Escape From Konoha Chapter 342

  Chapter 342 Rebel

  Baishi came out of the laboratory in a busy schedule and temporarily interrupted the research on some of the dead wood of the sacred tree. For the mission jointly sent by the five major countries, he, the military minister of the ghost country, still needs to meet in person.

  Although after a morning of talks, the result was not as satisfactory as all parties, but Shiraishi did not expect to obtain favorable conditions in such a short time.

   Presumably the missions of the five major countries are also well aware.

  The purpose of their joint envoy to the Kingdom of Ghosts this time is very simple, that is to restrict the arms sales of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

  The Kingdom of Ghosts is prohibited from providing any arms supply to countries or organizations other than the five major countries. It is only allowed to sell arms to the five major countries. In other respects, they will make certain compromises to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

   It can be said that all parties are win-win results.

  This is also a last resort. The ninja tools developed by the Kingdom of Ghosts are no longer just ninja tools. The threshold for using these weapons is extremely low. Even children can use them to fight after a few days of familiarization.

  For example, the Kunai gun can easily take a life by simply pressing the trigger.

  Because the Kingdom of Ghosts sold a large number of such convenient and extremely lethal weapons to neighboring small countries after defeating the Kingdom of Wind, it has already put a certain amount of pressure on the big countries.

  Although it won't hurt the muscles and bones, but after a long time, if you continue to send a large number of weapons out without restraint, no one knows what will happen.

  At first they didn't realize it, but after witnessing the civil war in the Kingdom of Rain, they realized what these convenient ninja tools developed by the Kingdom of Ghosts really meant.

  After all, there are too many small countries with ambitions in this ninja world. Although these small countries will be wiped out every time in a ninja world war, they will grow tenaciously after the war and threaten the big country again.

  The weapons sold by the ghost country have greatly strengthened the military power of this small country, making them no longer helpless in the face of big countries.

  If you want to use ninjas to deal with them, the ordinary middle ninja and lower ninja can no longer form absolute suppression.

  Only elite ninjas at the upper ninja level can cause deterrence.

   There are quite a few high ninjas in big countries, but they are definitely not many. Comparing the base numbers of middle nin and lower ninja, upper ninja is always the class of ninjas with the fewest staff. In many cases, it is used as a heavy card of a country.

  Based on this situation, it is not superfluous for them to restrict the arms trade between the ghost country and the small country.

  Baishi believes that if he does not agree to these conditions of the five major countries, the next time he will come again will not be a mission, but the joint pressure of the ninja villages of the five major countries.

   These people don't mind banding together when interests are perfectly aligned.

  Even the Kingdom of Thunder, who remained on the sidelines at the Five Shadows Conference, strongly intervened.

  They will not allow a second ghost country to appear.

  An exception like the Kingdom of Ghosts has already caused them a lot of trouble. If there is a second one, whether directly or indirectly, their prestige and interests will further decline.

   "This guy Nagato really knows how to pick the right moment..."

  Backing back to the office, Shiraishi was quite depressed when he saw the information sent back from the Land of Rain.

  He knew that Nagato would have a strong impact on the nobles of the Kingdom of Rain by way of war.

  Because the internal troubles are not resolved, the Kingdom of Rain will never be able to break away from the control of the great powers.

  This kind of control is not only military, but also economic and political.

   Nagato would not be afraid of military pressure. But economic and political sanctions are what Nagato is really worried about.

   No matter how strong he is personally, he still cannot solve the problem of food for everyone in the Land of Rain. He has to compromise for the peace of the Land of Rain.

   Just like Hanzo back then, allowing the big country to wreak havoc in the Land of Rain, there is no other way but silence and patience.

   replaced Hanzo's Nagato and became even more cunning.

  The pseudonym Payne leads Yu Yin, and the civil strife in the Rain Land is not a war of ninjas, but the nature of a popular uprising. The civil war was carried out because of dissatisfaction with the domestic elite.

