To revive the Ten-Tails, it's not absolutely necessary to capture all the Tailed Beasts. In the original story, wasn't that the case? Because they couldn't capture the Nine-Tails and Gyuki, they used Gyuki's tentacles and the Gold and Silver brothers' Nine-Tails Chakra as substitutes.
Although its growth is relatively slow, the Ten-Tails can still be revived. This is Neji's biggest worry right now.
If there are substitutes for Nine-Tails Chakra, who knows if there are substitutes for the One-Tail and Two-Tail Chakras, and if that could awaken the Ten-Tails – all of this is unknown.
"Damn it, Obito, you really played me."
Seeing Neji looked a little nervous, Konan quietly reached out, took Neji's hand in hers, and gave a subtle smile.
Neji was taken aback and turned to look at Konan beside him. His heart felt warm, as if Konan was becoming gentler towards him.
Yes, this is a very good start.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
At this moment, there was another knock on the door. Shizune rushed in, glanced at the important figures around, and then said, "Tsunade-sama, ninjas from Kumogakure wish to see you."
"Kumogakure Ninja?" The Third Raikage and Neji said in unison.
Then, everyone looked at Neji. It was normal for the Raikage to be so excited, but why was he reacting so strongly?
"Ahem..." Neji coughed twice and stopped talking.
"Let them in," Tsunade said.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama." Shizune left immediately after getting permission.
Not long after, a beautiful woman with short blonde hair and a generous chest, accompanied by two unlucky individuals, walked in.
"Neji!"
Unexpectedly, Samui was the first to notice Neji upon entering. Everyone present was a powerful figure, yet she completely ignored them.
For a moment, everyone's faces darkened.
Of course, the most heartbroken and on the verge of tears was the Third Raikage. How could he explain this? He just wanted some peace.
"It really is you, Neji." Samui walked over quickly, her face slightly flushed.
She hadn't seen Neji in almost two years. Who knew how much she missed their neighbor who had spent nearly a year with them in Kumogakure.
"Uh... long time no see, Samui." Neji greeted her, as her excitement far exceeded his expectations.
Seeing Samui's undisguised expression, Konan frowned slightly and held Neji's hand even tighter, as if declaring her claim.
"Oh, is this your new girlfriend?" Samui asked, looking at Konan, who was holding Neji's hand, in a not-so-friendly tone, emphasizing the word 'new'.
What was with that terrifying gaze?
And what was this about a new girlfriend?
No matter how he answered, it would be wrong.
Neji maintained a calm and composed appearance, but his CPU was working at high speed, hoping to find a perfect answer.
"Captain, don't forget the main business," Omoi and Karui said in unison, their tone full of helplessness.
Samui immediately became alert and remembered her mission. She then noticed the other people around. Her face turned redder, and she quickly let go of Neji and went to Tsunade.
Neji secretly gave Omoi and Karui a thumbs-up in his heart: Well done.
However, the Third Raikage's face grew even more grim. He had been standing here for so long, and yet no one had noticed him?
Or did they not recognize him at all?
"Huff puff~ Huff puff puff~"
The Third Raikage looked up and saw the Second Mizukage and the First Hokage with their mouths pursed, trying desperately to hold back laughter without making a sound…
His already dark face seemed to turn even darker.
Samui respectfully handed the letter written by the Raikage to Tsunade, saying, "Hokage-sama, Raikage-sama invites you to a Five Kage Summit at the Land of Iron in five days. We hope you can attend."
A Five Kage Summit!
Everyone present was startled. The laughter subsided. The Five Kage Summit, which had only happened a few times in history, was about to be held again.
"What exactly happened?" the Third Raikage spoke, partly wanting to know what had befallen Kumogakure and partly wanting to assert his presence.
"This person looks so familiar, like I've seen them somewhere before," Samui said, staring intently at the Third Raikage, her mind filled with doubts.
"Hmph, you've finally remembered," the Third Raikage said, crossing his arms, his muscular physique trembling slightly with excitement.
To his surprise, Samui still didn't recognize him. However, she did tell them about the changes in Kumogakure, as it wasn't exactly a secret.
She explained that not long ago, the Fourth Raikage's brother, Killer Bee, and the Two-Tails, Yugito, had a battle with members of the Akatsuki organization at the Cloud Waterfall Gorge. By the time the Fourth Raikage rushed over after receiving the news, the gorge had been severely damaged. Only Yugito lay there, seriously injured, while the others were missing.
Later, Yugito recounted that a masked figure had, with just a few words, tricked Killer Bee into giving up Samehada, which Killer Bee had taken from Kisame. The masked figure then used the sword to put them in a tough fight.
Just as she was severely injured and her Chakra was being absorbed by the opponent, a vortex suddenly appeared and swallowed her. After that, she didn't know anything else.
"Is that so? It seems the jutsu I left on Yugito worked," Neji thought to himself.
As for Samehada, since it could betray Kisame without hesitation, it was not surprising that it would betray Killer Bee. After all, it only recognized delicious Chakra.
"You mean Killer Bee was captured by the Akatsuki organization!!" the Third Raikage said coldly, clearly enraged.
BOOM!
Lightning Release Chakra suddenly condensed around him, like a Lightning Release armor, incredibly bright. Blue lightning flickered, and violent Chakra erupted, stunning Samui and the two unlucky individuals.
"You, you, you are the Third Raikage-sama!!" Samui's beautiful eyes widened, and she immediately stood up, her expression one of utter astonishment, as if she had seen a ghost.
Yes, she finally remembered where she had seen him. This was the Third Raikage-sama! But how could he be alive?
"Heh, you finally see me," the Third Raikage couldn't help but say, and then immediately asked, "Tell me everything that happened, in detail..."
Clang!
At this moment, a crisp sound rang out, interrupting their conversation. Everyone looked over and saw a lollipop fall to the ground, followed by…
Omoi and Karui collapsing on the ground, clearly having fainted.
These two were just too timid.
This was everyone's unspoken thought.
Samui's face flushed red. These two teammates were simply… making her lose face. Furthermore, at this moment, she felt that everyone here was truly extraordinary.
Trembling…
"Tell me all the information you have," the Third Raikage said calmly, but with immense authority.
