Escape From Konoha Chapter 385

  Chapter 385 The meeting ends

  Late, nine o'clock.

  The heated room is a meeting room for meetings.

  Because all parties participating in the talks have a very clear purpose, therefore, many lengthy and cumbersome etiquettes are also saved as much as possible.

  The representatives participating in the talks sat down around the huge round table in the center of the room. The guards and followers all stood diagonally behind. The only people who could sit down were Shiraishi, Hokage and Raikage.

  As soon as he sat down, Shiraishi asked: "Before the talks officially start, I would like to ask, Lord Hokage and Lord Raikage, before coming to the Land of Rain, should you have obtained the privilege of being the sole agent for this meeting from the daimyo of your country?"

  Different from the regime of the Oni Nation, the regimes of the Nation of Fire and the Nation of Thunder are split. Konoha and Yunyin can only represent the interests of Ninja Village at best, and cannot fully represent the entire country.

  If there is no authorization from the daimyo, then, whether it is Hokage or Raikage, the promises made in the talks will become meaningless.

  After Shiraishi asked this question, Lu Jiu, who was standing behind Hizhan, took out a document and unfolded the first page. On it was the official red seal granted by the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire.

   "This time, Hokage-sama is acting as the plenipotentiary agent for the talks in the Land of Fire. Please don't worry about this issue, Your Excellency Shiraishi."

  In fact, all the situations that can be considered have been fully considered at the Konoha high-level meeting.

  The only mistake is that they secretly invited Kazekage to come to help out, which was seen through by the Ghost Kingdom in advance. The Kazekage and others who are coming now may have been intercepted by the ninjas of the Ghost Kingdom, and they will not be able to arrive here in time.

  The Jonin Dodai behind the fourth Raikage over there also took out a document that is not much in the standard format, and it has the official seal of the Daimyo Prefecture of the Land of Thunder on it, which means that the fourth Raikage, like Hokage, is the full power of his country in this meeting.

   Seeing the official documents of the country displayed by both parties, Shiraishi nodded in satisfaction, crossed his hands on the table, coughed lightly, and then said: "Since both of you can represent your own country with full authority in this meeting, then I will stop talking nonsense. Now let's officially enter the topic of the meeting. According to the materials provided by the leader of Yuyin Village, Payne, it is mentioned that the Kingdom of Fire has illegally hijacked the name of the Kingdom of Rain and some of the nobles in power, thereby interfering in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Rain , and prompted the outbreak of the Civil War in the Land of Rain, is this true?"

   "...Yes, this matter was facilitated by Fire Nation and Konoha."

   Ri Zhan cannot deny this.

  The world is not black and white.

   No matter how vetoed it is, it cannot be avoided. Konoha and the Land of Fire Daming Mansion once interfered in the internal affairs of the Land of Rain.

   "However, that is the right of surveillance that must be exercised for the dependent countries. During the Third Ninja World War, the Daimyo of the Land of Rain signed an official document to surrender to the Land of Fire, and Kanzō, the new leader of Ugakure, also surrendered to Konoha on behalf of Ugakure. Later, the leader of Kanzang unfortunately disappeared, and his whereabouts are still unknown. It is not known whether he is dead or alive. Some people have reported that Ugakure is plotting to overthrow the regime of the Land of Rain."

  Hi Zhan said calmly.

  He said that these people did not want to renege on the accounts belonging to Konoha and the Kingdom of Fire, but just wanted to minimize the losses of Konoha and the Kingdom of Fire.

   "The prospecting leader is dead. Later, when Chief Payne searched for the treasured relics, he found a lot of letters that communicated with Konoha. According to the content of one of the letters, the time can be determined to be the period when Sanzho Hanzo was in power. When Konoha and Sand hidden in the third Ninja World War were at war, he betrayed the alliance with Rain hidden, causing Sansho Hanzo to die in Sand hidden trap. How to deal with this problem?"

   Shiraishi stared at Hizan's face.

