Escape From Konoha Chapter 313

  Chapter 313 Conditions and Seals

  The atmosphere in the meeting room became dignified again, full of intense smell of gunpowder.

  Even in the face of Kirigakure's Mizukage, Oni Nation's attitude can be considered extremely tough.

  Seeing this, Mifune knew that things should not go in an unknown direction. Moreover, the main purpose of this Five Kages Conference was to reconcile the conflicts between the Land of Wind and the Land of Demons, and not to allow the two countries that do not have much communication to continue to create conflicts and barriers.

  Adhering to the concept of 'harmony', Mifune spoke to dissuade: "Your Excellency Mizukage and Your Excellency Shiraishi, please calm down. The result of the vote is now very clear, and I personally think that Your Excellency Mizukage's point of view is relatively objective. If both parties take a step back, maybe both parties will 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 the small country has no status in the world that Sand Yin ignored the warnings from the military of the country of ghosts at first, invaded the territory of the country of ghosts, and deterred it with powerful force."

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

   Mifune said.

   "Of course, this is the result of years of development of the ghost kingdom. But it does not mean that the wealth of the ghost kingdom will not be coveted by outsiders. Sha Yin's undeclared war is an example. Therefore, to prevent the same thing from happening again, we must impose certain restrictions on the wind kingdom."

   "Clamp?"

   Chiyo frowned and looked at Shiraishi.

  Baishi nodded, and continued to make his own remarks: "Wind Jian Castle is the gateway connecting the central part of the Wind Kingdom and the northwest. Only when it is brought into the hands of the Ghost Kingdom, Shayin will be cautious and dare not easily use troops to the Ghost Kingdom. 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 the Castle of Wind. If the Kingdom of Ghosts insists on going its own way, the Kingdom of Wind can only use force to regain the Castle of Wind."

  Once the kingdom of ghosts controls Kazaki Castle, it means that the central part of the kingdom of winds will be directly open to the kingdom of ghosts without defense. Once a war breaks out, the ninja troops of the kingdom of ghosts can drive straight in and wreak havoc within the kingdom of winds, causing a large number of casualties and damage to buildings.

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

  Like the Kingdom of Rain during the war.

   "As far as I know, Sha Yin has not paid off a huge debt to the Ghost Kingdom."

   Shiraishi mentioned this matter.

  Chiyo has already prepared a draft on this: "Don't worry about this matter. The owed money will be returned to the Oni Country within half a month by the Wind Country Congress at the interest rate. As Mizukage-dono said just now, in the northwest region of the Wind Country, the Wind Country can only give up the area close to the Bear Country and You Country, and the rest can't be done."

  In general, the northwest region actually has almost no effect on the country of wind.

  Not only is the population sparsely populated, but the buildings are seriously aging. It is also the most serious area in the land of winds that lacks water and lacks vegetation coverage.

  She doesn't know the purpose of the Kingdom of Ghosts asking for that area, but in order to ensure the safety of Fengjian City, an area in the northwest region must be controlled by the Kingdom of the Wind, so that when wars break out in the future, the Kingdom of the Wind can take a certain initiative instead of 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 Kingdom of Wind to monitor every move of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

   "Then what will happen if the Kingdom of Wind once again goes to war against the Kingdom of Ghosts without declaring it?"

   Shiraishi asked.

   "For the sake of the future peace of the two countries, the Kingdom of Wind promises that similar things will not happen again."

   "But I can't trust Shayin's reputation. I won't make fun of the safety of the people in my country. You are the ones who made mistakes first, and you must have an account."

   "Then what do you want? The Kingdom of Wind will not accept the surrender of Feng Jiancheng."

  Chiyo was also calm, and did not get angry because of Shiraishi's repeated advances.

  After Yagura's proposal before, the country of ghosts has already begun to compromise conditions.

   Now it is nothing more than the two parties making concessions to each other, constantly adding and subtracting from the original compensation conditions, until a result that both parties are satisfied with can be signed on the agreement.

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

  No matter how barren it is, the northwest region of the Kingdom of Wind originally belonged to the Kingdom of Wind, but now the entire northwest has fallen into the hands of the Kingdom of Ghosts. Looking at the current situation of the Kingdom of Ghosts, if Sha Yin does not make concessions, the Kingdom of Ghosts will not sign the agreement at all.

   All in all, the compensation conditions must be reduced to an acceptable level for the Kingdom of Wind.

