That man... actually came to the Land of Iron?! To the site of the Five Kage Summit!!?
Realizing this,
Almost instinctively, the three quickly turned their heads and looked behind them!
They could be 99.9% sure!
They couldn't have misseen!
Those dignified and brilliant golden pupils belonged to none other than that Amegakure Shinobi named "Kyo"!
However,
After turning back, the three were once again stunned, dumbfounded.
Behind them, there was nothing but white snow.
Not to mention the black-clad, golden-eyed samurai who had just passed them, there wasn't even a footprint on the snow ahead.
Seeing this,
The three of them, Tsunade, pupils constricted, gasping.
This...
What kind of superb movement technique is this...!?
He was clearly walking in this direction...
Why did he suddenly disappear!
And disappearing silently like this, he even managed to achieve... walking on snow without leaving a trace...???
That's just ridiculous...
"Was... was it Genjutsu...?"
Naruto was the first to speak, looking at his teacher Kakashi, asking somewhat bewilderedly.
And hearing this,
Tsunade also looked towards Kakashi.
Undoubtedly, possessing the Sharingan, Kakashi's proficiency in Genjutsu was naturally higher than theirs.
But at this moment,
After hearing Naruto's question,
Kakashi fell silent, then seriously shook his head and said:
"No."
"I can't sense any Chakra Interference."
"Moreover, being able to instantly cast a group Genjutsu that confuses reality and illusion like this... I've never encountered it."
"If this really was a Genjutsu caused by him, then I can only say—"
"This has already exceeded my understanding of 'Genjutsu'."
As Kakashi's words fell,
Naruto beside him looked even more confused, and then continued looking around, trying to find the figure that had just passed by.
However,
Tsunade fell into thought.
In fact,
Unlike Kakashi and Naruto, Tsunade did not get to know this Kyo during the Chunin Exams.
But rather... in Tanzaku Town.
Before Jiraiya and Naruto came to find her, this golden-eyed youth from Amegakure had appeared...
And it was also during that encounter,
He displayed extremely powerful strength, completely overwhelming Tsunade in her normal state.
Even making Tsunade want to unseal her Yin Seal...
A few years later,
In a conversation with Jiraiya,
She suddenly learned,
That back then, during the Chunin Exams in Konoha, this golden-eyed Amegakure Shinobi had come to Konoha as an Amegakure teacher, leading three students.
Only then did she connect everything.
However,
She had never imagined,
That here at the Five Kage Summit site in the Land of Iron, he had also appeared.
It's completely unexpected.
After a long silence,
Tsunade slowly exhaled, calmed her mind again, then raised her eyes to look at Kakashi and Naruto beside her, and said in a low voice:
"Let's go."
"He probably isn't our enemy, no need to be too wary."
"Let's go meet the Raikage and Tsuchikage inside first."
As she spoke,
Tsunade turned and continued walking towards the tea room ahead, looking calm and composed.
And Kakashi and Naruto, after exchanging a glance, nodded to her and then followed.
After all, the two of them had come here as "Hokage guards", so they naturally had to do their duty as guards.
As for Tsunade's words, they naturally understood.
Before leaving Konoha this time,
Jiraiya had explained to them the relevant intelligence about Amegakure and the Akatsuki, naturally including this mysterious Kyo.
Although they didn't know the real reason Kyo came here,
It's fine as long as he wasn't hostile.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Just as the three of them entered the tea room,
In a distant mountain range, a black-clad Kyo stood on a cliff, overlooking the scenery, a faint smile on his face.
And in his mind, at this moment, the system's familiar notification sound timely appeared.
[Ding! Congratulations, host!]
[You have successfully arrived at the key location, [Land of Iron · Five Kage Summit Site]. The main mission has been successfully triggered!]
[Participate in the major event: [The Fourth Shinobi World War], incomplete, reward unknown!]
Hearing this long-awaited notification, a smile gradually appeared in Kyo's eyes.
That's right.
The reason he came here was naturally to trigger this most crucial main mission—
The Fourth Shinobi War.
As is well known, in the original work,
This Five Kage Summit was forcibly interrupted by the intrusion of Obito and Sasuke.
And subsequently, Obito directly announced the commencement of the "Fourth Shinobi World War" to the Five Kage.
If nothing unexpected happens,
This time,
This famous scene should also reappear.
However,
In their camp, a crucial character would be added—
Edo Tenseid Madara.
This man,
Even without fully reviving, was undoubtedly one of the most top-tier existences in the entire Fourth Shinobi World War.
Without him, this war would inevitably be very fierce.
After all, although Sasuke had received a major version enhancement, possessing both Hashirama's cells and the Rinnegan,
Needless to say, having him directly confront the Five Kage now would definitely put him at a disadvantage.
But with Madara added, it would be different.
If the two generations of Indra's reincarnations cooperated in battle, defeating the Five Kage would instantly become simple.
Thus, deterrence would be formed.
Gazing at the distant summit site,
Kyo's gaze flickered.
Next,
He just needed to wait for the war to begin.
At this moment, unbeknownst to others,
On the snow-capped mountains along the border of the Land of Iron,
Four figures in black uniforms stood on another snow mountain, gazing in a certain direction.
It was the Infinite Tsukuyomi quartet—
Madara, Obito, Sasuke, and... the master actor, Black Zetsu.
Not long ago,
Zetsu had learned that Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto, had followed the Fifth Hokage to the Five Kage Summit site.
Therefore,
They abandoned their attack on Konoha and instead came directly to the Land of Iron.
Gazing at the distant capital of the Land of Iron,
Madara's gaze was indifferent, and he spoke indifferently without expression:
"Next... only the Nine-Tails remains."
"Once the Five Kage Summit starts, I will immediately make my move, directly suppressing the Five Kage. As for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... I'll leave him to you."
"Obito, Sasuke."
"...Understood."
Obito's red eyes flickered slightly as he replied in a low voice.
And beside him,
Sasuke's gaze was like a frozen lake, unmoved.
He knew,
The moment for the final battle had finally arrived.
The new world of absolute peace without conflict that Itachi had always hoped for...
Was about to arrive.
