Escape From Konoha

The atmosphere in the conference room became solemn again, filled with the intense smell of gunpowder.

Even in the face of Mizuki's Mizukage, Oni no Kuni's attitude is extremely tough.

Seeing this, Mifune knew that things couldn't go in an unknown direction. Moreover, the main purpose of this Five Shadows Conference was to reconcile the conflict between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Ghosts, not to let people who don't communicate much. The two countries continue to create contradictions and estrangements.

Adhering to the concept of 'harmony', Mifune opened his mouth to dissuade him: "Your Excellency Mizukage and Your Excellency Shiraishi, please calm down. Now the result of the vote is very obvious, and I personally feel that Your Excellency Mizukage's point of view is relatively objective. Take a step back, and maybe both parties can be satisfied.”

Shiraishi glanced at Mifune and said to himself: "As we all know, our country of ghosts is a small country, and it is precisely because a small country has no international status that Sha Yin initially ignored the warnings from the military of the country of ghosts, aggression on the territory of the country, and deter it with powerful force.”

"But now I think that no one will underestimate the military power of the country of ghosts anymore. Your Excellency Shiraishi cannot completely deny this."

Mifune said.

"Of course, this is the result of years of development in the country of ghosts. But it doesn't mean that the wealth of the country of ghosts will not be coveted by outsiders. Sand Yin's undeclared war this time is an example. Therefore, to prevent the same Things are happening again, and a certain restraint must be made on the Land of Wind."

"Clamp?"

Chiyo frowned and looked at Shiraishi.

Baishi nodded and continued to make his own remarks: "Fengjian City is the gateway connecting the middle and northwest of the country of wind, and only when it is brought into the hands of the kingdom of ghosts, will Shayin cast his arms against the rat, and dare not use troops against the kingdom of ghosts easily. This is for the sake of peace between the two countries."

"This kind of thing is absolutely impossible. The Kingdom of Wind will not give up Fengjian City. If the Kingdom of Ghosts is determined, then the Kingdom of Wind can only use force to retake Fengjian City."

Once the Kingdom of Ghosts takes control of Fengjian City, it means that the central part of the Kingdom of Winds is directly open to the Kingdom of Ghosts. Once the war breaks out, the ninja troops of the Kingdom of Ghosts can drive straight in and enter the Kingdom of Wind. There was extensive destruction in the territory, resulting in a large number of casualties and damage to buildings.

At that time, the Kingdom of Wind would undoubtedly appear extremely passive.

Just like the country of rain during the war.

"As far as I know, Sha Yin has not paid off a huge debt to the country of money-losing ghosts."

Shiraishi mentioned this.

Chiyo had already made a statement about this: "Don't worry about this matter, the arrears will be returned to the Kingdom of Ghosts according to the interest within half a month. In the northwest region of the country, the country of wind can only give up the area close to the kingdom of bears and the kingdom of seclusion, and the rest is powerless."

In general, the Northwest region actually has almost no effect on the Land of Wind.

Not only is it sparsely populated and the buildings are seriously aging, it is also the most serious area in the Land of Winds with water shortage and lack of vegetation coverage.

She didn't know the purpose of the land of ghosts asking for that area, but in order to ensure the safety of Fengjian City, there must be an area in the northwest region that is controlled by the land of wind, so that in the future when the war is uncertain in the future, let the The Land of Wind occupies a certain degree of initiative, rather than being completely passive.

In this way, Chiyo is also considering that after returning, he will set up a long-term garrison in the northwest of the country of wind to monitor every move of the country of ghosts.

"Then what if the Kingdom of Wind undeclared war against the Kingdom of Ghosts again?"

Shiraishi asked.

"For the sake of future peace between the two countries, the Land of Winds promises that nothing like this will happen again."

"But I can't trust Sa Yin's credibility. I won't joke about the safety of the people in my country. You are the ones who made the mistake first, and you must explain it."

"Then what do you want? The Kingdom of Wind will not accept it if Feng Jiancheng is given up."

Chiyo also calmed down, and did not get angry because of Shiraishi's repeated progress.

