Naruto: Son of the Fourth Hokage

After a round of discussion, the Xuanyuan Crowd decided to continue observing and planning.

Anyway, the deposit had already been paid, and the client wasn't rushing them to deliver, so why should they, the contractor, be in a hurry? They could take their time.

If they really couldn't find an opportunity, they could take on some other work first. They couldn't put all their eggs in one basket, could they? Even if they couldn't complete this one job, the brothers still had to eat.

The reason Akatsuki wasn't pushing them to deliver was because they were also very busy.

After capturing a Jinchuriki, they needed to use the Phantom Dragon Nine Sealing Method to extract the Tailed Beast and seal it into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

This Phantom Dragon Nine Sealing Method sounded powerful, but in reality, it performed terribly.

It required nine Akatsuki members to perform the technique together, and it took three days and three nights to extract a single Tailed Beast.

In comparison, Fa Yi, the monk who attacked Gaara a couple of years ago, probably didn't even need a day to extract the One Tail and the Seven Tails simultaneously.

Of course, this might be because they needed to activate the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, so it was more difficult than ordinary methods.

In addition, even if you counted Konan, Tobi, and Zetsu, the current Akatsuki only had eight people, and Zetsu was mostly responsible for guarding during the others' techniques.

Therefore, it took them more than half a month just to extract the Two Tails, Four Tails, and Five Tails, so of course they couldn't bother urging the Xuanyuan Crowd.

Moreover, after sealing the Tailed Beasts, although three of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's nine eyes had opened, it seemed to show signs of 'indigestion'. According to Black Zetsu's analysis:

"This may be because the order of sealing the Tailed Beasts is incorrect. They should be sealed in order from the One Tail to the Nine Tails.

It is also possible that the Chakra attributes of the Tailed Beasts are different, and the various forces conflict with each other. Only by collecting all the Tailed Beasts can a balance be achieved."

As for the exact answer and basis, Black Zetsu didn't say, because he was just a cute Zetsu, the 'incarnation of Madara's will'. How would he know about the Sage of Six Paths?

However, the others couldn't come up with any other reasons, so Pain had no choice but to order the remaining Tailed Beasts to be captured as soon as possible. He himself also had to prepare to take action.

...

At this time, nearly a month had passed since the disappearance of the two Jinchuriki from Iwagakure.

During this period, Ōnoki constantly sent people to search, but he never found their whereabouts.

And such a big thing was about to be impossible to hide.

Finally, Ōnoki decided to initiate the Five Kage Summit on the grounds that he had detected the extremely dangerous organization 'Akatsuki' in the Shinobi World, and believed that the five major Shinobi Villages should join forces to eliminate them.

Ōnoki felt that if Akatsuki's goal was to harm Iwagakure, there should be further actions, but if the goal was only for the Tailed Beasts, then perhaps other villages would encounter the same problem.

For example, the attack on Sunagakure Village some time ago. Sunagakure and Konoha not only did not deliberately conceal it, but also hoped that other villages could pay attention to Akatsuki as soon as possible.

According to the information, it seemed that Deidara, that little bastard, did it. He didn't know if that guy had been beaten to death.

Therefore, Ōnoki believed that it was better to take the lead and strive to occupy the dominant position than to wait for other villages to take the initiative to unite.

While ensuring that the two Tailed Beasts could be recovered, he would try to reduce losses and strive for more benefits.

The reason why Ōnoki could get the title of Two Scales was because, as the Earth Shadow, he was good at weighing the pros and cons and could always make choices that conformed to the interests of the village.

The other high-level officials in the village firmly believed this and fully supported Ōnoki's decision.

"Then, immediately send a message to the four major Shinobi Villages of Konoha, Lightning, Water, and Wind, to convene the Five Kage Summit!"

"Yes!"

...

First to receive the letter was Minato: "The Five Kage Summit, regarding Akatsuki? Not bad."

Sooner or later, they would have to find a way to deal with them. Having a few more helpers to reduce the risk wouldn't be bad. At the same time, this kind of cooperation is also a good opportunity to strengthen exchanges with other villages.

Jiraiya and Tsunade also agreed with his approach, so Minato quickly replied, expressing his agreement.

Yagura of Kirigakure had more concerns. At this time, as the Three Tails Jinchuriki, going out would be playing right into the hands of Akatsuki.

"If there's a chance, of course, we must eradicate them completely. There's no reason to keep hiding. This old man is the Mizukage!"

"But your safety..." a high-level official said worriedly. Honestly, they felt that the restored Fourth Mizukage was pretty good in all aspects and really didn't want anything to happen to him.

Yagura said, "This old man has some confidence in his own strength. Just choose a few excellent guards. Besides, no one would be stupid enough to provoke the Five Kage during the Five Kage Summit, right?"

The high-level officials thought about it and agreed, nodding in agreement.

Gaara of Sunagakure Village had similar thoughts. As long as he was still around, Akatsuki might attack at any time. If they could unite with other villages to wipe them out, that would be great.

Kankuro and Temari also agreed to resolve this hidden danger as soon as possible. Anyone who wants to harm our little brother should be killed.

The only one who didn't immediately agree was the Raikage.

"That old geezer Ōnoki definitely has ulterior motives!" The Raikage, who had always disliked Iwagakure, slammed the letter on the table, directly expressing his opinion.

In fact, the fact that he didn't tear up the letter directly was already a result of extreme restraint, and as a result, the table was lucky enough to survive.

Mabui, as his secretary, had specifically investigated Ōnoki's information. He was a strongman who had lived from the era of war at the beginning of the establishment of the major Shinobi Villages until now.

Unlike the Third Hokage, who had a solid foundation left by his predecessors, Ōnoki, as the Third Earth Shadow, was the one who truly led Iwagakure from poverty and weakness to prosperity.

His age, experience, Ninjutsu, and achievements, in every aspect, were living legends in the Shinobi World.

Mabui believed that a person like this convening the Five Kage Summit at this time would not simply be to eliminate a mysterious mercenary organization.

"Raikage-sama, could it be that the Earth Shadow already knows about our loss of the Jinchuriki and is trying to test our reaction?"

Mabui didn't expect the Raikage to give any answers, but directly denied herself: "No, that's just the first layer of meaning at most. There should be something deeper."

"That's right, the Five Kage Summit, he will take this opportunity to convey the news of our loss of the Jinchuriki to other Shinobi Villages, so that the major Shinobi Villages will think that our strength has been greatly reduced, and then generate ideas that should not be there, and then profit from it!"

The Raikage opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Mabui immediately denied herself again: "No, no, that's not enough. That kind of old monster can't be guessed so easily by me. There should be a third layer.

Tailed Beasts, yes, Tailed Beasts!

Objectively speaking, the Two Tails can almost be regarded as an unowned object now, and it is difficult to guarantee that other Shinobi Villages will not want to take it for themselves.

And once it is obtained by people other than us, then the balance of the Tailed Beasts will be broken, and we, who have lost a Tailed Beast, will become the target of public criticism.

Maybe they will further develop the idea of ​​robbing the Eight Tails, and Ōnoki, the instigator, must have made a careful plan for this..."

"Mabui..." The Raikage called out, feeling that his secretary was a little alarmist.

But Mabui didn't seem to hear it, and continued to ask and answer herself, the more she said, the more she felt it made sense, and then cold sweat involuntarily oozed from her forehead:

"As expected of an old monster who has lived from the war years to the present, I just made a preliminary analysis based on the information, and found that this Five Kage Summit invitation has at least five layers of intention!"

Raikage: What the hell are you talking about?
