Escape From Konoha Chapter 312

  Chapter 312 Shiraishi and Yagura

   "How's it going, Hee?"

  In the lounge where Yun Yin was, Sidai Raikage sat on the bed with his arms folded, his eyes swept towards his guard Kami Ninki, and asked him a question.

   "Don't worry, Master Raikage, there is no one listening around."

  Nozomi sensed the surrounding environment with sensory ninjutsu, and nodded to the Fourth Raikage.

  Hearing Xi's affirmation, another guard, Shangren Darui, said: "It is obviously a neutral country, but the attitude just now was really aggressive. It feels like things have become troublesome."

  xi replied: "Don't say that, Darui, after the Five Kages Conference, it is not known whether the Oni Nation will be able to maintain its status as a neutral country. Moreover, this is the fate of the defeated country. Although Chiba Shiraishi was born in Konoha, his attitude towards war is completely different from Konoha's gentleness, but it is somewhat similar to our Yun Yin's handling style."

  Darui nodded without rebuttal.

   In the Third Ninja World War, Konoha was undoubtedly the biggest victor, but facing Sand Hidden, Iwa Hidden, and Cloud Hidden, they all broke the rules and ended the war without asking for any compensation conditions.

   But in contrast, Shiraishi, who was born in a log leaf, undoubtedly has a much more radical attitude towards the defeated country.

  No matter what, the Kingdom of Winds couldn't accept the compensation terms of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and gave the entire northwest region to the Kingdom of Ghosts in order to quell the war.

  This is also the place where the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Ghosts cannot negotiate a peace treaty.

  The two parties were at loggerheads over compensation.

   "What does the boss think should be done next?"

  Darui looked at the Fourth Raikage.

  Fourth Raikage hummed lightly, with a calm expression on his face, not at all as irritable as when he first came here during the day.

   "The kingdom of ghosts can defeat Sand Yin's ninja troops head-on this time. No matter what they rely on, the five major powers cannot sit idly by. The only thing I care about is if the kingdom of ghosts is supported, whether the kingdom of ghosts can completely disrupt the pattern of the western part of the mainland as I expect, and fall into chaos among the three kingdoms of wind, earth and ghosts."

  Strictly speaking, the rise of the Kingdom of Ghosts did not affect the Kingdom of Thunder far away on the other side of the mainland. Even if it involves interests, the western part of the mainland was originally governed by the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Thunder could not intervene deeply. Once involved, it will be jointly suppressed by Feng and Turkey.

  But now a powerful third party has emerged—the Kingdom of Ghosts, which has disrupted the balance of Feng and Tu's joint management of the western part of the mainland.

   Undoubtedly, the two great powers of wind and earth will become passive, and a little carelessness will trigger a big war.

  By that time, avoiding the three major powers of thunder, fire, and water from reaping the benefits of the fisherman may also involve other irrelevant major powers, triggering the fourth ninja world war.

   It can be said that one hair moves the whole body, and the balance is very delicate.

   With a slight touch, it may lose stability and plunge the ninja world into war again.

   In that case, it will be difficult to judge whether it is good or bad for Yun Yin.

   Just when Darui was about to say something, Xi who was on the side suddenly hissed, signaling to be quiet, and began to perform perception ninjutsu perception.

   When Zai started to use perception ninjutsu to perceive, there was a knock on the door.

   "Hey, who is it?"

   Darui asked quietly.

  Nozomi finished her perception, and said softly to Darui and Fourth Raikage, "It's Chiyo from Sand Hidden."

  Fourth Raikage was thoughtful, and ordered Xi: "Let her in."

   "Yes, Raikage-sama."

  Xi nodded, walked to the door, opened the door, and let the visitors outside come in.

   About half an hour later, Chiyo took Hakura out of Yunyin's lounge and returned to the lounge where Sayin was.

  Walking in the illuminated corridor, Chiyo was a little worried. How should I put it, the negotiation with Yunyin Fourth Raikage was not as smooth as expected.

