When the battle at the border of the Land of Fire comes to an end, thousands of miles away in the Land of Iron, five ninjas standing at the top of the pyramid of the ninja world are gathering.
Compared to today's ninjas who know little about the samurai who live in a corner, the samurai have a better understanding of the ninjas and ninja villages that are now the mainstream of the war.
But seeing the leaders of the five major ninja villages at the same time was also a scene that the samurai of the Iron Kingdom encountered for the first time in their lives.
Not to mention the samurai, even the guards brought to the meeting by each of the five shadows at this time were participating in such an occasion for the first time.
For ninjas and samurai, extravagant atmosphere and decoration will be looked down upon by others. Although Mifune, the general of the Iron Kingdom, knew the identity of the five ninjas he wanted to entertain, he never thought about spending money and too much money.
Make every effort to arrange the venue.
Spacious, concise, and without too many coverings, making it difficult for infiltrators to hide their whereabouts, these are the characteristics Mifune paid attention to when decorating the venue.
There is a thick semicircular conference table on one side of the venue. Shikamaru, the sixth Hokage, is in the middle. On the right are the fifth Kazekage Gaara and the fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei. On the left are the third Tsuchikage Tenghe.
Ohnoki and the Fourth Raikage Haki.
Behind the five kage, there is a wide white cloth hanging straight down from the roof. On it are written the five characters "water, wind, fire, earth, and thunder", each corresponding to the five kage, written on the front of the bamboo hat placed by Shikamaru and others on the table.
The characters are the same.
In front of the semicircular conference table, he sat alone behind a slightly smaller wooden table, facing Shikamaru's host, Samurai Mifune. Behind the white cloth hanging behind the five shadows, their respective guards were silently on guard, waiting to step forward as soon as any situation arose.
The leaders who guard their respective ninja villages emerge.
"Are these the five strongest ninjas?" In an inconspicuous corner of the venue, a samurai wearing gray armor asked his companions in a low voice. His voice came out through the helmet, which sounded somewhat dull.
, but this does not hide his out-of-the-box tone: "There are really all kinds of people, women, old men..."
"How old are those two 'little boys'?" the warrior continued chattering, teasing a little sourly: "Have their hair grown together..."
The man hadn't finished speaking yet, but a man in front of him might as well have heard what he said.
This man did not wear a large armor like the samurai behind him, but just wore a simple kimono. He was slightly thinner, but had a big bald head with a tattoo of a hungry wolf on it, and a long and thin scar that almost ran through him.
Half of his cheeks, despite having a soft and handsome face, exuded a fierce aura.
He is the samurai Okisuke, who has always been relied upon by Mifune as his right-hand man, and he is also the main person in charge of the security of this Five Kage Conference.
Although it is said to be safe, in fact, in the entire Iron Kingdom, there are almost no people who can hurt the Five Shadows. The Iron Kingdom's samurai are actually responsible for preventing others from disturbing the talks, so that the Iron Kingdom and the samurai will not be seen.
clear.
Okisuke understood the horror of the five shadows far better than that low-level samurai with narrow-minded and stupid arrogance. After hearing the words of the low-level samurai, his eyes flashed, and there was a hint of murderous intent. He looked carefully at first
After looking at the location of the Five Shadows and seeing that the other party did not respond, he quickly grabbed the throat of the low-level warrior and dragged him to a corner out of sight of the Five Shadows.
Bang!
The low-level warrior had neither the strength nor the courage to resist and was pulled to the corner by Chongsuke, and then pushed against the wall. The heavy armor collided with the wall, making a muffled sound.
"If you want to die, just say so." Okousuke lowered his scarf and slowly pulled out the kabazashi sword from his waist with one hand: "I will help you, but never kill your companions because of your own stupidity.
"
The low-level warrior Nonuo lowered his head and said nothing, with a stooped figure, and did not dare to reply. Seeing this, Okosuke put away his waist and cursed in a low voice: "Take off your armor, get out and clean the outdoor training ground!"
Taking off this heavy armor in such horrible weather would mean losing half a layer of skin even if you don't die, but the low-level samurai looked at Okisuke's gaping ribs that had not been completely closed, and chose to do it without hesitation.
After Okosuke finished scolding his subordinates, he returned to the front of the team and set his sights on the venue.
Mifune has announced the start of the meeting.
"Since this meeting was initiated by me, let me make some explanations first." Before the meeting started, Shikamaru untied the bandage covering the Rinnegan Eye. Since the two eyes were not consistent, he made
The other four shadows were paying attention frequently, but he always maintained a calm attitude.
However, just as Shikamaru opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the Tsuchikage: "The faces in the Five Kage have changed a lot. It is really remarkable that you have ascended to the position of Hokage at such a young age, Lord the Sixth Hokage."
Neji, who was hiding behind the white cloth behind Shikamaru, frowned secretly after hearing Tsuchikage's words and Onoki's words. The other party's attitude of relying on his elders and showing off his seniority was too explicit and showed his seniority. He also looked down on Shikamaru as a junior.
It made him extremely unhappy.
At this time, Shikamaru turned to look at the Tsuchikage after the Tsuchikage finished speaking. Of course Onoki's attitude was not simply based on personal thoughts and simply relying on his elders.
