"After all these years, this castle still hasn't changed at all."

Entering the interior of the snow castle, Ayane looked at the familiar layout of the corridors, almost exactly the same as when she came in the past, without the slightest transformation, and there were some places that were obviously broken, but they were not renovated, only repaired.

However, the floor is spotless, and it looks as clean and tidy as before, and even the corridor feels much wider and brighter.

"After all, the residence of the samurai, coupled with Mifune's personality, is unlikely to be too luxurious. Being too comfortable will dull his swordsmanship, which is not a good thing for a neutral country caught between the great powers. ”

Shiraishi responded.

Mifune, the general of the Iron Country, is not only a first-class swordsman in the ninja world, but his character is also meticulous and upright, for a samurai like him with a very high heart, he doesn't pay much attention to material enjoyment, otherwise he wouldn't be able to maintain the strength and strength of a samurai at this age.

Compared to the past, the current Mifune's momentum is completely restrained, and he looks like an ordinary old man from the outside.

But Shiraishi knew that this was a disguise that was naturally formed after the other party reached the realm of returning to the basics, and once he really started to move, it would inevitably be a thunderous blow to destroy the enemy as quickly as possible.

To be able to carve out a path of samurai and lead the samurai forward in the era of ninjas is a great honor in itself.

Ayane nodded, acknowledging this.

Although the trend of this era is not inclined to the samurai, the strength of the samurai is also not weak. When encountering a ninja with slightly inferior physical skills, a samurai who is good at surprise attacks, it is not a problem to kill the ninja in an instant.

Mifune, the general of the Iron Country, once had a dazzling record of killing more than a dozen ninjas in an instant.

Now that the swordsmanship is more powerful, to a certain extent, it may be comparable to the Five Shadows.

"Three, here it is—"

The samurai, who was leading the way in front, came to a door and was about to take out the key to open the door for the three of Shiraishi, when a thunderclap suddenly rang out in the open corridor.

A dazzling figure thunder rushed over in an instant, and the target was directly aimed at the three of Baishi.

The shadow at the foot of the white stone began to move, but the one who struck one step ahead of the shadow was the one who had already predicted the enemy's movements, like a loyal guard protecting the side.

The chakra in his body surged rapidly, converging in the palm of his hand, and then the figure flashed out, blocking the path of the humanoid thunder light, and waved out the palm that condensed a large number of chakras, detonating in mid-air in one breath.

Rumble!

The rushing thunder and lightning, and the explosion of the air, suddenly swept through the entire corridor, making the floor and ceiling tremble violently, and the lights flickered and flickered, switching back and forth between dim and light, as if they could be annihilated at any time.

"Humph!"

The sturdy figure wrapped in thunder and lightning let out a snort from its nostrils, and the fist that swung out was hard again.

The huge force surged into Sai's body, making his entire arm almost lose his intuition, and his face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly flashed back, avoiding the idea of colliding head-on with the other party, and retreated to Shiraishi's body, looking at the attacker with a vigilant gaze.

"Lord Thunder, Lord Thunder Shadow, please stop, fighting is forbidden here!"

The samurai, who was a beat slower to react, suddenly reflected and came to the middle of the two sides, stopping the strong man whose body was wrapped in dense lightning to move again.

As if following the samurai's request, the four generations of Thunder Shadow really stopped the desire to do it, and the dense lightning on his body slowly faded.

"It's a disappointment, I originally wanted to try to see if your soft boxing has regressed after so many years."

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow twisted his wrist and made a crisp sound, giving people a very strong beast posture.

His gaze locked on Ayane, who was standing beside Shiraishi, and the thunder in his eyes was faintly beating, with a strong aggressiveness.

“…… It's just that in the past on the battlefield, it added a little chaos to you, Thunder Shadow, you don't need to hold on to it for so many years. ”

Ayane was speechless at the desire to fight of the four generations of Thunder Shadow, and spread her hands helplessly.

"You're the first ninja to make me suffer in terms of physical skills, just like that bastard with Yellow Flash, who can defeat me in terms of speed."

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow said.

