I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived!

Chapter 58:



[450 Power Stones Reached!! Wait That Fast!!? Okay, Next Target Is 600!!]

Team 7 continued their journey back home.

Out of their sight, Gensou reappeared, his eyes on the Uchiha fan emblem on Sasuke's back.

If Sasuke truly followed through with what he had suggested, Gensou wouldn't mind taking him under his wing.

It would be a way to repay the Uchiha clan, who had once been allies.

From Samui's reports, Gensou learned that during the relocation of the Hagoromo clan, the Uchiha clan had secretly helped.

Considering the people now living with the Hagoromo clan, Gensou felt confident about recruiting Sasuke.

However, forcing someone against their will wouldn't yield good results.

It all depended on Sasuke's own decision.

No matter what, Gensou's investment would be minimal, and the potential gains could be significant.

He decided to wait and see.

As he watched the three figures disappear from sight, Gensou turned his gaze back to the bustling town behind him.

After the second battle in the Valley of the End, despite the turmoil in the outside world, he had taken the time to rediscover the joys of being alive.

With his indulgence nearly satisfied, it was time to attend to serious matters.

In a flash, Gensou left the area.

A day later.

Upon learning from Team 7 that Gensou had been sighted, Tsunade's face changed.

Relieved that Gensou had ignored the three young ninjas, she promptly dispatched Konoha shinobi to investigate.

This was the first time Gensou had truly appeared in the ninja world since the Valley of the End incident.

As expected, by the time they arrived, Gensou had vanished without a trace.

"What is he planning?" Tsunade pondered, looking out at the bustling streets.

"Could he just be enjoying his new life?"

If it were her, given a second life, she'd spend it gambling.

But she was too unique to be judged by common standards.

Both Tsunade and others believed that Gensou's meticulous resurrection must have a grand scheme behind it.

Yet, during this period, he had shown no notable actions.

Tsunade glanced at her desk, focusing on the corner of the Five Kage Summit plan peeking out from under a pile of documents, deep in thought.

...

Back at the Valley of the End.

After wandering around, Gensou found this place to be the most suitable and returned.

The traces of his recent battle with the A-B Combo still remained.

In addition, there were new marks left by others.

Because of his resurrection, the Valley of the End had become a hotspot for many in the ninja world.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Until Konoha shinobi, acting as local authorities, cleared out the intruders, restoring the valley's tranquility, though the initial fervor had already waned.

Due to the recent attack on the village and a backlog of missions, Konoha shinobi couldn't maintain a constant presence in the valley. After all, no one expected Gensou to return.

Thus, under the principle of hiding in plain sight, Gensou returned to the Valley of the End.

The statue of "Hagoromo Gensou" had already been destroyed by him.

This time, Gensou sat atop the "Senju Hashirama" statue, waiting as a familiar figure approached.

"Lord Gensou," the blonde and cold Samui arrived and knelt respectfully as she had initially.

"Stand up," Gensou waved her up, asking, "Did you bring the items?"

Samui nodded and unrolled a sealing scroll she carried.

With a puff of white smoke, dozens of books appeared on the scroll.

According to Gensou's request, these were all medical ninjutsu books, including those from Kumogakure's own collection and what the Hagoromo clan had gathered over the years. Gensou picked up a book and began flipping through it, asking, "How is Kumogakure lately?" Samui reported, "Since the Raikage returned injured, there have been some disturbances, but his lineage holds high prestige in the village. With the Raikage soon resuming his duties, everything has returned to normal."

"The Raikage's physique is impressive," Gensou commented without looking up.

While the Raikage's Taijutsu was renowned, the foundation was his well-honed, strong body.

In this regard, only the best of the Senju and Uzumaki clans could compare.

Notably, Tsunade and Naruto had exceptional physiques.

Senju and Uzumaki... Heh.

Gensou's physique was strong, but not to the supernatural levels of Naruto or the Raikage, who trained their bodies beyond human limits.

He relied more on his Steel Release, a powerful Kekkei Genkai.

Therefore, when severely injured, he couldn't recover as quickly as Naruto or the Raikage.

This was one reason he sought medical ninjutsu.

At this moment, Samui, with a slightly serious tone, said, "Lord Gensou, I overheard the upper echelons of Kumogakure discussing something. They mentioned the Raikage's intention to convene a Five Kage Summit, and the main topic would be you."

"A Five Kage Summit?"

Hearing this deeply ingrained term, Gensou's fingers paused mid-page.

The most significant setback he had ever suffered was at the first Five Kage Summit.

Those five treacherous old geezers! Never mind.

No point in holding a grudge against the dead.

Maybe someday he should visit their graves, offer some incense, dance a bit, reconnect, and

express how he would continue to live happily with their blessings.

"Don't worry about it, it doesn't matter," Gensou resumed flipping through the book,

speaking indifferently.

Although the summit was the same, the participants were different.

Getting the Five Great Shinobi Villages to set aside their differences and work together wasn't

easy.

In the original timeline, they united only because the Akatsuki had captured the Tailed Beasts from One to Seven, wreaked havoc on Konoha, and then declared the Fourth Great Ninja War at the summit. With no other choice, the villages cooperated.

But the current situation was different.

People were singing, drinking, and dancing.

The blade wasn't fully at their throats yet, so even if the Kage wanted to, the villages

wouldn't cooperate smoothly.

Understanding human nature, Gensou knew this well.

He genuinely didn't care about the upcoming summit.

At worst, another sneak attack by the Five Kage? But this time, there was no Hashirama

among them.

Seeing Gensou's dismissive attitude towards the Five Kage Summit, Samui's eyes showed a

hint of admiration.

Noticing Gensou had finished one book and was reaching for another, she quickly conveyed a

message from the clan:

"Lord Gensou, Elder Muteni asked me to tell you that he wishes to meet with you."
