Escape From Konoha Chapter 759

  Chapter 759 Opening

   "This castle has passed for so many years, but it still hasn't changed at all."

   Entering the interior of the snow castle, Ayane looked at the familiar corridor layout, which was almost exactly the same as when she came here in the past, without any change. Some places were obviously damaged, but they were not renovated, only repaired.

   However, the floor is spotless, and it looks as clean and tidy as before, and even the corridors feel much wider and brighter.

   "After all, the residences of the samurai and Mifune's personality make it impossible to be too extravagant. Being too comfortable will slow down his swordsmanship. This is not a good thing for a neutral country sandwiched between great powers."

   Shiraishi responded.

  General Mifune of the Iron Country is not only a top-notch swordsman in the ninja world, but also meticulous in character and upright in dealing with things. For a samurai with a high heart like him, he doesn't value material enjoyment very much.

  Compared to the past, the current Mifune's aura is completely restrained, and looks like an ordinary old man from the outside.

  But Baishi knew that this was a natural camouflage formed after the opponent reached the realm of returning to basics. Once he really made a move, it would be a thunderous blow, destroying the enemy as quickly as possible.

  In the era of ninjas, it is already a great honor to open up a way of the samurai and lead the samurai forward.

   Ayane nodded, as a recognition of this point.

   Although the trend of this era does not tend to be samurai, the power of samurai is also not weak. When encountering ninjas with weak physical skills or samurai who are good at surprise attacks, it is not a problem to kill ninjas in an instant.

  General Mifune of the Iron Country once had a dazzling record of beheading dozens of ninjas in an instant.

   Now that the swordsmanship is more powerful, to a certain extent, it may be comparable to the Five Kages.

   "Three, this is—"

  The samurai leading the way came to a door and was about to take out the key to open the door for the three of Baishi when a burst of thunder suddenly resounded in the open corridor.

  A blinding figure of lightning rushed over in an instant, aiming directly at the three of Baishi.

  The shadow at Baishi's feet began to move, but the one who made a move earlier than the shadow had already predicted the enemy's movements, like a loyal guard protecting Cai.

  The chakra in the body surged rapidly and gathered in the palm of the hand, and then the figure flickered out, blocking the path of the humanoid thunder light, swung the palm with a large amount of chakra, and detonated it in mid-air in one breath.

  Boom!

  The galloping thunder and lightning and the explosive fluctuations of the air swept across the entire corridor immediately, causing the floor and ceiling to tremble violently.

"snort!"

  The burly figure surrounded by lightning let out a humming sound from its nostrils, and swung its fists hard again.

  Huge force poured into Cai's body, causing him to almost lose his intuition in his entire arm. His expression changed involuntarily, and he hurriedly dodged backwards, avoiding the thought of colliding head-on with the opponent, retreated in front of Baishi, and looked at the attacker with vigilant eyes.

   "Master Rai, Raikage, please stop, fighting is prohibited here!"

  The samurai, who reacted a little slower, immediately reacted, and came to the middle of the two sides, preventing the strong man wrapped in dense lightning from making another move.

   Seems to have obeyed the samurai's request, Fourth Raikage really stopped the desire to do something, and the dense lightning on his body slowly faded away.

   "It's really disappointing. I wanted to try to see if your soft fist has deteriorated after all these years."

  The Fourth Raikage twisted his wrist, making a crisp sound, giving people a very strong beast posture.

  His eyes locked on Ayane who was standing beside Shiraishi, and the thunder light in his eyes beat faintly, with a strong aggressiveness.

   "...It's just that it was on the battlefield in the past, which added a little chaos to you. There's no need for you to hold on to Raikage for so many years, right?"

  Ayane was speechless about the Fourth Raikage's desire to fight, and spread her hands helplessly.

   "You are the first ninja who let me suffer in terms of physical skills, just like that **** in yellow flash, who can defeat me in terms of speed."

  The Fourth Raikage said so.

  Since he became famous when he was young, what he is most proud of is his invulnerable body and his proud speed.

