Chapter 222 - Chapter 220: Recognition from Tsunade and Kakashi, Fourth Raikage wants to initiate a Five Kage Summit!

NEW BOOK

[Naruto: The Medical Ninja Who Rewrote the Sand]

[Good news: he transmigrated.

Bad news: it wasn't Konoha, where survival comes with plot armor.

Even worse it was Sunagakure, the most reckless and short-sighted village among the Five Great Nations.

In the aftermath of the Second Shinobi World War, Yubi looks at a village plagued by talent shortages and crippling resource scarcity—one that may never recover on its own. At that moment, he realizes something clearly:

If nothing changes, the Sand will fall.

Fortunately, Yubi possesses a system.

And with it, he's confident he can reshape the fate of Sunagakure—even if his starting point is merely a medical ninja.

So his first step toward changing history?

Recruiting Sasori of the Red Sand—before he ever walks down the path of rebellion.

Pull the future S-rank criminal onto his side.

Rewrite the tragedy of the Sand.

And prove that even a medical ninja can shake the ninja world.]

Uchiha Jin spoke unhurriedly.

He didn't need to hide anything from Tsunade and Kakashi. After all, while they weren't of the same clan, he admired their character and abilities, and they were essentially part of his core circle.

At the very least...

Unless he intended to destroy the Ninja World, he had no reason to fear their betrayal!

On the other side...

As he spoke, Tsunade and Kakashi felt their scalps go numb.

Silence!

After a long while, Tsunade couldn't help but speak: "Must it be done this way?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama," Kakashi added. "Can't we find a way to speed things up?"

Unfortunately, however...

Uchiha Jin shook his head, his tone remaining cold and cruel: "That is absolutely impossible. Have you two considered how Konoha was originally established?"

"Konoha?" Kakashi asked, bewildered.

Hearing this, Tsunade let out a sigh.

Clearly...

She was different from Kakashi. Because she led the Senju Clan and because Senju Tobirama had been brought back via Edo Tensei, Tsunade was currently quite familiar with the history preceding the village's founding.

"Yes, Konoha!"

"Do you think Konoha was established because the Ninja Clanss of the Land of Fire had a peaceful meeting and then just built it?"

"It was a thousand years of tragic warfare, and it was the world-ending power of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara."

"Both were indispensable!"

"Without those thousand years of tragic fighting during the Sengoku period, then no matter how strong Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were, they couldn't have made so many Ninja Clanss agree and join Konoha wholeheartedly."

"Without those thousand years of tragic slaughter, not a single person would have refused to follow Madara when he left Konoha!"

"This wasn't because Senju Hashirama's personal charisma was so high, nor was it because the Uchiha were so loyal to Konoha; it was simply because the Uchiha were fed up with the bloody killing, and at that stage, the Uchiha wanted to settle down."

"The same logic applies today!"

"Only by letting the chaos continue, and even increasing its intensity until everyone in the Ninja World can't stand it anymore, until they forget about things like Daimyo and nobles..."

"Only then will it be time for Konoha to act and begin establishing a new order."

"The right time, the right place, and the support of the people—all three are indispensable!"

"Otherwise..."

"If a new order is rushed out, then even if the Ninja World can be unified, it will face countless rebellions until that emerging order is completely destroyed!"

"So this isn't me being cold; it's the price that must be paid to establish a new order!"

"And I must remind you both of one thing: a truly reliable leader must, to some extent, be heartless."

"Being too emotional will truly ruin things!"

Uchiha Jin's tone was serious.

He wasn't trying to scare them; this was the crystallization of five thousand years of history from his homeland.

"Heaven and Earth are heartless; they treat all things as straw dogs!"

When he first encountered this theory, he could only feel it was cold and unacceptable. But only after reaching adulthood and studying history did he understand that the saying 'Great Benevolence is heartless' truly makes sense. If a person is too emotional, they cannot become a qualified leader.

Just like the current Ninja World, the 'connection through love' created by Otsutsuki Hagoromo might seem full of warmth, but in reality, it caused the split of Ninjutsu Sect and a thousand years of slaughter.

Although Uchiha Jin's method was cold, it could bring about true, long-lasting peace!

Why did the Qin Dynasty perish in its second generation?

The so-called Hu Hai, Fu Su, Li Si, and Zhao Gao were all superficialities. The fundamental reason was that the pace of unification was too fast. From its inception, the interior was full of instability, and it almost entirely relied on the prestige of the First Emperor alone.

With the death of Ying Zheng, the Qin Dynasty naturally collapsed!

Tsunade: "..."

Kakashi: "..."

After hearing these words, the two were instantly plunged into shock.

Yes!

Although they felt it was cold when they first heard it, after careful consideration, they found it was indeed logical!

Think back to when Konoha was first established; could the internal Ninja Clanss trust each other?

Impossible!

They were almost all in awe of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, choosing to join Konoha out of helplessness. Later, as they gradually interacted and integrated, and as everyone grew tired of the constant killing of the Sengoku era, Konoha slowly became truly stable.

The Uchiha were an example!

In order to thrive stably in Konoha, they didn't even hesitate to betray their own clan leader, Uchiha Madara.

But... without those thousand years of slaughter in the Sengoku era, with the Uchiha's proud and even defiant character, would they have really been willing to stay in Konoha as subordinates of the Senju Clan?

Nonsense!

The current situation was the same. Without going through a long period of chaotic classes, would people recognize the new order brought by Konoha?

So, sigh!

Thinking of this, the two could only let out a helpless sigh.

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

"Although it sounds very cold, it is the best way."

"For the sake of future long-term peace and stability, temporary sacrifices are worth it!"

Tsunade sighed softly and was the first to nod.

Although Kakashi didn't speak, he couldn't help but nod silently.

He wasn't stupid!

It was just that the Hatake Family's philosophy leaned more toward that of the Samurai.

Plus, having been in the Anbu for so many years, he had seen the dark side of the Ninja World. So, upon careful consideration, Uchiha Jin's cold speech naturally made sense... Time slowly passed.

Ten days later.

Nara Shikaku hurried into the Hokage Office and spoke in an urgent tone.

"Hokage-sama, Lady Tsunade!"

"Our Jonin Squad received a contact letter from Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning. They hope to hold a Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron in five days."

"The Land of Iron has already agreed, and Sunagakure and Iwagakure have also agreed."

"Because of the distance, there is no news back from the Hidden Mist yet. How should we in Konoha respond?"

Almost instantly.

As Nara Shikaku spoke, Uchiha Jin and Tsunade glanced at each other, seeing the thoughtfulness in each other's eyes.

Clearly.

The two had already guessed it!

The other hidden villages would definitely be unable to hold back, especially Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

After all, not only had their Daimyo and nobles died, but more importantly, they had each lost one of their Tailed Beasts. Especially the Fourth Raikage, A, who had been heavily injured by the Akatsuki Organization.

Under these circumstances, they couldn't endure it!

In fact, it was true.

The chaos had only lasted for about half a month, and Kumogakure was already anxious to start the Five Kage Summit.

"We'll participate. Of course we'll participate!"

"Inform the Land of Iron and Kumogakure that Konoha will participate on time in five days."

"Go ahead!"