   Hizaki smoked the cigarette stick, and sighed softly: "That's the result of Orochimaru's willful will. Now Orochimaru is Konoha's traitor, even if he wants to pursue responsibility, I'm afraid it won't be possible for the time being."

   Various issues involving the Land of Rain are bound to be related to various disputes related to the Third Ninja World War.

   "According to the correspondence between Kanzo and Konoha, it involves not only Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, but also the name of the elder Danzo of Ninzhi Anshi Village."

   "Well... During the war, the root has the power to kill first and then play on the battlefield. In fact, as Hokage, I also learned about it later. What's more, Danzo has seriously reflected on it later."

  Hi Zhan bit the bullet and explained.

  Anyway, Orochimaru is betraying Konoha's ninja at this time, as long as most of the blame for betraying Yuyin can be shirked on Orochimaru.

   "Really? I have a piece of information secretly provided by Yuyin here, please look at it, Mr. Hokage."

  Shiraishi took out a document, asked the ninja from the Oni Nation to take it, and handed it to Hizan.

  Ri Zhan was slightly puzzled, but still opened the document, which recorded a large number of personal photos, with names and brief biographical information attached to it, and the unified nationality was the Land of Rain.

  The professions of these people range from ninjas to civilians.

  At the end, the words 'unaccounted for' are marked, and the approximate date of disappearance is recorded.

"This is…"

   "I'd like to ask the Elder Shimura Danzō of your side. During the Kanzang-led period, many Ugakure ninjas were captured in Ugakure and sent to Konoha Genbu's experimental base. Since then, these Ugakure ninjas have disappeared and never appeared again. Not only that, Kanzang also secretly dispatched his subordinates to hunt down civilians in the land of rain. According to the subsequent investigation of the leader of Payne, these captured people were also used by Konoha Genbu as human experiments material."

  Looking at the names of the people recorded on the document, Ri Zhan also changed slightly.

  He wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

   Regarding this matter, he is also one of the insiders.

   "Playing with the lives of the people of the dependent country wantonly, and manipulating the Daimyo Mansion behind the scenes, interfering with the internal affairs of the dependent country by force. It is precisely because of seeing the sinister intentions of the country of fire and Konoha that the patriots of Yuyin village want the country to be independent, which triggered the civil war in the country of rain. Hokage, do you have anything else to say?"

   Baishi asked in a flat tone.

  Hi Zhan was silent for a while, and said slowly: "On behalf of the Daming House of the Nation of Fire, I am here to formally dissolve the affiliation between the two countries. From now on, the Nation of Rain will gain independent political, military, and economic power. In addition, the Nation of Fire will compensate the Nation of Rain financially and help the Nation of Rain resume production. After this matter, the Nation of Fire will send people to Yuyin to negotiate with the leader of Payne."

  Baishi looked at Hizhan, nodded after a long time and said: "Yes. Afterwards, the Kingdom of Fire can send officials to go to Yuyin Village to negotiate compensation."

  Hearing Shiraishi's reply, Hirizhan felt a little relieved. With what Baishi said, Hirzen was sure that the kingdom of ghosts would no longer intervene in the dispute between the kingdom of rain and the kingdom of fire.

  Then, the compensation negotiation is an issue between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, and has nothing to do with other countries.

  As for whether the Daming House of the Land of Fire will compensate the Land of Rain afterwards to fund the restoration of production in the Land of Rain, that is not something that Hizaki should consider, but that should be considered by the daimyo.

  The issue of the Land of Rain is a brief and successful conclusion.

  Although it is reasonable to continue to fight, it is indeed possible to win more benefits for the Kingdom of Rain.

   But this is ultimately the Land of Rain's own problem. During the cooperation with Nagato, Shiraishi only agreed to obtain independence for the Land of Rain during the talks. The reward that Nagato paid to Oni Nation was only worth this price at most.

  Therefore, after Konoha and the Nation of Fire backed down and recognized the independent status of the Nation of Rain in the world, Shiraishi immediately stopped pressing Hiruzen on the issue of the Nation of Rain, and did not intend to do unnecessary things.

