Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

Chapter 657 The Five Kage Meet
Iron country.

As a country that is relatively close to the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, and borders the Land of Fire, the Land of Taki, and the Land of Field, it should logically become a battlefield for several major ninja villages like the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain.

But many years ago.

The general of the Iron Country, through some unknown means, made an agreement with the neighboring countries to make the Iron Country a neutral country and not train any ninjas in the country.
In exchange for this condition, the ninjas agreed not to attack this country, thus avoiding several ninja wars.

"The warriors of the Iron Country do not possess chakra themselves, but they can concentrate the power on their hands and swords." Asuka recalled the information about the Iron Country and said with emotion, "Although those people cannot use chakra, they can use the chakra around them to create a sword technique similar to Iai."

After saying this, he raised his head and looked towards the silver-clad, crystal-clear world of ice and snow in the distance.

Konoha was still at the end of autumn at this time, but on the other side, the Iron Kingdom had already entered the cold winter. Looking at the thickness of the snow on the ground, it was obvious that it had experienced several winter snows.

"Crench!"

The clear sound of footsteps on the snow interrupted Fei Niao's thoughts.

He felt the soft snow under his feet, and a chill came through the soles of his shoes, causing him to curl up his toes involuntarily. He said, "I even went to the Iron Kingdom specifically to learn some swordsmanship."

After thinking for a moment, Senju Hashirama nodded and said, "The swordsmanship of the Iron Country is indeed very strong. I have encountered many powerful samurai in my time, some of whom can rival the elite jonin."

"Don't mention it!" Asuka said with a disappointed look on his face, "The swordsmanship of the Iron Country is not what I imagined. Their swordsmanship is just pure swordsmanship."

"Ah? What kind of swordsmanship do you want?" Hashirama rubbed his chin with one hand, somewhat puzzled.

"With one strike of the sword, I can cut off a river, or at least plow the ground five meters deep." Fei Niao gestured exaggeratedly, "If I can cut off a mountain with one strike of the sword, that would be even better."

Hashirama:? ? ?
After hearing this description, Hashirama was stunned for a moment, and the look he gave Asuka suddenly became strange.

If I remember correctly.
There is indeed such a sword technique in the ninja world that can cut off mountains and cut off rivers. He has even seen it himself and fought with the opponent for many years.

Noticing the sudden silence around him, Asuka stopped and looked over, just in time to see Hashirama Senju's thoughtful expression.

"Young Master Uchiha, I think I have seen the swordsmanship you are talking about!" Hashirama said in a deep voice after thinking for a moment.

Hearing this, Asuka's eyes widened instantly, a hint of surprise flashed across them, and he quickly asked, "Master Hashirama, I have searched the entire ninja world but couldn't find it. Where did you see this move? What is its name?"

"There probably isn't a name for the move." Hashirama muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a hint of thought.

Then, he picked up a piece of dead branch and smashed it hard against the stone on the ground. There was a "crack" sound, and a crack as thick as a thumb was left on the stone.

Fei Niao looked at the scene in bewilderment, not understanding why this guy was using branches to smash the rocks.

"That's about it!" Hashirama clapped his hands and said casually, "You can think of the tree branches as swords. As long as the force is strong enough, it is not impossible to cut off the mountain."

Hearing this, Fei Niao's eyes flashed with confusion, and he said subconsciously.

"Master Hashirama, isn't this just a hard hit?"

"Yeah, just smash it!" Hashirama blinked in confusion and said subconsciously, "As long as you have enough chakra and activate Susanoo, what kind of mountain can't be cut down?
When Madara activated the fourth stage of Susanoo, he could cut through the mountain you mentioned with a simple swing of his sword. "

"What a powerful flying brick!!" Asuka's mouth twitched slightly, and the scene of himself activating Susanoo and smashing the mountain with a green lightsaber instantly emerged in his mind.

So stupid!!

This is totally different from what I imagined!!

What he thought was that, in his current human form, he could chop the mountain in half by swinging a sword energy, instead of activating Susanoo which was the same size as the mountain and smashing the mountain in half with brute force.

"Lord Hashirama." Just when Asuka wanted to describe it in more detail, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly raised his head and looked forward.

After a while.

Several figures wearing silver-white armor and gas masks suddenly came into view.

They walked with steady steps, showing amazing coordination in the swing of their hands, and the swords on their waists flashed with cold light under the reflection of the white snow.

"The warriors of the Iron Country!" Asuka looked at the group of people who appeared and explained to the faintly excited Hashirama, "Although the Iron Country is a neutral country, in recent decades, due to the impact of the Ninja World War, the country's economy has been up and down.

There is no money to develop new armor. The armor they are wearing is still the same as the Warring States period, just painted a layer of paint."

"I thought it was a new technology." The expression on Hashirama's face became lost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the two were chatting, the team of warriors came closer.

The leading warrior carefully looked at Hashirama and Asuka and said in a deep voice, "The Iron Country welcomes the two masters of Konoha!!"

"Iron Country, welcome to the Hidden Leaf Village!!"

"Iron Country, welcome to the Hidden Cloud Village!!"

