Powerful and perfect strength may exist in the ninja world, but it will not appear so easily.

Even Shuimu has only just found a way to become strong enough to control himself, and is still a long way from truly reaching that step.

Unable to master Yin-Yang Release, he is still one level weaker in terms of strength and cannot pose a threat to his real enemy, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

As for the theoretical possibility of using physical attacks such as taijutsu to forcibly defeat all opponents, Mizuki thought about it and decided to give up. Even Might Guy, who had activated the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, failed. With Mizuki's level of taijutsu, it was impossible for him to do it, and it was estimated that no one in the ninja world could do it.

Theoretical possibilities are, after all, just illusory wishes.

Those who do not know the truth may feel that the world is full of infinite possibilities, but when they reach the level of Shuimu, they will know that the road ahead is so narrow and full of obstacles, and it is so difficult to find the right path.

There are only a few keys that can lead you forward: fairy techniques, Yin-Yang escape, Samsara eye, and the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. The others are all insignificant and cannot determine the direction of the ninja world and control one's own destiny.

There are still many things that Mizuki needs to prepare. There are some things that are not the time to slack off. It is not too late to completely seal Otsutsuki Kaguya until the last moment.

And even if Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is defeated, it may not be the end for Mizuki.

…

After a long period of communication, the five major ninja villages, which had originally been deeply alienated from each other, finally reached a general agreement. The daimyo of the five major countries did not raise any objections, and the Five Kage Conference was going to be held as scheduled.

In spring, the season when grass grows, the Iron Kingdom is still covered with ice and snow. In this cold country, Mifune, the leader of the Iron Kingdom, has been preparing for the Five Kage Conference for a long time. The Iron Kingdom, which has always maintained neutrality and maintained the balance and order of the ninja world, is about to exercise its mission again.

The Five Kage Conference is naturally not as casual as any other meeting of leaders. The strict security and guard system has largely eliminated many people who want to take advantage of the situation.

Even the guards accompanying the Kage of the five major ninja villages are subject to strict restrictions, just to ensure that during the negotiations at the Five Kage Conference, if things don't go smoothly and lead to a fight, no real fight will come out.

Like what happened in the Hidden Cloud Village, at the signing ceremony of the alliance, the rebellious ninjas led by Kinkaku and Ginkaku actually launched a coup and killed the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. This is a lesson for us.

The Five Kage Tournament was held in the strictly neutral samurai country, the Iron Kingdom, in order to prevent such a situation from happening again.

There is not much time left before the Five Kage Conference officially opens. At this time, the Kages of the major ninja villages should set off with their guards.

In the Kingdom of Wind, Gaara, along with his brothers and sisters, Temari and Kankuro, are heading towards the Kingdom of Iron. Soon, they will leave the territory of the Kingdom of Wind.

Less than a hundred kilometers away is the battlefield where the Wind Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom have fought for so many years.

Beyond Kikyoyama Castle, which strangled countless elites from Konoha Village and Sand Village, is the jurisdiction of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire.

Just as the three of them walked forward in silence, Gaara, who was leading the group, suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Kankuro, the puppeteer, was stunned at first, then he reacted and looked at the distant sky. A black dot was flying towards this side from afar.

"What?"

Temari also realized that something was wrong, so she took off the folding fan on her back and held it horizontally in front of her.

"enemy!"

Gaara said calmly.

"That unbridled malice can be felt from a distance."

"Malice?"

Temari and Kankuro looked at each other.

Comparing perception with that of a Jinchūriki, except for non-mainstream people like Uzumaki Naruto, is indeed self-humiliating. When it comes to detecting hostility, as long as one gets along well with the tailed beasts, they are generally extremely sensitive to people who emit malicious intent towards them.

"Should we send a distress signal?"

Gaara shook his head:

"This place is too far from the Sand Village. If we need help, we can only count on the Konoha Village guards stationed in Kikyo Castle. The two countries have been allied for more than three years and there has been no war for a long time. There is no way there are any masters there!"

Those ordinary ninjas can still play a role on the battlefield, but they can't get involved in battles at the shadow level.

"Isolated and helpless?"

Kankuro looked embarrassed.

Daring to target the Kazekage who is attending the Five Kage Tournament at this time is a challenge to the order of the entire ninja world. With such a crazy move, he must be quite confident in his own strength.

"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Should we retreat temporarily?"

The bad feeling became stronger and stronger, and Temari couldn't help but advise.

"Don't act rashly. The enemy is well prepared and is absolutely certain of his victory."

"It's useless. We can't outrun them and they'll fly in the sky!"

Gaara rejected Temari's proposal.

"Get ready to fight. It's better to be here. You don't have to worry about accidentally hurting others."

Gaara is good at manipulating sand. As the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, his chakra capacity is naturally astonishingly large, and he rarely has the opportunity to fully exert his strength.

Most of the most powerful ninjutsu are large-scale attack ninjutsu. Many times, one can only restrain his hands and feet and dare not let go and use them.

"But the enemy can fly, so we can only passively take the hit. Isn't that too passive?"

"I can use sand to float in the air..."

"I know, but Temari and I can't help."

The chakra threads controlled by puppetry are limited and cannot be infinitely long. Although Temari's wind-style ninjutsu is extremely powerful, no one can tell how much power it will have after being launched into the sky and reaching high altitudes.

"Flying guys are so annoying."

Gaara looked at the enemy that was slowly approaching, and a huge two-winged bird with a pale appearance appeared, seemingly carrying someone.

"Wait on the ground. After I knock the enemy down, you catch him."

If they were on the ground, the three people would feel much more at ease. However, in the sky, that is the enemy's home ground, and the initiative is in the hands of the enemy who can move freely. Even with Gaara's strength, it would not be easy to defeat him.

But now, we can only hope that Gaara will perform normally, show the power of the Kazekage, and kill the enemy cleanly and neatly.

As the enemy approached, the figure standing on the giant clay bird suspended in mid-air finally revealed its true appearance.

"Kabuto Yakushi? And Deidara who died a long time ago, is he reincarnated? Orochimaru is already dead, what are you doing here, is it related to the Akatsuki organization?"