After the previous proposal by Yakura, the country of Oni is already compromising the conditions.

Now it is nothing more than mutual concessions between the two parties, and constantly add and delete on the original compensation conditions, until a result that both parties are satisfied with occurs, they can sign the agreement.

But... thinking about it carefully, Chiyo still felt a little heartache.

No matter how barren, the northwest area of ​​the Kingdom of Wind is also the land that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Wind, but now the entire northwest has fallen into the hands of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and looking at the current situation of the Kingdom of Ghosts, if Shayin does not make concessions, The Kingdom of Oni will not sign the agreement at all.

All in all, it is necessary to compress the compensation conditions to an acceptable level for the Land of Wind.

Feng Jian City is the last bottom line of the Land of Wind.

This city cannot be controlled by the land of ghosts.

Shiraishi glanced at Chiyo, then leaned on the seat and said, "The land sixty miles north of Kazami Castle will be ceded to the Kingdom of Ghosts. At the same time, the troops of the Kingdom of Ghosts will be stationed in Kazami Castle. I agree to this condition, The country of ghosts can negotiate with the country of wind."

"Garrisoning troops in Fengjian City?"

Chiyo stared at Shiraishi vigilantly.

Shiraishi said with his expression unchanged: "Yes, in view of this unjustified aggression by the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Ghosts must have some initiative in order to have a sense of security. In this way, the Kingdom of Wind can be somewhat scruples and avoid the conflict between the two countries. A second conflict occurs."

"No, this condition is too harsh. The land sixty miles north of Fengjian City can be used as a reference, but no troops from the Kingdom of Ghosts can appear around Fengjian City."

Chiyo refused.

To have the country of ghosts garrison in Fengjian City is equivalent to putting the key to the door of one's own house in the hands of another country.

"The country of ghosts will retreat another twenty miles in exchange for the right to garrison the city of Fengjian."

Shiraishi tested the bottom line in Chiyo's heart.

Chiyo still shook his head firmly, expressing denial.

This is a matter of principle, and it is not negotiable how much land the country of ghosts will retreat.

Chiyo's resolute attitude of refusal made Shiraishi a little silent, his eyes flickered, and he began to recalculate.

After a long time, Shiraishi said again: "Then, the Ninja of the Land of Ghosts, how about giving up all quests and commissioning activities, plus this condition?"

"No... what did you say?"

Just as Chiyo was about to veto it, she suddenly reacted, staring wide-eyed at Shiraishi, who had an indifferent face.

Ninja in the land of ghosts, give up all quest activities?

Mission entrustment is undoubtedly one of the important sources of income for Ninja villages in various countries, but if it is to make money, it is not necessary to do so.

That is task delegation, and there is another important role - to demonstrate national strength.

Different from the chaos of the Warring States period, in the era of one country and one village, a relatively mature Ninja village system has been established.

The power of the ninja is linked to the power of the nation.

The money obtained from the entrustment of the mission can not only be used to develop the village, but also can be used to evaluate the gap between the military power of various countries according to the cost of the entrustment.

Although this assessment is not completely correct, it has a very high reference value.

For example, Konoha, as the biggest winner of the third ninja war, can still maintain the final winner status in the case of one enemy three, which means that the comprehensive strength of Konoha ninja is higher than that of other ninja villages .

When people encounter difficulties, their first reaction will definitely be towards Konoha, and then they will consider the rest of Shinobi Village.

And Konoha will also use this to spread the prestige of Ninja Village and the country, and even affect other countries.

Therefore, task delegation can not only be used as a source of money, but also an activity for the country to demonstrate its military power.

If the country of ghosts gave up this right, it would mean that the ninjas of the country of ghosts not only lost an important source of income, but also lost a major opportunity to expand the influence of the country itself.

With Chiyo's attitude, Rao couldn't help but hesitate. She was a little confused about what bad idea was brewing in Shiraishi's heart.

No matter how you look at it, it is harmful to the country of ghosts. What is he calculating in his heart?

Not only Chiyo, but also Raikage, Mizukage, and Hokage on the side began to ponder, thinking about what Shiraishi's purpose was.