  If Yuyin directly intervened, the nature would be different.

  Even so, the surrounding fire, wind, and earth powers are also preparing to sneak into the ninja secretly and intervene in the war, taking the opportunity to eliminate the hidden danger of Yuyin.

   It's just that the Kingdom of Wind has become extremely sensitive to the nerves of war because of the relationship of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and it will not end easily.

  The Kingdom of Ghosts began to intervene in the affairs of the Kingdom of Waves, and the Kingdom of Fire could not just sit idly by. At the same time, they had to pay attention to the Kingdom of Rain, and their attention was distracted.

  The only one capable of intervening in the civil war in the Land of Rain is the Land of Earth.

  This is why Shiraishi said that Nagato picked a good time.

  The two powers of fire and wind will not do their best for the time being, and only need to strictly guard against the movements of the land of earth.

   In terms of judging the situation, Shiraishi also has to admire Nagato's vision at the moment.

  It was also the same before, when the Five Great Nations were preparing for the Five Kages Conference, they secretly received the Five-Tails Jinchuriki from Yanyin Village, and Yanyin is still struggling with this matter, looking for the whereabouts of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

   Now, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Kingdom of Wind and the distraction of the Kingdom of Fire, they have led the civil war in the Kingdom of Rain without hesitation.

   It can be said that the eyesight is quite sharp.

   Compared with the former leader Yahiko, he is more decisive and ruthless.

   "However, the civil war in the Land of Rain is relatively a relief for the Land of Waves."

  The effect is relative.

  The Kingdom of Fire has distracted attention from the Kingdom of Rain because of the Kingdom of Waves, but isn't the Kingdom of Rain a puppet stake that shares the firepower of the Kingdom of Fire for the Kingdom of Waves?

  It's just that Nagato has now turned from darkness to half-light, which still makes Shiraishi feel vigilant.

   After the civil war in the Land of Rain is over, Akatsuki's operation to capture the Tailed Beast will officially begin.

   That is the real beginning of the contest between the two sides.

   Therefore, there is still a need for some compromises with respect to the five major powers.

  The sale of arms to small countries is prohibited. This condition can be negotiated, but a suitable price must be given to the country of ghosts.

   Losing such a huge profit, it is impossible to say it lightly, even if the Kingdom of Ghosts is not short of this profit.

  Asma, who came to the kingdom of ghosts with the mission of the country of fire, temporarily separated from the mission of the kingdom of fire after arriving at Ziyuan City, the capital of the kingdom of ghosts.

  Asma was free until the Fire Nation Mission and the high-level officials of the Ghost Nation settled the matter and left the Ghost Nation. As long as he doesn't cause trouble in the ghost country, it is also his father of the third Hokage, who acquiesces to him.

   Being in a foreign country, the experience of Asma is relatively new. Although I have been to many countries in the past, it was all because of the mission of ninjas. I have never had any leisure time to calm down and slowly appreciate the unusual scenery of foreign countries.

  For this, most ninjas are also like this.

  Performing tasks is the goal of life. Stopping and resting for a while is a luxury for ninjas who are busy all year round.

  Even Asma, who is the child of Hokage, has not had much time to stop and rest since she was a child.

  Because he was born in a chaotic era, not long after graduation, he went to the ninja battlefield and witnessed the cruel war.

  After that, the idea and Hokage's father departed, joined the fire country daimyo, and became one of the twelve guardian ninjas.

  In the end, the companions killed each other, and returned to Konoha disheartened, losing their life goals.

   Now that I am relaxed, it is a different feeling.

  Being able to breathe freely, this feeling has not been experienced for a long time.

  The last time I experienced it was when I was in the ninja school.

  Because he is the son of Hokage, he must work hard and become an elite ninja, so as to be worthy of his status as the son of Hokage.

  Thinking of her father Hizan, Asma couldn't help but sighed again.

