Pirate: If you are immortal, I will first fill up the overlord color.

Chapter 543 Mifune
night.

The wind blew past, and the tents in the camp were shaking.

Sanchuan sat cross-legged in it, brows furrowed, carefully looking at the intelligence information being transmitted.

Undoubtedly, the performance of the Rain Country in this war shocked and surprised him.

Once upon a time, this country was just an ordinary small country. Covered by rain all year round, whether it was the number of ninjas, strength, or productivity, it was far behind the Iron Country.

It can be said that the Iron Kingdom is not weak in national strength because of the existence of samurai, and it also has a certain status among the five major countries.

The most famous period of the Rain Country should be the time when it was led by Hanzo, the demigod, but in the end it was like a flash in the pan and was defeated by Konoha.

On the contrary, that battle created the future Sannin and Black Flash.

Thinking of the name of Black Flash, Mifune's eyes flashed.

The owner of this name is none other than Uchiha Xia Le, the elder of the Hidden Rain Village.

Some people say that compared to Uchiha Fugaku, who is the Rain Shadow, Xia Le is the one who controls this country behind the scenes.

After seeing the other party in person, Mifune also believed this statement.

With Xia Le's strength, he didn't need to obey anyone's orders. In addition, the other party was the strongest Uchiha.

"I'm afraid that the Rain Shadow, the head of the Uchiha clan, will also need to follow his orders?"

Sighed softly.

Mifune continued to look at the documents and intelligence on the table.

These are all intelligence gathered from the front lines by the Iron Country warriors at great risk, and they describe in detail the battle that took place not long ago.

It was far more detailed than the few short sentences spoken during the day. After all, war cannot be described in just a few words.

"Nagato, leader of the Akatsuki organization, is fighting one against two."

"The Fourth Raikage, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Rabbi."

"These are all famous figures, but even if they join forces, they can't defeat the young man named Nagato!"

"And Nagato's master is Xia Le who is not far from me now!"

Mifune murmured.

He continued to read, feeling more and more horrified.

"A woman named Konan fought to a draw with Tsunade, one of the three ninjas."

"It's incredible, this Xiaonan is actually Xia Le's apprentice!"

"And in this battle, both of them used physical skills."

This is very scary, and it undoubtedly means that Xia Le, their master, is also a ninja who is equally powerful in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and bloodline limit.

"I heard that he has another disciple named Yahiko."

"Compared to Nagato and Konan, this Yahiko is the one who truly controls the power of Akatsuki!"

"He is the elder brother of these two people."

Mifune's eyes became serious.

He wrote down the names of the three and was shocked by them.

However, the man's three disciples became famous in this war, and they were as famous as the three great ninjas of Konoha.

"besides!"

"And the former White Flash of Konoha, Hatake Sakumo."

"This terrifying man once single-handedly forced the Sand Village to retreat, and they dared not invade even a single step."

"And the Kaguya clan who left the Land of Water not long ago."

At this point, Mifune took a deep breath and felt a huge pressure.

His eyes changed and he was extremely surprised.

Unknowingly, the once weak Rain Country actually has a group of extremely powerful warriors.

In fact, this level of strength is even more glorious than Konoha’s former peak.

"The Uchiha clan, the Kaguya clan, the Hatake clan!"

"In addition to the three leaders of the Akatsuki organization, there are a group of powerful ninjas!"

"If you add in the vast land area and the vast resources."

Mifune suddenly gasped and his eyes widened.

"The Rain Country is showing signs of being on par with the five great nations!"

There was a look of disbelief on his face.

"The reason why they took such a huge risk and started this war is precisely to rise up and become as powerful as the five great nations!"

“Big ambition!”

"No, it should be said."

“Great ambition!!!”

Mifune's expression became inexplicably complicated.

"Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Xiale, the Kaguya clan, Hatake Sakumo, these people together."

"Their spirit is no less than that of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan back then!"

"No one could have imagined that, many years later, people like them would appear in the world!"

At this point, Mifune fell silent, his eyes flickering.

At this moment, a strong desire and premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

That is, the rise of the Rain Country has become an unstoppable trend. Then, if the Iron Country can catch up with this trend and become a part of it.

