Chapter 352 The Envoy from the Land of Iron Visits
In Takigakure, Kakuzu sat in his office looking at a message from Tetsuya on his phone.
The message was simple and clear, just one sentence.
Phase one complete, phase two begins.
"Chief! Chief, something terrible has happened!"
"What's wrong? Why are you all so flustered? Has the Akatsuki attacked?"
Putting away his phone, Kakuzu reprimanded the visitor. Seeing the other person sweating profusely and looking nervous, he then asked a question.
"Tell me, what happened that made you so panicked?"
"Leader, something's happened! Feng... Feng has been captured by the Akatsuki!"
"what!"
Kakuzu slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
"Why is this happening! Isn't the route Maple took to Konoha known only to us and Konoha?!"
"We don't know what happened, leader. Just now, we received a blood letter from a spirit beast."
They said that before leaving the Land of Waterfall, they encountered a group of Akatsuki members disguised as Konoha ninja!
"Quickly, summon the elders for a meeting!"
Kakuzu convened an emergency meeting. After learning that Kaede had been captured by members of the Akatsuki, everyone was shocked and furious.
The fact that the Akatsuki knew the route that only they and Konoha knew suggests that there's only one possibility: they made a mistake, and Konoha might actually be connected to the Akatsuki.
"Damn Akatsuki, damn Konoha."
"Chief, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We can't do anything about either Konoha or Akatsuki!"
"Are we just going to accept it like that?"
"No, we can't just accept this. We can't swallow this."
"But what can you do even if you can't swallow this insult? Do you have any other options?"
Just as everyone was discussing and sighing, Kakuzu suddenly stood up and spoke.
"Gentlemen, perhaps we have one last option to choose from."
Everyone looked at their leader.
In Konoha, when Tsunade learned of Jiraiya's ordeal, she felt like her world was collapsing.
"Why is this happening? How did the Akatsuki know the route?"
Now, even Tsunade herself is starting to wonder if Konoha has some kind of connection with the Akatsuki.
"I do not know either."
Jiraiya shook his head.
"However, what we should be more concerned about now is not how the Akatsuki knew the route, but what we should do next."
They owe Takigakure Village some kind of explanation, and also...
Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Shizune rushed in through the door.
"Lady Tsunade!"
"Mute? What's wrong now?"
Seeing this familiar scene, Tsunade was already numb.
Since becoming Hokage, she had lost count of how many times she had witnessed such a scene.
"Lord Jiraiya is here too."
Shizune greeted Jiraiya first before replying.
"Lady Tsunade, the envoy from the Land of Iron has arrived with letters from the five countries."
"An envoy from the Land of Iron? Letters from five nations? What on earth is going on?"
"I don't know the specifics, but the envoy is already waiting for you in the reception room."
Tsunade felt waves of headache coming on.
However, she had a rough idea of the purpose of their visit; it must be for the Five Kage Summit.
But here's the question: what's the deal with these five letters from different countries?
"Let's go, Tsunade, let's see what's going on."
"Well, I see."
Tsunade sighed.
I shouldn't have come back to take over the Hokage position in the first place.
Since becoming Hokage, not a single good thing has happened.
In the reception room, an envoy from the Land of Fire sat at one end of a long table, with two armored warriors standing behind him.
However, according to the rules, weapons must be laid down before entering the Hokage Building, so the two men had their swords removed.
However, even without swords, the two samurai exuded a powerful aura, an aura distinct from that of ninjas and unique to samurai.
"Hello, Lord Hokage. I am Chosuke, a samurai from the Land of Iron."
Upon seeing Tsunade and Jiraiya appear, Josuke stood up and bowed slightly in a samurai salute.
"Greetings, Lord Chosuke. I am Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha."
When Tsunade saw Okisuke, her suspicions were further confirmed.
She knew this person; he was the second-in-command of the Land of Iron. Since such a person was chosen as an envoy, this matter was definitely not trivial.
"Lord Hokage, I've come this time primarily on behalf of the five nations of Lightning, Water, Earth, Wind, and Waterfall, to deliver a message to you..."
Leaf, the underground base of the roots.
"Lord Danzo, an envoy from the Land of Iron has arrived. The Fifth Hokage has met with the envoy..."
A Root ninja reported the arrival of the envoy from the Land of Iron to Danzo.
Danzo sat in a chair, leaning on his cane with both hands and squinting his eyes.
"I understand, you may leave."
"Yes!"
After the Root ninjas withdrew, Danzo could no longer suppress a smug smile.
"Hahaha, I've finally waited for this day."
Although the person just now did not find out what the purpose of the envoy from the Land of Iron was, as the dark side of the ninja world and the famous scapegoat of the multiverse.
Even a fool could guess the other party's purpose: the Five Kage Summit.
"Tsunade, you can't hold onto this Hokage position. You should hand it over to me."
He's been working behind the scenes for so long, sending intelligence to the Akatsuki and getting Root ninjas to wear Konoha headbands to help him. Isn't it all for today?
"However, that's not enough. We need to find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Tsunade."
As he spoke, Danzo took out his phone, opened the chat app, and found his friend's fake world.
Without thinking twice, Danzo sent a message directly.
The Dark Side of the Ninja World: "People from the Land of Iron have come to Konoha. They're probably here for the Five Kage Summit. The Kage of the five great ninja villages will be in attendance, which will inevitably weaken the internal defenses of each village. This is an opportunity."
The virtual world: "Received, wait for my message."
Obito put down his phone and turned to Nagato.
"A message has come from our sources: the five great ninja villages are about to hold a Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron."
"The Five Kage Summit?"
Nagato raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Why would these guys choose to hold the Five Kage Summit at this time? Aren't they just creating an opportunity for us?"
The Five Kage Summit is being held in the Land of Iron, which means that the Kage from each village will leave their village.
A ninja village losing a Kage—isn't that weakening its own fighting power?
Obito laughed dismissively.
"They simply want to use the Five Kage Summit as an opportunity to put pressure on Konoha and gain more benefits from Konoha."
After all, these guys wouldn't do anything that wouldn't benefit them.
Nagato snorted coldly.
"Hmph, since they've given us this opportunity, then we won't be polite."
