Chapter 310 The interview begins

The country of iron is located in the northern part of the mainland.

It is one of the few neutral countries in the ninja world. The nobles and people in the country highly respect the way of the samurai. Therefore, in the country of iron, you can clearly feel the popularity and prosperity of the samurai culture.

As for the country of iron, which is founded by warriors, even the five major countries cannot ignore the country's armed forces.

Iron Forest.

A huge forest covered with snow all year round, covered in snow and covered in silver.

In the extremely cold forest, there are about hundreds of warriors, encircling the core of the forest with a solid formation, and carrying out strict protection like death.

In the protected area of these warriors, stands a magnificent and majestic castle.

In the castle, in a quiet room, suddenly the door was knocked.

"Come in."

The voice in the quiet room looked old, but it was full of majesty and strength, full of energy.

"Excuse me, Mifune-sama."

The samurai opened the door, with a sword on his waist, stood at the door meticulously and respectfully, and said to the people in the quiet room.

"It's okay, what's the matter?"

The man called "Mifune" has gray hair and wrinkles on his face. He is no longer young, but his eyes are still clear and bright, like a sharp knife, piercing people's hearts.

He sat cross-legged on the cushion, put his favorite knife on his knees, and cleaned it with a handkerchief to make the blade sharper. The edge of the blade shone with a menacing cold light, which made people's eyes sting.

"Master Tsuchikage and his subordinates have arrived just now, and they are resting in the guest room."

The samurai replied.

"Really? Then you can't be too rude. Counting the time, the rest of the shadows, as well as the guests from the kingdom of ghosts, must be arriving soon. How is the venue for the meeting?"

Mifune asked.

"It has been arranged."

"Should it be arranged according to the requirements I said?"

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with it."

"That's good. Our country of iron is a neutral country. We must maintain an absolutely neutral attitude at all times and act as the host of this meeting impartially."

Mifune put the beloved sword on his knee back into the sheath around his waist, stood up from the cushion, and tidied up the creases on his clothes.

"yes."

The samurai lowered his head and still answered respectfully.

"Let's go, follow me to meet Your Excellency Tuying."

Mifune stepped out of the quiet room with steady steps, and led the samurai towards the guest room where Tsuchikage was.

The wind and snow are freezing, and the weather is abnormally cold.

When he was about to approach the meeting place, Shiraishi slowed down, changed to a walking posture, and headed towards the castle where the meeting was held.

At this moment, three warriors stopped in front of Baishi and his party. The leading warrior came out, pressed the handle of the knife at his waist, and said to Baishi, "Is it His Excellency Chiba Shiraishi from the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

The attitude is meticulous, there is no obvious arrogance or malice, just a simple greeting.

"Yes."

Shiraishi nodded.

"Excuse me, my name is Lijiao, and I am a subordinate of Mifune-sama."

The samurai named Lijiao is very tall and powerful. Judging from his flawless standing posture, he is a vigorous and resolute warrior.

Samurai Lijiao glanced at Shiraishi, Ayane, and Chiko, and finally locked his eyes on Chiko, frowning slightly, kid?

No matter how you look at it, this is a child less than ten years old, dozing off in a daze, holding a long gun that is much longer than the body in his arms, and the long gun is tied with a bandage, giving people a very weird sense of disobedience.

However, Lijiao didn't say anything, and the ninja couldn't use common sense to judge. Children, especially, should not let their guard down.

It is enough to prove that the other party is extraordinary if he can serve as a guard together with Hinata Ayane, who once overwhelmed the fourth generation of Raikage.

"Next, I will lead the three of you to the castle where the meeting is held, please."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and led the two warriors towards the castle without procrastinating.

Shiraishi didn't say anything, and he and Ayane quietly followed the inner corner and walked towards the castle. Chizi moved a beat slower, followed up, opened his mouth slightly, let out a calm and weak breathing sound, and exhaled cold white air.

In such a cold weather, drowsiness strikes like a beast, making Chizi want to find a warm bed to sleep in.

Come to the main entrance of the castle. At the entrance, there are about a dozen saber warriors guarding closely. Their eyes are sharp, and their palms are the same as the inner corners.

Because the power of the samurai is concentrated on the blade and swordsmanship, although they do not know how to use ninjutsu, they can also grant Chakra to enhance the lethality of the enemy.

