"Banara, I have good news for you."

After finishing a whole bowl of mushroom rice, Hashirama, who was finally full, grabbed the wine flask and took a big gulp. His cheeks were burning red and his body was shaking with excitement.

"It's finally decided. The Five Kage Talks will be held one month after the Chunin Exam!"

Banara's hand holding the wine glass trembled. He raised his head and looked into Hashirama's eyes, but found that Hashirama's eyes were actually filled with tears. He was about to laugh at this crying fool, but all the pain and unbearableness of the past flashed before his eyes.

Fighting desperately on the battlefield, enduring endless hunger and contempt, and constantly parting with close friends and relatives until numbness, now think about it, it was only nine years ago.

"Our dream is finally coming true!"

Looking at the silly Hashirama crying and his tears and snot all over the floor, Madara sneered, but found that his vision was also a little blurred. He raised the wine pot, and Hashirama immediately understood. The two wine pots touched each other in mid-air, making a crisp sound.

The two of them took a deep sip, and a burst of spicy taste fell into their stomachs along their throats, and their stomachs also burned warmly. The alcohol made them drunk. The two men who had been close friends since their youth burst into laughter in the blink of an eye, and laughed happily and foolishly. The devilish laughter made people's brains hurt.

"Don't go home until you are drunk!"

Looking at Madara and Hashirama who made a fool of themselves, the shocked Uchiha Fire Core sat stiffly in place, not daring to make a sound, for fear that he would be killed by Madara who had sobered up.

Where did his domineering, arrogant and arrogant cousin go? Who is this idiot who makes people's brains hurt?

As expected, Hashirama Senju has the ability to make people stupid!

"Has Kirigakure agreed?"

Kamizuki's cheeks bulged. She chewed twice and swallowed the strawberry daifuku in her mouth with difficulty. She asked the question in her heart directly. It can be said that she is very bad at reading the atmosphere.

Before the Chunin Exam, Sand Village and Cloud Village had already agreed to hold the Five Kage Talks in Konoha. Iwagakure was ambiguous, and Kirigakure had no attitude.

Now that Hashirama said that the Five Kage Talks were finally decided, it was obvious that the two stubborn villages finally gave in.

The reaction of Iwagakure was not what Kagamizuki expected. The group of Iwagakure ninjas who looked honest were actually very smart, but the Kirigakure ninjas who had always been very stubborn were also so sensible, which surprised her a little.

But Shen Yue thought about it again, that's right, given the overwhelming strength she showed in the Chunin Exam, only people with broken brains would want to go against Konoha. Although the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village has a problem with his brain, he still respects a giant like Konoha because he believes in the supremacy of the strong.

Sure enough, it is still necessary to show strength!

Hashirama nodded and added another sentence.

"After the Chunin Exam, until the Five Kage Talks, the candidates and envoys from the four villages will stay in the village this month."

Shen Yue thought about it for a while, those people are the elite of each village, almost all of them are the combination of the second in command and the next generation of elites in the village. They stayed in Konoha as both envoys and hostages. The four major ninja villages can be said to be very sincere.

"Hashirama, how long do you think this peace can last?"

Unlike Hashirama's expression full of joy and hope, as the intoxicating alcohol gradually faded, the joy on Madara's face gradually faded, replaced by a strong sense of worry and coldness.

Perhaps it was Uchiha Madara's innate sharpness and intuition that made him instinctively discover the fragility of this peace. Unlike Hashirama who was full of expectations for the future, Madara still couldn't believe that the peace he hoped for would really come.

"To be honest, I don't know..."

Faced with his best friend's question, Hashirama's smile froze instantly, and shattered on his face. After a while, he murmured uncertainly:

"But I believe that one day..."

"When will that day be?"

Such a vague answer was not what Uchiha Madara wanted at all. He slammed the wine jug in his hand on the table, scaring Hashirama and Kanokoshi to death, and even Kurama was no exception. Seeing that Madara, the evil star, suddenly went crazy again, the frightened little fox simply huddled up and got into Shenyue's arms and refused to come out again.

