Chapter 758 Iron Country

Late at night, the kingdom of ghosts.

After the lights in the residential area were extinguished, the lights in a single-family villa were still bright.

After Asuka, Kazuhime and other children moved out here and became independent, except for Shiraishi's clone, only Shiraishi, Liuli, and Ayane are still living here.

The living room was brightly lit. Ruri and Ayane, who were sitting on the sofa, had already shed their usual ninja attire and put on a silk nightgown for home use.

The two of them who are sitting on the sofa calmly at this time, have lost a bit of sharpness and sharpness at work, and have a bit more leisure and tranquility when relaxing. For the two of them, it seems that they can switch between work and home anytime and anywhere.

Facing the two most important women in his life, perhaps he has become accustomed to their posture. Although Baishi appreciates the demure charm of the two in this state, he also knows that the next step is not the time to talk about their children's affair.

Even if there is still leisure time, Baishi is used to taking into account all risks in the implementation plan in advance, and making various preparations to deal with various unexpected risks encountered in the operation.

"The Five Kages Conference will be held the day after tomorrow, that is, at 3:00 pm on the 27th of this month. If we leave early tomorrow morning, we can arrive in the Land of Iron before the conference starts."

Shiraishi put the invitation letter for the Five Kages Conference received from Yan Yin and Yun Yin on the coffee table in front of him, with a look of consideration on his face.

"Five Kages Conference? Counting the next one, this is already the third time. It seems that this group of people is really pressed for time."

Ayane fiddled with the fair fingers in front of her, remembering something.

Liuli picked up the cup and drank the hot water quietly, as if she wasn't particularly interested in the upcoming Five Kages Conference.

From the name of the "Five Shadows Conference" used in the invitation letter, it is known that although the Kingdom of Ghosts is invited this time, it still uses the same plan as before. It is obvious that it is only afraid of the power of the Kingdom of Ghosts, rather than sincerely wanting the Kingdom of Ghosts to participate.

The name of the Five Kages itself is excluding the Kingdom of Demons from joining.

National ideological opposition, it can be said that there are fundamentally irreconcilable contradictions between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the other five major countries.

"So, you said these words just now, are you planning to participate in it the day after tomorrow?"

Liuli's dark pupils stared at Shiraishi with a questioning meaning.

"Others have already solemnly sent invitations. It would be a bit rude to refuse. Moreover, given the current situation, we can't fight for the time being. It's just during the Five Kages Conference that we can go over and find out their details, so that we can be more prepared."

Shiraishi nodded and responded to Liuli's question.

"So, Baishi-kun, have you considered the entourage this time? Since Liuli is not interested, let me go with you."

Ayane said with a smile.

Liuli glanced at Ayane slightly, but didn't speak.

"That's not a problem. If Liuli doesn't go, I can feel at ease sitting in the rear. As for the other entourage..."

Shiraishi thought about it, and agreed to Ayane's request to follow the past.

After a short pause, Baishi continued: "Let Cai take charge, there should be no problem with his strength."

Among the children, let alone Kazuhime, a monster who surpasses attempts, although Aya does not have the talent of a monster like Kazuhime, she is definitely not bad, and her strength is close to the level of Gokage.

More than enough to serve as a guard.

Although for the current Baishi, the so-called guards are not necessary.

But identity is not transferred by the will of the parties after all. Sometimes, in order to show the identity that matches oneself, even if it is for decoration, or to stand out in an unexpected situation where the leader is not suitable, he will push his excellent jonin to the front of the stage to show his muscles.

After all, it is meaningless to hide something like power all the time. Only by revealing it properly can the enemy keep their own place.

"Are you interested? That kid has done very well in the security force recently. In a few years, he might be able to take over my position."

Ayane was a little surprised, but then she showed a faint smile, obviously very satisfied with her son's ability, and said words like taking her place casually.

"You are really tired. In a few years, Cai will be around twenty years old."

Liuli glanced at Ayane a little speechlessly. Generally speaking, at their age, although there will be no substantial breakthrough in strength, it is definitely not a problem to continue to maintain this peak combat power for more than 20 years.