  Although they did not clarify their own attitude, the Fourth Raikage and Yunyin obviously had their own set of ideas before coming here.

   "What should we do next, Elder Chidai?"

   Ye Cang asked quietly.

  Fourth Raikage's attitude made her feel very dissatisfied, but she also knew that he was one of the Five Kages, and any decision she made was not something she could question as Sandakana Jōnin.

  Looking at the problem from the perspective of different countries, the choice of the fourth generation of Raikage is the most rational one.

   You can't think that the other party is a brave and foolish person just because the other party is muscular.

   "Let's go to the old man Onogi. Iwagakure is the only ally we can win when Yunyin's attitude is unclear. Then we will find a way to win Kirigakure."

   As for Konoha, Chiyo has no thoughts for the time being.

  Obviously, Konoha has reached some secret agreement with the military of the Oni Nation, which led to the Five Kages Conference being completely inclined to the Oni Nation's decision.

   Fortunately, there are other shadows that can be drawn in, so that Shayin will not be left in a helpless situation.

  If that's the case, Sand Yin's situation will really fall into a passive state.

  No matter what, the condition to end the war with the northwest region of the Wind Country as compensation is too harsh.

  The kingdom of ghosts has no sincerity in peace talks.

  Although the high-ranking military officers of the Oni Land were born in Konoha, they did not uphold Konoha's traditional ideas at all, but instead embarked on a path of hegemony similar to Yunyin.

  There is such an ambitious neighbor in the west of the mainland. If it is not restrained at this time, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth will have trouble sleeping and eating, and the west will fall into a long-term conflict of interests.

   "Dogage? I understand."

  Yakura nodded.

   Allowing the Kingdom of Ghosts to rise will inevitably re-cut the interests of the west, and it will have the greatest impact on the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth.

  Under the premise that the kingdom of ghosts has directly infringed on the interests of the land of earth, it is the best choice to win over earth shadow.

  The two headed towards the lounge where Yan Yin was.

   Before they arrived, a person walked towards him, causing Chiyo and Ye Cang to stop immediately, their eyes fixed.

   "Oh, isn't this acting as Kazekage-dono and Hakura Jonin of Burning Dun? It's so late, do you still have the time to go out for a walk?"

  Wearing a white bathrobe with wet hair, Ayane smiled softly at Chiyo and Hakura.

  Yakura subconsciously stood in front of Chiyo, staring at Ayane warily.

  Compared to Ye Cang's vigilance, Ayane's attitude and movements are very casual.

   "Don't be so nervous, I just took a bath and I don't really want to exercise now."

  Yakura ignored Ayane and stood in front of Chiyo with unwavering vigilance.

  Looking at Chiyo and Hakura who were silent, Ayane sighed regretfully.

   "Forget it, let me tell you one thing. If you want to go to Tuying at this time, it may be too late. About ten minutes ago, I saw Tuying and his guards leaving the castle in a hurry. I don't know where they are going."

   Chiyo and Hakura frowned when they heard this sentence, as if they were considering whether Ayane's words were true or not.

   "Actually, to be honest, I hope that Sand Yin's attitude can be tough to the end. But the difference is that last time it was the sharingan woman, and this time I will lead. I am looking forward to meeting you on the battlefield. Please give me your advice at that time."

  Ayane smiled lightly and walked past Chiyo and Hakura until they disappeared around the corner.

   "The woman..."

  Ye Cang's face was obviously a little angry.

   "Calm down, Ye Cang, she just wants to induce you to attack first, don't fall for the other party's provocation."

  Chiyo signaled Hakura to calm down.

  If Ye Cang couldn't help but shoot just now, he might be killed.

   This is a trick that the Kingdom of Ghosts has used on the battlefield before. It provokes the Kingdom of the Wind to act first, and then they launch a so-called self-defense counterattack.

   Now it's just a repeat of the old tricks.

"…yes."

  Ye Cang's face was still not reconciled.