Looking at Madara's red eyes, Shenyue sighed. This person is always like this, always wanting to solve everything once and for all, and wanting to shoulder everything alone.

However, human power is limited, even if he is Uchiha Madara.

"Eternal peace sounds difficult."

Shen Yue touched Jiu Lama's soft fur, calmly interrupting the increasingly cold and suffocating atmosphere, and greetedThe adults looked at her in surprise and wonder, and she spoke her mind frankly:

"But even the shortest peace is far better than any war. If we can leave a peaceful era for future generations, and if each generation can maintain the peace brought by the predecessors, then perhaps eternal peace can also come true, right?"

It is of course impossible to make the ninja world completely peaceful and the ninjas united at the first Five Kage Talks.

But Shen Yue wanted to use this as a starting point to tightly bind the four major ninja villages under the banner of Konoha. If one Five Kage Talks could not be done, then hold more than one. If someone was not convinced, let the master go directly to their village.

At least, the Sand Village had taken the bait she threw, and now, they just had to wait for the fish to take the bait.

After all, the price she offered was exactly what they could not refuse.

.....

Late at night, after the interrogation, Momoka Senju finally left the Anbu. She took off her mask, and walked towards the fire core house with exhaustion.

After returning home, the first thing Momoka did was to stand in the bathroom and wash her hands with soap over and over again. Even before returning home, she had used carefully prepared potions in the Anbu to remove the blood. Even though her hands were wrinkled by water, the disgusting bloody smell seemed to never go away.

Three years ago, the Senju brothers did not agree with her joining the Anbu because they knew her very well. Momoka Senju did not like to kill people, let alone torture others.

But that kind of thing, someone has to do it.

After taking a shower, Taohua went into the kitchen and wanted to grab some cold rice balls to fill her stomach. Just as she was rummaging through the drawers, a faint light suddenly lit up, and Huohe, wearing pajamas, appeared at the kitchen door. After catching a glimpse of Taohua and the rice balls in her hands, he stood there angrily and cursed:

"You didn't have dinner again!"

Huohe walked into the kitchen cursing and handed her the dinner that had been hot on the stove. The cold rice balls in Taohua's hands were also confiscated and put into the pot to reheat. He kept cursing with his hands and mouth:

"Go home so late again! Will you die if you come back earlier?"

Unexpectedly, Taohua did not curse him immediately. The kitchen was unusually quiet, and there was not even the sound of eating. Huohe turned around and saw that Taohua had fallen asleep while sitting, her head shaking, and it looked like she was about to fall into the miso soup in front of her.

"...Wake up, at least eat something before you go to sleep."

Looking at Taohua's tired look, Huohe couldn't say anything anymore. He put the hot rice ball to her mouth and coaxed her to eat something with a gentle voice like coaxing a child.

There was another round of chaos. When Qianshou Taohua finally settled her stomach and went into Shenyue's bedroom, there was a faint dawn in the sky.

"Well, mom..."

When she heard the sound of the door opening, Shenyue opened her eyes, but she was still dazed and hadn't recovered. Seeing that her mother was back, she stretched out her arms and asked Taohua to hug her.

Taohua hugged Shenyue tightly and got into the warm quilt. Shenyue used her hands and feet to wrap around her and hugged her tightly like an octopus. Although Taohua had carefully cleaned and deodorized before, when the mother and daughter hugged each other so intimately, Shenyue still smelled a faint smell of blood from her arms.

The smell of blood...

Shen Yue's eyes, which were originally tightly closed, slightly opened. Since three years ago, Tao Hua has been lingering with the lingering smell of blood. Her originally bold and cheerful personality has become much more gloomy, and she even doesn't go to the Ninja School often.

Whenever Shen Yue asked Tao Hua what she was doing, she always avoided the question and just touched her head to tell her not to worry.

Really, how could she not worry?

"Mom, don't do things you don't like for me, okay?"

"..."

Tao Hua didn't say anything. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked Shen Yue's soft and fluffy hair. A kiss fell on Shen Yue's smooth forehead. Tao Hua gently patted her back and gently coaxed her to sleep.

