"Chiyo is appointed as the Fifth Kazekage."
"How interesting."
"Doesn't Sunagakure fear that this old geezer might kick the bucket after a few years in office?"
Ryujiro sneered.
Among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Sunagakure was the weakest.
Honestly, Ryujiro didn't understand why Sunagakure was one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Was it because its overall national strength was stronger than the other small countries?
Not only was the environment in Sunagakure harsh, but the number of capable individuals in the village was also extremely low.
At this time, to stabilize the situation in Sunagakure, they actually nominated an almost-dead person as the Kazekage.
Speaking of which, Sunagakure's compensation should soon be sent to Konoha. This time, Sunagakure's compensation was like a massive hemorrhage.
Within Sunagakure, there were voices of opposition, but what good was it to oppose?
Did they have the qualification to negotiate with Konoha?
The reason Sunagakure dared to negotiate with Konoha was because they had seen the previous Konoha leadership's weakness.
But now, with Tsunade and Ryujiro as the strong figures in Konoha, thinking of reaping benefits in Konoha?
That's just wishful thinking.
The news of the Raikage's visit to Konoha attracted great attention from the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, while the Land of Water was still guarding its own territory without any movements.
Why was the Raikage visiting Konoha?
This was something all the major nations wanted to know.
Konoha and Kumogakure were almost sworn enemies.
Visiting Konoha at such a special time made it hard to fathom.
Akatsuki had also been noticed by the Five Great Shinobi Villages. An organization that captured tailed beasts naturally attracted the high attention of the five great nations.
Tailed beasts were war machines that could influence the balance of the shinobi world, and now Sunagakure was worried that Gaara might encounter the Akatsuki that captured tailed beasts.
If that was really the case, the strength of the Land of Wind would once again be greatly weakened.
In that case, they would have no way to argue with the other great nations.
About three days later, the Raikage had already arrived within the territory of the Land of Fire.
Tsunade also held another high-level meeting to respond to the Raikage's visit.
The Anbu were also constantly monitoring the movements of the Raikage in the village to prevent any unexpected situations from arising.
At this high-level meeting, Ryujiro was again absent.
Koharu was initially displeased and wanted to argue with Tsunade, but was eventually stopped by Tsunade's strong stance.
Hiashi Hyuga also sighed helplessly in his heart. Although Tsunade's actions were somewhat inappropriate, Konoha finally had a strong Hokage.
At the same time, in the former Root base, in the dark and empty surroundings.
Danzo sat alone in the base, his eyes faintly gazing at a spot, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.
Buzz—
The surrounding space suddenly twisted into a vortex, and a black dot and a figure appeared in front of Danzo.
Uchiha Obito.
Even Ryujiro would be surprised to see Danzo in contact with Obito.
"Next, let's have a good talk."
As the red light in Obito's eyes flared up, the temperature in the entire base dropped.
Even though Danzo was willing to cooperate with Obito, he did not let down his guard.
After all, the person before him was the legendary Uchiha Madara.
Although it was unclear whether it was true or false, those eyes were undoubtedly Mangekyo Sharingan.
Tsunade...
You have been creating so many problems for me, so now don't blame me for being unrighteous.
Although the Anbu ninja monitored Danzo, they would not enter the base; they only guarded the entrance.
As for what happened inside, none of them knew.
...
Ryujiro was not far from the Root base at this moment. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed a special presence with his Observation Haki and paused.
This aura, it's Obito.
And Danzo...
Heh, what are these two up to now?
Danzo, it seems you are indeed desperate enough to seek contact with someone like Obito.
The position of Hokage is surely not suitable for someone like you.
In fact, when Tsunade disbanded Root, Ryujiro had anticipated that Danzo might be driven to desperation by Tsunade and do something reckless.
Collaborating with Obito, was Danzo planning to manipulate things during Pain's invasion of Konoha?
Although Ryujiro knew that Danzo and Obito were in contact, he did not intend to stop it.
He wanted to see what Danzo was planning.
A day later, the Raikage arrived in Konoha.
The entire Konoha village seemed to be under a heavy atmosphere.
Because the Raikage brought a coffin.
A Kage bringing a coffin to Konoha, such a move was inevitably intriguing.
At this time, in the reception hall of the Hokage's office, Tsunade's face was extremely ugly as she looked at the coffin in front of her and asked gloomily.
"Raikage, what is the meaning of this?"
There was no expression on A's face. He glanced at Mabui and said, "Mabui, open the coffin."
"Raikage!"
"Don't go too far!"
Tsunade's angry roar echoed throughout the room, creating an atmosphere that felt like it could explode at any moment.
Raikage visiting Konoha was one thing.
But bringing a coffin, what did that mean?
Kakashi frowned on the side, having a bad premonition.
When the coffin was opened, the faces of everyone on Konoha's side changed.
The person lying in the coffin was!
It was Darui!
Also known as the right hand man of the Raikage. There were very few people in the shinobi world who didn't know Darui.
Moreover, Darui was the Raikage's most loyal subordinate.
Such a person was lying in a cold coffin.
Thud.
At the sight of the corpse, Tsunade's heart skipped a beat. The wounds looked like they were inflicted by a sword.
Could it have been that brat Ryujiro?
At this moment, Ryujiro was still leisurely making his way over.
Tsunade felt uncertain, but as the Hokage, she couldn't show any weakness at this moment.
"Raikage, what is the meaning of this?"
Tsunade asked gloomily.
The Raikage didn't speak. Instead, his secretary explained the whole incident. By the time Mabui finished, the faces of Konoha's people were grim.
"Raikage, aren't you going too far?"
"Just because of the wounds, you suspect our Konoha's Hokage assistant! Do you think we would punish one of our shinobi just because of your suspicion?"
With that, Tsunade's aura burst forth.
Even A was somewhat surprised. Initially, he had some disdain for the fact that Konoha's Fifth Hokage was a woman.
But now it seemed that this woman was not simple.
A crossed his arms, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Let's not mention this for now, but how do you explain the incident in the Land of Flowers?"
"There Kumogakure lost a Genin, a Chunin, and a Jonin."
"Don't tell me this had nothing to do with Konoha."
Tsunade was speechless for a moment, and just then, a young figure pushed the door open and appeared before everyone.
The young man glanced at the Raikage and said indifferently.
"I am the one who killed them."
