A foreigner's journey

The Five Shadows Talks are held when conflicts arise between countries or when major decisions are made.

From the establishment of major ninja villages to now, a total of three Five Kage Talks have been held, and this is the fourth time.

As the leader and face of the Ninja Village, [Kage] will naturally not go to other Ninja Villages to participate in the Five Kage Talks. In fact, except for the first Five Kage Talks, the other two meetings were held in neutral countries. This time is no exception, and we chose the powerful neutral country [Iron Country] recognized by all countries.

The Land of Iron is a cold country covered by wind and snow all day long. The ninjas made an agreement a long time ago not to attack this country, so the Iron Country avoided several ninja wars and became stronger by relying on unique forging technology and weapon exports.

There are no ninjas in this country, but are guarded by fighting groups called 'Samurai'. All in all, the Iron Country is a neutral country with independent culture, independent authority, and independent combat power.

The snow is falling heavily, and from a distance you can see three strange-shaped mountains. The mountains look like wolves with wide mouths, facing north, southeast, and southwest respectively.

It is the capital of the Kingdom of Iron known as [Three Wolf Mountains].

There is a prosperous town at the top of the Langshou Mountain on the north side. At the top of the town, which is the nose of the North Langshou, there is a depression surrounded by thick city walls more than ten meters high. In the center is a magnificent giant. Pyramid-shaped building——[Sword Hill].

In front of the main entrance of Jianqiu, a tall old man with a bandage on his head and a serious face and two accompanying warriors were welcoming the distinguished guests.

The old man's voice was calm and powerful, and it was not obvious that he was over sixty years old: "Lord Raikage, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am the general of the Iron Country, named Mifune."

Opposite him was a thin, brown-haired young man about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was wearing a Raikage white robe and a Raikage hat slung on his back. He had a lot of freckles on his face and was ordinary-looking. He wore a pair of highly myopic glasses on the bridge of his nose. He had a few sparse beards on both sides of his lips and on his lower jaw. His eye sockets were deep and had light rays. with dark circles under his eyes and a careless smile on his face:

"No need to be so polite, Admiral Mifune, I am the Fifth Raikage, you can call me [Quantero]"

Behind him stood two guards, one male and one female.

The female guard is a tall blonde beauty with fair skin. Even though she is wrapped in a thick cloak, she can still see that her figure is extremely proud, but at this moment, her pretty face is frosty and she looks like she should not be approached by strangers.

The male guard was an unusually tall and strong middle-aged man. His short, light blond hair was combed back into a slicked back, and his strong muscles stretched his cloak tightly.

It is worth noting that both guards have strange-looking metal collars around their necks.

Seeing the male guard, Mifune frowned: "If I admit it correctly, this is... the fourth generation Raikage, Lord [Ai]?"

"Oh, it's the former Raikage. Some time ago, the Yondaime Raikage-sama thought that he was not strong enough to lead Kumogakure to the top of glory, so he gave up the position of Raikage to me, Quantero of the Yozuki clan."

Quintero spread his hands with an unpleasant smile:

"The former Raikage-sama is particularly concerned about me, a junior, and specifically requested that he come with me as the Raikage's guard to attend this meeting of the Five Kages. Isn't that right, former, Ren, Raikage?"

As he spoke, he raised his fingers and tapped the metal collar around the fourth generation Raikage's neck gently, making a strange dull sound.

The Yondaime Raikage gritted his teeth and his temples bulged several times, and veins popped up on his forehead, as if he was trying his best to endure something. After two seconds of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Yes, Lord the Fifth Raikage."

The blonde beauty beside her couldn't bear to close her eyes, her eyes red.

Quintero smiled playfully and raised his finger to hook the blonde guard's chin, then turned to look at Mifune and said nonchalantly:

"It's too cold in this damn place. Is it your way of hospitality in the Iron Kingdom to let me, a thunder shadow from afar, stay outside and freeze?"

"...I'm sorry to say that I'm rude. Please come in with the Raikage-sama and the two guards."