   "According to the white-eyed little girl, Onogi doesn't know what happened, and I'm afraid he won't be present at the meeting tomorrow. But according to my understanding of Onogi, before he leaves, he will definitely hand over his decision to Mifune's agent. Next, he will go to Mifune's first, and then go to seek Mizukage's support."

   Chiyo calmly analyzed the current situation, and did not cause any disturbances in her heart because of Ayane's deliberate provocation.

  When Konoha is unable to become an ally for the time being and Yun Yin maintains a no-nonsense attitude, the attitudes of Iwagakure and Kirigakure have become crucial figures.

  As long as the support of the two villages is obtained, it is enough for Sayin to be invincible in this meeting.

"are you back?"

  In the lounge, Shiraishi stood on the edge of the window, quietly watching the snowflakes falling outside.

   The severe cold outside can not be felt inside the house.

  Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, he slightly tilted his head, and Ayane came back after taking a bath.

   "Well, speaking of which, on the way back, I saw Chiyo of Sand Hidden, and she is trying to win over other Ninja villages."

  Ayane walked in and closed the door.

   "As expected, because of Jiraiya, Konoha will temporarily support all the decisions made by the Oni Nation during this meeting, and will not mix with Sand Yin. Now there are only three shadows left, earth, thunder, and water, who can be drawn by Sand Yin. Chiyo will naturally feel a sense of crisis. Konoha suddenly revoked the arrest warrant, which is also an unexpected 'joy' for Sand Yin."

  Sha Yin was caught in such a difficult situation, and Shiraishi had expected this by drawing allies to put pressure on the kingdom of ghosts.

   It's better to say that Sand Yin only thought of taking action at this moment. In his opinion, it was already a little bit late.

  If it united with other countries before the war started, maybe the Ghost Kingdom would be greatly constrained by this and would not dare to act rashly.

  However, from the moment the Kingdom of Winds was defeated, the rise of the Kingdom of Ghosts was unstoppable. Before the war between the western part of the mainland and the Kingdom of Winds, a new pattern had already emerged, and all countries would become more cautious in putting pressure on the Kingdom of Ghosts.

  For example, the emergence of the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Ghosts will undoubtedly disrupt the pattern in the western part of the mainland, but for the Kingdom of Thunder that cannot intervene in the pattern of the western part of the mainland, the rise of the Kingdom of Ghosts will plunge the west into a chaotic state of imbalance, which is actually beneficial to the Country of Thunder.

  The country of water, which is located on the opposite bank of the continent, is also the same reason.

  Konoha, who has combined hatred with him, also temporarily put aside the 'barrier' because of Jiraiya, and reached an alliance front.

   There are not many opportunities left for Sha Yin.

   "Next, it depends on Yagura's operation, which completely muddies the water."

   There are some things that Gokage can bring up, but he cannot.

  After all, the Kingdom of Oni is not the sixth largest country yet, and he is short in identity, so he can only use Yagura's Mizukage identity to let him confuse Sand Yin's thinking in it, test his bottom line, and then kill him one by one.

Nine in the morning

  The Five Kages Conference continued.

  The difference is that the place that originally belonged to Tuying is empty, which makes people look sideways and feel puzzled.

   Regarding this, General Mifune of the Iron Country explained: "Because of important matters to deal with, Your Excellency Tukage has rushed back to Yanyin with his guards overnight, but before leaving, His Excellency Tukage left me a letter. In the letter, he stated that he will fully support all decisions of Sand Yin."

  Hearing this, some people were surprised, some were surprised.

  Only Sagakushi had a relaxed expression. Chiyo, who had already asked Mifune last night, already knew about Tsuchikage Onogi's decision, and now it's just a process.

   No one doubted Mifune's words. For such a thing, you only need to go to Yanyin to verify it afterwards and you will know the answer. If Mifune lied and tampered with Tsuchikage's decision, it would definitely put Iron Nation in an embarrassing situation.