   But in these two fields, Taijutsu was first suppressed by Ayane, and was suppressed by the yellow flash in terms of speed. Therefore, Ayane and Namikaze Minato were the two ninjas he most wanted to defeat.

  Because of these two people, he has constantly spurred himself over the years, polished his body to be harder, and made his speed faster, in order to one day be able to avenge his shame and surpass his own limit.

   As he spoke, Fourth Raikage took a look at Sai who had just fought against him. The opponent's breathing had calmed down, and the vigilance in his eyes was still lingering. He was on guard for something.

   "This is your son, isn't he? He's a pretty good kid, with a bit of your demeanor. It doesn't seem like Konoha's Hyuga clan has practiced soft fist crookedly."

   He is not stingy about praising Cai. Although he is far from his level, his fire is still a lot worse, but being able to receive his own punch without a scratch is already a very remarkable strength at this age, and he has great potential to be tapped.

  At the same time, in his words, he highly recognized the correctness of the Hyuga clan in the country of ghosts, and expressed disdain and contempt for the conservative and stubborn Hyuga clan in Konoha.

  Compared to the soft fist of the mother and son, Konoha's Hyuga clan seems to have gone on a crooked path, completely failing to dig out the power of the soft fist and white eyes, consuming blood and continuing to limit the potential.

   "Even so, I won't do anything here. I don't want to have no place to stand when I have a meeting at night. Moreover, this is a neutral chassis, so it would be rude to add confusion to others."

   Ayane appeared to be polite, and calmly resolved the provocative offensive of the Fourth Raikage.

  The samurai on the side heaved a sigh of relief. After all, if a fight broke out between these two, the entire castle would be torn up by the two of them as pieces of paper.

  The thunder in the eyes of the fourth generation of Raikage went out, and the drums completely died down.

   "Don't worry, I'm just here to say hello, and I don't have any serious plans to do anything here."

   As he spoke, Fourth Raikage wore an open white coat, turned around and left without delay.

   Looks like he really just came over to say hello with his fist.

   "Hmm... It's really troublesome to be targeted by such a troublesome person. Why don't you sneak him out on the road later and let him be completely quiet."

  After the fourth generation of Raikage left, Ayane said these words, and the smile on her face became brighter and more beautiful, as if she suddenly thought of something extremely happy.

  The samurai next to him heard this sentence, and his face was filled with cold sweat.

  Using the most touching smile, but speaking the most cruel and cold-blooded words, it seems that what he wants to kill is not a Wuying, but an ant that can be crushed to death by the side of the road.

  This terrifying woman must not be provoked. The samurai was under great pressure.

   "Don't mess around, we're not here to fight."

  Shiraishi shook his head, he didn't take Ayane's words to heart, most of them just said it casually, and didn't plan to take any real action.

   Ayane shrugged, but did not answer.

   "Boss, you are too messy, this will cause trouble to others."

  Watching the fourth Raikage come back, Darui spoke weakly, as if blaming the fourth Raikage for his unauthorized actions.

   "Darui, Raikage-sama has his own plan, we just need to support it with all our strength."

  Kami Shinobi, who is in charge of perception, refuted Darui's words.

   "I'm talking about messing around, Xi, it's better to say that the other party was not provoked successfully, otherwise, with the fighting level of the Boss and the white-eyed woman, we will all have to have a meeting in the ice and snow, and then spend the night."

   Darui squinted at Xi.

  Nozomi did not respond, but looked at Fourth Raikage, and asked, "Master Raikage, what should we do next? Are you going to visit Hokage and Tsuchikage-sama, and communicate with them in advance?"

  Although Yunyin was the first to come to the castle, they have not yet met with Tukage and Hokage.

   "There is no need to ventilate in advance, wait until Fengying and Shuiying arrive. Don't forget the purpose of our coming here."

  Fourth Raikage waved his hand.

  Hearing this, Darui and Xi both looked serious, and nodded seriously.

