Escape From Konoha

Because of the complex terrain and vast area of ​​the islands in the western waters of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and the fact that pirates are divided into groups of different sizes, it took a week for Liuli to basically wipe out these pirates.

Of course, it is impossible to kill all of them. Some of them see that the situation is not good, and they flee away. Some give up their resistance.

After all, these are free labor, and they don't need to pay any wages other than paying them three meals a day, which saves a lot of money.

The robbers who were exterminated in the land of ghosts before are also handled in a similar way.

Manage them centrally, perform well, and get out of their 'prisoner' status and start at the bottom.

As soon as Liuli calmed down the western waters with his forefoot, Shiraishi immediately dispatched 300 official members to take over the surrendering pirates and began to build military bases on the islands in the western seas.

The islands in the western sea area of ​​the Ghost Country are very widely distributed, but there are no large islands. The largest is a medium-sized island, with fewer than five in number.

The rest are small and miniature islands, dotted around the medium island division.

Considering the area required for military bases, they can only choose to build on medium-sized islands. Those small and micro islands can set up sentries on them to maintain the security of the sea area.

Building materials for building military bases can only be transported from land.

And the number and size of the surrounding ships, it is difficult to meet the transportation needs of Shiraishi.

In order to increase efficiency, Shiraishi released his water avatar, the Water Dragon God, into the form of a giant python, swimming in the sea at an extremely fast speed, carrying a large amount of building materials on his back, and transporting it to various medium-sized islands.

It took more than a month and in late June, the military base on the medium-sized island was basically completed.

The general construction has been completed, and the training and experimental equipment that have been ordered have also begun to be delivered to the base to fill the internal vacancies and allow all staff to be in place as soon as possible.

When the number of bases was not expanded, the manpower was very crowded.

However, as the number and scale of bases continued to increase, Shiraishi felt a shortage of manpower.

However, the ninja school has only just been implemented. For the first time, there are only more than 120 students, which seems to be not too small, but these 120 people can only graduate from the school after nine years of education.

Shiraishi is not worried about the strength of these students, because he has taught the more than one hundred and twenty students the natural energy learning method. After nine years of training, with the five major countries as the reference standard, the standard strength of these students when they graduate will at least start with Chunin, except for the lack of combat experience.

In other words, these students will be the backbone or backbone of the future and cannot be used at this time.

If you want to absorb more personnel, you can only use the direct recruitment mode at the beginning, that is, to absorb adults from the poor in various countries, inject them with enhanced potions synthesized by natural energy, and become mass-produced combatants.

The advantage is that through three months to half a year of training, a more intuitive combat effectiveness can be formed.

The disadvantage is that because they become stronger through potion injection, they cannot master the direct cultivation method of natural energy. Their strength will be determined by the degree of fit between their physical constitution and the potion. In addition, the fighting methods are mainly based on physical skills and weapons, and some special situations will not be able to deal with it.

However, Shiraishi didn't have time to think so much when there was a shortage of people.

The Third Ninja World War had begun, and he could predict it at the beginning, but the final direction of the war, and what kind of international environment it would usher in, was something that Shiraishi could not have predicted.

All he can do is to make himself stronger as soon as possible when the five countries are distracted by the war.

"How many Type II strengthening agents are still stored in the factory?"

Type II strengthening agent, the synthetic material is mainly natural energy, it is an upgraded version of the first generation type I strengthening agent.

The Type II body strengthening medicine produced by the second generation has many effects such as increasing the body's anti-strike ability, speed, and strength.

Even if an ordinary person takes it, he can master agility that is not weaker than that of Genin in a short period of time.

There are very few ordinary people who are born with good physical fitness. After being strengthened with medicine, their physical skills can be as good as Chunin.

"There are more than four thousand three hundred."

"Let's recruit a thousand people over there... No, just recruit another 1,500 people."

Although the Type II strengthening agent is sufficient, if more than 4,000 people are recruited at once, the management will be a little overwhelmed, and many branches will be bloated.

And now he doesn't need so many people.

However, 1,000 people are too few, and 1,500 people are almost enough.

"Yes."

The person delivering the order goes down.

After the courier went down, Shiraishi picked up another report to read.

"Stealing drug information?"

This is a report submitted by Shiyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company. Someone sneaked into the research room of the company's headquarters building and stole the drug information.

Shiraishi has seen this kind of thing many times. The profits of Shiyuanhua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. are indeed so large that they provoke the jealousy of their peers. Since their establishment, they have come here to steal drug research materials no less than a hundred times.

This time, however, the nature is different, because the person who came to steal the drug information this time is not a bounty hunter hired by his peers, but a ninja from the five major countries——

Cloud Hidden Ninja.

