The insect farmer of Konoha who started as a spider

Iron country.

Its towering terrain brings massive mineral resources to the Iron Kingdom.

However, this also creates its climate characteristics of cold weather and year-round ice and snow.

"This place is far worse than the Country of Rain. It's so cold, how can the poor live?"

Yahiko, Nagato and Konan walked towards a majestic building built on the top of the mountain, grumbling non-stop.

The three of them lived a wandering and stealing life for a long time before they met Basheng.

If they were in an environment like the Iron Kingdom, they might have frozen to death.

"The Iron Country will not abandon any of its people. As long as they are willing to work, there will be enough coal to keep them warm."

In response to Yahiko's complaint, a middle-aged man wearing green samurai armor and a samurai sword slung around his waist emerged from behind a boulder.

"Ah ha ha."

When someone heard his complaint, Yahiko laughed awkwardly, and immediately walked up to the man as if nothing had happened, chatting familiarly.

"Your Excellency, you must be Mr. Mifune, the leader of the Iron Kingdom. To be able to govern the Iron Kingdom so stably, Mr. Mifune has worked hard and achieved great results. He is really a role model for us."

Yahiko skillfully stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Mifune, as if they were long-time friends.

"Yahiko-dono praised me highly. Compared to me, who was defeated by Hanzo, the three members of the Akatsuki organization are young heroes."

Mifune bent down, performed a samurai salute, and said solemnly.

Everyone said that Hanzo was old and frail, but little did they know that this kind of ninja's combat experience made him more and more demonic as he got older.

For being able to kill someone like Hanzo, he admired the three young men in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

"Hanzo, it's not so much that we defeated him, it's more that he chose to end his ninja career in a battle with all his strength."

Yahiko was also reminded of Hanzo by Mifune.

That was the most difficult battle the three of them in the Akatsuki organization had experienced.

Because of their master's pressure, the three of them exerted all their strength without any burden, even if they were injured.

Even so, Yahiko felt that Hanzo seemed to be holding back on them in the end.

This was a deep hole in his heart that he could never forget.

"Hanzo is also a man of faith. I lost to him in the Second Ninja War, but he let me go and personally helped me detoxify the Sansho Fish."

"He also said: A person's end is not death, but when he loses faith."

"While I hate him for slaughtering the Iron Kingdom's troops, I sometimes admire his heroic nature."

Mifune sighed, not belittling Hanzo too much just because he was an enemy.

"Is that so? Faith, he may have finally remembered it."

Yahiko seemed to be relieved by Mifune's explanation.

Hanzo may have been defeated by them due to lack of strength in the end, or he may have thought of the future of the Land of Rain and deliberately lost to them.

Who knows?

"Everyone has been tired during the journey, so please come with me to the mansion to rest. When all the representatives from various countries have arrived, we can discuss the time of the Seven Nations meeting."

Mifune suddenly realized that it was rude to stop the guests outside the house, so he immediately invited them into the mountaintop living room to rest.

"Oh, alright."

"Mr. Mifune, could you please tell me who is here now?"

Yahiko agreed, then quickly looked around, quietly pulling Mifune to ask for some information in a low voice.

Mifune already had a good impression of Yahiko and others who killed Hanzo, and since it was not sensitive information, he briefly told him.

"The first one to arrive is Konoha's Fourth Hokage. As the initiator of this meeting, he came to prepare the day before yesterday."

"The Queen of the Spider Kingdom is also here. In addition, the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure is also here."

"Mr. Tsuchikage Onoki has just sent a summons with the Ninja Eagle and will arrive in the afternoon."

"Now there is no news about Sunagakure and Kumogakure."

They just had a brief chat. As a neutral country trusted by the seven countries, Mifune did not want to stain the country because of his actions.

Yahiko understood in his heart and stopped asking questions. He led Nagato and the others to the summit hall with a samurai.

However, the situation in the living room seemed a little different from what he imagined.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on here?"

When he came to the living room and saw the heavy and strange atmosphere inside, Yahiko suddenly had a headache.

In the living room is a large round table.

Around this round table, there are a total of eight seats, including the neutral host country of Iron Kingdom.

Three of them have people sitting on them.

The Hokage of Konoha is a young man with a bright smile. Yahiko and the others received a warm welcome from each other as soon as they entered.

Yahiko had a good impression of Minato.

But what happened to the Queen of the Spider Kingdom and Mizukage of Kirigakure?

The two people were sitting on two chairs facing each other, seemingly playing with the snails in their hands unintentionally.

But when their eyes met, Yahiko could clearly see a flash of lightning, showing the burning heat in their eyes.

The atmosphere of the entire living room was suppressed by these two powerful women.

The snail they were playing with was recognized by Yahiko. It was a phone bug, and they also had it in their hands. It was given to them by Master Basei.

But isn’t this thing used for communication?

What does it mean to hold it in their hands like this and look like they want to dial the number but don't?

At Minato's invitation, a confused Yahiko sat at the bottom.

In this seven-nation meeting, the Kingdom of Rain should be the weakest, and he was wise enough not to do anything eye-catching like fighting for seats.

But as soon as Yahiko sat down, Konan suddenly stepped over him and placed her phone bug on the table in front of Yahiko.

It was also because of Konan's action that the Queen of the Spider Kingdom and the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village focused their attention on Konan at the same time.

+1 for the person with burning eyes in the drawing room.

Yahiko didn't understand it just now, but now Konan has joined this inexplicable invisible war.

Yahiko, who knew Konan exceptionally well, knew immediately that his romantic master must be the cause of the trouble!

In other words, this is a war that belongs to women!

Yahiko understands, but there are people here who don’t understand so well.

Minato rubbed his chin and looked at the scene in front of him with interest.

"What do you mean they all took out phone bugs?"

"Oh! I understand! Basio must have made an agreement with them. Those with phone bugs should be allies!"

Minato slapped his head.

Minato, who thought he had figured it out, immediately used the flying thunder god's space ninjutsu to take out ten phone bugs and lined them up neatly in front of him.

Since he was the initiator of the Seven Nations Conference, Minato also wanted to show off Konoha's cards.

His behavior really attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at him as if he was mentally retarded, and then they all put away the phone bug in unison.

It seems a bit embarrassing to do the same thing as this guy.

Minato was left alone, looking at the ten naive phone bugs in front of him with some confusion.
