In the end, Tsunade agreed to use heart pulse suspended therapy on Kakashi and also played the performance with Jiraiya.
So there was the scene that Naruto and Sasuke saw.
The news of Kakashi's death was actually only circulated between Team 7.
Fugaku and Mikoto are told by Tsunade to stay silent.
After all, if the news of Kakashi's death spreads, it will cause a very bad impact on Konoha.
If Konoha's most powerful combat power on the bright surface disappeared, the other Shinobi Villages might start causing trouble.
Therefore, in order to avoid this troublesome situation, Tsunade did not publicize the news.
And it is not necessary.
Kakashi told Tsunade about his guess, and Tsunade fell silent after hearing this.
"You mean, there is someone behind Pain who manipulates him?" Tsunade asked.
Kakashi nodded and said: "Yeah, and this person is very likely to be the one who caused the Kyūbi's attack back then."
"Yes. Itachi is now spying in the Akatsuki, and he told me that in the Akatsuki, there is a mysterious man with a spiral mask. His right eye is a Sharingan, and he has a strange Space Ninjutsu. Moreover, it was him who took Itachi to the Akatsuki back then. He calls himself Madara. Even Pain is also very respectful towards him. So I think that there is a connection between the two. After all, if he is really Madara, he will definitely not be Pain's subordinate, and it is more likely that he has a cooperative relationship with Pain."
Tsunade fell into silence for while and then muttered softly: "He call himself Madara? If that is true, I am afraid that Konoha alone can't deal with him."
Tsunade is the granddaughter of the Shodaime Hokage. And she also knows how strong her grandfather was.
That strength is definitely not a height that mortals can easily reach.
Even if the today five Kage are added together, they still won't be an opponent to Shodaime Hokage.
And Madara, which to be said an equal to Shodaime Hokage, is definitely a terrifying enemy.
"That's right, not to mention the Akatsuki probably has already caught six or seven Bijū. With a Rinnegan user, Uchiha Madara, and seven Bijū, this is definitely a terrifying combination. It's absolutely impossible to resist it with Konoha alone. ""
"You mean that the Five Great Shinobi Villages need to be united?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes, this is the only way to fight the Akatsuki now."
"But there are still gaps between the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Sunagakure and Kirigakure have a good relationship with us and may agree to it. However, the gap between Kumogakure and Konoha is not small. Moreover, you seriously injured the Yondaime Raikage back then. I'm afraid that it is not a small trouble. Moreover, Iwagakure'ss Sandaime Tsuchikage is also a slick old man, and it is not easy to convince him," Tsunade said.
"This is not a problem. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. This is especially true between Shinobi Villages. Like you said, there is no big problem with Sunagakure and Kirigakure. Even if the Yondaime Raikage has a violent personality, he is still very clear about the situation. He won't bring the hatred from the past battle into the village. Moreover, back then, I was merciful to him. Even if he didn't care about this favor, he will not have much hatred against us."
"As for the Tsuchikage, you also said that he is a slick old man. This kind of person values profits the most. If the Four Great Shinobi Villages are united, he definitely won't dare to be alone. Unless he is not afraid of being isolated by the Four Great Shinobi Villages, but it is almost impossible. After all, even Konoha at its peak didn't have the confidence to be in one-to-four situation. Even if it is a false union, he will definitely participate."
Kakashi told Tsunade about his analysis, and after Tsunade listened to it, she nodded repeatedly.
After listening to what Kakashi said, she felt that the union of the Five Great Shinobi Villages is not a difficult task.
What they lacked is just an opportunity.
"According to what you said, is the Five Great Shinobi Villages going to be united soon?"
"Yes, this day will not be too far away."
"Do you need me to initiate the Five Kage Summit?"
Kakashi shook his head and said, "No need. The timing hasn't arrived yet."
"The Yondaime Raikage has a very good relationship with the Hachibi's Jinchūriki, Killer B. As long as the Akatsuki attacks Killer B, it will inevitably arouse the anger from the Yondaime Raikage. At that time, you don't need to initiate the Five Kage Summit, as the Yondaime Raikage will take the initiative to initiate it. If that happened, we can get the advantage."
"It makes sense, but if Hachibi is captured, Akatsuki's threat will become even more terrifying."
Hearing this, Kakashi smiled and said: "Hachibi will not be captured."
Tsunade looked at Kakashi strangely when she heard Kakashi's words, and said, "Why are you so sure?"
"Because the one responsible for capturing Hachibi is Itachi!"
Tsunade was stunned when she heard this.
'If Itachi was responsible for capturing Hachibi, he certainly would not let Hachibi to fall into Akatsuki's hands.'
The previous seven Bijū can be given up, but only Hachibi and Kyūbi are the bargaining chips that must not be easily given up.
Not to mention the importance of Killer B and Naruto, the combination of Hachibi and Kyūbi will not lose to the seven other Bijū.
It must be said that when the Sage of Six Paths distribute the Bijū's Chakra, he is very favoring Hachibi and Kyūbi.
Of course, this is especially true for Kyūbi.
Judging from the situation of the original work, the complete Kyūbi can directly confront all of the eight Bijū at once.
"What are you going to do next?" Tsunade asked.
"I'm afraid that Pain won't give up easily. Both I and Jiraiya-sama left Amegakure with serious injuries. This is a good opportunity for Pain. He may choose to capture Kyūbi directly. So, for his next step, it is very likely that he will directly invade Konoha and capture Naruto. With that said, we have to be prepared."
"Does he really dare to fight Konoha by himself?" Tsunade said in disbelief.
Even if the other party has Rinnegan, Tsunade doesn't feel that the other party would have the strength to do that.
After all, even if Konoha now is not as strong as in its prime, but its strength is definitely among the top between the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Kakashi chuckled and said: "Pain claims to be a God, so there is nothing he didn't dare to do. Moreover, he is indeed very strong."
"Since you say that, I should start preparing our defense."
Tsunade finally decided to believe in Kakashi. After all, if this really happened, it would cost Konoha a terrible price.
If nothing happened, they can just regard it as an exercise as it didn't hurt them.
Kakashi just nodded after hearing this.
"By the way, Kakashi, what are you going to do about the integration of Ochagakure into Konoha?" Tsunade asked.
Not long ago, Kakashi told Tsunade about this.
The Ochagakure's strength cannot be underestimated.
In addition to the war orphans, there is also the Hatake Clan in Ochagakure.
In terms of the overall strength, although Ochagakure is still not comparable to the Five Great Shinobi Villages, it is already well-deserved to be the strongest among the small Shinobi Villages.
"This matter should be postponed after Pain's attack. Even if Ochagakure is integrated into Konoha, we can only choose to form a secret force."
"I will let you handle this matter yourself."
Kakashi nodded when he heard this.
