"Hagoromo Gensou has really been resurrected!"
In the Hokage's office, besides Tsunade and Jiraiya, Shizune, now the Hokage's secretary, was also present.
Upon hearing Jiraiya reveal the truth, the office fell into a dead silence.
In the current shinobi world, how many could force the renowned duo, A and B, to flee with severed arms?
And then there was the Ice Release.
The Yuki clan had long been annihilated by Kirigakure, with the sole survivor having already perished in the Land of Waves.
Combining the information that Gensou possesses Ice Release, the truth was already evident.
"How can a person who has been dead for over fifty years be resurrected? Even with Edo Tensei, it shouldn't achieve this result! How did he manage it?"
As a medical master, Tsunade, who understood life and death better than most, was utterly perplexed after her initial shock.
While she had saved many lives and brought back many who were said to be claimed by death, the so-called "claimed by death" was more like "on the verge of death."
In the true boundary between life and death, not even she, the most skilled medical ninja, could cross it.
"Tsunade-sama!"
At this moment, Shizune suddenly thought of something and her face changed.
"Could it be related to the Spirit Transfer Technique?"
"The Spirit Transfer Technique!" Mentioning this, Tsunade's temper flared up.
It wasn't directed at Shizune, but at Gensou.
That guy, once a peer of her grandfather and Madara, ended up using such despicable means to steal others' techniques.
If she had been on the scene at that time, she would have punched him hard.
But things had come to this point.
Tsunade quickly suppressed her anger and frowned in deep thought: "The Spirit Transfer Technique can detach the soul from the body and kill from a distance. But that's still far from resurrection."
Jiraiya stroked his chin.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of Orochimaru.
"Maybe... Gensou developed a technique similar to Orochimaru's Living Corpse Reincarnation, which allowed him to come back to life. And the reason he sought the Reanimation Technique might be to complete the final piece of the puzzle regarding the soul."
Given the unclear circumstances surrounding how Gensou's body maintained its vitality, this was the most Jiraiya could think of.
"A technique similar to Living Corpse Reincarnation?" Tsunade understood.
For someone like Gensou, who emerged victorious from the Warring States Period, using any method to come back to life was not surprising.
"Another Orochimaru-like individual! No, Gensou is even more dangerous than Orochimaru!"
Tsunade frowned even more: "Jiraiya, what do you think an old guy like him would do after going through all this trouble to come back to life?"
Now that she had transitioned from being a gambler to the Hokage, the burden on her shoulders was very heavy, and she had to consider all possibilities.
Hearing this, Jiraiya shook his head with a bitter smile: "How could I know what someone like him is thinking? I just hope that his presence doesn't cause the hard-won peace in the shinobi world to fall into chaos again."
"Just him alone?" Tsunade crossed her arms and scoffed.
How could one person conquer the entire shinobi world?
Even her grandfather couldn't do it.
Let alone Gensou, who was defeated by her grandfather.
"Kumogakure clearly doesn't think so."
Jiraiya's expression grew serious as he handed over a document from Kumogakure to Tsunade.
"Kumogakure sent an official communique, requesting a Five Kage Summit."
"A Five Kage Summit??" Tsunade was instantly stunned.
...
The same reaction came from the female Mizukage, Mei.
"A Five Kage Summit? Has the Raikage been so traumatized by Gensou that he proposed such an idea?"
Shocked by the news of Gensou's resurrection, Mei shook her head upon hearing Kumogakure's desire to convene a Five Kage Summit.
Though Kirigakure had long-standing animosity with Gensou, she had never considered calling a Five Kage Summit specifically to deal with one person.
What is a Five Kage Summit?
It is the highest-level power meeting in the shinobi world.
It had only been convened once in several decades.
That meeting established the new order of the shinobi world after the Warring States Period, which has continued to this day.
As for convening a summit to attack Gensou, it ultimately serves to maintain and perfect the established order of the shinobi world.
To convene another summit now just to deal with one person would make the Five Great Shinobi Villages look bad.
Even after three Shinobi World Wars, the collective strength of the Five Great Shinobi Villages is much stronger now than during the era of the First Hokage.
The young and spirited Fifth Mizukage, Mei, decided to put the idea of the Five Kage Summit aside and instructed: "Now, we can focus all our efforts on investigating Gensou, right?"
Her subordinates had no objections.
Although Gensou was very powerful, the village could test him countless times.
No matter how strong an individual is, they always have weaknesses.
If there are weaknesses, they can be targeted and exploited.
At that point, even gods can be killed.
This belief was firmly held by modern shinobi who had not experienced the chaos of the Warring States Period.
...
In Iwagakure.
Unlike the shock in Konoha and the aggressiveness of Kirigakure upon receiving the idea of a Five Kage Summit, Sunagakure, which had just found the body of the Fourth Kazekage, was too busy dealing with the aftermath and worrying about the selection of the Fifth Kazekage to care about external affairs.
Upon receiving the information from Kumogakure, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, fell into a long silence.
His subordinates did not urge him, patiently waiting like rocks for the leader who had guided Iwagakure for decades to think things through.
No matter what decision he made, they would execute it without question.
Such a display would be considered good by most leaders.
But Onoki, observing all this, sighed faintly.
He wished someone would step forward with their own opinion rather than just nodding in agreement.
"There's no one to succeed me!"
Onoki shook his head, continuing to bear the burden himself, placing hope in the younger generation.
Kurotsuchi seemed promising.
And Deidara...
Forget it, the rebellious disciple who betrayed the village for his so-called pursuit of art was infuriating to even mention.
A disciple who was once a candidate for the future Fourth Tsuchikage chose to defect for the sake of art.
In over seventy years of life, Onoki had never encountered such an oddity.
"Tsuchikage-sama..."
At this moment, his son Kitsuchi, after much thought, cautiously asked what they should do next.
What to do?
Onoki's eyes suddenly lit up, asking a question that no one expected:
"Do we have any news on the whereabouts of the Hagoromo clan?"
