Naruto: My Eye Technique is Infinite

Chapter 31 The 1nd Five-Shadow Meeting

After a week of hard work, Tianshui finally finished processing the pile of documents. He took a deep breath, and his heart was filled with a long-lost sense of relaxation. Now, he can finally enjoy a leisurely life, drinking tea, going to and from get off work, and occasionally leading a team to patrol the streets.

Although he has been back to Konoha Village for a week, Tensui has not been able to see Izuna. He guessed that Izuna's work in the Anbu might be quite busy. However, this is not the case. Izuna's main responsibility in the Anbu is to train newcomers, and there are not many tasks. Recently, the Uzushio Village in the Whirlpool Country formed an alliance with the Konoha Village and sent ninjas to Konoha in exchange for the scroll of sealing techniques, which made Izuna the link between the two villages. This task should have been completed by Tensui, because he is the younger brother of Naruto Madara, the head of the police department of Konoha Village, and his identity is closely related to Mito of Uzushio Village. But Tensui was out capturing the tailed beasts at the time, so the task fell on Izuna.

Uzushio Village was founded by the Uzumaki clan and is the home of Mito, the wife of Amamizu. As early as the beginning of Konoha, Amamizu and Mito had invited the Uzumaki clan to join Konoha, but were rejected. Now, Uzushio Village proposed an alliance, and Konoha Village would naturally not refuse.

After sitting in the office for a week, Tianshui couldn't sit still anymore and decided to take a team of clansmen to patrol the streets. When the villagers on the street saw the Uchiha clan from the police department, they avoided them with disgust in their eyes. Tianshui asked casually, "Why are the villagers afraid of the police department?"

The Uchiha clan member standing by looked embarrassed, thinking to himself: Is this even necessary? Who promoted the prank in the whole village in the first place? But he replied: "Maybe the clan members were too tough in enforcing the law."

Tianshui was thoughtful, thinking about how to improve the laws of Konoha Village and consider absorbing other families and civilian ninjas to avoid the police department's dominance. If the Uchiha clan continues like this, it is likely to follow the old path of the original work, being hated by the whole village and even exterminated.

"Tianshui, are you skipping work again?" Banjian appeared, interrupting his thoughts.

"Who skipped work? I was patrolling the streets." Tianshui forced an excuse.

Banjian said helplessly: "You always have an excuse."

Tianshui teased, "Didn't you become a guard for the daimyo? Why were you fired?"

Itama replied with a little excitement: "The mission of escorting the Daimyo has been completed. I have brought back an important message for the Hokage."

Tianshui arranged for the police department to continue patrolling the streets, and went to the Hokage Building with Itama. The two saw Madara working hard at his desk.

"Tianshui, how dare you appear in front of me." Ban Yu said angrily.

"It's been a week and you haven't forgotten it yet." Tianshui complained.

"Humph." Madara responded arrogantly.

Itama reported: "The escort mission was successfully completed, and the Daimyo returned safely to the Land of Fire. During this Daimyo meeting, the development of the ninja village was mentioned, and a face-to-face meeting between the Kages of each village is required."

Tianshui was thinking to himself: The Five Kage Summit is about to begin, and Madara will propose that other ninja villages submit to Konoha, which may trigger the first Ninja War.

"When and where will the talks be held?" Madara asked.

"The daimyo will formally notify you of the specific circumstances," Itama replied.

Tianshui suggested: "We should gather Izuna, Hashirama, and Tobirama to discuss this matter together."

Madara made reasonable arrangements: "Izuna is currently on a mission in Uzushio Village. We can discuss this when he returns."

After Itama left, Amamiya was about to leave as well, but was stopped by Madara.

Madara closed the office door and questioned, "Does a Five Kage meeting require a meeting of Konoha's top leaders?"

Tianshui asked back: "How do you plan to talk?"

Madara replied as a matter of course: "Let them submit to Konoha."

Tianshui covered his head and said: "This will only lead to war. Konoha should act as a mediator to prevent war, and over time, naturally become a leader."

Madara thought about what Amamizu said and began to reflect on his actions.

When Tianshui returned to the police department, he remembered that he had forgotten to tell Madara about improving Konoha's laws, and decided to bring it up next time they met.

That night, Itama told Hashirama and Tobirama about the Five Kage meeting. Hashirama wanted to argue, but was stopped by Tobirama.

"We'll discuss this after Izuna comes back," Tobirama said.

Hashirama agreed, and Tobirama analyzed, "The four major ninja villages may join forces to put pressure on Konoha, and Madara may go to war with them."

Hashirama said solemnly: "I will serve as an escort and stop Madara."

Tobirama retorted, "You and Madara are extremes, not the best candidates."

The topic came to nothing.

"Izuna, from now on our two families will be allies. This scroll contains the sealing technique of our Uzumaki clan. Take it back and give it to the Hokage. When you meet Mito, tell her that Uzushio Village will always be her home and ask her to come back when she is free. Also tell Amami that if anyone dares to bully Mito, Uzushio Village will definitely use all its strength to attack Konoha." The head of Uzushio Village said solemnly.

