Red sand dust

The Kingdom of Iron is located in the north of the Kingdom of Fire, and is much colder than the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire in the south.

At the beginning of the new year, the snow in Konohagakure gradually melted, and the warm wind from the southwest began to blow in Sunagakure Village. The Land of Iron was still a land of ice and snow.

In fact, samurai in the ninja world rarely have the pure practice of honing their swordsmanship and character. Although the Kingdom of Iron claims to be a country of samurai, it is actually an alternative ninja who puts on armor and uses chakra to enhance the power of weapons.

These "sword-wielding and armored ninjas" who do not take the ordinary path are actually considered to have deviated from the way of warriors. In Daimaru's view, they are not considered samurai at all. Those bounty hunters who travel around the world and the gangsters who are proficient in Iai Swordsman are better than They are more qualified to say that they have inherited the path of the samurai.

Of course, Mifune and his subordinates were willing to flatter themselves, open their mouths and shut themselves up in a samurai-spirited self-hypnosis, and others didn't bother to care.

If it weren't for the need for a reasonable third party, who would tolerate such a so-called "samurai country" that is outside the order of the ninja world and only reaps benefits without taking responsibility?

Gaara and Daimaru, who started two days late but arrived first, reported to the leader of the Iron Kingdom and had a good tour of the Northern Kingdom under the protection of a group of fully armed armored guards.

"This place is covered with ice and snow for more than one-third of the year, and the agricultural environment is not much better than the Country of Winds..."

Gaara objectively evaluated the situation of the Iron Kingdom from the perspective of a leader.

Daimaru kicked away the ice lumps at his feet and said matter-of-factly:

"The south, close to the Country of Fire, is a little better. I can barely grow some onions and rye. But when the cold wave hits, there will definitely be no harvest. The north is full of permafrost that does not melt all year round. The natural conditions are worse than The 'Devil's Desert' is even worse..."

"Then how do the residents here live? We can't import all their food from the Land of Fire. I think the residents here are relatively wealthy, and they don't seem to be short of food and clothing..."

"The Kingdom of Iron is close to the sea. There are several large fishing grounds and several large rivers with abundant water, which are hard to come by in the Kingdom of Wind. The fish caught every winter are enough to feed the residents of the Iron Kingdom for half a year..."

Daimaru sighed,

"Actually, there are good fishing conditions in the south of the Kingdom of Wind, but they have not been developed. For the several research institutes in the village that develop underwater weapons, I think it is better for them to turn to artificial breeding technology. The Kingdom of Wind has a long coastline. If used properly, , you can open up a large area of ​​'sea pasture' and feed more ninjas, which is much more reliable than developing water warfare weapons that you don't know whether they will be used or not..."

"If the conditions are right, you can give it a try..."

Gaara replied with some embarrassment,

"It is probably impossible to stop weapons research. We need to allocate additional funds to try sea farming. Awaji Village is close to the sea. You can plan first..."

"There's no time! There are so many troubles and so many threads that I can't sort them out..."

The huge Sunagakure Village has too much inertia in the past. With Gaara's prestige, if he wants to adjust the development trend, he needs to advance step by step; Daimaru has too many ideas, and a large number of advanced projects have been launched in a hurry, and they have not even been fully rolled out. There are no manpower.

Given the current environment of the Shinobi World, marine fishery resources are still very abundant, and the need for artificial breeding is not urgent.

If it were like Daimaru's previous life, after hundreds of years of "extinction fishing", many marine life habitats have almost become dead areas, and the catch can no longer compare with artificial breeding, so they have to adjust their strategies; in the current ninja world, just let go and catch it. Yes, artificial breeding is also profitable for certain precious seafood species. For fisheries that serve the public, it is more cost-effective to rely on the sea and eat from the sea.

While the two were strolling around and chatting about trivial matters related to Sunagakure Village, Daimaru suddenly raised his head and looked at the western sky.

"Why...the Tsuchikage is here?"

Daimaru nodded:

"It's a little later than I thought..."

If you want to ask which ninja village is most concerned about this Five Kage Conference, there is no doubt that it is the Iwagakure Village that lost its four tails.

"Then... let's go back too!"

"good!"

Daimaru looked at Gaara who seemed a little distracted and asked strangely,

"Is there something wrong? If you tell me in time, there may be a way to remedy it..."

"I'm thinking...what should I do if a fight breaks out on the spot!"

"It seems I'm still nervous..."

Daimaru chuckled lightly. After all, he was only a fourteen-year-old boy. He had been the fifth generation of the Kazekage for several months and had not yet secured his seat. It was understandable that he lacked confidence.

"You are already very strong, so there is no need to worry if you accidentally lose to me in one move. Your ninjutsu style is very simple. For me, who is familiar with your ninjutsu routines, I can subdue you unexpectedly." It's not difficult, but the same little trick may not work next time. To put it bluntly, intelligence wins, and the competition between you and me is actually not very fair..."

"It's not all about this. I'm thinking about how to avoid the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja War..."

"Well, I can't say for sure. Just do what you want and the whole village will have your back..."

This Five Shadows Conference was the furthest away from established matters that Daimaru could remember in his life. Therefore, there was no information for reference and he could only make inferences based on existing intelligence and common sense.

At this time, Daimaru's advantage as a time traveler does not exist. It is better to leave it to these natural "shadows", who are more likely to solve these problems.

"I see!"

…

Onoki and Yellow Earth arrived almost a day and a half later than Daimaru and Gaara. Later, Tsunade and Nara Shikaku, and Ai and Kirabi arrived almost at the same time. Finally, Terumi Mei and Aoshan arrived late.

The five major ninja villages were not interested in any preparations and ceremonies before the conference. After everyone arrived, Mifune immediately arranged the venue, arranged for guards, and presided over the unexpected Five Kage Conference.

From the beginning, the atmosphere was very solemn. After the Five Shadows sat down, Daimaru glanced at the dull-looking Loess and the solemn-looking Onoki. It was obvious that he was about to explode at any time.

The burly fourth generation Raikage is calm and self-confident, and exudes an aura of anti-customerism; behind him, Kirabi, who is wandering in the world, holds a pencil in his hand and writes rapidly on a notepad from time to time, and occasionally opens and closes his mouth, as if he is muttering silently. What.

The seemingly young Hokage Fifth Generation Tsunade was not overly worried when faced with the challenge of Iwa Ninja. The strong strength of Konoha Village gave her the confidence to be calm and composed; Nara Shikaku looked very different from the drunken appearance after drinking. , his sparkling eyes calmly took in all the attendees.
