Chapter 479 Conflict Erupts
Chapter 479 Conflict Erupts
The Land of Iron, a rare neutral nation in the ninja world. Within its borders lies Mount Sanrou, the site of the world-renowned Five Kage Summit. At this moment, this majestic mountain range is gently enveloped by swirling snowflakes, as if covered in a thick layer of silver, burying this vast area entirely in crystal-clear ice and snow. As far as the eye can see, it is a breathtaking expanse of white.
The three towering peaks, reaching into the clouds, resembled three ferocious, pure white giant wolves roaring towards the sky. They stood arrogantly between heaven and earth, exuding boundless majesty. This magnificent sight inspired awe at the wonders of nature and added a touch of solemnity and grandeur to the upcoming Five Shadows Conference.
To ensure the smooth progress of the talks, Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, acted decisively, dispatching countless official samurai from his own country to the meeting. These battle-hardened warriors, clad in heavy armor and wielding sharp weapons, stood solemnly guarding key positions, forming an impregnable defensive line. They were acutely aware of the heavy responsibility they bore—to ensure that nothing untoward happened to the representatives of the five great ninja villages attending the talks! For if anything went wrong, the Land of Iron, which had painstakingly maintained its neutrality, could very well be drawn into the complex conflicts between the ninja villages, plunging it into an abyss of no return.
On the outskirts of the snow-covered, frigid Three Wolves Mountain, the previously tranquil space suddenly rippled with tiny waves, like the surface of a lake tossed with pebbles. Then, accompanied by a dazzling light and a strong spatial fluctuation, two figures appeared without warning on the thick snow.
The two figures were dressed in contrasting ways. One wore a mysterious mask, completely concealing his face; the other was none other than the hot-blooded young Uchiha Sasuke. Just recently, the masked man had meticulously fabricated a "truth" about the massacre of the Uchiha clan, successfully stirring up Sasuke's burning hatred for Konoha. At this moment, Sasuke's heart was filled with the flames of revenge, and his hatred for Konoha had reached its peak.
The masked man knew that to ensure Sasuke Uchiha could never turn back, he had to cut off all paths that could lead him back to Konoha. Therefore, he plotted a shocking scheme—to have Sasuke attack the Konoha representative during the upcoming Five Kage Summit. This would ensure Sasuke's complete break with the five great ninja villages, making him a target of everyone's wrath.
Furthermore, to ensure the plan's success, the masked man secretly instructed White Zetsu to deliberately provoke the representatives of the Five Great Shinobi Villages at the meeting center. Using his unique abilities, White Zetsu skillfully stirred up the anger of the Five Great Shinobi Village representatives, making them deeply resentful of the intruder. Thus, when Uchiha Sasuke appeared and launched his attack, a conflict between the two sides would be imminent and irreconcilable.
The masked man smiled coldly. He seemed to already see Sasuke Uchiha clashing fiercely with the five great ninja villages, and he foresaw the enormous impact this chaos would have on the entire ninja world. However, he didn't care about any of that, because his goals were far more profound than the current situation…
"Sasuke, at this very moment, the representative of Konoha—Shimura Danzo—is behind that door, holding a secret meeting with important figures from various ninja villages. Moreover, he doesn't have many guards protecting him. This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity, a great chance for you to avenge your blood feud! More importantly, isn't this also the perfect stage for you to fully unleash and adapt to your incredibly powerful and fearsome Mangekyou Sharingan?" The masked man turned his head slightly, his gaze fixed on Uchiha Sasuke, whose eyes were blinded by the raging fire of hatred, and spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's face, already contorted with rage, instantly became even more ferocious. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Just tell me the exact location of Shimura Danzo. The rest is none of your concern!" Since awakening his Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke's strength had increased by leaps and bounds, skyrocketing like a rocket. At this moment, his confidence was extremely inflated, as if he were invincible. Coupled with the deep-seated hatred he harbored for Shimura Danzo, he had completely lost his reason.
