At this Five Kage Conference, these small matters were secondary. The most explosive news was not that Ohnoki admitted that he had colluded with the Akatsuki organization, but that he had hired these rebellious ninjas in non-war times in order to alleviate the problems caused by the village's lack of combat readiness.

The biggest scandal is undoubtedly that the Fourth Mizukage Yagura is actually a puppet controlled by the Akatsuki organization.

Apart from the Hidden Mist Village, only a very small number of Konoha's high-ranking officials had some guesses about this major accident.

The Kage, the most honorable figure in the ninja world, was actually controlled by a rebel ninja organization, and the Hidden Mist Village, one of the five major ninja villages, also became a plaything of others.

The real threat forced the self-inflated ninja villages to calm down and consider joining forces to fight the enemy.

As long as they were willing to form an alliance, the subsequent negotiations on the details would naturally go more smoothly, and the previously tense situation would be somewhat restrained. However, the noisy voices became louder and louder because of the bargaining.

The situation is developing in a good direction, and the initiators of the Five Kage Tournament, the leader of the Iron Kingdom Mifune, and the Fifth Hokage Tsunade are also very pleased.

…

On the vast ocean, in the waters northeast of the Fire Kingdom, near the southeast of the Thunder Kingdom, a foggy island sits in the blue sea.

If you look closely, a ninja with good eyesight will find that the island is not stationary, but is drifting slowly along the ocean current.

It is obvious that this island is not ordinary, and it is not even a simple floating island formed naturally. Instead, it is a giant turtle of incredible size, on whose back many things have been attached for who knows how many years, and finally formed a living island.

Mizuki knew that such a strange creature existed.

Considering the size of this giant turtle, perhaps only the slug fairy living in the Wet Bone Forest can compare with this giant turtle in size.

It was precisely because of the knowledge of the existence of such a giant turtle that Mizuki came to the conclusion that the power level of the ninja world was constantly declining and even the space was getting smaller and smaller.

If it were not the case, it would be hard to believe that such a super-large creature would be born in this world.

Just imagine what kind of environment is needed to feed such a giant turtle with such a large body.

Since this species exists, there must be more than one. If there are more of these giants, and they devour the entire ninja world, they may not be able to sustain the survival of this group of giant turtles.

But now that it was clear that the species existed, and only one was known, there had to be a reasonable explanation.

If there are only one or two giant turtles like this in the vast ocean, they can still be accommodated.

Shuimu once had a sudden idea that this giant turtle might find it too troublesome to find food in the ocean, so it might as well build an ecosystem on its body and raise some super-large creatures on itself, which is equivalent to having an inexhaustible rice bowl for food.

The gorillas, elephants, and other creatures that live on its back are already huge compared to the outside world, but they are still insignificant compared to a turtle as big as an island.

Although this is just Shuimu's guess, it also provides evidence for some of Shuimu's theories.

Although this group of giant turtles are huge in size, they lack intelligence.

When creatures that were much smaller and weaker than him were able to build their own so-called holy land for spiritual beasts - a refuge, these wild beasts that were only slightly larger in size died out silently. Perhaps this Giant Turtle Island was the final proof of the existence of this species.

Now, Mizuki didn't know whether this big guy was tamed by the Hidden Cloud Village and turned into a psychic ninja beast, or they reached an agreement to form a symbiotic relationship.

Of course, these are not very important. As long as it is not a disaster like the Infinite Tsukuyomi that affects all creatures in the ninja world, no creature will cause trouble for it, and no one will be willing to hurt it.

It's really hard to find such a good place that is so hidden and not very dangerous.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yumoto, who are now hidden in the Hidden Cloud Village, have temporarily left the village because the Raikage has to attend the Five Kage Conference. The Kumokage Gorge is not a safe place at the moment, so they have to temporarily move to this safer secret place.

In the vast ocean, nothing is more difficult to find than an island that changes its position all the time.

However, nothing is absolute. Konoha Village had long known about the active activities of Kakuzu and Hidan in this generation. So when Might Guy and his three students had been floating on the sea for a long time and suddenly found a place to settle down, they couldn't help but cry with joy.

The originally full of energy of Might Guy and the youthful and passionate Rock Lee now had no trace of blood on their faces.

"It's rare to be so seasick that you faint to this extent."

Ever since Rock Lee revealed his problem of seasickness, Might Guy and Rock Lee did a lot of training in this area. The only result was that they found that Might Guy was more seasick than Rock Lee. After a period of special training, neither of them made any progress, but became even more seasick.

"It's inevitable that ninjas have strengths and weaknesses, but I didn't expect that a physical idiot would be knocked out so easily by seasickness."

Looking at the two green figures, one big and one small, lying on the beach, Hyuga Neji couldn't help but sigh.

"Teacher Kai, were you this seasick before?"

"It seems I have, but I haven't been on a boat for a long time, so I can't remember clearly."

Might Guy said a few words weakly and could not help turning over and retching. The food in his stomach, along with the stomach acid, had long been vomited out. There was nothing left but waves of discomfort from his stomach and intestines.

"But where is this place? It doesn't seem to be marked on the map!"

Tiantian took out a large sheepskin map and spread it out on the ground, slowly looking for the specific location of the group.

Hyuga Neji also cautiously opened his Byakugan and observed everything nearby, but the island seemed a little big, and he could only barely see a corner of it with the Byakugan's observation ability.

"There's nothing unusual around here, and no chakra reactions, but there are surprisingly many giant creatures on the island, and many of them look dangerous."

Circles of rock and stone thorns radiate outward in a strange pattern, making the island look like a hedgehog protected by spikes. In this thorny forest, something has also attracted Hyuga Neji's attention...

"It looks like someone has been here. I'm not sure if it was done by a ninja or by some smarter beast on the island, but we should still be careful."
