Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

Chapter 169 The Truth Behind the Mask

The venue of the Five Kage Conference was solemn and dignified, with flags representing the five major ninja villages hanging on the walls. The sun shone in through the carved windows, casting patches of light and shadows on the ground.

Liuxia was wearing a white robe embroidered with flame patterns, her long black hair was casually tied behind her head, and her eyes were deep and steady.

"I never thought that we would be able to reunite at the Five Kage Tournament."

Yanagishita sat steadily in the position that belonged to the Hokage, his elbows casually resting on the table, his chin supported by his hands, he raised his head slightly, and his eyes slowly swept towards the other four old friends.

Huang Tu, Ai, Yagura, Rasa and Yanagishita himself, the few young men who took part in the Chunin Exam at that time have now become the pillars of their respective villages, and are able to represent their respective villages in the solemn Five Kage Summit.

"Long time no see." Yagura nodded to Yanagishita. The Master and the Mizukage each protected a tailed beast to a secret location in the Hidden Mist. They arranged for him to come before leaving because they had a friendship with Yanagishita.

Liuxia didn't expect that after not seeing Yagura for several years, he heard that he was married, but his height was still so handsome.

"Okay..." The other three were confused for a moment. They didn't expect that they would all stop talking at the same time in such tacit understanding.

"Long time no see, Huangtu, Luosha, and Ai." Liuxia smiled and took the initiative to take over the conversation, his tone was kind and gentle.

After several old friends signaled, Yanagi said to Sanquan: "General Sanquan, I'm sorry to trouble you for this Five Kage Summit."

"You are too polite, Fourth Hokage. Now that everyone is here, let's officially begin this Five Kage meeting!"

After Sanquan performed a standard salute to Yanagi and the others, he announced the official start of the Five Kage Council.

Sanquan had a solemn expression on his face, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He thought to himself, "I thought I would never have to hold such a troublesome event as the Five Kage Talks again in my lifetime.

Unexpectedly, after the last Five Kage Summit, the General of the Iron Country passed away in a hurry and designated himself as the new General of the Iron Country.

Just after he took office, the Hidden Cloud Village was attacked by the Akatsuki organization. The Third Raikage was defeated and seriously injured, the Eight-Tails was taken away, and the Five Kage Conference was convened again.

I hope the atmosphere will be better without the old veterans this time."

Liu Xia coughed lightly and spoke first: "Everyone, we are old friends, and you all know the purpose of this meeting, so I won't go into details."

Liuxia straightened his back, placed his hands naturally on the conference table, and exuded the majesty of a strong man.

Yanagishita acted like the boss of the ninja world, and the other villages had no objection to this. It was very clear to them what their own Kage meant by arranging them.

As long as Yanagishita doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to do too much, I will obey him. If he does too much...then I will have to obey him. If I can't defeat him, I can only rely on Konoha. Whether to immerse myself in the world of illusion or survive, everyone knows what to choose.

"I think the reason why Kumogakure was breached was because of the lack of unity!"

"In the ninja world, each of us is independent and cannot form a united front against Akatsuki in time in the face of the invasion of Akatsuki. So I propose to form a ninja alliance to take unified care of the tailed beasts."

"This...we need to think about this."

These people had no objection to forming an alliance, but the matter of the tailed beasts was a serious matter and they had no power to decide.

Yanagishita spread his hands and said in a serious tone: "Everyone, the threat of Akatsuki is imminent. Once Akatsuki continues to obtain the power of the tailed beasts, I am afraid that even I will be unable to defeat Uchiha Madara! Unity is strength, please think carefully."

----------------------------------

"Interview, Madara-sama. Today you are going to formally conquer one of the five great nations in the ninja world. Do you have any thoughts you would like to express?"

Liuxia put on the strange mask again, holding half a corn in his hand as a microphone. The strange patterns on the mask looked particularly eerie in the sunlight, and the smile on his face was wanton and arrogant.

"Boring, when will it start?" Uchiha Madara leaned against the tree, not even wanting to open his eyes, wondering in his heart: "Could it be that A Fei's mask has some hidden special effects?"

"We can start now. News has come from the main body that the major villages still don't understand the current situation."

That's about it, saying the most terrible things with the most smiles.

"Humph, we should have taken action a long time ago."

Uchiha Madara stood up slowly, his scarlet eyes destined today to be extraordinary!

Yanagishita chuckled, "I'll leave Ohnoki to you, Madara-sama, be gentle, don't beat him to death!"

Seeing Uchiha Madara nodded reluctantly, Liuxia didn't mind. Next, it was time for the action.

"Let's get started! Party time! Wood Release. The arrival of the tree world!!"

The earth began to tremble violently, as if a sleeping beast was about to wake up.

Then, countless thick tree roots emerged from the ground like giant pythons, intertwining and twisting with each other, growing at an astonishing speed. Huge tree trunks rose from the ground and soared into the sky. The dense branches and leaves instantly blocked out the sky, and the sunlight was cut into tiny spots of light that fell on the ground.

Those tree trunks seemed to have life, constantly twisting and stretching, and sharp thorns grew on the branches, as if they wanted to tear apart any life that dared to approach.

The outskirts of the Iwagakure Village were instantly submerged in this green ocean. The originally sturdy houses groaned in pain under the strong pressure of the giant trees. The walls cracked, the roofs collapsed, and bricks and rubble flew everywhere.

The panicked villagers opened their eyes wide, their faces filled with fear and despair.

Some opened their mouths but could not make a sound, while others hugged their children tightly and tried to find a safe corner.

The children were so scared that they cried loudly, with tears streaming down their dirty little faces.

Amidst this chaos, the ninjas of the Iwagakure Village quickly gathered.

"Enemy attack!! It's Akatsuki!!"

"Everyone, don't panic, prepare to meet the enemy!"

The ninjas used their own ninjutsu together, including earth escape and Wanli Earth Flow Wall, to erect solid earth walls in front of them, trying to block the invasion of the giant trees.

However, the power of the tree world's arrival was too strong, and the giant trees easily broke through the earth wall and continued to advance.

"Dust Release. Original World Separation Technique!!!"

A short but determined figure flew out of the Hidden Rock Village like lightning, and dazzling white light burst out from his hands instantly.

When this violent energy collided with the lush trees surrounding the Iwagakure Village, there was a loud "crackling" sound, and those thick trunks and dense branches and leaves were turned into powder in an instant.

The green that had covered the sky and sun disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed. The flying wood chips filled the air like a terrifying blizzard, making it almost impossible to see.

"It's Lord Tsuchikage!" the villagers shouted in surprise, and the spark of hope rekindled in their eyes.

"We are saved!" Cheers broke out from the crowd.

"Hurry, take this opportunity to evacuate to a safe place!" Ohnoki shouted loudly, his voice full of majesty and urgency.

"Ohnoki, it's been a long time since we last met. I never thought that you, who was so weak in the past, would become the shadow of a village now."

Floating in the air, Ohnoki squinted his eyes and looked at the person in the distance whom he would never forget.

"Uchiha Madara!"
