Escape From Konoha

The Iron Country is located in the northern part of the mainland.

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

And the country of iron, which was founded by samurai, even the five major countries could not ignore the country's armed forces.

Iron Forest.

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

In the extremely cold forest, there are about hundreds of samurai, surrounded by the core of the forest in a stubborn formation, and they are strictly guarded.

In the sanctuary of these samurai stands a magnificent and majestic castle.

In the castle, in a quiet room, suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

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

"I'm sorry, Mifune-sama."

The samurai opened the door, with a knife 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 person called "Mifune" has gray hair and wrinkles on his face. He is already quite old, but his eyes are still clear and bright, like a sharp blade, piercing the heart.

He sat cross-legged on the cushion, put his beloved knife on his knees, and cleaned it with a handkerchief to make the blade even sharper. The edge of the blade shone with a terrifying cold light that stings the eyes.

"Just now, Lord Tsuchikage and his subordinates have arrived and are resting in the guest room."

The samurai answered.

"Is that so? It can't be too rude. Let's count the time. The rest of the shadows and 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 as 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 in an impartial manner."

Mifune put the beloved sword on his knees back into the scabbard around his waist, stood up from the seat cushion, and sorted out the wrinkles on his clothes.

"Yes."

The samurai bowed his head, still answering respectfully.

"Come on, follow me to meet Your Excellency Tuying."

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

◎

The wind and snow are freezing and the weather is unusually cold.

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

At this moment, three samurai stopped in front of Shiraishi's group, and the leading one came out, put his palm on the hilt of his waist, and said to Shiraishi, "It's Your Excellency Chiba Shiraishi from the land of ghosts. ?"

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

"yes."

Shiraishi nodded.

"I'm sorry, my subordinate is Lijiao, and I'm a subordinate of Mifune-sama."

The samurai named Lijiao was very tall and imposing, and judging from his flawless standing, he was a resolute samurai.

Samurai Lijiao glanced at Shiraishi, Ayane, and Chiko, and finally fixed his gaze on Chiko, frowning slightly, child?

No matter how you look at it, this is a child under ten years old, dozing off in a daze, holding a long spear that is much longer than the body in his arms, and the spear is bandaged, giving people a very strange look sense of inconsistency.

However, Lijiao didn't say anything, and the ninja couldn't judge by common sense. Children, in particular, cannot let their guard down.

It is enough to prove that the other party can serve as the guard together with Ayane Hyuga, who once overpowered the four generations of Raikage.

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

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the castle with the two samurai, without any hesitation.

Shiroishi didn't say anything, and He Ayin quietly followed Lijiao to the castle, Chizi moved slowly, followed him, opened his mouth slightly, let out a steady faint breathing sound, and exhaled cold white air.

In such a cold weather, drowsiness is more like a beast, making the child want to find a warm bed to sleep.

In front of the main gate of the castle, there are about a dozen saber warriors guarding the gate closely, with sharp eyes, palms and inner horns, pressing on the hilt of the sword, and when the enemy surprises, they can unscabbard at any time and use the blade to kill the enemy. Instant death.

Because the strength of the samurai is concentrated on the blade and swordsmanship, although they can't use ninjutsu, they can also do chakra to enhance the lethality of the enemy.

In this ninja-themed era, the power of the samurai cannot be underestimated.

In particular, the general Mifune of the Iron Country is a famous swordsman in the ninja world. When he was still in Konoha, Shiraishi heard Sakumo praised the iron country general Mifune more than once. He is the top swordsman in the ninja world. master.

It is said that it has extremely amazing explosive power, and there is no chance for the ninja to connect with the seal, so he was killed by the blade.

Just as the three of Shiraishi were preparing the main entrance of the castle of another country and entered the castle, there was a loud noise behind them, and an extremely terrifying chakra stabbed from behind.

Its amazing momentum made the surrounding warriors too late to react.

Chiko also woke up from the drowsiness, quickly grabbed the spear in both hands, stood behind Shiraishi and Ayane without hesitation, held the spear in front of him, jumped up, and blocked.

boom!

Lightning strikes, snowflakes fly.

The child'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.

"Lord Raiying, please stop!"

It was only at this moment that Samurai Rikaku realized that the person who attacked Shiraishi and the three of them was the Fourth Raikage of Yunyin Village who had come to participate in the five shadow talks.

Immediately, his figure flashed, blocking the road ahead for the fourth generation of Raikage. Although there was nervous sweat on his face, the warrior's belief did not make him take a step back, even in the face of Raikage, one of the five shadows.