  The tall father in the past is no longer there, and the present father is just a decayed old man who is about to fall into the ground.

   It is because of this that Konoha will decline again and again.

  Simply not wanting to worry about these troubles, Asma relaxed her mood and began to wander aimlessly in Ziyuan City.

   After all, he is a newcomer, and he doesn't know the situation in Ziyuan City. He just goes to a place, takes a look, wanders around, and buys new and interesting things with money.

   When I got back to the hotel, I realized that my hands were full of shopping bags.

   This made Asma wonder, did she buy so many things without knowing it?

   And many things are meaningless to ninjas. As a ninja, Asma can restrain most of the boring desires in his heart. Now that he bought so many things at once, it can only show that many things here are because they have not seen them, so they can't help but buy them.

   Even if you can't use it, you can take it back and study it slowly to pass the time.

   Rather, entering the Kingdom of Ghosts from another country is like entering two worlds.

   It is especially obvious here in Ziyuan City.

   It is unimaginable that the prosperity here exceeds that of the capital of the Kingdom of Fire.

  Whether it is a residential area or a commercial area, they are all neatly classified.

  There are also signposts along the way, even people who come here for the first time can use these signs to find the place they want to go.

  A rich and stable country, this may be the prosperous scene that countless Konoha ancestors longed for.

  Asma thought of the past at the Konoha Ninja School, after reading the glorious deeds of the former Hokage, she couldn't help feeling this way.

  Because the prosperity of the ghost country is not a city or a village, but the whole country is running in an orderly manner like a machine with a stable structure.

  Communications and transportation, including commercial prosperity, even if Asma doesn't want to admit it, he must recognize that this country has surpassed the Nation of Fire in many respects.

   These are things that can be seen everywhere in the kingdom of ghosts, and there is no need to hide them. He graduated from Konoha Ninja School as an honor student. Not only is he an excellent ninja, he has followed the daimyo for so many years, and many things can be seen at a glance with his eyes.

   And this has become a place where Asma is very puzzled.

  He is sure that before the Third Ninja World War, the kingdom of ghosts never had such a prosperous scene.

  The series of weird policies in the kingdom of ghosts began to be born in the kingdom of ghosts shortly after the three of Chiba Shiraishi betrayed Konoha.

   It is certain that the rise of the ghost country is no accident. There are faint shadows of Chiba Shiraishi and others behind it. It took more than ten years to manage this country in an orderly manner.

   Even the former Hokages may not be able to do this.

   This made Asma very puzzled.

  Why, as the rebellious Chiba Shiraishi, was able to do all this, but Konoha Ninja, who accepted Naruto's orthodox thinking, couldn't turn the Fire Country into a prosperous paradise like the Ghost Country?

   What is wrong with this?

  As a traitor, why did he do this?

  The opponent who turned the kingdom of ghosts into a paradise undoubtedly has the ability of the ideal Hokage, but turns his back on Konoha and enters the kingdom of ghosts... The more Asma thinks about it, the more incredible it becomes, and the more she thinks about it, the more incomprehensible she becomes.

  From a personal point of view, he hates Chiba Shiraishi who killed his brother and sister-in-law very much, but from the perspective of governing the country, the ability of the other party is likely to be higher than that of previous Hokage.

  Because of Konoha Hokage, there is no concept of 'country'.

  He didn't know about the former Hokage, but he knew that his father, the third Hokage, didn't have the concept of 'country'.

  In his eyes, there is only 'Konoha' in the world.

  Hokage is also the master of the world.

  But this kind of world, in the view of Asma, is undoubtedly narrow and selfish.

  He has read the deeds of the first generation of Hokage, and the more he thinks that the original intention of the first generation of Hokage to establish Konoha is by no means to achieve peace in a village, but to make the whole world peaceful. He wants to use the role of a leader to end all wars in the world.

   However, the first generation of Hokage did not break through the concept of "Hokage" in the end, nor did it break through the concept of "Konoha".

