Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

Compared to the capital of the Fire Nation, the capital of the Iron Nation, with its developed commerce and trade, is just as prosperous. In fact, because it is a neutral country, its population once exceeded that of the Fire Nation during the Ninja World War.

We were also a little curious after entering Sakura Castle. After all, Minato and I seldom left Konoha, and most of the time we only traveled in the Ninja World when we were carrying out missions. After the Second Ninja World War began, it was even rarer to see such a prosperous city.

However, the Iron Country warriors led by Mifune, who mysteriously disappeared in the camp on the coast, had no intention of introducing the city to us, and instead hurriedly returned to the city lord's mansion.

As the absolute center of the Iron Kingdom, the castle lord's mansion in Sakura Castle covers a large area, but it is not magnificent and luxurious, but as simple and direct as a samurai.

Following Mifune and the others into the city lord's mansion, there was a wide training ground at the entrance. This was naturally indispensable for warriors who mainly trained their physical fitness and skills.

Further down is the meeting hall which is similar in layout to the Konoha Jonin meeting room. This is also where the policies and resolutions of the Iron Kingdom are decided.

As a senior elder of Konoha, Danzo was also invited to attend the samurai meeting that was about to begin. Minato, I, and a Root ninja could also attend.

Since Mifune had issued an order to summon the samurai with swords to discuss matters when he entered the city, it didn't take long for all the samurai in the city to gather in the meeting hall of the city lord's palace.

Although the strength of the Iron Country is not as strong as the five major ninja villages, it is still a strong existence in the ninja world, so there are many sword-carrying warriors who are comparable to the senior ninjas. In the end, there are about twenty people in the meeting hall.

Mifune nodded to Danzo and the others, and said, "The Lightning Country invaded our Iron Country because of some unfounded rumors. This is unacceptable, so we are determined to stop the enemy at the border."

Mifune paused and continued, "But today, when Konoha's Yunyu was observing the enemy with us, he discovered some new situations. Yunyu is a rising star of the Hyuga clan, and everyone should have heard of the ability of the Hyuga Byakugan."

"Through Yunyu's observation, we found that there were only a few hidden ninjas in the Cloud Ninja camp, and most of the Cloud Ninjas had already disappeared."

Mifune looked around at everyone in the meeting hall: "It is obvious that the Cloud Ninja may have sneaked into our Iron Country in batches. There are even Cloud Ninja ninjas in Sakura Castle and the Castle Lord's Mansion at this moment."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall. Originally, they were confronting the Cloud Ninja on the border coastline. Even if a small-scale scout conflict occurred, it did not necessarily mean that a war had broken out between the two countries.

However, if a large number of Cloud Ninjas really sneak into the Iron Kingdom, or even Sakura Castle, then even if the samurai are unwilling to go to war with the Lightning Kingdom, they cannot accept such a provocation.

Amid the public outrage, the samurai who had previously opposed Mifune's hostility towards the Land of Lightning could no longer tolerate the Cloud Ninja's unscrupulous provocation and requested Mifune to order a thorough investigation of the entire city.

"The Cloud Ninja claimed that they came for a gem that can suppress the changes in the nature of chakra, but we in the Iron Country have never heard of the whereabouts of this gem. If the Cloud Ninja's goal is really this, I'm afraid Sakura Castle and the Castle Lord's Mansion are also their targets."

"I ordered the gates to be sealed when I returned to Sakura Castle, but ordinary soldiers and samurai probably pose little threat to the elite Kumogakure ninjas. I still need you all to serve as the main force and search for the enemy in the city."

What Mifune said was right. For the Cloud Ninjas who were able to sneak into Sakura Castle silently from under the eyes of many Iron Country samurai at the front line of the confrontation between the two sides, their strength was probably at least special jonin and jonin, and there was even some elite jonin.

For a ninja at this level, the number of people is no longer the determining factor in victory or defeat, and one still needs ninjas and samurai of the same level to fight against him.

However, relatively speaking, the difference in attire and temperament between samurai and ninja is still very obvious. Moreover, as the base camp of the Iron Kingdom, Sakura Castle, with the samurai led by Mifune, has the home advantage and has a considerable advantage over the Cloud Ninjas in the dark.

Just as the resolution to search the entire city was passed in the council hall, there was a sound of fighting outside. Such a thing happening at this time made it hard not to think of the Cloud Ninja lurking in the city.

Perhaps both parties in the fight also knew that the City Lord's Mansion was full of experts and it was not a place that could be entered casually, so the sound gradually weakened as the two parties moved away from the City Lord's Mansion.

As the leader of the Iron Country, Mifune would naturally not act rashly without knowing the situation clearly, so he signaled to Oshisuke who was standing beside him. After receiving Mifune's instructions, Oshisuke went out with a sword in his hand and chased in the direction where the voice went away.

The people in the hall, who had reached a consensus and understood the situation, went out at Mifune's signal and conducted searches in the designated areas, making sure to find and drive away the Cloud Ninja who had sneaked into the city.