He carefully followed the teachings of General Mifune, and in this Five Shadows Talk, the Iron Kingdom would remain absolutely neutral, just to maintain the order of the Five Shadows Talks, not to create enemies.

Therefore, protecting the safety of everyone involved in the talks is an iron rule that samurai samurai should abide by when they sacrifice their lives, and they will not retreat half a step in the face of anyone.

"Samurai, you should step back. Standing in front of you is one of the five shadows, Lord Raikage, if you don't want to lose your life."

The two jōnin guards standing behind the fourth Raikage, one of them walked out, with the dark skin unique to the land of thunder, thick lips, and on his left and right shoulders, 'Ray' and 'Thunder' were engraved respectively. A tattoo of the word "Water" and a broad-bladed epee on his back.

He scratched his head and kindly asked the samurai to retreat.

"The duty is, it is difficult to obey. If Raikage-sama continues to go his own way, the next opponent will be the next."

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

The Yunyin Shangren said helplessly: "Sorry, boss, the negotiation failed."

"It doesn't matter, Darui, my opponent is not a samurai. After many years, let me see how far your strength is, woman with white eyes."

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

The beating eyes of lightning crossed the corner of the samurai and landed on Ayane who was behind him.

Shiraishi, on the other hand, was ignored by the Fourth Raikage.

"It's still as savage and rude as before. This is an important moment for the Five Shadows' talks. As one of the Five Shadows, Raikage, is it really good to continue this nonsense?"

Ayane sighed with a headache.

She knew this was going to happen.

"Don't say such nonsense, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

The roots of the hair stood up, and the Lei Dun armor on the body of the fourth generation Raikage was further violent, the current visible to the naked eye, the wind and snow were all repelled, and it was impossible to approach the sturdy body of the fourth generation Raikage.

"I'm not like you. I don't want to embarrass the warriors here. Let's avoid fighting."

Ayane swept her eyes to the surrounding samurai who were facing a formidable enemy, all of them followed the samurai corner, drew the saber around her waist, and pointed at the fourth Raikage.

This is the territory of the Iron Country. Since he is the host of the Five Shadows Talk, the samurai has reason to maintain the order of the conference venue. This will is unshakable.

"I also don't think this is good, Raikage-sama, please stop."

Another Yunyin Shangin with short yellow hair stepped forward and discouraged the Fourth Raikage from doing so.

Unlike most of the people of the Kingdom of Thunder, this Yunyin Shangin with short yellow hair has very fair skin and looks a bit delicate.

"Cut. It's boring."

The fourth Raikage snorted coldly and swept the surrounding warriors who were staring vigilantly. He also knew that if he wanted to do something with Ayane, these warriors would definitely come and make trouble.

Although this samurai cannot pose any threat to him, the general of the Iron Country, Mifune, still has to give some face.

Seeing the fourth generation of Raikage remove the Lei Dun armor, the samurai Lijiao breathed a sigh of relief and put the blade back into the scabbard. The rest of the samurai also followed Lijiao and put the blade away.

A turmoil subsided.

Chizi walked out of the castle at this time, he walked in front of Shiraishi, his tender little face wrinkled together, and began to complain:

"That uncle's fist hurts so much."

Shiraishi touched Chizi's head and said nothing.

This kid! The fourth Raikage narrowed his eyes.

He knows how heavy the power of his punch just now, and it is definitely not something that a normal ninja can easily deal with.

On the other hand, except for a little dust on his clothes, Chizi's body was like nothing, jumping around there, making his eyes flash with a color of surprise.

"Is this kid a freak, he can still be here as if nothing happened after taking a blow from the boss..."

Darui clicked his tongue and got up.

Sure enough, there must be something special about someone who can serve as a bodyguard together with Ayane Hinata.

"Young people today really don't know how to behave, making noises outside and disturbing the elders to rest. This is a very rude behavior, Raiying boy."

An old laughing sound rang out, and in front of the main entrance of the castle, a short figure floated out, with his hands behind his back, and he rudely remarked on the rude behavior of the Fourth Raikage.

"What are you talking about, Tuying old man! Are you trying to fight?"

The fourth Raikage coldly swept towards the little old man who was floating.

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

Onogi's words undoubtedly stabbed a sensitive nerve in the fourth Raikage's heart.

An incomparably heavy atmosphere was brewing in the open space between Onogi and the Fourth Raikage. The warriors standing around felt this silent sense of oppression and swallowed their saliva.

