Escape From Konoha Chapter 384

  Chapter 384 meeting

   Being called out by Shiraishi, Zilai was not embarrassed, just smiled, and began to change the subject:

   "It's amazing. My technique, not to mention perception ninjutsu, is hard to see through even with a blind eye. Kid Shiraishi, your perception ninjutsu is really extraordinary. Can you see through the existence of a more essential soul?"

  Jirai also seems to be confirming some information.

   Jiraiya is very confident in Mt. Myogi's hidden secret technique. Using this method, he has sneaked into many areas that can be called the Jedi of the ninja world, and collected a lot of important information.

  However, this was the first time he was so directly noticed by someone.

  However, Jiraiya didn't feel discouraged, and he didn't intend to keep hiding.

   It is also his heart's wish to be able to have such face-to-face conversations again.

  As for Jiraiya's temptation, Shiraishi directly chose to ignore it, and just said in a light tone: "You don't need to say hello, just explain your purpose, Master Jiraiya. I still have important things to do next. For Tsunade-sensei's sake, I will give you a minute at most."

   "At any rate, I was also a companion from the same village in the past. Isn't it a bit unfeeling to only give one minute?"

   Jiraiya spoke half-jokingly.

   It's just that his joke got Shiraishi's cold reaction.

   Jilai also sighed, playing the emotional card is indeed a useless strategy, although this is expected, Zilai still feels disappointed.

  Then, he packed up his lost mood, looked at the three of Shiraishi with serious eyes, and tentatively said: "Boy Shiraishi, is there really no way to have peace talks between the kingdom of ghosts and the kingdom of fire? You know, your actions are likely to trigger the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War."

  This sentence is a warning to Shiraishi earnestly and earnestly, telling him not to go to the Land of Rain for talks.

   "Fifteen seconds have passed, Master Jiraiya, you still have forty-five seconds."

  Shiraishi looked at Jiraiya indifferently, still unmoved by what Jiraiya said.

   "Can't you really think about it seriously? If there is an accident in the meeting, war will break out in the ninja world, and the kingdom of ghosts will also be involved. What good will it do for you?"

   Jiraiya had a serious face, clenched his fists tightly, and stared at Shiraishi's expressionless face.

   "Now your identity is no longer a rebellious ninja, and the country of ghosts has become a powerful country recognized by the big countries. Your every move will have a huge impact on the ninja world. I hope you can consider things from the perspective of peace in the ninja world. If you stop now, everything is still too late."

  Hearing what Jiraiya said, Shiraishi breathed out lightly, looked straight at Ziraiya and said:

   "Huh... I thought that after the last incident, you would be more or less mature, but I didn't consider that you still insist on this stubborn idea. This is my biggest mistake."

   "It has nothing to do with my stubbornness, I just hope that you can put the overall situation first."

   Jiraiya looked at Shiraishi seriously.

   "Then what is the overall situation that matters? Is the overall situation of Konoha the most important? I am now representing the interests of the country and the people of the ghost country, and the position of Konoha and the country of fire. That is not something I should consider. On the contrary, if you can convince the kingdom of fire from the very beginning not to intervene in the civil war in the country of rain, things will not turn out like this. Is it too late for you to say this now?"

   Baishi asked back.

   Jiraiya smiled wryly: "I did try to dissuade Daimyo and Sarutobi-sensei at the beginning, but failed."

  Shiraishi was slightly dumb, and Ruri and Ayane also looked like they didn't know what to say to Jilai.

   "In other words, you can't stop the disaster caused by your own people, so you came here to stop me, the enemy, and cancel this meeting?"

   Jilai also nodded embarrassingly.

