This is the third time that Zhou Jian Min has come to the Land of Iron.

Just like the previous two visits, the country is always covered in snow and ice regardless of the four seasons. At a glance, it is full of whiteness, as if it can hide all filth and sin.

At this moment, sitting in the carriage, Zhou Jian Min's lap was covered with a heavy blanket, and he held a small handstove with exquisite workmanship in both hands, and he was listening to Veneto, who was sitting next to him, report to him the latest news from Konoha with a faint expression.

In fact, in the incident of Payne's attack, nothing too unexpected happened to her.

Tsunade Ji summoned slugs when Payne attacked and consumed a lot of chakra, but fortunately, his daughter Haruno Sakura also formed the seal of Hakuho at that time and summoned slug to share a lot of burden for her, otherwise Tsunade Ji would definitely fall into a coma due to weakness after the Battle of Payne.

In fact, not only Tsunade Hime, but Jiraiya and Orochimaru among the three ninja were also injured a little in the battle with Payne Rokudo.

In particular, Jiraiya, after discovering that Payne, the leader of the "Akatsuki" organization, was the body of his former student Yahiko, and it was Nagato who controlled Payne's six attacks on Konoha......

It's not always a taste in my heart.

Although he didn't show mercy because the enemy was a former disciple - after all, the other party's current goal was to destroy Konoha, but fighting the blackened former student was not something that Jiraiya could easily let go.

Fortunately, Naruto finally convinced Nagato, but I don't know what kind of expression Jiraiya will show when he hears Nagato's words after being told by Naruto.

In fact, in the incident of Payne's attack, Konoha suffered no small losses at all.

If Nagato hadn't used the Innate Technique of Reincarnation in the end, Bo Feng Shuimen might have lost his last surviving student.

Of course, it's not just the Hokage's Bo Feng Shuimon, more families in Konoha will be shattered as a result, and more ninjas will lose their friends.

Therefore, for the three Naruto who defeated Payne and said that Nagato was moved, the villagers of Konoha must be grateful.

"Because Payne used the HRE Celestial Expedition, 85% of the land in the center of Konoha has been razed to the ground, but fortunately, the Konoha high-level leaders led by the four generations are still alive, and the villagers are also spontaneously carrying out repair work."

"Now under the leadership of the four generations, most of the functions in Konoha have been restored."

This is also expected by Zhou Jian Min, after all, Konoha is not without experience in this area.

I don't know if it's Bo Feng Shuimon's bad luck, not a few years after he became the fourth Hokage - that is, when his wife gave birth, Konoha was attacked by a masked man who didn't want to reveal his real name and didn't want to show his face, but was actually another apprentice of his who was still alive, but he didn't expect that now his son was about to be able to take charge on his own......

Konoha was actually hit by his brother again.

Fortunately, the daimyos, nobles, and high-ranking officials of the Fire Nation didn't know about the twists and turns, otherwise would the fourth generation Hokage of Bo Feng Shuimon still be able to continue to serve safely and smoothly......

That's two words.

"There's a water gate on Konoha and three generations there, so there's no need to worry about some things," Zhou Jian Min said indifferently, not knowing if he was upset by the thought of what might happen in the future, "Speaking of which, has she already received the letter I asked you to hand over to Fuso?" ”

Veneto nodded, "Fuso has already given Sakura everything she needs according to what Kanto-sama wanted. ”

When Zhou Jian Min first came to this world, it happened that Konoha was attacked by the masked man, and Zhou Jian Min, who was regarded by the people of the True Boat family as seriously ill and recuperated in the True Zhou family, taught Bai Lan and Tan Qi the relevant countermeasures, and another thing he did was ......

Donation.

Now that Konoha has suffered such a large-scale disaster - although the mortality rate of personnel has miraculously become zero due to Nagato, the damage to the house - especially some public facilities to repair is also a huge expense.