"I will definitely convey your message." Izuna promised.

The Kage of Uzushio Village took Uzumaki Suzuna and his subordinates on their journey home. The journey was smooth, and they did not encounter any bandits or stray ninjas, and they arrived at Konoha Village safely.

Uzumaki Suzuna seemed a little depressed because it was her first time away from home, and she often hid in an empty corner and cried.

After Izuna returned to Konoha Village, she was immediately notified to go to the conference room for a meeting.

When he arrived at the Hokage's office, he found that Hokage Madara, Police Department Chief Amamiya, Ninja School Principal Hashirama, Konoha Hospital Director Tobirama, and Mission Department Chief Itama were all there, but he, the Anbu Chief, was missing.

"Izuna, you're here, please sit down first." said Hokage Madara.

"Is the alliance between Konoha Village and Uzushio Village going smoothly?" asked Hokage Madara.

"Everything went well. This is the sealing scroll of the Uzushio Village." Izuna said, handing the sealing scroll to Naruto Madara.

How should we arrange for the arrival of Uzushio Village's new member, Uzumaki Suzuna? Izuna asked.

"If her age is right, you might as well let her join a ninja school." Hokage Madara suggested.

"The leader of Uzushio Village also mentioned that he hoped Mito could return to her hometown and warned that if Tianshui treated Mito unfairly, the entire village would stand up and seek justice for her." Izuna conveyed this message seriously.

After hearing this, Tianshui's face suddenly darkened.

Hashirama couldn't help laughing, and then everyone except Amamiya couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that people still hold a grudge against you, Tianshui. Listen to what I said. I told Mito to go home and have a look, but I didn't ask you to go with him." Hashirama teased.

"Tianshui, wait until the Five Kage Summit is over and take Mito back to see us. Also, remember not to bully Mito again, otherwise if the people from Uzushio Village attack us, I will tie you up and hand you over to them as an apology." Hokage Madara also said with a smile.

"By the way, Tianshui, when do you plan to marry Mito?" Itama asked casually.

"Actually, we have had this plan for a long time, but there have been a lot of affairs in the village recently, so we will hold the wedding when we have some free time." Tianshui replied.

"Well, I'll be the master of ceremonies," Hashirama offered.

"Sorry, Hashirama, Tensui invited me to be the master of ceremonies a long time ago." Hokage Madara said with a hint of boasting.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. What do you think about this Five Kage Summit?" Hokage Madara brought the topic back on track.

"Since we are discussing the development of the ninja village, the issue of resources cannot be avoided," Tobirama analyzed.

"The Land of Fire has superior geographical conditions, rich minerals, and sufficient supplies, which will undoubtedly attract the covetousness of other ninja villages. They may even unite to put pressure on Konoha." Itama added.

"Not only that, the possibility of war is also inevitable. They consume their opponent's ninja resources through war and concentrate limited resources on elite ninjas, which not only ensures their own development but also hinders Konoha's progress. For them, this is undoubtedly a strategy of killing two birds with one stone." Tianshui further elaborated.

"What's going on?" Hashirama asked in confusion.

Tianshui explained: "Although the war was cruel, they used it to consume too many ninja resources and invested limited resources in the training of elite ninjas, which not only ensured their own development but also suppressed the growth of Konoha. This approach is obviously beneficial to them."

After hearing this, Hashirama slammed the table in anger and said, "How can this be! The village exists to protect ninjas and create a peaceful living environment for them, not to sacrifice those who need our protection for the sake of so-called development. This is completely putting the cart before the horse!"

"Brother, in their eyes, ninjas are nothing more than tools to achieve their goals. As long as the ninja village continues to develop, new tools can be cultivated at any time." Tobirama tried to comfort Hashirama.

"Then if we provide some resources at the Five Kage Summit to help them develop, can't we avoid this from happening?" Hashirama suggested with a hint of naivety.

"Hashirama, you are too naive. Once they have more resources, they will not use them for peaceful purposes, but will pursue more resources, which will eventually lead to war. The resources you initially allocated to them will only become a disaster." Hokage Madara accused sternly.

"Madara, how do you plan to respond? If you want to start a war to conquer other ninja villages by force, I will definitely stop you." Hashirama said firmly.

"Hashirama, your vision is too narrow. As the Hokage, I naturally have to have a longer-term vision. Starting a war to unify the ninja world is just one of the strategies, not the ultimate means." Hokage Madara calmly reprimanded Hashirama.

Tianshui listened to what the Hokage Madara said, and muttered to himself: Madara, who was shouting about unifying the ninja world a few days ago, is now using my words to scold Hashirama. His shamelessness is really admirable.

Faced with this sudden change, everyone except Tianshui who knew about it was shocked. Didn't Madara always advocate the unification of the ninja world and let other ninja villages submit to Konoha? His change was too sudden.

