Chapter 43 Five Kage Conference

When most people are staring at the chat room and eating melon.

Only Nara Shikaku for a long time.

Keep his eyes on the light screen.

I dare not relax in the slightest, for fear that I will miss important information due to distraction.

After one battle after another without any suspense, the preliminaries for the third test ended smoothly.

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Luffy, Zoro, Ash, Accelerator, Mikoto Misaka, Gaara, Hyuga Neji, Nara Shikamaru, Lee.

There are twelve players in total.

Successfully advanced to the official competition of the Chūnin exam.

["Now..."]

[Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, dressed in a Hokage robe, said: "Let me explain, it is the content of the competition."]

["I said before that you will have a formal competition in front of all the high-level ninja circles."]

["You represent the combat power of each country."]

["I hope that you will be able to perform at your best by then!"]

["to this end."]

[Sarutobi Hiruzen paused and continued: "The official competition will be held in a month!"]

["Eh--"]

[Luffy and Naruto screamed strangely at the same time. ]

[Naruto glanced at his mouth and said: "I thought we would start now!"]

["hehe."]

[Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled kindly and explained: "This period of time is used to prepare. In order to have time to inform the daimyo of each country and the kage of each ninja village, and summon them to watch the official competition."]

["at the same time."]

["This also gives you some time to prepare for battle."]

[After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and announced the disbandment, letting the Genin prepare their own preparations. ]

[at this time. ]

[Ken walked to Sarutobi Hiruzen, handed over a document and said: "Lord Hokage, this is the information you want about Yakushi Kabuto."]

["Um!"]

[Sarutobi Hiruzen takes a look. ]

[Narrowing his eyes, he said in a deep voice: "No wonder I feel familiar. It turns out that this is the seventh time he has taken the Chūnin exam. It seemed to be the same last time. When the official competition was approaching, he suddenly abstained."]

[Opening the information, Sarutobi Hiruzen found that Yakushi Kabuto's grades during school were average and not outstanding. ]

[It took three exams before barely graduating. ]

[Completed C-level missions twice and D-level missions fourteen times. ]

[Resume is very general. ]

[Simple and unpretentious, just like most mediocre ninjas in Konoha. ]

[but...]

[Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed that this boy was an enemy boy who was brought back during the Battle of Kikyo Mountain, and was later adopted by Jōnin Yakushi Nonou of the Medical Department. ]

["he is a problem!!"]

["You are responsible for keeping an eye on him. If there is any situation, report to me as soon as possible!"]

["yes!"]

[The qualifiers are over, and all ninjas will be settled on the spot. ]

[Sarutobi Hiruzen stood there, waiting for everyone to leave, looking at the empty venue and taking a puff of a cigarette. ]

[Next...]

Nara Shikaku: "Lord Hokage, there is a situation!"

Nara Shikaku, who had been paying attention to the light screen, discovered the problem immediately and reported it to Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately.

"Um?!"

Seeing Nara Shikaku's reminder.

Everyone in the ninja world finally came back to their senses from the melon-eating mode.

Look at the light curtain.

At this moment, in the empty competition venue, Sarutobi Hiruzen was in no hurry to leave.

Instead, after confirming that no one was around, he quickly made two seals.

[Crack! ]

[A certain wall opens. ]

[A path is revealed, bottomless, like a staircase leading to the Nine Nether Hells. ]

[ Sarutobi Hiruzen walked down the stairs and came to a spacious conference room. ]

Fourth Raikage: "Do you still have a place like this in Konoha?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Yeah!"

This is a very secluded conference room.

It is rarely used.

Usually he and Danzo would gather here when they had something shady to do and needed to plot.

Because of this meeting room, there is an enchantment around it.

Once an outsider approaches.

There will be a piercing siren sound.

["It's too slow!"]

[An impatient voice came from the dim conference room. ]

Fourth Raikage's eyes widened: "This is..."

Only in the light curtain.

showed his appearance.

In addition to him, on the spacious conference table were Iwagakure's Rock Shinobi Onoki, Sunagakure's Sand Shinobi Rasa, and Terumi, who was nominally the Kirigakure Marine Admiral, but actually held almost no difference in power from the Fleet-Admiral.

