Hokage assistant Sarutobi Hiruzen kept telling Tsunade that she had to protect Konoha's interests at the Five Kage Conference and maintain the dignity of the Hokage, etc. Tsunade ignored him the whole time, twirling her hair with her fingers, looking down on the ground for ants, but her vision was blocked and she found nothing.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not put on too much airs as the former Hokage, but only passed on his experience to his apprentice from the perspective of a teacher. Jiraiya was also passing on his own experience, and he quietly handed the new publication he had worked so hard on to Duke and Minato, who took it without leaving any trace.
A knowing smile x3!
The three of them were doing shameful things, but they were talking about serious things to cover it up.
"Naruto's training in Nine-Tails Mode went quite smoothly. He has a natural affinity for the tailed beasts. How should I put it... Not bad!" Minato was very proud in his heart, but his face had a regretful expression as if to say, 'My son is not good enough, he only got 99 points'.
"I take back what I said before, Naruto is not a fool, he is a genius!" Jiraiya's face was bitter, and after adjusting his mood, he said with relief.
Duke could clearly sense the depression in Jiraiya's tone, or rather the sour envy and jealousy.
Gaara's followers are Temari and Kankuro, who are at the jonin level, and at best elite jonin; Tsunade's followers are more powerful, Duke and Minato, any one of them can kill the other in seconds.

After Nagato, Minato, and Duke, he was once again surpassed by his apprentice.
The five major ninja villages have long-standing grievances. The conflicts and interests involved are too deep and complicated to be resolved by sitting down and playing a few rounds of mahjong. This is indeed the case. From the first war to the third war, the grievances between the villages have been long-standing. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Uchiha Madara, the Kages would have met on the battlefield.
The Iron Country! A country covered by snow all year round, without ninjas, and absolutely neutral. Among the five great countries, it borders the Fire Country, and is close to the Lightning Country and the Earth Country.
Tsunade was also convinced of this. As soon as she left the village, she put the Hokage's little red hat on Minato's head and hurried to the Iron Kingdom. If you don't know, you might think that the Fourth Hokage was traveling with two girls at public expense!
But in the end, it turned out that the disciple he least expected, the least talented, and the least intelligent, would be the one with the highest achievement.
The five major ninja villages form a ninja coalition. No problem. It's easy to do. It's just a matter of a word.
Tsunade's eyes flashed with admiration. There were still people among the Five Kage who were concerned about the safety of the Ninja Realm. She nodded readily, "That's exactly what I meant. It seems that Lord Kazekage and I have the same idea."
He was just a stupid psychic tadpole at the beginning, why did he become so powerful?
There are no ninjas in the Iron Kingdom. The armed forces guarding the country are called samurai. In Duke's view, these samurai who are clad in strong armor and fight with swords and chakra are essentially physical ninjas. When they claim that there are no ninjas, they simply don't use ninjutsu.
Don't ask why, he has someone above him! When a village leader leaves the village, his whereabouts need to be kept secret, otherwise the Fourth Kazekage would be a precedent. However, with Duke and his three men, keeping it secret doesn't seem to be that important.
…
"I'm here to form an alliance with Lord Hokage!" Although Temari and Kankuro were desperately trying to exchange glances, Gaara still directly stated his purpose. He was a good village chief, but definitely not a good politician.
If Duke knew what Jiraiya was thinking, he would definitely sneer at him. How dare he say that Naruto has no talent?
Nagato surpassed him because of his extraordinary bloodline and the possession of the Rinnegan. Nagato was destined to become a top ninja, and he had nothing to say; Minato surpassed him because of the double suppression of intelligence and appearance. In comparison, he only had the material he could show off, and there was nothing much to say; Duke surpassed him, but that was... that was an unsolved mystery that Orochimaru didn't understand either. It can only be said that he was born eccentric and cannot be explained by science; as for Naruto, God had pity on him. Jiraiya didn't associate Naruto with the child of destiny from the beginning. He accepted Naruto mostly to give face to Minato and Duke.
If Naruto had no talent, then the entire ninja world would be full of mediocre people. If he had not been delayed by the Nine-Tails in the early days, Hashirama Senju would have been his career model.
