Escape From Konoha Chapter 163

In the annex, Shiraishi received envoys from various countries here.

But the messengers received were limited to the messengers of the big countries, as well as the messengers of the neutral country of iron. As for the rest of the messengers of the small countries, it was handled by the government, and there was no need for him, the military minister, to come forward in person.

Seeing Bai Shi, the military leader of the Kingdom of Ghosts, finally come forward, the envoys of the great power and the Kingdom of Iron also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that their entanglement these days is still somewhat useful, and they finally forced each other out to meet.

But with that comes great pressure.

Chiba Shiraishi, before the Wind Country War, can be said to be a little-known ninja. Even if Konoha is defined as a dangerous S-class defecting ninja, due to the serious lack of data, the information collected by various countries is very limited.

In contrast, Uchiha Liuli and Hyuga Ayane, who have a background of famous families, are more worthy of attention.

But with the end of the Wind Nation War, the pair became famous internationally.

The opponent is not only the military leader of the country of ghosts, but also the supreme military leader of the country of ghosts, and he is also a powerful ninja no weaker than the Five Shadows.

They are just ordinary people, although they know that the other party will not use force in this situation and ignore the rules, but when they sit down, they still feel a lot of pressure.

In the face of ninjas, ordinary people are weaker in momentum.

Even though they were in high positions and were of the powerful class, Shiraishi was not a ninja in the general sense, and just sitting there made the atmosphere in the room dull.

After Shiraishi sat down, there was neither joy nor sadness on his face, like a poker face, without showing any emotion.

After a brief silence, Shiraishi glanced at the envoys of the great powers and the envoys of the Iron Kingdom who were also seated in his own position, and then slowly said, "I already understand your intentions. Therefore, after the military and With the unanimous consultation of the government, we decided to make some changes to the original conditions, completely abandoning the small country market, and the arms trade in the country of ghosts is very unreasonable. And since this is the initiative of the countries, we must let the country of ghosts make concessions , countries must also show a certain sincerity.”

To put it simply, the country of ghosts can make concessions on the export of arms to small countries, but if countries want the country of ghosts to sign an arms agreement, they must also give up some interests and give compensation to the country of ghosts. The so-called exchange of interests.

"How does the country of ghosts plan to change the conditions?"

A messenger also kept his expression unchanged, as if he had expected this kind of scene, and asked Shiraishi.

"We will send arms to small countries without ninja villages, but for small countries that have established ninja villages, the ghost country will refuse arms transactions."

Shiraishi glanced at everyone, his eyes calm.

Although the military industry has shown its glory, the military power of completely banning ninjas is still slightly insufficient in all aspects.

Moreover, many high-level executives in many countries are not brainless idiots. Although the power of hot weapons is very visual, it is still far inferior to ninjas in terms of versatility.

Therefore, the military power of ninjas is still the mainstream of the ninja world. Just because of some of them, it was replaced by the military industry.

This is also the reason why Shiraishi made this condition.

A small country with Ninja Village has a certain self-protection power.

Even in the country of grass, which is often used as a wall between great powers, there is an official ninja organization like Grassyin Village. It is enough to prove that this country is not useless.

On the contrary, if there is no military force at all, it can only be ravaged and manipulated by great powers.

These small countries without ninja villages undoubtedly have a greater demand for arms in the land of ghosts than small countries with ninja villages.

In doing so, the violent conflict with the Iron Nation over the arms trade can be eased.

Although the military power of the Iron Country is far inferior to that of the Ghost Country, the attitude of a neutral country is also one of the factors to consider.

In the future, there may be places that need to be entrusted to the Iron Country.

The ninja forces of the traditional five countries have already been greatly offended, so if the neutral samurai group also invests in the traditional five countries, then the country of ghosts will be truly isolated and helpless in the world.

The Iron Country only needs to maintain its original neutrality, which is what Shiraishi needs to do.

Eating alone will inevitably be targeted and suppressed by various countries.

In addition to interests, there are also human feelings.

Sure enough, after Shiraishi gave this condition, the messengers from several countries began to chat in whispers.