  Seeing that no one questioned it, Mifune nodded and continued: "Then, please continue to discuss. Regarding the conflict between the land of wind and the land of ghosts, a condition acceptable to both parties needs to be worked out. I personally hope that the ninja world can stay away from war forever, and peace is the most important thing in all countries."

  The consistent neutral country speaks, and no one refute it. This is the way of the country of iron, and it is impossible to expect him to favor a certain country.

   It is for this reason that the Five Kages Conference will be held here.

   "Your Excellency Mifune's speech is very much to my liking. I personally hope that all countries can regard peace as the most important thing, so that the ninja world can return to a peaceful and friendly state as soon as possible, but some countries don't seem to want peace in the ninja world. Do you think so, agent Kazekage-dono?"

   After Mifune finished speaking, Shiraishi smiled and said to Chiyo.

   "Don't spit blood here, this is obviously a long-planned war in your ghost kingdom."

   "I won't admit this kind of nonsense that doesn't even have evidence. It's an undeniable fact that you, Shayin, started the fight first. So, after a night of discussion, how is Shayin going to compensate our ghost kingdom to make up for the losses suffered by the ghost kingdom in this war? Remember, after yesterday passed, there are only six days left before the war starts again."

   Shiraishi reminded Chiyo, smiling all over his face, his eyes were full of calm, and he didn't look angry at all.

   "Anyway, the Kingdom of Wind will not agree to such a rude request."

   "That means there is nothing to talk about."

   "No, I mean, since we're at loggerheads, how about a vote?"

   "Vote?"

  Baishi raised his eyebrows slightly.

  Chiyo said with a smile: "That's right, the Gokages are the voters for voting on the Nation of the Wind and the Nation of the Ghosts. If the Nation of the Winds gets more votes than the Nation of the Ghosts, then the compensation for the Nation of the Ghosts will be decided by our Nation of the Winds. And vice versa."

  As a neutral party, Mifune also thinks this is a good proposal, otherwise the endless debate will only make things on a disjoint parallel line in the end, and there is no way for the two parties to reach a consensus.

   "The agent Mr. Fengying gave a solution, what do you think of Mr. Shiraishi?"

   Mifune asked Shiraishi for his opinion.

  Brows loosened, Baishi tapped twice on the table with his fingers, and after some careful consideration, he said: "No problem, this is indeed a feasible solution. But I have one condition."

"Please say."

   Mifune nodded.

   "Using the Five Kages as a voter is biased. I think that Mr. Kazekage, who is the agent of the party involved, should give up the right to vote, otherwise this is really unfair to the kingdom of ghosts."

   After Shiraishi said this, he was immediately opposed by Chiyo.

   "The Five Kages have always been united in the same spirit, and the Five Great Nations are beyond the Ninja World. This is an unchanging fact. Therefore, as an agent of Kazekage, I naturally also have the right to vote. Does the Oni Kingdom's veto mean that it is provoking the Five Great Nations together?"

   "Don't pretend to be a tiger here. The Kingdom of the Wind is a defeated country, and the defeated country has no right to shout and scream here. If the agent, Kazekage, insists on doing this, then the Kingdom of Ghosts will also ask for the voting rights it deserves."

  Shiraishi looked at Chiyo without giving an inch.

   "It's just nonsense, this is the scene of the Five Kages Conference, not the military meeting room of your kingdom of ghosts!"

  "The Land of Winds is a defeated country. Sand Yin must give up his right to vote, so that I can believe in the fairness of the Five Kages. Otherwise, I will not recognize such a voting result."

  The atmosphere has entered the oppressive stage of the Cold War.

  The guards were also covered in cold sweat, and those who could remain calm were, after all, a minority.

  The tit-for-tat confrontation of five kage-level ninjas will also make them feel great pressure for Jonin.

   Such a depressing atmosphere remained silent for about half a minute, and a cough attracted everyone to look over.

  Under the gaze of the crowd, Sarutobi Hiruzen the Third Hokage spoke slowly:

   "I think the representative of the Oni Nation has a point. This time the situation is special. Sand Hidden failed on the front line. As a defeated country, if he asks for the right to vote at this time, it will inevitably be criticized. I personally agree with the opinion of the Oni Nation representative."