Since he became famous as a teenager, he is most proud of his invulnerability and proud speed.

But in these two areas, the physical technique was first suppressed by Ayane, and was tragically suppressed by the yellow flash in speed, so Ayane and Bo Feng Shuimen were the two ninjas he wanted to defeat the most.

Because of these two people, he has been spurring himself over the years, polishing his body harder and making himself faster, in order to one day be able to be ashamed and surpass his limits.

As he spoke, the fourth generation of Lei Ying glanced at Cai, who was fighting with him just now, the other party's breathing had stabilized, and the vigilance in his eyes was still not dissipating, guarding against something.

"This is your son, it's a good little ghost, with a bit of your demeanor, it seems that he hasn't practiced soft boxing crookedly like the Hyuga clan in Konoha."

is not stingy with praise for Cai, although he is still a lot away from his level, the heat is still a lot, but he can take his own punch unscathed, at this age, it is already a very remarkable strength, and there is a lot of potential to be tapped.

At the same time, in his words, he highly recognized the correctness of the Hyuga clan in the country of ghosts, and expressed disdain and contempt for the conservative and stubborn Hyuga clan in Konoha.

Compared with the soft fist of the mother and son, the Hyuga clan of Konoha seems to have embarked on a crooked path, and they have no potential to dig out the power of the soft fist and the white eye, and empty the potential of the blood limit.

"Even then, I wouldn't be here to do anything, I don't want to have a place to stand in the evening when I have a meeting. Moreover, this is a neutral chassis, and it would be rude to make a mess. ”

Ayane appeared polite, and the cloud light breeze lightly defused the provocative offensive of the four generations of Thunder Shadow.

The samurai on the side breathed a sigh of relief, after all, once the two of them broke out into battle, the entire castle would be torn off by the two of them as pieces of paper.

The thunder light in the eyes of the four generations of thunder shadows went out, and they completely died down.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to say hello, and I have no plans to do anything serious here for the time being."

As he spoke, the four generations of Thunder Shadow wore an open white coat and turned around and left directly, without dragging the mud and water at all.

It seems that he really just came over and said hello with his fist.

"Hmm...... It's really troublesome to be targeted by such a troublesome person, or you can sneak him off on the road and let him calm down completely. ”

After the four generations of Thunder Shadow left, Ayane said this, and the smile on her face became more and more bright and beautiful, as if she suddenly thought of something extremely happy.

When the samurai next to him heard this, he immediately felt cold sweat on his face.

With the most touching smile, but with the most cruel and cold-blooded words, it seems that what he wants to kill is not a five shadows, but an ant that can be pinched to death on the side of the road.

This terrifying woman must not be provoked. The samurai was under a lot of pressure.

"Don't mess around, we're not here to fight."

Shiraishi shook his head, not taking Ayane's words to heart, most of them just casually, without planning to really act.

Ayane shrugged and didn't answer.

……

"Boss, you're too messy, you're going to cause trouble."

Watching the four generations of Thunder Shadow walk back, Darui spoke weakly, as if he was blaming the four generations of Thunder Shadow for their unauthorized actions.

"Darui, Lord Thunder Shadow has his own plans, we just need to give our full support."

Kamishinobi, who is in charge of perception, refuted Darui's words.

"I'm talking about chaos, Xi, it's better to say that the other party was not provoked successfully, otherwise with the battle level of the boss and the white-eyed woman, we all have to have a meeting in the ice and snow, and then spend the night."

Darui glanced at Nozomi.

Xi didn't open his mouth to respond, but looked at the four generations of Thunder Shadow and asked, "Lord Thunder Shadow, what should you do next?" Are you going to visit the Hokage and Tsuchikage-sama and ventilate with them in advance? ”

Although they were the first to come to the castle, they had not yet met with the Tsuchikage and the Hokage.

"There's no need to ventilate in advance, wait until the Kazekage and Mizukage arrive, and don't forget what we're here for."

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow waved his hand.

Hearing this, Darui and Nozomi both turned pale and nodded seriously.

