Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

This sparring was just a trivial matter. The two people sparring were not injured. They were just consumed a lot and did not delay their schedule. On the third day after entering the Kingdom of Iron, Senju Hashirama and his party finally arrived at the meeting location.

"Well, is this the meeting place? It's really disappointing." Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the huge stone house road in the distance. This was not a densely populated area, but it seemed very deserted. There were only tents around. Most of them were warriors in armor walking around.

"After all, holding the Five Shadows Conference is just a place borrowed from the Kingdom of Iron. It only needs to be safe and quiet enough, so it is set up here." Uchiha Mirror said in Kurosaki Ichigo's ear.

Kurosaki Ichigo curled his lips and said nothing more. At this time, a group of five samurai came up. Takayama Morigen stepped forward and talked with the leading samurai for a moment, then turned back and pointed at the samurai to Senju Hashirama. Said: "Lord Hokage, General Musashi has a new mission. I need to leave for a while, so I will let Katayama take you there. Please forgive me."

Senju Hashirama waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, you are the masters and we are the guests, so naturally we have to listen to you."

Takayama Moriyuan nodded, then gave instructions to Katayama behind him, and then led his men to leave in a hurry.

"Hokage-sama, please come with me." Katayama bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation to Senju Hashirama.

Following Katayama's footsteps, Senju Hashirama and his group approached the stone house in the distance. Looking inside from the window, they could see that there were already many people sitting in the house, about 40 people.

Katayama opened the door for Senju Hashirama, and people filed in. The samurai closed the door from the outside and left. Now there were ninjas inside, and the samurai did not need to get involved.

Entering the stone house, Kurosaki Ichigo immediately saw the stone round table in the center. Four people were sitting at a round table. There were bamboo hats on the table in front of them. At the same time, there was a man standing behind him. The subordinates and others were sitting cross-legged on the ground around the round table. There was an open space around the round table that seemed to be reserved for Konoha's group.

"Long time no see, Naruto." The first person to speak was a dark-skinned middle-aged man sitting at the round table. He looked to be in his 40s. Under the cover of a black robe, his figure did not appear to be very strong.

Senju Hashirama took a step forward and laughed loudly at the black man: "I feel the same, Raikage."

"Who is he? This is the first time I have seen someone with such dark skin." Kurosaki Ichigo asked, patting Uchiha Mirror's shoulder and pointing at the Raikage and the sturdy man standing behind him.

Uchiha Jing glanced over there, and then whispered: "That is Lord Raikage Ai of Yunyin Village. He is from the Yeyue clan. Their Yeyue clan is naturally very dark-skinned, but don't look at that Lord Ai. He looks very kind, but he is a tough martial artist, and Kumogakure is also the strongest village outside of Konoha."

"It's better not to show your smile, otherwise it will be easy for people to feel that you are in danger, Hokage." The white-haired old man in white said coldly. There was a scar on his face that extended from the right forehead to the chin and the left side. The scar on the eye gives people a vicious and ferocious look.

"You are still so suspicious, Bai Lian." Standing behind the old man in black, the middle-aged man in black, wrapped in a bandage with only his eyes exposed, said calmly with his hands on his shoulders.

"You really dare to say that, Wu" Bai Lian slammed the table angrily and glared at Wu.

Wu turned away his eyes, not because of fear, but because of disdain. Bai Lian's expression changed and just when he was about to say something more, the old man in black said: "Shui Ying, calm down, Wu is a young man after all, you have to be considerate. one time."

The rest of the entourage stopped just over ten meters away from the round table and sat on the open space left by ninjas from other countries. Senju Hashirama, accompanied by Senju Tobirama, walked to the round table and sat down.

Ichigo Kurosaki poked the Uchiha mirror and asked, "Is that Byakuren the Mizukage? It seems like there is something going on between him and that bandaged ninja."

"The bandaged ninja is Ninja Mu from Iwagakure Village. He has a high reputation in Iwagakure Village. Not only the Mizukage, but also the Kazekage also has a lot of grudges with him." Uchiha Kagami said softly.

"What grudge?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked with interest.

"Before the Ninja Village was established, the lonely ninja who mastered the Dust Release was a famous assassin. He once assassinated the Kazekage and Mizukage. Although he failed in the end, he escaped in the end. This incident was revealed by the Kazekage. and the Mizukage regard it as a shame."

"So powerful," Kurosaki Ichigo smacked his tongue. Although the other four shadows were far behind Senju Hashirama, their strength was definitely not inferior to Senju Tobirama. Unexpectedly, he was able to escape despite being able to assassinate two shadows.

