Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 201 The meeting will begin
“It’s not a good feeling not knowing anything.”

Zheye smiled when he heard this:
"Don't you already know this? Besides, I estimate that everyone will know it soon. It still depends on the outcome of this Five Shadows Conference."

What else could the outcome of the Five Shadows Conference be?Obito will definitely want to rely on Madara to capture the Five Kages in one fell swoop. Without his advance preparation, it is estimated that the Five Kage Talks will be the burial place for the five major village Kages.

But there was no need to tell her about it, the reason why he selectively told the truth was just to appease Ino.

I feel a little guilty for hiding it like this, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Ino sighed:
"Well, I'm really not qualified to give advice on this kind of thing."

……

In the blink of an eye, two days later, in the early morning of the third day, Tsunade, Kakashi and Gai set foot on the territory of the Kingdom of Iron.

The Iron Country is remote and the environment is not good. It can be described as bitter cold.

But it is also the only country that maintains a large-scale military force and has never participated in the disputes in the ninja world. The daimyo has real military power. Although it is not enough to compete with the ninjas, it is still enough to stay in a corner and defend itself.

It is known as the last paradise of samurai and is a remnant of the old era after entering the ninja era.

As early as the long Warring States Period, the Iron Kingdom had existed and followed similar ideals as it does now. It was also spared from the war because of its poverty and bitter cold, and eventually became the venue for the first Five Shadows Conference.

Since then, the existence of the Iron Kingdom seemed to have disappeared from the sight of the ninjas, until the Raikage brought up the past again.

Mifune, the iron country general with a goatee, glanced at Tsunade and the others with a pair of sharp eyes. After the two sides were close to face-to-face distance, he took the lead and saluted:
"I am honored to have the Fifth Hokage here!"

"Long time no see, Admiral Mifune." Tsunade nodded. She obviously knew the other person: "How long has it been since we last met?"

Although the Iron Country pursues the principle of seclusion and does not participate in external disputes, there will always be exceptions among domestic samurai, and Mifune is one of them.

He traveled a lot when he was young, and probably the most famous thing he did was fighting against the demigod Hanzo many times, with both sides winning and losing, and he became his old enemy.

Naturally, I have met Tsunade several times.

"When I was young, I was always greedy for the prosperity of the outside world. As for how many years it has been, I really can't remember how many years it has been since I got older and my brain started to fail."

Mifune shook his head in response, shook off the snow on his body and said:
"It's windy and snowy outside, everyone follow me to the meeting place first."

"Okay, please lead the way."

What he said was really not polite. The surrounding evergreen pine trees were covered with a thick layer of snow, the biting cold wind hardly stopped for a moment, and the sky was also gloomy, with only goose-feather snowflakes flying in all directions.

"Huh? These warriors also have chakra?"

Kakashi followed Tsunade, focusing on the armor-clad samurai who followed Mifune. After quietly opening his Sharingan, he discovered that the samurai also had strong chakra in their bodies.

"Haha, the warriors of the Iron Country are said to be samurai, but in fact they are more like ninjas who can initially use chakra, but they are not practicing the way of ninja, but the way of the bushi."

Tsunade knew a lot about the warriors of the Iron Kingdom, so she explained Kakashi's question:
"As for whether they are unwilling to intervene in the battles of ninjas, so they do not learn ninjutsu, or because they have no ninjutsu inheritance or no ninjutsu talent, no one will delve into it."

After all, the Iron Country's neutral attitude is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and its land is unprofitable. Even senior ninjas like Kakashi have little understanding of the samurai here, so naturally no one is interested in studying the hidden secrets.

Although I don’t know how many years the Iron Kingdom can maintain its neutrality, at least for now they still maintain the same policy as before.

“What a strange country”

Kakashi sighed inwardly.

"That's right, General."

At this moment, Tsunade seemed to have remembered that as the Hokage, she should ask other villages about their respective movements. She quickly jumped a few steps and caught up with Mifune who was leading the way and asked:
"Have the Kage from other ninja villages arrived?"

