Naruto: I didn't say this is the real Hokage.

"We would also like to thank you for helping us fight off the Hidden Cloud Village today."

Naruto: (ー_ー)!!

"Mr. Mifune, you can just call me Naruto."

When Naruto is out and about, age has always been a drawback.

Especially at a time like this...

Your Excellency is Your Excellency, why do you have to add the word "Xiao" in front of it? !

If you really don't know how to address me, can't you ask in advance?

Resisting the urge to overturn the table, Naruto took the tea handed to him by Mifune with both hands, put it to his lips and took a sip.

After being busy for so long, Naruto did feel a little thirsty.

"I just happened to be there today, Mr. Mifune, don't mind...

But please forgive me for one thing.”

Hearing this, a gleam of light suddenly flashed across Mifune's lowered eyes.

He had long guessed that Naruto's late night visit was not just to chat with him, and sure enough...

"…But it's okay to talk about it."

“Although the Hidden Cloud Village launched a large-scale attack on your country today, they were repelled by me and my companions due to some strange circumstances;

But when we leave, the Hidden Cloud Village will attack your country again...Does your country really have the confidence to stop them?"

Although his words were rough, they made sense. Naruto's words hit the point that Mifune was most worried about.

Although the Iron Country also has its own armed forces, compared with the former guardians of the Lightning Country - the group of reckless men in the Hidden Cloud Village...

To be honest, even Mifune himself didn't have much confidence.

However, as a permanent neutral country in the ninja world, Mifune believes that the Iron Kingdom still has an advantage that other countries cannot match.

"Don't worry about that, sir. I will seek help from the other four great ninja villages.

I believe that the four great ninja villages will not sit idly by and watch the Hidden Cloud Village wreak havoc on the Iron Country. After all... the agreement to never invade the Iron Country was signed by the five great nations!"

Naruto: →_→……

"Mr. Mifune, are you sure?"

"Yes, I am very sure!"

Mifune answered with certainty, but Naruto really didn't know where his confidence came from.

"Before the Hidden Cloud Village attacked your country... Mr. Mifune didn't ask for help from the other four major ninja villages?"

Mifune: (ー_ー)!!

In fact, as early as when he discovered that the Hidden Cloud Village was aggressively attacking the Iron Kingdom, Mifune had already sent a letter asking for help to the other four major ninja villages.

however……

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Mifune should have sent letters for help to the other four major ninja villages a long time ago...but did they come in the end?"

In fact, Naruto was not guessing, because the letter that Mifune sent to the four major ninja villages was lying intact in his arms at this moment, and even the sealing wax on the envelope had not been opened.

Well... this was voluntarily handed over by the four major ninja villages after receiving the letter. Naruto definitely did not force them.

"..."

"And Mr. Mifune, do you really think... that the four great ninja villages will go to war with a bunch of crazy people who have lost their homes for the Iron Country?"

"..."

"As for the agreement you mentioned between the five great nations not to invade the Iron Country... can a piece of waste paper really be so convincing?"

"..."

Naruto's series of questions had already left Mifune speechless.

If Mifune could still use that damn "Never Invade the Iron Country Agreement" to deceive himself when the four major ninja villages failed to send ninjas to rescue in time;

So now... Naruto has ruthlessly torn apart the last fig leaf of the Iron Country.

[Yes, if the four major ninja villages really wanted to save the Iron Country, then their people should have arrived long ago...]

Mifune suddenly felt a sense of loss, followed by deep despair.

“So Mr. Mifune should understand, right?

The current situation is that no one can save the Iron Kingdom."

"..."

"But I can, or rather... our Akatsuki organization can!"

Mifune: (ー_ー)!!

Naruto's words were like a ray of light in the darkness, injecting a shot of adrenaline into Mifune's desperate heart.

"What do you mean, sir?!"

"Mr. Mifune should know why those reckless men in the Hidden Cloud Village have fallen into such a miserable state today. At the same time, you have also seen our strength today...

I can save your lives from the people in the Hidden Cloud Village, but the prerequisite is that you must lead the citizens of your country to leave their homeland and join our village. "

Upon hearing this, Mifune's first reaction was that Naruto was joking with him.

It is undeniable that the Akatsuki organization behind the Hidden Rain Village is indeed powerful, and it can even force the Hidden Cloud Village to abandon its homeland and attack the Iron Kingdom...

But just based on this one sentence, they want the people of a country to condescend to join a small ninja village... Are you kidding?!

After feeling a little absurd, Mifune couldn't help but ponder the feasibility of Naruto's plan, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt...

【……wrong!

This is no joke... This may be the only hope for our Iron Nation. 】

It is undeniable that Mifune was moved.

But such an unprecedented thing as the merging of the entire country into a small ninja village was not something he could decide on his own.

Mifune felt that he might need some time to communicate properly with the top leaders of the Iron Kingdom.

So Mifune raised his eyes and looked at Naruto, and at this moment Naruto seemed to have noticed his thoughts.

The next moment, Naruto was heard speaking.

"Mr. Mifune, you don't have to rush to give me an answer now. I will give your country three days to consider.

If the Hidden Cloud Village launches an attack on your country within these three days, our Akatsuki organization will stop it.

As for three days later...I believe your country will make the right decision that will benefit both you and me."

After saying that, without waiting for Mifune to reply, Naruto slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

“Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. Mifune’s tea is indeed very good.

Well... I'm looking forward to seeing you again in three days. Goodbye."

"Wait……"

In a flash of golden light, Naruto's figure disappeared directly from his seat.

Mifune: (ー_ー)!!

Just leave without giving this old man any respect?!

I really don't know whether to say that this young leader of the Akatsuki organization is decisive and efficient?

still is……

"Next time we meet, I will give this kid a warning - young people should not be too impetuous."

Mifune pressed his swollen temples, stood up and walked slowly towards the study.

People of his age already have trouble sleeping, and after being affected by what Naruto just said...

"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight, alas..."

He had to think carefully about how to tell this matter to other senior officials of the Iron Kingdom tomorrow.

To merge a country into a village... is really outrageous!