  Chiyo never expected that Konoha would be the first to break the balance.

  Even knowing that Konoha had been coerced by the kingdom of ghosts and had to make such a decision, I felt extremely annoyed.

  After Hizhan finished speaking, the Fourth Raikage on the other side also opened his closed eyes, and said with a strong attitude: "I agree with Konoha's point of view. There is no reason for the defeated country to pick and choose here. If you want to gain the power that the Five Kages deserve at the Five Kages Conference, then you must show your due strength. Ninjas should follow actions and strength. I have not seen this in Sand Gakushi today. I doubt whether the Kingdom of the Wind can now take on the important task of one of the Five Great Nations."

   "Raikage, what do you mean by that?"

   Chiyo's face was cold.

  Yakura behind her and another Shinomoto Shinobi all cast murderous gazes at Raikage.

   Behind the Fourth Raikage, Darui and Nozomi, the two Jnin guards, stared back not to be outdone, and kept on the same front as the Fourth Raikage.

   "Literally, the kingdom of ghosts has proved its own strength through military operations. On the contrary, even Kazekage was almost captured on the battlefield by sand hidden, and the face of the five major countries was completely humiliated."

  Fourth Raikage's words undoubtedly hurt the hearts of Chiyo and the others.

   Seeing such a chaotic situation, Mifune also felt a little headache.

   Sure enough, presiding over such a meeting seemed too heavy for him, a general of the Iron Kingdom.

   "Well, acting as Kazekage-dono, although the speeches of Hokage-dono and Raikage-dono are a little radical, but there is some reason. Then, how about voting with the four kages in the next vote?"

  Chiyo's expression was cloudy and uncertain. He thought that this Five Kages Conference could use the name of the Five Kages and the Five Great Nations to put pressure on the Oni Nation, but he didn't expect that Konoha would take the lead in defecting to the Oni Nation. Not to mention, Yun Yin seems to have his own plan and does not intend to join forces with Sa Yin.

  This Five Kages Conference is really going against everything.

   And she also overestimated the determination of the other great powers.

  It is likely that they intend to use the two countries of wind and soil as a shield and wait and see what happens.

   "Since that's the case, Sha Yin will withdraw from this vote. Let the other four shadows make a fair decision."

  Chiyo sighed, to reach this point, for her, she has done her best.

  Third Raikage's words are harsh, but they are true.

  Sha Yin was the defeated party, how could he get so much tolerance.

  There are also all kinds of stealth among the five major countries, and it is impossible to truly be in the same breath.

   Mifune nodded, feeling relieved.

  If Sa Eunkang insists on being strong, he will probably end up asking for trouble.

  He also did not expect that the ninjas among the five major countries would be distrusted to such an extent.

  The kingdom of ghosts is now using the country of the wind as a platform to intervene in the pattern of great powers. As a samurai, Mifune is hard to predict what kind of changes will be caused in the future.

   It is nothing more than another big country, which does not have much impact on the country of neutral national iron.

   "Then, let me be the referee." Mifune did his part, looking at the vacant seat of Iwagakure: "First of all, Lord Tukage, because before he left, he left a message saying that he would fully support Shayin, so the Kingdom of the Wind won the first vote. Next is Your Excellency Hokage. Do you support the Kingdom of the Wind or the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

  Look at Sandai Hokage.

   Hirizhan touched the pipe in his hand, glanced at Shiraishi, hesitated for a while and replied: "The kingdom of ghosts."

  No matter what, Jilai must be rescued, and now he can only choose to believe in the promise of the kingdom of ghosts.

  In addition to this road, there is no other way to go.

  Thinking that one day he will be forced to this point by a traitor, and he will continue to give in to the enemy who killed his son, Ri Zhan couldn't help but feel a little sad.

  Maybe, I really did something wrong at the beginning.

