Chapter 403: , some people are born to be protagonists

Following the guiding samurai, Ryosuke's group had arrived inside the so-called "Samurai Hall," an institution similar to the Mizukage Building, which could be considered the core of the Land of Iron.

After entering, Ryosuke couldn't help but look around, his eyes filled with curiosity.

It must be said that under the sky of the Ninja World, the samurai of the Land of Iron are truly a breath of fresh air.

As soon as one entered the hall, the huge characters for "Loyalty" and "Righteousness" hung on the wall; beyond that, the surroundings were covered with clauses similar to "Samurai Commandments" and "Rules of Conduct."

Any one of them, if plucked out, would be beyond the reach of a ninja.

For example: prohibition of theft and deception, prohibition of indiscriminate killing of the innocent, and prohibition of involving civilians.

These and other clauses that seemed impractical to Ryosuke were just placed at the main entrance of the Samurai Hall.

It seemed that violating these clauses would result in the loss of the qualification to become a samurai.

Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke shook his head secretly.

For ninjas, poisoning, assassination, and sparing no cost for the sake of a mission are already daily occurrences.

Throughout the Ninja World, there isn't a single ninja who dares to say their hands are completely clean.

In the dark environment of the Ninja World, only the old schemers can survive to the end; the more righteous a ninja's image, the more miserably they die.

In the original story, the few ninjas with positive images, such as Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya, also died one more miserably than the other.

While the old schemers of the Ninja World, such as Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Onoki, lived one more comfortably than the other.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen eventually died under Orochimaru's backstabbing, you must know that at over seventy years old, having been Hokage for decades, Sarutobi Hiruzen was already luckier than who knows how many other ninjas.

Daring to openly take "Loyalty and Righteousness" as a creed is simply fearing that one won't die fast enough.

But after some careful thought, Ryosuke also understood.

It wasn't for any other reason; it was purely "spoiled" by the superior conditions of the Land of Iron.

Just one point: they have money.

In other words, they haven't been beaten by the harsh reality of the Ninja World.

Having lived peaceful days for too long, they don't know how cruel the real world is.

During the time Mizunuki Ryosuke was lost in thought, the group had arrived in a spacious room.

Before entering, a samurai blocked Suishi Tatsuo's path.

"This lord, you can bring at most one guard inside."

"I hope you will forgive us."

Hearing this, Suishi Tatsuo frowned.

This time, he did not turn back to observe Mizunuki Ryosuke's expression, but slowly raised a hand and waved it.

Immediately, the other four Mist Ninjas who were acting as guards and "appearances" were dismissed, leaving only Mizunuki Ryosuke to follow behind Suishi Tatsuo.

Seeing this, Ryosuke nodded with satisfaction; Suishi Tatsuo had truly made great progress this time.

"Please enter!"

Seeing this, the samurai opened the door meticulously, and the two entered.

The room was circular, with a huge round table placed in the center.

Besides the Land of Iron's General, Mifune, who was already sitting in the main seat, there were seven or eight other seats.

Seeing this room, Ryosuke always had a sense of familiarity.

Thinking slightly, he immediately understood that this room was none other than the one used for the Five Kage Summit later on!

Thinking of this, a flash of realization crossed Ryosuke's eyes.

After entering the room, Suishi Tatsuo just locked eyes with Mifune in the main seat; their auras clashed briefly in the air, and then the two nodded to each other in greeting.

The short moment of confrontation made both realize that the other was an expert, so they stopped at the appropriate point.

"As expected of the General of the Land of Iron!"

"As expected of the envoy of a great nation!"

The two sighed in their hearts.

"Please sit."

"Please wait a moment; once everyone has arrived, we will officially begin."

Mifune said slowly; perhaps because of the strength Suishi Tatsuo had just displayed, Mifune appeared very polite. ===== CHAPTER 405 =====