  Shiraishi stared at Jiraiya's slightly embarrassed face with many wrinkles on it, sighed and said: "Master Jiraiya, you are not young anymore. Some words are not suitable for me, a junior, to teach you in turn. Since the high-level of a country has decided a certain policy that is beneficial to the country, then, as a member of this country, it is reasonable to give full support instead of dragging the country. Even the Daimyo of the Fire Nation will be dissatisfied with you, and your actions will even make the Fire Nation Daimyo question your loyalty to Konoha and the Fire Nation. At that time, it will be a disgrace to both ends."

  Ji Laiya's face was slightly taken aback, and a momentary hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he quickly became firm again.

   This matter has naturally been considered, but he is still worried, and implements the idea that peace between himself and the ninja world is the most important.

  Because this is his destiny!

  Seeing Jiraiya's expression, Shiraishi knew that what he just said was basically meaningless.

  So, he didn't want to waste time here with Zilai.

  He has said everything he can say.

  Since he didn't approve of it, and he didn't want to wake up from his own world, then Baishi naturally didn't need to continue talking with him.

   "Wait! I have nothing to say!"

   Seeing the three of Baishi continue to move forward, Ji Lai also yelled loudly, trying to make the three of them stop.

   "It's enough, your remarks can't impress me, and I don't want to listen to your so-called peaceful remarks. You can pretend that I am not a pacifist, and I am not interested in the will of fire and the fate predicted by Mount Miaomu. In short, don't come to me to promote your ideas. This time I don't want to make extra troubles, you just look for your son of prophecy."

   Couldn't tell whether it was pity or ridicule, Shiraishi disappeared from the spot with the instant body technique.

  Liuli and Ayane looked at each other, followed Shiraishi's footsteps, and had no desire to stay and talk to Jiraiya.

   "Damn! Still failed..."

   Zilai was unwilling to look at the direction the three were leaving, hesitated for a while, and did not step forward to stop them.

  Baishi alone is not enough for him to deal with alone. In addition to the other two who may be stronger than Baishi, even if they summon the two immortals of Miaomu Mountain, the situation of the battle will not change much.

  Intuition told him that if he did something here, he would definitely be killed by the three of Baishi!

   Therefore, Jilai could only helplessly watch the three leave, unable to change this fact.

  On the snowy wilderness, the three of Shiraishi were already far away from Jiraiya's location, and their location was already very close to the Land of Rain.

   "As a Sannin, what I said just now is really out of place. Seeing that the ninja I once admired has become such a virtue, I don't know what to say for a while."

   Ayane said regretfully.

   Once upon a time, she was still a Konoha ninja, and she also respected the name of Sannin.

  The Sannin are not only followers of Konoha Naruto, but also obtained the inheritance of the three holy places of the ninja world. In the second ninja world war, they shined brilliantly.

   Orochimaru who has already defected does not need to comment, but what he saw today made Ayane a little disappointed.

  Ayane couldn't connect the current Jiraiya with the past Sannin.

   "Indeed, such a naive idiot is the only one in the ninja world. Anyway, he is also one of the biggest contributors to Konoha's victory in the second ninja world war. I didn't expect to say such a thing from the standpoint of Konoha ninja. It is really naive."

   Liuli nodded in approval.

  Intervened in the battlefield of the Land of Rain. For this reason, the Kingdom of Demons consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and finally led to this meeting. How could it be possible to give up because of Jiraiya's few words.

   Liuli didn't know how to evaluate Jiraiya, should he be naive or reckless? Or both.

  However, Jiraiya's matter has nothing to do with Ruri.

  She immediately put aside the matter of Jiraiya, thinking that there was no need to waste energy on this kind of person.

   With the three of them running at high speed, the snow scene quickly changed to a rain scene, and the three of them had already arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Rain.

  Shiraishi turned his head and glanced at Ayane, who nodded understandingly.

   "Let's separate here, leave it to me over there."

   After finishing speaking, Ayane's figure flashed, left the team, and disappeared from Shiraishi's eyes.

   "Is it okay for her to go alone? The opponent is one of the Five Kages, as well as the guards and Anbu Jōnin to which she belongs. Her moves are not suitable for dealing with multiple people."