According to the normal way of thinking, even if there is a change of term, it will be considered after more than 20 years.

"I don't have the slightest interest in controlling power. Shiraishi-kun forcefully pushed me to the position of the chief of the garrison. Besides, age has never been a problem. Isn't Namikaze Minato also 24 years old, and he became the Hokage of Konoha?"

Ayane tilted her head, her smile still on her face.

"Two people who are not from the same background, they should not be confused. Although Sai's ability is excellent, Namikaze Minato is the Hokage who fought all the way from the dead, causing the yellow flash, and has become a famous name that the world fears."

Liuli shook her head.

Namikaze Minato's success in becoming Hokage was not only caused by the general environment of that era, but also because the power inside Konoha happened to be in the transition period, which was both inevitable and accidental.

Furthermore, the garrison of the Oni Land is a violent law enforcement agency responsible for the entire country, and no matter how powerful Konoha's Hokage is, he can only develop his political ambitions in Konoha Village... In terms of work pressure, the former is definitely not lighter than the latter.

"Because you didn't have a formal battle with the opponent back then, do you feel a little regretful?"

Ayane laughed jokingly.

Liuli snorted lightly, but did not deny it.

Twenty-one years ago, when she left Konoha, she only had a hasty fight with Namikaze Minato, and it ended in an anticlimactic end, which made her feel very sorry, and hoped that she could have a real fight with each other in the future.

It's a pity that Kyuubi went berserk sixteen years ago, leading to the life and death of the other party, making this thought of hers a regret that could not be achieved.

Even though she knew that the opponent was hiding in Uzumaki Naruto's body, Ruri lost interest in fighting him.

Because the other party is a dead person, she cannot enjoy the real fun of fighting.

"That's why you are too serious. However, I remember that Danzo seems to have used the technique of reincarnation to summon many ninjas who used to be famous in the ninja world... Maybe there will be prey you like."

Ayane looked at Liuli and smiled.

Liuli narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I hope so."

"Now that the itinerary is finalized, it's time to rest. In addition, Cai needs to be notified now so that he can make preparations."

After all, the two guards who participated in the Five Shadows Conference made their decision here without any formal meeting, so Cai still doesn't know anything about the matter here.

Saying that, she stood up from the sofa, and Ayane walked towards the second floor.

"Ah, that's right." Ayane, who walked to the entrance of the corridor, seemed to remember something, turned her head and said with a smile: "Mr. Baishi, don't play too hard with Liuli tonight, we have to hurry tomorrow morning."

After that, the sound of her going upstairs was heard, and the figure disappeared.

Shiraishi, who was also planning to take a rest, subconsciously looked at Liuli after Ayane's reminder.

The other party was holding his chest with both hands, lifting one slender white jade leg, and putting it on the other leg, causing the black nightdress, which was as thin as a gauze, to open and close slightly, revealing an attractive mystery.

Then swept towards the other party's neck, the same delicate and white, elegant and slender, just right.

At the same time, a pair of dark pupils that seemed to have countless stars and light spots looked directly at them, and their eyes collided in midair.

Liuli turned her head slightly, keeping her arms folded across her chest, Shiraishi seemed to be able to hear her almost disdainful snort coming from her nostrils.

But intentionally or unintentionally, the nightdress covering the white legs has a larger opening and closing scale.

This kind of blatant and undisguised invitation seems to be ready to be loved by her husband.

Baishi's heart was full of fire, he stepped forward and hugged Liuli's graceful body that was as light as a feather, like a perfectly ripe peach, his breathing involuntarily increased, and he walked quickly towards the bedroom, letting everything happen naturally.

The next day, at five o'clock in the morning, the sky was only a little bright.

At the east gate of Ziyuan City, Cai arrived at the assembly point on time, and carried a black military backpack weighing about 20 kilograms on her back. She shot a sniper rifle, stood upright, looked around, and subconsciously began to check.

