Directly north of the Land of Fire, there is a country called the Land of Iron.

Because the country is located in the north, the weather is cold and snows all year round.

What's even more strange is that there are almost no ninjas in the Iron Country, and it is completely led by samurai, and the head of the country is called the Shogun. The current commander of Iron Country is named Mifune, and he is also a samurai with excellent sword skills.

In a world where ninjas are prevalent, a country like the Land of Iron is very rare.

At the same time, because the Iron Country also has a good armed force and has always been neutral and impartial, this country will often participate in the balance between the five major ninja countries as a coordinator to help each major country or its ninja village negotiate peace.

This time, the Five Shadows Conference, initiated by Yanyin Village, Wuyin Village, and Yunyin Village, was also held in the capital of the Iron Country. The notary who presided over this meeting was none other than the Iron Country Commander Mifune.

As the start of the Five Shadows Conference approached, the ninjas of Iwayin Village, Mist Hidden Village, and Cloud Hidden Village had all arrived in the Land of Iron one after another, while the ninjas of Konoha Village and Sand Hidden Village were still nowhere to be seen.

"Tomorrow is the Five Shadows Conference, and the people of Konoha and Shayin haven't even seen a shadow, aren't they going to come to the meeting?"

In Mifune's mansion, Tsuchikage Onoki, Mizukage Terumi and Thunder Shadow Darui were all there, and hearing that Konoha and Sunagakure had not yet arrived, Onoki said with a worried face.

Mifune shook his head and said, "Probably not, both the Hokage and the Kazekage have officially replied to the letter, and they will attend the Five Shadows Conference on time." I believe that with the identities of the two of them, they will definitely not go back on their word. ”

At this moment, the voice of Mifune's subordinates came from outside the door.

"Lord Mifune, the people of Konoha and Shayin have arrived, and their subordinates have arranged for them to rest in the post house first."

Hearing his subordinates' return, Mifune and the three shadows present glanced at each other, and then asked his subordinates, "How did the people of Konoha and Shayin come here, it seems that there was no sign of them coming to our Iron Country before. ”

The subordinates hesitated: "The subordinates heard the guards say that they saw a whirlpool-shaped thing appear outside the city gate, and then Konoha and Shayin's people walked straight out of this whirlpool, and the specific subordinates don't quite understand." ”

Terumi on the side frowned when she heard this: "This should be some kind of ninjutsu in time and space, and it doesn't sound like the technique of the Flying Thunder God, I really didn't expect Konoha to have such a strange ability." ”

Onoki nodded and said: "This kind of ability is very terrifying if it is placed in the middle of a war, and Konoha uses this way to participate in the Five Shadows Conference, which must also want to show their strength and give us some pressure." ”

In fact, Yusuke really didn't think as much as Onoki said, and the reason why he came to the Land of Iron with Kamui Space Jumping Ability was purely to save everyone's time.

With Konoha's current strength, there is no need to demonstrate to other forces through such small means.

After knowing that Konoha and Sha Yin's people had arrived, the few people present also put their minds at ease, and after unifying what they said at the Five Shadows Conference tomorrow, they all left Mifune's mansion and returned to their respective village inns.

......

The next day.

In the conference hall arranged by the Iron Country, the shadows of the five ninja villages gathered. In addition to Ei, there were also the host Mifune and Konoha Chief Advisor Yusuke.

Behind each of them stood one or two guards and assistants, behind Tsuchikage Onoki was Fumiya and Kuroto, behind Mizukage Terumi was Aowa Chojuro, behind Thunderkage Darui was Tsuchidai Kazuki, behind Kazekage Hakura was her disciple Juan, behind Hokage Mizumon was Shiranui Genma, and behind Yusuke was the nominal guard Azudo.

After everyone was seated, Mifune, who was a notary, took the lead in speaking: "This Five Shadows Conference was held at the request of the three Your Excellencies Tsuchikage, Five Shadows, and Thunder Shadows. The purpose of the event was to discuss the unusual partnership between Konoha and Sunagakure, and the three shadows were clearly concerned about this. ”

After Mifune finished speaking, Onoki, who was the actual organizer, looked at Mizuto and Yusuke with a serious face: "Your Excellency, the current ninja world is to maintain order according to the rules specified by the original Hokage, and implement the system of one country and one ninja village. It is precisely because of the existence of the five ninja villages of the five major countries that the mutual balance and restraint ensure the peace of the ninja world. ”

"But Konoha, who is the maker of this order, actually broke the rules with his own hands and controlled the military and political forces of Sand Hidden Village, which also destroyed the hard-won balance of the ninja world!"

Yusuke said with a smile: "There is no perfect system in the world, everything is advancing with the times, and the first generation of adults also broke the old system and established a new system." Originally, Konoha and Shagakure were allies, but the four generations of Kazekage actually launched an attack on Konoha, and it was obvious that the old system could not avoid war and guarantee peace. ”

"Let's look at it now, Konoha and Sha Yin are like a family, and there is no barrier at all, which is a great progress!"

Speaking of this, Yusuke looked at Hakura with a smile and said, "Your Excellency Kazekage, you're right?" ”

Asked by Yusuke, the muscles on Ye Cang's face twitched, and he said expressionlessly, "Sort of!" ”

Mizukage Terumi retorted: "Your Excellency's words are sophistry, if the major ninja villages do this and attack each other to control each other, then the ninja world will immediately be in chaos!" ”

Watergate smiled and asked, "So what do you mean?" ”

Onoki said slowly, "Our request is simple, we just want to maintain the independence of the five ninja villages. As long as Konoha agrees to restore Sunagakure's independence, remove all ninjas stationed in Sunakurish, release Elder Chiyo and Elder Kaiezo to Sunakurish, and allow Sunagakure to rearrange the Wind Shadow on his own. ”

"As for the loss of Konoha caused by Sand Hide, our three shadows are willing to compensate Konoha twice on behalf of the three major ninja villages!"

It can be seen from Onoki's words that although the Tsuchikage, Thunder Shadow and Mizukage are already on the same front, they are still very jealous of Konoha and have made a lot of concessions while putting forward the conditions, which seems to be full of sincerity.

However, for Yusuke and Mizumon, who aim to unify the ninja world, it is impossible for the Sand Hidden Village, which has been incorporated into the management of Konoha to become independent again.

Looking at Onoki, who was obviously the leader of the three shadows, Mizuto said with a smile: "Konoha is not forcibly encroaching on Sand Hidden Village, our Konoha is an agreement with the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, and His Excellency Hakura, who is the shadow of the Wind, was also appointed by the Daimyo of the Land of Wind himself. If you have any objections to this plan, you may want to ask the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind to discuss it. ”