"That organization called Xiao is really powerful, I didn't expect that even a powerful ninja like Lord Kirabi would be defeated in their hands, it's really not to be underestimated."

Xi said solemnly.

"Not only that, but there are also a large number of humanoid soldiers controlled by them in the Land of Rain, and I heard that there is also a problem with the human pillar force on the other side of the fog hidden...... This is a major issue concerning the survival of the great powers. ”

As the captain of the previous management of the search team stationed in the Land of Rain, Darui has a more intuitive sense of the situation in the Land of Rain than the rest, and the impact is also stronger.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the power that Xiaoxiao is now showing in front of the stage, even if multiple major powers unite, there may not be any hope of victory.

"In other words, now except for the nine-tails of Konoha and the seven-tails in the hands of I don't know who is in the hands, the rest of the tailed beasts have fallen into the hands of this Xiao organization, which is indeed a very powerful force. However, speaking of the Seven Tails, there are rumors that it is in the hands of the Oni Country, and I don't know if this information is true or false. ”

Nozomi thought of the gossip that had spread before, and locked the whereabouts of the Seven Tails on the country of ghosts.

"They have always claimed that there are no tailed beasts in their country, although such unilateral claims seem to be only covering people's eyes and ears, and are not convincing at all."

Darui scratched his head, equally puzzled by the whereabouts of the Seven Tails.

"Who knows. But it's still very simple to confirm the truth, and then it's good to ask at the meeting, anyway, at this time, if the Seven Tails are really in the hands of the Oni Country, it makes no sense to continue to hide it. Now, if the great powers do not unite, they will only be defeated by the Akatsuki. ”

Nozomi made this point.

"United? I don't think the union will go as smoothly as I imagined, and the country of Oni has been hiding in the fog, and people don't know what they are thinking. Boss, maybe we should be careful. ”

Darui's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I understand this kind of thing without you saying it. It is rumored that the country of ghosts is in collusion with Akatsuki, and sixteen years ago caused the Nine-Tails to go on a rampage and assassinated the yellow flash of Konoha, although no tangible evidence has been found, and there is a lack of strong witnesses, but the attitude of the country of ghosts towards this organization is sometimes indeed strange. ”

The four generations of Thunder Shadow frowned and said what was in their hearts.

"Lord Thunder Shadow, do you need me to keep an eye on them?"

Nozomi volunteered.

"No, they have two pairs of white eyes now, and if they want to monitor, they will find out immediately. Moreover, the next point is to reach a consensus with the rest of the countries to deal with the tricky existence of Xiao. Now just rest well and wait for the meeting to start. ”

The four generations of Thunder Shadow have not forgotten the purpose of the Five Shadows Conference, and monitoring the country of ghosts is not only meaningless, but also adds a lot of trouble to themselves.

"Yes."

Darui and Nozomi glanced at each other and obeyed the orders of the four generations of Thunder Shadows.

◎

The four generations of Kazekage Rasa and the fifth generation of Mizukage Terumi arrived at the samurai castle in the Iron Country at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. respectively.

While there was still some time, the team of Sand and Kirin rested in the castle for a while, washed off the dust from their bodies, and did not walk towards the large conference room in the castle under the leadership of the corresponding samurai until three o'clock in the afternoon.

Through the windows of the corridor, you can see the icy picture of the wind and snow outside, the lake is frozen, the mountains and trees are also covered with snow and ice in the white forest, and hundreds of samurai wearing heavy armor and wearing sharp blades proudly carry out strict patrols in the wind and snow outside.

The shadows that came with the Five Shadows were also scattered in the shadows inside and outside the castle, holding their breath and garrisoning with the samurai.

The rest rooms of the various senators were not in the same area, so in the corridor leading to the conference room, only the samurai who led the way were left, and their own team.

The heating device is laid in the corridor, which is different from the cold outside, which looks warm and warm, and the whining wind can not be heard, making the corridor with only the sound of footsteps more quiet.

Just a few wall panels, it seems to be divided into two worlds.

When Shiraishi arrived in the conference room with Ayane and Aya, Konoha and Yunyin's team seemed to have been prepared and arrived first.