Zhou Jian Wen is not in Konoha Village at the moment, but this does not mean that the real Zhou family can say nothing.

Especially when the adopted daughter of Zhou Jian Min, in the cognition of everyone in the Zhen Zhou family, Haruno Sakura, who has long been able to become the new head of the Zhen Zhou family after a hundred years of Zhou Jian Min, is also in Konoha Village at this moment, so it is reasonable to let Haruno Sakura come forward instead of Zhou Jian Min.

And just like back then, on the night of Konoha being attacked by Payne, he also repaired a letter and sent it to Akagi to Daimyo Castle, and the content of the letter was the same as that of that year.

As for how the daimyo would react, he didn't know or care.

After all, after a while, whether it is a daimyō, a nobleman, or an official—it will no longer be able to interfere in the next matter.

Because, the Fourth Ninja World War is about to break out.

Zhou Jian Min knew that the time she could continue to stay in this world was running out, and although she was able to write a letter to Fuso to come forward for her this time, the Mashu family still had to be handed over to Sakura Haruno in the end.

Now that the opportunity is rare, it can also make her start to get used to this kind of thing little by little.

The carriage slowly arrived at their destination, the castle where Mifune, the great general of the Iron Country, lived, in contemplation of the future arrangement.

Mifune, who had already received a letter from the Funaken Minkai Kai who had recently visited him, had been waiting outside early in the morning, and now he saw the carriage with the "green clouds and water octagonal pattern" tattooed on the Mafune family slowly approaching and stopping, and the samurai under Mifune's command immediately greeted him.

"Inside the car, it's the real boat of the Fire Country?"

Although they knew who was sitting in the car, the samurai who greeted them asked anyway.

Getting the nod of Zhou Jian Min, Akagi, who was sitting near the car door, immediately opened the curtain and got out of the car first, and Zhou Jian Wen was also carefully helped out of the car by Veneto after that, "There are a few people." ”

As Mifune's henchmen, these samurai all knew the appearance of Zhou Jian Wen and her henchmen, and now they didn't feel the chakra on Zhou Jian Min's body, and heard Zhou Jian Wen's gentle and polite answer as always, and those people immediately confirmed that the person who came was Zhou Jian Wen.

Led by several samurai, the people slowly entered the brick and stone city.

Due to the fact that it is covered in ice and snow all year round, the resources of the Iron Country are inherently insufficient, and this brick and stone city is completely in line with the cold and dark image of the Iron Country.

The four of them followed the samurai who led the way, but they found that from the gate, the guards along the way were much stricter than the last time they came, that is, three years ago, and they knew it in their hearts.

"Please don't mind," as if he saw that Zhou Jian Min and a few people were looking at the samurai who were on guard duty along the way, the person leading the way said slowly through a special mask, "Because the Five Shadows Council is about to be held here, Mifune-sama ordered to strengthen the vigilance." ”

Zhou Jianwen, who had long known about the Five Shadows Talks, smiled and replied gently, "It's okay. ”

The person who led the way would reveal the matter of the Five Shadows Meeting because he knew that the Lord of the Mafune family behind him had a close relationship with Mifune, and he was a person with a high status in Konoha Village and even in the Fire Country, as long as she had a heart, the Five Shadows Meeting or something was not a secret to her at all.

But seeing that Zhou Jian Wen did not continue to ask any more questions about the Five Shadows Talks, the warrior couldn't help but look at Zhou Jian Wen a little higher in his heart.

People who know how to advance and retreat are always more likely to be praised.

Following the samurai to the lounge where Mifune received the guests, Mifune, who had received the news that Funaken had arrived, couldn't help but smile so shallow that it was almost imperceptible when he saw the appearance of Funaken.

As the general of the Iron Country, Mifune has always been a person of self-denial and revenge. But in the face of a master who can defeat himself in swordsmanship and can make him feel sorry for him, Mifune will not put up too much of a shelf.

"Long time no see, Mr. Mifune."

