Shocked! I can't hide my tears!

The one-month period has arrived as promised.

The Five Kage Tournament is about to begin...

The five Kage all set out from the Hidden Village and headed to the arranged location, the Iron Kingdom, a neutral country.

However, an accident occurred in the Sand Village because their Kazekage had died and there was no one to choose the fifth Kazekage.

Of course, Gaara has the greatest potential, but he is still too young to take on important tasks.

The Land of Wind, the Hidden Sand Village——

"What should we do? The Five Kage Conference is approaching, but we still can't decide on the candidate for Kazekage." The elders began to discuss.

"Why don't you let Gaara try?" said an elder.

"No, Gaara is too young. Who would take Kage as a joke?" Someone came out to refute.

"but..."

"Let me try." Gaara stood up from his seat, and now everyone's eyes were on him.

"What a joke! How can we take such a thing lightly?" They all objected, even though Gaara would become the Kazekage in the future.

But now he is still too young to bear such a heavy responsibility.

"Nothing is impossible. I believe no one can do better than me." Gaara crossed his arms and stood proudly. At such a young age, he was full of dignity.

An elder's eyes narrowed, and he also stood up, looking at Gaara, and said in a deep voice: "Gaara, let me ask you, what is the Kazekage to you?"

Wind Shadow?

When mentioning the Kazekage, Gaara was silent for a moment. He thought of a lot of things. When he was young, his father attacked him with the purpose of whether he would go berserk and affect the village.

It seems that all decisions revolve around the village.

It seems that anything that threatens the village should be eradicated. Protecting homes, protecting companions, and protecting the village is the duty of the shadow.

When it comes to the village, he hates it. In the past, and even now, he still finds it hard to let go.

But..he thought of Uzumaki Naruto..

[I want to become Hokage and get the recognition of the villagers! ]

It was his smile that changed him, and it was his strong will that changed him...

Gradually, Gaara smiled softly, relieved, and said: "I want to become the Kazekage, and surpass all the previous Kazekage, and let everyone in the village recognize me!"

The former Shura seemed to have changed and seemed to be full of love.

They were stunned.

"In that case, then Gaara, from today on, you are the Kazekage, you are the fifth Kazekage of our Sand Village!"

It was an old man who spoke calmly.

Since the oldest elder had spoken, they didn't say much. They just looked at each other for a moment and nodded heavily.

Then it’s up to you. From today on, you are Fengying!

"Thank you for fulfilling my mission!"

Gaara looked out the window, where he saw the entire village.

"If you want to become the Hokage, then I will become the Kazekage. Then, we will have a drink together in the Kage way."

...........

Fire Country, Konoha Village——

Hokage's Office

"Ah? Do I have to go too? I don't want to go at all!" Uzumaki Naruto looked reluctant. Why should he go too?

What he hated most was seeing a group of adults negotiating there.

"If you want to become Hokage in the future, then this step is necessary. Go and see the world beforehand." Mito said solemnly.

"Alright," Uzumaki muttered reluctantly.

"Don't worry, Naruto." The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen said kindly.

"If he goes, then I'll go too," Sasuke said.

Sasuke and the others are no longer surprised.

There are quite a lot of people showing up in this Hokage group.

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uzumaki Mito, Nara Shikaku, Kakashi, Might Guy, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi...

Since Kakashi has gone, then of course Might Guy has to follow him, is there anything wrong with that?

Since Uchiha Sasuke has gone, Uchiha Itachi should naturally follow him, right?

This journey, 100,000... No... It's a long way...

Iron Kingdom

The venue chosen by the five empires for the conference was this place, a neutral country. The capital was quite prosperous.

The one who led the five great village shadows was Mifune of the Iron Country!

As the admiral of the Iron Country, Mifune's strength is unquestionable and is comparable to that of the five Kage.

.............

Five Kage Tournament

In the Land of Fire, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, flanked by Uzumaki Mito and Nara Shikaku, and a group of people behind him.

The Land of Lightning, the Fourth Raikage Ai, his secretary Samui, the people behind him, and Killer Bee.

The Land of Earth, the third Tsuchikage Ohnoki, Akagi and Kurotsuchi.

The Land of Water, the fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, and Ao.

Kingdom of Wind...

The fifth Kazekage, Gaara, with Kankuro and Temari beside him.

"!!!"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at the young man sitting in the Kazekage's seat with shock and surprise on his face.

Kazekage? Gaara! ?

When did Gaara become the Kazekage? He actually became the Kazekage?

The other four Kage looked at the young man in front of them and felt incredible. Before, he was still taking the Chunin Exam, but now he was on the same level as them.

"Gaara!?" Uzumaki Naruto shouted in surprise, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

Uzumaki Naruto was shocked. He was still just a Genin, but someone else had become a Kazekage. Why was the gap so huge?

Being stared at by these people, Uzumaki Naruto felt uncomfortable and hid slightly behind Uzumaki Mito.

The looks in these people's eyes are so scary, wow!

Compared to Uzumaki Naruto's panic, Gaara was much more natural. Perhaps it was his nature, except for the fluctuations in his eyes when he looked at Naruto, nothing else could be produced.

"He is Uzumaki Naruto...I finally meet him in person today. He's very thin." That was Kurotsuchi. Although he was of the same generation as Uzumaki Naruto, he was a little taller than the other.

"Oh, that's Uzumaki Naruto, the person you want to meet, Xiaoba, Bakayalu, Kuroyalu!" said Killer Bee.

............

"Then let the Five Kage Tournament begin!"

That was Mifune, looking at the five Kage in front of him and speaking in a deep voice.

【Ding! 】

However, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky, and then a small sky curtain appeared out of thin air inside the Five Kage Conference...

Looking at the small sky dome in front of them, everyone's expression changed slightly, but Uzumaki Naruto looked expectant.

【question:】

[Who is the real identity of the masked man? 】

When the problem appeared on the screen, everyone's faces suddenly changed and became heavy.

The masked man, that mysterious being, will his true identity finally be revealed today?