Yun Yin's side is the same standard trio as the Ghost Country, except for the four generations of Thunder Shadow at the head, standing behind are the two Yun Yin Shangnin.

On Konoha's side, there is a four-person group, except for Tsunade, who is sitting in his own position, and standing behind him are Yamanaka Haiichi and Akimichi Michi, who are in the pig deer butterfly...... and the Nine-Tails Pillar Force Uzumaki Naruto.

In order not to give Nagato a chance, did you bring it to the scene of the Five Shadows Conference? Shiraishi's gaze swept over Naruto and began to analyze.

Encountering the attack of Payne Rokudo, the Konoha fighters suffered heavy losses, and Naruto, who was a human pillar force, was in a worrying situation.

Now that he is tearing his face, the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body may be coveted by Akatsuki at any time.

On the contrary, brought to the scene of the Five Shadows Conference, with the protection of many powerful ninjas, even if Xiao launched an attack here, he would not be able to take away the Nine-Tails under everyone's noses.

However, when Shiraishi set his eyes on Naruto, Naruto's gaze also looked at Shiraishi at the same time, and there seemed to be some kind of strong will in his blue pupils, and he wanted to move several times, but in the end, he thought about something and endured it, making people feel that he was a little absent-minded.

"Why, looking at me like that, are you going to get news about Kakashi and them from me?"

Shiraishi looked at Naruto with a smile, as if he was going to use him as an entry point to talk about Konoha's tone.

However, as soon as this strategy was about to be implemented, Naruto, who was about to speak excitedly, intercepted it with his hand by Tsunade, and then she glared at Shiraishi in annoyance.

"Anyway, you're also a senior in the ninja world, don't you think it's too much to use such words to deal with a junior, stinky boy?"

"This has wronged me, Tsunade-sensei, I just want to meet the requirements of the junior master-apprentice affection, and I don't plan to do anything bad."

Being provoked by Tsunade, Shiraishi sighed helplessly, as if he really thought about Naruto as he said.

It's just that, in Tsunade's opinion, this is just a manifestation of the other party's nonsense, without the slightest sincerity.

Then, Shiraishi sat down, and at the ring-shaped conference table, there was a place between him and the four generations of Thunder Shadow, and the right hand side of the four generations of Thunder Shadow was where Tsunade was.

Ayane and Aya stood meticulously behind Shiraishi, and since it was the first time they came, Aya began to look around curiously.

"However, you are not a pure husband and wife combination when you go out this time, but a family of three, what, is it because of a fire in the backyard?"

After Shiraishi sat down, Tsunade quickly counterattacked, provocative and a little ridiculous.

Before Shiraishi could answer, Ayane replied with a smile that was not too big: "Yes, Hokage-sama, the day before departure, Shiraishi-kun and Ruri had a fight, oops, the battle scene was really fierce at that time." ”

“……”

Shiraishi, who wanted to say something, was immediately gagged by Ayane's words and was silent.

And when he heard the words that Baishi and Ruri had a fight, Cai's eyes suddenly became dazed, didn't my mother say that these two worked overtime together at night the day before, why did they change their words and say that they had a fight? It's weird.

When Tsunade heard this, he showed a color of interest.

Yun Yin's two upper ninjas were also interested in this kind of gossip of big people, and while standing upright, they also began to listen with their ears pricked up to pass the time.

Only the four generations of Lei Ying folded their hands, closed their eyes and sat in their position to pretend to sleep, not the slightest interest in this kind of gossip topic, and even sneered.

"Boy, I told you a long time ago that stepping on two boats will not end well, now you will suffer."

Tsunade seems happy to see Shiraishi deflated.

However, Shiraishi didn't care, just glanced back at Tsunade calmly, with a bit of pity and sympathy.

"Hey, what do you mean by those looks?"

Tsunade frowned when he saw Shiraishi show this expression.

Just now she was sure that Shiraishi must have thought of something extremely rude in her heart.

Bai Shi still didn't reply, picked up the tea that had been prepared in front of him, took a sip calmly, and moistened his throat.

It's a pity that you can't soak goji berries here.

