When Jiraiya went to visit Nagato again, Nagato had already stopped breathing. Jiraiya carefully examined Nagato's body from top to bottom, but he didn't find any injuries. The only strange thing was probably the two lines of blood flowing from Nagato's empty eye sockets that were wrapped in gauze. Jiraiya didn't know what kind of mood made Nagato shed such tears, but Nagato's life was already gone, and everything became meaningless.
Whether Nagato chose to commit suicide because he hated his own powerlessness, or he died for all other reasons, Jiraiya didn't want to pursue it. All Jiraiya could feel was the tiredness from the bottom of his heart, and he just wanted to throw away everything and live a peaceful life.
After cremating Nagato's body, Jiraiya buried the urn containing Nagato's ashes under a tree in his courtyard. Every day, he sat in the courtyard and drank and chatted with Tsunade, living a leisurely life.
However, as the Fourth Hokage of Wood leaf, Watergate didn't live as carefree as Jiraiya. After the news of his victory over the leader of Akatsuki spread throughout the Ninja World, although Watergate gained a huge reputation that he had never had before, he also faced a huge pressure as Nangong Zhe and Mashiro expected.
In just the last three days, Konoha has received nearly a hundred cases of harassment from large and small forces. As a ninja who performs various tasks in the Ninja World, once they encounter a deliberate difficulty, it will lead to a sharp increase in the pressure of performing tasks. A ninja who was about to carry out a mission to eliminate bandits suddenly found that the bandits hired ninjas who were about the same level as them at a low price to guard them. A ninja who was about to carry out an assassination mission, before he took action, his assassination target was notified in advance and recruited a large group of ninjas and guards to protect his safety.
Such deliberate difficulties led to a significant decrease in Konoha's mission completion rate. The decrease in the completion rate of the Quest also caused a chain reaction. Many people who intended to issue the Quest also temporarily changed the Ninja Village they commissioned. Now Wood leaf indeed has a reputation that other forces can't match, but this reputation also led to the hostility of other forces. Watergate is indeed strong, Wood leaf's high-level power is indeed strong, but it doesn't mean that the basic ninjas of Wood leaf village are also strong.
Wood leaf now, although nothing can be seen on the surface, there are already some signs of resentment. And under the investigation of the Anbu under Minato's direct command, Minato also learned that someone is adding fuel to the fire to replace the Hokage. Although such a person behind the scenes hasn't appeared yet, from such a manipulation of public opinion and heart, such a person is definitely not easy.
Crash …
Watergate looked at the report in his hand, to his heart, to his heart to's to bottom, his heart's heart to heart......... under his's influence was thrown to the floor....... to the report to the report to to the floor..
. "I'm still too impatient …"
Watergate stretched out his hand and pressed on his slightly swollen temple. His words were full of inexplicable emotions, which were mixed with anger, regret, and more irritability.
"After destroying Six Paths of Pain, I only thought that my fame would spread all over the Ninja World, and my reputation in Wood leaf would rise greatly. But I didn't think about how other forces would react in the face of such a threat. Miscalculation! No plan! "
"Jiraiya-sensei also informed me of Nagato's strange death, which undoubtedly also created a gap between Jiraiya-sensei and me. For a while, there was a trace of betrayal around me. Sure enough, it's a good method! "
Just when Watergate was still immersed in his own distress, Watergate's office door was knocked. As the leader of a Ninja Village, he must not show any negative emotions in front of his subordinates. Only in this way can he show his majesty.
After clearing his throat slightly and adjusting his expression and sitting posture, Watergate said to the door:
"Come in!"
Hearing Watergate's order, the office door was slowly opened. As the think tank of Wood leaf, Shikaku Nara, and the two representatives of the Elders of Kiba, Mito Menitis and Zhuan Xiao Chun, walked in together. After respectfully saluting Watergate, Shikaku Nara took the lead and said:
"Hokage-sama, the Mist, the Cloud, the Sand, and the Rock have jointly issued a notice to Wood leaf village to start the Five Kage Summit."
With that said, Shikaku Nara took out a scroll with the seal of the four major Ninja Villages from his arms, stepped forward a few steps, and slowly placed the scroll in front of Watergate. Watergate didn't open the scroll carefully. Instead, he looked at Zhuan Xiao Chun, Mito Menitis, and Shikaku Nara and said:
"This scroll must be a lot of useless words. The three of you should have already read the content. Why don't the three of you explain the information and your thoughts to me?"
After hearing Watergate's words, Shikaku Nara, Zhuan Xiao Chun, and Mito Menitis looked at each other, and the older Mito Menitis stepped forward and answered Watergate's question:
"Reporting to Hokage-sama, the main content of this scroll is that the Akatsuki sent our Wood leaf Ninja Uchiha Sasuke to rob the Cloud Village's Hachibi Column Force, who is the younger brother of the Cloud Village's Fourth Raikage Ai. This caused the Fourth Raikage to be furious, and he wants to gather the Kage of the five major Ninja Villages to discuss matters related to dealing with the Akatsuki."
Uchiha Sasuke? As the Fourth Hokage of Wood leaf, Watergate naturally knew Sasuke's identity and experience. He didn't expect that Uchiha Sasuke, who has been silent in the Ninja World for so long, suddenly made such a big news! After a little sigh, Watergate was very keenly aware of the abnormality.
"The temper of Yondaime Raikage is well known in the shinobi world, such a hot-tempered person actually thought of summoning the five great shinobi villages to deal with the Akatsuki, it seems he was forced to a certain extent. But now Wood leaf itself is the target of public criticism, and if they are not careful, they will become the target of a trap. This Five Kage Conference is not only gathering people to deal with the Akatsuki, I think several of the Ninja Villages also have their own little ideas, right? "
