Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Five Shadows Talks
As the four of them left with a drag, there were no further forks on the next road, and the group arrived safely at the temporary camp.
A Shinobi of the Hyuga family received Yuki and them, and explained the current situation one by one.
"Lord Xuehui." As soon as the upper ninja of the Hyuga branch opened his mouth, Xue Hui was stunned for a moment, this title was the first time Xue Hui had been called in Konoha's environment.
"This is where the seven-tailed beast is placed." Hinatami Shinobu pointed to some simple maps on the table.
Xue Hui and the four of them stepped forward and picked up this map, which recorded the situation of the seven-tailed beasts: the two-tailed brigade, the three-tailed Jifu, the four-tailed Monkey King, the five-tailed King Mu, the six-tailed rhinoceros, the seven-tailed Chongming, and the eight-tailed bull ghost. Except for the one that was sealed in the temple of the country of the wind and the nine tails who made their home in Mito's belly, the rest of the tailed beasts gathered in this valley.
Of course, the names of these tailed beasts were all silently reviewed by Xue Hui in his heart, and no one else knew the name of the tailed beast now except for the tailed beasts themselves. Xue Hui wasn't ready to tell anyone either.
It's just that he didn't notice the change in Mito's eyes when he first returned to Konoha when he looked at him, and this would not be noticed until later.
Leaving Tuan Zang and Feng to help at the station, Xue Hui and Jing acted separately, Xue Hui temporarily tied Konoha forehead protection on his arm in order to show the strength he represented, of course, Konoha understood when he saw the big whirlpool family crest behind Xue Hui's red clothes, this move was for the ninjas of other ninja villages.
The Uchiha Kagami plans to patrol the perimeter of this valley and exchange information with the Uchiha clan here. Xue Hui walked straight to the tailed beasts, and he was ready to check the situation and seals of the tailed beasts one by one.
Of course, by the way, experience the feeling of a tailed beast, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
……
There was no accident on Xue Hui's side for the time being, returning to the capital of the Iron Country, after meeting the daimyo of the Iron Country, Pillar and Kazuma returned to the inn belonging to Konoha in the evening, and the three of Sarufei also came back to gather at the same time.
"Monkey, did you find anything?" He asked, sitting cross-legged and clasped his hands.
The three of them stood in front of the door and the pillar, and replied respectfully: "Teacher, the five major ninja villages are already in this city, except for the farthest away Kazekage, who has not yet arrived, and the small countries that were also invited have also sent their respective envoys to stand by, except for Xue Hui, the representative of the Vortex Country who was sent to take care of the tailed beasts. ”
"But there's one thing to be aware of." Mito Menyan on the side took the words of the sun and dragged his eyes.
"Takikage, who promised to come in person, didn't appear, and he didn't even receive information about his departure from the village, and it was only a representative of the Shinobi who arrived in the Iron Country."
"Did you send an envoy to explain it?" He asked in a deep voice.
Hizai shook his head: "The person who attended the meeting didn't give any explanation, according to the investigation, he has hardly been out of the house since he came to the Iron Country, waiting for the start of the Five Shadows Conference. ”
"I've heard some information about this from the daimyo of the Iron Country." The old god on the side suddenly spoke among the pillars where he was.
"During my exchange with the Daimyo of the Iron Country, the Daimyo of the Iron Country told me that the Shinobi had specially brought a rich gift to visit him, and he wanted him to help Taki Shinobu fight for the Tailed Beast during the meeting with the Five Shadows."
Kazuma looked at the pillars, nodded, and analyzed: "Based on the current information, it is estimated that something special happened in the village of Takishinobi, but it is not ruled out that he wants to make some small moves in private, as for the tailed beast......"
"Each of the five ninja villages is assigned two, and Konoha has nine tails, this is the plan we set before, and it will not change." Pillar said.
"Okay, tomorrow when the Wind Shadow arrives, the Five Shadows meeting will be held immediately, so let's all rest. Koharu, you're in charge of tonight's inspection. He clapped his hands and said.
"Yes, Teacher!" Koharu replied loudly.
……
There was no word for a night, and the next day, as the wind shadow arrived at the capital of the Iron Country on time early in the morning, the first meeting of the Five Shadows in the history of the ninja world began in this place. Out of the importance of this matter, this time the daimyo of the Iron Country deigned to personally preside over the meeting, although it was said that it was actually a name, but it still showed the attitude of the Iron Country. As for the actual presiding over the meeting, it will be carried out by the great future of the Iron Country.
Those who participated were:
The first generation of Hokage is between the Thousand Hands Pillar, and the second generation of the Hokage is between the Thousand Hands
The first generation of Tokage Ishikawa, the future second generation of Tokage None
The first generation of Thunder Shadow Ai, the future second generation of Thunder Shadow, the name of Thunder Shadow Ai is a inheritance system.
The first generation of Mizukage White Lotus, the future three generations of Mizukage.
The first generation of Wind Shadow Fierce Fight, the future second generation of Wind Shadow Shamen.
As for why the Mizukage guards sent by the Fog Shadow are the third generation of Mizukage, it is due to a previous battle with Iwakure that the future second-generation Mizukage Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon is temporarily unable to move, but in the same way, Wu who participated in the meeting was also seriously injured by the Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon and was wrapped in bandages all over his body.
After a few opening words from the daimyo of the Iron Country, as usual, the meeting officially began, and Pillar couldn't wait to be the first to speak:
"Today, the first leaders of the major powers are able to gather here for the Five Shadows Talks, I'm really—"
As he spoke, Zhu Ma suddenly lowered his head and slammed into the pentagonal table of the meeting, making a 'bang' sound.
"—Thank you so much!"
The unexpected behavior of the pillar made the eyelids of the door behind him jump, and the other shadows were also stunned.
"Hmph, there's no need for that, the first Hokage, let's talk about the actual things, we represent the village behind us." The first generation of Thunder Shadow, who ranked second in the village, snorted coldly.
"That's right, then according to the instructions, we Konoha will send the seven tailed beasts captured to ...... separately."
As soon as he was halfway through Zhuma's words, he knew that his brother's door had already prepared, so he immediately interrupted:
"Selling them separately to each country, each country needs to exchange resources for such a request, is there no problem?"
Ignoring the 'resentful' eyes of the pillars, he faced the sharp eyes of the shadows and said calmly.
"Hmm." The Earth Shadow, Thunder Shadow, and Mizukage nodded in agreement.
"I disagree!" Kazekage objected: "We, the Sand Ninja Village, have given up the distribution of the Tailed Beasts, and instead, we need to obtain a portion of the resources of the other three villages to buy the Tailed Beasts. ”
"If you don't accept this condition, I won't sign the agreement! Our land is a desert and unproductive, and we must be on an equal footing with the four great powers, and of course we must make great use of the tailed beasts in our village. ”
This move provoked opposition from the other three Shadows, which meant that the three villages had to come up with more resources.