Although this condition proposed by Shiraishi was a bit beyond their expectations, it was not unacceptable.

A small country without Shinobi Village cannot pose a real threat even if it obtains the weapons of the country of ghosts.

Ninjas are not only used for frontal combat, assassination, espionage, but also to threaten the growth of small countries, but these things cannot be communicated on the surface.

And the small country of Ninja Village, which has lost the supply of arms from the country of ghosts, cannot expand its military force drastically, nor can it threaten the status of a big country, making them have a strong resistance to big countries.

"Of course, the arms and weapons sold to the small countries of Wu Ren Village will only sell the first-generation standard weapons for the time being, and the new weapons will not be sold to these small countries for the time being."

Those first-generation standard weapons were originally only weapons that were seldom used today by the army of Ghost Country.

Selling these eliminated weapons to the small country of Innocent Village can also dispel the suspicions of the country of ghosts in a short period of time, and also allow the country of ghosts to maintain high financial returns.

"What kind of assistance does the country of ghosts need from us?"

a messenger asked.

In front of them are the concessions made by the country of ghosts, and they, who are also big countries, cannot let the country of ghosts suffer in vain, otherwise it will be detrimental to the international balance.

"Reduce tariffs on the country of ghosts. In addition, allow the debt collectors and wandering witches of the country of ghosts to legally enter the large and neutral countries."

Shiraishi made these requests without hesitation.

In the past, debt collectors and wandering witches in the land of ghosts could not enter the big country area, and they rarely entered the land of iron.

Every time you enter, you have to go through strict inspections, and your actions are also greatly restricted.

Many times, some debt collectors who avoid debt problems hide in the five major countries, and it is difficult for debt collectors to go to collect debts, because they will be restricted by the ninjas of the big countries.

After all, it is the chassis of the rest of the great powers, and the country of ghosts has to consider the issue of territorial sovereignty to some extent, and dare not intervene excessively.

"The first condition is acceptable, but the extent of tariff reduction needs to be discussed. As for the second clause..."

What is the nature of debt collectors and wandering witches? As the high-level officials of the country, they naturally know what role these people play in the country of ghosts.

"The Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association has accumulated a lot of unpaid debts, and many of those who owe money hid in large countries, making it impossible for debt collectors to successfully collect debts. I think this condition is very reasonable."

"If that's the case, then there's no need to bring the wandering witch together..."

"The Wandering Miko is good at medical ninjutsu, and the debt collector is likely to conflict with the debtor during the debt collection process. The Wandering Miko can provide medical support to the injured debt collectors in time. Or, you can represent your own. The state, should we bear the medical responsibility of our debt collectors?"

Shiraishi asked lightly.

Shiraishi's words left the messengers slightly speechless.

Although they knew that debt collectors and wandering witches were stuffed into their country, it was definitely not for the reasons mentioned above.

Engaging in espionage work is the real purpose of the country of ghosts.

But the country of ghosts only needs to bite to death, and it is difficult for them to refute.

"My conditions are only these two points. If you agree, we will immediately sign an arms restriction treaty for the small country. If it is not possible, the country of ghosts can only decide the future arms market of the ninja world in its own way."

"Can you give us a moment to think about this?"

A messenger asked, and the other ninjas expressed the same meaning.

Tariff reduction is a necessary condition, but in their country, to legally stuff debt collectors and wandering witches in the land of ghosts, they need to think carefully and not make hasty decisions.

"Okay, is three days enough?"

Shiraishi considered it for a while and gave a time limit.

The messengers did not embarrass Shiraishi, and nodded in agreement.

"In that case, let's negotiate in three days."

Shiraishi also sighed in relief.

But this is just the beginning. There is still a lot of rhetoric about the extent of tariff reduction. However, such as tariff reduction, there is no need for him, the military leader, to negotiate in person, and will be handed over to specialized personnel to negotiate with various countries.

"Besides, there is one more thing to say."

Before everyone was about to leave, the messenger from the Land of Wind suddenly spoke.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Standing up, Shiraishi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the envoy of the Kingdom of Wind.

