Tsunade suddenly furrowed her eyebrows!
Many present didn't have time to react.
In a normal person's mind, the participants of the meeting are the Five Kage, so hearing five agreeing voices isn't unusual.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru reacted the fastest!
These two quickly stood up, going into combat readiness!
Kage from other villages also became alert, most of them having heard the familiar voice instantly recognizing who it belonged to!
"Akihara Kagura!"
"That's Akihara Kagura's voice!"
"When did that guy sneak in!"
"Watch out!"
Salamander Hanzo was the first to warn.
The elderly man was the first to notice the state of the ground, seeing something peculiar, he raised his voice to warn, "The shadows on the ground are unusual!"
The lighting in the conference room was bright.
This made the shadows on the ground extremely visible.
All the shadows in the entire conference room began to move rapidly, everyone anxiously watching, realizing this was the enemy's technique!
"Toad Flatness Shadow Manipulated Jutsu, huh?"
Jiraiya stared intensely at those converging shadows, recalling the jutsu he taught Akihara Kagura, yet he shook his head to himself, saying: "No, it's manipulating shadows more flexibly than the Toad Flatness Shadow Manipulated Jutsu, rather it resembles the Nara Clan's Secret Technique…"
The shadows continued moving!
These shadows kept converging, ultimately forming a pitch-black door above the Pentagonal Conference Room, a figure emerged from the shadows.
"Akihara Kagura!"
The Fourth Raikage gnashing his teeth, muttered the intruder's name!
Everyone present immediately went on alert, as the subject of this meeting was to deal with Akihara Kagura, they wouldn't consider the intruder a guest!
"Alert!"
Salamander Hanzo shouted sharply!
A group of Hidden Rain Ninja responsible for maintaining order immediately prepared for combat, even though they were likely the weakest party present!
Yet…
These Hidden Rain Ninja showed no fear!
"No need to be tense."
Akihara Kagura's body slowly descended to the ground, glancing calmly at everyone in attendance, as if unbothered by the host of vigilant enemies.
"It seems…"
"I might be a bit unaccustomed…"
Akihara Kagura extended his palm, gently brushing his hair: "I mostly stay in the Root; it's my first-time attending such a grand occasion, as the leader of the Root, it seems I'm indeed not fit for such occasions…"
"..."
The present ninja remained intensely vigilant!
Although Akihara Kagura's demeanor appeared relaxed and calm, almost as if joking, the ninja present did not easily believe he was merely joking!
"It feels somewhat unfamiliar…"
Akihara Kagura extended his foot, lightly tapping the ground: "I remember Jiraiya taught me, when palms are inconvenient, you can use your feet to perform hand seals, such a small technique is quite useful at times…"
Before he finished speaking, an Earth Flow Wall formed a stone platform beneath Akihara Kagura, enabling him to sit and look down upon everyone present.
The first thing Akihara Kagura did upon sitting on the platform, was to express gratitude towards his teacher: "Thank you, Jiraiya-sensei, for teaching me this little technique…"
"..."
All eyes shifted to Jiraiya.
"You…"
Jiraiya looked at his most powerful disciple, feeling incredibly complex, unsure of how to communicate with this disciple.
All along…
Jiraiya believed this disciple was quite amenable.
But now…
This disciple's temperament is resilient, more determined than anyone else's, otherwise, he couldn't have carried on the Uchiha's generational wishes, reaching this point today.
Anyone's persuasion…
Couldn't change Akihara Kagura's intentions.
"Even Lord Orochimaru is here…"
Akihara Kagura chuckled softly, bringing up an issue proactively: "This year, I didn't receive your birthday gift, did you forget?"
"Hehe… at that time I was imprisoned by you in the Root…"
Orochimaru chuckled lightly, remarkably chatting with Akihara Kagura: "The most important thing about a birthday gift is surprise, all my actions cannot escape your notice, there's no way to surprise you, why waste time preparing?"
"What you said makes sense."
Akihara Kagura pondered for a moment, earnestly nodding: "You're right, regarding this year's birthday gift, I forgive you…"
"Why talk so much nonsense!"
The Fourth Raikage, impatient by nature, had no patience for small talk with Akihara Kagura here, his body instantly entered Lighting Release Chakra Mode: "Since you've walked right in, let's settle you here!"
"Raikage-sama!"
Tsunade hurriedly tried to speak up to stop him from acting impulsively!
Yet the Fourth Raikage's speed was extremely fast, he directly stood on the conference room table, shattering the table with one foot, lunging towards Akihara Kagura aloft!
"Hokage-sama, the opportunity is rare!"
The Third Tsuchikage Onoki clasped his palms, deeply reminding Tsunade: "Now the Five Kage are here, gathering the Five Kage's power, it wouldn't be impossible to kill Akihara Kagura right here!"
"Indeed!"
The Fifth Kazekage Gaara nodded.
Even the Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei agreed with the Tsuchikage's proposal!
