People raise Hokage in Yunyin

The Kingdom of Iron is located in the northernmost part of the Ninja World.

It has been a neutral country since ancient times. The nobles and civilians in the country highly respect the way of the samurai. It is a country of samurai through and through.

Although he has considerable strength, he never participates in wars between ninjas. It is precisely because of his absolutely neutral status that he has gained the attention and respect of all ninja villages.

In the Kingdom of Iron, in a forest covered by ice and snow all year round, stands a tall and towering fortress.

In the snow, a strong man walked up first, it was the Fourth Raikage Ai. Even in such a cold environment, he only wore a pure white coat, exposing large muscles.

The Raikage was carrying a shadow hat that symbolized the name "Kage", and was followed by two Kumogakure ninjas as guards.

At the main entrance of the castle, a dozen sword warriors stood on guard with serious expressions, their eyes sharp, their palms pressed on the handles of their swords, ready to attack at any time.

Seeing the Raikage approaching, the two samurai stepped forward to greet him.

"Lord Raikage, Master Mifune is waiting inside. Please let us guide you."

One of the warriors said respectfully.

"Is everyone here?" the Fourth Raikage asked.

"Only Konoha arrived before you."

Raikage frowned, a little dissatisfied with the efficiency of each village.

"Young man from Kumogakure, you have such an impatient temper, just like your father, the Third Raikage."

Joking laughter was heard, and a short figure floated from the side and approached everyone.

"Old man Tsuchikage, if you don't want to die, keep your mouth clean!"

The Tsuchikage's words stung the Fourth Raikage. He had always regretted not being able to avenge his father.

"Otherwise, it's just up to you?" Tsuchikage still looked like he didn't think it was a big deal.

A heavy atmosphere spread between the two of them. Raikage clenched his fists, and blue lightning emerged from the surface of his body. Tsuchikage also restrained his frivolous expression and looked at Raikage seriously.

"Please stop, both of you. It would be of no benefit to us to fight at this time!"

The voice came, and the fourth generation Kazekage Luosha came from a distance, with red hair flying in the wind and snow, and a high-spirited smile on his face.

Unlike the experienced Tsuchikage and the Raikage who was firmly seated on the Diaoyutai, this conference was of great significance to the Kazekage.

Kumogakure has already achieved victory on the battlefield, and Iwagakure has not invested much in the war. Only Sunagakure is still in a stalemate with Konoha on the battlefield. Rasa needs to rely on the pressure of many countries to make Konoha give in, thereby seeking benefits.

Moreover, this war was a rare one in which Sunagakure and Konoha were evenly matched.

‘Perhaps this is the best decision I have ever made since taking office! ’ Luo Sha thought happily.

Seeing Feng Ying trying to dissuade them, the two stopped.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Besides, seeing Feng Ying looking so happy, I'm afraid he wouldn't care if he said a few words to him. The two of them looked at Feng Ying a little weirdly. Generally speaking, as the shadow of a village, they are all happy. I don't show my appearance, but look at Feng Ying like this...

In fact, everyone can understand that after several wars, Sunagakure, which is closest to Konoha and has the worst environment, has always been at the forefront. It has almost completely turned into a subsidiary village. Now it can gain some advantages. It is also not easy.

The woods in the distance were rustling, and the fourth Mizukage Yagura, holding a strange weapon, walked out of it, followed by the guard ninja Ao wearing an eyepatch.

After several people looked at each other, they walked into the castle one after another.

Entering the castle, General Mifune of the Kingdom of Iron greeted him.

"Welcome everyone. You have been on a hard journey and I am sure you are tired. We have prepared a rest room for you. Dinner will be served in due course. Please take a rest. The Five Shadows Conference will be held on time at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Who is coming to Konoha, the new Hokage?" Yagura asked calmly.

"It's Konoha's acting Hokage, His Excellency Danzo Shimura. He's already fixing things in his room." Mifune replied.

Several people understood and followed the samurai's guidance to different rooms.

……

The night was getting darker, and Yagura was waiting quietly in the room after dinner.

dong dong~

After two knocks on the door, Qing stepped forward to open the door.

"I am Konoha's acting Hokage Shimura Danzo."

The visitor was middle-aged, with a cross scar on his chin, and his right eye was wrapped thickly with a bandage.