The other party raised his head and looked at Shiraishi, and said, "About the fact that the kingdom of bears has become a vassal of the kingdom of ghosts..."

"This is a private matter between the kingdom of ghosts and the kingdom of bears, and it is also the decision of the new daimyo of the kingdom of bears. It has nothing to do with the third country. We have no reason to explain it to outsiders."

Shiraishi replied calmly.

"But…"

"Does the land of wind plan to continue to cede land to the land of ghosts? Although it is only a useless desert, we will also adhere to the principle of not rejecting anyone who comes."

What the envoy of the Kingdom of Wind wanted to say was directly blocked by Shiraishi's words, and there was a hint of warning in his eyes.

The envoy of the country of wind suddenly turned blue and white, and finally sighed without saying anything.

The envoys from other countries also had different expressions and wanted to say something, but in the end, like the envoys of the Kingdom of Wind, they were very tacit and did not take the Kingdom of Ghosts into account in this matter.

Three days passed in a flash.

The messengers of the Five Great Nations and the Iron Country also brought the decisions of their respective daiming houses.

The issue of tariff reduction will be discussed according to the comprehensive national conditions of each country. This requires professionals from various countries to sit down and negotiate slowly, and there is no way to make a decision in a short time.

As for the second condition put forward by the country of ghosts, the daimyo of various countries agreed, but on the premise of agreeing, they must also restrict the debt collectors and wandering witches who enter the country.

In order to prevent the debt collectors from causing casualties in the process of debt collection, various countries will send special personnel to follow the debt collectors in the land of ghosts to supervise. And the maximum number of debt collectors stationed in major and neutral countries is five. In the same way, there can only be a limit of five wandering witches, a total of ten people, and they are also subject to the supervision of the entourage.

As for the entourage of these supervisions, they must be ninjas and samurai from various countries.

Shiraishi also readily agreed to the restrictions on the number of people put forward by the big names in various countries and signed the agreement.

Next was the issue of tariff reduction. After Shiraishi asked relevant government officials, he left the negotiating table. After all, he knows nothing about business issues, and he is completely blank about how much tariff reduction is appropriate. Besides, he didn't have much time to waste on this sort of thing.

The research materials on the reincarnation technique obtained from Lieduoguo, so as to develop a complete reincarnation ninjutsu, is what Shiraishi thinks is the most important thing at the moment.

Various technologies need to be developed, but the power of ninjas also needs to go hand in hand and cannot be left behind.

"Huh... It's finally settled. After the tariff issue is resolved, it is necessary to immediately restrict the arms trade to small countries."

Shiraishi returned to the office, took a sip of tea and said.

"But doing so may offend some small countries and affect the reputation of the country of ghosts, especially those small countries with Ninja villages."

Ayane said from the side.

"This is something that can't be helped. Moreover, this is not the decision of the ghost country family. The other big countries, including the iron country, are also witnesses. They will sign the agreement and make it public. Even if those small countries want to blame, they will also put the blame. The rest of the great powers will hate it together with the Iron Country."

Shiraishi didn't care at all.

On the contrary, in this matter, the kingdom of ghosts belongs to the persecuted side.

Although the other big countries and the country of iron also made some compromises on the interests of the country of ghosts, this compromise made Shiraishi feel uncomfortable after all.

"This is the disadvantage of eating alone. However, in this way, it is also difficult for them to point fingers at the country of ghosts on the issue of arms trade. Although the effect is much worse than expected."

Ayane said with a smile.

According to the original expectations, we should increase our efforts to infiltrate small countries, strive for harmony in diplomatic relations, and take the initiative to weaken the military power of ninjas of big countries to pave the way for future wars.

However, the country of ghosts is still unable to unify the voices of all the small countries and reverse the will of the big countries because of the lack of background. In addition, the big country and the country of iron are highly consistent on this matter, and they strongly oppose the unrestricted arms trade of the country of ghosts. Due to these reasons, the kingdom of ghosts can only endure for the time being.

"It's just a temporary compromise. Who knows how they will stumble us in the future. Having said that, the messengers of other countries have not had any problems recently, have they?"