The samurai who led the way retreated after giving a report to Mifune, and the next person who entered the house was Funaken Min, who walked behind him, and she smiled and greeted the samurai, who had become a friend of her unexpectedly, and then entered the house at the invitation of the other party.

Not long after Zhou Jian Wen sat down, someone brought hot drinks and snacks.

"It's been a long time, Miss Jianwen," Mifune sighed as he looked at Zhou Jianwen, who looked as always, "Looking at Miss Jianwen today, I sometimes have the illusion that time seems to have not passed." ”

Zhou Jianwen chuckled, picked up the hot tea and blew softly, and then after taking a small sip, she slowly continued, "But time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, the peace that has been maintained for more than ten years will be broken again." ”

Mifune naturally knew what Zhou Jian Wen wanted to say, and he couldn't help but sigh after hearing Zhou Jian Min's words, who had recently received an application to hold the Five Shadows Talks.

"Yes, who would have thought that it was just a mercenary group at the beginning, and in the end, it would turn the five major powers upside down."

It can only be said that the world is unpredictable.

Naturally, Mifune's finger is the fact that in recent months, the "Akatsuki" organization has frequently captured the tailed orcs in various villages, which is also the reason why the Five Shadows Meeting was held, but he didn't know that the Fourth Ninja World War would be held soon.

Zhou Jianwen, who had already read the script, nodded, and then seemed to think of something, and then showed a mocking chuckle.

"If I'm not mistaken, the one who proposed to hold the Five Shadows Conference should be the current Thunder Shadow, right?"

In fact, even if she hadn't read the script in advance, with her understanding of today's Five Shadows, this Five Shadows meeting would only be proposed by Lei Ying.

Mifune, who had long known that Zhou Jianwen had the ability to anticipate things like a god, nodded, "His Royal Highness Thunder Shadow is very persistent, but the other four shadows didn't refuse after receiving the application from the Five Shadows Conference." ”

"The Thunder Shadow Society proposed to convene the Five Shadows Conference, which is nothing more than because the two tails and eight tails of Yunyin Village were captured by the "Xiao" organization."

Zhou Jian Wen seemed to sneer as she spoke, and then slowly said with some speculations based on her understanding of Thunder Shadow, "After the Erwei human pillar force was captured earlier, there was not the slightest movement in Yunyin Village, in addition to despising the "Xiao" organization, he also wanted to solve it by himself for the sake of face. ”

"After his younger brother also fell into the clutches of the Xiao organization, he remembered to find other villages, didn't he think it was too late."

In Mifune's opinion, Zhou Jianwen's opinion was not wrong at all, and the unscrupulousness of the "Xiao" organization in recent months had even been heard of by him in a neutral country, not to mention the five major countries that were targeted by the "Xiao" organization because of their human power.

Mifune, who had also guessed the reason why Lei Ying insisted on holding the Five Shadows Conference earlier, couldn't help but sigh, "Now that he can think of holding the Five Shadows Conference, it's not too late." ”

"You don't know the current Thunder Shadow's character," Zhou Jian couldn't help but sneer at the thought of Thunder Shadow's violent temper, "You really think that he is here to ask for assistance and plan to let the five major powers join forces to resist the "Akatsuki" organization?" ”

Saying this, Zhou Jian Min shook his head without waiting for Mifune to answer, and then continued to talk to himself.

"With Lei Ying's character, the convening of the Five Shadows Conference this time is just to ask the teacher for guilt."

Mifune, who originally thought that Lei Ying was planning to convene the Five Shadows Conference on how to deal with the "Xiao" organization, couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked with some confusion, "Xingshi asks for guilt?" ”

"It is now clear that there are those members of the Xiao organization, for Yunyin Village, instead of rebelling to join the Xiao organization, they were captured by the Xiao organization, one of whom is even Lei Ying's younger brother," Zhou Jian Wen took another sip of hot tea to ward off the cold he had received before, "You said that Lei Ying can not be in a hurry." ”

Except for Konoha and Sunagakure, who are allies in the five major countries, the relationship between several other countries has always been delicate.