"What's the matter, Your Excellency?"

Yagura signaled Ao to step aside, and Danzo walked straight in.

"Yakura-dono, on behalf of Konoha, I hope to form an alliance with you Kirigakure."

Danzo got straight to the point and directly stated his purpose.

"Oh?"

Yagura's expression was cold and he didn't seem interested.

"This time Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure jointly launched an attack on Konoha, which led to Konoha's failure. If we don't unite, I'm afraid we will be targeted more or less in the future, right?"

Danzo was confident and confident that he could convince the other party.

"Then why don't we Kirigakure side with Kumogakure? Compared with the weak Konoha, it seems more meaningful to unite with the stronger Kumogakure, right?"

"Because Kumogakure defeated Konoha, it is already the most well-deserved strongest ninja village. I don't think Kirigakure wants Kumogakure to continue to develop, right?"

Danzo said meaningfully.

"What's more, I heard that Kirigakure's situation isn't very good recently. Is Kirigakure turning to Kumogakure more like a powerful assistant, or a piece of fat?"

Danzo had a somewhat tentative look on his face. Kirigakure's confidentiality was very good, and he only received a small amount of information.

"You have crossed the line, Deputy Hokage!" Yagura said coldly.

"I'm sorry, I'm just curious." Danzo retracted his temptation.

"So, what is Mizukage-dono's decision?"

"How do you want to cooperate?"

Yagura relented. Kirigakure had already planned to contact Konoha. As Danzo said, none of them wanted to see Kumogakure continue to develop. And Kirigakure, who was in a bad situation now, really needed Konoha to attract firepower outside, and Yagura The only thing Kura needs to determine is whether the next leader of Konoha can do this.

"We, Konoha and Kumogakure, have roughly discussed the regulations in advance. However, Sunagakure and Iwagakure are still in a stalemate in the war with us. They are not considered winners. They just want to cut flesh from Konoha. We hope You can help us reduce our losses in this area."

"After we return to the village, we will send people to sign an alliance treaty with Kirigakure." Danzo said the content of the cooperation.

"I think even Kirigakure doesn't want future collaborators to be too weak."

After a short period of silence, Yagura asked: "Last question, you are still the acting Hokage, are you qualified to make a promise to Kirigakure on behalf of Konoha?"

"The word agent will disappear soon." Danzo said confidently.

"Then...wish us happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation!"

-

Early the next morning, everyone was led by the samurai to the meeting hall, and they all placed their identity-representing shadow hats in front of them.

"Then, the Five Shadows Conference begins. Please speak freely."

Mifune bowed slightly and walked out from the side door. The following content was not suitable for neutral countries to participate.

After a brief silence, Danzo spoke first.

"Everyone, we in Konoha hold the Five Shadows Conference this time for two main purposes."

The other four were silent and listened to his words.

"First of all, on behalf of Konoha, I apologize to Kumogakure. Due to the execution of the mission, our ninjas have repeatedly approached Kumogakure's border. It is really our fault. We will compensate Kumogakure. And because of this incident, Let us believe that Konoha is no longer suitable to assume the responsibility of being the leader of the five great ninja villages, and hope that Kumogakure can take over this important task and lead the five great ninja villages and the ninja world to better development."

Danzo smiled, not mentioning the war at all, and nodded slightly to Raikage.

Raikage took the words calmly: "As one of the five great ninja villages, we Kumogakure have enough strength and ability to shoulder this important task. We are also grateful for Konoha's trust and support. Kumogakure will definitely take the lead in the future. , leading everyone to new development!”

The Raikage felt a little excited. Although it was just these words, it was the effect that generations of Raikages wanted to achieve most. Cloud Hidden Village was supported by the Kingdom of Thunder, and they never had to worry about supplies or tasks. The only thing they wanted was reputation. Now, finally In the hands of his generation, the Raikage reached its peak.

"We apologize for what happened to the Third Hokage. I accidentally hurt your Hokage during the local friction. I'm really sorry."

Raikage took a scroll from the guard behind him and handed it to Danzo.

"It's really the Third Hokage who is too old that has suffered this. You don't need to feel too guilty."

