Time flies, and soon the day comes for the official meeting of the Five Shadows.

The agreed time was nine o'clock in the morning, and the location was in the newly built conference room under the Hokage Rock specially designed for the Five Kage talks.

Although the agreed time was nine o'clock, as hosts, they certainly could not arrive at nine o'clock, so at eight forty, Nagaze and Minato arrived at the conference room.

The style of the conference room tends to be retro, with wooden floors on the floor, wall decorations and various ornaments also in retro style.

There wasn't much clutter in the conference room, but in order to commemorate the last meeting of the Five Kage, portraits of the first five Kage were hung on it to show that they had inherited the will of their ancestors.

Because it was the Gokage Conference held by Hashirama, there was a statue of Hashirama looking at the conference table at the very back of the conference room.

Konoha doesn't know what other Ninja Villages think, but they definitely think that Hashirama deserves the most credit. There is no problem in having a statue of Hashirama in the conference room of the second Five Kage Conference.

The conference table is located in the middle of the overall layout. It is a large round table with six wooden chairs placed around it.

In fact, normally there should be five chairs, corresponding to the five shadows. As for the accompanying guards, they are definitely not qualified to sit.

But this time the situation was special. Considering that Nagaze played a huge role in this, he also sat together with the Kage and participated in the meeting.

In this regard, Nagazawa maintained a very open attitude and said that if the other Kages thought there was something unreasonable, they could raise it and they would seriously consider it. After all, Konoha ninjas are all reasonable.

But it is a pity that no one is opposed to this. The other actors all expressed their approval of Nagaze and thought that it would be absolutely fine for Nagaze to sit at the same table with them.

Minato sat on the main seat, Nagazawa sat on his right, and Kakashi, who came as a guard, stood in the middle behind the two.

Minato sat on a chair and looked around, seeing the five shadow portraits on the wall and the statue of Hashirama behind him.

"If someone holds the Five Kage Conference again in the future, I wonder if our portraits will be hung on the wall to commemorate them like this." Minato sighed.

Looking back on my experiences over the past few years, it really feels like a dream.

Although he aspired to become Hokage, he never expected that he would become Hokage at this age.

At that time, although Minato had great military exploits, it did not mean that he was the only hero in the war.

In fact, Orochimaru and Jiraiya were both inferior to him in terms of military exploits. The two of them started fighting for Konoha during the Second Ninja War and made quite a name for themselves.

Among them, Jiraiya is Minato's teacher, and Orochimaru can be regarded as Minato's senior.

In terms of merit, he can't be considered the first, and in terms of qualifications, he is just a rising star.

No matter how confident Minato was in himself, he could only say that he would become Hokage, but he could not guarantee when he would become Hokage.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya are the most popular candidates for Hokage, followed by Tsunade.

But reality is always full of surprises, and in the end he became Hokage, a young Hokage.

Becoming the Hokage he had always dreamed of becoming, Minato had countless ambitions in his heart that he wanted to realize, determined to surpass all previous Hokages and make Konoha more powerful.

However, Minato knew this was a long-term project.

Because there is no concept of Hokage's term of office, and there are some special reasons, whether it is from the first generation to the second generation, or from the second generation to the third generation, it is actually when the previous Hokage dies that a new Hokage takes over the position.

Minato became the fourth generation while the third generation was alive, but this was the first time in Konoha.

A series of issues such as the power of the previous Hokage and the current Hokage, distrust of the young Hokage, etc. were suddenly exposed.

In addition, Konoha had just experienced the tragic Third Ninja War and suffered heavy losses.

At this time, things in Konoha were like a messy ball of thread with no end, making it difficult to start.

Therefore, no matter how many heroic ambitions Minato has in his heart, it will not help. The top priority is to sort out the internal affairs of Konoha and restore the strength of the village.

According to Minato's estimate, if the problem is optimistic, it will be solved in about three or four years. If it is troublesome, it may take about six years, and it is not completely solved.

To this end, he specially invited Nagazawa, a friend he had known since the ninja school days, to help him.

Before this, everything was normal.

It was like entering the fast lane, and changes quickly occurred.

Created a new department and used original physical skills to train the new department, and achieved very good results.

He eased the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha and taught many powerful ninjas.

In step-by-step actions, the internal conflicts in the village were resolved, and Minato truly gained the power of Hokage.

Followed by many changes, medical education has been reformed, and the economy has also been improved.

Of course, the most important thing is Nagaze's invincible strength, which is an important reason why the other four countries can honestly participate in the Five Shadows Talks.

No one knows the current strength of Nagazawa. They just know that no one has ever beaten Nagazawa at the same level as Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

It was originally expected that it would take a long time to rectify Konoha and regain its strength. Unexpectedly, it was not only accomplished so quickly, but also doubled, directly restoring its original status.

This is no dream-like experience.

"That's not necessarily the case." Yongze said with a smile.

"Huh?" Minato looked at Nagaze with some confusion.