The reason is simple! Naruto's progress far exceeded his expectations. After laying a solid foundation, he took off rapidly as if he had turned on a cheat. Now Naruto with full firepower can beat him with one hand.
The six of them were traveling together, and the difference between them was immediately apparent when compared.
What worries Tsunade and Minato the most is not the conflicts between the villages. From a political point of view, as long as the interests are sufficient, there are no eternal enemies, and of course there are no eternal allies.
Those who can become Hokage all have good strategic vision. Minato and Tsunade both have unique insights into the overall situation. They are not optimistic about the upcoming Five Kage Summit.
The deeper he went into the country, the more Duke liked it. It was simply because it was cold.
Didn't the Fourth Hokage die? He was wearing a Hokage hat, so who is the boss of Konoha now?
"Hokage-sama, I have been waiting for a long time."
The disciple has become successful, and as a teacher, he should be happy, but... this is exactly what makes Jiraiya depressed!
Gaara is wearing a green hat, which symbolizes the Kazekage. Seeing that he has no joy or sadness on his face, he is probably unwilling to wear it. Because once he wears this hat, Naruto and him will have nothing to do with each other in the future.
Along the way, Duke acted very relaxed, as if he didn't care no matter what happened, which was in stark contrast to Minato and Tsunade, whose brows were furrowed like a river. However, he was always heartless, so Minato and Tsunade were not surprised.
Jiraiya is becoming more and more confused about the ninja world. He feels like he is just a human experience package, and a novice can soar to the sky after receiving it.
But just because he knows doesn't mean Minato and Tsunade know.
Gaara looked normal, but Temari and Kankuro were very uncomfortable. When they saw Minato, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.
However, since it is a coalition army, who will be the commander-in-chief of the coalition army? Who will be responsible for logistics? How will the troops be deployed? How will the merits be distributed? Who will get the biggest share of the spoils? This is not a question of whether to fight or not, but you must fight, and you must fight. Otherwise, if you have no say, you will go to the battlefield hungry when the war breaks out! I can only say that Madara is not ruthless enough. If he had directly destroyed a ninja village, there would be no such moths.
Honestly speaking, Duke had no interest in participating in the Five Kage Conference. Whether it was the ninja world in the original work or the ninja world today, the alliance of the five major ninja villages was an inevitable trend and there was nothing to worry about.
In order to avoid being criticized, the two groups separated and continued to move towards the Five Kage Summit venue.
In the weird atmosphere, Tsunade and Gaara reached a secret deal. Only Tsunade and Gaara knew the specific content. Looking at the smug smile on Tsunade's face, you can tell that she is not the one who suffers the loss.
"So it's Lord Kazekage. I wonder why you're waiting for us?"
If the winner in life, Kato Dan, had not set a flag back then, Tsunade's grandson would probably be the same age as Gaara. However, age is age, and in terms of status, Gaara and Tsunade are equal, and due respect should still be given.
Three days later, the group arrived at the Iron Country and met the three Kazekage siblings from the Sand Village. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time, specifically targeting Duke and the other two.
The wind and snow blew, and the view was an endless expanse of frost and snow, but this did not affect Duke and the other two, and they soon arrived at their destination. A heavily guarded military fortress, from a distance, one could sense a guard every five steps and a battalion every ten steps.
No matter what, interests are a hurdle that can never be overcome.
At the gate of the fortress, the Iron Country General Mifune stood in the wind and snow. Even though he could not use ninjutsu, this old man was one of the strong men in the ninja world. In terms of seniority, he was of the same generation as Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Obviously, Mifune and Tsunade knew each other before, and he was probably Tsunade's creditor, or had been Tsunade's creditor. It was no exaggeration to say that Tsunade's creditors were all over the ninja world. She owed money to anyone with a name and surname, and she used a credit loan.
Mifune greeted Tsunade and the other two and brought them directly to the conference building. In the conference hall, the other four Kage had already arrived. There was no such thing as taking a two-day break before a meeting. Ninjas were punctual creatures and were extremely purposeful. This was a professional quality formed after years of missions.
Tsunade walked to the seat with the word "Fire" written on it and sat down. Minato also placed the bamboo hat representing the Hokage in front of Tsunade. His appearance made the scene quiet.