Danzo stretched out his hands and took the scroll from Raikage's hand, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Then he handed the scroll to the Konoha guard behind him, and the guard took it respectfully.

"Then the second theme comes. We in Konoha hope to deepen the connections between the major ninja villages. As the leader of the ninja world, we cannot always start wars..."

Danzo spoke very fast and quickly started the second topic.

"Wait a minute...what about the compensation to our Sunagakure and Iwagakure?"

Luo Sha's expression changed and she interrupted Danzo's words.

Onoki was also watching with a smile, with some dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Oh, sorry, sorry." Danzo seemed to have just noticed the two of them.

"For the previous intrusion of our ninjas into the border between Sunagakure and Iwagakure, it was indeed Konoha's fault. We will make monetary compensation to Sunagakure and Iwagakure. The specific details will be discussed by the ninja and the two later."

"Only money?" Luo Sha's face looked a little ugly.

Monetary compensation is meaningless to Sunagakure. Water, food, and even mission quotas are what Sunagakure really needs for development.

"Acting Hokage, don't forget the war in front of you!"

Luo Sha looked stern and asked loudly.

"War, what kind of war? This time is just a local conflict. You don't really want to launch a full-scale war with Konoha, do you?"

Danzo's face was gloomy and his eyes were fierce, but Luo Sha didn't dare to respond to the question.

This war relied on the joint attack of Iwagakure and Kumogakure to achieve a balance of power in the battle with Konoha. If Sunagakure and Konoha went to war alone...

Luo Sha glanced at the remaining two parties. Lei Ying crossed his arms and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without saying a word. The Tsuchikage looked slightly dissatisfied, but had no intention of refusing. Luo Sha secretly thought it was not good.

At this time, Konoha is aggressive. As the shadow of a village, I cannot retreat. Do I really want to go to war with Konoha...

The atmosphere was at a stalemate for a moment, and a heavy cloud of war seemed to hang over Konoha and Sunagakure.

"Please don't be so violent. This is just a small conflict. As the five major ninja villages, we must set a good example for the ninja world. I don't think Mr. Kazekage and Mr. Acting Hokage want to see war. Restart!”

Yagura suddenly spoke, calmly comforting the two of them.

"What the Mizukage said makes sense, I was just speaking out of turn. As a Great Ninja Village, we shouldn't start wars at will."

Luo Sha walked down the steps and breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a look of poverty on her face.

"I'm just a little impatient. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Danzo regained his good-natured smile, but no one thought he was easy to get along with anymore.

"To express our apology, we are willing to make a small statement. We Konoha are willing to return the mission quota ceded by Sunagakure in the failure of the last war."

"That's good!"

Luo Sha's face softened. The compensation for the last war had been removed. After all, he had an explanation for the village.

"As for Iwagakure's monetary compensation, please rest assured, Lord Tsuchikage, the amount will not be small."

Danzo spoke again to reassure the Tsuchikage.

"Okay, I won't be as impatient as young people."

Onoki's expression also softened slightly, and he secretly provoked Feng Ying.

The main purpose of this war is to consume Konoha's power, that is, to spend some money with the "Akatsuki" organization. Now that Konoha is willing to make up for this loss, it is not a bad idea.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Danzo began to speak again.

"I hope to create a harmonious ninja environment, which requires the joint efforts of everyone present..."

-

The Five Shadows Conference came to an end unknowingly, and several shadows dispersed back to the village.

"Your Majesty is really good at it!"

Yagura was somewhat impressed and prepared to talk to Danzo about the next alliance.

"No matter what, I also want to thank Mr. Mizukage for your help."

Danzo's face was friendly, without any of the gloomy look he had when he threatened Kazekage before.

"I only paid for the name of the No. 1 Ninja Village, monetary compensation, and the mission quota obtained from the last victory, and this war was settled. And I think the scroll you got, it should be..."

"Yes, it is the body of our Third Hokage."

Danzo said calmly, this was exactly the condition that Konoha had negotiated with Kumogakure before.

"I am really impressed. When can our two villages form an alliance?"

Yagura is also very satisfied with this future collaborator. Konoha will be able to serve as a shield for Kirigakure and create conditions for Kirigakure's recovery.

"This day is not far away. When I become Hokage, I will form an alliance with your village!"