   Liuli looked at the direction Ayane was leaving, slightly turned her head and asked.

   "It doesn't matter, General Earth and Water Dragon God also passed by together, and now all accidental factors have been ruled out, and then, we can have a good talk here. In short, go to find Raikage and the others first, they should wait urgently."

"good."

  Since Baishi has considered everything, Liuli no longer objects.

  The sound of rain continued.

  Under the verandah of the roadside hotel, there is a small rest area that can only accommodate five or six people, and it is used to rest the passing travelers.

  The fourth generation of Raikage folded his arms and sat on the bench under the veranda, closing his eyes and resting his mind. The clothes on his chest were open, and his attire was very cool, but he was not affected by the cold air outside.

   On his left, stood a middle-aged man wearing a black eye patch over his left eye.

  Wearing Yunyin's ninja uniform, with a calm demeanor, he stood patiently under the porch, waiting for something with Fourth Raikage.

  This middle-aged man is called Tutai, who was once the courtier of Yunyin's third generation of Raikage.

   On the right of the Fourth Raikage, are Kamoin's younger generation Jonin, Nozomi and Darui.

  Different from Tutai, who was the minister of the humerus of Yunyin during the third generation of Raikage, the two of them are jounin carefully selected by the fourth generation of Raikage from the young generation of the village.

   Not only is he loyal to Raikage, but his strength is second to none among Yun Yin's young Jonin, and he is deeply trusted by the fourth generation of Raikage.

  Different from Shillo's serious character, Darui was scratching his head while looking at the top of the veranda boredly, staring at the raindrops dripping down the veranda without blinking, maintaining this dazed posture.

  At this moment, Xi's expression moved slightly. As an auxiliary functional ninja in Raikage's team with the ability to perceive, heal, and illusion, the chakra he released obviously sensed something. He turned his head and said to Fourth Raikage: "Master Raikage, they are here."

  The Fourth Raikage, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, shining brightly.

   "Is it finally here? It's so troublesome that we have been waiting for so long."

   Darui complained.

   "Not too long, only ten minutes. Alright, Darui, don't look unmotivated, and be careful to embarrass Raikage-sama."

   Xi smiled and said.

   "Yeah, sorry, I just don't have the drive."

  Darui touched the back of his head, although he said that he was not motivated, but his face was full of enthusiasm.

  It's okay to be lazy in front of your own people, but you must maintain the style that Yunyin Jonnin should have in front of outsiders.

  Fourth Raikage stood up from the bench and looked into the distance. Two figures quickly shuttled through the rain and quickly stood in front of them.

   "You are late."

  Fourth Raikage snorted softly.

   "Sorry, I ran into Konoha's Jiraiya on the road by chance, so I was a little delayed."

  Shiraishi explained to Lei Ying and the others without concealment.

  His words slightly surprised Fourth Raikage and his party.

   "Jiraiya? That Konoha Sannin? Will his appearance affect this meeting?"

  Fourth Raikage didn't speak, but the earth platform beside him was keenly aware of something, and asked quickly.

  Baishi glanced at the earthen platform, and said calmly: "Don't worry, the matter has been resolved, and a Konoha Sannin will not have any impact on this meeting."

   Baishi's words made Tutai's heart tremble.

   "I remember that in the War of the Kingdom of Wind last year, that Sannin was once defeated by Your Excellency Shiraishi. You said that the matter was resolved. Could it be the general..."

  Although it was the Kingdom of Ghosts that led to the establishment of this meeting, Tutai does not want the Kingdom of Thunder and Yin Yin Village to be used as weapons by the Kingdom of Ghosts.

   It is definitely not a wise move to kill Konoha Sannin at this time.

   "I thought too much about it on the earth platform. What I said was to solve it, but I just used reason to make Zilai also retreat. I, like everyone, will not make extra troubles at such a time, which will cause unexpected changes in the meeting."

