All the Hokage present knew that Akihara Kagura was very powerful.
However, in this battle, Akihara Kagura used the Jutsu they were most skilled in, defeating them in the field the four Hokage were proud of.
"This little guy is really strong, stronger than Madara and me!"
Senju Hashirama recalled his stories from when he was alive and actively admitted his shortcomings: "Even when I was alive, I wasn't a match for this little guy..."
"Though Kagura only transplanted the cells of the First Lord..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood to the side and witnessed the process of Akihara Kagura becoming stronger step by step: "But Kagura's talent and diligence are the tools that allowed him to reach this point..."
"The most terrifying thing is that sinister kid's cunning..."
Senju Tobirama coldly added a sentence, as Akihara Kagura's thoughts and schemes are more dangerous than his powerful strength.
"I'm still far behind in this regard..."
Akihara Kagura's figure slowly landed in front of them and shook his head, saying, "I will continue to work hard in the future and strive not to let down the expectations of the Second Hokage Lord..."
"Such effort is unnecessary."
Senju Tobirama turned his head indifferently.
All the Hokage of Konoha's past were manipulated by this guy into becoming puppets that control Konoha; if this kid keeps working hard, does Konoha have any future path?
"In the future..."
Akihara Kagura didn't mind Senju Tobirama's stubbornness and cheerfully discussed with them, "I hope all the Hokage Lords will support my work in Konoha..."
"..."
The faces of the four Hokage present were somewhat strange.
"Sigh, actually, there is no need for you and Tsunade to fight..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and actively advised, "I understand Tsunade's character, you two can get along well, there is no irreconcilable conflict..."
"That depends on Tsunade Lord's choice."
Akihara Kagura chuckled lightly and continued, "I also wish to get along well with my new Supervisor if she can support my work... For instance, she consented to my revival of the Hokage Lords, something we cooperated very happily on."
"..."
All four Hokage couldn't help but feel that Tsunade's path as Hokage was dim; how could she support or even permit such a thing?
Isn't this throwing herself into a pit?
However...
Tsunade didn't even think she had fallen into a pit.
As a newly appointed Hokage, Tsunade had a backlog of troubles, and the appearance of the four Hokage could help her a lot and also help her stabilize the situation in Konoha.
Obviously.
Tsunade believed that with Akihara Kagura's assistance in reviving the past Hokage, as long as she could get this subordinate's approval, he could become her most powerful ally, helping her guard Konoha in the future.
The following day.
Inside Konoha Village.
The Daimyo sent people to deliver a summons to the Konoha high officials, for the Hokage appointment meeting. Meetings of this level must be attended by all Konoha high officials.
Similarly.
This meeting would certainly face challenges from the nobles.
When Tsunade saw Akihara Kagura, she didn't inquire about the progress of the Reanimation Jutsu, only thinking about how to make this subordinate recognize that she is a qualified Hokage.
Daimyo Prefecture.
This is where the Daimyo resides, also the capital of the Land of Fire.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire sat wordlessly in the meeting room, covering his mouth with the fan in his hand, smiling as he listened to the ministers' opinions, occasionally nodding.
The ministers of the Land of Fire sat on one side, while the Konoha high officials sat on the other side, constituting the ruling class of the Land of Fire, with a group of guards lined up behind them.
A minister from the Land of Fire looked at Tsunade and a group of Konoha Ninja and couldn't help but fiercely criticize them: "Lately, you Konoha Ninja have been acting a bit too domineering. Tsunade, the debt defaulting can be understood, but clearing the casinos under my governance..."
"After the meeting, I want to kill him."
Akihara Kagura waved to Karin behind him, beckoning her, "Have someone investigate what mistakes this minister has made and hand me the charges before the meeting ends, lest anyone says we Konoha kill indiscriminately."
"That's too domineering!"
That minister was taken aback.
How can people in the world not make mistakes?
Especially as nobles and ministers of the Land of Fire, making slightly outrageous moves towards some lowly people, to live slightly better, taking some money from the lowly people, selling a bit of intelligence about the Land of Fire to enemy nations, can that be called a mistake?
"This is indeed a bit overbearing..."
A minister also began to criticize Konoha.
"This won't do..."
"Konoha should also be reasonable, right?"
Some ministers saw there were many people and began to speak up one after another.
"You are all right."
Akihara Kagura nodded and waved to Karin again, openly instructing, "Investigate those who spoke up, after the meeting, I want them all killed..."
"Do you think this will threaten us?"
"That's just a joke!"
"Are you threatening the nobles of the Land of Fire?"
"This is not a threat."
Akihara Kagura interrupted them, softly saying, "I am serious about everything I said, I plan to kill those who were just speaking after the meeting..."
"!!!"
This group of ministers immediately shut their mouths.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire shrank back a little; this little guy named Akihara Kagura reminded him of Shimura Danzo, who used to look very fierce in Konoha...