In truth, Sasuke Uchiha had more or less sensed and guessed the true intentions and purposes hidden behind the masked man's actions. He knew very well that the other party simply wanted to use him as a pawn to restrain Konoha. But even so, at this moment, he no longer cared about being used by others; the only thing he cared about was to personally defeat Shimura Danzo and pry the deeply buried truth out of him.
However, Sasuke Uchiha never expected that this masked man would actually pass on the information about his intrusion to the Five Kage Summit that was in progress! This move was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, directly igniting the anger in the hearts of those powerful figures who had always held high positions and were arrogant throughout the ninja world.
For these high-ranking figures, whose strength was already near the pinnacle of the ninja world, facing the Akatsuki's invasion was something they wouldn't even consider a threat. Yet now, this insignificant character dared to openly trespass into their territory. In their eyes, this was nothing short of a blatant provocation and offense.
The Five Kage, already highly vigilant against anything that might threaten their position and interests, were now utterly enraged. They all set aside their affairs and focused their attention on this intruder who dared to challenge their authority. A fierce conflict seemed inevitable.
The moment Uchiha Sasuke cautiously stepped into the interior of Sanrou Mountain, an unusual atmosphere immediately enveloped him. His keen intuition told him that the security personnel inside seemed to have encountered some kind of emergency. The security personnel, who had been scattered throughout the area on patrol, were now hurriedly and orderly being mobilized. They moved quickly, their steps hurried, as if an invisible force was directing them to converge in a specific direction.
Sasuke Uchiha's heart tightened, and he looked in the direction the security personnel were moving. A chill ran down his spine as he realized that the direction they were converging on completely overlapped with the route he had taken to invade! This startling discovery made Sasuke's face turn incredibly grim, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Has my infiltration plan been discovered?" Sasuke Uchiha wondered to himself, his heart filled with frustration and unease. If that were the case, what awaited him was an extremely difficult, possibly even fatal, battle. However, he knew there was no turning back now; he could only grit his teeth and continue forward, waiting for the right opportunity. With that thought, Sasuke Uchiha took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and then, with a flash, he moved towards the conference center like a ghost.
In this Land of Iron, the ordinary samurai guards were truly mediocre in strength. How could their meager skills possibly stop him from taking the next step? Now, with his strength greatly enhanced, Uchiha Sasuke had long regarded these people as insignificant beings, not even deigning to give them a second glance. After all, to him now, these lowly samurai guards were nothing more than ants, easily trampled underfoot.
Moreover, he came with a very clear objective, and this objective was not these insignificant samurai from the Land of Iron. His true target was the personnel sent by Konoha to participate in the talks. As for the others, they were merely negligible supporting characters to him. As long as he could successfully achieve his plan targeting the Konoha personnel, everything would proceed as he envisioned.
Sasuke Uchiha moved with lightning speed, his movements astonishing. Like a black bolt of lightning, he instantly overtook the ordinary samurai responsible for security. However, as he continued his advance, the number of samurai blocking his path increased daily. This made it increasingly difficult for him to pass through the area undetected and stealthily.
Initially, Sasuke Uchiha didn't want to easily reveal his whereabouts, much less attack these innocent samurai. After all, his target wasn't these ordinary security personnel, but the key figure located in the conference center. However, the situation forced him to act. If he didn't deal with the endless stream of samurai, it would not only waste his precious time but also allow the people from Konoha to escape from the conference center, thus causing his carefully planned operation to fail.
Thinking this, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes turned cold, and he silently made up his mind. His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and his chakra surged powerfully within him. The next moment, he unleashed a series of incredibly fierce ninjutsu techniques, attacking the samurai blocking his path. In an instant, light and shadow danced across the scene, energy swirled, and shouts of battle and screams of agony rose and fell. Under the overwhelming power of Sasuke Uchiha, the samurai were utterly powerless to resist, and were all knocked to the ground.