Even though many years have passed since the Third Shinobi War, it can be said that there is almost no contact between several villages in normal times, and the shadows of each village, especially the grumpy Thunder Shadow and the old stubborn Tsuchikage, are even more hostile to the other villages.

"With what I know about the current Thunder Shadow and Tsuchikage, it's very rare that they can calmly sit down and talk to the other three Shadows about how to deal with the Akatsuki organization."

"Thunder Shadow, who has not joined the "Akatsuki" organization, will probably uphold his violent temper and pose as a victim to ask several other Shadows for explanations; And the village has no tailed beasts, and the stubborn Tsuchikage himself intends to stay out of it. ”

Mifune thought that this was really the character of Thunder Shadow, and couldn't help but sigh again.

"According to Miss Jianwen, the Five Shadows Conference after this ...... Inevitably, there will be a confrontation. ”

In fact, Mifune also knew that he was talking implicitly, according to Zhou Jianwen, where was the next Five Shadows Conference used to solve the problem? It's basically a place for the shadows of the five great powers to quarrel.

Mifune, who could basically think of what kind of scene would happen after the Five Shadows Conference was held, suddenly felt a little headache, "According to Miss Jianwen's meaning, this Five Shadows Conference will not draw any conclusions?" ”

If in the final analysis, this Five Shadows Conference is only used to quarrel with the five people who are now standing at the highest point of the ninja world, then it is better not to hold it.

saved those people from arguing and fighting, and finally they didn't agree and fought.

If these people fight, then this Five Shadows Talks may become the guide of the Fourth Ninja World WarFire ||Soot.

As the general of the Iron Country, Mifune didn't want to be so fishy.

It's just that Mifune doesn't know at this moment that even if these five people who are now standing at the highest place in the ninja world don't fight, the next fourth ninja world war will still be avoidable.

"Not really, those people are still the shadows of the village after all, although they chose to protect their lives in the incident of my Airo's capture, but if the "Xiao" organization continues to develop and affect various countries, then I am afraid they will not be able to bear it."

At this moment, Zhou Jian Wen didn't mention the matter of Infinite Moon Reading, but just analyzed the development of the Five Shadows Talks from the perspective of an outsider.

"The Akatsuki organization used to be just a mercenary group, but since they frequently captured the human pillar force of tailed beasts, they are no longer a simple mercenary group."

In Mifune's silence, he picked up another piece of snack, and after biting off a horn in a very gentle manner, he continued in Mifune's gaze that seemed to understand something, "If it weren't for a certain level of strength and madness, how could an ordinary ninja be able to successfully capture the tailed orc pillar force?" ”

"But the Xiao organization did it, which shows that their members not only have a certain amount of strength, but also have abnormal brains."

Mifune, who was drinking tea, couldn't help choking because of Zhou Jianwen's description and comments, and then looked at Zhou Jianwen who didn't seem to feel that he had said anything wrong, "Miss Jianwen......"

"I've had a lot of contact with the people of the Xiao organization," Zhou Jian Min said calmly, which was also a fact, "If I really want to say it, the ten members of the Xiao organization have more or less had direct contact with me. ”

And two of them were killed by her, two were undercover agents she buried and dug up, and two of them were just released back to the Land of Rain by her.

Mifune knew that Zhou Jian Min was ambushed by two members of the "Akatsuki" organization in the Iron Country three years ago, but he didn't know that she had such a deep connection with the "Akatsuki" organization.

Although the probability of ordinary people surviving after having contact with the "Xiao" organization is basically zero, Zhou Jianwen is not an ordinary person after all.

This point, Mifune, who had competed with her in swordsmanship but lost in her hands, was the most experienced.