   "The organization called Akatsuki is really powerful. I didn't expect that even a ninja as powerful as Lord Kirabi would be defeated by them. It really shouldn't be underestimated."

   Xi said solemnly.

   "Not only that, there are also a large number of humanoid soldiers controlled by them in the Land of Rain. I heard that there is also a problem with the Renzhuli on the side of Kirigakure... This is a major issue that affects the survival of all major countries."

  As the captain who previously managed the Yunyin search force stationed in the Land of Rain, Darui has a more intuitive sense of the situation in the Land of Rain than the rest, and the impact it brings is stronger.

   It is no exaggeration to say that with the power Xiao is displaying in front of the stage now, even if several major powers unite, there may not be hope of victory.

   "That is to say, now, except Konoha's Nine-Tails and Nanao, which is in the hands of someone who doesn't know, the rest of the tailed beasts have fallen into the hands of this Akatsuki organization. It is indeed a very powerful force. However, speaking of Nanao, there are rumors that it is in the hands of the ghost country. I don't know if this information is true or not."

  Xi thought of the gossip rumors that had spread before, and locked Nanao's whereabouts on Oniguo Guo.

   "They have always claimed that there are no tailed beasts in their country, although such unilateral claims seem to be deceiving and not convincing at all."

  Darui scratched his head, also confused about Nanao's whereabouts.

   "Who knows about this kind of thing. But it is very simple to confirm the truth. Just ask at the meeting later. Anyway, at this time, if Nanao is really in the hands of Oni no Kuni, there is no point in continuing to conceal it. If the big countries do not unite now, they will only be defeated by Akatsuki."

  Gee made this point.

   "Union? I don't think the alliance will go as smoothly as expected. The country of ghosts has been hidden in the fog, and people don't know what they are thinking. Boss, maybe we should be more careful."

  Darui narrowed his eyes slightly.

   "I don't need you to tell me about this kind of thing. There are rumors that the Kingdom of Demons colluded with Akatsuki to trigger Nine-Tails Runaway sixteen years ago and assassinate Konoha's Yellow Flash. Although no concrete evidence has been found and there are no strong witnesses, the attitude of the Kingdom of Demons towards this organization is sometimes really strange."

  Fourth Raikage frowned and spoke his mind.

   "Master Raikage, do you need me to keep an eye on them?"

  Hee volunteered.

   "No, they now have two pairs of blank eyes. If they want to monitor, they will find out immediately. Moreover, the next point is to reach a consensus with other countries to deal with this troublesome existence of Akatsuki. Now take a good rest and wait for the meeting to start."

  Fourth Raikage has not forgotten the purpose of the Five Kages Conference. Monitoring the Kingdom of Oni is not only meaningless, but will also cause a lot of trouble for himself.

"yes."

   Darui and Nozomi looked at each other, obeying the order of the Fourth Raikage.

  Fourth Kazekage Rasa and Fifth Mizukage Terumimei arrived at the samurai castle in the Iron Country at 1 pm and 2 pm respectively.

   While there was still some time, the teams of Sagakure and Kirigakure took a rest in the castle to wash off the wind and dust on their bodies. It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that they walked towards the large meeting room in the castle under the leadership of the corresponding samurai.

  Through the window of the corridor, you can see the icy picture of the snow and ice outside. The lake is frozen, and the rocks and trees are also covered with white snow and ice. There are hundreds of warriors wearing thick armor and sharp blades, proudly in the snow outside, launching strict patrols.

  Anbe, who came with Five Kages, was also scattered in the shadows inside and outside the castle, holding his breath, and stationed with the warriors.

  The lounges of the various senators are not in the same area, so in the corridor leading to the meeting room, only the samurai who lead the way and their own team are left.

  Heating devices are installed in the corridor, which is different from the cold outside. It looks warm and harmonious, and there is no whining wind, which makes the corridor with only footsteps more quiet.

   Just a few walls separated, as if divided into two worlds.