"Except for Sunagakure, Raikage, Tsuchikage, and Mizukage have all arrived. I believe Sunagakure will also arrive before noon. After all, evening is the scheduled start time of the meeting."

When Mifune talked about business, his tone and face were obviously more serious than before.

"Haha, it seems that everyone attaches great importance to this meeting, and the time is also very tight."

"This is normal. If Akatsuki is really as powerful as Raikage said, and the mysterious masked man is indeed Uchiha Madara, or is related to Uchiha Madara."

Mifune said in a solemn tone:
"Then the Five Shadows Talks are indeed a correct response, and it's not a big deal."

……

In the large and magnificent building made of rocks, three specially cleaned empty rooms have welcomed their owners. This is a relic left over from the Warring States Period or earlier. It is large in scale and complex in structure, and I don’t know which one it is. Most of the buildings built by the state have been abandoned long ago.

However, there are still many intact places in it, and it has become a samurai station in the Iron Country. When the first Hokage made a request during the first five shadow talks, the Iron Country arranged the location here.

Now, the second meeting of the Five Shadows is naturally scheduled here according to the previous practice.

The ground and walls made by grinding the whole rock are very smooth, and the building specifications are also very grand. The corridors with warriors stationed outside are several meters wide, and some empty rooms are even seven or eight meters high and dozens of meters wide inside. I don't know what the space was originally used for.

The hard and cold stone tables and chairs were not a problem for Raikage, but the touch made him feel more and more irritable.

"Have the other shadows arrived?"

"Left Hand" Nozomi, who came to serve as the guard of the Fourth Raikage, is a young handsome blond guy. Left Hand is not his official nickname, but Raikage Ai has said on many occasions that Nozomi is his right-hand man, so there is Such a title.

Although he himself did not agree with this title, it was too common, unpleasant, and unremarkable.

But who makes the Fourth Raikage always say that?

Hearing Raikage's question, he replied:

"I have already seen that the Mizukage and Tsuchikage have arrived. Now there is still no news from Konoha and Sunagakure."

After walking out of the room, there is a suspended corridor. The corridor is formed around a huge space. There are stone pillars standing in the open space below. The rooms arranged for the Five Shadows surround it. Every movement is easy to detect.

"Damn Konoha! Only these guys have big egos, and Sunagakure. Even the Fourth Kazekage is dead, and I don't know what kind of people they can send to represent Sunagakure."

Nozomi thought for a while, but did not make any comment on Raikage's angry rebuke of Konoha. He knew that Raikage liked to curse, so he only responded to the second half of the sentence:

"Maybe it's Markey. Logically speaking, this is the only suitable candidate left."

There is no way, Sunagakure is just weak, and it is also the fault of the God of Creation's favoritism. Sunagakure appeared too early, except for Gaara a few years later, there is really no one worth mentioning who is still in his prime and has sufficient strength. .

"Maki?"

Raiying frowned.

He didn't have much impression of this person, but he seemed to have heard the name several times when the Fourth Kazekage was still alive, and he immediately shook his head:

"Forget it, I don't expect Sunagakure to make any contribution to this Five Kage Talks. The most important thing is the other three forces. There should be no need to say more about the Tsuchikage. The Mizukage and Hokage must make them realize that now How dangerous is the situation everyone is facing!"

After all, Tuying is the same kind who has used the Akatsuki organization many times like him, and he is also the conspiracy accomplice who tried to arrest the members of the Akatsuki organization last time. Lei Ying is not worried that the old guy will not be able to see the situation clearly.

But the two sides are different, Konoha's Tsunade he still has a little understanding, although he has not seen much, but Godai Mizukage does not have much information, and it is difficult to guarantee what kind of person he is.

I hope that the granddaughter of the first Hokage will not be so stupid. After all, she is also one of the three ninjas who has gained such a great reputation. She should also have an understanding of what the name Uchiha Madara means.

Mizukage's words
There should be no problem.

The Raikage is quite confident, and he has considered unexpected situations, but no matter how you think of someone who can become the Shadow of a Village, he shouldn't be a fool.

As long as you are not a fool, you don't need to teach yourself how to do things.