It's just that no matter how much they guess, they can't understand that Shiraishi is conditional on giving up all mission entrustments, just to get the right to garrison Kazami Castle.

However, if this is the case, it is not impossible to support the country of ghosts.

This is the thought of the rest of the shadows.

The country of ghosts has given up all tasks, which means that the ninja employment market will still be divided by the five major countries, and the country of ghosts has not intervened in the ranks of sharing this cake.

The prestige of the five major countries will not be weakened much.

At most, there will be some innocuous benefits, which are earned by the country of ghosts.

As for the feelings of the land of wind, it is no longer within the consideration of the rest of the shadows.

Before, in order to maintain balance, they would give up space for Shiraishi and Chiyo to argue, and they would sit back and watch.

However, after Shiraishi threw out this condition, even Rizao, who had a serious estrangement with Shiraishi, gradually gravitated towards Shiraishi in his heart.

The rise of the country of ghosts will more or less crowd out the mission commission market of the five major countries.

If the Kingdom of Ghosts gave up this part of the market and let go of personal hatred, out of consideration between countries, it would indeed make the shadows feel the sincerity of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

There is evidence to advance and retreat, there is no excessive self-forbearance, but there is no excessive greed, everything is just right.

Chiyo was also quite moved, but in exchange for the garrison right of Kazami Castle, Chiyo was a little embarrassed.

Just when Chiyo was thinking about it, the fourth Raikage said: "If the country of ghosts can give up all the tasks of the ninja in the future, then, on behalf of Yunyin, I support the decision of the country of ghosts and ask the country of wind to see the castle. The right to garrison. After all, Shayin has a history, and the reason why the country of ghosts has no sense of security can also stand.”

There is no way to stop the rise of the country of ghosts.

All countries are trying to stop losses, especially the five major countries.

The country of ghosts gave up the task delegation activity, which means that the important activities of the five major countries to demonstrate their national strength have not been greatly violated.

Even though he knew that the country of Oni had his own set of considerations, the fourth Raikage didn't want to miss such a good opportunity in vain, so he immediately expressed his support.

Seeing Yunyin, who was originally neutral, immediately turned to the country of ghosts, coupled with Konoha who had already supported the country of ghosts, Chiyo's heart suddenly sank.

She looked at Yakura again, and found that the other party's face was also quite moving, and the unpleasantness of arguing with Shiraishi just now was swept away.

This made Chiyo smile even more bitterly.

Should it be said that the country of ghosts has great courage, or should it be praised for the balance of the other party's strategy, and the play is very smooth?

Is this an attempt to win over the rest of the shadows to put pressure on the Land of Wind?

This situation is completely reversed.

In this way, it would be even more difficult for Sha Yin to gain the support of the rest of the shadows.

Do you want to give up all the quest activities like the country of ghosts?

This is simply impossible.

"I need to ask the daimyo for instructions."

Chiyo sighed and didn't finish her sentence.

Before coming, although the Daimyo had given him the power to make his own decisions, the development of things was a little unexpected, and Chiyo thought it would be better to ask the Daimyo for instructions.

Mifune said at this time: "There is a fast communication device in the castle, which can directly contact the Daming Mansion of the Land of Winds."

Chiyo nodded, looked at Shiraishi and said, "How about I give an answer tomorrow?"

Shiraishi was not dissatisfied with this.

"I'm not short on this day, please."

◎

In a silent and empty cave.

The color of the huge half-length humanoid is very similar to the body and dead wood. There are many columnar objects standing behind the dead wood giant, with a ferocious image and a deep breath.

In the front, the same wood like fingers also stood out, standing out of the ground.

On the fingers like dead wood, everyone stood in a position.

Oni and Itachi stand on the fingers of the deadwood giant in solid form, while the others stand in rainbow-like phantom bodies.

Each person made a seal with both hands and connected the Chakra in his body with the dead wood giant, the outsider golem.

In the mouth of the outsider golem, a huge chakra emerged in the shape of a dragon, wrapping the body of a ninja, and floating in the air.