   Fengjian City is the last bottom line of the Kingdom of Wind.

  This city cannot be controlled by the kingdom of ghosts.

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

   "Garrison in Kazami Castle?"

  Chiyo stared at Shiraishi vigilantly.

  Baishi's face remained unchanged and he said: "Yes, in view of the illegal aggression of the Kingdom of Winds this time, the Kingdom of Ghosts must have some initiative in order to feel safe. This will somewhat make the Kingdom of Winds scruples and avoid a second conflict between the two countries."

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

   Chiyo flatly refused.

   Letting the country of ghosts garrison troops in Fengjian City is equivalent to putting the key of the gate of one's own house into the hands of another country.

   "The country of ghosts will retreat another 20 miles in exchange for the right to garrison Fengjian City."

   Shiraishi tested the bottom line in Chiyo's heart.

  Chiyo still shook her head resolutely, expressing her denial.

   This is a matter of principle, how many miles of land the ghost country retreats is not negotiable.

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

   After a long time, Shiraishi spoke again: "Then, how about giving up all mission entrustment activities and adding this condition, Ninja of the Demon Kingdom?"

   "No... what did you say?"

  Just as Chiyo was about to veto, she suddenly reacted and stared at Shiraishi with a calm face.

  Ghost country ninja, 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 for making money, it is not necessary to do this.

  That is task entrustment, and it has another important role—to demonstrate national strength.

  Different from the chaos of the Warring States Period, a relatively mature Ninja Village system had been established in the One Country One Village era.

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

  The money obtained from the mission entrustment can not only be used to develop the village, but also can be used to evaluate the gap in military strength of various countries based on the entrusted expenses.

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

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

  People who encounter difficulties will definitely lean towards Konoha first, and then consider the rest of Ninja Village.

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

  Therefore, task entrustment can be regarded as a source of making money, and it is also an activity for the country to demonstrate its military power.

  If the kingdom of ghosts gives up this right, it means that the ninjas in the kingdom of ghosts will not only lose an important source of income, but the country itself will also lose a major opportunity to expand its influence.

   Rao couldn't help but hesitate with Chiyo's attitude, she was a bit confused about what bad idea Shiraishi was brewing in her heart.

   No matter how you look at it, this is harmful to the kingdom of ghosts, what is he calculating in his heart?

  Not only Chiyo, but even Raikage, Mizukage, and Hokage at the side began to meditate, thinking about what Shiraishi's purpose was.

   It's just that no matter how they guessed, they couldn't understand that Baishi gave up all mission commissions as a condition, just to get the right to garrison Kazami Castle.

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

   This is what Yu Ying had in mind.

  The Kingdom of Ghosts has given up all task commissions, which means that the ninja employment market will still be divided by the five major powers, and the Kingdom of Ghosts has not been involved in sharing this cake.

  The prestige of the five major powers will not weaken much.

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

  As for the feelings of the Kingdom of the Wind, it is no longer within the scope of consideration for Yu Ying.

  Before, in order to maintain balance, they gave up space for Shiraishi and Chiyo to argue, while they sat back and watched.

  However, after Shiraishi threw out this condition, even Ri Zhan, who had a serious estrangement with Shiraishi, gradually leaned towards Shiraishi's side in his heart.

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

  If the Kingdom of Ghosts gives up this part of the market and puts aside its personal enmity, it will indeed make everyone feel the sincerity of the Kingdom of Ghosts out of consideration between countries.

  Advance and retreat are well-founded, there is no excessive self-forbearance, but there is no excessive greed, everything is just right.

  Chiyo was also quite moved, but he wanted to exchange the right to garrison Kazami Castle, which made Chiyo a little embarrassed.

   While Chiyo was thinking about it, Fourth Raikage said: "If Oni Nation can give up all ninja mission entrustment activities in the future, then, on behalf of Umoin, I support Oni Nation's decision and ask for the right to garrison Kazami Castle in Wind Nation. After all, Sagakushi has a lesson from previous convictions, and the reason that Oni Nation has no sense of security can also stand."

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

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

  Ghost Country's abandonment of the task entrustment activity means that the important activities of the five major powers to demonstrate their national strength have not been greatly violated.

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

  Seeing Yun Yin, who was originally neutral, immediately turned to the Oni Country, and Konoha, who was already supportive of the Oni Country, Chiyo's heart sank.