  Things should not have developed to this situation.

  Whether it is Sakumo or Minato, or let Danzo's actions lead to the tragedy of the Uchiha clan's genocide, let Itachi bear all the charges alone, and go to the criminal organization to act as Konoha's spy...

  After going back, it's time to think about the Fifth Hokage. Ri Zhan thought in his heart.

  Konoha needs a new Hokage to lead the village forward.

   After Hizan answered, Mifune nodded, and his eyes swept to Yoshidai Raikage next to Hizan.

   Now the number of votes received by the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Ghosts is a one-to-one tie.

  There are still two shadows left who have not made a choice.

   "What is your decision, Lord Raikage?"

  Facing Mifune's question, Fourth Raikage glanced at Chiyo and Shiraishi, and replied without thinking, "Kunyin abstains."

   Abstain?

  Not only Mifune, Chiyo also looked at Fourth Raikage in astonishment, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, wondering what kind of tricks Fourth Raikage was playing.

   Baishi sat there expressionless, unmoved.

   "That's it, Lord Raikage abstained, then, only the crucial vote in the hands of Lord Mizukage is left."

   Mifune calmed down and looked at Yakura.

   "You really gave me a big problem, Your Excellency Raikage."

  Yakura did not answer immediately, but smiled wryly at Fourth Raikage, as if he was mocking himself.

   "Hmph, Yun Yin and the Kingdom of Thunder don't need to pay attention to such trivial matters."

   Everyone had no choice but to respond to Fourth Raikage's extremely vague response.

  Before coming here, each village had already gone through an internal meeting to decide which country to support at the Five Kages Conference.

   That is to say, the decision of the fourth generation of Raikage is not his own wish, and it is likely to be a joint decision after the Yunyin high-level meeting.

  Fourth Raikage just stated the results of Yunyin's high-level meeting.

   "To be honest, Kirigakure hangs alone overseas. Since the first ninja world war, he has been withdrawing from the ninja world stage and living in a corner. Coupled with the internal struggle that happened a few years ago, Kirigakure suffered heavy losses. Now he is barely recovering, and it is inconvenient to intervene in the complicated political situations of various countries. Therefore, Kirigakure chose the same as Yunyin, remaining neutral and abstaining from power."

  Yakura stated Kirigakure's choice bluntly, causing a brief silence in the conference room.

  The current result is that, with two abstentions, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Ghosts each received one vote, a one-to-one tie.

  This result caught everyone by surprise. Even Shiraishi, who was sitting in the seat, was a little confused and didn't know how to speak.

  Chiyo loosened her clenched palm slightly. Although she didn't meet her expectations, it wasn't the worst result, and it was barely within Sagakure's tolerance.

   She glanced at Yakura regretfully.

  If the support of the other party can be obtained, this vote will obviously go in a direction that is beneficial to Sa Yin.

   Unfortunately, when she negotiated with Yagura last night, no matter what she said that Sagakure would pay Kirigakure a generous reward, Yakura would not accept the solicitation, and did not indicate which party she would publicly support.

  She thought that Yakura had already been wooed by the Oni Nation first, but now it seems that Yakura also did not accept the Oni Nation's wooing, and his attitude was neutral.

  In terms of the current situation of the hidden fog, neutrality is indeed the best choice.

   "Now the result is a one-to-one draw. Does the Kingdom of Ghosts still insist on paying the above compensation?"

  Chiyo glanced at Shiraishi.

   Facing Chiyo's questioning, Shiraishi's face became a little embarrassed, and it seemed that because of this result, he felt a little troublesome.

   "No matter what, the Kingdom of Winds is a defeated country, and the problem of liquidation of loans has not been resolved. This Kingdom of Winds must give an account to the Kingdom of Ghosts."

  After pondering, Shiraishi's tone relaxed.

  There is drama. When Chiyo heard Shiraishi's words, she suddenly felt confident.

   Sure enough, the Kingdom of Ghosts doesn't want to go to war with the Kingdom of Winds again. The previous tough attitude was just to intimidate the Kingdom of Winds.