I'm afraid that before the talks began, the other four Kages had already speculated on the potential of the alliance. Everyone hoped that their own ninja village would take the lead in this ninja alliance. But in fact, Sunagakure Village was not able to take over, and Kirigakure Village was unable to take over.
They have just come out of the predicament and are not qualified to compete for dominance. The only ones who truly have the strength and opportunity to gain dominance are the three villages of Konoha, Iwagakure and Kumogakure.
At this time, each of the five kage represents his or her own Ninja Village, and their attitude and performance will also be directly related to the interests of the Ninja Village. It is no wonder that Onoki, the two-person flat, initially wanted to rely on his elders and show off his seniority to overpower Shikamaru.
One head.
At this moment, if Onoki can beat Shikamaru, it means that Iwagakure Village can beat Konoha Village. And for Shikamaru, he may be able to show some respect for the elderly and care for the young at other times.
The old two-day-old Onoki showed modesty and respect appropriately, but he absolutely couldn't do it now because he represented the Leaf Village.
Therefore, after Tenten Pira Onoki finished speaking, Shikamaru sarcastically said: "Serving as Hokage depends on ability and strength, and it has nothing to do with age. If there is a suitable successor, the predecessor will naturally relinquish the position of Hokage, and there will be no lack of ability, but
Just because you are old enough, you can occupy the position of Hokage. Speaking of which, the Third Tsuchikage-sama has not found a successor yet, does it mean that there is no suitable candidate in Iwagakure Village?"
Onoki raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth, but was unable to respond to Shikamaru's innuendo.
If Onoki said that he has a successor, but in light of what he said before, if he still doesn't abdicate in favor of someone else, it would be tantamount to admitting that he is occupying the Tsuchikage's position.
If a suitable successor has not been found, it also seems that he has accepted his old age and is showing weakness, and is almost no longer qualified for the Tsuchikage's work, and it also seems that Iwagakure Village is not able to take over.
"Whether you have strength or not is not something you can just say with your words during peacetime." Two-day-old Onoki said firmly: "For a truly powerful ninja, even the enemy will recognize his strength."
"It is true that I have never fought against the ninjas of Iwagakure Village," Shikamaru said tit for tat: "At least they are the famous Iwablade."
It was a mistake for Onoki to attack the fact that Shikamaru grew up during peacetime.
Shikamaru is one of the few practical fighters among his peers. He may not have experienced a war, but he also has rich combat experience. When he was still a genin, he fought against Kirigakure Jonin Momochi Zabuza, and then he got out of control and almost
He has fought against the most outstanding ninjas among his peers in the five major ninja villages, and he has always won.
The Battle of Water Kingdom wiped out all the best young ninjas from Kirigakure and Kumogakure. From then on, those who were compared with Shikamaru were all ninjas who had been famous for a long time. When the news came out that he had killed Orochimaru, he was born in Konoha Village.
In the eyes of many ninjas, Nara Shikamaru is already at the top of the pyramid.
If Gaara became famous at a young age because of his status as a Shukaku jinchūriki, Shikamaru, who is similar in age, has achieved such an achievement even more dazzlingly.
So when Shikamaru said these words, implying that Tsuchikage Onoki - he just hadn't fought against the famous ninja of Iwagakure Village, if he had fought, he could still defeat the Iwa nin - from now on, Onoki would just give a low drink.
"Arrogant!", but didn't say anything more.
"The Jinchuuriki of Konoha were attacked by members of the Akatsuki organization three years ago. Since then, we have begun to pay attention to the whereabouts and true purpose of the Akatsuki." Shikamaru saw that Onoki was no longer there for two days.
He opened his mouth and continued: "Orochimaru was once a member of the Akatsuki organization, and after I killed Orochimaru, I also learned a lot of useful information from the information he left behind..."
Just as Shikamaru was talking, the fourth generation Raikage Hai suddenly stood up from behind the table. His movement attracted the attention of the other four shadows and also aroused the vigilance of the five shadow guards.
When the Fourth Raikage Hai slammed his right fist on the table in front of him, the followers of the Five Kages, including Kumo Ninja and Todai, reacted almost at the same time.
Rixiang Neji and Akimichi Choji are not behind others. Even though they know Shikamaru's strength, at this moment, the Hokage, who represents the face of the whole village, is somewhat shameless if he goes into battle shirtless when threatened.
Light.
Ri turned to Neji and tapped lightly on the wall. He landed lightly in front of Shikamaru. His hands were parted and his feet were in line. Cloud patterns emerged from his body and covered his whole body in a very short time.
On his palms, there are two groups of chakra condensed visible to the naked eye.
Akimichi Choji was slightly slower than Ri, but his momentum was the most astonishing. Choji, who used the doubling technique, stood behind Shikamaru, his head almost touching the ceiling of the venue, leaning forward slightly, and
With one hand on the ground, Shikamaru was completely blocked behind his arm, leaving him in a safe area.
The followers of the Five Shadows also showed off their skills and stood in front of the leaders of their respective ninja villages. For a moment, the place was almost in chaos.
