Land of Iron.
Outside the capital, in a giant castle.
"Is everything ready?"
Mifune looked at the dozen subordinates wearing samurai armor standing in front of him and asked with a very serious look.
"Yes, Master Mifune, all necessary preparations are in place!"
These people also immediately bowed their heads and responded.
"Well, very good. The next few days are the most important period. Everyone must be more vigilant. Each unit and team leader must conduct 24-hour patrols. The investigation in the border area must also be raised to a higher level. Do you understand!?"
"Yes!"
Five Kage Summit Generally speaking, it is impossible for any accidents to occur.
But sometimes I am afraid that some people are not clear-headed.
Although this is a matter between Five Great Shinobi Villages, if a problem arises between them Land of Iron, it will easily affect them Land of Iron. This is something Mifune absolutely does not want to see unfold, so naturally they must be more cautious in all aspects!
Especially when I think of the Iwagakure that Fourth Tsuchikage is the famous Uchiha Shōji moment, Mifune is the extra head It hurts, that's the ruthless person who defected from Konohagakure, then beat up Sunagakure three years ago, and severely wounded Kumogakure some time ago!
Mifune can only hope that nothing will happen to Five Kage Summit this time!
Even though Mifune is very confident in his own strength, he still has to choose his target!
Uchiha Shōji is such a ruthless person.
It's someone Mifune definitely doesn't want to mess with.
This time Five Kage Summit must be more tense and exciting than any previous meeting. It must be said that this Land of Iron samurai general is really walking on thin ice.
Moreover, as a small country that can be regarded as sandwiched between Land of Earth and Land of Lightning, to be honest, Mifune has been under great pressure during this period of time. He may also be the kind of person who is eager to see the end of the war.
The so-called absolute neutrality.
It really depends on the person and the occasion, and it was only after Mifune led many of his subordinates that Five Kage Summit made all the relevant arrangements.
Five Kage also arrived at about the same time.
"Master Mifune, Master Fourth Raikage is here!"
As the closest country to Land of Iron.
And Fourth Raikage happens to be in the frontline position.
After receiving the corresponding news and arranging a series of frontline defense tasks, Fourth Raikage set off.
While the other four actors were still some distance away from Land of Iron, this one Fourth Raikage arrived at Land of Iron a long time in advance.
As soon as they crossed the border, there was a special Land of Iron warrior as a guide, who led Fourth Raikage and his party of three people towards this giant castle, which was far away from the capital. The reason why Five Kage was not placed in the capital.
That's not to say I should neglect Five Kage.
But considering that if the negotiations do not go smoothly and Five Kage starts a fight, the castle will be destroyed if it is destroyed. It will be rebuilt at the worst, but if there is a fight in the capital, it will be an absolute disaster for Land of Iron!!
This is something Mifune never wants to see unfold.
It is already a small country, and if its capital is vandalized again, they Land of Iron will collapse directly.
As for the arrangement of Land of Iron, the general Mifune.
Fourth Raikage, who was the first to arrive, didn't have any dissatisfaction. In the final analysis, it was just a place for negotiation. There was no need to ask for too much.
"Welcome, Lord Raikage!"
Mifune also came to the main entrance of the castle in person, looking at Fourth Raikage with a cold look on his face, even though he said nothing.
But just with this look on his face, Mifune could tell the current mood of this Fourth Raikage.
This is also inevitable.
You must know that in this war, Kumogakure suffered the most tragic losses since the founding of the village. Even if Third Raikage in Third Shinobi World War died in the battle before, or if the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers rebelled much longer, the severity of Second Raikage's death was far less severe than in this war!
After all, in those two wars, even if Kumogakure suffered heavy losses, the opponent was not much better.
But this time it's different!
Iwagakure defeated Kumogakure almost effortlessly. Kumo Ninja suffered countless casualties and prisoners. The fall of Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki severely damaged the entire Kumogakure. It is only natural that Fourth Raikage should have such an expression.
"Well, have the other shadows arrived?"
After all, Mifune can be regarded as the person in charge of a country, and in terms of strength, he is at least a Quasi-Kage. When he was young, he had the experience of fighting against Hanzō of the Salamander, who was known as a demigod. Although it was a disastrous defeat, there is no doubt that Shinobi World still has a high reputation over the entire Shinobi World!
Fourth Raikage A also needs to give Mifune a certain degree of respect.
"Lord Raikage is the first one to arrive. The other four shadow masters are still on the way. Please come in first!"
After all, it's still only January.
Land of Iron is located in the northernmost area of the mainland.