Although there were almost no pedestrians passing through the east gate during this time period, Cai still maintained the vigilance that a ninja should have, and strictly observed the surrounding environment. Cai didn't look back until he had observed all the places, and waited in place with peace of mind.

"Cai, good morning."

Ayane walked over yawning. Judging by her appearance, she must have just woken up not long ago. When she approached, she rubbed her eyes.

"Mom, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Seeing that there seemed to be a dark circle around Ayane's eyes, Cai suddenly asked in doubt.

"Yeah, the room next door was a bit noisy last night, and it didn't quiet down until early in the morning."

Ayane said with a blank face.

"Quarrel?"

Aya tilted her head, more confused by Ayane's explanation.

If I remember correctly, the next door to my mother seems to be Aunt Liuli's bedroom.

"Your father talked with your Aunt Liuli for a long time last night. If I had known that they would talk so late, I would have joined them at that time."

Speaking of this, Ayane bit her lip, and her pure white pupils seemed to reveal unwillingness and a trace of resentment.

"...Well, I think if it's work, it's fine to finish it in the office, or wait until the next day. There's no need to take it home and work overtime to finish it."

Cai was concerned about the health of the three of them, thinking it was a matter of work, which kept the three of them busy.

After hearing this, Ayane took a deep look at Cai.

"Cai, you are still young, and you don't quite understand the hard work of adults."

Cai was slightly taken aback, and nodded half-understanding.

Although he doesn't quite understand the meaning of his mother Ayane's words, there must be some deep meaning in it. At this time, he just needs to nod in agreement.

A moment later, Baishi also arrived at the east gate and joined the two.

Cai saw the fatigue on the other person's face, which seemed to be worse than that of her mother Ayane, and lamented that her father and Aunt Liuli worked so hard, and even the time to go home and rest was squeezed out. Thinking about working last night, it must have been very hard.

Originally, there was some resentment about why she suddenly had to follow her to participate in the Five Shadows Conference, but it disappeared from Cai's heart all of a sudden.

The elders have set such an excellent example. At this critical moment, I can't be lazy. I have to pay more energy and devote myself to work.

After all, he is sixteen years old. In this age, he is already an adult and has to take on more responsibilities.

I can no longer let my parents hug and act like a baby like in the past.

"Cai, relax a little bit. The Five Kages Conference is held this time. In fact, the countries have already reached a tacit agreement. If nothing else, it's just a formality there."

Seeing that Cai was nervous, Shiraishi patted his shoulder and said a few words of relief.

"yes."

Cai nodded, he was indeed a little nervous because he suddenly had to participate in the Five Kages Conference with his parents.

But not because of fear, but thinking about how to prevent others from despising themselves because of age, or thinking about what to do if a conflict breaks out, so as to maintain the majesty of the kingdom of ghosts.

After all, he knows that the military leaders of the other big countries, that is, the shadows who lead the ninja village of the big country, seem to have a lot of opinions on the kingdom of ghosts.

Participating in such talks, most of the Ghost Country will be targeted by these people.

When the time comes, a conflict is inevitable.

"Mr. Baishi, it's time for us to set off. There are less than forty hours left now. If we don't hurry up, we may miss the time."

Ayane looked at her pocket watch to remind her of the time.

"Well, let's go."

Shiraishi nodded. Since his and Ayane's luggage were placed in the shadow dancer's shadow space, they looked empty-handed, but they had already made preparations, and there was no need to stop halfway. Just go all the way to the meeting place in the Iron Kingdom.

Shiraishi and Ayane took the lead and rushed out, covering a distance of hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye. Cai also gathered chakra at her feet, carrying a backpack weighing 20 kilograms, and her body flew out like an arrow from the string, catching up with the two people in front at the same speed.

"Is the old man out?"

Ichihime came to pay a visit to the detached villa where he used to live.

Being too familiar with the environment here, it was easy to find Liuli, the mother who had just finished breakfast in the dining room.

The Tianyu girl next to her was cleaning up the dishes, like a loyal maid, completing her work meticulously, and Yiji was envious when she saw it, and wanted to **** such a useful servant from Baishi more than once.

