The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 377 The Kingdom of Iron

"Genji, newlywed, I'm so sorry that I dragged you to the Five Kages Conference."

At the gate of Konoha Village, Hanzo and Genji had just bid farewell to the villagers who sent them off, and were heading towards the Iron Country together.

More than half a month passed in a flash, and just a few days ago, Genji and Qianhui, the little lovers who had gone through untold hardships to get together, finally achieved a positive result.

Of course, the price is that Genji owes Hanzo a lot of money...

But putting aside the issue of money, Genji is generally very happy.

Unfortunately, within two days of being happy, the newly married Genji was dragged by Hanzo to attend the Five Kages Conference.

According to the agreement between Hanzo and the other Four Great Ninja Villages, each shadow can go with two guards.

In addition to Genji, Hanzo also brought Madara along.

There is no way, Hanzo himself wants to leave the village. If Madara is not taken away, he is really worried about leaving Hashirama and Madara in the village.

Therefore, Hanzo simply took Uchiha Madara with him. Firstly, Konoha’s deterrence at the meeting would be stronger, and secondly, it could also stabilize the situation inside the village.

Hanzo is still very relieved that Hashirama is in charge of the overall situation.

Hearing Hanzo's insincere apology, Genji suddenly felt black, but there was nothing he could do.

If Hanzo goes here, he has to bring a confidant, and Madara is naturally not a confidant, so he can only take Genji with him.

"Nu..." Genji breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "I'm not angry, I'm not angry, and when I get sick, there's no one to replace me..."

As for Madara beside him, he still had a Sima face, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.

That's right, after such a long time, Madara still has no intention of bowing his head, so the two are still in a cold war
But Hanzo didn't care too much.

Although the two have conflicts now, this conflict is not enough to make Uchiha Madara betray him, and from Hanzo's feeling, Madara is probably not so angry, but more like... Tsundere?
After Hanzo and Yuan talked for a few words, they also fell silent, and then the three of them stopped talking and started on their way wholeheartedly.

The location of the Five Kages Conference is located in the Iron Country.

This is not because of Hanzo's previous life memory, but because of practical reasons.

The Country of Iron is located in the north of Konoha, and it is also the northernmost point of the entire Ninja Continent. Therefore, this country is covered by wind and snow for a long period of time every year, and it can be called a place of bitter cold.

There is no oil or water, and this country's warrior group is unique in the mainland, which can be considered to have a certain strength, so a long time ago, the five major countries made an agreement not to attack the Iron Country, which can be regarded as a neutral position for the Iron Country.

Of course, at that time, the five major countries were still in the period of ninja melee, even if someone wanted to attack the country of iron, it would be more than enough.

And Hanzo proposed to hold the Five Kages Conference in the Iron Country this time, mainly because of the permanent neutral status of the Iron Country.

After all, this is the only permanent neutral country in the ninja world, which means that the country of iron has no political orientation.

The other small countries sandwiched between the five major countries basically have some political inclinations. For the shadows of other ninja villages, it is risky to come to this kind of place.

The kages of each ninja village are the backbone of each village, not to mention that the five kages are the first generation of each village, and they are the backbone of the backbone, so naturally it is most appropriate to hold the five kages conference in the iron country.

Now that it has entered November, even the relatively warm Land of Fire has officially entered winter.

The speed of the three of Hanzo is not too slow. As they gradually approach the north of the Fire Country, the surrounding air is getting colder and colder.

The three of them immediately put on the cloaks they had prepared earlier.

The sun gradually moved to the top of the head, and the three of them randomly found a village and town for a little repair, ate something, and continued on the road.

As we walked, snowflakes gradually floated in the sky.

"It's snowing?" Genji asked in surprise, looking at the snowflakes that kept falling.

The Land of Fire has a climate with four distinct seasons, and it often snows. However, where Konoha is located, it usually does not start snowing in November.

"This is already the northernmost part of the Land of Fire." Hanzo grabbed a snowflake and said with a smile, "Going forward, you will be in the Land of Iron. I'm afraid it will be even colder there."

Genji also nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Let's go, it's my first time to go to the Iron Country..."

"Who isn't?" Hanzo also laughed.

But just after he finished speaking, he remembered that it was probably not the first time Madara had come to the Iron Country.

About ten years ago, the Shimada clan and the Senju clan joined forces to defeat the coalition forces of the Uchiha clan and the Yuyi clan.

After that war, the Uchiha clan lost the mission entrustment of the Daming Mansion and cut off most of their sources of income. In order to prevent sitting on the mountain, the Uchiha clan began to develop business in the small country in the north of the Fire Country.

Small countries such as Taki no country and Tian no country have been influenced by the Uchiha clan.

Of course, the Uchiha clan also tried the same for the Iron Country.

However, the samurai group inside the Iron Country was quite strong. At that time, the Uchiha clan had already suffered heavy losses, so after some testing, the then patriarch Uchiha Tajima hesitated again and again, and gave up the Iron Country.

Thinking of this, Hanzo pursed his lips, and suddenly said to Madara who had been silent all this time: "Mara, you should have been to the Iron Country, right?"

Madara, who was silent at first, obviously didn't expect that Hanzo would suddenly break the ice. After a while, Uchiha Madara nodded slowly and said, "Yes, I have been here."

"Then tell us about the situation in the Iron Country. What is the relationship between their general and their daimyo?"

"..."

Madara didn't expect Hanzo to speak in such a tone as if nothing had happened.

"Well, it should be considered that he bowed to me first..." Madara reluctantly persuaded himself, and then said: "The name of Iron Country is just a decoration, and everything in their country is controlled by the leader of the samurai— —The general will deal with it, whether it is the people in their country or the warriors, they are all fans of the general."

"Then what is the strength of this general?" Genji couldn't help asking.

Madara glanced at Genji and said calmly, "About ten years ago, I went to the Iron Country with my father..."

Speaking of his deceased father, Madara paused subconsciously, and then slowly said: "At that time, the general of the Iron Country should be slightly weaker than my father."

"Slightly weaker than Uchiha Tajima?" Both Hanzo and Genji were taken aback.

Uchiha Tajima's strength, even in the present, is also an expert in the shadow class. Ten years ago, he could be compared with Uchiha Tajima. Obviously, the general of the Iron Country should not be underestimated.

While the three were talking, the border of the Iron Country came into their sight.
