Chapter 526: Five Kage Summit

Three days later, the Kage gathered, and the Five Kage Summit convened as scheduled.

The root cause is the Akatsuki's plan to capture and seize Tail Beasts, which poses a huge threat to the Five Great Nations.

Fourth Raikage Ai, in order to hold the other four Kage accountable and to unite the Five Great Nations against the Akatsuki,

thus this meeting was held.

Inside the meeting hall.

The Five Kage sat around a massive round table, with each of their personal guards standing behind them.

Sanshuan, the leader of the Tie Zhi Guo, presided, seated at the head seat, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone present.

The Five Kage began discussing how to counter the Akatsuki.

They did not at all notice the two Tie Zhi Guo warriors whispering nearby.

The two were the infiltrators Lian Ye and Zhi Cun Tuan Zang.

Their position happened to give them a view of everyone present.

"In this timeline, how did I end up looking like this?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, seeing his own appearance in this timeline, frowned displeased.

Although his looks were not as handsome as Lian Ye's, they were not exactly ugly either.

The guy opposite him had bandages wrapped around his eye and arm, and a scar on his chin.

His face was full of shadows.

He could not believe that his future self would look so battered.

After years of observation, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang knew that Lian Ye was famously a looks‑obsessed person, lacking patience for those who were not good‑looking.

He could not imagine how disdainful Lian Ye would be if his future self became that ugly.

No, this must not be allowed to happen!

Kettle Kage, while listening to the other Kage express their views, sensed a gaze fixed directly on him.

He instinctively looked toward the two nearby warriors, his brows slightly furrowing.

Are Tie Zhi Guo warriors always so impolite?

If the setting were different, he would definitely send someone to teach them a lesson.

Not just anyone can disrespect the Hokage!

Never mind, now is not the time to think about that.

The top priority is to become the commander of the Ninja Alliance.

Kettle Kage has always coveted power; if he could become the supreme commander of the entire Ninja Alliance, it would be ideal.

Thus, he entertained the thought of controlling Sanshuan.

Acting on the idea, he immediately used Bietian Deity on Sanshuan, interfering with and manipulating Sanshuan's neural pathways to subtly control his thoughts.

In the end, he made Sanshuan recommend Kettle Kage as the commander of the Ninja Alliance!

"They actually want to pick the Hokage as the Ninja Alliance's chief," Fourth Raikage Ai said, standing up in displeasure.

He truly did not expect the commander to fall to Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, and wondered what Sanshuan was thinking.

"I am honored; I am willing to shoulder this great responsibility,"

Kettle Kage suppressed his inner joy and feigned nonchalance as he spoke.

"Why the Hokage? This guy is the very embodiment of Ninja's Darkness! He must not be appointed!"

Fourth Raikage Ai persisted in his view, believing that Tuan Cang's style was unsuitable for the Ninja Alliance's chief.

Speaking, he slammed his fist onto the table, instantly leaving a massive imprint.

The other Kage did not immediately oppose, but remained on the sidelines.

"To lead the strong, some measures are naturally required, and I understand that well,"

Sanshuan glanced at the Raikage and the table, and said lightly.

"But everything driven by emotion, those who like to use brute force, will only make the Ninja Alliance fall apart like this table,"

His words meant that the Raikage, relying on violence to solve problems, is the least suitable to command the Ninja Alliance.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Sanshuan, feeling something was off.

"Lian Ye, is that Sanshuan guy under a Genjutsu?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang noticed Sanshuan's sudden change in attitude and sensed something fishy.

So he asked his genjutsu‑skilled good brother.

"Exactly, he is indeed under a Sharingan genjutsu, and the caster is you from this timeline," Lian Ye whispered.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang: "???"

A Sharingan genjutsu, this timeline's me?!

So that means that guy possesses the Sharingan!

His gaze subconsciously fell on Tuan Cang's right eye wrapped in bandages.

No wonder he needed bandages; that makes sense now.

Tuan Cang truly did not expect his self in this timeline to go so mad as to transplant a Sharingan.

Wait, how did Lian Ye discover this?

He looked at Lian Ye in astonishment, as if his good brother knew everything.

The problem was noticed not only by the two, but also by Ao, the one standing behind Mizukage Mei Terumi.

He secretly activated his Byakugan to observe Zhi Cun Tuan Zang.

He found that his right arm and right eye both bore the Sharingan, and the eye's color matched Shisui Uchiha's!

He had once fought Shisui Uchiha, so he naturally knew the color of Shisui's eyes.

Thus, the reason for Sanshuan's drastic change of temperament is now clear.

"Hokage, may I see your right eye under the bandage?" Qing asked suddenly: "Your right eye must be the one transplanted from Shisui Uchiha, right?"

He showed no hesitation and publicly exposed the secret beneath Tuan Cang's right eye.

Everyone turned to the expressionless Kage, all aware of the power of Shisui Uchiha's eyes.

It seems he used the Sharingan to control Sanshuan...

Sanshuan only then realized and reacted.

The Fourth Raikage Ai had already disliked Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, and upon learning the truth he erupted in fury, slamming his fist on the table again.

"Dammit, you actually did this!"

Just as he was about to rush forward and give Tuan Cang a lesson, a Bai Jue suddenly emerged from the center of the arena.

"Hello~"

The people present instantly became alert, all preparing for battle.

The Akatsuki members arrived!

"Bai Jue?"

From a short distance away, Tuan Cang saw the appearing Bai Jue and raised an eyebrow.

It seems, just as he imagined, the Akatsuki cannot be separated from Madara Uchiha.

Lian Ye pulled Tuan Cang back a few steps to avoid being caught in the upcoming fight.

It's coming; the long‑awaited storyline is finally arriving.

Er Zhu Zi is about to appear right away!

"Sasuke Uchiha is right here; where on earth is he hiding?"

Bai Jue pretended to be curious, looked around, and said with a grin that enjoyed the spectacle without minding the seriousness.

"Everyone, let's all go find Sasuke!"

The irritable Raikage finally could not bear it any longer, immediately seized Bai Jue by the throat and angrily demanded.

"Where is Sasuke Uchiha? Answer me honestly!"

"If you don't answer, don't blame me for being rude!"

Bai Jue, with his throat being squeezed, said helplessly, "I really have no way with you, so I'll give you a bit..."

He hadn't finished speaking when the impatient Raikage cut off his throat.

Lian Ye and Tuan Cang, watching the scene, said: "..."

Everyone present, except those from Cloud Hidden Village, said: "..."

The brutes from Cloud Hidden Village are truly getting more reckless.

Bai Jue hadn't finished speaking when it was directly strangled to death.

In that case, what the heck were you asking earlier!

The dead Bai Jue.

Speak for me, speak for me!