This is a country with cold temperatures.
When winter comes, there will be several heavy snowfalls almost every year. This time Five Kage Summit was held just in time for the sudden heavy snowfall of Land of Iron, and the whole country was covered in a layer of silver!
"Yeah!"
Fourth Raikage A also nodded slightly.
Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Mifune, they stepped into the interior of the castle. Two guards followed Fourth Raikage. One was a tall woman with short blond hair and a huge chest. It was Fourth Raikage. One of the exclusive secretaries of E, Kumogakure is responsible for the good looks among Original Work, and is also Samui who has the level of Jōnin.
Another man with the same short blond hair is Kumo Ninja named Nozomi who also appears as Raikage's guard like Five Kage Summit in Original Work!
Although only sixteen or seventeen years old!
But he is an elite Jonin who is good at using genjutsu, medical ninjutsu, and has a superhuman level of perception of ninjutsu!
Alongside Darui, who died in the hands of Shōji, Fourth Raikage is the genius of the next generation Kumo Ninja that Fourth Raikage values most!
And he is very wise and calm!
Fourth Raikage's previous plan was to make Darui the next generation Raikage, and to make Nozomi the next Dodai!
This is Fourth Raikage's big plan for his own ninja village in the next forty years! But everything was ruined!
Destroyed by a ninja village in the hands of one person!
Whether Darui, Dodai, or Yugito, Killer B, these four people are almost all because of Shōji died, even if Dodai was captured by the ferret, it does not prevent Fourth Raikage A from placing this blame on Shōji's head.
Who made Shōji the Lord Fourth Tsuchikage that is now Iwagakure!
"Lord Raikage, please be more restrained. This time Five Kage Summit is very important to us Kumogakure. We must use the power of Konoha and Sunagakure as much as possible, and even Kirigakure, so that we Kumogakure can gain more benefits!"
Step into this castle.
As the Five Kage Summit time gets closer, hope can obviously feel that his Fourth Raikage heart is getting more and more restless.
What is the reason.
hope naturally knows it very well.
It's just because of the upcoming Fourth Tsuchikage - Uchiha Shōji. From the bottom of his heart, hope also resents Shōji, not to mention the seriousness of this war in his own village. As for the casualties, just because Darui is a close friend of Nozomi, Nozomi has plenty of reasons to resent Shōji, but as the best among the younger generation Kumo Ninja, Nozomi is also the rational one.
He also understood how difficult and critical the situation his Ninja Village was facing now was!
To put it bluntly, without the timely assistance of Konoha and Sunagakure, the Iwagakure Ninja army would have attacked Kumogakure in the past few days, and whether the own Ninja Village could withstand Iwagakure's all-out attack!?
The answer is obviously no!
A full six thousand Kumo Ninja were lost on the front line, and after Dodai Sang, Darui, Yugito Sang were killed and trapped one after another, After falling behind, his own Fourth Raikage was also seriously injured, and Killer B-san was also personally suppressed and captured by Iwagakure's Lord Fourth Tsuchikage!
From the fact that Yugito's own mulberry can be controlled by Uchiha Shōji, and then driven to fight against their Kumo Ninja, it can be concluded that Killer B fell into the hands of Iwagakure Ninja is 100% sure to have the same result. Even if one pair of Mangekyō Sharingan probably cannot control two pairs of Tailed Beast, there are two other pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan!
Uchiha Fugaku and Shisui Uchiha are all recognized Mangekyō Sharingan holders of Shinobi World!
The latter just appeared on the battlefield.
One goes down and the other goes up.
The strength gap between Kumogakure and Iwagakure will only become more and more disparate!
So even if you don't want to admit it, you must understand clearly that Konoha and Sunagakure are their Kumogakure biggest and last hope!
This time Five Kage Summit is above.
What hope most hopes to see is that with the support of Konoha and Sunagakure, not only will the war end, but also Two-Tails, Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and those captured Kumo Ninja will be able to find a way to return to their own ninja village!
Even if there are other costs to pay.
No matter what!
For them Kumogakure.
The two Tailed Beast and the captured Kumo Ninja are the most important things at the moment.
Therefore, this young Kumo Ninja hopes that his Lord Raikage can deal with this Five Kage Summit more rationally.
You must not get mad immediately when you see Uchiha Shōji.
That would do no good to our Ninja Village.
hope can even predict that in this meeting, the young Lord Fourth Tsuchikage will definitely try every means to anger his own Lord Raikage with words.