  Baishi's remarks reassured Tutai a little.

  He was afraid that Shiraishi would make a mistake and accidentally kill that Sannin, which would inevitably lead to a complete collapse of their next meeting with Konoha.

   "Since Zilai can't pose a threat to the talks, then ignore him, and let's start the journey now."

  The fourth generation of Raikage made a final decision.

  The rest had no objections and rushed towards the meeting place.

  On the road, the earth platform was slightly behind the four generations of Raikage and others, and kept moving at the same speed as Shiraishi, and asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency Shiraishi, I have a question to ask."

  Shiraishi twitched his nose lightly.

   "You're welcome, Dodai Shinobu, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

   "About this meeting, will Yuyin Village also join?"

  Tutai seems to be very concerned about this issue.

   "No, the leader of Yuyin Village, Payne, and I have already discussed in advance. During the talks, the Kingdom of Rain handed over the negotiation rights to our Kingdom of Ghosts. Yuyin will not attend this meeting."

   Baishi told the truth about this matter.

  Tutai nodded clearly.

   "That is to say, Your Excellency Baishi, do you know who the new leader of Yuyin Village is, Payne?"

   "Don't you care about this, Dodai Ninja?"

   Baishi did not answer the question.

"Yes, Yu Yin, the leader of the Payne, has only made a hand once in the contest of the country of Fire, but left a mysterious and powerful impression. Only one hit will destroy the huge country of rain. In the ninja, I don't think many ninjas can do this. Therefore, I think this Payne leader is likely to be the same as mountain peppers. The leader of the country of rain. His attitude can not be completely ignored. "

  Taitai analyzed in this way.

  He did not deny himself, and had a strong interest in the identity of the leader of Yuyin, Payne.

   "The potential power of Yuyin Village can be analyzed from such a short piece of information. Your village's intelligence system is really unexpected."

   Baishi exclaimed.

   "Where, compared with the kingdom of ghosts, Yunyin actually has many shortcomings. For example, the powerful bomb paired with flying ninja equipment is really eye-opening... Can you sell it to us in the future? Even if it is a little more expensive, our country plans to introduce some. The power of the country of fire and Konoha is too powerful. Our country needs to introduce such powerful weapons to ensure the country's territorial security."

  Tutai said with a smile, shifted the topic to the bomb weapon developed by the ghost country, and proposed to buy it.

   Baishi turned his head and replied in a small but clear voice: "No problem, open the door for business, the more customers the better. For specific matters, how about discussing after the meeting?"

   "Then it's settled. I hope that the relationship between our two parties can continue to be friendly."

   "Well, I also wish for such a thing."

  Baishi nodded with a smile, and talked with the earth platform very harmoniously.

  As for the sincerity in the discourse of both parties, it is that the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom.

  If the military power of a country is always dependent on other countries, then this country will inevitably be restricted everywhere in the world.

  The strength of military power is equivalent to the quality of the country in war, and war is the continuation of politics. Military and politics have never been separated.

  A country like the Kingdom of Thunder that is very keen on military development will never give up the dominance of the war to the Kingdom of Ghosts, and will rely on imported weapons from the Kingdom of Ghosts.

   Then, there is only one purpose left.

   Crack the weapons of the ghost country, build weapons factories, achieve self-supply, and firmly control the dominance of the war in your own hands.

  According to the information collected by the wandering witches in the ghost country, unidentified ninjas have poured into many countries recently, and they have begun to secretly collect intelligence information on technical personnel from various countries. The answer is obvious which country is leading behind the scenes.

  However, if the Kingdom of Thunder wants to pose a threat to the Kingdom of Ghosts, it will not be able to do so in a short time.

  In the first battle of the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Ghosts has hidden and unused power, more than outsiders imagined.

  Whether it is Obito's time-space kaleidoscope Sharingan, or Lin's perfect human power, they are well hidden in the dark and have no choice to use.

