Confront Konoha!
Jigen looked at Nagato. "According to the latest intelligence I've received, Konoha's current fighting strength is terrifying!"
"Not only do they have the Sage of Six Paths, but also the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother. At the same time, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, have also appeared!"
"Adding Konoha's previous First Hokage and others, Konoha's current combat power is considerably terrifying."
"Indeed!" Nagato nodded. Konoha was truly extraordinary now.
Setting aside everything else, the mere existence of the Sage of Six Paths was enough to make all other villages unable to lift their heads.
Perhaps he would have revered the Sage of Six Paths before, but now Nagato didn't believe he was inferior to the so-called Sage of Six Paths.
"It's just the Sage of Six Paths, no need to pay too much attention. The ones truly worth关注 (guānzhù - paying attention to) are still just those two!"
Nagato looked towards Konoha, gazing at the sky there.
For Nagato, the most formidable people were still only Sasuke and Naruto.
Those two were truly powerful; the strength they possessed, perhaps even the Six Paths couldn't compare.
"Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, they are my true enemies!"
"As for the others, they are merely appetizers!"
He didn't even regard Kage-level powerhouses, or even Six Paths-level individuals, with much importance.
Jigen smiled. The current Nagato had not only grown much stronger, but his standards had also risen considerably.
However, this was precisely what he hoped to see. A cautious fellow would be much harder to deal with than an arrogant and conceited one.
So, the more Nagato behaved like this, the more Jigen felt at ease.
And as Jigen smiled, Nagato, with his back to him, also had a glint in his eyes.
'The Kage Summit, is it!'
A good opportunity to let the world see the power of 'Scientific Ninja Tools'!
At the same time, this world only needed one organization to dominate it.
That is Akatsuki!
The day before the Kage Summit began.
From Konoha's direction, Naruto and the others who had already set out, quietly left Konoha.
The returning First Hokage and Asura, as well as the Second Hokage and Third Hokage who had just arrived in this era.
The Sage of Six Paths, Hamura Ōtsutsuki, plus Sasuke and Naruto.
A total of eight people set off just like that.
In order not to attract attention, there were also no so-called guards.
What a joke, with such a group of people walking together, who would be so blind as to cause them trouble.
Even if someone did cause trouble, it probably wouldn't be Naruto and the others who should be worried, but rather those troublemakers.
Konoha was temporarily left in Shikamaru's care.
And not long after Naruto and the others left Konoha, many more family members arrived one after another.
Among them were quite a few troublesome individuals.
Shikamaru immediately felt a severe headache.
Meanwhile, on the way to the Land of Iron, the location of the summit.
The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, walked behind his older brother, Hashirama Senju, with his student, Hiruzen Sarutobi, beside him.
His gaze was fixed on Sasuke, who was next to Naruto.
"Tobirama, what are you doing? Staring at that kid with such eyes!"
Tobirama shook his head. "I never thought that in the end, someone from the Uchiha clan could become the Hokage's closest friend!"
Speaking of this, Hashirama paused for a moment. He looked to the other side; originally, there should have been two more people here.
One of them was Madara Uchiha, unfortunately!
That fellow Madara was stirring up trouble again. Couldn't he just be a little more peaceful!
This wasn't their era.
"Has your prejudice against the Uchiha still not been dispelled?"
Being told this by Hashirama, Tobirama's expression turned somewhat unsightly.
"The Uchiha will sooner or later bring disaster upon existence!"
At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths frowned. "What is the reason for you to reach this conclusion?"
Hearing this, Tobirama was taken aback. "What?"
"What reason led you to this conclusion?"
"Isn't it so? The Uchiha have always been a restless existence. The Uchiha will only bring disaster and curses!" Tobirama's cold gaze stared intently at the Sage of Six Paths.
However, the Sage of Six Paths smiled faintly. "So, because someone from the Uchiha clan once brought you disaster, you believe that no good people exist within the entire Uchiha clan!"
Speaking of this, the Sage of Six Paths gave him a deep look.
"Perhaps the truly restless ones are not the Uchiha, but... you!"
After saying that, the Sage of Six Paths walked away directly.
Leaving a pale-faced Tobirama. Previously, he and Hiruzen Sarutobi had also communicated with each other.
He learned that after his death, Konoha actually experienced a rebellion by the Uchiha clan, and the root cause was Danzō consistently treating the Uchiha as enemies.
This led to increasing dissatisfaction among the Uchiha, eventually erupting in rebellion.
And Konoha, having lost the Uchiha, suffered a great blow to its vitality.
It was even forced to sign a treaty with the Land of Lightning, handing over a member of the Hyuga clan to settle the matter.
When had Konoha ever suffered such humiliation?
However, Tobirama didn't think it was his fault. But today, the Sage of Six Paths' words suddenly gave Tobirama a feeling.
A new idea, if... if he hadn't instilled his views on the Uchiha into Danzō and Hiruzen.
Then, if they had dealt with the Uchiha problem better, would Konoha not have ended up in its later state?
At least they wouldn't have had to suffer so much humiliation.
At the same time, various tragedies would not have occurred.
Perhaps there were many ambitious people among the Uchiha, but these people could not represent the entirety of the Uchiha.
The Uchiha clan had also contributed a lot to Konoha; during the First Shinobi World War, their performance was also outstanding.
That was why the entire ninja world clearly knew how powerful Konoha's Uchiha were.
At this moment, Sasuke's voice suddenly came. "If you've really made up your mind, then do as you wish!"
Everyone looked towards Naruto and Sasuke.
The two had been discussing something earlier.
Naruto looked at Sasuke's expressionless face. "If merely offering the Tailed Beasts as a price can unite the Five Great Nations, then that would be the best possible situation."
"Tailed Beasts? Naruto, what are you going to do with the Tailed Beasts?"
Suddenly, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen, stepped forward and asked Naruto.
Naruto turned back to look at him. "I plan to return all the Tailed Beasts to their respective villages!"
Respective villages!
Tailed Beasts!
Return!
Back?
Hearing this, Hiruzen fell silent for a few seconds, then paused. "Are all the Tailed Beasts with you now?"
Hearing this, Naruto nodded. "That's right, from One-Tail to Nine-Tails, they are all within my body!"
Hiruzen was very surprised. He hadn't expected Naruto to simultaneously control the power of all nine Tailed Beasts; this was excellent.
At this moment, the Second Hokage's face quickly turned much gloomier.
Hadn't his older brother done something similar in the past?
It was utterly foolish. Why distribute the Tailed Beasts to various villages? If he hadn't strongly opposed it back then, perhaps even the Nine-Tails would have been taken by other villages.
And now, this current Hokage was actually going to do such a foolish thing...
