Chapter 735: Chapter – 728 Konoha Conference
Conference Hall, Hokage Building, Konohagakure
The hall was filled with silence, only the breathing sound of people attending the meeting could be heard, and Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces.
In the main seat, Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sat and glanced at Everyone with a tired expression. He sighed faintly and said, "I hope Everyone has carefully read the summarization of the information that was placed on the table… now let's talk about eveRyōne's opinion on the matter."
Jiraiya put the papers in his hands on the table and said with a serious expression, "It's very clear, up until now, all of us were being played by Danzō. I won't say anything in regards to the rumored problem in his body, however, the injury he suffered at the hands of Kakashi, was definitely intentional to make us think that he is vulnerable and weakened!"
Tsunade-hime agreed with Jiraiya, "According to the information sent by Raikage when he encountered Danzō, there were no signs of that injury on his body, which clearly means that it was healed, heck, Raikage even says that the problem in his soul is also just his act! Based on this, we can conclude that Danzō just wanted us to think that there was some problem with his soul and body. The next important thing is the sudden rumor about his whereabouts at two different locations… those whereabouts were leaked a few days after the supposed 'injury' that he suffered. No doubt, the whereabouts were also leaked by him. His purpose was likely to lure out someone using his vulnerable state as bait."
All the people present in the meeting nodded.
There were too many rumors circulating around about Danzō until a few days ago, which one was true, and which one is false, it was very hard to determine, so no one could judge whether there really was any problem in his soul or not. But now that they have compiled all the information they have on Danzō, it can be clearly determined that Danzō was trying to lure out someone.
The only problem is, that they don't have enough information to accurately determine who is the person Danzō wanted to lure out.
Although they can make some guesses, however, without any strong evidence it's all pointless.
At this time, the Uchiha Patriarch also put down the papers on the table and said, "There is no information about how he obtained that pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, we must determine that as well!"
Hearing Fugaku's doubts, Shisui subconsciously glanced at Kuroto with a questioning gaze, as if asking, 'Did you know anything about this matter?'
Feeling Shisui's gaze, and understanding his intention, Kuroto shook his head lightly, replying, 'no' and signaled him to stay calm.
Despite being perfectly aware of the origin of Danzō's Mangekyō Sharingan, Kuroto has no intention of telling anyone about it, because that would mean explaining the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual and Kuroto didn't want to do that.
Besides, the threat of Danzō has already been resolved, so naturally, there is no need for anyone to figure out why and how Danzō obtained Uchihas Mangekyō Sharingan.
While the others nodded to Fugaku's doubts, the Hyuga Patriarch questioned, "Do we know where Danzō is hiding?"
The Jonin Commander of Konoha, Nara Shikaku replied, "Although we don't know the exact location where he is hiding, however, based on the information we received from Kirigakure; after his failed attempt to control Yondaime Mizukage Karatachi Yagura-dono, Shimura Danzō immediately fled from the Land of Water and disappeared somewhere in the deserts of the Land of Wind. Kazekage Pakura-dono has already deployed Sunagakure shinobi and they are currently searching for his exact location."
Elder Koharu muttered, "Has he been hiding in the deserts of the Land of Wind?" and sighed, "It really a pity… I never imagined one of us would end up in such a miserable situation."
Nobody paid attention to Elder Koharu's words because no one here had sympathy for Danzō.
Hiashi questioned, "Why did Danzō flee from Kirigakure so decisively?"
Nara Shikaku answered, "Based on what we are told by Kirigakure, there seemed to be two reasons why he fled, first is that he seemed to be exhausted and running out of chakra because of several continuous battles, and the second reason is that he seemed to be fleeing from someone."
Nobody doubted Nara Shikaku's words, because they seemed completely reasonable.
Danzō went through several continuous battles, and then rushed all the way to the Land of Water, even if his injuries could heal, it was only natural for his chakra reserves to get exhausted. Moreover, the place where Danzō and Yondaime Mizukage fought was also near the sea so Yagura had an obvious advantage.
Fugaku asked, "And do we know who was Danzō fleeing from?"
In response to Fugaku's question, everybody shook their heads, and Nara Shikaku answered, "No, we are not sure, there is too little information." And added, "But considering Danzō's strength it has to be someone extremely strong."
Sandaime Hokage picked up Nara Patriarch's words and continued, "Even the five Kage don't have enough strength that would make Danzō flee so decisively. If I had to guess, it could be either Akatsuki or the Amatsukami. The chances that it's Akatsuki is quite high considering the members of the Akatsuki Organization also seemed to be searching for him."
Hearing Sandaime's explanation, everybody nodded, "Makes sense." Because only Akatsuki and Amatsukami seem to have enough strength to make Danzō feel threatened.
At this time, the captain of the intelligence division, Yamanaka Inoichi said, "Kumogakure hopes to use the upcoming conference to unite the five Kage and launch a decisive encirclement to eliminate Danzō because his presence is a threat to the peace of the entire Shinobi World."
Jiraiya sighed, "I never expected a day would come when the Raikage would so actively seek help, it seems Danzō has really put too much pressure on him."
