Chapter 216: Perfect Jinchūriki, Killer Bee
Chapter 216: Perfect Jinchūriki, Killer Bee
After entering the city, the wind and snow from the outside world were blocked by the city walls, warmth returned to their bodies, and the main city of the Iron Kingdom appeared in front of them.
Xingye Feng looked around and nodded from time to time, commenting: "The Iron Country is developing well, and it is stronger than other countries."
After that, he picked up the goods with Konoha patterns on them from the roadside stall and raised an eyebrow, saying, "At least, foreign trade is open."
Thanks to its status as a permanently neutral country, the Iron Kingdom is a rare piece of pure land and wars basically never affect it.
But Mifune was not a stubborn person. When he saw Konoha's rise, he seized the opportunity, supported foreign trade, and wanted to get a share of the pie for the Iron Kingdom.
After the previous competition, Xingye Feng's evaluation of him also improved, that he was a person who knew how to seize opportunities.
However... rapid development also has its downsides. Feng Xingye's eyes fell on the homeless man on the street.
"These are the people who lost everything due to trade failure." Mifune's voice sounded from behind.
Xingye Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Doesn't the Iron Country care?"
"Of course I want to take care of it." Mifune's eyes darkened for a moment.
"Want to?" Xingye Feng understood a little. "That means there is nothing we can do. After all, the Iron Nation is too small and too weak."
Mifune lowered his head silently. These words were laid out so nakedly in front of him that it was hard for him to accept them.
The status of a neutral country brings many conveniences, but at the same time, it also brings more shackles. The Iron Country can only live in a corner and travel around with the waves.
Because of neutrality, there is peace; because of neutrality, there are restrictions.
"Will the Iron Country remain neutral in the future?" Xingye Feng turned around and asked casually, as light as the breeze in the sky, which could be light or heavy.
Mifune stared at Hoshino Kaede, his eyes revealing dryness: "That is not for me to decide. It's you and Konoha."
Xingye Feng chuckled: "You are quite honest. Can you accept it in your heart if you say it out loud like this?"
He had to deal with both the military offensive of Konoha and the survival of the country. If it were someone else with a weaker will, he would have given up long ago and would not have been able to develop the Iron Kingdom.
"This is the trend of history." Mifune said something unexpected.
Xingye Feng looked at him in surprise: "Why do you say that? Do you think this is bound to happen in the future?"
Mifune looked at him, wisdom gleaming in his eyes, and spoke calmly with a vicissitudes of life tone.
"The ninja world is developing, and people are making progress."
"Just like samurai will gradually be replaced by ninjas, I can't stop this trend, I can only obey or delay it."
"And Konoha is just like a ninja. No matter how the opponents resist, they are ultimately no match for each other."
Hearing these heartfelt words, Xingye Feng said with emotion: "There will always be smart people in the world."
He looked at Mifune, his eyes moved down to the ninja sword at his waist, and smiled: "Samurai will be lonely, but they will not disappear, just like winter passes and spring will always come, it's just a matter of speed."
Hearing this, Mifune gently stroked the scabbard and said, "I have always believed that."
Xingye Feng said: "This place will still need you in the future, so don't leave too early."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the town and heading towards his original destination.
Mifune stood there for a long time, looking at the man who remained mysterious in the wind and snow, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
After leaving the town, Feng Xingye and a few others sped up. Fortunately, the Iron Kingdom was small in area, and they finally arrived at the Thunder Kingdom a day later.
After entering this place, Kaede Hoshino slowed down his pace. Obito poked his head around, very curious about this unfamiliar area.
Miya Seigen stepped into this land again with complicated expressions in his eyes, but when he thought of the God beside him, the unhappiness on his face immediately disappeared.
Xingye Feng looked at the surrounding environment and frowned, saying, "The climate in the Land of Thunder is indeed bad."
The surroundings were gloomy and thunder could be heard from time to time, as if it was constantly tempering people's hearts.
"The people who live on this land are really generous." Xingye Feng sighed, and then asked Yuya Seigen: "Do you know the way?"
"......" The surroundings seemed to freeze for a moment, and then Yuya Seigen's awkward voice sounded: "This is my first time out too, sorry."
Hoshino Feng nodded. He was not surprised. He just asked casually just in case. It was harmless.
"We are unfamiliar with the place, so let's find someone to ask." said Xingye Feng.
Obito looked at the deserted scene around him and asked, "Where can we find it?"
Shisui thought hard but came up with nothing, so he suggested, "How about we just keep going forward?"
Kakashi denied it decisively: "That's too inefficient."
In the following hour, various methods were proposed and then rejected. Xingye Feng watched them with interest and did not interrupt.
I thought we would have to wait a while before we could come up with a conclusion, but suddenly, Xingye Feng's expression changed and he said, "Someone is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked out of the forest. Except for Xingye Feng, the others looked at them warily.
There is no other reason, it’s just that these people are all ninjas. Judging from their chakra reactions, they are at least at the Chunin level.
A group of people in the field surrounded them with decisive movements. Kakashi formed seals with his hands, ready for a fierce battle.
But Xingye Feng stopped him with one hand and shook his head slightly at him.
Obito and the others were puzzled and looked at each other inquiringly.
Xingye Feng took a few steps forward and spoke in a surprising way: "Oh my, I didn't expect that someone would welcome me right after arriving in the Land of Lightning. I'm really flattered."
"You came too hastily, and I didn't prepare any gifts. Isn't that a bit too rude?"
After a few words, the ninjas in front of him were a little at a loss. They all knew who the person in front of them was, but they did not expect Hoshino Kaede to talk nonsense like this.
Obito and the others all twitched their lips. They thought it might be inappropriate to put such open words here.
Seeing this, Hoshino Feng smiled lightly, then his smile faded, and he looked behind the Cloud Ninja and said.
"Don't hide, Eight-Tails boy over there. Do you really think I can't see such a huge amount of chakra?"
"I didn't expect to send you here. Where's the Fourth Raikage? Are you afraid of me?"
Following Hoshino Kaede's gaze, everyone looked over.
A dark-skinned man wearing black sunglasses and with seven knives on his back walked out.
Obito stared at him with his Sharingan open and exclaimed, "Such strong chakra!"
"Oh, thank you for the compliment." Killer Bee grinned and looked at Obito.
Hoshino Kaede looked at Killer Bee and nodded in appreciation: "The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is still a perfect match."
"You are very good. Among the Jinchūriki, you are the strongest right now."
Facing Hoshino Kaede, Kirabi was very serious, not as frivolous and casual as usual. When he heard his compliment, he spoke seriously.
"It is an honor to be praised by the God of Ninja World."