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

   This made Chiyo smile even more wryly.

   Should it be said that Oni Nation has great courage, or should we praise the opponent's strategy of balancing, and the game is very smooth?

   Is this an attempt to win over Yu Ying to put pressure on the Kingdom of Wind?

   This situation is completely reversed.

  In this way, it is probably even more difficult for Sha Yin to obtain the support of Yu Ying.

   Do you want to give up all mission entrustment activities like the kingdom of ghosts?

   This is simply impossible.

   "I need to ask the daimyo for instructions."

  Chiyo sighed, but didn't finish his sentence.

  Before coming here, although the daimyo had given him the power to make his own decisions, the development of the matter was somewhat unexpected, and Chiyo thought it would be better to ask the daimyo for instructions.

   Mifune said at this time: "There is fast communication equipment in the castle, and you can directly contact the Daming Mansion of the Kingdom of Wind."

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

   Shiraishi was not dissatisfied with this.

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

  In the quiet and empty cave.

  The color of the huge half-length humanoid is very similar to the body and the dead wood. Behind the dead wood giant stands many columnar objects, with a hideous appearance and a deep breath.

  In the front, the finger-like wood also protruded, standing out of the ground.

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

   Kisame and Itachi are standing on the fingers of the giant withered wood in a physical form, while the rest are standing in rainbow-like phantom bodies.

  Each person makes seals with both hands, and connects the chakra in their body with the dead wood giant—the alien golem.

  In the mouth of the alien golem, a huge chakra emerges in the shape of a dragon, wrapping the body of a ninja, floating in mid-air.

  From the body of the ninja, a group of red chakra full of evil aura is continuously transmitted into the golem of the outsider.

  As the last red chakra was extracted from the ninja's body, the chakra dragon retracted into the golem of the Outer Way. The ninja's body lost its support and fell to the ground, twitching painfully on the ground twice before losing its breath.

   "Hoo..."

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

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

   Twisted his neck, making a crackling sound, Guisha's voice was full of complaints.

  As for Kisame's complaints, Nagato, who appeared in real form, didn't care, but said: "In this way, the sealing work of the first tailed beast and five tails is completed, thank you for your hard work."

   "Although I 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 is inevitable that I am a little unskilled in using it for the first time, and I will make adjustments to a certain extent later. And as more tailed beasts are collected, the sealing time will also be shortened."

   "That being said, I really want to see the scene after collecting the nine-tailed beasts."

  The corners of Orochimaru's mouth split open, showing a malicious smile, and his eyes were full of interest.

   Pursuing the path of eternal life, such an interesting thing, it is worth commemorating for a while.

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

  In the future, what kind of new pattern will be produced when the five major powers collide.

  The current ninja world, in the eyes of Oshemaru, is just a pool of stagnant water, and there is no desire for him to stir it 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, Heijue, who was mixed with Baijue, suddenly said: "Tuying got the news of the disappearance of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and left from the Iron Kingdom, and is now on his way back to Yanyin."

   Nagato listened, looked at Kisame and Itachi, and asked, "No clues left?"

   Itachi remained silent and did not answer, but Kisame replied enthusiastically: "Don't worry, leader. After many days, Yan Yin only remembered to track it down now, it was too late. And at that time, Bai Jue was behind to clean up the traces. Only Yan Yin's pursuit ability could not find us."

   "That's good. I haven't been able to attract the attention of the five major countries yet. This time it is a test of the waters. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the results."

  Nagato is not stingy with his praise.

   Immediately, he turned his head, looked at Hei Jue and Bai Jue, and continued to ask: "What is the result of the Five Shadows meeting?"

   Heijue replied: "There is no way to detect it. Once you get too close to it, you will be sensed by Chiba Shiraishi's perception ninjutsu. It seems that he doesn't want us to know the details of the Five Kage talks."

   "It's really cautious. But for us, whether we know it or not doesn't have much impact. The current structure of the ninja world will definitely change with the previous war between the country of wind and the country of ghosts. This is an indisputable fact."

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

  The Land of Rain, which is poor and empty, can't stand too much trouble at all.

  Besides, there are three major kingdoms of fire, earth, and wind around them. Now that there is a special case like the kingdom of ghosts, they will not allow the second small country to rise.

  If it was him personally, he would naturally not be afraid, but sometimes he must make some compromises and concessions for the Kingdom of Rain.

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

  Everyone has a taboo that no one can violate.

