Chapter 101: The Five Kage Summit

Konohagakure

The next morning.

As Sakura yawned and headed to Konoha Hospital to continue her medical ninjutsu training, she once again ran into Ino, who was also yawning and looked exhausted.

Ino greeted first, “Sakura, didn’t you sleep well last night either?”

Sakura nodded, “Yeah, I kept feeling like there were a lot of people walking on the roof.”

Ino empathized, “It wasn’t so bad where I was, but a lot of my clan members were woken up and left, including my dad. I have no idea what happened; I couldn’t sleep well at all.”

Despite their potential, the two girls were still just Genin and unaware of the significant events that had occurred the previous night.

However, it didn’t take long.

When two ANBU ninjas suddenly appeared in front of them, asking them to cooperate with an investigation and inquiring about Dr. Souke, Sakura and Ino exchanged surprised and confused looks.

What exactly had happened?

Iron Country, the Five Kage Summit

Having not yet received updates from Konoha, Tsunade, along with Shizune and Naruto, traveled day and night to reach the Iron Country. After meeting with General Mifune and resting well for a night, they proceeded as planned the next day. They joined the other four Kage in a specially prepared meeting room to officially commence the long-awaited second Five Kage Summit.

When Tsunade and her group arrived, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, was already seated, with Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi standing behind him.

“Old man Ōnoki, long time no see,” Tsunade greeted with a chuckle.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

During the time of the Shinobi World War, she, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru had often clashed with the Iwa-nin.

There was an incident where they were surrounded by Iwa-nin and in grave danger, and Orochimaru had suggested killing the heavily injured Jiraiya, which Tsunade remembered clearly.

If she recalled correctly, Ōnoki was commanding the Iwa-nin forces at that time.

Hearing this, Ōnoki looked over and replied with a smile, “Tsunade, I didn’t expect you to become the Hokage.”

“Things rarely go as planned. Just like you, old man Ōnoki, still serving as the Third Tsuchikage,” Tsunade responded casually as she took her seat.

Ōnoki sighed and shook his head, “It can’t be helped. Not everyone has the abundance of talent like Konoha.”

“Isn’t this a new face?” Tsunade glanced at Kurotsuchi, whom she hadn’t met before, after recognizing Kurotsuchi.

Ōnoki replied, “This is my granddaughter, just brought her to gain some experience, so don’t praise her.”

“Who is this handsome blond guy?”

“Blond? Handsome? Are you talking about me?” Naruto exclaimed, pointing at himself in surprise.

Receiving affirmation, Naruto, who had never been called handsome before, grinned widely, his face showing a bit of embarrassment.

To show his gratitude, Naruto, recognizing Mei’s hat similar to Tsunade’s, called her just as he called Tsunade:

“Mizukage Granny...”

Boom!

A fair fist immediately sent him flying.

“Call me sister! Brat!”

Mei gritted her teeth as she spoke.

“Indeed. As expected of the ninja ranked number one for unpredictability.”

Recalling the assessment of Naruto in Konoha’s ninja files, Tsunade wasn’t surprised at all seeing this scene.

Bringing Naruto here, it would be unusual if nothing unexpected happened.

Fortunately, the atmosphere had become more lively as a result.

Overall... not bad.

After the commotion, things quickly calmed down, and the scene returned to normal.

Rubbing his red cheek, Naruto, back behind Tsunade, thought this place was too dangerous and decided not to speak anymore.

Finally, the group from Sunagakure arrived.

Seeing a familiar face, Naruto’s eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot his previous thoughts.

“Gaara! You’re here too...”

Naruto, with great enthusiasm, started walking over to greet Gaara.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly noticed something and, in shock, pointed at Gaara, stammering:

“Gaara! You... you... you...”

“How did you become the Kazekage so quickly?!!”
