The Five Kage Summit, originally initiated by Konoha Village, has become a source of endless bickering and debate among the various ninja villages due to the constantly changing situation.
After a long and complicated negotiation, the location was finally determined to be a huge waterfall on the outskirts of the Land of Rain.
In addition to the leaders and representatives of the five great ninja villages, Amegakure, which had just experienced a disaster and was still struggling to rebuild, also participated in this conference as the host.
Konoha has publicly stated that it will escort Shinnosuke Sarutobi to Amegakure and promises to give all the ninja villages a satisfactory explanation at the tournament.
While everyone was busy preparing for the conference, Tobirama Senju had already quickly finished dealing with these tedious matters and was now in Miyake Village conducting special training for Yakumo Kurama with Orochimaru.
After the special training ended, Tobirama and Orochimaru exchanged information in a secret room. Although there was a conflict between Tobirama and Orochimaru regarding the Shinnosuke incident, they had already started to handle the matter strictly by business when they discussed it again.
"Lord Tobirama, to this day, there is still no trace of that heretical statue."
The statue originally belonged to the Fire Temple, but after Shinnosuke modified it using forbidden methods, it became a strange being similar to a summoning beast, possessing autonomous consciousness and abilities.
At first, Tobirama and the others thought that as long as Shinnosuke was arrested, the statue would eventually get out of control and be easily found.
Unexpectedly, this strange statue seemed to possess its own consciousness, cleverly evading all investigation.
When asked about the Buddha statues at the Fire Temple, Tobirama continued to explain.
"The Fire Temple was originally a sacred place where monks practiced sage techniques. According to records, six years ago, Uchiha Awakening caused a huge riot there. Since then, the Fire Temple has lost its full-time monks and has become almost unmanaged."
At this point, Tobirama suddenly paused, as some crucial information flashed through his mind. He turned and stared directly at Orochimaru beside him. "According to the information given by Hyuga Natsu and Sarutobi Asuma, the Fire Temple has actually had a mysterious abbot for the past six years."
"But now when I look back at the records, I can't find any information about this person's identity at all, as if he had never actually existed."
Orochimaru was taken aback: "Isn't that abbot a monk from the Fire Temple?"
Tobirama frowned slightly, a strong sense of unease rising within him.
At this point, Orochimaru raised another point of doubt:
"Lord Tobirama, these are the results of the examination conducted on Shinnosuke just now. He doesn't actually possess the Sharingan bloodline gene of the Uchiha clan."
Upon hearing this news, Tobirama narrowed his eyes.
This result seems quite unexpected...:
"No Sharingan bloodline limit? Then what exactly is the Sharingan within him?"
Orochimaru was silent for a moment upon hearing this, then slowly explained, "Judging from the examination results, Shinnosuke possesses the Sharingan..."
It is a forbidden technique similar to a cursed seal.
"A cursed seal?"
"You mean, someone used the Sharingan's original power to temporarily transfer the Sharingan's ocular power to Shinnosuke?"
I couldn't help but stick out my tongue, suppressing my inner doubts.
Orochimaru chuckled...
"That's right, exactly. This forbidden technique is extremely complex and dangerous. The user transfers the original host's Sharingan power to Shinnosuke in a special way, thus temporarily giving him the ability of the three-tomoe Sharingan."
"This transfer is similar to the cursed seal mode, which can only maintain the power for a short time, but it will also have serious side effects and damage to the host's mind and body."
A dark cloud hung over their hearts.
It seemed as if something had been subconsciously overlooked by the two of them.
"In any case, let's prepare to head to Amegakure."
On the other side, by the river outside the Konoha camp.
On the river, Naruto Uzumaki was enthusiastically practicing walking on water.
After the arduous yet enthusiastic tree-climbing training, Naruto is now trying to step firmly onto the water while controlling the flow of chakra under his feet.
Standing on the shore, Kakashi quietly watched Naruto's figure, a slight smile appearing on his face.
He sighed softly, then took out a scroll of calligraphy that the Third Hokage had personally given him.