"Welcome, Iron Country."

On the streets of the Iron Country, bright red banners are hung on the store doors on both sides. Some of them are carefully made into eye-catching signs decorated with flashing light bulbs, adding a modern atmosphere to this ancient street.

At this moment, many indigenous people, wrapped in thick fur coats, gathered in front of Admiral Mifune's office building.

From time to time they blew air into their palms to warm up their frozen hands, then looked up and around, with excitement gleaming in their eyes, as they discussed enthusiastically.

"How many years has it been since our Iron Country has been so lively?"

"That's the Kage of the five great ninja villages! A great man who truly stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world."

"When I thought about meeting those important people next, I could actually feel a special sense of urgency in the air, which made me feel a little breathless."

"It's not that there's a sense of urgency in the air, it's that someone is pulling your neck, what are you doing!!"

Hearing this, the man suddenly turned around and glared at the person who was pulling his neck behind him.

After a verbal exchange, the two men soon started to wrestle with each other. The crowded crowd also silently took a small step back, leaving enough space for the two men.

After waiting for a long time, no one from the five major countries showed up. Everyone was in urgent need of some fun, otherwise they would all be frozen to death.

"Hey, hey, look at the sky, why are the snowflakes flying in circles?" A slightly confused male voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.

Everyone looked up.

The snowflakes falling in the sky seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. They suddenly changed their downward trajectory and began to rotate clockwise, eventually converging into a spectacular snowflake tornado.

next second.

Countless winds and sand mixed with snowflakes blew in all directions. Those onlookers were caught off guard and were blinded by the sand. They hurriedly rubbed their eyes with their hands.

"come yet?"

Someone rubbed his eyes and raised his head with difficulty, looking at the tornado formed by the interweaving of snowflakes and wind and sand, and said in a trembling voice, "The Hidden Sand Village!!"

As soon as the words fell, the tornado disappeared instantly, revealing two figures inside it.

One of them, wearing a black ninja uniform and a hat with the word "wind" engraved on it, is none other than the current leader of the Sand Village in the Land of Wind - the Fourth Kazekage Rasa!

boom! !

At this moment, a dazzling bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and accurately struck Luo Sha not far behind him. The ground seemed to have suffered a huge impact and began to shake violently.

When the vibration completely stopped, a sturdy man wearing a white cloak and a bamboo hat with the word "thunder" engraved on it slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

"The Hidden Cloud Village - the Fourth Raikage Ai!" A resident of the Iron Country quickly recognized the other party's identity and was about to exclaim when he was suddenly enveloped by a thick white mist. The mist spread quickly, covering half of the street in an instant, turning the surrounding area into a fairyland-like place.

However, this fog came quickly and went away quickly.

Before these people could figure out what was going on, the thick fog in front of them dissipated instantly, revealing the originally empty street.

But at this moment, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared out of nowhere on the street.

Everyone's eyes passed over the ordinary-looking man and focused on the plump woman next to him wearing a hat with the word "water" engraved on it.

"Is this the Shadow from the Hidden Mist Village?" A resident of the Land of Iron said with emotion, "As expected of a powerful Shadow, she is wearing a blue tube top dress in this icy and snowy place."

boom!
A deafening sound suddenly rang out, and the ground began to shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, a thick stone pillar slowly rose from the ground. Its height quickly increased and in the blink of an eye it surpassed all the surrounding buildings.

“What an exaggerated way to make an appearance!” The Fourth Raikage crossed his arms, looked up at the huge stone pillar, and sneered, “You old man who lacks height, so you make up for it with ninjutsu!!”

call out!
A short old man with a big nose in the middle of his face suddenly flew down from the top of the stone pillar.

He first glanced at the crowd, then looked at the Fourth Raikage in front of him, and said slowly in an old voice, "You lack brains, but you make up for it with brawn, you big fool from Kumogakure!"

Boom boom! !
Before he finished his words, two terrifying chakras suddenly erupted, instantly sweeping around, making everyone present feel a heavy sense of suffocation, as if the air had been sucked out and they were unable to breathe.

"Tsk tsk!!"

Suddenly, a series of clicking sounds were heard in the air, instantly breaking the extremely tense atmosphere.

Everyone followed the sound.

Then two tall figures appeared on the street.

One of them was wearing red armor, a hat with the word "fire" on it, and a pattern similar to a "tree branch" printed on his shoulder; the other was wearing a simple gray robe, and a pattern similar to a "round fan" was also printed on his shoulder.

"The emblem of the Senju clan, the emblem of the Uchiha clan!" The discerning residents of the Iron Country instantly widened their eyes and exclaimed in a low voice, "The two founding families of Konoha."

"Look at that man, he's wearing the Hokage's hat. Could it be that the new Hokage of Konoha is from the Senju clan?" another resident said in shock after seeing the hat on Hashirama's head.

"Idiot, it's been rumored in the ninja world for a long time that Senju Hashirama has been resurrected. This person is most likely Senju Hashirama!!" The person watching the fun glared at him and explained.

When Ohnoki saw the man in red armor, he subconsciously took a step back, his eyes full of horror.

