Chapter 494 Could it be him again?
The next morning.
The heavy snowfall in the Land of Iron for days finally stopped, and thick snow covered all the buildings.
The soft sunlight in the morning broke through the clouds and mist, slowly pouring down, dyeing this white world with a layer of golden glow.
Kaito, who got up early, wore a plain dress and sat cross-legged in the courtyard with his eyes slightly closed.
The breeze blew gently, and a few snowflakes fell on his shoulders, but it did not affect Kaito's feeling of the natural energy everywhere in the air.
Ever since he drew the ability of "Origin Sea" and mastered the "Water Style Sage Mode", he has been very interested in the so-called natural energy in the ninja world.
Failure to practice the Sage Mode of Mount Myoboku will turn people into toad stone statues. The Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave will indeed have some characteristics of snakes turning into dragons if they are successfully practiced. It seems that the Sages of the three holy places are also able to live forever because of the practice of Senjutsu.
Jūgo, who was born with a sage body, possessed the strange ability to change his body at will, and even became violent and murderous because he could not control the natural energy.
His "Water Style Sage Mode" that was integrated with the "Origin Sea" also had the ability to control water flow and even celestial phenomena.
Little Yoshi could release all Pokémon moves out of thin air with just a "flick of the finger".
Although both of them were sage arts that combined natural energy and chakra, they showed completely different, almost omnipotent powers.
It was hard not to make Kaito associate it with things like "reiki" or "magic elements" in the legend of his previous life.
However, the things in the legend were too illusory after all.
And the natural energy and sage arts in the ninja world were not as harmless as the gentle and obedient little sheep.
Even Kaito, who had already mastered the "Water Style Sage Mode", did not dare to try it too recklessly.
He could only carefully explore the boundaries of the "Water Style Sage Mode" in order to better improve himself.
At present, all he can do is to let some ice-attribute moves gain the bonus of "Sage Water" energy.
But the effect and control are still somewhat different from the simple "Water Style".
And now there is no need to mention the system lottery.
Kaito's goal in his own practice is to use the water-attribute chakra as the intermediate guide to try to combine "White Style" with "Sage Mode" to see if he can come up with a "White Style Sage Mode".
Although, this matter still needs to be done slowly.
But now is just the right time.
The environment of the Land of Iron, which is covered by ice and snow all year round, is just right for Kaito to feel the different nature.
Kaito estimates that if the so-called "White Style Sage Mode" can really be achieved, his own strength should be greatly improved again.
"Well, although my current strength seems to be enough for the time being."
"But, White Style Sage Mode, I think it should be More cool, right?"
Just when Kaito was farting in the yard.
Terumi Mei suddenly appeared beside him, and she reminded him respectfully in a low voice.
"Mizukage-sama, Mifune-sama is here to seek a meeting with you."
Hearing Terumi Mei's respectful tone, Kaito was not surprised.
Terumi Mei is not that guy Zabuza.
After all, this is someone else's territory, and Terumi Mei will pay attention to some face-saving things for Kaito.
Upon hearing this, Kaito stopped his own practice, stood up from the snow, patted the snow on his clothes, and then asked.
"Mifune-sama is here in person?"
"Yes, he is already here, and is waiting for you outside."
Kaito thought about it and simply did not change his clothes. He walked directly to the living room of this house in this light white dress.
However, after seeing Mifune, Kaito almost laughed out loud.
The general of the Land of Iron, who was still high-spirited yesterday, became much more haggard after just one night.
His face was slightly pale, his eyes were full of dense bloodshot, and the carefully groomed beard on his chin looked a little frizzy at this moment.
It stands to reason that with the physical fitness of an excellent samurai like Mifune, he would not be so haggard even if he had not slept all night.
Obviously, his appearance at this moment was not just physical fatigue.
After seeing Kaito coming over, Mifune hurriedly stood up and saluted politely.
After receiving Kaito's return greeting, he did not continue to be polite and spoke directly.
"Mizukage-sama, the place where you were attacked yesterday has been found. The samurai sent out have also contacted the other kages. The kages have promised to rush to the venue."
Kaito heard this and looked at Mifune's haggard appearance again with some curiosity.
After thinking for a while, he asked directly.
"In this case, I guess there is no big problem with the kages. Why is Mifune so tired?"
The so-called attack was just a trick by Kaito to muddy the waters.
Moreover, due to the existence of the sealing spell, it is enough to prove that this matter has little to do with the Land of Iron. With Mifune's status as a general of the Land of Iron and his cunning, this little thing should not make the other party so exhausted, right?
However, when Mifune heard Kaito's question, he sighed helplessly.
"The samurai who went to find the kages sent back an urgent report. There was nothing wrong with the other three kages, but..."
After Mifune said "but", he seemed to be hesitant to speak, but he finally opened his mouth to continue.
"But the message from Raikage-sama is that they were attacked by suspected Konoha ninjas on their way out of the Land of Lightning, and the news has been passed back to the Kumogakure Village."
"Now, the army of the Kumogakure Village has already set out and rushed to the border battlefield of the Land of Fire."
"Raikage-sama means that he is willing to continue the talks this time, just to ask Konoha for an explanation. If the talks cannot be settled, the Kumogakure Army is afraid..."
Kaito raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
Even Terumi Mei, who was standing by, subconsciously glanced at Kaito next to him after hearing Mifune's answer.
After all, she was also very clear about what the so-called "attack" was.
'There was actually an attack? And the Kumogakure Village actually sent reinforcements directly to the front line?'
Various thoughts flashed through Kaito's mind.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out the reason.
'With Minato's character, since he has prepared for the Five Kage Talks, he would definitely not take the initiative to provoke the Kumogakure Village at this time. '
'Sarutobi Hiruzen is probably eager to negotiate a ceasefire as soon as possible. This opportunity to use the power of the other ninja villages to oppress Kumogakure is the best situation for Konoha. '
'The character of the Fourth Raikage Ai is well known in the ninja world. To provoke the other party during the talks is just asking for trouble. '
Kaito really couldn't understand why Konoha would take the initiative to attack the Raikage who came to the meeting at this time.
'Is it that the radical guy Danzo is behind it again? '