Tsunade-hime expressed her thoughts, "To be honest I don't really see any problem in Raikage's proposal, however, considering the recent actions of Akatsuki Organization… won't it be a little too risky?"
Sandaime nodded, "That's what I am worried about too."
A few days ago, Iwagakure was suddenly attacked by the Akatsuki Organization, based on the information Konoha has been able to gather about this attack, all they know is that Sandaime Tsuchikage was seriously wounded and barely managed to escape, his current whereabouts are unknown. Tsuchikage Ōnoki's son Kitsuchi died in the attack, while the Jinchuriki of four tails and five tails were captured by the Akatsuki Organization, and finally, more than half of the Shinobi present in the village at the time either died or were seriously injured.
Overall, it was a disaster for Iwagakure.
When Konoha received the news of Akatsuki's attack on Iwagakure, it was like a lightning bolt out of the blue; catching everyone off guard.
It must be known that although Iwagakure doesn't have as many Kage rank individuals as Konoha, their strength was still very good, especially the overall military power, Iwagakure had the most number of shinobi out of any great shinobi village.
Yet such an Iwagakure suffered so severely in the face of the Akatsuki Organization's attack.
Now Akatsuki Organization has managed to catch three-tailed beasts, and they also have part of the chakra of Three Tails and Eight-Tails that they acquired during their Konoha Collapse plan.
Although nobody clearly understands Akatsuki's purpose, Everyone instinctively feels that they can't allow the Akatsuki Organization to succeed, but then again, no one seems to have the confidence that they can do anything against Akatsuki.
Just think about it, Iwagakure suffered so badly from the Akatsuki Organization's attack, a few months ago, Kumogakure suffered from Shimura Danzō's rampage, before that Konoha suffered from Akatsuki Organization's Konoha Collapse Plan, and before that Kirigakure suffered because of the civil war initiated by Akatsuki Organization.
The only village that hasn't suffered any sort of attack is Sunagakure, however, their previous Kazekage died at the hands of Akatsuki and now they seriously lack shinobi of Kage rank. Except for the current Kazekage Pakura, no one seems to have such strength.
While Everyone was silent, Hiashi suddenly questioned, "Wasn't Akatsuki dormant for so long? Why would they suddenly become active? First, they target Danzō, then they suddenly change their target and attack Iwagakure out of the blue… this is a bit strange."
Kakashi nodded, and informed eveRyōne, "The reason Akatsuki targeted Iwagakure, it's probably related to Dojin."
"Dojin?!" someone muttered, and asked, "Who is Dojin?!"

Chapter 736: Chapter – 729 Konoha Conference 2
Many of the senior members of Konoha weren't aware of the existence of the newest member of Amatsukami, so when they heard Kakashi mention 'Dojin' and him being the primary reason why the Akatsuki Organization attacked Iwagakure, they were confused and expressed their doubts, "Who is Dojin, and why would Akatsuki target Iwagakure because of him?"
After taking Sandaime's permission to divulge information about Dojin, Kakashi then told everyone in the conference hall the whole process of encountering the newest member of Amatsukami back when they were hunting Danzō, how Dojin helped them against the Akatsuki Organization, and how he overwhelmed 'Madara' with his wit and Jutsu that he had mastered.
'Unbelievable!' was Hyuga Patriarch's first thought when he heard the description of Dojin and his fight with 'Madara'.
Hiashi wasn't the only one who was so surprised, the others in the conference hall, who weren't previously aware of Dojin had similar thoughts in their minds.
A twelve or thirteen-year-old young man mastering Explosion Release is not shocking, there are countless shinobi in this world who are more than capable of this feat, however, mastering Dust Release on top of Explosion Release is really something. The fact that not only did he master a Kekkei Tōta at such a young age but also defeated one of the strongest members of Akatsuki using the said Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta goes to show that similar to other members of Amatsukami, Dojin too is not an ordinary shinobi.
The status of Dust Release is undeniable in the Shinobi World as this is the only Kekkei Tōta in existence, now that someone other than Ōnoki has appeared who has mastered Dust Release, that person became the focus of all the Shinobi villages.
Shisui looked at Kuroto in surprise, he did not know that someone so incredible had joined Amatsukami, so he was really curious about Dojin.
Fugaku also muttered in admiration, "This is indeed the Amatsukami that we know, each and every member they select is one of a kind!"
On the side, Elder Koharu couldn't help but mutter, "Explosion Release on top of Dust Release… Kakashi this Dojin person should be from Iwagakure, right?"
Kakashi nodded lightly, "I had the same thought as everyone else, so after returning to the village I started to investigate all the shinobi of Iwagakure that we have information about." After saying this, Kakashi got up from his seat and distributed some documents he had prepared in advance to all the people in the conference hall and continued, "I soon locked upon a shinobi who seemed to match the identity of Dojin. The information I have distributed just now is of a particular shinobi from Iwagakure, please see it and tell me if everyone here feels the same."
