Ino had never imagined that there were still people in this world capable of using the Samsara Eye. Her eyes widened slightly as she took in the revelation.
Naruto turned to Sai, his expression serious. "These are enemies from outside our territory. They're heading toward Earth as we speak."
"What?!" Sai immediately slammed his hand on the table, standing up in shock. "Then we must inform the Hokage immediately and call the ninja coalition to respond!"
Naruto raised a hand with a calm smile. "Don't rush. Sit down first. We haven't reached that stage yet. Sasuke just projected what he saw for you. I want you to draw accurate representations of these two enemies. Once that's done, we'll take the portraits to Teacher Kakashi and hold a meeting directly."
Sai's eyes lit up with understanding. "Ah! I see! Okay, Naruto, I understand. I'll do it."
He turned to Ino and asked her to bring over all drawing boards, paints, brushes, and paper. Sai wanted to ensure the portraits were flawless—every detail of their faces, expressions, and menacing aura captured accurately.
Naruto and Sasuke watched silently, sipping tea, careful not to disturb Sai's meticulous work.
Sai painted with painstaking precision. One misplaced stroke could ruin the likeness, and Sai knew the importance of this task.
After completing the drawings, he held them out to Naruto. "Look, Naruto. I've colored them exactly as they are!"
Naruto examined the portraits carefully. Nodding in approval, he said, "Sai, as expected, these are perfect. Incredible work. The resemblance is uncanny!"
Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly as he studied the drawings. "Impressive. The details… they're lifelike. You've captured every nuance."
Sai's skill was undeniable. The portraits weren't just drawings—they were almost living representations of Kinshiki and Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki.
Naruto held the portraits firmly. "Sai, thank you for your help. We need to take these to Kakashi now and convene a meeting."
Sai immediately replied, "I'm coming with you. I want to see how else I can be of help."
Ino stepped forward as well. "I'll come too!"
Naruto nodded. "Of course. Since we're going to the Hokage office anyway, we can go together."
"Then let's go!" Naruto said.
Sai and Ino quickly tidied up Sai's home and followed Naruto and Sasuke toward the Hokage office building.
Along the way, Ino asked curiously, "Naruto, if these enemies are approaching from outside the territory and you've trained the ninja coalitions across the villages, why not mobilize them now?"
Sai looked on, equally curious.
Naruto smiled faintly. "This isn't a threat that requires the coalitions yet. Sasuke and I are capable of handling these two ourselves. The larger armies will need to be deployed later, when the real threat arrives. Until then, we don't need to alarm anyone prematurely."
Sai and Ino nodded, understanding his reasoning.
By nightfall, they reached the Hokage office building. Naruto knocked firmly, and the door opened.
Inside, Shizune and Kakashi were chatting and laughing casually. The moment they noticed Naruto, Sasuke, Sai, and Ino entering together, Kakashi's instincts immediately warned him that something serious was underway. After all, he knew his students well enough to sense when trouble had arrived.
"What's going on, Naruto?" Kakashi asked cautiously.
Naruto nodded, holding up the portraits. "Teacher Kakashi, we need to convene a Hokage Conference immediately, followed by a Five Kage Conference. This is urgent."
Kakashi and Shizune exchanged serious glances. They immediately understood the gravity of the situation—the Hokage Conference was being called on unusually short notice.
"What's the matter, Naruto?" Shizune asked.
Naruto stepped forward and handed over the two portraits Sai had drawn.
Kakashi examined them carefully, his single eye widening slightly behind his mask. Shizune, standing nearby, also covered her mouth in surprise. The faces of the Ōtsutsuki clan members—their eyes, their expressions, the sheer menace radiating from them—were unmistakable.
Raising his head, Kakashi fixed Naruto with a sharp gaze. "Naruto… these are enemies from outside the territory? Kinshiki and Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki?"
Naruto nodded solemnly. "That's correct."
Sasuke, standing calmly with his arms crossed, added with a faint smile, "Kakashi, I didn't expect you to see it like this firsthand."
Naruto tilted his head slightly, admonishing him softly. "Sasuke, show some respect to Teacher Kakashi."
Sasuke merely snorted and said nothing further.
Kakashi ignored his rudeness. He had grown accustomed to Sasuke's behavior over the years and focused on the matter at hand.
"Naruto, explain how you discovered them," Kakashi prompted.
Naruto was about to speak when Sasuke interjected, slightly irritated. "No need to waste time. Kakashi, look into my eyes."
Kakashi's Sharingan was already activated, having replaced his left eye. Sasuke immediately used his Mangekyō Sharingan to project a vivid Genjutsu scene directly into Kakashi's eye, allowing him to experience the moment Naruto and Sasuke had discovered the Ōtsutsuki.
In an instant, Kakashi was transported into the scene. He felt the rush of energy, the tension, and the overwhelming threat emanating from Kinshiki and Momoshiki. His chest tightened with the realism of the projection.
Breathing deeply, Kakashi awoke from the Genjutsu. He looked at Sasuke with a nod of approval. "I see… this projection… your Genjutsu is remarkable. On par with your brother Itachi's techniques."
Satisfied, Kakashi turned to Shizune. "Notify Konoha's top officials immediately. Have them assemble in the Hokage office for an emergency meeting."
Shizune nodded swiftly and departed without hesitation.
Within fifteen minutes, Konoha's leadership had gathered in the conference room. Tsunade was absent due to her pregnancy, so Jiraiya had come in her place.
"Naruto, what's happening?" Jiraiya asked, concern flickering across his face as he recognized the urgency in Naruto's expression.
Naruto replied calmly, "An enemy from outside the territory has appeared."
Jiraiya's expression immediately darkened. "So soon? Naruto, I thought…"
Naruto smiled awkwardly. "I'm not sure, Master Jiraiya. Perhaps because of my rebirth, many things have shifted, causing them to arrive earlier than expected."
Jiraiya inhaled deeply and placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll stand with you and face this threat."
Naruto smiled, reassured. "Thanks, Pervy Sage. Sasuke and I can handle these two for now. The larger threat will come later."
Jiraiya nodded, accepting Naruto's certainty as truth.
Kakashi began the emergency meeting. "Everyone, I know this meeting was called suddenly. The reason should be clear."
He motioned to Shizune, who nodded and distributed the portraits of Kinshiki and Momoshiki.
Kakashi explained the situation briefly, emphasizing the imminent threat and the need for full preparation. The top executives and shinobi leaders studied the portraits carefully, their faces growing grim as the reality of the Ōtsutsuki threat sank in.
Every detail of the portraits—the intimidating presence, the unique chakra signature, and the terrifying Rinnegan—left no doubt in their minds. This was a threat Konoha had never faced before, and the urgency of preparation was palpable.