"Hmph, I understand! When Kazekage and Hokage arrive, you can come and report immediately. Before the meeting, I want to have a good talk with Hokage and Kazekage!"
Ai Leng said with a snort.
As Raikage in the village.
Of course Ai is very aware that in such a situation, his side actually has no initiative at all. Once his reason is swallowed up by anger, he can only fall into a completely passive situation!
But we all know the truth, but whether it can be done by then is another matter. If human beings were really creatures that would learn lessons 100% and always be rational, the world would be a beautiful place long ago!
Seven emotions and six desires.
This is the place where humans are least able to control themselves!
This is the most beautiful thing about human beings, and it is also the biggest shortcoming of human beings!
Of course, Nozomi is very aware of the character of his Lord Raikage, but as a subordinate with such little qualifications, it is already very impressive to be able to say the previous words, but he can do the same as Dodai. What's more, even Dodai cannot really directly admonish Ai. After all, he is Raikage of his own Ninja Village!
"Yes, Lord Raikage. However, with all due respect, Mr. Mizukage, I think you should be able to get in touch with me. Dodai Sang also said before that there is a high possibility that there is a relationship between Kirigakure and Iwagakure. They seem to be together, but with the current situation of Shinobi World, even Kirigakure will definitely be wary of Iwagakure. As long as we can win over the three villages to support us Kumogakure, we can get more things back for our village!"
hope first bowed his head in response, and after a brief pause, he continued to speak the following words.
Although saying this, there is a sense of teaching Lord Raikage how to do things, but hope has to say that just like in the early years, Darui was led by Fourth Raikage. Cultivated on the side, hope has been with Dodai in these years since he graduated from the Ninja Academy and showed his outstanding side among many Kumo Ninja.
Under the influence of hearing and seeing.
It also makes my position and responsibilities clearer!
Now that Dodai has been sacrificed, he must take up the responsibility of Dodai before. This is his duty!
Even though he is very young, hope at this moment has already shown the capacity, thinking and consciousness that an outstanding staff officer should have.
The more outstanding a person is, the easier it is for him to grow rapidly in difficult situations.
This is what hope is like at this moment!
Before setting off this time, the few remaining elders in the village also expressed their opinions to Xier, hoping that this young Jōnin, who was destined to succeed Dodai, could fulfill Dodai's previous responsibilities and play a corresponding role!
"Yeah!"
Fourth Raikage also looked at it for a moment before finally nodding slowly.
Now they Kumogakure really don't have any capital to be willful, and every step they take is cautious.
After seeing her Raikage accept her opinion, Xi's tense expression instantly relaxed.
Samui, who was sitting nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
At this time, I am really afraid that my Lord Raikage will become stubborn.
As long as our own Raikage can stay as rational and calm as possible, even if this Five Kage Summit battle is still not easy, at least it won't be a setback.
'I hope Hokage, Kazekage, and Mizukage can do their best to support us! '
hope looked at the snowy scene outside the window, thinking silently in her heart with a solemn look.
It is really uncomfortable to pin one's own hopes on the attitude of other shinobi villages, but this is the reality that they Kumogakure must face and accept!
And it was also after Fourth Raikage arrived.
The next four shadows also entered the territory of Land of Iron one after another. It is worth mentioning that Shōji was the second shadow to arrive. Originally, Shōji should be the same as on the journey. Sarutobi Hiruzen is almost the same, but this Third Hokage not only did not dare to go in sync with Shōji, but also stayed in his own camp for a while, waiting until Fourth Kazekage—Rasa came to the closest position.
The two of them set off together and headed towards the territory of Land of Iron.
Shōji naturally didn't know about this little move of Third Hokage, but even if he knew it, he wouldn't find it strange. To put it bluntly, in the battle a few days ago, his record of powerfully defeating Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and Fourth Raikage was definitely enough to intimidate the entire Shinobi World!
Such a strong record.
There is no doubt that Shōji is the number one Shinobi World!
Of course, as old people like Third Hokage who have personally experienced the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara periods, they naturally know that if it is just such a performance, there is still a clear gap between the strength of Shōji and the two real gods of Shinobi World and Shinobi Asura.
But who can be sure that it is the full power of Shōji!?
What's more, even if you really try your best!
With such a strength, Shōji has definitely surpassed the previous Third Raikage. That Third Raikage died of exhaustion after fighting ten thousand Iwagakure Ninja for three days and three nights. Looking at Shōji based on this standard, there is really no problem at all.
Therefore, if Third Hokage still dares to go with Shōji, then there is something wrong, even if the escorts led by Third Hokage are Jiraiya and Kakashi.