Then, they will become one of the six major powers in the future!

This is something that makes people tremble with excitement just thinking about it!
You know, it is the sixth largest country that has just emerged, comparable to the five largest countries. Everything in it is new.

And rebirth means change.

They from the Iron Country will have unlimited possibilities. Perhaps, they can take advantage of this momentum and become a new force in the Rain Country, becoming a new elite.

For a moment, Mifune's heart was in turmoil and he fell into deep thought.

"How should I choose?"

Mifune murmured in the flickering candlelight.

At this moment, he really didn't know how to choose.
-
In a blink of an eye, the second day arrives.

Xia Le lived surrounded by the enemy alliance without any pressure, just like he was at home.

But in Karuji Yagura's eyes, he saw a different meaning.

Only when you have complete confidence in your own strength and don't care about your enemies, can you be as relaxed as Xia Le.

In other words, this man believes that his strength is enough to overlook the entire ninja world.

Mei Terumi came over early in the morning and lifted the curtain of the tent with a smile on her face.

Compared to yesterday, she seemed to have dressed up very carefully today, and looked more charming, beautiful and attractive.

Her lips were bright red, and her clothes just revealed half of her white dove, which made her look even more attractive.

"Did Elder Xia Le rest well last night?"

Mei Terumi asked with a smile.

She raised her slender hand and added tea to Xia Le.

"good."

Xia Le nodded.

He seemed to have no interest in the plump, attractive woman in front of him.

"I have some questions that I would like to ask Elder Xia Le."

Terumi Meido.

"Oh?"

Xia Le raised his eyebrows and looked at the other person with a smile.

"I wonder if Elder Xia Le can allow the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village to return home?"

Terumi Mei said slowly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Goji Yagura on the side immediately looked up, but did not say anything. Instead, his expression changed and no one knew what he was thinking.

"After all, he is the Mizukage of my Kirigakure. Being caught by the Hidden Mist Village is a shame for the entire village."

"And to be honest, we in Kirigakure do not want to provoke a powerful enemy like you."

"We may have more room for cooperation in the future."

Mei Terumi said softly, her tone gentle.

"Do you want to get back Yagura Karatachi, or the Three-Tails inside him?"

Xia Le asked with a faint smile.

Just one sentence made Mei Terumi's pretty face change slightly, and Yagura Karuta, who was less than 1.5 meters tall next to her, also had an unhappy expression on his face.

This is undoubtedly a reality, but also a very insightful one.

For Kirigakure, now that a new Mizukage has been selected, the position of the previous Mizukage will undoubtedly be very embarrassing.

However, the tailed beast in Yagura's body is a powerful helper, and it is an existence that they cannot give up no matter what.

"The Fourth Mizukage is very important to my Kirigakure."

"I hope Elder Xia Le can understand!"

Mei Terumi smiled warmly.

"hehe."

Xia Le just chuckled but didn't say anything else.

How could it be so easy to let a Jinchūriki go so easily?
The atmosphere became dull and Mei Terumi felt a little embarrassed.

Karuju Yagura also spoke at this time: "I am living very well in the Hidden Rain Village and don't want to go back."

His words eased the atmosphere.

Mei Terumi smiled softly: "If that's the case, then I won't say much."

Then, she looked at Xia Le curiously again.

"Elder Xia Le, you should be quite old now, right?"

After all, the three famous Nagato members are now grown up.

However, judging from his appearance, this man does not look old at all, and still looks like a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.

"I have a secret to keep my youthful appearance!"

Xia Le smiled lightly.

Mei Terumi's eyes lit up.

"Want to learn?"

Xia Le looked at the other person with a smile.

Mei Terumi's expression changed slightly, as if she had thought of something, and shook her head helplessly: "It seems that I am not blessed enough to enjoy it."

Xia Le chuckled and didn't mention it again.

Next, the three of them chatted in the tent.

Most of them were trivial matters. Mei Terumi was a very smart woman. She stopped talking about the war and started discussing other things.

What shocked this woman was that Xia Le, who was so powerful, was actually very familiar with many ordinary things in this world.