In this ninjthemed era, the power of the samurai cannot be underestimated.

Especially Admiral Mifune of the Iron Country, who is a famous ninja swordsman. When he was still in Konoha, Shiraishi had heard Sakumo praise the Admiral Mifune of the Iron Country more than once, as the top sword master in the Ninja world.

It is said that it has an extremely amazing explosive power, and the ninja was killed by the blade without a chance to connect the seal.

Just as the three of Shiraishi were preparing for the main entrance of the other country's castle and entered the castle, there was a loud noise from behind, and a terrifying chakra stabbed from behind.

Its astonishing aura made it impossible for the surrounding samurai to react in time.

Chizi also woke up from his drowsiness, quickly grasped the spear with both hands, stood behind Shiraishi and Ayane without hesitation, put the spear in front of him, jumped up, and blocked.

Boom!

Thunder and lightning, snowflakes flying.

Chizi's body directly turned into a cannonball, flew into the castle, hit the wall at the end of the road, made a rumbling sound, and was buried by earth and rocks.

"Your Excellency Lei, Raikage, please stop!"

Samurai Rijiao realized at this time that the person who attacked Shiraishi and the others was none other than the Fourth Raikage of Cloud Hidden Village who had come to participate in the Five Kage talks.

Immediately, his figure flashed, blocking the way ahead of the fourth generation of Raikage. Although there was nervous sweat on his face, the belief of the samurai did not make him take a step back, even when facing Raikage, one of the five kages.

He would like to follow the teachings of Admiral Mifune. In this Five Kage Talks, the Iron Council will maintain absolute neutrality. It is only to maintain the order of the Five Kage Talks, not to create enemies.

Therefore, protecting the safety of everyone involved in the talks is an iron rule that warriors must abide by even if they sacrifice their lives. They will not shrink back from anyone.

"Samurai, you should step back. Standing in front of you is Raikage-sama, one of the Five Kages, if you don't want to lose your life."

Standing behind the Fourth Raikage were the two Jnin guards, one of them came out. He had the unique dark skin and thick lips of the Land of Thunder. On his left and right shoulders, there were tattoos with the words 'Thunder' and 'Water' respectively, and he carried a broad-bladed epee on his back.

He scratched his head and kindly asked the samurai to step back.

"The responsibility lies, and it is hard to obey. If Raikage-sama continues to go his own way, the next opponent will be next."

Samurai Lijiao's eyes were firm, he pulled out the saber from his waist without hesitation, and there was no fear in his eyes.

That Yun Yinshang reluctantly said: "Sorry, boss, the negotiation failed."

"It doesn't matter, Darui, my opponent is not a samurai. After many years, let me see how strong you are, white-eyed woman."

The fourth generation of Raikage took a step forward, the chakra on his body was extremely violent, and the dense electric light was as terrifying and astonishing as a thunderstorm.

Throbbing thunderous eyes passed the warrior's corner and landed on Ayane behind him.

While Shiraishi was ignored by the Fourth Raikage.

"It's still as brutal as before. This is an important moment for the Five Kages to talk. As one of the Five Kages, Raikage, is it really okay to continue messing around like this?"

Ayane sighed with a headache.

She knew this was going to happen.

"Stop talking nonsense like this, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

His hair stands on end, and the Thunder Dunk armor on Fourth Raikage's body is further berserk. The electric currents and snow that are visible to the naked eye are all repelled, making it impossible to get close to Fourth Raikage's strong body.

"I'm different from you, I don't want to embarrass the samurai here. The battle should be avoided."

Ayane swept her eyes at the surrounding samurai who were facing a formidable enemy, and all of them followed the samurai Rikaku, pulled out the saber from his waist, and pointed at the Fourth Raikage.

This is the territory of the Iron Kingdom. Since he is the host of the Five Kages Conference, the samurai has a reason to maintain the order of the conference venue. This will cannot be shaken.

"I also think this is not good, Raikage-sama, please stop."

Another Kumonin Jominin with short yellow hair stepped forward to dissuade Fourth Raikage from his behavior at this moment.

Different from most people in the Land of Thunder, this Yunyin Jominin with short yellow hair has very fair skin and looks a bit delicate.

