"Are you here to invite me to talk?"

After seeing the samurai, Ai opened his mouth with a grin, he didn't think as much as Tatsuma and Shikaku, just because the time was just right.

The samurai wore silver armor and fur cloaks, helmets and masks that obscured their faces, and each carried more than two swords.

"It seems that the locals of the Iron Country are also afraid of the cold."

Shikaku, who saw these samurai through the cracks in the wooden house, turned his head sideways and whispered to Tatsuma, Tatsuma nodded, neither of them noticed, and the face of the earthen platform beside him became strange.

In Totai's impression, Lu Jiu is unparalleled in his calculations, whether it is military, political, diplomatic or other fields, he is extremely calm and decisive in his means of harming the enemy and collecting benefits for Konoha.

In the many confrontations in the air, Lu Jiu in Tutai's heart should be an extremely calm strategist type, opening his mouth is a major matter of the family and country, and closing his mouth will set the future.

But. Why is it the person in front of you, who actually ridiculed the samurai of the Iron Country for being afraid of the cold? Especially the tone and posture of Lu Jiu when he spoke, like a short long-tongued woman gossiping about other people's parents in the streets and alleys.

And Tatsuma Sakamoto! What's going on with you? Shouldn't you be concerned about the situation in the ninja world, shouldn't you focus on the overall chessboard? Why did you echo Lu Jiu's idle words with an approving face?

Just one sentence, Tutai felt that the image that these two people had created in his heart in the past had collapsed, it turned out that he had been fighting wits and courage for so long, and he had embarrassed himself, and let the village retreat one after another.

"The leader seems to be an acquaintance."

Tatsuma observed for a while, and after taking his attention away from the point that "the people of the Iron Country are also afraid of the cold", he also discovered something.

Tutai hurriedly pricked up his ears, wanting to learn some information related to the Iron Country from Tatsuma's mouth, after all, the Iron Country has been closed for a long time, and the main force in the country, except for Mifune, has already been updated.

Other ninja villages can learn about extremely rare, with the current situation of cloud ninja, a little more understanding, maybe it can come in handy.

Lu Jiu also asked very cooperatively, "Did you know each other in the Second Ninja World War?" Is it strong? ”

Tatsuma nodded and said, "Well, at that time, the strongest swordsman of the young generation in the Iron Country was a young and bald guy, and he was directly cut down by me. ”

Hearing this, Lu Jiu showed doubts on his face and said, "Just Ling's knife skills? I heard that you can't even guide your disciple who is not yet ten years old, and you can still cut down the swordsman genius of the Iron Country? ”

"I'm just encouraging Zhishui to go out of his own way, really when I don't know how to swordsmanship?"

Tatsuma said sharply, he is indeed not good at swordsmanship, but. The strongest swordsman of the young generation in the Iron Country, he cut down. At least he was slashed by him, although he used ninjutsu to win in the end, but rounding it up, it can be regarded as being cut down by him.

Lu Jiu rolled his eyes, and from the change in Tatsuma's expression, he could be sure that Tatsuma was bragging, but he didn't bother to argue, but asked, "Young bald?" How bald? ”

"Naked."

"Can that be used?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Tutai's expression also lost control, and he determined that the personalities of these two people were indeed aunts on the streets, or uncles who bragged at the wine table.

And he, Yunyin Village, and the entire ninja world are so suppressed by such people that they can't raise their heads, and it's really. Shame on you!

Outside, the samurai who took the lead also took off his helmet and wrote down his mask, and the bald head shone in the light of the snow.

"It's naked."

Lu Jiu also looked surprised, it was rare to see someone so bald, especially at this age. No, according to Tatsuma, as early as more than ten years ago, this samurai was already naked and bald.

It's true. It's miserable. He couldn't help but touch his jagged hairline, and decided to open up some new medicinal fields, cultivate some new medicinal materials, and develop some new products after he went back.

"In Shimochongsuke, I came on the orders of the general and ordered you to completely withdraw from the territory of the Iron Country within three days, otherwise we will have to take some necessary measures."

Osuke looked at Ai and said without giving an inch, the joy on Ai's original face froze, and said, "Are you sure that the Iron Country wants to be like this?" Don't forget, the Hokage of Konoha has also come to participate in the discussions.

Offending our Yunyin Village and Konoha Hidden Village at the same time, do you think your position as a so-called peaceful and independent third party in the Iron Country can continue to exist? ”

The reason why the Iron Country is a country with a third-party position is recognized by the five major countries and the five ninja villages, but on the other hand, if the ninja villages no longer recognize it, then the so-called peaceful position of the Iron Country is a joke.

When Okisuke heard Ai's words, a look of embarrassment flashed on his face, but he quickly became firm and said, "Admiral Mifune's decision is the attitude of our Iron Country.

If your village and Konoha Hidden Village have to destroy our country's rights and interests, then we can only fight to the death. ”

Okisuke knew that the Land of Iron would definitely not be the opponent of any of the Great Ninja Villages, let alone two Ninja Villages, and even after these two Ninja Villages made their statements, other Ninja Villages would probably participate in carving up their Iron Country.

But. The orders of the generals cannot be violated.

Tatsuma stood up, Shikaku also got up at the same time, and between breaths, the attitude of the worldly idlers on the two of them was completely restricted, Tatsuma became the Hokage who said nothing, and Shikaku also became an indifferent strategist who only calculated interests.

