"Extracted?" Hiruzen sighed.
Naruto said, "Those damn bastards, how hateful..."
Naruto and Gaara in this world, didn't have such a deep bond. After all, Naruto was doing quite well. At most, he was just envious that Gaara could become the Kazekage, but they were both Jinchuriki after all.
Seeing the Tailed Beast extracted from Gaara's body, he felt a sense of empathy.
"However, Sunagakure seems to have a very special jutsu." Sakumo suddenly lowered his voice and spoke softly.
"Chiyo might have been cursed too much by Sasori. After that guy was taken away, she made a decision: to revive the Fifth Kazekage."
"Oh?"
Hiruzen was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this. The extraction of One Tail meant Gaara's death. And what Sakumo said first was revival.
"Sunagakure possesses such a jutsu?"
"Perhaps. It's Chiyo, after all, she's not simple." Takemi naturally knew what they were talking about. He smiled and said.
"Something very interesting, it seems we need to properly understand Sunagakure."
"Indeed..."
Hiruzen nodded, then spoke seriously, "Don't mention this matter to anyone. This will be our most important secret, understood?"
"Yes!"
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto's expressions immediately became serious, and Sakumo also nodded. His professionalism was beyond doubt.
"I never expected such a thing."
After Kakashi and the others left, Hiruzen pulled Takemi, who was also about to leave, and said with some emotion.
"However, we need to think carefully about this matter. Even if we obtain it, we cannot..."
"I know."
Takemi nodded. 'Give a grain of rice, be grateful. Give a bushel of rice, be resentful.' Some taboos cannot be easily broken.
"That's good."
Hiruzen smiled. When Takemi was serious, he was extremely reliable.
"Putting that aside, the Kage Summit is in less than half a month. Who are you planning to bring as your Kage guard this time?"
Time always passes quickly. Unknowingly, there was less than half a month until the opening of the Kage Summit.
The venue and everything else had been decided, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire also obediently opened his purse for the arrangements. Otherwise, Tobirama might have to go talk to him.
As Konoha's 'Kage Representative' for this event, especially as the host, Takemi naturally had to make it formal.
"Kage guard, huh..."
Takemi thought for a moment, then spoke, "Sasuke and Naruto will do. Those two are enough to handle many things."
"Not bad, but let me give you a suggestion." Hiruzen was not surprised, then said with a smile.
"Bring Ino–Shika–Chō too. They might not be able to help in combat, but they can do a lot in other areas."
"Ino and them, huh? Alright."
Takemi smiled, then thought for a moment and continued, "Also, let Kakashi-sensei bring his former teammate Rin. This will help her adapt better to the present."
Hiruzen might be considering the families behind those three, but Takemi didn't need to think that much.
As for Rin, that was purely for a change of scenery. And to see if she could meet Obito...
"Are you still playing Ninja games here? Don't you have a way to revive someone if you really want to?"
However, as he was preparing for the Kage Summit, Kaguya, who was inside him, became a bit displeased.
"Also, didn't you say there were more Ōtsutsuki coming? But why haven't they appeared yet, and why aren't you making any preparations?"
"Their non-appearance might be related to my previous battles with Isshiki and Urashiki." Takemi said unhurriedly after leaving the Hokage Office.
"Besides, how do you know I haven't made preparations?"
"Then what exactly do you plan to do?" Kaguya frowned and spoke coldly.
"It's not just one person coming, and the Karma of Isshiki and Urashiki are both present. Don't worry, I have my arrangements."
Takemi shook his head. He knew the people coming this time were definitely Momoshiki and Kinshiki. And he basically understood the situation of these two.
If it were Momoshiki who had experienced a beatdown and possessed Boruto, it might be a bit troublesome.
After all, at that time, he had been beaten silly and learned the Ninja World's combat techniques from Boruto.
But now...
"Besides, I can 'see' their every move. There won't be any problems." Takemi smiled, his eyes seeming to hold a hint of anticipation.
"Speaking of which, I really hope those two guys also show up, because that way..."
"I can better test my Path to Godhood!"
"?"
...
"Tch, he knows nothing."
Casually flicking away the corpse of a ninja in his hand, Momoshiki disgustedly shook his hand. As if to him, touching such an inferior race was an insult.
Kinshiki stood silently to the side, also analyzing the information in his mind.
"Momoshiki-sama, there's no information about Isshiki-sama or Kaguya, and no information about that mysterious Ōtsutsuki either, but there are stories about something called the Sage of Six Paths."
"Just a boring fellow."
Momoshiki snorted lightly, not taking it to heart at all.
After all, they had destroyed countless planets and eliminated countless beings who claimed to be gods or sages.
In the end, they were nothing more than inferior beings who could at most control natural energy.
"The only somewhat interesting thing is that the Ten-Tails has been disassembled, and this world also has Chakra."
"Indeed, I never thought these inferior beings could master the use of Chakra." Kinshiki nodded.
He then thought for a moment and continued, "Momoshiki-sama, those Tailed Beasts are in the hands of the 'Ninja Villages' in this world, and more information might need to be obtained through the Ninja Villages."
"Indeed."
Momoshiki nodded. He thought for a moment before speaking, "The leaders of those Ninja Villages seem to be called Kage, and a summit is about to be held soon."
"Momoshiki-sama, you mean..."
Kinshiki seemed to understand Momoshiki's idea, but he still asked, "Rather than going to those Ninja Villages to find them..."
Momoshiki said with a smile, his gaze looking into the distance. "Why not go directly to that summit and capture their leaders? That can save us a lot of trouble..."