From the ninja's body, a red chakra full of evil aura was continuously transmitted into the outsider golem.

As the last red chakra was extracted from the ninja's body, the chakra dragon retracted into the outsider golem, the ninja's body lost its support, fell to the ground at once, and twitched twice in pain on the ground , lost its breath.

"call……"

I don't know who exhaled, as if to vent all the exhaustion accumulated these days.

"Is it five days or six days? The body is already stiff."

Twisted his neck, making a crackling sound, and the voice of the ghost shark was full of complaints.

Nagato, who appeared in his real body, didn't care about the ghost shark's complaint, he just said: "In this way, the sealing work of the first head-tailed beast and the five-tailed beast is completed, thank you for your hard work."

"Although I had expected it, I didn't expect that sealing the tailed beast would be such a troublesome job."

It was Orochimaru who spoke.

Nagato replied: "It's inevitable that I'm a little unskilled when using it for the first time. After that, I will make some adjustments. And the more tailed beasts are collected, the shorter the sealing time will be."

"If you say that, I really want to see the scene after collecting the nine-tailed beasts."

Orochimaru's mouth cracked open, revealing a malicious smile, and his eyes were full of interest.

In the pursuit of immortality, such an interesting thing is worth remembering for a while.

He wanted to know how far Akatsuki could go in the future.

What kind of new pattern will be produced in the future when it collides with the five major countries.

The current ninja world, in Orochimaru's view, is just a pool of stagnant water, and there is no desire to stir him up at all.

"Yes, and such a future will not be too far away."

Nagato responded affirmatively, with strong confidence in his tone.

At this moment, Hei Jue, who was mixed with Bai Jue, suddenly said, "Tukage got the news of the disappearance of the five-tailed man Zhuli, and left the country of iron, and is now on his way back to Yanyin."

After Nagato listened, he looked at the ghost shark and Itachi, and asked, "Is there nothing left?"

Itachi didn't answer in silence, but the ghost shark answered enthusiastically: "Don't worry, chief. After many days, Iwain just remembered to investigate, and it was too late. Moreover, there was still Bai Jue behind to clean up the traces. The hidden pursuit ability has not yet been found on us."

"That's good. It can't attract the attention of the five major countries yet. This time it is a test of the water. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the results."

Nagato is not stingy with his praise.

Immediately, he turned his head, looked towards Hei Jue and Bai Jue, and continued to ask, "What was the result of the Five Shadows talks?"

Hei Jue replied: "There is no way to find out. Once you get too close to it, you will be sensed by Chiba Shiroishi's perceptual ninjutsu. It seems that he does not want us to know the details of the Five Shadows meeting."

"It's really prudent. But for us, whether we know it or not, it doesn't have much impact. The existing pattern of the ninja world will definitely change with the previous war between the kingdom of wind and the kingdom of ghosts. It's an indisputable fact."

In contrast, Akatsuki was still unable to see the light, which made Nagato very regretful.

The rain country, which is poor and white, can't stand too much toss at all.

Moreover, there are three big countries of fire, earth, and wind around. Now that there is a special case like the country of ghosts, they will not allow a second small country to rise.

If it was him, he would naturally not be afraid, but sometimes he had to make some compromises and concessions for the Land of Rain.

When a person lives in the world, he always cares about something and protects something.

There is a taboo in everyone's heart that no one can violate.

"Yeah, and what the five major countries don't know is that the Kingdom of Ghosts has already secretly subdued the Kingdom of Snow, the Kingdom of You, and most of the Kingdom of Bears, including Xingnin Village, is also under the control of the Kingdom of Ghosts. Wait until the right time. When the time is right, these three countries will support the country of ghosts together. In the country of snow, there is an armament production factory that even I can't sneak in. This time, the country of the wind is fighting, and the weapons and equipment of the country of ghosts are still hidden. A lot has not been taken out.”

Hei Jue's voice became low, and his tone was full of fear.

