Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

Unlike the five vast countries, the Iron Kingdom itself is not large in area and has a long and narrow terrain, so where we are currently is not far from the capital.

Mifune gave an order to Okisuke: "Pass the order down. Except for the samurai who stay here, everyone else should immediately disperse and return to the capital. Be careful to identify and defend in case the Kumo ninja causes damage in the capital."

"Yes, Lord Mifune." Oshisuke received the order and turned to convey it to the samurai. The samurai then ran towards the capital of the Iron Kingdom in twos and threes.

As Konoha ninjas who came to help, there was naturally no need for them to stay here any longer. However, as the capital was the heart of a country, Mifune could not let Konoha ninjas enter it at will. To be honest, there was probably not much difference between Konoha and Cloud Ninja in Mifune's mind.

"I would like to thank Konoha for its help this time. After the war, I will go to Konoha in person to express my gratitude. However, the situation in the capital is sensitive, and we are capable of handling it ourselves, so there is no need to trouble the Konoha ninja to go there." Mifune explained to Danzo.

However, Danzo will obviously not be willing to give up like this. The conflict with the Cloud Ninja is a great opportunity for him to increase his influence. I even suspect that Danzo's planning was indispensable in the conflict between the Iron Kingdom and the Lightning Kingdom.

"Konoha has always respected the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries, and naturally will not forcibly send ninjas into other countries." Danzo glanced at Minato and me, and said to Mifune.

"But the situation is unclear right now. After all, the strength of the Cloud Ninja should not be underestimated. Let me take the two children, Cloud Feather and Minato, and see if I can help in any way."

Without waiting for Mifune's response, Danzo called the Root Ninja behind him and said, "You and the Iron Country warriors who are staying here will stay here, and keep an eye on the Cloud Ninja Camp and whether the other Cloud Ninjas who have infiltrated the Iron Country have returned."

"Yes, Lord Danzo." The Root Ninja responded, and then scattered, hiding and lurking in various places, investigating and monitoring the Cloud Ninja who had just retreated from the coastline camp.

"Let's hurry back to the capital of the Land of Iron and resolve the threat from the Cloud Ninja as soon as possible." Danzo urged Mifune again.

If it was just Danzo and the three of us, Mifune couldn't continue to deny us entry into the Iron Kingdom capital: "Thank you for Konoha's help, let's go."

Mifune called out, and the samurai guards beside him followed him as they ran towards the capital. Danzo smiled slightly and followed closely behind with Minato and me.

As a neutral country without ninjas, the Iron Kingdom naturally has no ninja villages. Unlike other countries, it does not have two centers, the capital and the ninja village. The capital of the Iron Kingdom is the center and brain of the entire country.

Since the distance was not very far and everyone was a ninja and samurai with high physical skills, they arrived at the central capital from the northeastern coastal area in less than two hours.

The capital of the Land of Iron is a city called Sakura. For the ninja world with backward productivity, it is already a majestic city. Even compared with the Fire Capital of the Land of Fire, it is not inferior.

This is because the prosperous trade and high-quality weapons exports of the Iron Kingdom have made the Iron Kingdom increasingly powerful, and the existence of the samurai group guarantees the security of the Iron Kingdom, so the Iron Kingdom can also occupy a place in the conflicting ninja world.

When we arrived at Sakura Castle, the city gates were already closed and the entire city was under martial law. This was because the samurai who conveyed the order had returned to the city before us and had already begun the operation to screen out the Cloud Ninjas.

In fact, given the strength of ninjas and samurai, cities and city gates cannot play a big role in the battle between the two sides, but they still have some role in the investigation and detection process.

"Lord Mifune, there is no trace of the Cloud Ninja found in the city yet, and several key locations are still being checked." Seeing Mifune and us returning to Sakura Castle, the samurai on guard at the city gate immediately came to report.

Unlike other countries and ninja villages, the capitals of big countries like the Land of Fire are separated from the ninja villages. The daimyo in the capital is theoretically the highest leader of the country, and the Hokage and other Kage are only the village chiefs of the ninja villages. In name, they are still under the command of the daimyo, but because the ninja villages are too strong, they have always had an independent status.

However, for the Kingdom of Iron, there are no ninja villages or ninjas. The samurai group is both the ruling class of the country and the country's military force. Mifune, as the leader of the samurai, is also the supreme leader of the Kingdom of Iron.

That’s why Mifune was able to issue orders in Sakura Castle, the capital of the Iron Country, and said to the samurai at the gate: “Keep on guarding, and summon the samurai with swords to the castle lord’s mansion for a meeting.”

"Yes, Lord Mifune." The samurai at the city gate welcomed Mifune and a few of us into Sakura Castle, closed the city gate again, and carried out Mifune's orders.

A few of us followed Mifune and quickly walked towards the city lord's mansion. The so-called sword-bearing samurai is an honorary title, which is equivalent to the Jonin among ninjas. They can be regarded as the high-level officials of the Iron Kingdom. It is no exaggeration to say that these samurai can decide the direction and destiny of the Iron Kingdom.
