Undercurrents and a wedding crisis

The Land of Iron.

Are you sure you can make decisions on behalf of two national Feudal Lord on your own?

"Of course, Your Excellency, if you were to step out of seclusion, I believe the Shinobi World wouldn't necessarily have to be ruled by Ninja alone."

A man dressed in thick clothes stood in front of an old man whose head was wrapped in bandages.

"Hmph, don't you know that our Land of Iron has been neutral for a long time?"

"Besides, you yourself are a Ninja, so why are you telling me that ninjas don't necessarily have to be the only ones who respect the Ninja? I, Mifune, may be old, but I'm not senile!"

Mifune said coldly.

An aura of menace still emanated from him.

The man before her changed his expression slightly. "What I said is absolutely true. These words not only represent the will of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, but also the will of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire."

"You must know about the legendary young man who recently appeared in the Shinobi World, right?"

Mifune frowned slightly. "You mean that red-haired boy, Akari?"

"Yes, it's him. He's done things that have greatly displeased the Feudal Lord, but Feudal Lord 've turned a blind eye because he's still young and has great Potential."

But precisely because of this, Akari became even more arrogant. He killed the Lightning Shadow, the Tsuchikage, destroyed the Cloud Village, and just a few days ago, he even killed the Daimyo of the Land of Earth!

The man said indignantly.

His face flushed red, as if he had killed not the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, but his own father.

Upon hearing this, Mifune realized the gravity of the situation.

"Are you telling the truth? The Daimyo of the Land of Earth has been killed?"

"I know that you have been a neutral country for a long time, but I understand that you must not be completely indifferent to intelligence matters. I presume you have received news about the Daimyo's Daimyo of the Land of Earth, especially about the loud noise that night."

"That loud noise... does that mean that night was the assassination attempt carried out by Akane against the Daimyo of the Land of Earth?"

"Sigh," the man sighed, "If it were an assassination, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire might have tolerated it, but this wasn't an assassination; it was clearly open murder."

He wants to tell everyone that he, Akashi, killed the Daimyo of the Land of Earth! But behind him stands Konoha, the Land of Fire.

Therefore, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire finally made the painful decision to part ways with Akane; no matter how powerful Akane was, he no longer intended to protect him.

The next person whose life is threatened is the Daimyo of the Land of Wind. Therefore, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has asked me, on behalf of both Feudal Lord, to request that you come out of seclusion and rid the Shinobi World of this scourge!

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Mifune.

They noticed the other person was still frowning, looking slightly hesitant.

He gritted his teeth and spoke again, "Lord Mifune, only your Land of Iron can save this Shinobi World now. If Aka, this malignant tumor, grows stronger, she will destroy the Shinobi World in the future."

Even you... I'm afraid...

"How dare you!"

Two or three steel warriors dressed in full white armor stepped forward from behind.

Mifune slightly extended his hand.

The steel warriors stopped.

"Although the Red Army hasn't grown up yet, I've heard they can even fight Extraterrestrials and go to the moon. You want me, from the Land of Iron, to fight them?"

The man before him quickly said, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, the claim of fighting Extraterrestrials, as testified by the two Feudal Lord, is not true."

Furthermore, you won't be the only one to exert your efforts; other small countries are also among the Feudal Lord's invited guests.

Upon hearing this, Mifune nodded slightly. "If that's the case, I'm willing to rid the Shinobi World of this scourge."

After all, the Land of Iron has always presented itself as a friendly nation. If the Shinobi World hadn't truly faced the calamity you described, I would never have interfered in this matter."

"We understand. The Feudal Lord said that once this cancer is removed, the Five Great Nations will need to be reorganized, since we already have three less Feudal Lord and there are still vacancies..."

The man didn't explain everything clearly, but even at this point, Mifune understood the meaning.

Is the Land of Iron going to become one of the Five Great Nations, and even make me the Feudal Lord who will rule the country from behind the scenes?

That sounds pretty good. Besides, besides Akane, Konoha only has the Legendary Sannin. It's worth a try.

The Land of Iron has been dormant for so long; it's time to let the Shinobi World world know of our Land of Iron.

Mifune narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I understand. When shall we depart?"

Upon hearing this, the man was immediately delighted. "Sir," he said, "Please muster the troops today and depart tomorrow."

"What?" Mifune frowned immediately. "Tomorrow? So soon?"

"You may not know this, but tomorrow is Chi's wedding day, a time when they are most relaxed."

Furthermore, the Fifth Hokage was preparing for a grand wedding for Akane with the entire village. At that time, how could they have imagined that someone would attack them at this crucial moment?

"To do something like this during someone's wedding?"

Mifune frowned.

He seemed slightly reluctant.

At a time like this, stop pretending!

The man cursed inwardly.

He forced a smile. "Your Excellency, when Akata killed the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, did he consider whether the other party was about to celebrate a birthday? Such a cancer deserves no pity."

Mifune nodded slightly. "Understood. You can go back now. We'll rush there tonight and should arrive in the Land of Fire by tomorrow morning."

Of course, this is only a portion of our elite warriors; the rest of the main force will arrive at least four or five hours later.

The man's lips curled into a slight smile. "It's alright. Elite troops are enough. Add to that the elite troops from other countries, and I believe Konoha might just surrender and hand over Akane."

"Chukai, Mifune's subordinate, go and prepare the troops."

The two armored warriors behind him responded, "Yes!"

Meanwhile, other countries in the Shinobi World, such as the Land of Frost and the Land of Grass, and other small countries with dreams, are experiencing the same thing.

It's hard to say how many other small countries would be willing and dare to attack Konoha.

The Land of Waterfalls, Takigakure.

"Village chief! Let me out!"

A green-haired, dark-skinned girl was screaming loudly inside a water balloon.

"Fu, just stay inside and rest assured. This matter is not something our Takigakure can interfere with."

A man looked at Fu inside the water sphere and spoke softly.

"The person they want to kill is Chi! Although he's only the forty-third friend I've made, in my heart he's already in my top three! How can I just stand by Standing by and Doing Nothing!"

"What are you trying to save? Our Takigakure is just a small village, barely able to protect itself. I was already under immense pressure just to refuse their invitation to join us in attacking Konoha."

The man sighed softly, "If the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Feudal Lord of the Land of Wind ultimately succeed in destroying Konoha, my decision may very well mean we can never recover."

"Since things have come to this, let's choose to trust Kanami and go inform him!"

"Impossible. Our routes to Konoha overlap; doing this would only put everyone in the village in danger."

"That Kanami, he can easily extract a portion of Tailed Beast, I think you don't need to worry at all, let's leave it at that."

After speaking, the man turned and left.

"By the way, keep a close eye on her and reinforce the Water Prison Technique every now and then. Even if she really breaks free, at least hold out until tomorrow."

"Yes, Village Chief!"

"Hey! Let me out!!"
