Outside the Sunagakure camp.

The trio of Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, wearing the Akatsuki uniform with black background and red clouds, arrived at the entrance of the Sunagakure camp.

They looked at the Sunagakure ninjas who had already begun to evacuate, their brows slightly furrowed.

"So fast!"

It had only been a day since the Three Kage Summit, how could there be results so quickly.

Logically speaking, the retreat of Sunagakure was a good thing, which meant that this war might not break out, but inexplicably, the rapid end of the Three Kage Summit gave the Akatsuki members a bad feeling.

Perhaps an even greater war was about to break out.

Just as the three were puzzled, a beautiful figure appeared in front of them.

"You are the leader of Akatsuki?"

Yahiko composed himself, took a few steps forward, and said slowly.

"Yes, my name is Yahiko, and I am the leader of Akatsuki. These are my partners, Konan and Nagato!"

"I am Yōkai, a Jōnin of Sunagakure. Come with me, the Kazekage is waiting for you!"

Under Yōkai's lead and the curious gazes of the surrounding Sunagakure ninjas, the three slowly walked into the Sunagakure camp.

Along the way, the three were very vigilant, paying attention to their surroundings to prevent any traps.

Fortunately, they were safe and sound all the way.

This made Yahiko look at the cold Yōkai in front of him and ask courageously.

"Is Sunagakure about to retreat? Has the Three Kage Summit ended?"

Yōkai ignored them and simply said.

"You can ask the Kazekage when you see him!"

Soon, the three arrived at the camp tent where Rōsha was.

As soon as the three entered, they saw Rōsha, wearing the white Kazekage robe, sitting behind the table.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze slightly within the large tent.

Rōsha also didn't expect that the ones who came to see him this time would be the trio of Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato. They were really bold.

How should he put it, the first impression these three gave was youth.

Although they looked like adults, there was still a unique childishness in their expressions.

Especially Yahiko, whose clear eyes revealed a kind of naivety that was ignorant of the world.

He was somewhat similar to the future Uzumaki Naruto.

Konan, on the other hand, was indeed very beautiful, especially her eyes, which made people couldn't help but take a second look!

As for Nagato, his red long hair concealed the appearance of the Rinnegan, making it impossible for Rōsha to see.

While Rōsha was observing the three, the three were also looking at this Kazekage of Sunagakure.

Similarly, the first impression Rōsha gave the three was youth.

Although they had long known that this Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure was very young, the inherent impression of a Kage in their hearts still made them feel surprised when they first saw Rōsha.

In addition to youth, the three felt a mature and steady temperament from Rōsha.

Especially Yahiko!

He looked at Rōsha with some envy, because Rōsha at this time was the image Yahiko had in mind of what a leader should be, instead of being as silly as himself, not good at anything.

Unlike Yahiko, Konan and Nagato had a strange feeling.

They didn't know if it was an illusion, but the two always felt that the Kazekage in front of them seemed to know them.

The gaze that stayed on them had an indescribable strangeness.

Especially Nagato, he could feel that the moment Rōsha's gaze fell on him, it was staring at his eyes.

However, before the two could investigate, Rōsha spoke, breaking the silence in the camp tent.

"How old are you?"

The strange question stunned the three, and then they frowned slightly.

Yahiko walked out and asked.

"Kazekage, do you think we are children?"

Yōkai watched the conversation with great interest. She was interested in these three young people from Akatsuki, and even more curious as to why Rōsha, as the Kazekage, wanted to see these three young people.

"Aren't you?"

Rōsha asked back.

Yahiko subconsciously wanted to refute something, but Rōsha's next words made them slightly stunned.

"At your current age, it's indeed remarkable to be able to achieve what you have now."

Yahiko and his group were indeed very young. In terms of age, Yahiko and Nagato were the oldest, only fifteen years old, and Konan was a little younger at fourteen. In comparison, Rōsha was already an adult, and was already twenty-three years old this year.

The sudden praise made Yahiko a little at a loss. Then he thought about it, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly with a smile.

"Um, thank you for the praise!"

At this moment, Yōkai in the camp tent looked strangely at the silly Yahiko.

Is this guy really the leader of Akatsuki?

He looks like an idiot.

Konan, with her somewhat innocent little face, also showed a hint of embarrassment and tugged at Yahiko's sleeve.

Fortunately, Rōsha said very calmly.

"Speak, what do you, as the leader of Akatsuki, want to see me for? However, if it's about world peace, then don't say it, it's a waste of time..."

"Why?"

Yahiko was really similar to Naruto, without a trace of the steadiness of an Akatsuki leader. Hearing Rōsha's words, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Don't you like war so much? Even if you don't care about us small countries, don't you care about the lives of the ninjas in your own villages?"

Yahiko's excited appearance surprised Yōkai.

She originally thought that this Akatsuki was just a mercenary organization hanging up a false slogan of ninja peace to seek personal gain, but now it seems that these young people are really very interesting.

This made her even more curious about how Rōsha would answer this young man.

Rōsha's answer was very simple. He looked at the excited Yahiko in front of him and asked back.

"Kid, let me ask you, what do you think a ninja is?"

The sudden question stunned the trio of Yahiko, because the three were somewhat familiar with this sentence.

Once upon a time, they had also asked Teacher Jiraiya this question, but Teacher Jiraiya did not give them an answer, but instead asked them to find it themselves.

Now, four or five years have passed, and they still haven't found their own answer.

The sudden speechlessness made the atmosphere in the entire camp tent awkward. Yahiko might have his own ideas in his heart, but facing Rōsha's imposing pressure, he was somewhat hesitant for a while. This meant that his belief was not so firm.

"What, leader of Akatsuki, don't you have an answer in your heart?"

Seeing this, Rōsha asked back even more coldly, and his aura suddenly pressed up.

Fortunately, at this time, Konan, who was behind Yahiko, saw Yahiko's hesitation and took the initiative to stand up and ask back.

"Lord Kazekage, then what is your answer? What exactly is a ninja?"

Konan suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

Rōsha looked at the beautiful Konan with an appreciative look and said.

"Smart little girl."

Rōsha leaned back on the chair and made a very relaxed posture and said.

"My answer is very simple, that is, the so-called ninja is just a simple tool!"

"Tool! ?"

This answer not only stunned the trio of Yahiko, but even Yōkai was stunned.

They all didn't understand why Rōsha would say this answer.

Fortunately, Rōsha gave an explanation.

"That's right, the so-called ninjas are just war tools kept by the Daimyō of the various countries they belong to. You think it's us ninjas who like war, but the ones who really like war are not us, but the great powers behind us. So, if you want to persuade, it's useless to persuade us, you should go persuade those Daimyō..."