Although the Yunyin Ninja kept quibbling that he was not a Yunyin Ninja after his identity was revealed, he was just an ordinary hired bounty hunter.

Shiraishi rubbed his eyebrows and sighed softly.

If it wasn't for the fact that Ayane did not leave any clues about the Kingdom of Ghosts during the siege of the third Raikage, including the taking of the Amber Bottle, Shiraishi would have doubted whether this was Yun Yin's revenge against him.

But it was impossible after thinking about it. If it was like that, Yunyin would have sent troops to put pressure on him, instead of sneakily going to Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company to steal drug information.

I just want to get the drug information that Shionhua Pharmaceutical Company has worked so hard to research.

That's why I feel so much headache.

If it were the other villages in Konoha, they could still be resolved through peaceful talks, but Yunyin...let's forget it.

Shiraishi has long been fascinated by the style of this village.

Their way of negotiating is fists.

"Forget it, it's better not to make extra efforts at this time."

For this matter, Shiraishi can only turn a blind eye.

Killing this Yunyin ninja, Yunyin might make a big fuss about it.

Although Baishi is not afraid of Yun Yin's revenge, but now is a critical development period, he doesn't want to be dragged into the quagmire of war, just throw it out after a lesson.

This Yunyin ninja quibbled that he was not from Yunyin Village, and presumably the top management of Yunyin did not want to have any international conflicts with the country of ghosts. Everyone just needs to be tacit.

◎

Shiraishi didn't take the matter of Yunyin Ninja to heart.

Yun Yin is now in a hurry to start a war with Yan Yin, and most of his attention is focused on the land of the country.

But this incident also reminded Bai Shi, since Yun Yin started this idea, the people of the other four Ninja villages may not have this idea, but because of his status as a neutral country, I am embarrassed to say it on the face. .

Shiraishi is not afraid of the oppression and restrictions of his peers. If the five major Ninja Villages are behind the scenes, it will be a little troublesome.

But there is no good way to ask Shiraishi to come up with an idea.

The size of the five major ninja villages is there, and it is obviously impossible to confront each other directly. You can only pretend that nothing happened and do your own thing with peace of mind.

The task of directly recruiting 1,500 members could not go on, and there was good progress every day.

In this turbulent era, even in times of peace, there are serious bandit problems in many countries.

In particular, small countries that have been affected by wars have suffered the most disasters.

Based on this background, many people will become unemployed, hungry, and sleepless. The big names and nobles will only care about themselves and will not pay attention to the feelings of the commoners. Naturally, many people will feel resentment and leave their homes. , to find life elsewhere.

In war-torn areas, adult men can often be seen dragging their families and families, and migration wars have affected smaller countries to settle down.

And these adults who do not have jobs, or are dragging their families away from their home country, are exactly what Shiraishi wants to recruit.

In less than half a month, four or five hundred people were locked in, and the success rate of recruitment was as high as 80%.

Although some people are very wary, some people really can't live in their own country, and they don't want their wives and children to suffer, so they agree to the agreement.

At this rate, it only takes about two months to complete the recruitment task of 1,500 people.

Shiraishi is not in a hurry at all. He doesn't know when the third ninja war will end, but at least in three or five years, this war cannot be over.

There is enough time for him to grow and develop.

After dealing with the affairs at hand, Shiraishi once again came to the shrine where the ruler of the country of ghosts, Maitreya, is located.

"Long time no see, Mr. Shiraishi. Since you came to the land of ghosts, this should be the second time we meet."

Maitreya's voice is always peaceful and peaceful, neither warm nor cold, but a wonderful state of detachment.

Very similar to a live gnat.

"Yes, Your Excellency Maitreya. In fact, I am here today because I have a very important matter to discuss with you."

Shiraishi sat on the cushion prepared by the maid and glanced at Maitreya, the witch sitting inside the gauze curtain.

The other party sat there upright, the curve was hazy, and the surrounding air was affected by her, and it became very quiet.

"Please speak."

Maitreya pondered for a while. Although she didn't know what Shiraishi was going to say next, it must be related to the transformation of the country of ghosts.

Although she is not very interested in the government affairs of the country of ghosts, if Shiraishi wants to transform the country of ghosts, she needs to deal with officials and nobles of the country of ghosts, and those officials and nobles are the faithful believers of witches. It was very easy for her to know what was going on outside.

No matter how bad it is, Uchiha Sosuke and Uchiha Miyoko will regularly send some information to her, so that she can understand the changes and development of the country of ghosts.

For Shiraishi, Maitreya is more grateful and curious.