"Cut. It's boring."

The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly, and scanned the surrounding samurai who were staring vigilantly. He also knew that if he wanted to fight Ayane, these samurai would definitely come up to make trouble.

Although this little samurai can't pose any threat to him, Mifune, the general of the country of iron, still needs to give a little face.

Seeing the fourth generation of Raikage remove the Thunder Dun armor from his body, the warrior Rikaku breathed a sigh of relief, and put the blade back into the scabbard, and the rest of the samurai also followed Rikage to put away the blade.

A turmoil subsides.

Chizi walked out of the castle at this time, and he walked up to Baishi, his immature face wrinkled together, and began to complain:

"That uncle's fist hurts so much."

Baishi touched Chizi's head, but didn't say anything.

This brat! Fourth Raikage narrowed his eyes.

He knew how heavy his punch was just now, and it was definitely not something a normal ninja could easily handle.

As for Chizi, except for a little dust on his clothes, his body seemed to be fine, jumping around alive and well, causing a look of surprise and uncertainty to flash in his eyes.

"Is this kid a freak? After taking a blow from the boss, he can still act like nothing happened here..."

Daroui clicked his tongue and became concerned.

Sure enough, the one who can serve as a guard with Hinata Ayane, how can it be a simple brat, there must be something special about it.

"Young people nowadays really don't know how to be polite. It is very rude to make noise outside and disturb the rest of the elders, boy Raikage."

An aged laugh sounded, and in front of the main gate of the castle, a small figure floated out, with his hands behind his back, he bluntly rebuked the fourth generation of Raikage for his rude behavior.

"What are you talking about, old man Tuying! Do you want to fight?"

Fourth Raikage coldly swept towards the little old man who was floating up.

"Hehe, young people are always impatient, just like your father, the third Raikage."

Onoki's words undoubtedly stung a certain sensitive nerve in the fourth generation of Raikage's heart.

An incomparably heavy atmosphere brewed in the open space between Onogi and Fourth Raikage, and the samurai standing around all felt this silent sense of oppression, swallowing their saliva one after another.

Once the ninjas of the Five Kages fought, the aura alone was enough to make people feel chest tight and breathless, making it difficult to breathe.

At this tense moment, a voice sounded from behind Ohnoki, like a sharp blade:

"Please stop, both of you, presumably Tsuchikage and Raikage don't want to see a messy meeting place either."

Samurai Lijiao walked up to the owner of the voice and bowed respectfully.

"Master Mifune."

The person who came out to rescue was none other than General Mifune of the Iron Country.

is the head of the warriors of the Iron Kingdom, and a master of swordsmanship in the ninja world.

The originally heavy and depressing atmosphere was cut off by something sharp in the middle, and the surrounding atmosphere returned to calm and gentle.

"Hmph, I'm still as confused as ever, Mifune."

Onoki snorted coldly.

Mifune replied: "Lord Dokage, I'm just performing my duties as a samurai. I don't want you to meet each other in this kind of place. This is not a ninja battlefield."

Speaking of the last, Mifune's tone was extremely firm.

"Also, since the guests have arrived, let's all come out."

Mifune's sharp eyes glanced at several big trees covered with snow, and the words came out clearly.

The sound of stepping on snow came from behind the tree on the far right, and Yagura walked out from behind the tree with Ao and Ghost Moon.

Behind the tree in the middle, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage, and the three Jonohas, Inokacho and Konoha, walked out from behind the tree.

Behind the tree on the far left, Chiyo, the former counselor elder of Sand Hidden Village, walked out from behind the tree with two Sand Hidden Shinobi.

"Now everyone is here."

Onoki smiled, and glanced back and forth at Shiraishi and Chiyo, with inexplicable meaning.

Mifune ignored Onogi's malicious laughter, but nodded, and said in a calm tone: "Everyone must be very tired after coming from a long distance. Next, please go to the prepared guest room to rest, and the corresponding dinner will be served. At eight o'clock in the evening, the meeting will be held on time."

It is now two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still six hours before the official start of the talks.

Onogi didn't say anything, just sneered, and floated back to the castle first, his figure disappeared.

Shiraishi didn't intend to pay attention to the crowd. Under the leadership of the samurai, he entered the castle with the fourth Raikage's team almost at the same time, and went to the guest room to rest.

