I established the Kua Kua Cult in Naruto

Chapter 132 It doesn’t matter who you are, it’s who you are in the eyes of others that matters

The Kingdom of Iron, the capital, is covered with ice and snow. The eaves, roads, and crowns of vegetation are all covered with snow. Even the shoulders and heads of pedestrians have a lot of snow falling on them.

Outside a palace, a total of five people, three adults and two children, were waiting outside the gate. Tatsuma raised his hand to sweep the snow from his hair, rubbed his hands vigorously, and said with emotion: "It's really cold here, why do you have to wear a dress?" Woolen cloth?"

At this time, the five of them were all wearing complicated kimonos. The materials of the clothes were very solid, but in this ice and snow, they still could not withstand the erosion of the wind and snow. Minato beside him nodded involuntarily.

Tsunade and the other three looked much better, except for Orochimaru, who looked as pale as death at any moment, but the three of them did not tremble or complain.

Only Jiraiya, who was wearing a smaller kimono, would grab his crotch and lift his pants from time to time.

When Tsunade heard her disciple's complaint, she turned around and pointed to the double-sided cross symbol on her clothes and said, "Of course it's to reveal the Senju of the Forest."

Senju of the Forest is another name for the Senju Clan, and the emblem of the Senju Clan has a much longer history than Konoha today. In addition, the deeds of Senju Hashirama back then made the Senju Clan even more famous. Far and wide the ninja world.

Although the Senju Clan no longer exists, or even if the Senju Clan still exists, it is only a part of Konoha Village. In diplomatic situations, it is still necessary to use Konoha and the Land of Fire to deal with the outside world.

But in terms of people or individuals in a diplomatic environment, the weight of the Senju clan is undoubtedly greater, especially when Tsunade puts on this outfit. After all, she is the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama. After putting on this outfit, any Everyone should give her three points.

Before setting off, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked them to wear formal attires with the Senju Clan's emblem. This was more or less to borrow the reputation of the First Hokage. Otherwise, how could they not get these formal attires?

At this time, a samurai wearing full body armor also walked out of the gate, handed a document back to Tsunade, and said respectfully: "Tsunade-hime, and all my lords, please come in."

Tsunade was not as careless as usual at this time. Instead, she looked like Uzumaki Mito. She nodded, and followed the samurai into the palace without much swaying in the headdress.

Tatsuma looked at Jiraiya, who was grabbing his crotch again, and then at Minato, who was also a little reserved. He raised his eyebrows at him, and after attracting his attention, he looked at Orochimaru, who looked calm.

Minato understood instantly and nodded slightly, and then the two of them imitated Orochimaru's posture and movements, and walked in slowly. It must be said that in terms of elegance, Orochimaru won much more than Jiraiya.

Following Orochimaru's example, the two of them finally felt less out of place. Following the samurai around, they finally entered a hall with very few seats, only six.

A gray-haired middle-aged man sat on the main seat. The remaining five seats were undoubtedly reserved for the five Tsunade people. Apart from this, everyone else, whether wearing armor or not, were all standing.

Tsunade seemed very calm. After bowing, she took her seat. Tatsuma also followed Orochimaru in bowing and then sat down. He kept looking around with his peripheral vision. Tatsuma commented on the palace's poor lighting.

In broad daylight, electric lights are still needed for lighting. The most important thing is that these lights are kerosene lamps. Electricity has been popular in Konoha for decades, and all kinds of household appliances are basically available. The Iron Country is still so primitive.

"Mifune-dono, do you know that the Kingdom of Rain has declared war on your country?"

While Tatsuma was still commenting on the infrastructure of the Iron Country, Tsunade and others had finished their pleasantries and started getting down to business. Hearing this, Mifune nodded and said, "I have heard a little bit."

Seeing the calmness on Mifune's face, or rather not taking it seriously, several members of the Konoha delegation frowned at the same time. Mifune's lack of concern for the Rain Country far exceeded their expectations.

Orochimaru said at this time: "Mifune-dono, if the Rain Kingdom insists on sending troops, I am afraid that the other countries will not be able to stop it. Moreover, Hanzo's move is also destroying the peaceful situation in the ninja world. I hope you will not take it lightly."