Because of this, even if she leaves the villa, she will occasionally come back to eat, to relive the delicacies made by Tian Yunu.

"He went to the country of iron."

Liuli glanced at Yiji and answered her question.

"Iron Country? Are you going to the Five Kages Conference?"

Ichihime recalled what happened recently, and immediately guessed Shiraishi's purpose for going to the Iron Country.

The major event that happened in the Iron Country recently is that the third Five Kages Conference will be held there, which has attracted the attention of many countries.

"Yeah, I left three hours ago. Since it was a temporary decision and today happened to be on vacation, no official notice has been issued yet."

"That's right, but participating in the Five Kages Conference, I forgot about such a lively event. I have always been looking forward to the strength of these Five Kages. It would be great if we could directly fight against each other."

Yiji was a little dissatisfied, and seemed to have a lot of complaints about Baishi not counting herself in this matter.

"Because of your dangerous thinking, you can't be counted. However, isn't your thorn group conducting special training in the northern region? How come you have time to come back?"

Liuli frowned and asked.

"Some team members' Chakra armors were scrapped during training. I'm coming back to get some new armors."

Ichihime explained.

"Don't go too far in training. That kind of armor is not only precious, but also very troublesome to manufacture. It has been difficult to increase production."

Liu Li advised Yi Ji.

If too much chakra armor is damaged, it will not be able to assemble more ninjas at that time, making the gap of sacrifice bigger.

For Ichihime, the Chakra Armor may not be a big deal, but for many ninjas, it is a precious ninja tool that can effectively guarantee the safety of their lives on the battlefield, and each one is very precious.

"The war may break out at any time now, and I am also trying to improve their strength as much as possible, so that they can increase their survival rate in the next battlefield. After all, once I fight, it is difficult to take care of my own people, and I may even accidentally get my own people involved."

Yi Ji looked very helpless.

Powerful ninjas can't be said to not value cooperation, but in the kingdom of ghosts, there are very few people who can fight with her who is serious. Therefore, most of the time in the past, once she used her full strength, she could only fight alone.

Speaking, she looked at Liuli again, as if she wanted to find a further sense of identity, and said, "I think, Mom, you have experienced this kind of thing in the past, the situation where you have to suppress your strength when taking care of your companions."

"No, don't confuse me with you. The ninjas who have worked with my team all these years have always been your father, and that white-eyed woman. I don't need to consider their safety when fighting. Even if they are in front of me, I will use all my strength to chop them down and beat them into the air with the enemy."

Liuli shook her head, denying Ichihime's self-righteous sense of approval.

Yiji felt that something was stuffed in her mouth, but when she felt it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing stuffed in her mouth.

"Speaking of which, isn't that explosive maniac who joined Akatsuki in your group? His strength should be able to keep up with your movements."

Liuli has read the detailed information about the artist of the Akatsuki organization. Although the weakness is obvious, but with the technical assistance of the kingdom of ghosts, that part of the weakness is now being eliminated little by little. Coupled with the particularity of its secret technique, after cooperating with Yiji, it may be able to achieve miraculous effects.

"Didara? His words can indeed barely cooperate with me to act together. However, such a ninja is hard to come by, and it is very lucky to find one."

Didara's strength is enough to rank in the forefront of the entire ghost country's military, but a ninja of this level itself means that it cannot be copied. In fact, when the strength reaches Jnin, he has basically stepped out of his own fighting style and possessed his own unique ninjutsu skills.

"Then, about the Chakra armor..."

Having said that, Ichihime got back to business.

"This matter will be discussed after your father comes back. After all, he needs his own written approval. Because the Chakra armor transferred to the Thorn Group is specially made, which is different from ordinary Chakra armor. Such a precious armor ninja, alone, is more expensive than the accumulation of multiple flying ninjas."

"Can't you use Sharingan to forge his handwriting directly? As for the seal, I secretly took the old man's seal and forged an identical one."