In this ninja world, where classes and bloodlines are strictly distinct, Shiraishi is the first person to open up a lot of educational resources to commoners.

Ninja Village opens educational resources just to cultivate ninjas, and the scope of benefit is only Ninja Village.

The opening of Baishi's educational resources is devoted to the entire country of ghosts, from cities to small towns, from small towns to more remote villages, rather than specializing in a single area.

"I intend to co-organize the army of the country of ghosts and set up a unified military department. I wonder what Your Excellency Maitreya thinks?"

Shiraishi raised his head and looked at Maitreya behind the gauze curtain.

"Unified military?"

Miller was a little puzzled by this statement.

"yes."

"If I'm not mistaken, what Mr. Shiraishi said should be a group of soldiers and ninjas composed of ordinary people. Is that what he meant?"

"That's it. What does Your Excellency Maitreya think?"

Shiraishi nodded, and that was exactly what he meant.

"Can you tell me the reason for this?"

Maitreya was thinking, but did not give an answer.

"The system of one country, one village in the five major countries must be well understood by Your Excellency Maitreya."

"Understood."

The system of one country, one village in the five countries has far-reaching influence.

In the past Warring States era, ninjas were mercenary groups that existed in the form of families, and soldiers from ordinary people joined in the conquests between major countries.

At that time, ninjas did not belong to a certain country. For money, ninjas often traveled around the ninja world to find suitable buyers.

After the establishment of the one country, one village system, the ninja village was established, and the ninja had the ownership of the country.

But even so, ninjas and ordinary soldiers exist separately and independently, neither the daimyo nor the five shadows have integrated these two forces.

After all, after the establishment of the Ninja Village, ordinary soldiers became the gatekeepers and did not participate in the war.

The war in the ninja village is the theme of the current era.

"The current ninja village seems to have become a member of the country, but in fact, there is always a 'class' gap between ninjas and ordinary people. This system seems to make the ninja village and the country form a whole, but The development of Shinobi Village is still subject to the financial assistance of daimyo and nobles. If the daimyo and nobles want to get involved in the development of Shinobi Village, they will be rejected by Shinobi Village itself, preventing power from falling into the hands of daimyo and nobles. Therefore, in essence , or the form of 'employment', but compared to the Warring States period, there is a 'long-term contract' that is more humane and stable."

Hearing what Shiraishi said, Maitreya nodded slightly, thinking too.

Although what Shiraishi said was a bit obscure, he probably understood what Maitreya meant.

To put it simply, the Ninja Village and the country are still not a whole, but interests and survival issues force them to unite.

If one day this 'interest' is disconnected, the one country, one village system will cease to exist.

For example, when the economy of one of the five major countries has completely collapsed, and the ninjas in the ninja village are not engaged in production and cannot survive, they will make a new choice and choose a better 'buyer' at that time.

This is what Shiraishi calls a 'long-term contract'.

It's just a contract, not a final ownership.

Because this part of the power is not only reused by the daimyo, but also feared by the daimyo of various countries. In many cases, the development of the Ninja Village is limited economically, and a certain right of speech is obtained to influence the thoughts of the Five Shadows.

After all, ninjas are also flesh and blood, and they need someone to provide food, medicine, money and houses to meet material and spiritual needs.

And these are precisely what the daimyo and nobles can do.

Ninja Village is an existence that is not only within the national system, but is feared and rejected by noble classes such as daimyo and nobles.

And Shinobu Village is worried that the daimyo will use the resources at hand to win over the people inside the village, so that the power will be divided into the hands of the daimyo.

Ninja Village is feared by daimyo and nobles.

At the same time, Shinobu Village was afraid of the daimyo and nobles intervening in the internal development.

"That's why Mr. Shiraishi intends to integrate the military power of the country of ghosts?"

"A complete military force is the best guarantee for maintaining the country's economy and politics."

"Mr. Shiraishi's idea is really different... Well, it seems that there is no problem, I will let the following people cooperate."

Miller said very simply.

Shiraishi was slightly taken aback.

"Your Excellency Maitreya, is there no problem in agreeing so quickly?"

This was a little different from what Shiraishi expected.

There were still a lot of things he didn't say in his stomach, but Maitreya agreed so happily, disrupting his rhythm.

No matter what, he should keep a certain amount of vigilance to prevent him from taking control of the country.

"No problem, the witch's spiritual vision can see many things that ordinary people can't see, such as the good and evil of human beings."

"...Do you mean the way you look when you're undressed?"

Shiraishi made a metaphor that he thought was more vivid.

"Mr. Shiraishi, please don't say such things in a sacred shrine."

"Ah, sorry for being too quick."

Shiraishi apologized.

