If you look at the map, Land of Iron is located directly north of Land of Fire, a country close to the sea.
To be more precise, it is sandwiched between Land of Waterfall and Land of Rice Fields. It only has a narrow border with Land of Fire and has no direct contact with other major countries.
This geographical environment effectively ensures that it will not directly become a battlefield for Five Great Nations.
As a small country, Land of Iron has done a good job in protecting its traditional culture.
There is no ninja force in their country, only Samurai from the old era. Although it is Samurai, it can actually use the power of chakra.
Just by changing the term slightly, they have nothing to do with ninjas at all.
Special national conditions, special culture, special geographical environment... these three are the main reasons why Land of Iron can stay out of the previous Ninja World War.
Of course, staying out of things doesn't mean staying out of things.
In order not to be abandoned by the times, in order to continue to maintain the title of a neutral country, Land of Iron also took the initiative to undertake Five Kage Summit and provide security work.
It can be said that they have a good relationship with Five Great Nations because of this kind of compromise.
Land of Iron's special status is not something that other small countries are jealous of.
Why can you be neutral? Why can you maintain a friendly and mutually supportive relationship with Five Great Nations?
Hanzō was so jealous that he also wanted to follow the route of Land of Iron. But it's a pity that Land of Rain's position is so bad that no major country cares about him.
All said, geographical environment sometimes does determine the fate of a country!
Not to mention Hanzō, a guy who had been cold for a long time, half a month after Fourth Raikage decided to hold Five Kage Summit, Chen left the village with Minato and Nawaki and headed towards the venue of Five Kage Summit.
He had never been to Land of Iron before. The last time he went to Five Kage Summit was Third Hokage.
And Sarutobi Hiruzen brought guards Orochimaru and Sakumo.
Even when performing tasks in normal times, Chen never received any tasks related to Land of Iron, so he did not leave Flying Thunder God Technique Formula in advance.
The same is true for Minato.
Since Flying Thunder God couldn't be used, the three of them had to use their legs the whole time.
However, the speed was still very fast. In only three days, they arrived outside a thick fortress that was fully owned by the army.
There is basically no such thing as "Absolute Defense" among Shinobi World. After all, even Konoha can be attacked, so where is there any truly safe place?
Square.
However, the thick city wall with its foundation buried under the frozen soil and its upper part exposed to the wind and snow still gives humans the feeling of "Absolute Defense" here.
It is only August now, and weather like Land of Iron shows that this country, like Land of Snow, is also in a low temperature state for a long time.
As Fourth Hokage, Chen Dang walked towards the main entrance of the fortress first, and the Samurais, who were wrapped in thick armor and whose style of painting was completely different from that of the ninjas, appeared in their sight.
After verifying the identity of Hokage, the iron city gate opened.
As the hosts, the Samurais are very tightly guarded. Almost every five meters there is a Samurai standing guard in the fortress to prevent others from attacking.
It's just a question of whether these people combined can block a shadow.
Under the leadership of Samurai, Chen and others crossed the relatively empty external area and then arrived at a more hidden room, which was the venue for the meeting.
When they came here, Fourth Raikage, Third Tsuchikage, Fourth Kazekage and Fifth Mizukage had already arrived here first.
Everyone is staring at Fourth Hokage, who arrived last.
With a smile on his face, Chen had no consciousness of being late at all. He went straight to his seat and sat down, and then placed the hat bearing his identity on the conference table in front of him.
But this kind of formulaic smile, in the eyes of some people, is Konoha's "arrogance".
Just be arrogant, what does it matter?
Chen looked around indifferently, appraising these ninjas of the same status as himself.
Fourth Raikage A is taller than a few years ago. Yamato is darker and has a mustache. He looks very mature.
The last time the two met was Chunin Exams after the end of Second Great Ninja War.
They were still talking and laughing at that time, and even went to a hot spring together in the evening.
But now Ai Kanchen's eyes were filled with hatred.
This is understandable, after all Chen killed Third Raikage and then attacked Hidden Cloud Village.
But so what?
Ninja World War twice, in ten years, who has not had a blood feud with whom?
The so-called mutual understanding, the so-called peace... Hehe~ Even if Chen is willing to understand each other with Fourth Raikage, is he willing to understand with Chen?
That was the revenge of killing his father and attacking the village!
In this regard, Third Tsuchikage does a good job.
He is a bit older than Third Hokage, and can be said to be the longest-serving actor of Shinobi World.
Ōnoki is well-informed and has mastered Qi-nurturing Kung Fu. He has long been intangible with emotions and anger, and hatred... this kind of thing is not something he can show on his face.
But then again, Ōnoki doesn't show hatred on his face, but he looks like he is going to die in the next second, who is he pretending to?
Isn't this obviously pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
Chen Ke knew that this guy, Chibaku Tensei, was still able to resist Madara when he was over seventy years old, and Deep Forest Emergence was able to eliminate Madara with one hand.
The current Ōnoki is only in his fifties. In terms of true strength, he is the only one present here who is second only to Yu Chen.
Anyone who really thinks he is old is waiting to be tricked to death.
As for Fourth Kazekage Rasa... He wore thick eye shadow, and those who didn't know better thought he had panda eyes because he didn't sleep well last night.
At this time, Rasa was silent, with his hands crossed and his eyes gloomy.
Hidden Sand Village has now become a broken house, and Chen has been his lifelong nightmare... So he is trying his best to reduce his sense of existence so that others will notice him.
Fifth Mizukage, on the other hand, looked around, wondering if he had ADHD or was a little nervous.
The newly appointed Fifth Mizukage is named Hozuki Chijin. He is the holder of the double sword Hiramekarei. He is also the only one of Seven Ninja Swordsmen who is still alive.
Hidden Mist Village Talent is withering so badly nowadays that it is impossible to select a qualified Mizukage, and Hozuki Chijin is not only one of Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but also a ninja of the Hozuki Clan.
With the support of the Hozuki Clan, he successfully became Fifth Mizukage.
It can only be said that life's circumstances are unpredictable...Seven Ninja Swordsmen, who should have mostly died in Dai's hands, did not die in his hands, but still died due to various reasons.
But one of them, Hozuki Chijin, survived and successfully became Fifth Mizukage.
This fucking life, if Juzo Biwa knew about it, he would probably regret becoming Rogue Ninja.
If he doesn't leave, Fifth Mizukage will be his.