"Then Miss Jian Wen should know a lot about the "Xiao" organization?"

At this moment, it is not only the samurai of their Iron Country, it should be said that the five major powers have a limited understanding of the "Xiao" organization - if Zhou Jian Min really has a deep understanding of the "Xiao" organization, then it will also be beneficial and harmless for the five major powers who are about to reach an alliance to deal with the "Xiao" organization together.

"You can say that, but there are other problems," Zhou Jian Wen put down the teacup in his hand, and Veneto, who had been standing behind her, immediately stepped forward to refill a cup of tea for her, and Zhou Jian Wen also continued to say to Mifune at this moment, "The members of the "Xiao" organization are now dead and scattered, and according to my information, there should be only three or four people left. ”

"But the remaining ones are the most troublesome."

Hearing that even Zhou Jian Wen said "trouble", Mifune couldn't help but look on the ground, "Miss Jian Wen, please say." ”

As the host of this Five Shadows Conference, the more news he has in his hands, the better-naturally, he had better have a little bottom in his heart about the development direction of this meeting, which may be a quarrel most of the time.

At this moment, Mifune suddenly began to be a little glad that Zhou Jian Min was able to visit at this moment, otherwise even if he could keep calm at the Five Shadows Conference, I am afraid that he might not be able to calmly face some unexpected situations.

I didn't know that this Five Shadows Conference could be described as frequent, and what Mifune was most concerned about at this moment was the troublesome members of the "Xiao" organization in Zhou Jianwen's mouth.

"I don't know if Mr. Mifune remembers the attack on Konoha sixteen years ago."

After seeing Mifune meditating for a moment, he nodded solemnly, and then Zhou Jian Min continued, "The culprit who almost killed the death of the four generations of the couple back then is now in the Xiao organization. ”

"Moreover, the land is not low."

Although the last four words of Zhou Jian Wen did not say that "that masked man is the mastermind behind the "Akatsuki" organization", it basically sounded similar to Mifune.

"Miss Jian Wen means ......"

Mifune thought about the recent actions of the "Akatsuki" organization, and then thought about the main reason why Konoha was attacked back then, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"That man used his writing wheel eye back then, and manipulated the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha," Funakami Min pulled away the smile on his face and said word by word in Mifune's gaze, "Now that the Akatsuki organization has collected so many tailed beasts, what do you think ......?"

"What will happen?"

"And since the concept of Ninja Village has been formed, who has been able to truly manipulate the Nine-Tails with the Sharingan?"

Since Uchiha Obito likes to bear the name of Madara Uchiha so much, and wants to set off the fourth ninja war, then she might as well help him, anyway, this war is absolutely unavoidable, and she can also take this opportunity......

to complete her mission.

"It's difficult, could it be said that the Uchiha ......?"

The name of the legendary man came to his lips, but he was still swallowed by Mifune. After all, just like what Minru Funaken said to Nagato that day, for ordinary people, the name Madara Uchiha is a symbol of madness and strength.

If they could, no one wanted the person who could tie the Senju Pillar with the original Hokage to reappear in the world and appear on their opposite.

"Who knows," Funaka didn't answer directly, but her previous statement also made Mifune's mind come to a conclusion.

"If it was Miss Jianwen, would she do that?"

The name Madara Uchiha made Mifune, who was a samurai, tingle, so he could only choose to change the topic, "If the other party is really that person, then ......"

"Naturally, you can't match that person with the strength of one person, especially since the other party still has a tailed beast in his hand now," Zhou Jian Min picked up the teacup and began to warm his hands, "So, what if you gather the power of all the ninjas of the five major countries?" ”

"In the past, when the Akatsuki organization was collecting tailed beasts, most of the ninja villages ignored the situation in other villages, because everyone felt that they could solve the Akatsuki organization with their own strength. But when a mentally ill but powerful enemy appears in front of everyone......"

"The five great powers can also work together to retreat from the enemy."