"Chiba Shiroishi has always liked to watch three steps, one step at a time, not counting the other ninjas in the country of ghosts, just him, Uchiha Ruri and Hyuga Ayane, at least 15,000 ninjas are needed to successfully encircle and suppress them. .Everyone who takes it out can occupy a pivotal position in the frontal battlefield. The Five Shadows seriously underestimated the strength of the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Taking into account additional factors such as morale, environment, tactics, etc., 15,000 ninjas are still a minimum estimate.

Nagato is very clear about this.

Hearing Nagato's words, all Akatsuki's members fell silent.

Itachi, in particular, was even more surprised. He knew that Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri, who could defeat Sandyin in the frontal battle, were very powerful, but now hearing the evaluation of the leader Nagato, at least 15,000 people were needed. Only ninjas can carry out the siege of the three of them.

Is this an exaggeration?

Fifteen thousand ninjas, what is that concept?

In a large Ninja village, the sum of all ninjas is even more than a few.

Among them, not to mention the chunin, there are not a few Shangnin.

Even so, it would take 15,000 ninjas to encircle and suppress...

Thinking of Nagato's strength, there is no need to lie, that is to say, this is true and reliable information.

Itachi took a breath of air, such a terrible and dangerous existence must be reported to the village.

Otherwise, Konoha will definitely suffer a big loss against the Kingdom of Ghosts next time.

What he disclosed was the information of the country of ghosts, so it should not be considered a violation of the agreement with Madara.

Moreover, Nagato said this, making Itachi wonder if he did this on purpose, and let his 'spy' pass this information to Konoha, so as to take the country of ghosts more seriously.

The more you think about it, the more likely it is.

Because in the organization, in addition to Madara, Nagato is also an insider who knows the truth about him.

Even Madara seemed to be in awe of Nagato.

Is it possible to think that Nagato's strength is still above Madara?

"Mister Weasel."

Orochimaru's sad voice came.

"What's the matter, Senior Orochimaru?"

Itachi put away the complicated thoughts in his heart and turned his head to look at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue and licked it, his disgusting, slippery gaze swept back and forth over Itachi's body, and finally shifted his gaze to the dead five-tailed man Zhuri-Han on the ground.

"Can I ask you to temporarily seal this corpse? I will ask you to collect it later. My technique of reincarnation from the dirty earth still lacks the corpses of some powerful ninjas as experimental materials."

Itachi nodded in disgust, agreeing.

"I know."

Of course, he had heard of the art of reincarnation from dirty soil.

He didn't expect Orochimaru to research this forbidden technique of playing with corpses in addition to pursuing longevity.

But thinking of Orochimaru's unrestricted behavior and trampling on human ethics, I don't feel anything at all.

It's a venomous snake in human skin.

"Thank you very much, this way, we have more chips on our side."

After speaking, Orochimaru released the seal, and the rainbow-like phantom disappeared from the fingers of the outsider golem.

Scorpion snorted coldly and followed Orochimaru away.

Seeing that the topic was over, Nagato glanced at the people who stayed, and said:

"Then, the sealing work this time will end here. After that, please make persistent efforts to fight for Akatsuki's lofty ideals. Disband."

After he finished speaking, he unlocked the spell, and at the same moment, he disappeared with the outsider golem and Xiao Nan.

The figures of Bai Jue, Hei Jue~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and Bei Liuhu also disappeared from the white mist caused by the unraveling of the spell and left this place.

In the end, only Itachi and Oni shark remained.

Itachi walked in front of Han's body, took out a blank scroll, and prepared to seal Han's body inside.

The ghost shark walked behind Itachi, pondered for a while and said, "Well, I don't know if I should say this, Itachi, you'd better be careful about that guy, Orochimaru, he is different from Beiluhu, he is very dangerous Existence. If you die, I'll have to find another teammate again."

"Thank you for your concern. Next, we will act separately for the time being. You also have something you want to do."

Itachi sealed the corpse of the hero, as if thinking about the ghost shark.

The ghost shark shrugged helplessly, and there is really no such thing as what he wants to do.

But I also know that Itachi seems to have some personal affairs to deal with next, and Ghost Shark understands.

Both are 'spy', there are some commonalities between them.