Hearing Orochimaru's somewhat impolite words, Mifune also frowned and said: "What does the battle of ninjas have to do with my samurai? If he dares to really attack our country of iron, then I will stop him."

If he is just bluffing and does not dare to set foot in the Iron Kingdom, then if I send troops in advance to actively fight him, I will lose my geographical advantage and secondly be suspected of invading other countries' territory. This is contrary to the consistent position of our Iron Kingdom. "

At this time, the Iron Country had not yet hung up its neutrality card, but people did not like to play with samurai. Not only now or Mifune's generation, but as early as the Warring States Period, people just stood firm.

The most important thing that the Iron Kingdom did for ninjas was not how many ninjas were killed, nor how many powerful ninjas were produced, but to prevent ninjas from appearing in the Iron Kingdom and avoid the decline of samurai in other countries.

On the way here, Orochimaru also told Tatsuma and others about the Iron Country's view of ninjas, that is, ninjas and ninja organizations are the root of trouble, especially in the past hundred years, ninjas are either at war or planning wars.

From the previous wars between clans to the current wars between countries, it was all ninjas who were engaged in it. It seemed that troublemaking was the ninja's first priority, which was very different from the samurai whose first priority was to protect the lord.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, the warriors of the Kingdom of Iron look down upon ninjas. Tatsuma's understanding is that the warriors of the Kingdom of Iron consider themselves to be duty-bound people and look down on ninjas who are speculating on side projects. molecular.

Orochimaru pursed his lips, changed his tone, and said: "Mifune-dono, with you and the samurai group under your command, the Kingdom of Iron can naturally maintain peace in the current war situation.

However, if the actions of the Kingdom of Rain are not stopped in time, once it annexes several surrounding countries and grows into a country that is comparable to the five major countries, then if Hanzo wants to launch a war on a larger scale, there will inevitably be more people. Being drawn into the war.

For the sake of peace in the ninja world, we in Konoha urgently hope that the Kingdom of Iron can send troops to join us in stopping Hanzo's war expansion ambitions. I hope Mifune-dono can still see our sincerity. "

"Sincerity?" Mifune sneered: "Sarutobi Hiruzen sent you three young men and two brats to talk to me about war. Is this also called sincerity?"

At this time, Jiraiya, who had disliked Mifune from the beginning, couldn't help but said: "Two brats? These are not just two brats!"

He looked at Minato and Tatsuma proudly, and was about to introduce them as his and Tsunade's disciples, the best among the next generation of Konoha, but he was secretly poked and punched by Tsunade.

Tsunade glared at Jiraiya, as if to warn him to shut up. After all, everyone was talking about the war. What did you mean, Jiraiya, by insisting on bringing the topic to the two children?

But Jiraiya's pause made Mifune a little confused. He began to look at Tatsuma and Minato. In fact, Mifune had not taken a closer look at the two of them since entering the door.

But after looking at it, Mifune frowned. Minato had blond hair and a smile like the warm sun, and Tatsuma had white hair and red eyes, and his eyes were full of deep thought and scrutiny.

"Is this your brother? Another grandson of Lord Senju Hashirama?"

Mifune pointed at Minato. After all, in Mifune's impression, Tsunade seemed to have a younger brother. Then he pointed his finger at Tatsuma and asked tentatively: "Could it be Senju Tobirama's?"

Tsunade was about to correct her, but Orochimaru gently raised his hand to stop her, and then gave Mifune a smile that he really understood. Mifune also had a look of realization on his face, and re-thought whether Konoha was sincere. .

Namikaze Minato:? ? ? Am I a substitute? No, am I a rope tree?

Sakamoto Tatsuma:? ? ? Who am I in Thousand Hands Tobirama? Make it clear, bastard!

Mifune looked down on ninjas, but he couldn't look down on Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama. The reputation of these brothers had broken away from the ranks of ninjas and became the pioneers and founders of a new era.

It is not sincere enough for Tsunade, a descendant of Senju Hashirama, to talk about war. Bringing two brats with her would be even more childish, but if these two brats are also direct descendants of Senju Hashirama or Senju Tobirama.

As for Orochimaru and Jiraiya, they are just two commoner disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen and cannot be on the stage.