   "Then, the Kingdom of Oni needs to re-introduce the terms of compensation. Neither Sand Yin nor the daimyo will agree to the demand for the entire northwestern region of the Wind Country. If the Oni Country insists on going to war and ignores the agreement of the five major countries, then Sand Yin will accompany him to the end. At that time, maybe other countries will also intervene."

   It was barely a win, but Chiyo knew that this so-called win was just a kind of psychological comfort, so that Sa Yin's face would not be so miserable.

  Seeing that Shiraishi was indeed sitting there thinking seriously, Chiyo's heart also relaxed.

   At this moment, Yakura, who saw the atmosphere quiet down, interrupted Shiraishi's contemplation, and said, "Well, as a neutral party, I have a few words to say."

   "Please tell me, Mizukage-dono."

  Chiyo looked at Yagura with a relaxed mood.

  I feel that the watery shadow in front of me, who doesn't like oil and salt, doesn't seem to be as unkind as the rumors say.

  His neutral attitude, to a certain extent, can be regarded as helping Sa Yin.

  "Throughout the history of the ninja world, it is reasonable for the victorious country to demand compensation from the defeated country to quell the war between countries. The reason why the country of the wind and the country of ghosts are at odds is entirely because both sides are not satisfied with the other's answer. How about this, how about taking a step back?"

  Yakura laughed.

   "How to take a step back?"

   Shiraishi asked.

   "The Kingdom of Ghosts' request for the entire northwest region of the Kingdom of Winds is indeed a bit too much, and it makes people wonder whether the Kingdom of Ghosts has other plans. How about cutting half of the northwest region of the Kingdom of Winds and dividing it into the Kingdom of Ghosts? As far as I know, most of the northwestern region of the Kingdom of Winds is barren land, with serious shortages of water and vegetation. This is not an unacceptable price for the Kingdom of Winds."

  Yakura looked at Chiyo.

  After hearing this, Chiyo was about to answer, but Shiraishi refused coldly.

   "Impossible! Now the entire northwest region of the Kingdom of Wind is under the rule of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and Kazami Castle, which is connected to the central portal of the Kingdom of Winds, was also taken over by our Kingdom of Ghosts following the defeat of Sand Yin. If only half of the northwest region of the Kingdom of Winds is finally obtained, the Kingdom of Ghosts will not be able to recover its capital. Moreover, the words of His Excellency Mizukage against the Kingdom of Ghosts make me wonder whether Kirigakure has been drawn by Sand Yin to jointly oppress the Kingdom of Ghosts as a small country."

  As soon as Shiraishi finished speaking, the ninjas of Konoha and Yunyin couldn't help but look at Yakura, agreeing with Shiraishi's words.

  Because the northwest of the Kingdom of Wind is indeed a barren land, the only profitable place is the gateway to the central part of the Kingdom of Wind——Wind Jian City.

  If only half of the northwest region is ceded, Kazami Castle will naturally be returned to the Land of Wind. Yagura's proposal undoubtedly tends to favor more hidden sand.

   "Just like the vote just now, Kirigakure will remain absolutely neutral. As Mizukage, I will not favor any side."

  Yakura said with a frown, quite dissatisfied with Shiraishi's remarks.

   "That kind of vote doesn't represent anything. Maybe it was just for me to paralyze the kingdom of ghosts. Speaking of it, Mizukage-dono, who came to power in the form of a coup, every word you say is hard to convince."

   "To each other, as traitors, you are controlling the Kingdom of Ghosts behind the scenes. I also think that you have other plans and are not worthy of trust. Anyway, the Kingdom of Ghosts is not the sixth largest country now, and you are not the Five Kages."

  Yakura let out a cold snort, and his immature face like a doll was full of angry scowling.

  Chiyo was overjoyed when he saw Shiraishi who had exchanged fire with Yagura, and only one thought arose—

  The kingdom of ghosts is in a hurry.