Slowly unrolling the scroll, the powerful character for "endurance" comes into view.
Every stroke exudes a powerful and resolute spirit, as if embodying Hiruzen Sarutobi's life experiences and insights, making one feel incredibly heavy and solemn.
It must be admitted that Hizen's calligraphy skills have indeed reached a state of perfection, with every stroke and line brimming with extraordinary spirit and energy.
"Kakashi, what are you looking at?"
Suddenly, Jiraiya's cheerful voice came from behind Kakashi.
Kakashi was slightly taken aback, then turned around and saw Jiraiya walking slowly towards him with a nonchalant smile.
"This is the handwriting that the Third Generation Elder personally gave me."
Jiraiya walked over with a grin, plopped down next to Kakashi, and casually took the scroll of calligraphy from him.
He stared at the scroll with great interest, examining it carefully, a subtle look of amazement and amusement on his face!
"The old man's calligraphy has become increasingly sharp and vigorous. Before, his calligraphy was always the kind of conventional and unremarkable style."
Kakashi nodded slightly upon hearing this, his gaze drifting to Naruto, who was still diligently practicing in the distance, his tone carrying a hint of complexity...
"Perhaps it is because the end of the ninja world is approaching that everyone's state of mind and spiritual world have undergone tremendous changes."
As Jiraiya listened to Kakashi's words, the smile on his face gradually faded, and a hint of heaviness appeared in his eyes.
"Yes... especially the Shinnosuke incident, the impact it had on Konoha was really too severe."
At this point, Jiraiya's expression clearly turned somewhat somber and bitter.
Deep down, he really wanted to say something or do something for Shinnosuke, but he knew perfectly well that everything Tobirama did was correct and logical, even if it was unreasonable.
But from the perspective of the village's overall situation, it is impossible to criticize any of his decisions.
Jiraiya remained silent for a while before finally speaking slowly.
"No matter how you look at it, Lord Tobirama's judgment is ultimately correct; at least logically, there is no problem with it."
Kakashi nodded: "I know. I really admire the Second Hokage's choice. Everything he did was from the perspective of the future of the ninja world."
Jiraiya shook his head with a wry smile: "Yes, but this approach is really a bit heartless. Tobirama-sama is actually quite lonely right now, and many people in the village have deep resentment and resistance to his actions."
Kakashi remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, a hint of concern and worry showing in his eyes.
"I can sense the change in emotions in the village. Indeed, many people cannot accept what the Second Hokage did, especially the matter between the Third Hokage and Captain Shinnosuke."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya scratched his head: "So lately, I've been trying to persuade Tsunade to spend more time with Tobirama-sama, since he's now the loneliest person in Konoha."
"If I don't spend more time with him, he might really feel like he's all alone."
Humph...
have a finger in the pie.
A coughing sound came from behind.
Kakashi and Jiraiya turned around at the sound and saw Tobirama standing not far away.
His face was devoid of any superfluous expression, as if frozen in the dead of winter, cold and serious.
"Second generation sir..."
"Get ready, you and Tsunade are coming with me to Amegakure. And Jiraiya, you're coming too!"
Jiraiya felt a chill run down his spine under Tobirama's icy gaze, instinctively shrinking back and cautiously replying, "Yes, Second Hokage... However, Danzo is now the Mizukage's advisor in Kirigakure..."
When Danzo is mentioned...
In fact, Tobirama was furious, but he still had to maintain his serious demeanor in front of Jiraiya and Kakashi.
"That wicked disciple Danzo, do you think I'd be afraid of him?"
Upon seeing this, Jiraiya involuntarily shivered and quickly lowered his head, not daring to utter another word.
As Tobirama left...
The two stood quietly by the river, gazing ahead, their eyes fixed on Naruto, who was tirelessly practicing walking on water.
Thinking of this, Kakashi gently rolled up the scroll with the character for "endurance" again and carefully put it into his pocket.
"As the Third Hokage said, being able to endure pain and pressure that ordinary people cannot bear, perhaps that is what makes a ninja."