If Mifune had previously thought that the mission sent by Konoha was composed of three young ninjas and two brats, and therefore felt that it was not sincere enough, then now it is led by three Senju descendants with the same status as Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya As an auxiliary mission.

After a short while of thinking, the faint impatience on Mifune's face disappeared, and with a calm smile, he said: "It's rare for you to come to the Kingdom of Iron, so why not stop for now.

It just so happens that tomorrow is the final of the Iron Kingdom's annual swordsmanship competition. With guests like you, the young warriors of the Iron Kingdom will compete with more enthusiasm. "

Hearing Mifune's words, Tsunade frowned. It didn't matter if she didn't send troops immediately, but she was still in the mood to hold a swordsmanship competition and let them stay as guests?

"Mifune-dono, we are not here this time."

As soon as Tsunade opened her mouth, Mifune raised her hand and said, "I know your purpose of coming, and there is no need to repeat it. It's just that the matter is serious and I can't just agree or reject you.

You have come all the way, and we, the Kingdom of Iron, cannot let you just wait like this. The Swordsmanship Competition is in our Kingdom of Iron, but it is a more important selection competition than the Chunin Examination in your Ninja Village. By watching the battle, you can better understand our Iron Kingdom. The strength of the country’s warriors.

If the talks go well, you and I will reach an alliance to jointly restrict the Kingdom of Rain, and we will have a better understanding of the strength of the Kingdom of Iron, which will also be conducive to cooperation, right? "

Seeing Mifune relent and give in, Tsunade didn't want to push further. She could only nodded and said, "Then I'll do your best to entertain you, Mifune-dono."

Hearing this, Mifune's calm smile returned to his face, he looked at Tatsuma and Minato and said: "The contestants in the swordsmanship competition are also young swordsmen in their teens. If you are elegant, you can also compete with each other. ,Improve relationship."

Tatsuma raised his eyebrows. Could it be that Mifune didn't know that the Senju Tobirama was the last glory of the Iron Country warriors? He, Tatsuma, was also the one who made his name as a Tobirama. It’s not too much to say that he was the last small glory of the Iron Country warriors, right?

What level of samurai can spar with him? !

"Okay, I have heard about the name of the Iron Kingdom's samurai for a long time. It would be an honor to meet them. However, Mifune-dono, please don't mind that the young samurai of the Iron Kingdom are not as good as our young ninjas from Konoha."

Hearing Tatsuma's words, Mifune was stunned for a moment, but the absolute confidence implicit in this calmness is worthy of His Excellency Senju Tobirama.

Minato raised his eyebrows at Tatsuma, and seemed to say to him in Tatsuma's tone: "As expected of you, Tatsuma, for declaring victory before fighting."

Tsunade covered her forehead and did not look at her disciple. This disciple's competitive spirit was too strong.

"What's your name?"

Mifune came back to his senses, looked at Tatsuma and asked. Tatsuma straightened his back and was about to answer, but received a look from Orochimaru. An idea flashed in his mind and he changed his words: "Ryoma."

Chen is a dragon. He says he is a dragon horse. Is there anything wrong with him? Tatsuma even wanted to add the title of Dragon-Slaying Samurai, but he was a ninja and was too embarrassed to add it.

"Ryoma. Okay, I'm looking forward to how you will defeat our young warrior from the Iron Country. If you can really do it, I can grant you a request."

Mifune waved his hand and said with a smile. He followed every swordsmanship competition, from the preliminaries to the semi-finals. The two remaining boys were great swordsmen, and they were both older than this kid. Big, Mifune is not guaranteed that they will lose.

As for giving a requirement to the final winner, he often does this, every year. Some of the final winners choose to become samurai of the party they serve, and some become his disciples. Mifune believes that this can encourage the underachievers to work hard. , and have always done so.

Tatsuma replied without hesitation at this time: "Then Mifune-dono will personally lead the army to fight against Hanzo, how about it?"

Hearing that the topic returned to the Land of Rain, Mifune was a little unhappy, but Orochimaru's eyes lit up slightly. A pedantic samurai like Mifune valued faith and commitment above all else.

Sure enough, although Mifune was unhappy, he said seriously: "If you can really do it, what if I personally lead the troops?"