Once the ninjas of the Five Shadows fight, the momentum alone is enough to make people feel tight in their chest and breath, making it difficult to breathe.

At this moment of tension, a voice sounded from behind Onogi, like a sharp blade:

"Please stop the two of you. Presumably Tuikage and Raikage don't want to see a messy meeting venue."

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

"Mifune-sama."

The person who came out to relieve the siege was the general of the Iron Country, Mifune.

He is the leader of the warriors of the Iron Country, and a master of swordsmanship in the famed ninja world.

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

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

Onogi snorted coldly.

Mifune replied, "Your Excellency Tukage, I'm just fulfilling my duty as a samurai, and I don't want everyone to meet each other in a place like this. This is not a ninja's battlefield."

At the end, Mifune's tone was very firm.

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

Mifune's sharp-edged eyes swept to the snow-covered trees, and the words came out clearly.

The tree on the far right made a sound of stepping on the snow, and Yakura walked out from behind the tree with Ao and Onitoman.

Behind the tree in the middle, the three generations of Hokage Sarutobi Hiizan, and the three Joinin with Konoha, came out from behind the tree.

Behind the tree on the far left, Chiyo, the former advisor of Shayin Village, walked out from behind the tree with two Shayin Junin, her gaze fixed on Shiraishi, and her face remained calm.

"Everyone is here now."

Ohnogi smiled and glanced back and forth between Shiroishi and Chiyo, meaning inexplicable.

Mifune ignored Ohnogi's malicious laughter, but nodded and said calmly: "Everyone has come from a long way, you must be very tired, then please go to the prepared guest room to rest, and the corresponding dinner will also be served. It 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.

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

Shiraishi didn't want to pay attention to the crowd. Under the leadership of the samurai, he walked into the castle with the four-generation Raikage team almost at the same time, and went to the guest room to rest.

At the fork at the intersection, the fourth Raikage took two steps forward, suddenly noticed something, turned around and looked, a figure even shorter than Onogi was following behind them in a dazed way. The child of the spear.

He nodded as he walked, clearly not concentrating.

boom!

Hit Shidai Raikage's thigh, Chiko staggered back two steps and fell to the ground.

He touched his aching buttocks, raised his head and looked at the fourth Raikage, showing a confused look.

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

The fourth Raikage pointed to the road on the opposite side.

Only then did Chiko react, and found that Shiraishi and Ayane had disappeared.

He quickly got up from the ground and kept bowing to the fourth Raikage to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I was a little sleepy just now."

Then he ran towards the road that the fourth Raikage pointed.

"This kid seems to be confused."

Darui looked at the funny figure of the innocent trot, no matter how he looked at it, he was just an immature child.

Another Yun Yin Shangnin said with a serious face: "Don't be careless, Darui, the breath of this kid is a bit weird, I can't feel too many chakra fluctuations in his body."

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

Fourth Raikage didn't say anything, just snorted coldly and continued to move forward.

◎

Eight o'clock in the evening.

The air outside the castle was even colder, and the wind was blowing. The warriors wearing armor and saber stood like wooden stakes in the cold wind and snow. The castle where the Five Shadows talks are held is closely guarded.

Inside the castle and the cold outside are two worlds.

In the conference room where the Five Shadows Talk was about to be held, under the protection of the fireplace, it became extremely warm and could not feel the extremely cold air outside.

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 positions.

This is a huge conference table with a complete ring. The five shadows sit down in the order of 'wind', 'earth', 'fire', 'thunder', and 'water'. On the right side of Yakura, it happens to be where Shiraishi is. , and to the right, is the position of the General of the Iron Country, Mikune.

Due to the slightly longer seat interval for each person, two to three guards can easily stand behind each person.

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

But he didn't have any expression on his face, closed his eyes, seemed to be thinking about something, and was not shaken by external factors.

Ayane, who was behind her, glanced around the venue with a smile on her face, giving off an impression of being cordial and gentle.

The child is trying hard not to let the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid fight, but the bubbles in the nostrils are still unsatisfactory.

Chiyo, who represented Kazekage, had a calm face and flickering eyes. From time to time, he looked towards Shiraishi, not knowing what was on his mind.

Behind her, there stood Sandyin's Kamijin Yekura, a very famous blood-based scorching escape ninja from Sandyin Village.

The other guard, Junin, is also a well-known existence in Shayin Village. His strength is not as good as Ye Cang, but being able to accompany him as Chiyo's guard shows his extraordinary skills.