At the forked intersection, Fourth Raikage took two steps forward, suddenly noticed something, turned around and saw a figure shorter than Onoki was following them in a daze, it was Chizi holding a spear.

He nodded as he walked, obviously not concentrating.

boom!

bumped into Fourth Raikage's thigh, Chiko staggered back two steps and fell to the ground.

He touched his sore buttocks, raised his head and looked at the Fourth Raikage, showing confusion.

"Hey, kid, you're going the wrong way."

Fourth Raikage pointed to the opposite road.

Only then did Chizi realize that Shiraishi and Ayane had disappeared.

Quickly got up from the ground, bowing and apologizing to the Fourth Raikage.

"Sorry, sorry, I was a little sleepy just now."

Then ran towards the road pointed by the Fourth Raikage.

"This kid seems very confused."

Darui looked at the funny figure of Chizi Pidian trotting, no matter how you looked at it, he was just an immature child.

Another Yunyin Jnin said with a serious face: "Don't be careless, Darui, this brat's aura is a bit weird, I can't feel too much chakra fluctuation in his body."

Darui nodded, even if no one reminded him, he would not underestimate Chizi.

Fourth Raikage didn't say anything, just let out a cold snort, and continued to move forward.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

The air outside the castle became even colder. The wind was whistling. The warriors wearing armor and sabers stood like stakes in the cold wind and snow. Despite the icy wind, they stood there unswervingly, protecting the castle where the Five Kages Conference was held.

In the castle, the cold outside seems to be two worlds.

In the meeting room where the Five Kages Conference will be held, under the protection of the fireplace fire, it becomes extremely warm, and the extremely cold air outside cannot be felt.

The important leaders who participated in the meeting, as well as the guards, entered the venue in no particular order, and sat in their own seats.

This is a huge circular conference table. Gokage sat down in the order of 'wind', 'earth', 'fire', 'thunder', and 'water'. On the right hand side of Yagura, Shiraishi was exactly where Shiraishi was, and further to the right was the position of General Mifune of the Iron Country.

Because the distance between each person's seats is slightly longer, two to three guards can easily be accommodated standing behind each person.

Gokage took off the hat on his head, put it in front of him, and threw away Mifune, the host, and the empty Shiraishi in front of him seemed a bit out of place.

But he didn't have any expression on his face. He closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, unmoved by external factors.

Behind her, Ayane scanned the venue with a smile, giving off a friendly and gentle impression.

Chizi tried hard not to let the upper and lower eyelids fight, but the bubbles in the nostrils were still unbelievably big and small.

Chiyo, Kazekage's agent, has a calm face and flickering eyes, looking towards Shiraishi from time to time, not knowing what he is thinking.

Behind her, stands the upper ninja Ye Cang of Sand Hidden, who is a very famous blood-successor bound-bound scorching escape ninja in Sand Hidden Village.

Another guard, Jonin, is also a well-known existence in Sand Hidden Village. His strength is not as good as Ye Cang, but being able to accompany Chiyo as the guard here is a testament to his extraordinary skills.

Followed by Tsuchikage Ohnoki, with a smile on his face, he was looking back and forth at the faces of the participants, as if he was planning something in his heart.

The two Iwagakure Jnin who came with him were his son Huang Tu and a Jnin from the Iwagakure Explosive Force.

Third Hokage Hiruza Sarutobi held an unlit pipe and bit it symbolically in his mouth. He seemed to know that smoking is not good at such a time. After all, there are still a small number of ninjas who smoke.

Behind him is Konoha's pig, deer and butterfly combination. The joint attack is second to none among ninjas. The three of them will protect Hokage, and they are definitely the best guards like an iron wall.

Fourth Raikage clasped his hands in front of his chest, his face was not angry and majestic, his eyes were like lightning, and he hummed from his nostrils from time to time, he didn't know what he was dissatisfied with.

Yun Yin scratched his head for Ren Darui, his face was listless, and he wrote the words 'no motivation' directly on his face.

Joining him is Yunyin Shangrenxi, who has a different fair complexion from the people of the Land of Thunder, is proficient in perception, medical ninjutsu, and is also very proficient in illusion. Like Darui, he is an outstanding talent among Yunyin's younger generation.