  When Shiraishi brought Ayane and Aya to the conference room, Konoha and Yunyin's team seemed to be the first to arrive, as if they had been prepared.

  Kumin is the same standard three-person combination as the Oni Land, except for the fourth generation of Raikage who is the leader, standing behind are Darui and Nozomi.

   On Konoha's side, there is a four-person group. In addition to Tsunade who is sitting in his own seat, standing behind are Yamanaka Kaiichi and Akimichi Kaiichi among Ikacho... and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto.

  In order not to give Nagato a chance, did you bring it to the Five Kages Convention? Shiraishi glanced at Naruto and began to analyze.

  Faced with the attack of Penn Rokudo, Konoha suffered heavy losses to the combatants, and Naruto, who is Jinchuriki, was in a dire situation.

   Now that the face is being torn apart, the nine tails in Naruto's body may be coveted by Akatsuki at any time.

   On the contrary, when brought to the Five Kages Convention site, there are many powerful ninjas asylum, even if Akatsuki launched an attack here, he would not be able to take Kyuubi under the noses of everyone.

  But when Shiraishi set his eyes on Naruto, Naruto also looked at Shiraishi at the same time. There seemed to be some kind of strong will in his blue pupils.

   "Why, looking at me like this, are you planning to get news about Kakashi and the others from me?"

   Shiraishi looked at Naruto with a smile, as if he planned to use him as an entry point to talk about Konoha's style.

  However, just as this plan was about to be implemented, Naruto, who was about to speak excitedly, was stopped by Tsunade with his hands, and then she gave Shiraishi an angrily look.

   "Anyway, you are also a senior in the ninja world. Don't you think it's too much to use such words to deal with a junior, brat?"

   "This is wronging me, Tsunade-sensei, I just want to satisfy the younger generation's request for a deep mentor-student relationship, and I don't intend to do anything bad."

   Being picked up by Tsunade, Shiraishi sighed helplessly, as if he really considered Naruto as he said.

   It's just that, in Tsunade's view, this is just the performance of the other party's nonsense, without the slightest sincerity.

  Afterwards, Shiraishi sat down, at the circular conference table, there was a space between him and Fourth Raikage, and the right side of Fourth Raikage was exactly where Tsunade was.

   Ayane and Cai stood meticulously behind Shiraishi. Since it was the first time, Cai began to look around curiously.

   "However, you are not a pure couple when you go out this time, but a family of three. Why, is it because the backyard is on fire?"

  After Shiraishi sat down, Tsunade quickly counterattacked, provoking and at the same time teasing.

  Before Shiraishi answered, Ayane responded with a smile that didn't take the matter too seriously: "Yes, Hokage-sama, the day before departure, Shiraishi-kun and Liuli had a fight. Oh, the fighting scene was really fierce."

  Shiraishi, who wanted to say something, was immediately blocked by Ayane's words, and remained silent.

   And hearing the words that Baishi and Liuli had fought, Caiyan suddenly became dazed. Didn't mother say that the two of them worked overtime together at night the day before? Why did they change their words and say that there was a fight? How strange.

   Tsunade revealed a look of great interest when he heard the words.

  Yun Yin's two jounin were also interested in the gossip of this kind of big man, and while standing upright, they also began to listen to each other to pass the time.

  Only the fourth generation of Raikage folded his hands, closed his eyes and sat on the position to fall asleep. He had no interest in such gossip topics, and even sneered.

   "Boy, I told you a long time ago that there will be no good results if you step on two boats. Now you will suffer."

   Tsunade seemed happy to see Shiraishi deflated.

  However, Shiraishi didn't care, but calmly returned Tsunade's glance, with a bit of pity and sympathy.

   "Hey, what does your look mean?"

   Tsunade frowned seeing Shiraishi's expression.

  Just now she was sure that Baishi was thinking about something extremely rude.

   Baishi still didn't answer, picked up the tea that had been prepared in front of him, took a sip calmly, and moistened his throat.

  It's a pity that wolfberries cannot be soaked here.