Kuroto read the documents given by Kakashi, and the first thing that caught his eye was a picture of Deidara. Upon seeing the picture, Kuroto couldn't help but sigh inwardly and think, 'Was it so easy to determine?'
"Use of similar Explosive Clay to increase the power and versatility of Explosion Release, similar height, and on top of that, the identity of being Sandaime Tsuchikage Ōnoki's disciple… Really, no more hints are required… this guy Deidara has to be Dojin." Muttered Jiraiya in conclusion.
The others nodded in agreement with Jiraiya.
Seeing that almost Everyone agreed with his theory, Kakashi added, "I believe that the Akatsuki Organization also realized that Deidara is Dojin, hence they attacked Iwagakure."
"This… makes a lot of sense." Muttered Akimichi Patriarch in agreement.
On the other hand, Kuroto was speechless after hearing Kakashi's theory, and only now did he realize why Akatsuki suddenly made their move on Iwagakure.
Back then, Kuroto only made his move in order to save his former Anbu subordinates, Kuroto never expected that just because he was using Dojin Clone at that time, the development of the matter would become so crazy. Akatsuki attacked Iwagakure, captured four tails and five tails, and destroyed more than half of Iwagakure… 'Really now… this is just absurd!'
And while Kuroto was thinking about the absurdity of the situation, Hyuga Patriarch couldn't help but question, "I don't understand one thing… If this child Deidara is a member of Amatsukami, then at the time Akatsuki attacked Iwagakure, why didn't Amatsukami intervene and stop Akatsuki? Why would they just allow such a thing to happen?"
Kakashi wasn't sure, however, he did have some guesses and answered, "Perhaps… Amatsukami's attention was on Shimura Danzō at that time, and Akatsuki's sudden attack on Iwagakure caught them off guard."
Everyone pondered over Kakashi's words and felt that it was possible.
Upon thinking more, they also feel that the people that Danzō was trying to lure out were probably members of Amatsukami, Dojin's action of appearing at one of the leaked locations proves that Amatsukami was also paying attention to Danzō.
In fact, this was indeed the case, Kuroto's entire attention was on Danzō, so he didn't even consider the possibility that Akatsuki would suddenly give up on hunting down Danzō and suddenly attack Iwagakure.
At this time, Hiashi suddenly asked Sandaime, "Hokage-sama, why don't you directly confirm all the details from Amatsukami about what exactly happened?"
Everyone nodded to Hiashi's question and glanced at Sandaime.
In the face of everyone's doubt, Sandaime replied helplessly, "In fact, we have never had any means of contacting Amatsukami. It has always been one-sided communication from the side of Amatsukami, so unless they get in touch with us, we don't know anything."
"What?!" Almost everyone was taken aback after hearing Sandaime's words.
Only selected individuals from the Hokage faction knew about this fact up until now, so this is indeed shocking for most.
Before this moment, almost everyone used to think that the village had its own way of communicating with Amatsukami, so they were not too worried about a surprise attack from Akatsuki as Amatsukami would come to their aid once the village requested their assistance, but now that they have learned the truth, they couldn't help but panic. If Akatsuki attacks them, and Amatsukami is busy somewhere else, then doesn't that mean Konoha will also suffer just like Iwa? Although Konoha has a greater number of people with high-end combat power, and they also have Uchiha Shisui, the strongest power on the side of the five great shinobi villages, however, what can they all do when facing Uzumaki Nagato? It would be a one-sided crushing defeat for Konoha!
Seeing that everyone was panicked, Sandaime immediately decided to change the matter and ordered in a serious tone of voice, "The date of the Five Kage conference is approaching, so we must step up the search of Tsuchikage and Deidara… Currently, Deidara is probably our only way to contact Amatsukami so we must do everything we can to find him as soon as possible."
Everyone agreed, "Yes."
Seeing that he had everyone's agreement, Sandaime was satisfied, and said, "That would be all from my side. If anyone has anything to speak, please do now, otherwise, we will end the conference here."
Hearing this, Kuroto suddenly raised his hand and spoke to Sandaime, "Hokage-sama, I am planning to conduct 'real-world' simulation training for all the academy students, I hope I can get the village's cooperation for this."
This has been on Kuroto's mind for quite a while. And this sudden raid of Akatsuki on Iwagakure made it so that Kuroto could no longer wait. Of course, he is going to accelerate his Project Godhood, he is also going to accelerate the training of the next generation, especially the training of Naruto and Sasuke, the two sons of prophecy."
If Naruto and Sasuke grow up smoothly, then with the aid of the Sage of Six Path, they will become a force to be reckoned with. This is extremely necessary to make sure that if something unexpected happens on his end, for example, if he ends up dying, and the situation becomes critical then Naruto and Sasuke will be able to handle the situation and keep things in check while he uses his backhand to make a comeback.
Sandaime thought that Kuroto was worried because of the threat of Danzō and Akatsuki and wanted to give the children some real-world exposure to speed up their growth, so after pondering over it for a while, he nodded, "All right."
Kuroto thanked Sandaime, and with that, the conference ended.
