Land of Iron, a neutral small country, a nation without a ninja force, entirely composed of samurai.
Similar to the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain, it is a country with extreme seasonal characteristics.
Located in the far northern region of the world, it is covered in snow all year round, with a harsh and frigid climate.
However, this environment has given rise to a unique culture.
Outside the royal city, snow continued to fall, blanketing the ground in a layer of silver.
Standing beside an obelisk tower was a colossal figure nearly a hundred meters tall.
In this stormy and dim weather, its form was difficult to discern.
Inside the obelisk tower, a special heating system kept the space much warmer.
A full day had already passed since the scheduled Five Kage Summit, yet the Hokage had yet to appear.
The Third Tsuchikage, Ohnoki; the Fourth Mizukage, Karatach Yagura; the Fifth Raikage, Killer Bee; and the Fifth Kazekage, Pakura—each had arrived two days ago, accompanied by two guards from their respective villages.
As for Konoha, only one person had arrived—the Seven Crown Guards' Hyuga Hakumen.
With the Hokage absent, the Five Kage Summit could not commence.
However, the massive giant stationed outside the obelisk tower ensured that everyone's patience remained intact.
"Hakumen-kun, may I ask when Lord Hokage will arrive?" Yagura inquired once again, lowering his posture despite addressing someone of mere bodyguard status.
"Lord Hokage will arrive when the time is right." Hakumen replied calmly.
Even the aged Ohnoki had no choice but to endure.
All of the present Kage had, after all, been personally visited by the Brutal Justice before coming here.
He had lived for most of his life and was considered a veteran among the ninja world, yet he had never witnessed such an overwhelmingly terrifying power.
Even the so-called "God of Shinobi" from Konoha and Uchiha Madara had never been as fearsome as that colossal giant.
Ohnoki prided himself on never underestimating the Fifth Hokage, even though they had never met in person.
He had made efforts to uncover some of Konoha's secrets and had learned a few things.
For someone to outlast figures like the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru, and even the "Yellow Flash," no matter how young they were, they could not possibly be a simple individual.
Furthermore, with the Land of Fire on the verge of becoming a ninja nation, Ohnoki found himself begrudgingly impressed by the young Hokage's political finesse.
Konoha had never lacked such remarkable figures, and now, once again, it had demonstrated a power that could dominate the entire ninja world, much like the "God of Shinobi" once did.
This realization made Ohnoki, whose ambitions had never truly died, feel a sense of despair—after all, he was already in his sixties.
"Lord Hokage certainly knows how to keep people in suspense." The Fifth Kazekage, Pakura, said with a light, playful smile.
"Please bear with us a little longer, Lord Kazekage." Hyuga Hakumen responded with a slight bow.
Since Sunagakure was Konoha's ally, Hakumen still maintained a certain level of respect towards them.
In fact, Sunagakure was the only village that had not been "visited" by Brutal Justice yet.
However, when Pakura arrived at the obelisk tower, she was still deeply shocked by the sheer presence of Brutal Justice.
Seeing the other Kage obediently attending the summit, without even a trace of resistance—even when dealing with a mere Hokage's bodyguard—only confirmed what she already suspected.
She could already foresee that the power dynamics of the ninja world were about to undergo a dramatic upheaval.
The good news was that Sunagakure had always maintained a close relationship with Konoha.
After the civil unrest in the Land of Fire, when its civilians suffered, the Land of Wind had been generous in providing aid.
This should ensure that Sunagakure's future would not be as humiliating as the other three villages.
If your fists weren't as strong as your opponent's, then you could only lower your head.
Pakura accepted this reality with ease—the other three Kage were the ones who should be feeling the most anxious right now.
The Five Kage Summit had been called by the Hokage, yet at this moment, the Hokage himself was leisurely accompanying his two lovely wives on a tour of the Iron Country's capital.
The exotic scenery fascinated them, and both Ayari and Ayano were overjoyed.
Even though they were already mothers, they still acted like young girls, eagerly pulling Makoto around as they explored the streets.
It was a rare opportunity.
Ever since they had been with Makoto, they had hardly ever indulged in such carefree enjoyment.
Makoto could see how much fun they were having, so he decided they would stay here for two days, attend the summit when they felt like it, and then continue their travels together.
For now, let the other Kage wait.
He would deal with them once Ayari and Ayano had fully enjoyed themselves.
As soon as they arrived in the capital, they found a luxurious hot spring inn.
Without hesitation, Makoto paid to rent out the entire place.
After settling their luggage in their room, Ayari suddenly realized something.
"Tonight... how are we sleeping?"
"We'll all sleep together, of course," Makoto replied casually.
Ayari bit her lip gently, her gaze flickering uneasily.
This scoundrel...
Ayano, on the other hand, pretended to be indifferent, focusing on tidying up her belongings as if she hadn't heard anything.
Ayari knew all too well what was going through Makoto's mind.
Back when Kushina and Mikoto hadn't moved in yet, this bastard had hinted more than once about whether they could try sharing a bed together.
Ayari had always firmly held her ground, rejecting the idea outright.
Every time Makoto brought it up, she would coldly shut him down, making it clear that if he dared to push the matter any further, she would immediately turn hostile.
With no other choice, Makoto had let it go.
But after Mikoto and Kushina moved in, he had shifted that particular desire away from her—and successfully carried it out with them.
There was even a time when Ayano had complained to her, saying that Makoto had been spending all his nights with Mikoto and Kushina, completely neglecting the two of them.
She had even subtly hinted to Ayari that perhaps they should consider doing the same—to win back Makoto's affection.
Back then, Ayari had been absolutely furious.
She even got into a heated argument with her sister over it, and Makoto got caught in the crossfire as well—she ignored him for two whole days.
After that incident, Makoto became much more restrained.
When it came to sleeping arrangements, he made sure to spread his attention evenly.
Until today, he wouldn't have dared to suggest sleeping together.
And under normal circumstances, Ayari would never agree.
But thinking about it carefully… This entire trip, Makoto had been putting her first.
That thought filled Ayari's heart with warmth and joy.
Besides, Ayano was here because she had brought her along…
Maybe just this once…
She caught Makoto sneaking glances at her while pretending to act casual.
Immediately, she shot him a glare.
"Then ask the owner for another bed. We'll sleep separately."
Makoto chuckled. "Alright, separately. You think I'd try anything?"
Ayari turned away, huffing.
"Hmph. Not like it'd matter even if you did—I happen to be unavailable these next two days."
Makoto instantly froze, looking dumbfounded.
Seeing Makoto's defeated expression, Ayari couldn't help but smirk slightly before turning away to continue packing.
At that moment, Ayano suddenly leaned in close and whispered, "Ayari actually finished two days ago… and mine won't come for another week."
Unfortunately, Ayari overheard her.
Instantly, her face turned red with embarrassment and anger.
She shrieked and lunged at Ayano, who burst into laughter and dodged away.
Watching the two women chase each other around the room, Makoto couldn't help but smile.
Maybe I should've brought Mikoto and Kushina along too…
Actually, if I had also brought Tsunade, Nonou… and maybe even Samui…
Hmm…
Am I getting a little greedy?
No need to rush.
There's still a long road ahead—a very long road indeed!