Because he had to deal with the envoys of the big country and the iron country, Shiraishi did not have time to take care of the envoys of those small countries, and the safety of the envoys of those small countries was handed over to Ayane to manage, which was also the job of Ayane's garrison.

In order to prevent the recurrence of the farce of the Yunyin and the Hinata clan, it is necessary to strictly monitor the messengers of various countries at such a time.

"Although some envoys from small countries are a little restless, but under the supervision of the garrison, they are still under control. I have sent people to warn those envoys from small countries who have ideas. If you don't listen to the persuasion, I can only Take extreme measures to make them obedient and there will be no problems."

Ayane thought for a while and said.

Shiraishi nodded, he could understand the hardships of life in these small countries.

The battle between the great powers is definitely not the first to be affected by the great powers, but the small countries with weak surrounding military power.

The outbreak of several ninja wars also proved the authenticity of this.

It is precisely because of this that there are not a few small countries that are eager to have a strong military force.

They do not want to rely entirely on the major powers for their country's lifeline, and want their country's absolute independence in sovereignty and territory.

Once the big countries try to interfere in the internal affairs of their small countries, it means disaster will come.

However, it is difficult for a small country to survive. The country of ghosts that has just become the sixth largest country, the situation is not much better.

The Kingdom of Thunder gets what it wants, and it is difficult to use it to unite and become a shield for the Kingdom of Ghosts.

The Kingdom of Earth remained silent on the international situation, the Kingdom of Water was on the sidelines, the two kingdoms of Fire and Wind united and began to fight against the Kingdom of Ghosts, and the Kingdom of Thunder, which was the leader of the five major kingdoms, was also secretly accumulating strength, unaware of the spearhead. Which country will it point to in the next moment.

Whether to continue suppressing the country of fire or targeting the country of ghosts, Shiraishi is also unknown.

Therefore, even if Shiraishi knows the situation of these small countries, he must first consider the position of his own country, and then talk about other things.

Behind the seemingly prosperous, there is also a step-by-step crisis. A little carelessness will lead to the failure of all previous efforts.

Now is not the time to pity these small nations.

The country of ghosts must concentrate on developing itself and prepare for the war in the world of Dingding Ninja in the future.

"Next, I'm going to the laboratory to develop new techniques. I don't have time to pay attention to the outside world. Those messengers are still handed over to you to supervise, so don't make mistakes."

Shiraishi packed up the documents on the desk, sorted them out, and put them aside, planning to go to the laboratory for research on reincarnation.

"Don't worry, there is no chance for them to make trouble."

Ayane answered confidently.

When Shiraishi heard Ayane's assurance, he quickly walked out of the office and went to the place where the laboratory was.

Konoha, Naruto Building.

In the office, Ri Zhan got the documents sent from the Daming House in the Land of Fire, and achieved results in the arms trade with the Land of Ghosts, successfully restricting the arms trade from the Land of Ghosts to small countries.

In the future, the target of arms trade in the country of ghosts can only be large countries, neutral countries, and small countries with no tolerance village.

And countries such as the country of rain, the country of grass, the country of soup, etc. that have their own ninja villages, the country of ghosts will not conduct arms trade with these countries.

Although it has not been able to completely restrain the pace of the country of ghosts, it is not easy to achieve this result.

Countries have also made concessions to this end, such as reducing tariffs. This point has little to do with Konoha, and it is a problem that the Daming House needs to consider, so when Rijian looks at it, he passes by.

As for the second condition put forward by the country of ghosts, it is related to Konoha to allow the debt collectors and the wandering witches of the country of ghosts to legally enter the borders of the big country and the neutral country of the iron country.

The Daming House in the Land of Fire hopes that the Konoha Ninja Village will send suitable personnel to supervise these debt collectors and wandering witches who legally enter the country, so as to prevent these spies from the land of ghosts from stealing important information in the land of fire. Stop loss.

After reading the entire contents of the document, Hizan thought for a while, and said a sentence to the surrounding air: "Let Shikaku and Kakashi come over."