"Senju Hashirama is really alive"

"Oh, there's nothing to be afraid of!" The Fourth Raikage came over, looked up and down at Hashirama Senju, and said with narrowed eyes, "Oonoki, feel his strength carefully, it's just this level!"

“So cool!!”

Mei Terumi also came over at this time, her beautiful eyes kept looking at the two, and said with a smile, "The Senju and Uchiha are really as the legend says, they are full of handsome guys."

Luo Sha also walked over with an expressionless face, standing side by side with the other three "shadows", his eyes fixed on the two people opposite him.

Although no one released chakra at this time, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Feeling the suffocating feeling in the venue, Asuka slowly took a step forward and stood in front of Hashirama Senju. His dark pupils instantly turned scarlet, and the three black magatama spun at high speed, eventually forming a strange and frightening pattern.

At the same time, a terrifying chakra slowly surged in Fei Niao's body, gradually overflowed from the body and permeated the air.

Snapped!
Hashirama's big hand landed steadily on Asuka's shoulder. He slightly turned sideways, leaned his head out, and his eyes fell on the old man opposite. A hint of doubt appeared on his face, "Oonoki?"

Upon hearing this, Ōnoki suddenly straightened his body, but then a crisp "crack" sound came from his waist. The severe pain made him gasp and he responded in pain.

"It is I, your grandfather, the First-Daime Tsuchikage Ishikawa!!"

"Oh~"

Hashirama slammed his right fist on his left palm, and suddenly realized, "You are a kid from the Two Libras Clan. I remember you. Later, you and Wu (the Second Generation) came to Konoha together."

"Yes, Master Hashirama's memory is still as good as ever." Ohnoki put one hand on his waist and said painfully, "We had just signed the contract when we met Uchiha Madara."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hashirama was speechless.

His arms hung limply in front of him, his eyes staring blankly ahead, his face full of disappointment and apology, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect Madara to make that decision."

"Lord Hashirama, you apologized more than 50 years ago!" Oonoki replied with a sigh and twitched his mouth.

"Really?" Hashirama scratched his head and suddenly laughed awkwardly, "Hahaha, that's okay. I'll apologize once again today to deepen your impression."

"The God of Ninja is a little different from what I imagined." A drop of cold sweat slid down Terumi Mei's cheek. There was a bit of confusion and helplessness in her eyes as she looked towards the Shogun Hokage.

At the same time, she heard a "crack" sound in her heart, and the Senju Hashirama that she had been fantasizing about for a long time suddenly shattered.

"Yo!"

Senju Hashirama waved his hand towards the Fourth Mizukage and said in surprise, "You are the Fifth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village? You have such a strong chakra in your body, amazing, amazing."

Mei Terumi was slightly stunned, then a smile broke out on her face and she nodded to Hashirama Senju with a little embarrassment.

Although she was puzzled by Ohnoki's reaction, she changed her mind and thought that since the shrewd old man was so polite to Senju Hashirama, it would always be right for her to be polite too.

"Senju Hashirama!"

Ohnoki looked at the grinning middle-aged man, and a bit of complexity suddenly appeared on his old face.

It is indeed as the Raikage said, because of the Impure World Reincarnation, Hashirama Senju's strength has declined a lot compared to before. It can even be said that he is the last one among the "Kage" of the five major ninja villages.

but.
When he was at the peak of his power.
Senju Hashirama did the same, calling him "the boy from the Two Libra Clan" enthusiastically.

What moved Ohnoki even more was that after he was injured by Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama actually went to visit him in person, and on behalf of Konoha, he also expressed sincere apologies to Ohnoki on behalf of Uchiha Madara.

At that time, he was the undisputed number one in the ninja world, but he bowed his noble head to himself, a Chunin.

Until now, he still remembers what his grandfather and teacher said at that time.

"Ohnoki, the peace we have now has a time limit, which is Hashirama's life span. The moment he dies, the Ninja World War will begin."

Recalling the scene at that time, his eyes fell on the Shodaime Hokage again and he muttered to himself.

"The Ninja World War was launched for the benefit of the village. The war against Konoha was also for the benefit of the village. Participating in the Five Kage Summit was also for the benefit of the village."

Today was a perfect opportunity to show Konoha's power, and also a perfect opportunity to fight for the right to speak in the Five Kage Council.

However, when faced with Hashirama Senju, who longed for peace in the ninja world and even came to apologize in person, Ohnoki found that he could not do such a thing anyway.
"He was the strongest man in the ninja world in the past, but he treated me with such sincerity."

"Now, even though my strength has surpassed his, I am still thinking of giving him a warning?"

"."

Ohnoki shook his head, shaking off the complicated thoughts in his mind, and then his eyes fell on these "shadows", and he said to himself, "Senju Hashirama seems to have an irresistible power.

This power always makes people unconsciously want to stand by his side and fight alongside him."

At this point, he glanced at the Fourth Raikage and the Fourth Kazekage intentionally or unintentionally, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If the other party had not died young, when I became the Third Tsuchikage, I might really form an alliance with Konoha to destroy the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village together and maintain peace in the ninja world."