  That night he had a big fight with Liuli. Although he succeeded in 'severely injuring' Liuli, he also suffered a strong backlash and needed tonic to recover from his injuries.

  At this time, footsteps sounded, and someone came in.

  Third Tsuchikage Onogi, Fourth Kazekage Rasa, Fifth Mizukage Terumimei, and the guards who followed in, stepped forward one after another and entered the conference room.

   Terumi Mei came to Shiraishi's left and sat down, between Shiraishi and Fourth Raikage.

   The two guards who came with her are Kirigakure's Kami Ninja Ao, and One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Onito Mitsuki.

   On the right side of Shiraishi, there is an empty seat, and on the right side, there are two people, Luo Sha and Onogi.

   Tsunade no longer intervened in the topic with Shiraishi, his face straightened, and he put on a very solemn expression, while inadvertently scanning the faces of everyone, as if he was observing something carefully.

  Because the three shadows entered the arena one after another, the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became much quieter, only the extremely long and inaudible breathing sound of everyone remained.

   Shiraishi still drank tea calmly, just like the Fourth Raikage who was thinking in slumber, he didn't care about the arrival of other people, and he didn't look at the people entering the meeting room with his eyes, just thinking about his own affairs quietly.

  Finally, in such an extremely quiet atmosphere, the sound of steady and powerful footsteps sounded again, and at the same time, there was the sound of the door of the conference room being closed.

   Entering the venue was Mifune, General of the Iron Country who presided over the meeting.

  As a neutral party, he was acquiesced in being qualified to host the Five Kages Conference.

   Came to the empty space between Baishi and Luosha, the three boats who came with swords did not sit down, and glanced at all the people present, watching these scenes of deja vu. It seems that I have presided over such a meeting more than once in this castle, and I couldn't help but sighed in my heart.

  Although as the host, it is not necessary to join the position of the ninjas. Even if these big countries go to war with the so-called Akatsuki organization, the samurai will never participate... But no matter how many times I face such a scene, I still feel extremely headache.

  I can only hope that this time, I can go through it smoothly and safely, and don't make any trouble here, affecting the peace of the Iron Kingdom.

  He is over sixty years old, and he just wants to spend his old age in peace and stability.

   "Everyone."

  Using the opening remarks from the past, Mifune coughed lightly, and focused everyone's attention. Even Raikage Fourth, who had been feigning sleep, opened his eyes under Mifune's cough.

   "I won't say much about the rules here. Presumably, everyone who has been here a few times knows the rules of the neutral party. Please regard peace as the most important thing. The meeting belongs to the meeting. If you want to use force, you will step forward to stop it next time."

  Seeing that Gokage, who was the mastermind of the meeting, and the Minister of Military Affairs of Oni Land did not refute, but just listened quietly, Mifune couldn't help but nodded. Such a peaceful scene was exactly what he wanted to see.

   "Then, the meeting officially begins. As the first initiator of the Five Kages Conference, Your Excellency Dokage, you should speak first."

   Mifune looked at Onogi who was sitting on the seat. With the height of the other party, basically only the part above the neck was not blocked by the table.

   "In this case, let me speak first." Onoki did not refuse, took the stalk in Mifune's hands, and then glanced at everyone's faces with a sharp gaze, and said: "I think everyone who participated in the meeting is well aware of the matter of the Land of Rain. The existence of the Land of Rain, Yuyin, or Akatsuki has seriously endangered the safety of the ninja world. At this point, the old man proposes that the countries we all belong to form an unprecedented alliance army to wipe out Akatsuki with a thunderbolt!"

  The seriousness of the matter prevented Onoki from exchanging meaningless nonsense, but went straight to the topic of the meeting, formally sending out invitations to all countries to form an alliance of six major powers, and re-continuing the international balance under the rule of major powers.

   In order to achieve this balance, it is necessary to eliminate the Kingdom of Rain, which has the potential to become the seventh largest country, and completely kill the danger in its infancy.