"What do you think, Lord Hokage?" Tobirama asked tentatively.

"First of all, Konoha must not be the initiator of a war. We must play the role of peacemaker between the various ninja villages and mediate their disputes fairly and impartially. As time goes by, Konoha will naturally become their leader." Hokage Madara answered confidently.

"What if they point their spearhead at Konoha?" Tobirama asked.

"Then Konoha needs to show its strength." Tianshui replied calmly.

"But what's the difference between this and conquering by force?" asked Banjian in confusion.

"It's different. The purpose of showing strength is to intimidate other ninja villages so that they dare not invade easily. It also buys time for the development of Konoha." Izuna added.

"It seems that this Five Kage Summit is a good opportunity to demonstrate our strength. Our lineup cannot appear too stingy." Itama nodded in agreement.

The topic turned to the selection of participants for the Five Kage Summit.

"The candidate who participates in the Five Kage Summit must not only have outstanding strength, but also possess certain strategic abilities and be able to provide advice to the Hokage." Tobirama made the request.

"As the Hokage, it is my duty to attend the Five Kage Summit. You can decide on the other candidates at your leisure." Hokage Madara stated.

"As the head of the Anbu, it is my responsibility to protect the Hokage, and I should be among the entourage." Izuna said without hesitation.

"Izuna, the job of the Anbu is not only to protect the Hokage, but also includes tasks such as collecting intelligence from other ninja villages and organizing and summarizing them. You stay in Konoha Village. Konoha Hospital has other medical ninjas who can treat the wounded, so there is no need for me to be there all the time. I can give advice to the Hokage, and I am the most suitable person to be his entourage." Tobirama retorted.

"There are teachers teaching in the ninja school. I have no other job except controlling the teaching progress. I should be among the entourage." Hashirama interrupted.

"Recently, the mission department has had a lot less missions due to the Five Kage Summit, so let me participate as an accompanying staff member." Itama suggested.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Tianshui, waiting for his speech.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't want to be an attendant, and if you all leave, who will protect Konoha Village?" Tianshui said helplessly.

"How about this, there are six of us in total. Except for me, the Hokage who must attend the Five Kage Summit, you can choose two people from the remaining five to attend with me, and the other three will stay to protect Konoha Village. Let's start drawing lots." Hokage Madara proposed a solution.

After everyone agreed, Naruto Madara wrote two "participate" and three "stay" notes, crumpled them into a ball and mixed them together, then let everyone draw lots.

Tianshui indifferently took out a piece of paper first. When he opened it, his face suddenly turned bitter. "Participate" was clearly written on it.

Everyone saw that Tianshui drew "Participate", and only one of the remaining four paper balls was "Participate", so the probability of drawing became one in four.

Everyone drew paper balls one after another, and in the end, Hashirama was lucky enough to draw the remaining "Participate" card. Those who didn't draw it could only sigh about their bad luck, but didn't say much.

Hokage Madara announced: Amamiya and Hashirama will accompany the Hokage to the Five Kage Summit as entourage; Izumi, Tobirama, and Itama will stay in Konoha Village to guard the house; at the same time, personnel will be drawn from various departments to temporarily form the Hokage Guard to participate in the Five Kage Summit together. After the talks, the Hokage Guard will be disbanded and its members will return to their original positions.

After the meeting, everyone left the meeting room and returned to their respective posts, and announced the decisions of the meeting. Of course, some of the content needed to be kept confidential, so it was not announced to the public.

First, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the five major countries: the Five Kage Summit was about to be held, and Uchiha Madara, the Hokage of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, was invited to attend. This news made the personnel of each department feel extremely honored, and everyone was in high spirits, as if they had already seen the arrival of this grand meeting.

Then, another piece of news came out: Hokage Madara decided to select elite personnel from various departments to temporarily form the Hokage Guard to participate in the Five Kage Talks. After the talks, the Hokage Guard will be disbanded and the members will return to their original positions. As soon as this news came out, personnel from various departments signed up enthusiastically, hoping to become a member of the Hokage Guard and win glory for the village.

Let’s not talk about how the various departments are busy selecting members of the Hokage Guard. Let’s just talk about how Amamiya returned home after announcing the content of the meeting in the Police Department and shared the news about Uzushio Village with his wife Mito.

Tianshui just entered the house and found that the house was quiet and Mito was not at home. When he was about to go out to find her, the door was suddenly pushed open and Mito came back with a red-haired girl.

"Tianshui, you're back. Let me introduce her to you. She is Uzumaki Suzuna. She will live in our house from now on." Mito said with the air of a hostess.

"Suzuna, this is Tensui. You should have heard about him from people in your clan. If someone bullies you in Konoha Village in the future, just go find him. He is the director of the police department and is specifically responsible for the village's public security issues." Mito said to Suzuna gently.

"Hello." Tianshui greeted warmly.

"Nice to meet you, thank you for your guidance." Uzumaki Suzuna responded obediently.
