Chapter 70: The Five Kage Summit

The Land of Iron.

Ryūnosuke Society Headquarters

Sasuke stood resolute, his eyes reflecting a fierce determination. "I've thought deeply these past few days and finally made up my mind... After killing Danzo, I will unify the ninja world, completely eliminate war, and achieve true peace!"

Karin, Jūgo, and Suigetsu were taken aback by Sasuke's bold declaration.

Sasuke continued, "To achieve this goal, I have decided to restructure the Ryūnosuke Society, creating three new guardians and the Five Elements Flags..."

Karin, Jūgo, and Suigetsu listened intently, absorbing every word.

Sasuke announced, "Karin, Jūgo, and Suigetsu, you are appointed as the three guardians."

The trio responded in unison, "Yes!"

Sasuke paused, contemplating his next move. "Each of the Five Elements Flags will recruit 5,000 members. I will personally oversee the Fire and Lightning Flags."

"As for the Earth, Wind, and Water Flags, you three will be responsible for them respectively. Additionally, you are allowed to establish a 500-man guardian team each..."

Karin, Jūgo, and Suigetsu nodded, "Yes!"

Sasuke pondered for a moment, "Do you have any suitable candidates for the flag leaders?"

Karin suggested, "Sasuke, do you remember Kakuzu from the Akatsuki organization?"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, recalling the hostage captured from the Rain Village.

Karin adjusted her glasses, "Kakuzu heard that Pain's Six Paths had been defeated and expressed his willingness to join the Ryūnosuke Society on the spot... He's a business genius, so why not appoint him as the leader of the Earth Flag?"

Each of the Five Flags has its own expertise.

The Earth Flag, like the nurturing earth, is responsible for providing development funds to the Ryūnosuke Society and is primarily active in the business field...

Sasuke nodded, "Alright, I'll leave it to you, Karin. I trust your judgment."

Suigetsu and Jūgo then shared the talents they were interested in.

Sasuke waved his hand, approving their choices one by one.

Soon, the Ryūnosuke Society began to undergo significant reforms.

Time flew by.

**On the Day of the Five Kage Summit.**

A bustling commercial street.

Naruto looked around excitedly, "Wow, Kakashi-sensei, Captain Yamato, it's so lively here!"

Yamato cautioned, "Naruto, stop making so much noise. We have a mission this time!"

He turned to Kakashi, "Right, Kakashi-senpai... Hey, where did he go? Is it an enemy attack?"

Kakashi was crouched in front of a bookstall, "Oh, this is the limited edition of 'Icha Icha Paradise.' Buy them all!"

Yamato nearly dropped his jaw in disbelief.

He gritted his teeth, clenching his fists, "Please, both of you, show some seriousness!"

At that moment, Kakuzu appeared, swaggering down the street.

Yamato's forehead was covered in cold sweat, "Kakuzu from Akatsuki?"

Kakashi immediately became alert, "Why are you here? Is Akatsuki plotting against the Five Kage Summit?"

Kakuzu replied, "I am now the leader of the Earth Flag of the Ryūnosuke Society, so don't mention Akatsuki anymore."

Kakashi and the others exclaimed, "What?"

Kakuzu's expression was blank. What's the big deal?

He had joined Akatsuki just to make money. There was no need to live and die with them.

Besides, after joining the Ryūnosuke Society, with 5,000 more people under his command, the speed of making money is more than 100 times faster than before!

Now, even if Pain resurrected to catch him, Kakuzu had no intention of returning to Akatsuki!

Kakashi frowned, pondering Sasuke's motives for recruiting former Akatsuki members.

Kakuzu's face darkened slightly, "Alright, if you have nothing to do, get out of the way. Don't hinder me from executing President Sasuke's orders!"

With that, he walked away.

Kakashi and the others exchanged glances.

A shadow crossed Yamato's brow, "Is Sasuke's order... to assassinate Danzo?"

Naruto shouted, "Oh no, don't just stand there! Hurry, follow him and see!"

**Conference Building.**

The Five Kage had just taken their seats.

Raikage A declared, "Let's keep it short. Akatsuki is too rampant. I suggest we gather the strength of the five major ninja villages to eradicate it!"

Kazekage Gaara agreed, "I concur."

Mizukage Mei Terumi added, "I agree as well."

Tsuchikage Ōnoki nodded, "I have no objections."

Danzo boasted, "The Akatsuki is just a bunch of clowns. Compared to them, I volunteer to be the commander-in-chief of this eradication operation!"

Ōnoki scoffed, "How can a mere 'Acting Hokage' take on such a heavy responsibility?"

Raikage chimed in, "That's right. Fighting isn't about hiding behind and plotting!"

Danzo's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Gaara and Mei Terumi quickly intervened to smooth things over.

Suddenly, a vortex-shaped space fluctuation appeared on the conference room wall.

The Five Kage and their guards immediately became cautious and alert.

Swoosh!

A masked figure, known as "Obito" but pretending to be Uchiha Madara, appeared.

Obito sat casually in the middle of the round table, unfazed by the presence of the Five Kage, exuding the demeanor of a powerful figure.

Raikage was furious, "Akatsuki? Let's go!"

Obito, without even raising his eyes, said, "I can't do it," and turned to Danzo, "Hand over the Nine-Tails, or we'll start a war!"

Danzo narrowed his eyes, "Who are you? I don't talk to nameless people."

Obito sneered, "Who am I? I'm... Uchiha Madara!"

Danzo broke into a cold sweat, "Uchiha Madara?"

Ōnoki was shocked, "What, impossible!"

Gaara remained calm, "Let's not worry about whether your identity is true or false. I ask you, why does Akatsuki want to collect tailed beasts? Don't you know that doing so will destroy the peace of the ninja world?"

Obito spoke slowly, "Collecting tailed beasts is to achieve eternal peace!"

Gaara's face darkened, "What do you mean?"

Obito explained, "Things have come to this point, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Everything is for the Moon Eye Plan."

Gaara and the others were confused.

Obito continued, "Gathering nine tailed beasts can revive the Ten-Tails. At that time, I will become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, and then use the Ten-Tails' chakra to project my Sharingan to the moon, and finally launch the illusion covering the entire ninja world, Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

Gaara was horrified, "Illusion?"

Obito confirmed, "Yes, then everyone will be able to find eternal happiness in the world of illusion!"

Gaara and the others exchanged glances, realizing this man who calls himself "Uchiha Madara" is definitely a madman!

Mei Terumi declared, "Sorry, our Mist Village is not interested in the Moon Eye Plan. Not only are we not interested, but we will also do our best to stop you!"

Gaara stood up, "The same is true for the Sand Village."

Ōnoki slammed the table, "I am the same! Immersed in the world of illusion? Really, what kind of happiness is this?"

At this moment, Raikage could no longer hold back, "You've finished talking nonsense, then you'll die! Take this, Lightning Release: Heavy Flow!"

Boom!

Raikage's attack penetrated Obito's body and smashed the round table.

Obito was full of regret, "Hey, I was hoping you would understand, but now it seems that the Fourth Ninja World War is inevitable..."

The Five Kage were shocked, "What, Ninja World War?"

Obito declared, "Yes, I solemnly declare to the Five Great Nations..."

Just then, Sasuke's voice came from outside, "Danzo, old dog, come out and die!"

Danzo's face turned green with anger, and he jumped out of the house without thinking, but he was frightened by the scene in front of him, and his legs went limp!

Bang, bang, bang!

The ground trembled, and the fierce murderous aura covered the entire conference building.

Obito, Ōnoki, and others could no longer sit still and jumped out of the house one after another...