Yiji looked at Liuli with expectant eyes.

Liuli stared at the daughter who was gradually becoming lawless, and warned in a stern tone:

"Hand over the forged seal now. In addition, write me a 10,000-word review report. I will check it myself at noon tomorrow."

Yiji couldn't help being depressed, and regretted the self-explosion just now, so she took a deep breath, and said in another flattering tone:

"Mom, how about this, I can tell you many secrets of the old man in exchange, the old man has done a lot of good things behind your back."

"Don't worry, I know more about his secrets, whether it's the little H book hidden in the wallboard in the toilet, the private money in the notebook, or the obscene uniform he secretly bought for that white-eyed woman."

Liuli stared at Yiji's straight and stiff face, smiled coldly, and ruthlessly defeated Yiji's unrealistic fantasy.

September 27th, at nine o'clock in the morning.

The country of iron.

The general of Iron CountryMifune, who is over 60 years old, is very sad at this time.

Feeling headache and helpless for this group of big countries.

Every time a conflict occurs, the problem must be resolved in the neutral place of the Iron Kingdom. As a result, during such talks, all the warriors in the entire Iron Kingdom must pay full attention, not daring to relax in the slightest, and the talks will have accidents.

Although holding the Five Kages Conference in the Iron Country is a recognition of the strength of the neutral countries in the Iron Country, it is also a kind of trouble.

Mifune has also heard a little about the Akatsuki organization that has been making a fuss recently in the ninja world, and the Umegashi who colluded with it.

Although he was also shocked by this organization, which was able to **** tailed beasts from villages such as Shayin, Yunyin, and Yanyin, and possessed related technologies to seal tailed beasts, but in the final analysis, this is a contradiction between the other party and the big country, and has nothing to do with the Iron Kingdom.

Therefore, Mifune now only hopes that the Five Kages can quickly end the meeting this time, and then let these important figures leave the Iron Country, so that the Iron Country will not be involved in the war at that time.

In front of the entrance of the icy and snowy castle, Mifune led two confidant samurai Shousuke and Satokasa with the strength of Jonin, waiting for the distinguished guests here, standing proudly in the wind and snow like a tough cypress.

Because the sound of the wind and snow was too loud, even the sound of human breathing could not be heard, and the cries of the surrounding beasts were also very weak, all of which were covered by the wind and snow.

Among the flying snow, after waiting for an unknown amount of time, the three figures broke through the wind and snow, started to slow down evenly, and approached the entrance of the castle.

It was Shiraishi, Ayane, and Cai who came.

After a whole day of sleepless nights, the three of them crossed the borders of many countries and officially arrived in the Iron Country.

And judging from the neat clothes and no messy breathing of the three of them, it is obvious that after a long day and night of trekking, their physical strength has not been affected in any way.

"Your Excellency Mifune, it's been a long time. Your samurai demeanor is still the same as before."

Shiraishi walked over with a smile, as if greeting an acquaintance, and greeted Mifune skillfully.

Cai also looked curiously at Mifune, the legendary warrior general of the Iron Country who is in charge of the country's military power.

"Your Excellency Shiraishi, you are welcome. At this age, my swordsmanship has long since become dull. However, Your Excellency Shiraishi and Your Excellency Ayane are still the same as before, without any change."

Mifune looked at the extremely young faces of Shiraishi and Ayane, and couldn't help feeling the magic of ninjutsu.

Especially Ayane, like a 20-year-old young woman, the years stay for her, keeping her appearance and body in the most beautiful time.

Looking like this, it is not obvious at all that these two people are actually middle-aged people who are already forty years old.

"Have those people arrived yet?"

Baishi nodded, looked at the entrance of the castle and asked.

He could sense that there were many powerful chakra reactions in the castle.

"In addition to Kazekage, the two Lords Mizukage have not yet arrived, but the three Lords Hokage, Tsukage, and Raikage have arrived."

Mifune responded.

Afterwards, he recruited a sword-wielding warrior wearing heavy armor, and led the three of Shiraishi into the castle.