  The 'Jade' of Konoha, the 'Jade' of the Land of Fire, or...

  The more I think about it, the more confused Asma becomes.

   In the end, I could only sigh. If my father heard this thought, the other party would start to lecture him again.

  He also knows very well that this kind of thinking of his is not tolerated by Konoha.

   But I just followed the original idea of ​​the first generation of Hokage, wanting to protect a bigger 'Jade', not just Konoha's 'Jade', is it really wrong for me like this?

  Or, it wasn't me who was wrong, but Hokage's father.

  Without questioning and criticism, how can there be any progress?

  The current Konoha is as quiet as the grave of the dead, dead and silent, without any vitality to move forward.

  Using the word muddled to describe Asma's current state is undoubtedly the most appropriate word.

  He came to the country of ghosts to relax, but after seeing the ecology of the people in these countries, the enthusiastic smiles on the faces of the people who yearned for life were not survival, and he found that his heart was even more chaotic.

what is this? Has the person who inherited Hokage's true thinking abandoned Konoha's rebellious ninja?

  In the past few days, Asma has been wandering around Ziyuan City, carefully observing the life dynamics here, mocking herself more and more, or mocking the Konoha she was born in.

  What the previous generation of Hokage failed to break through until the death, a group of rebels completed it in more than ten years.

  This kind of joke is really not funny at all.

  Asma stood on the edge of the park at the top of the hill, from which she could overlook the entire Ziyuan City.

  It is almost dusk at this moment, and the huge city under the beautiful sunset looks extremely peaceful and beautiful.

  The more Asma appreciates the scenery here, the more she can feel the gap between Konoha, the Kingdom of Fire and this place.

  If it wasn't because he was a Konoha ninja, he would have a plan to settle here.

  Stable law and order, people live and work in peace and contentment, convenient transportation and other factors, once you get used to the life here and return to Konoha again, you may become unaccustomed to the inconvenience of life.

  People are lazy.

   Asma is no exception.

   "Speaking of which, in the past, Master Mizumon and Mr. Shikahisa of the fourth generation, because of Master Tsunade's visit to the Kingdom of Demons, seemed to have proposed to partially follow the policy of the Kingdom of Demons..."

  Asma suddenly remembered something.

   I remember that it was eight or nine years ago, and it was not long after the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato came to power.

   It is said that there was a lot of trouble at the Jōnin meeting, but in the end the matter was left alone.

  With the sacrifice of the Fourth Hokage, no one mentioned it.

  Fourth Hokage's new policy was almost overthrown by his father, Third Hokage, for his so-called balance strategy to stabilize the balance among ninjas.

   So, what about civilian ninjas?

   Asma looked at the crowds below, and suddenly felt enlightened, but her heart was more bewildered and puzzled.

   Just when he was doubtful about this, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

   As a Jonin, Asma naturally became alert, turned around to look at the person passing by, suddenly her face was stunned, and then became cold, with a strong killing intent beating faintly in her eyes.

   Asma clenched her fists, trying her best to restrain the hatred in her heart.

  Chiba Shiraishi.

  Although the image has changed since the time of Konoha, he still remembers this face clearly.

  The culprit who killed his brother and sister-in-law!

  The S-class felon who discredited the Land of Fire and Konoha!

  Even though his arrest warrant has been revoked by Konoha, many ninjas in Konoha still regard him as a vicious S-rank rebel.

  The trauma that the other party gave Konoha directly and indirectly caused many Konoha ninjas to hold grudges.

   Among them, Asma is one of them.

  The brother and sister-in-law whom I have always respected and admired the most died at the hands of the other party.

   It can be said that the hatred between them is as deep as the sea.

   "Seeing a familiar figure here, I thought it was someone, but I didn't expect it to be the Son of Hokage. Did you come here with the Fire Nation Mission?"

  Shiraishi glanced at Asma with a surprised smile.