   "Yes, and what the Five Great Nations don't know is that the Kingdom of Ghosts has already secretly conquered the Country of Snow and the Country of You, and most of the Country of Bears, including Star Ninja Village, is also under the control of the Country of Ghosts. When the time is right, these three countries will support the Country of Ghosts together. In the Country of Snow, there is also an armament production factory that even I can't sneak into. This time, in the war with the Country of Wind, the weapons and equipment of the Country of Ghosts may have hidden a lot of weapons and equipment. "

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

   "Chiba Shiraishi always likes to watch three steps and one step. Not counting the other ninjas in the Oni Land, just him, Uchiha Ruri, and Hyuga Ayane alone need at least 15,000 ninjas to successfully encircle and suppress them. Each of them can occupy a pivotal position in the frontal battlefield. Gokage seriously underestimated the strength of the Oni Land."

  Considering additional factors such as morale, environment, and tactics, 15,000 ninjas are still the minimum estimate.

   Nagato is very clear about this.

  Hearing what Nagato said, all the members of Akatsuki were a little silent.

  Itachi, especially Itachi, was even more surprised. He knew that Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri, who could defeat Sand Hidden in the frontal battlefield, were very powerful, but now he heard the evaluation of the leader Nagato, at least 15,000 ninjas were needed to carry out the encirclement and suppression of the three of them.

   Is this a bit exaggerated?

   Fifteen thousand ninjas, what is that concept?

  In a big ninja village, the sum of all ninjas is even more than some.

  Not to mention Chunin, there are many Jenin.

   Even so, fifteen thousand ninjas are needed to carry out the siege...

   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 in his heart. Such a terrifying and dangerous existence must be reported to the village.

  Otherwise, Konoha will definitely suffer a big loss next time he faces the Oni Nation.

   What I revealed was information about the Oni Land, so it shouldn't be considered a violation of the agreement with Madara.

   Moreover, what Nagato said made Itachi very suspicious, whether he did this on purpose, letting himself, a 'spy', pass this information to Konoha, so as to take the kingdom of ghosts more seriously.

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

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

   Even Madara seems to be in awe of Nagato.

   Is it possible to think that Nagato's strength is even higher than Madara's?

   "Itachi-kun."

   Orochimaru's sinister voice came.

   "What's the matter, Oshemaru-senpai?"

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

   Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue and licked it. His disgusting and sticky eyes scanned Itachi's body back and forth, and finally turned his eyes to the dead five-tailed Jinchuriki-Han on the ground.

   "Can you please temporarily seal up this corpse? I will ask you to collect it later. I still lack the corpses of some powerful ninjas as experimental materials for my dirty soil reincarnation technique."

   Itachi endured his nausea and nodded, agreeing.

"I see."

  Of course he has heard of the technique of reincarnation in dirty soil.

  He didn't expect that Dashewan, in addition to pursuing longevity, would also do some research on this forbidden technique of playing with corpses.

  But thinking of Dashemaru's no-holds-barred style of doing things, trampling on human ethics, I don't feel anything at all.

   It is a poisonous snake covered in human skin from head to toe.

   "Thank you very much, this way, we will have more bargaining chips."

   After finishing speaking, Orochimaru let go of the seal, and the rainbow-like phantom disappeared from the finger of the golem.

   Scorpion snorted coldly, and left with Orochimaru.

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

   "Then, this sealing work ends here. Please continue to work hard and fight for Akatsuki's lofty ideals. Disband."

   After finishing speaking, he unlocked the spell, and at the same time, he disappeared with the golem and Xiao Nan.

  The figures of Baijue, Heijue, and Beiliuhu also disappeared from the white mist caused by the release of the spell, and left this place.

  In the end, only Itachi and Kisame remained.

   Itachi walked up to Han's corpse, took out a blank scroll, and prepared to seal Han's body inside.

   Kisame walked to Itachi's back, pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I don't know if I should say this, Itachi, you'd better be careful about Oroshemaru, he's different from Beiruhu, he's a very dangerous existence. If you die, I'll have to find another teammate."

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

   Itachi sealed up the hero's body, as if thinking about Kisame.

   Kisame shrugged his shoulders helplessly, there really isn't such a thing that he wanted to do for the time being.

  But I also know that Itachi seems to have some personal matters to deal with next, Kisame expressed his understanding.

  Both are 'spies', and there are still some commonalities between them.