Not long after, Nara Shikuhisa, the squad leader of Shangnin, and Hatake Kakashi, the Minister of Anbu, arrived as promised.

The two walked in front of Ri Zhan, and both looked at each other, and Lu Jiu took the lead in saying, "Lord Hokage, you asked us, is there something wrong?"

Rijian pushed the document in his hand to the two of them and let them watch it.

"You all have a look at this document."

Kakashi and Kakashi lowered their heads slightly and glanced at the document handed over by Rijian together.

Soon, the contents of the document were memorized by Lujiu and Kakashi, and both of them were calm and did not show obvious emotions.

"As for the personnel who supervise the debt collectors and wandering witches in the land of ghosts, which department do you think is more appropriate to send them?"

Ri Zhan waited for the two to read it, and immediately asked this question, hoping to hear their opinions.

"Move from the ninja clan."

Shikaku glanced at Kakashi, and then said.

As the squad leader of Shangnin, Shikahisa has also heard a little about the fact that Anbu is investigating an internal spy.

It's not that they don't trust Anbu, it's that Anbu has a problem now, and no one knows if there are any spies in it. At such a time, if the spy of the country of ghosts is selected from the Anbu by coincidence, it happens to be a hit with the debt collector and the wandering witch, and it is easy to blind the eyes of Konoha and the famous palace of the country of fire.

In addition, civilian ninjas also have certain risks.

If you want to avoid all the risk minefields, you can only select supervisors from the Konoha ninja.

Kakashi had no objection to this, nodded and said: "I agree with Lu Jiu's opinion, the internal cleaning of Anbu will take several months to be fully processed, and there is no way to take out innocent members in a short period of time to supervise Debt collectors and wandering witches in the land of ghosts. Selecting supervisors from the ninja tribe can ensure the security of intelligence to the greatest extent possible."

Given Anbu's current problems, Kakashi gave the most pertinent advice.

"Since you said so, select suitable supervisors from each ninja."

Hiizhan also leaned towards Lu Jiu's view, nodded and said.

Shikaku continued to speak: "In order to better monitor this group of guests from the land of ghosts, I suggest selecting supervisors from the Hinata clan, the Inuzuka clan, the oil girl clan and the Yamanaka clan. These families are involved in intelligence gathering. , surveillance and tracking perception, have good skills."

"I'll leave this matter to you, Lu Jiu, be sure to convince the patriarchs of these ninjas."

Ri Zhan didn't think much about it, and planned to let Lu Jiu handle this matter.

"Yes, I will complete this task, Hokage-sama."

Lu Jiu nodded solemnly.

It's not a problem to persuade the oil **** and the three mountain clans. He has a strong personal relationship with the patriarchs of these three ninja clans, and the supervisors who are recruited are on average only two or three people in each family. The patriarchs will not be stingy in this regard.

The only difficulty is persuading the Hinata clan.

After the demise of the Uchiha family in Konoha, the Hyuga family is the well-deserved No. 1 giant in Konoha, and the background is also the deepest among the major ninjas.

The most important thing is that he and the current patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizu, have a general relationship, which is limited to the level of greeting each other at ordinary times. Apart from that, there is no more in-depth communication.

"Is it the Hyuga clan?"

Kakashi spoke at this time.

"What, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Kakashi, do you have another proposal?"

Kakashi asked curiously.

"No, I just want to say that the white eyes of the Hinata clan are very good at surveillance. I believe that there is no better job for this job than the Hinata clan. If the Hinata clan agrees, this task can be said to be foolproof."

"Yeah, but convincing them is not an easy job, I can only do my best."

Having said that, Lu Jiu's face is full of confidence, which shows that he has great confidence in persuading the Hinata clan.

Seeing the confidence on Lu Jiu's face, Kakashi also smiled:

"Then I wish you good luck. There are still a lot of important things to deal with in Anbu. If there is nothing else, I will leave first, Hokage-sama."

"Excuse me, Kakashi, Anbu's affairs must be dealt with as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Kakashi nodded and turned to leave.