  The only place where there is too much exposure is the power of Liuli's Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

  But it is precisely because of this that many of his abilities can be hidden, which has already forced the Kingdom of the Wind to submit.

  After the talks, compared with the five major powers, it was the Akatsuki Organization, more precisely, Nagato, who had to be more careful.

   One blow destroyed the Daming Mansion in the Land of Rain without hurting a single person or destroying more land. It spread to the streets of the capital city of the Land of Rain, just enough to cover all the territory of the Daming Mansion. Such terrible destructive power, such amazing chakra control power, made Shiraishi feel alert.

  Although many people speculated that it was caused by some kind of powerful forbidden technique, which required complex preconditions to trigger, Shiraishi was more willing to believe that it was just the result of Nagato's casual exploration.

  The upper limit of the reincarnation eye is still an unknown number to Shiraishi.

  Are they announcing to the restless Nation of Fire that Yuyin is not invincible, or are they using the Nation of Fire as a cover, and the real purpose is to demonstrate against the Nation of Ghosts... In Shiraishi's view, there are two possibilities.

  At dusk, in fact, if you don't look at the clock, you can hardly tell whether it is night or dusk in this gloomy and bad weather.

  Shiraishi, Raikage and others entered a main city in the Kingdom of Rain.

   This is a relatively well-known big city other than the capital of the Kingdom of Rain, and it is also the location of the meeting.

   But even the major cities in the Land of Rain are by no means prosperous.

  The streets are deserted, and beggars can be seen everywhere. The shops are open in twos and threes, and the shopkeeper is also sitting listlessly in the shop. Occasionally, there will be a few customers. It gives people the feeling that it is no different from the villages and towns in the countryside.

  With the outbreak of the Civil War in the Land of Rain, most of the country is home to old people and children who cannot work. Many local businessmen in the Land of Rain are also far away from their homeland and are forced to go to other countries to seek development.

  A depressing and gloomy view of Rain Country.

   Seeing such a scene, no matter if it was Shiraishi or Raikage, they turned a blind eye.

  Maybe there will be sympathy in their hearts, and there will be so-called compassion, but before showing mercy to other countries, they have their own country's position and will not easily express their attitude on their faces.

  Walking through the streets of a busy city or a slum, Shiraishi and his party arrived at the mansion where the lord resided.

   This lord's mansion, after paying the rent, was temporarily requisitioned by the ghost country and played an important role as the meeting place.

  The military ninjas of the ghost country also set up a strict cordon here in advance to prevent idlers from disturbing the normal progress of the talks.

   Originally, Shiraishi also considered launching talks in Yuyin Village, but Nagato sternly rejected this idea as soon as it was born.

   Therefore, under the premise of the destruction of the Daming Mansion in the Country of Rain, the only option is to choose the meeting place from another big city.

  When they came to the main gate of the city lord's mansion, Shiraishi and Fourth Raikage saw that Hiruzasaru Sarutobi, the third Hokage, arrived at the main gate one step ahead of time, followed by three people beside Hirazan the third Hokage.

  The two advisers of Konoha moved to Koharu and Mito Menyan, as well as Nara Shikahisa, the head of the ninja class.

  It can be said that the high-level Konoha that can gather, except for the root leader Shimura Danzo, have all gathered together.

   It shows that Konoha and Fire Nation attach great importance to this meeting.

   "Long time no see, Hokage-dono, it's really hard for you to come from afar."

  As the saying goes, if you reach out and don't hit a smiling face, people who don't know Baishi's concerned greetings will think how close the relationship between the two parties is.

  Hi Zhan knows that even if he feels resentment in his heart, he still has to smile generously on his face, expressing that he doesn't care about the long journey, and he must not let outsiders look down on his demeanor as Hokage.

   "Both advisor elders, it's the first time we meet on this occasion. It's been a long journey. Shinobu Shikakusami too."

  Shiraishi also expressed his condolences to the three of Zhuanshu Koharu, Mito Menyan and Nara Shikahisa.