Almost no matter what she started, the other party would chat for a while and show their broad horizons.

Then, she tentatively asked about the theory of ninjutsu. To her surprise, Xia Le actually answered all of them.

It seemed that he didn't care at all about these simple ninjutsu questions.

After a moment, Mei Terumi's eyes became complicated.

In her eyes, this man was undoubtedly full of mystery, which made it difficult for her to understand.

After leaving, Mei Terumi smiled and uttered softly.

“Powerful, yet mesmerizing!”

This is her evaluation of Xia Le as a woman.

It’s not very pertinent, but it’s the true feeling in my heart.

At noon.

The Kirigakure ninjas brought over a meal that was unexpectedly sumptuous, with three dishes and a soup, two of the dishes containing meat.

"That woman is interested in you."

Karuji Yagura pursed his lips and spoke with a smile.

Xia Le did not comment and did not answer.

With his mentality, even the old man Ohnoki is just a child in his eyes.

Although he has reached this stage in life and has long been indifferent to age, it is indeed difficult for him to be interested in things like love.

A moment later, Sanfen came in dressed in armor and with a serious look on his face.

Karuji Yagura raised his head and looked at the other person.

"The Iron Nation can join you!"

"But before that, you need to use your strength to convince me and our warriors!"

The serious words made Karuji Yagura's expression change slightly.

He originally thought that he would have to wait another two days for the results to come out, but he didn't expect that the other party had made a decision just one night later.

I couldn't help but look at the other person with questioning eyes.

"it is good!"

"Although your request is as ridiculous and childish as a child challenging an adult strongman."

"But I can give you this opportunity to let you see how big the world is!"

Xia Le nodded and slowly stood up.

Hearing this, Sanchuan took a deep breath and his expression became extremely solemn.

He would not underestimate a powerful person who had already gained a great reputation in the ninja world, let alone the fact that he had taught Nagato and his three companions.

What is even more incredible is that time does not seem to have left any trace on the other person.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the battlefield between the two was set on an open space three kilometers away from the camp.

On the barren ground, there were only a few weeds, swaying lonely in the cold wind.

Mei Terumi, Yagura Karuta, and all the armored warriors from the Land of Iron looked solemnly at the two people in the field.

Undoubtedly, this was a fight of unequal strength.

But how big the gap between the two sides is something that everyone is puzzled and curious about.

"Admiral Mifune is the most powerful warrior in the Land of Iron. He is a master swordsman. Even the demigod Hanzo can't be his match."

Okisuke said in a deep voice.

He is a famous Iai Slash master in the Land of Iron. He has a calm personality and is also a strong man of his generation.

"Even if the enemy is a ninja, he won't be able to gain any advantage under his long sword!"

On the side, another samurai nodded: "Lord Mifune is the strongest samurai!"

No one commented on their words, even Karatachi Yagura acknowledged the strength of the samurai.

"Whirring whirring!"

The sound of the wind made everyone present narrow their eyes.

"Go ahead, Mifune!"

"If I take the initiative, you won't stand a chance!"

Xia Le smiled lightly.

Mifune took a deep breath and nodded without being polite.

He slowly drew out the long knife from his waist and held it tightly with both hands.

The wind blew back, ruffling the hair on his forehead.

At this moment, his body suddenly moved, and in almost an instant, he was in front of Xia Le. He jumped high, held the knife in both hands, and chopped down suddenly.

The sharp blade light is so dazzling that no matter who it is, one must admire the exquisite and decisive swordsmanship.

But in the next second, Xia Le turned his head.

"Shh!"

This knife was dodged easily.

Sanchuan's heart sank, but he did not hesitate. The moment his feet touched the ground, he exerted force with his waist and chopped horizontally again.

But this time, the knife still missed.

Xia Le had jumped up at some point, and when he landed, he stepped on the tip of his long sword.

Elegant, yet calm.

"A sword that can't cut the enemy is of no use!"

"Admiral Mifune!"

Xia Le smiled lightly.

Mifune's pupils contracted, and he suddenly drew his sword and slashed forward again.

He wants to let the people in front of him know.

Samurai cannot be underestimated!!