  The last time I saw Asma with my own eyes was when Konoha was working.

  Because the other party is the second son of the third generation of Hokage, Shiraishi also paid a little attention to him when the other party was studying at the ninja school.

  Later, I also heard rumors about the other party. Because of differences in ideas, I had a quarrel with my father, the third generation of Hokage, and ran away from the village.

   It can be said that he is quite a rebellious Konoha ninja.

   "Hmph, you came here specifically to find me, right?"

  Asma didn't answer the question, but smiled coldly.

  Shiraishi didn't care about the coldness in Asma's eyes, and nodded with a smile. There is nothing worth hiding.

   "I'm just interested in the rumored rebellious Son of Hokage, so I came here to have a look."

   "Are you such a boring person?"

   Asma asked with a frown.

   "You are more interesting than I imagined, how can you say it's boring? Abandoning the future destined for prosperity and wealth, questioning the correctness of Konoha and Hokage, if you are not the son of Hokage, you are now bearing the name of rebellion like me."

   Baishi told the truth.

   Asma was silent.

  He knew that Baishi's words were not wrong.

  He used to fiercely oppose Konoha's 'Tama'. Strictly speaking, he is an unrest that undermines Konoha's stability. He should be imprisoned for reform, or defected to Konoha.

  But because his father is Hokage, he is safe in Konoha.

  At the daimyo's place, the other party also took good care of him without neglecting him at all.

  Son of Hokage, although he doesn't like it, he enjoys the various benefits and benefits brought by this identity after all.

   "I said, this is a very interesting thing. In my opinion, you, the son of Hokage, have such an alternative idea, which is simply the biggest shame of Hokage himself."

   "So you came to see our Konoha fun?"

   Asma took a deep breath, and looked at Shiraishi with cold eyes.

   Baishi still smiled lightly, walking forward until he reached Asma's side, then stood still slightly, looking at the city scene that Asma was looking at just now.

   "It doesn't matter what that kind of thing is. I'm just very interested in you. We are all people who rebelled against the will of fire, but I can see that you are very confused now. Fear and anxiety are all written on your face."

   Baishi said softly.

   Asma drew a little distance to the side.

   "As the information says, you are an extremely dangerous man. I will not be deceived by your sweet words. In the past, you also deceived Hokage-sama, right?"

   Asma said this, her face became serious.

   "There is nothing to deceive or not to deceive. At that time, I was just fulfilling the obligations of Konoha Ninja. Your father III believed me, that's all."

   "Sophistry."

  Deceit is deception, but to say such beautiful words, Asma felt that this man was trying to justify his defection from head to toe.

   "It's up to you. You don't have to be so bitter and bitter, I came to you, just want to chat with you casually. Except for Tsunade-sensei, I rarely chat with Konoha Ninja calmly. After all, people like Jiraiya always say prophecies and so on. I don't think there is a need to negotiate with him."

   Baishi said with a helpless smile.

  Really, what kind of a fool is he to believe that if he is eliminated, peace will be restored in the ninja world.

  He doesn't even know his own survival, which can be related to the peace of the ninja world.

  Even if there is no such alien as him, the truth has always been placed there, and sooner or later it will be revealed, it's just a matter of speed.

  If you really believe in the other party, Akatsuki's former leader, Yahiko, is a role model.

  Akatsuki has already used the history of blood and tears of her own development to prove that the road proposed by Jiraiya is worthless.

  The best wish is to bring the former Xiao to hell.

  Because of this, Nagato took a completely different path.

"chat?"

   Asma was somewhat taken aback.

  Seeing Asma's stunned expression, Shiraishi continued to smile and said, "Yes, I am more interested in your deviant ideas. Although I am Konoha's rebellious ninja, as rebels, we may have common topics. Because what the first Hokage failed to do when he was alive, I realized it. You must want to know the answer, right?"

  Seeing Asma's stunned expression, the smile on Shiraishi's face grew stronger.