That night, he and Liuli had a big battle, although he successfully 'hit Liuli hard', but he was also attacked by a strong backlash, and he needed to be replenished and recover from his injuries.

At this moment, footsteps sounded and someone came in.

The three generations of Tsuchikage Onoki, the fourth generation of Kazekage Rakusa, the fifth generation of Mizukage Terumi, and the guards who followed in took steps one after another and entered the conference room.

Terumi came to Shiraishi and sat down on the left hand side, halfway between Shiraishi and the four generations of Thunder Shadow.

The two guards who came with her were the upper ninja of the fog and the ghost lamp full moon, one of the seven ninja swords.

On the right hand side of Shiraishi is an empty seat, and on the right side is where Raksha and Onoki are located.

Tsunade no longer intervened in the topic with Shiraishi, his face straightened, and he put on a very solemn expression, while inadvertently sweeping everyone's faces, as if he was carefully observing something.

Due to the entry of the three shadows one after another, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became much quieter, and only the extremely long, faint breathing sound of everyone remained.

Shiraishi still drank tea calmly, like the four generations of Lei Ying who were pretending to be asleep, he didn't care about the arrival of the rest of the people, nor did he look at the people who entered the conference room with his eyes, just quietly thinking about his own affairs.

Finally, in such a quiet atmosphere, the sound of calm and powerful footsteps sounded again, and with it, the sound of the door of the conference room shut.

The one who entered the meeting was the Iron Country Admiral Mifune, who presided over the meeting.

As a neutral party, he was acquiesced in the qualification to preside over the Five Shadows Conference.

Coming to the empty space between Shiraishi and Luo Sha, Mifune, who came with a sword, did not sit down, and gently glanced at everyone present, looking at this scene of déjà vu many times, such a meeting, it seems that he has presided over more than one time in this castle, and he can't help but sigh helplessly.

Although as the presiding officer, there is no need to join the position of the ninjas, and even if these great powers go to war with the so-called Akatsuki organization, the samurai will never participate...... But no matter how many times I face such a scene, I still feel a huge headache.

I can only hope that this time, I can also get through it smoothly and safely, and don't make any trouble here and affect the peace of the Iron Country.

He is over 60 years old and just wants to live out his old age in peace.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Using the opening words of the past, Mifune coughed lightly, focusing everyone's attention, and even the four generations of Thunder Shadow, who had been pretending to sleep, opened his eyes under Mifune's cough.

"I won't say much about the rules here, I think all of you who have been here a few times know the rules of the neutral party's talks, please take peace as your preciousness, and hold a meeting to hold a meeting, if you want to use force, you will come forward to stop it at the next time."

Seeing that Gokage, who was the mastermind of the meeting, and the Minister of War of the Oni Country, they didn't refute, but just listened quietly, Mifune couldn't help but nodded, such a peaceful scene was exactly what he wanted to see.

"Then, the meeting officially begins. As the first initiator of this Five Shadows Conference, Your Excellency Tuying, it is up to you to speak first. ”

Mifune looked at Onoki who was sitting in the seat, and with the height of the other party, he was basically only the part above the neck, and he was not blocked by the table.

"In that case, let the old man take the lead." Onoki did not refuse, took the handle of Mifune's hand, and then swept the faces of everyone with a sharp gaze, and said, "Regarding the matter of the Land of Rain, I think everyone who participated in the meeting already knows it. The Rain Country, the Rain Hide, or the Akatsuki, their existence has now seriously endangered the safety of the ninja world, and the balance that our great power has managed to maintain has been damaged like never before. In order to prevent things from reaching the point of being out of control, the old man proposed, next, the countries of all of us here will form an unprecedented alliance army to destroy Xiao with the power of thunder! ”

The seriousness of the matter made Onoki not greet meaningless nonsense, but went straight to the theme of the meeting, officially inviting all countries to form an alliance of six major powers to renew the international balance under the rule of the great powers.

To achieve this balance, it is necessary to eliminate the Rain Country, which has the potential to become the seventh power, and completely stifle the danger in the cradle.