  As the initiator of the talks, even if you know that the upcoming talks will be very intense, you still have to save face.

   "It doesn't matter, no matter how you say it, we are also ninjas, so this distance is not a problem."

  Responsible to Xiaochun, who turned to sleep, communicated with Shiraishi with a flat face, as if he didn't mind the existence of Shiraishi and Liuli, even though they were S-rank rebels wanted by Konoha.

   "That's good, okay, everyone, please go in and rest, the official meeting will be held after nine o'clock in the evening."

   Shiraishi said with a smile.

   "Then I will be disrespectful, Xi, Darui, Tutai, let's go in."

  Fourth Raikage and Konoha had nothing to reminisce about, so they called their names and entered the mansion first.

   "Yes, Raikage-sama. Then, Hokage-dono, Shiraishi-dono, I will excuse you first."

  Tutai bowed slightly, then followed in the footsteps of the fourth generation of Raikage, and went to the mansion to rest temporarily. After such a long journey, they also felt a little tired.

  After Lei Ying and the others entered the mansion, Shiraishi couldn't help sniffling again. The cold air outside made him very uncomfortable.

   "Aren't you guys going to go in and get some repairs?"

   After coughing for a while, Shiraishi asked aloud.

   "Ah, we still have some things to do here. Your Excellency Shiraishi seems to have caught a cold. I think it would be better to go in quickly to keep warm. If the illness is serious, it may prevent the smooth progress of the meeting."

   Lujiu noticed the fact that Shiraishi had a cold, and with a suitable reason, urged Shiraishi and Liuli to quickly enter the mansion to rest, so as not to make people suspicious.

   "It's okay, I'm a medical ninja, and I will control my condition."

   This made everyone present a little speechless.

   It is precisely because he is a medical ninja and catches a cold at this time that people feel that his words are not convincing at all.

  However, since it was Lu Jiu's kindness, Shiraishi was embarrassed to refuse, nodded and said, "The air outside is indeed a bit cold, Liuli, let's go in to get warm. You guys, it's best not to stay outside for too long. I have already prepared a sumptuous dinner, so don't forget to enjoy it."

   "Thanks for the reminder, we know."

  Baishi nodded slightly, and entered the mansion through the main entrance with Liuli.

  Just as he stepped over the threshold, Baishi's footsteps suddenly stopped.

  His actions attracted the attention of several people in Ri Zhan.

  Before Hirizhan asked, Shiraishi thought for a moment, turned his head and smiled at Hirizhan: "When I entered the door, I suddenly remembered that there was one thing I forgot to tell Hokage-dono—that is, Kazekage-dono will not come anymore."

"Varied…"

   Mito Menyan was stunned for a moment, and before he could ask, he saw the warning eyes of Zhuanshu Xiaoharu, and immediately shut up.

   Ignoring Mitomonyan's astonished expression, Shiraishi continued: "I don't like uninvited guests very much, so I asked someone to invite Kazekage-dono to drink tea in advance, so as not to let irrelevant people disturb the progress of the meeting. If Hokage-dono intends to wait for Kazekage-dono to arrive here, then I think this matter is unnecessary. What do you think, Hokage-dono?"

  In Shiraishi's view, Konoha's approach is completely superfluous.

  Do you really think that by calling Kazekage together, you can reduce the pressure in the meeting?

  In order to facilitate the establishment of this meeting, he has already spent so much effort, and he even spared no expense to win over the two daimyos from the Land of Earth and the Land of Water. How could it be possible for Kazekage to come here at this time and disturb the meeting?

  Although there is nothing to worry about, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the talks, Baishi must rule out all unexpected factors in advance.

   After saying this, Bai Shitou did not return, and entered the mansion with steady steps.

  Looking at Shiraishi's figure entering the mansion without delay, Hirizhan felt that the calm expression on his face could not be maintained at all.