Plus him and Konoha's Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

now...

The kage of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world.

Gather here!

["I am sorry to made you wait!"]

[Sarutobi Hiruzen blew out the smoke, sat down slowly, placed the Hokage hat on the table, and said with a smile: "Watching those kids compete, I wasted a little time."]

[The impatient Fourth Raikage knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Now that everyone is here, let's start..."]

["Let's talk among the five Kage!"]

Hearing these words, everyone in the ninja world was in an uproar.

Although, They had expected it.

This Chūnin exam is prepared for the Five Kage Conference.

But the moment it came out of Fourth Raikage's mouth, everyone gasped.

because...

This means that their guess is correct.

The five Kage in the future have really discovered the existence of gods and are discussing countermeasures!

["Wait a moment!"]

[Onoki slowly raised his head, interrupted Fourth Raikage's speech, and turned his attention to Terumi Mei: "Before the Five Kage Talks begin, I hope that Miss Terumi Mei, you can explain why write a letter to invite us to hold the Five Kage Talks." ]

["And...emphasis added."]

["Pay attention to concealment."]

["The reason why it cannot be discovered by anyone, even the most trusted person!"]

[This Chūnin exam. ]

[They originally didn't want to participate. ]

[It was a sudden letter from Terumi Mei, informing them that she was going to hold a meeting of the Five Kage to discuss major issues related to the future of the ninja world. She would set the location in Konoha and use the Chūnin exam as a cover to hold it secretly. ]

[The envelope uses the highest level of encryption and will be destroyed after reading. ]

[See Terumi Mei is so serious. ]

[The other four Kage did not dare to be careless, leaving a Shadow Clone to work in place, while the main body used the Transformation Technique to blend into the envoys for this exam. ]

[Fish eyes mixed with pearls. ]

[Sneaked into Konoha without anyone noticing. ]

[and. ]

[Sarutobi Hiruzen also deliberately released news about Konoha that would come one month later to politicians, daimyo, and film actors from various countries. ]

[To confuse the audience and make a time difference. ]

[Such a big fight. ]

[But he didn't even know who the target of the alert was, which made Onoki a little intolerable. ]

[ Terumi Mei did not speak, but looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen. ]

[Sarutobi Hiruzen makes a seal with both hands. ]

[A faint translucent ripple suddenly appeared in the surrounding air. ]

["alright!"]

["Now a barrier has been set up here. Within a radius of five kilometers, except for the five of us, as long as someone approaches, we will know it immediately."]

["If anything happens, just say it boldly!"]

["Um!"]

[ Terumi Mei nodded, looked around the four people, and said solemnly: "Roger, the Pirate King, I believe everyone is familiar with him!"]

[Fourth Raikage: "Nonsense!"]

[Although Roger was a rebel ninja from Kirigakure, his deeds are now widely spread in the ninja world. ]

[Especially the treasure called "OnePiece". ]

[I don't know how many young people were attracted to rush to the sea one after another, which once opened the age of pirate era. ]

["That treasure is actually a fake!"]

[Terumi Mei opened her mouth with a shocking secret and chuckled: "Actually, there is no treasure at all. It was all a trap specially set by Roger to deceive someone."]

["Or to be more precise, Roger has handed over the great secret treasure to us from the beginning."]

["What's the meaning?"]

[Fourth Raikage frowned and asked. ]

[ Terumi Mei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You must be wondering, why do I emphasize concealment and tell you not to tell anyone?" ]

["because..."]

["We may have been monitored a long time ago!"]

["What?!"]

[The other four suddenly turned pale with shock. ]

[ Terumi Mei's face remained unchanged and continued: "According to the information Roger gave us, he learned from the voice from outside that although the gods were temporarily unable to come to the ninja world for some reasons, she had been there thousands of years ago. Just dropped an unknown black object in the ninja world."]

["Responsible for monitoring the ninja world."]

["Even some wars, such as the battle between Uchiha Madara and First Hokage Senju Hashirama, were secretly provoked by this unknown black object."]

["Because this unknown black object is obviously intelligent."]

["To a certain extent, he can also be called the son born from the god."]

["So, Mr. Roger calls it..."]

["Tomoko!"]