Uchiha Jing nodded and said: "This is natural, but Wu also suffered a loss in the Kingdom of Water. In the battle with the ghost lamp clan, Ghost Lantern, Wu's skin was burned by the steaming explosion of Ghost Lantern, so that's why Wrapped in bandages.”

"Do you want to protect this guy?" Mizukage Bailian said angrily.

"You guys are really verbose," the serious-looking man in white said coldly. His chin was wrapped in a black tights and his arms were propped on the table.

"That is Kazekage Reito, and he is also a hard-liner. Almost the entire country of Wind is desert, so the ninjas there are a group of guys who are not afraid of death." Before Kurosaki Ichigo could ask, Uchiha Jing took the initiative to explain to him, "Liedou is the most philistine and cunning among the Five Shadows. He was the most troublesome guy in the previous peace talks. It can be said that the reason why the last peace talks were not completely settled was because of him."

"Ha, speaking of which, you are the most wordy, right? Lie Dou's previous peace talks were not completely settled because your conditions were too excessive," Bai Lian said with a sneer.

Liedou's expression changed and he said loudly: "It's too much. Our country is full of deserts, with almost no production capacity and no suitable price. How are the people going to survive after the peace talks?"

"Do you think you are the only country with a bad environment in the Kingdom of Wind?" At this time, Tsuchikage Shihe said sarcastically, "Most of our country in the Kingdom of Wind is made up of desolate rock walls."

"So we have already made a concession and only asked for one tail. Isn't that enough?" Liedou looked directly into Shi He's eyes.

"But your Sunagakure Village demands too much," Raikage Ai couldn't help but say, "Originally, completely waiving the cost of purchasing one tail beast is already a discount for you, but you actually want us Three Kingdoms to purchase tailed beasts [-]% of the fee, let alone asking Konoha to cede land to you is too much."

"So what? We only have one tail. We will not take any advantage in the confrontation with the four major powers. We must receive sufficient compensation, otherwise we will not sign the peace agreement." Liedou did not give in.

"You always emphasize that Sunagakure Village only needs one tailed beast, but you seem to have forgotten that there is only one tailed beast left in Konoha." Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes and said.

"But what you left behind in Konoha is the Nine-Tails. I don't need to explain the difference between the One-Tails and the Nine-Tails." Lieto knocked on the table and then remembered something, "By the way, as far as I know You Konoha have mastered the perfect Jinchūriki sealing technique, I ask you to share this sealing technique."

Seeing Lie Dou's attitude of being indifferent to oil and salt, and a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Shi He, who had a deep hatred due to the proximity of the two countries, couldn't help but said angrily: "Lie Dou, do you really think that we can't do anything to you? If we are the four countries, If we join forces, let alone defeat, even the destruction of the Kingdom of Wind will be easy."

"Well, there are no people in the Kingdom of Wind who are afraid of death." Lie Dou snorted coldly, seemingly not taking Shi He's threat seriously at all, "And if the four of us unite to destroy the Kingdom of Earth, what we can get is comparable to The Kingdom of Destruction Wind must have a lot to gain.”

嘭

Just when Shi He was about to speak to refute Lie Du, the stone round table suddenly shook. Everyone looked around and found that Naruto Senju Hashirama was knocking his head on the table top.

"What are you doing, Naruto?" Ai asked quickly upon seeing this.

"Everyone, please listen to me." Senju Hashirama did not move, but said very seriously.

"So far, we really have too many things that we cannot do as we wish. The purpose of everything we do now is to protect our compatriots and tribesmen. There are times when people feel helpless."

Senju Tobirama sighed and looked at his eldest brother talking to himself, feeling a little helpless. He was always so naive that he wanted to use conversation and communication to resolve conflicts. This was what happened between the Uchiha clan and Uchiha Madara before. , it is still the case now, but although this approach is childish, seeing the slightly softened expressions of the other four shadows and my somewhat touched heart shows that this method is indeed effective.

"To be honest, even if the five-nation peace agreement can be successfully signed today, I really don't know how long everyone can abide by and maintain this agreement..."

This time, not only the four shadows and the subordinates behind them, but also the faces of the accompanying ninjas sitting around were moved, especially when these words came from the ninja god Senju who calmed down the troubled times and ignited the fire of peace in the world. It was especially shocking when it came out of Hashirama's mouth.

"But I dream that one day, in the not-too-distant future, we can abandon the boundaries between countries, work together, help each other, and work together as one."

Senju Hashirama closed his eyes, but in his heart he couldn't help but suddenly remembered the real dream that Uchiha Madara said when he broke up with Uchiha Madara. He didn't know what dream Uchiha Madara was pursuing, he only knew that he was now The peace that I pursue is the dream that I sincerely want to realize.

"This is what I'm after..."

"Dreams for the future"