"If we are the ones who convene the Five Shadows Conference next time, then of course we don't need to hang our own portraits," Nagaze explained.

In his opinion, the Five Shadows Conference is just calling everyone together for a meeting, so there is nothing sacred about it.

With the current momentum of Konoha, it will be difficult for other ninja villages to catch up with the strength of other ninja villages in the future. So why don't you just hold a meeting if you want to? Do you dare to come?

The so-called Five Kage Conference means that the five ninja villages that have the strongest military power formulate rules for the ninja world.

If something happens later that can be resolved through a meeting, Yongze will choose to have a meeting to resolve it.

His opponent is not from the ninja world, but from the distant starry sky.

No matter how you say it, people in the ninja world are compatriots on the same planet. Those aliens like Otsutsuki are different. They will destroy your planet at every turn. Who can bear this?

"Hokage, Nagazawa assists." While Minato and Nagazawa were chatting, Onoki walked in with a smile, followed by an Iwagakure jounin.

That is to say, this Five Kage Conference was an emergency. I thought I was here to take the Chunin Exam, but in the end, the Five Kage Conference was actually held midway.

Otherwise, the choice of guard is very particular. Generally, it must be your favorite and most powerful disciple, or simply the next Kage who has been appointed by default.

But Ohnoki couldn't let Huang Tu come all the way from Iwagakure to act as a guard just for the meeting.

He has also seen Yongze take action. If Yongze really has an idea, the loess will be given for nothing. It will not have any impact on the final result. Whatever should be done, if you can win, you will still win. If you can't, you will win.

Even if you win, you still can't win.

"Tsuchikage."

Minato and Nagazawa also responded.

Onoki sat on the chair to the left of Minato and placed the Tsuchikage hat on his head on the round table. The jounin behind him quickly followed and stood behind Onoki.

After all, it was the meeting of the Five Kages, so everyone was dressed very formally. Minato was also wearing the Hokage robe and the Hokage hat on his head.

After Onoki arrived, Luo Sha arrived quickly, and the escort he brought was Ma Ji, whom he was optimistic about.

Rasa was already ready to hang out with Konoha's big brother, so she quickly greeted Minato and Nagazawa, and then sat next to Onoki.

After five minutes passed, Raikage arrived in the conference room. He glanced around and quickly arrived next to Luo Sha.

At this moment, he was glad that he had come a little early, otherwise he would have had to sit with Yongze.

It wasn't that the Raikage was afraid of Fujiwara Nagazawa, but that he simply felt uncomfortable.

Yagura was the last one to arrive. When he walked into the conference room, Yagura saw that he was actually the last one. He was obviously a little early. What made Yagura unhappy was that he could only be next to Nagazawa.

The escort Yagura brought was Terumi Mei. As the captain of the Konoha team sent by Kirigakure, it was decided long ago to serve as the escort for the Five Kage Conference.

Entering the conference room, looking at the five people sitting around the round table, Terumi Mei's expression subconsciously became serious, and she unconsciously began to correct her walking pace, trying to be as regular as possible.

You know, the person sitting on the round table is the shadow who can decide the peace or not of the ninja world. He is the top figure in the ninja world.

Terumi Mei observed the people sitting on the round table with careful eyes.

Kirigakure implements a closed policy. Domestic ninjas will basically not go out, and ninjas from other countries will not be allowed to enter Kirigakure.

It can be said that except for his own Kirigakure Mizukage, Terumi Mei has only heard some news.

'That burly figure and strong muscles, with such a strong sense of oppression, it feels like he can kill a Jonin with one punch. He must be the Raikage of Kumogakure Village.'

'With a body shorter than our Mizukage, and with such an old posture, he should be the third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village. Although he is old, he can still not be underestimated.'

"With his dazzling golden hair, sunny smile, and wearing the Hokage's robe, he should be the Fourth Hokage known as Yellow Flash."

"Uh, no, why are there six people sitting there?" Terumi Mei was shocked to find that there were not only five figures sitting on the round table, but six people.

However, since the five shadows all have hats in front of them that only the shadows wear, they are still easy to identify.

Terumi Mei looked at the man between the Mizukage and the Hokage. He was the only one without a shadow hat in front of him. He had dark black hair and a familiar handsome young face...

Sensing Terumi Mei's gaze, Nagazawa showed a friendly smile to Terumi Mei.

Terumi Mei:??

She suddenly realized that this was the "eating friend" she met while shopping at night. A con man who was a dessert lover, tricked her into eating that super sweet dumpling, and he even ate it twice.

"You..." Terumi Mei was about to say something.

Because the Five Shadows had just arrived and everyone was still brewing, no one spoke and it was very quiet.

In this quiet environment where no one spoke, Terumi Mei still attracted everyone's attention even if she didn't use a loud voice.

Being stared at by everyone, including the Gokage, Terumi Mei broke into cold sweat on her forehead, which was covered by her delicate reddish-brown hair.