But even if the three of them go together, they will probably not be Shōji's opponent.
Not to mention, Shōji also has a guard.
Here, the clearest move is to be cautious and choose to go with Fourth Kazekage—Rasa. In Third Hokage's view, as long as Shōji does not reach the high level of Uchiha Madara, their configuration is still enough to fight against Uchiha Shōji!
It must be said that the "old ginger" Third Hokage is quite spicy to a certain extent. The height that Uchiha Madara used to be in Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan mode was really achieved after years of hard work and growth!
It has only been two short years since Shōji opened Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Of course, it is impossible to reach the height of Ancestor Madara. If it is so easy to be on par with Uchiha Madara, then it is really underestimated!
There is still a very obvious gap between the two.
If we really want the current Shōji to face Uchiha Madara in Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan mode, the result should be more than enough self-preservation and mostly defeat!
To put it bluntly, there is a high probability that it cannot be defeated!
But if Shōji wants to run, it will be difficult for Madara to kill Shōji!
However, this is only based on the fact that Shōji only uses the power of the Uchiha Clan's bloodline. If the power of Senjutsu and Dragon Vein are included, the result is not certain. Of course, Shōji himself has no idea whether he can win the battle!
If you can know the result of a thing like combat by just looking at the superficial values, it would really be a joke!
We still have to fight to find out what the result will be.
But what is certain is that if Shōji really uses all its firepower, Third Hokage will definitely be defeated even if it brings Jiraiya, Kakashi and Fourth Kazekage—Rasa together. The only uncertainty is whether it can escape.
But after all, Shōji is now the number one person above Shinobi World!
Whether in name or in reality.
Probably except for the one who owns Rinnegan and claims to be a god, Nagato children's shoes will not recognize it!
And it was also when Shōji arrived in Land of Iron.
The atmosphere in the entire Land of Iron has become tense. Now no one in the entire Shinobi World is unaware of Shōji's illustrious name. The Land of Iron warrior who leads Shōji is the person Mifune trusts the most. ——Chōsuke, not only has his personal strength comparable to Five Great Shinobi Villages Elite Jōnin, he is one of the few warriors in Land of Iron whose status is second only to Mifune. He is also deeply trusted by Mifune in dealing with others.
But even though Chōsuke is following Shōji at this moment, deep down in his heart he still doesn't dare to relax at all.
Even if his age is twice that of Shōji.
But Shōji is one of Five Kage after all, and more importantly, the reputation of the Uchiha Clan is reproduced in Shōji.
This is the new generation of Shinobi Asura that is recognized among Shinobi World and is directly catching up with the Uchiha Madara of the past. Chōsuke will certainly make your heart strings tighten.
"Lord Tsuchikage, this is it. In front is the place where our country has arranged to hold a meeting for Lord Five Kage. Our General Mifune is waiting for your arrival in front!"
Chōsuke, who was very cautious and careful all the way, finally brought Shōji to the castle where Five Kage Summit was held. When he saw the figure of his general Mifune from a distance, Chōsuke's tight heartstrings could finally relax a little.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Chōsuke is sorry."
Shōji, who was taking the lead and walking at the front, also said with a faint smile and a slight nod.
"No, this is my duty. Lord Tsuchikage You're welcome."
Chōsuke also bowed slightly, showing some respect Responded.
The two figures following closely behind are the guards led by Shōji this time. Shisui Uchiha is on the left and Akatsuchi is on the right.
Although at first Shōji had the bad idea of directly bringing Yugito and Killer B as escorts to the meeting.
After thinking about it later, I gave up.
There is no need to do this to deliberately stimulate Fourth Raikage. At most, it can show the power of one's own Uchiha Clan Mangekyō Sharingan. However, this will only irritate Fourth Raikage and further arouse the vigilance of other Three Great Shinobi Villages, without any benefit.
Shōji did this because he lost his mind.
This time Five Kage Summit.
Shōji's goal is very clear. On the basis of ensuring that the benefits he eats will not be spit out, or to be more precise, he will not spit them out in vain, try to suppress and weaken Kumogakure as much as possible.
make it happen.
Kumogakure is almost destroyed without any difference!
Unless other Three Great Shinobi Villages is really determined to fight for the interests of Kumogakure, then Shōji will indeed take a slight step back based on fear of Obito and Nagato, but this possibility is infinitely close to 0!
Shōji understands it better than anyone else.
What kind of existence is the so-called relationship between countries.
friendship? alliance? That's a joke.
Interests are always the only thing that determines relations between countries.