Then came Tsuchikage Onogi, with a smile on his face, looking back and forth at the faces of the participants in the meeting, as if planning something in his heart.

The two Iwagakushi Jinnin who came with him were his son Huang Tu, and the Bakudun ninja Hunter who came from the blasting force.

The three generations of Hokage Sarutobi Hiizan held an unlit pipe and bit it symbolically in his mouth. He seemed to know that smoking was not good at this time. After all, there were still a few ninjas who smoked.

Behind him is Konoha's pig, deer and butterfly combination. The joint attack is second to none among ninjas. The three of them are the best guards to protect Naruto.

Fourth Raikage clasped his hands on his chest, his face was not angry, his eyes flashed like lightning, and humming came from his nostrils from time to time, and he didn't know what he was dissatisfied with.

Yun Yin Shangren Darui scratched his head, his face was listless, and the three words 'not motivated' were directly written on his face.

With him is Yunyin Shangrenxi, who has a fair complexion different from the people of the Kingdom of Thunder, is proficient in perception, medical ninjutsu, and is also very proficient in illusion. Like Darui, he is one of Yunyin's younger generation. Outstanding talent.

As Mizukage, Yakura looks more casual, with a friendly and powerful smile on his face, and puts his hands on the table with crossed hands, but because he is relatively short, his face is also very immature, like a teenager, even if Trying to look dignified might seem a little off-kilter.

Kamijin Ao, who was behind him, scanned the venue of the meeting with his eyes from time to time, probably looking for another 'guy' to eavesdrop here.

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

This caused many people to stare at him dissatisfied, as if to warn him that this is not his own home, not to do whatever he wants.

The ghost lamp and the full moon didn't care, and still went its own way.

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

Yakura spoke, and there was a hint of headache in his tone.

"Uh, yes, Mistress Shuiying."

Only then did the ghost lamp full moon shyly put away the water glass and stood there straight without making a sound.

Mifune glanced at Wuying and Shiraishi who were present, and showed the guards behind them.

He smiled helplessly in his heart, how to say, more or less, they are a group of relatively independent guys.

Even so, Mifune still tried his best to cheer himself up. In any case, the Five Kingdoms and the Kingdom of Ghosts, it was a kind of trust that the Five Shadows Talks could be hosted by the Kingdom of Iron.

Whether it was out of the position of a neutral country or the trust of the great name of the Iron Nation, Mifune decided to let this Five Shadows Talks go on in a safe and stable manner.

"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 shadow talks officially start, I hope that the five shadows present here, as well as Your Excellency Shiraishi, can value peace. This is not a battlefield, and any acts of force will be stopped in time. This is the position of a neutral country. If No problem, then, this Five Shadows Conference will officially begin. Please, Your Excellency Kazukage Chiyo, the representative of Sandyin Village, be the first to speak, you are the initiator of this Five Shadows 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 leader of the country of ghosts can share the same conference table with me. It should be five Is there an exclusive seat for Shadow and Neutral? I hope Your Excellency Mifune can handle this matter fairly and justly, and set up another seat where the seat of the Kingdom of Ghosts will be arranged."

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

Therefore, Mifune replied calmly: "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 get an invitation to participate in this meeting, the Iron Country, as a neutral country, will not It is the way of 'harmony' of our samurai that no country is biased, and no country will be treated equally."

"It was Lao Shen who issued the invitation. But Lao Shen did not despise the military power of the Ghost Country, but that it was the greatest forbearance of our Five Shadows that a traitor could participate in this kind of meeting without being arrested immediately. Therefore, please also ask. Set up another seat and arrange the seat of the Kingdom of Ghosts, otherwise a rebel sitting here~www.wuxiamtl.com~ will sully the name of the Five Shadows. It is a matter of position."

Qiandai speaks sharply, firmly grasping Shiraishi's identity as a traitor and ninja, and holds on to it.

Mifune frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.

To be honest, there is no difference between betrayal and ninja for the Iron Country.

As long as they don't provoke the Iron Country, the samurai will not interfere in the ninja battles at will.

But obviously, the position of the samurai and the position of the ninja are not the same.

Chiyo's words left him speechless.

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

A sneer flashed in Chiyo's eyes and continued: "Since Mifune is embarrassed about this, let the five shadows present to vote. If the land of ghosts can be recognized by three of the five shadows, it is eligible to sit. Here. I wonder what Your Excellency Mifune would like?"
