He looked at Qingshu, carefully discerned his expression, and asked: "Do you think this is a threat?"
"It doesn't count." Haruki shook his head, "You should understand that Konoha has no need to threaten you."
Mifune's body shook slightly.
Qingshu said it right.
With the strength of Konoha, the Iron Kingdom is indeed not worth threatening.
But such frivolous words are even more uncomfortable.
The reason why the Iron Kingdom is neutral is not because it loves peace, but because it is mixed between the Fire Kingdom and the Thunder Kingdom and does not want to become cannon fodder.
Haruki's meaning is simple, he doesn't follow the rules.
Rules always vary from person to person.
Mifune sighed and asked: "I don't understand why you want to enter the Kingdom of Thunder through the Kingdom of Iron this time?"
The familiar question made Qingshu shake his head.
In this world, whether they are ninjas or samurai, they all seem to have highly consistent thinking.
They unknowingly became supporters of the feudal system.
We will not change the old system.
Even when someone tries to reform, they will hit hard.
Haruki picked up the map on the tatami and asked: "If the two small countries around the Iron Kingdom and the Kingdom of Thunder all belong to the Kingdom of Fire, can your Iron Kingdom still be neutral?"
Mifune opened his mouth: "This is impossible..."
"Nothing is impossible."
Haruki laughed and said, "Mifune, don't be so naive. I have already said too much. The rest depends on your attitude."
Mifune's body was shaken again.
On the left side of the Kingdom of Iron is the ocean, on the right side are the Kingdom of Fire and two small kingdoms.
If what Haruki said is true, then the future of the Iron Country will almost entirely depend on the Fire Country.
Suddenly he had a dangerous idea.
United with the Kingdom of Thunder to attack the Kingdom of Fire.
But doing so is tantamount to pulling chestnuts from the fire.
When the Kingdom of Thunder is not destroyed, the Kingdom of Iron will disappear first.
Mifune was silent.
The Qingshu smile in front of him was as bright as the sun, but it gave him far more pressure than anyone else.
What is it?
Maybe it's the confidence in strategizing.
Mifune said with a serious tone: "I don't believe you."
Qingshu smiled faintly and asked: "So your decision is to refuse?"
Mifune shook his head and said slowly: "No, we have to make a written statement."
"If you want it, of course you can."
Haruki nodded with satisfaction and asked Hatake Sakumo to take out a pen and paper and write down the treaty.
The core is that the Iron Kingdom borrows from the Fire Kingdom, and the Fire Kingdom guarantees the security and neutrality of the Iron Kingdom.
After finishing writing, Qingshu remembered the tribute system inexplicably.
Mifune put away the papers and stopped blocking Konoha's army.
Haruki and Hatake Sakumo easily traveled through the hinterland of the Iron Country and arrived at the seaside.
"The army of the nobles of the Country of Fire entered the Country of Fields with great force."
Hatake Sakumo was thinking about the message from the ANBU.
I couldn't help but admire the calm Qingshu.
It is impossible for an army of ten thousand ninjas to hide their traces.
Although strict investigations have been carried out, there are no undercover agents within the army, but external spies, the Anbu of Yunyin Village, still exist.
He now suspects that Qingshu let Ai go on purpose.
After all, it will take a certain amount of time for Ai to take over the work of the Third Raikage.
Taking advantage of the time lag between replacing the Raikage, Haruki broke through the rules of a neutral country and came to the seaside via the Iron Country.
If that's the case, then that's it, Haruki can actually let the nobles lead the Fire Country's army into the Land of Fields.
Being so undisguised will definitely attract the attention of Yunyin Village.
In a disguised manner, they reduce the probability of being discovered.
"What a rabble."
Qingshu shook his head.
What a huge momentum, it is just scrambling for the first place, and even the basic military literacy is too lazy to abide by.
If a war really breaks out, it will be purely to give military glory to others.
But he had no hope for them.
At this moment, they were playing their best role as Haruki expected, attracting the enemy head-on.
Hatake Sakumo couldn't quite understand what Haruki meant.
They are obviously here to help Konoha. Although they are indeed very good, you don't want to scold them, right?
"The Kingdom of Thunder should also have responded, right?"
Haruki asked softly as he watched the ninja in front of him use the trees he summoned to piece together a raft.
"Yes. The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder and the Fourth Raikage Ai announced to the ninja world that we, Konoha and Sunagakure Village, captured the Third Raikage. This is a self-directed and self-acted act. The evildoers will complain first."
When Hatake Sakumo said this, he snorted coldly, "That's extremely shameless."
Qingshu turned to look at him and said slowly: "There is nothing shameless in a war between countries."
Hatake Sakumo did not dwell on this topic. He continued to report: "The standing army of the Land of Thunder is rushing towards the border, but the speed is definitely slower than that of Kumogakure. According to ANBU news, two thousand ninjas from Kumogakure are serving as the vanguard.
Arrive immediately near Chiba Port."
"It seems we have to hurry up."
Haruki immediately ordered everyone to get on the boat.
The huge tree trunk was hollowed out, the sail was set, and it headed towards Chiba Port.
"Fugaku, you have people use illusions or barriers to cover up all the ships."
"yes."
Uchiha Fugaku took action immediately without any further questioning.
After a moment, a faint chakra shield rose.
If someone feels something strange outside, when he observes carefully, he will fall into the illusion unknowingly.
The high-hanging sun gradually descends, and the rays of rays cover the sea, making the waves sparkling.
The harbor in the distance comes into view.
"Aburame Zhiwei."
Qingshu stood at the bow of the boat and calmly called out a name.
Behind him, Aburame Shih slightly raised her head.
No need to say more.
He already understood what Qingshu meant.
The next moment, a light breeze blew in the air.
Countless transparent bugs flew out from under his clothes, and under his control, they quickly flew to the ferry.
Two more people stepped forward and projected the insect's vision.
A minute later, the scene at the port was clearly visible.
Since it was close to dusk, there weren't many people.
The insect continued to move forward and came to Chiba City.
Chiba is a city on the plains. Compared to a mountain city that relies on terrain, Chiba relies more on artificial intelligence.
With the river flowing into the ocean as a barrier, and the built walls and trenches, the defense was pretty good.
But for Ninja, there are too many loopholes.
Aburame Zhiwei's mind is connected to his bug, without the need for projection.
As soon as his thoughts changed, the insects dispersed and slowly climbed up the city wall.
The soldiers on guard did not notice the nearly transparent bugs at all.
Suddenly, they felt severe pain rising from inside the armor.
Someone immediately realized something was wrong.
But it's too late.
After a few seconds, all the guards on the city wall fell.
According to the change of guard time, it will take at least three hours.
Haruki raised his hand, and an army of ten thousand ninjas jumped up and landed one after another, occupying this extremely important port without any effort.
The lively streets were dead silent.
They encountered a lot of symbolic resistance.
As one of the lifelines of transportation, nearly 2,000 troops are stationed.
"Fugaku, find the person in charge of this city. I need to know the specific time when the vanguard of Yunyin Village will arrive."