As Mizukage, Yakura is more casual, with a friendly and powerful smile on his face, and his hands crossed on the table, but because of his short stature and immature face, he looks like a teenager, even if he tries to look majestic, it will seem a little out of line.

Jami Ninja Ao, who was behind him, scanned the meeting place with his eyes from time to time, probably looking for another 'guy' who came here to eavesdrop.

And the ghost full moon standing beside him is more casual than Yagura, the Mizukage, holding a water cup and drinking water with a straw, making noise.

A lot of people stared at him in dissatisfaction, as if warning him that this is not his own home, and he can't do whatever he wants.

Ghost Lantern Full Moon didn't care, and still went her own way.

"It's full moon, you need to replenish water and go outside to replenish it, don't disturb the rest of the people."

Yakura spoke, with a hint of headache in his tone.

"Uh, yes, Mizukage-sama."

Ghost Lantern Full Moon put away the water glass embarrassingly, and stood there straight without making any sound.

Mifune glanced at Five Kages and Shiraishi present, and also had a panoramic view of the performance of the guards behind them.

I smiled helplessly in my heart, how should I put it, more or less, they are all a group of relatively maverick guys.

Even so, Mifune still tried his best to cheer himself up. In any case, it is a kind of trust that the Five Kingdoms and the Kingdom of Ghosts can hand over the five shadow talks to the Iron Kingdom.

Whether it is out of the standpoint of a neutral country or the trust of the daimyo of the Iron Nation, Mifune has decided to allow the Five Kage talks to proceed safely and steadily.

"Everyone."

Mifune coughed and stood up from his seat, attracting everyone's attention.

As the only neutral party in this meeting, Mifune will undoubtedly make an opening statement.

"Before the Five Kage Talks officially start, I hope that the Five Kages present here, as well as His Excellency Shiraishi, will regard peace as the most important thing. This is not a battlefield, and I will stop any act of force in time. This is the position of a neutral country. If there is no problem, then this Five Kage Talks will officially start. Please, the agent of Sand Hidden Village, Kazekage Chiyo, take the lead in speaking. You are the initiator of this Five Kage Conference."

Mifune sat down and handed over the right to speak to Chiyo.

Chiyo glanced at Shiraishi, then set his eyes on Mifune, and said calmly: "Before that, I want to know why the military head of the Oni Kingdom can share the same conference table with us. This should be the exclusive seat for the Five Kages and the neutral party, right? I hope Mifune can handle this matter fairly and justly, and set up another seat to arrange the seats for the Oni Kingdom there."

Mifune had expected this for a long time. The pride of the five major countries has existed since ancient times, and the meeting will definitely not be peaceful.

Therefore, Mifune replied unhurriedly: "It is out of the principle of fairness and justice that I will arrange the position of Your Excellency Shiraishi here. As long as I can be invited to participate in this meeting, the Iron Country, as a neutral country, will not favor any country, and will not target any country. It will treat everyone equally. It is also the way of 'harmony' for our warriors."

"It was I who sent the invitation. But I didn't mean to look down on the military power of the Oni Ninja, but meant that a traitor who was able to participate in this kind of meeting without being arrested immediately is already the greatest tolerance of us Five Kages. Therefore, please set up another seat and arrange the seats in the Oni Nation. Otherwise, a traitor who sits here will tarnish the name of the Five Kages. This is a matter of position."

Chiyo's words were sharp, and she firmly grasped Shiraishi's rebellious identity, and she would not let go.

Mifune frowned, a little embarrassed by this.

Honestly speaking, there is no difference between rebellious ninja and ninja for Iron Country.

As long as they don't come to provoke the Iron Country, the samurai will not intervene in the battle between ninjas at will.

But obviously, the samurai's position is not the same as the ninja's position.

Chiyo's words left him speechless.

No matter how he defends Shiraishi, Rebel Ninja is a group of ninjas who cannot see the light in the ninja world.

Chiyo flashed a sneer, and continued: "Since Your Excellency Mifune is embarrassed by this, let the Five Kages present vote. If the Kingdom of Demons can get the approval of three of the Five Kages, they are eligible to sit here. I wonder what your Excellency Mifune thinks?"