Walking along the dark but wide corridor, the surrounding walls and ceilings were carved with ancient patterns. The Fifth Raikage Quantro walked beside the three ships and said in a long tone: "Ah——? That means I was the last one to arrive. Shadow?"

"Yes, Raikage-sama. The first one to arrive was Sunagakure Village, followed by Kirigakure Village. Iwagakure Village and Konoha Village arrived at almost the same time, and you were the last Kage to arrive."

Mifune said in a deep voice:

"But the arrival time of the Ninja Village leaders will not differ by one day, so you don't have to worry..."

Quintero's sneer interrupted Mifune's words unceremoniously: "When did I say that I was worried? That's nonsense. I thought I should come two days later to show off these country bumpkins who have never seen the world. .”

He didn't pay attention to the other Kages at all in his words. It seemed that in Quantro's view, these top experts at the pinnacle of the ninja world were just 'natives' who had never seen the true power.

Compared to the dissatisfaction of the two samurai beside him, Mifune was not angry. He just glanced at Quantro thoughtfully, and then said: "I have notified the other shadows. They have been guided to the meeting hall on the top floor by my subordinates. Please go this way."

"Hey, then lead the way."

Just as the Five Shadows Talks were about to begin, there was a lively scene on Tushu Street.

Tanshu Street is on the southwest border of the Fire Country. It is a town whose main businesses are tourism and casinos.

In the largest casino on Tanshu Street, many gamblers gathered together to create a lively atmosphere.

"Open! Open!"

"Hahaha, I won again!"

The gamblers passing by looked curiously at the crowded gambling table. They couldn't see what was going on inside even if they raised their toes, and they couldn't squeeze in. They happened to see a gambler squeeze out of the crowd with a glowing face. He quickly grabbed the gambler and asked, "Brother, what's going on inside? It's so lively!"

"Hey, there's a legendary big fat sheep inside." The gambler waved a thick wad of bills in his hand in a showy way: "You've made a lot of money!"

"Big fat sheep?"

"That's right, that big fat sheep that is ready to be slaughtered!" The gambler raised his chin toward the inside: "If that big fat sheep hadn't been drained dry, I would have played with her all day long. Well. Oops, there is some ambiguity in what I say... But it’s not bad, she is a rare beauty anyway."

On the gambling table in the middle of the crowd, the leader of the gambler was surrounded by chips and stacks of banknotes. He looked to the opposite side with a red face: "Big fat... uh, beauty, do you want to continue?"

Opposite the gambling table is a blonde beauty with an exaggerated figure. She has fair skin, delicate appearance and beautiful appearance. Her long blond hair is styled into a ponytail. There is a blue diamond mark between her eyebrows. She is wearing a kimono-like sleeveless top and seven Separate pants.

At this time, the 'Legendary Big Fat Sheep' had a displeased look on his face. He ignored the dissuasion of his black-haired female companion behind him and slapped his hand on the table, causing the huge thing in front of him to shake: "Stop talking nonsense! Does your casino have a loan business?" I want to borrow money!"

"Hey, borrowing money requires a certificate and a mortgage." The leading gambler glanced back and forth between the huge figure in front of the woman in front of him and her beautiful face with strange eyes: "Do you have anything that you can mortgage to us?"

The blond woman noticed the increasingly unruly looks from the gamblers around her, and she suddenly became angry. But before she could get mad, a loud noise suddenly came from behind her!

boom--! ! The casino door was blasted through! Even the nearest gamblers and thugs screamed and fell out, and nearby tables and chairs were smashed to pieces.

The gamblers gathered around were frightened and subconsciously scattered to the side. Only the blond woman turned her head and looked at the door, frowning slightly.

In the midst of the smoke, a huge figure three meters tall stood outside the door, and laughter like a dragon roared into the casino:

"Oh, cluck, cluck! I'll pay for the gambling money! In return, you have to go back with me, Tsunade-hime!"