"Go to sleep."

Soon, with the comfort of her mother, Shen Yue fell asleep again. Tao Hua hugged her and felt satisfied as if she had embraced the whole world.

....

In the following days, except for the many ridiculous incidents in the Hidden Cloud Village in order to release Sandei from prison, the village was calm.

The second Chunin Exam came as scheduled, and the exam venue was finally set in a circular training ground in Konoha Village.

On the day of the exam, in the Uchiha clan territory, Miki, Inari, Kagami and others rushed from the orphanage to the village.Qianxia, ​​who came over, noticed calmly that Shen Yue had not appeared. He probably overslept again.

"Sir Shen Yue is late again. Well, why am I not surprised at all?"

"If Sir Shen Yue is not late, is he still Sir Shen Yue?"

The group rushed to the Fire Core Mansion. Regarding Shen Yue's lateness, they were calm, their black eyes were silent, and even their voices were as calm as water. It can be seen that this group of people have completely gotten used to it.

Jumping to the second floor with ease, dragging Shen Yue who was reluctant to get up from bed, the four of them rushed to the examination site in a hurry. But not long after the group left the clan, they suddenly heard a familiar voice:

"Don't follow me anymore!"

At the corner of the street, Qian Shou Long Shu, who was holding desserts and bouquets in his hands, had a distorted expression, and behind Long Shu, who had a stiff face, a strange woman in gorgeous clothes was trying to reach out and hug his arms, but he easily dodged it.

Shen Yue, who was still in a daze, suddenly became alert. She left the team and hid in the corner to eavesdrop. Sister Miqi and Chinatsu followed her and also focused on peeking at the movement over there.

"Are we not going to take the exam?"

Uchiha Jing's face suddenly tightened. He looked at Long Shu uneasily, and then looked at the guys squatting in the corner to listen to gossip, and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Shh, Jing brother, be quiet! We are not the first to go on stage!"

Shen Yue immediately signaled him to be quiet, but don't let these two people find out. What's the point of the Chunin Exam? Anyway, she will definitely win in the end. It's better to stay here and watch gossip!

Jing thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth. So a group of people huddled in the corner stealthily, peeking out secretly, peeking with two sharp eyes, and their ears were also tense, for fear of missing a word or missing a move.

"Lord Nagarjuna..."

At this time, the woman whose figure was covered by Nagarjuna finally revealed her true face. Her moving and beautiful face, coupled with her sad and resentful eyes, looked like an infatuated woman. Her "Lord Nagarjuna" was full of deep affection, which made people feel heartbroken.

Oh, what a wonderful and bloody drama!

Five furry little heads stacked together, concentrating on peeking at the gossip. Looking at the beautiful and noble face and gorgeous clothes of the woman, Shen Yue curiously whispered to her companions:

"Who is that woman? Do you know her?"

"No."

"I don't know her either."

At this moment, everyone shook their heads.

Shen Yue's burning gossip heart immediately prompted her to look up and down at the woman, grasping the details and making guesses. Although the woman's gorgeous clothes looked gorgeous, they were actually old and dirty upon closer inspection, but they were obviously not affordable for ordinary people.

Could it be... a fallen noble?

Shen Yue guessed correctly. If someone who knew about this was here, they would immediately recognize that this woman was the jewel in the crown of the Fire Country Daimyo and the Princess Aoi who was sent to Konoha as an envoy three years ago.

"I don't like you, please stop pestering me, Princess Aoi!"

Faced with Aoi's repeated pestering, Long Shu grabbed his hair irritably. He had said the words of rejection over and over again, but this person kept pestering him, like a dog-skin plaster, and he couldn't get rid of it.

If it were in the past, he might be moved by Aoi's infatuation, but now, he already has someone he likes.

Long Shu no longer wanted to pay attention to Aoi. He picked up the gift in his hand and wanted to rush to the bakery to give Taoxiang a surprise, but at the moment when Long Shu ignored Aoi and turned away, in a place where Long Shu couldn't see, the deep affection in Aoi's eyes faded away, replaced by deep hatred and murderous intent.
