Directly north of the Kingdom of Fire, there is a country called the Kingdom of Iron.
Because this country is located in the north, the weather is cold and snowy all year round.
What is even more strange is that there are almost no ninjas in the Iron Kingdom. They are entirely led by samurai, and the leader of the country is called a general. The current general of the Iron Kingdom is named Mifune, and he is also a samurai with excellent sword skills.
In this world where ninjas are prevalent, countries like the Iron Country are very rare.
At the same time, because the Iron Country also has a good armed force and a historically neutral and impartial attitude, this country often participates in the balance between the five major ninja countries as a coordinator to help each major country or its affiliated ninja villages conduct peace negotiations.
This time, the Five Shadows Conference initiated by Iwagakure, Kirigakure and Kumogakure was held in the capital of the Iron Kingdom. The notary who presided over this meeting was none other than General Mifune of the Iron Kingdom.
As the time for the start of the Five Kage Conference approaches, the ninjas from Iwagakure, Kirigakure and Kumogakure villages have arrived in the Kingdom of Iron one after another, but the ninjas from Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village are still missing.
“Tomorrow is the Five Kage Conference, and the people from Konoha and Sunagakure haven’t even seen a shadow. Aren’t they planning to come to the conference?”
In Mifune’s mansion, Onoki the Tsuchikage, Terumi Mizukage and Darui the Raikage were all there. Hearing that no one from Konoha and Sunagakure had arrived yet, Onoki said with a worried look.
Mifune shook his head and said: “Probably not. Both the Hokage and the Kazekage have officially replied to the letter below and will attend the Five Shadows Conference on time. I believe that with their status, they will not go back on their word.”
At this moment, the voice of Mifune’s subordinates came from outside the door.
“Mifune-sama, the people from Konoha and Sunagakure have arrived, and my subordinates have arranged for them to rest in the inn first.”
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Mifune looked at each other and the three Kage present, and then asked his subordinates: “How did the people from Konoha and Sunagakure come? It seems that there was no sign of them coming to our Iron Country before. .”
The subordinate hesitated and said: “I heard from the guard that he saw a whirlpool-shaped thing outside the city gate, and then people from Konoha and Sunagakure walked straight out of the whirlpool. As for the specific subordinate, do not understand.”
Terumi Mei who was on the side frowned when he heard this and said: “This should be some kind of time and space ninjutsu, and it doesn’t sound like the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. I really didn’t expect Konoha to have such a weird ability.”
Onoki nodded and said: “This kind of ability would be very terrifying if used in a war. By using this method to participate in the Five Shadows Conference, Konoha must also want to show off their power and put some pressure on us.”
In fact, Yusuke really didn’t think as much as Ohnoki said. The reason why he used Kamui’s space jumping ability to come to the Iron Kingdom was purely to save everyone’s time.
With Konoha’s current strength, there is no need to use such small means to demonstrate to other forces.
After knowing that everyone from Konoha and Sunagakure had arrived, several people present were relieved. After agreeing on what they would say at the Five Shadows Conference tomorrow, they all left Mifune’s mansion and returned to the inns in their respective villages. among.
the next day.
In the conference hall arranged by the Iron Kingdom, the shadows of the five major ninja villages gathered together. In addition to Kage, present were the host Mifune and Konoha’s chief advisor Yusuke.
Behind each of them stood one or two guards and assistants. Behind Tsuchikage Onoki were Fumuga and Kurotsuchi, behind Mizukage Terumi Mei were Ao and Chojuro, behind Raikage Darui were Todai Kazuki, and Kazekage Hagakura. Behind her is her disciple Maki, behind the Hokage Minato is Shiranui Genma, and behind Yusuke is the nominal bodyguard Anko.
After everyone was seated, Mifune, who was a notary, was the first to speak: “This Five Shadow Conference is held at the request of Your Excellencies, Tsuchikage, Mizukage and Raikage. The purpose of the event is to discuss Konoha The three Kages obviously have concerns about the unusual cooperative relationship with Sunagakure.”
After Mifune finished speaking, Onoki, who was the actual organizer, looked at Minato and Yusuke with a serious face: “Your Excellencies, the ninja world now maintains order in accordance with the rules designated by the first Hokage, and implements the one-country-one-nin-village system. It is precisely because of the existence of the five major ninja villages of the five major countries that the mutual balance and restriction ensure the peace of the ninja world.”
“But as the maker of this order, Konoha actually broke the rules with his own hands and took control of the military and political power of Sunagakure Village. This also destroyed the hard-won balance of the ninja world!”
Hearing this, Yusuke smiled and said: “There is no perfect system in the world. Everything is advancing with the times. The first generation just broke the old system and established a new one. Originally, Konoha and Sunagakure were allies, but the four Dai Fengkage actually launched an attack on Konoha. Obviously, the old system cannot avoid war and guarantee peace.”
“Everyone, look at it now. Konoha and Sunagakure are as close as one family, and there is no barrier at all. This is a great progress!”
Having said this, Yusuke looked at Ye Cang with a smile and said, “Kazekage-dono, are you right?”
When Yusuke asked this, the muscles on Ye Cang’s face twitched and he said expressionlessly: “That’s right!”
Mizukage Terumi Mei retorted: “Your words are sophistry. If all the major ninja villages do this and attack and control each other, then the ninja world will immediately be in chaos!”
Minato smiled and asked, “So what do you mean?”
Onoki said slowly: “Our request is very simple. We just want to maintain the independence of the five great ninja villages. As long as Konoha agrees to restore the independence of Sunagakure, remove all ninjas stationed in Sunagakure, and release Sunagakure’s elders Chiyo and Elder Ebizo allowed Sunagakure to rearrange the Kazekage on his own.”
“As for the losses caused to Konoha by Sunagakure, the three of us Kages are willing to double the compensation to Konoha on behalf of the three major ninja villages!”
It can be seen from Onoki’s words that although the Tsuchikage, Raikage and Mizukage are already on the same side, they are still very wary of Konoha. They made considerable concessions while proposing conditions, which seemed to be full of sincerity.
However, for Yusuke and Minato, who aim to unify the ninja world, it is simply impossible for Sunagakure Village, which has been included in Konoha’s management, to become independent again.
Looking at Onoki, who was obviously the leader of the three shadows, Minato said with a smile: “Konoha is not forcibly occupying Sunagakure Village. We, Konoha, have reached an agreement with the daimyo of the Land of Wind, and as Kazekage, Hayakura Your Excellency was also personally appointed by the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind. If you have any objections to this plan, you may want to ask the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind to discuss it.”