"It's okay, does Mr. Shiraishi have anything else to ask?"

Miller said he didn't care.

"It doesn't matter. I heard that Your Excellency Maitreya has been living in the shrine for a long time, and he doesn't leave much. Wouldn't he feel depressed staying here?"

Shiraishi brought up a topic that had nothing to do with business.

"If you want to say you are depressed, you will feel depressed. But it's very troublesome to go out casually."

Miller answered casually.

"trouble?"

"Because every time I see a person, the scene of that person dying will appear in front of me. Even if I was in a good mood at the beginning, I saw people who died in various ways and died tragically at a certain moment in the future. I'm in a bad mood. Instead of that, it's better to stay in the shrine."

"That's it."

Shiraishi didn't think that Maitreya didn't want to go out because of this kind of thing.

Thinking of it this way, suddenly the profession of a witch is not a good one.

But what is the so-called predicting the future, it is probably some kind of technique.

Shiraishi did not investigate this matter with Maitreya, and he was not interested in the so-called future.

After getting the answer he wanted, Shiraishi left the shrine.

◎

With Maitreya's approval, Shiraishi began a drastic military reform in the country of ghosts.

In fact, this matter is not complicated at all. It is simple, that is, the organization that Shiraishi belongs to, and the original army of the country of ghosts, into a whole.

Although they are integrated into a whole, the two sides have only one common name, and the assigned jobs are still the same as before, and there is no difference.

This was something that Shiraishi had thought about a long time ago.

It's just that at that time, he needed to be familiar with the political environment of the country of ghosts, so he didn't make this suggestion rashly.

Now that the time is ripe, the original organization can be converted into the military department of the country of ghosts, which is regarded as the official status of the country of ghosts, and it is no longer a civil organization. When doing some things, it can also save a lot of trouble.

In order to facilitate Shiraishi's actions, Maitreya Miko also gave him the official position of the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Ghosts, but did not declare it to the public. After all, Konoha's identity as a traitor was really not suitable for such a high-profile appearance.

Prior to this, the country of ghosts did not have the position of Minister of Military Affairs. It was Shiraishi who proposed the plan of military unification, which was proposed by Maitreya and placed in the official position.

"I didn't expect you to become a senior official of the land of ghosts, Xiao Baishi, congratulations."

Shiraishi, who came to talk with Miyoko Uchiha, saw that the other party was sitting in the guest room, kneeling here, wearing a gorgeous and colorful kimono, holding a paper fan in his hand, and he didn't look like he was smiling at all. A middle-aged woman with a twenty-year-old daughter.

"Aunt Miyoko, don't you also have a temporary post in the country of ghosts?"

Shiraishi remembered that Miyoko was an official in the country of ghosts, and there were also temporary posts, although they used a pseudonym.

"It can't be compared to yours. After all, our husband and wife are businessmen, and making money is the main business. Also, you don't have to be so outspoken, you can actually call me mother. Anyway, you and Liuli will get married sooner or later, I really want to hurry up. Hold my grandson."

Miyoko seems to be implying something crazy.

Shiraishi didn't know how to interface.

Miyoko laughed for a while, then asked:

"Then Xiao Baishi came to me this time, do you have anything to ask?"

"About Maitreya."

"Mitch Maitreya? What's wrong with her?"

Miyoko tilted her head.

"I didn't expect Maitreya Maiden to give me such an important official position at first. Aunt Miyoko, have you known Maitreya Maiden for a long time?"

"It turned out to be because of this. Well, Maitreya and I have known each other for a long time. She feels that she doesn't care about anything. She is very ethereal and clean. It is not right to say that she is not familiar with the world. She understands the laws of everything in the world better than anyone else. It's like I'm not interested in many things. When I came here with Cansuke, it was similar to Xiao Shiraishi. Probably it has something to do with the unique beliefs and culture of this country~www.wuxiamtl.com~Using the five countries In contrast, the existence of this country itself is very strange.”

Miyoko frowned in confusion.

"makes sense."

Shiroishi smiled bitterly.

The country of ghosts is an unknown country with a unique culture of witches. All officials and superiors of nobles are witches.

It has always been so.

It's a country that doesn't feel like a country at all.

It is completely wrapped in the skin of the country, and its essence is to worship witches, and it is the same as the gathering place for believers who believe in witches.

Even in extremely remote mountain villages, there are many glorious deeds of witches circulating. It is conceivable that the erosiveness of this culture and belief is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The coverage of even the surrounding small countries may have been affected to some extent.

There was not much about the land of ghosts and the witch in the information that the live gnat gave him. It seemed that he could only slowly uncover the true face of the witch in the future.