Tsuchidai slowed down, but also calmed down, sank, and stepped forward, helping Tatsuma and Shikaku open the door of the wooden house.

"Okisuke, it's been a long time."

Tatsuma spoke, Okisuke was stunned for a moment, recognized it, and then said, "The fourth generation of Hokage Sakamoto Tatsuma?" ”

Tatsuma nodded, came to Ai's side, faced Okisuke, and said, "I haven't seen each other for more than ten years since I said goodbye last time, I don't know if I can visit General Mifune?" ”

Okisuke didn't answer immediately, but he understood what Tatsuma meant, that is. He is not worthy of communicating with Tatsuma, and Tatsuma directly asks for face to face with Mifune.

This is understandable, after all, Tatsuma is now the Hokage, although it is said to be a junior in terms of age, but the status they represent is comparable, and even in the entire ninja world, Tatsuma can even suppress the old seniority of Mifune.

Even according to etiquette, Mifune had to come to greet Tatsuma in person, and it was the same to talk with Tatsuma, including Ai, instead of sending a subordinate to convey the attitude of the Iron Country.

"The general has not been summoned, and he has no right to decide."

Although Okisuke still refused, his attitude was much softer than when he treated Ai, although the Iron Country didn't ask about the world, but in the past few days of communication with Yun Ninja, Okisuke also learned some of the current situation of the ninja world.

Tatsuma and Konoha were strong enough to shock him.

During the Second Ninja World War, Konoha even asked them to help fight against the Rain Ninja, but in the past ten years, Konoha has developed to the point where it can defeat the other four ninja villages, and before the war is over, it has established the status of the biggest winner.

Therefore, Okisuke didn't dare to face Tatsuma with a tough attitude, after all. This is a ruthless person who hits someone else's country in the hinterland if he doesn't agree with him.

But where the duty lies, he can't agree to Chenma's request, Chenma didn't embarrass him, but asked: "Is General Mifune now sitting in the national capital, or has he come to the front line to deal with affairs?" ”

"The stakes are high, and the general is naturally coming to the front line, just in case."

Hearing this, Tatsuma nodded and said, "You are here in the snow, why don't you take a rest here." As for the talks. Since Admiral Mifune will not come to see me, I will go to see him. ”

"Hokage, what does this mean?"

Okisuke put his hand on the saber, and the chakra and sword momentum were condensed little by little, and his whole body was ready to shoot.

The other samurai behind him did the same, all looking at Tatsuma vigilantly, but Tatsuma did not answer, but took a step, and walked forward, Okisuke warned, "Hokage, please stop!" ”

Tatsuma turned his head slightly and gave Ai a look, Ai nodded, Tatsuma turned his head and took another step, and the chakra and power in Osuke's body exploded, and he was about to draw the knife, but Tatsuma took a step further and grabbed the hilt.

No matter how hard Okisuke tried, the saber couldn't be pulled out, and at the moment of stalemate, thunder and lightning continued to shuttle across the samurai.

The armor on their bodies also seemed to be controlled by lightning, restricting their movements, and between breaths, white smoke came out of their bodies, and their bodies became stiff.

"Knock~"

In the end, they fell down one by one, and were tied up by the cloud ninja who pounced on them, Tatsuma let go of his hand, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell directly to the ground, but the posture of his landing was not so stiff.

Tatsuma smiled and gave Okisuke a deep look, Okisuke should have also sensed that something was wrong with Mifune, but. Responsibilities.

Shaking his hand, Tatsuma said, "Ai, are you planning to electrocute me too?" ”

"It seems that my thunder escape attainments are still a little worse."

Ai didn't deny it, Chenma snorted lightly, but he didn't care much, both sides knew that they couldn't bring harm to Chenma, so naturally there was no need to care.

"Take care of the samurai lords of the Iron Country! Wait for me to come back. ”

Seeing that the samurai were all tied up, Ai opened his mouth and said, and the cloud ninjas echoed one after another, and Ai said to Tatsuma, "I'll go with you." ”

"Of course, after all, in the end, this is your Yunnin's business, and I'm just here to help."

Tatsuma shrugged his shoulders, laughed, then grabbed the back of Tutai's neck and said, "Tatsuma, don't use time and space ninjutsu, let's compete, who can arrive faster?" I've heard you're a fan of this kind of gambling. ”

Before Chenma could agree, Lu Jiu took a step back, glanced at the Tutai that was carried by Ai in his hand, looking a little pitiful, and said, "I also want to save face, at most."

As he spoke, he sealed, and the shadow under him moved, and even broke away from the ground, condensed into a rope shape, and stretched out to Tatsuma's side, Tatsuma smiled dumbly, and then nodded, and said:

"Thunder escape and instantaneous body art are the most suitable, and you are the most proficient ninja in thunder escape, so I naturally don't mind knowing it."

There is wool sent to the door, wouldn't it be a piece of sorry Ai if you don't pick it up? As for whether he could win, Tatsuma wasn't sure for sure, after all, he hadn't trained in the regular teleportation technique for a long time.

Tatsuma reined in the fire chakra released and said, "The first snowflake falls, that's the beginning, how about it?" ”

"Hmm."

Ai observed the goose feather snow that was no longer melted and evaporated on the way down, and the arc on his body flickered, and finally, the first snowflakes reached the ground.

"Bang Bang~"

There were two deep pits left on the ground, and all four of them disappeared, only to see two floating lights in the snow.