   At this point in the talks, Shiraishi's goal was half accomplished.

  Next, all you need to do is to complete the deal with the Kingdom of Thunder and raise the status of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the world.

   In this way, there are still many places that Konoha and Fire Kingdom can use.

   Shiraishi didn't intend to waste time, and went directly to the second topic.

   "In view of the various incidents in the Land of Rain, what do you think, Lord Raikage?"

  Shiraishi brought the topic to the Fourth Raikage who had been silent.

coming! Everyone in Konoha felt awe-inspiring, knowing that the really important part of the meeting was coming.

  The Land of Rain was just an appetizer to everyone present.

  The real main course is only now on the scene.

  The fourth generation of Raikage snorted softly, and said in a mocking tone: "Willlessly interfere in the political and military power of his own dependent countries, and shift the responsibility of betraying his allies to the rebellious Ninja Orochimaru who has betrayed the village, and finally shamelessly cover up his own people. The country of fire and Konoha are really getting more and more depraved."

  Fourth Raikage's sarcastic remarks made Hiruzen feel a burning pain in the face.

   This is indeed a problem with Konoha and Fire Nation, but the face still bears the attack of the fourth generation of Raikage's words calmly, but the fist placed under the table is quietly clenched.

   The two Konoha advisers on the side, the jonoin squad leader Nara Shikahisa, were also secretly annoyed at Fourth Raikage's unscrupulous words.

   Konoha and the Land of Fire do have such problems, but how clean is Yunyin Village, the Land of Thunder?

  In order to expand its military strength, Yunyin Village collected secret techniques from all over the ninja world, and wiped out countless ninja villages in small countries.

  But in this meeting, even if he wants to trace back Yun Yin's responsibility, Raikage will prevaricate it with excuses.

  The time given to them to think about it was too short, and secretly inviting Fengying to help out was a hasty decision. They didn't have time to collect Yunyin's criminal evidence, which made Yunyin passive in the meeting.

  As for the kingdom of ghosts... there is no place to attack at all.

  Even the civil strife in the land of waves, the kingdom of ghosts is perfectly hidden in the rear. After all, it is the workers and farmers of the kingdom of waves that caused the civil turmoil in the kingdom of waves. The kingdom of ghosts only provided weapons and acted as a weapon merchant. Even if the Kingdom of Fire wants to use the Kingdom of Waves as an example, the Kingdom of Ghosts has the ability to escape.

   What's more, at this time, the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Thunder are fighting against the Kingdom of Fire. Even if they continue to fight with reason, the chances of the Kingdom of Fire winning are very small.

   "Then, what does Lord Raikage mean?"

  Shiraishi followed the words of the fourth Raikage to ask questions, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was just a play directed and performed by Shiraishi and the fourth Raikage.

   But Konoha cannot lose his temper here.

   "In addition to the above problems, the rumors about the decline of the Nation of Fire have recently become more and more intense in the ninja world. In the past, the Nation of Fire has always occupied the title of the most powerful country in the ninja world when Konoha was in power.

  Four generations of Raikage put forward such a point of view.

  The meaning of the picture is very clear.

   "On this matter, our country of ghosts also has the right to speak. When the country of ghosts and the country of the wind fought last year, Konoha ninja also joined it, and was defeated together with Kazekage of Sand Hidden. We are also worried about the quality of Konoha ninjas."

  In fact, in the War of the Kingdom of the Wind, Konoha Ninja's performance was more eye-catching than Sand Gakure Ninja.

  The Konoha ninja named Maitedai ​​almost drove Ruri to a corner.

   But since he wants to raise the value of himself and the Kingdom of Thunder, Shiraishi will naturally not recognize the strength of Konoha Ninja at this time.

   "The strength of a ninja represents the strength of a country's most important military power. It belongs to the country of fire and belongs to the glorious era of Konoha, which no longer exists. Then, certain adjustments should be made to the current structure of the ninja world. For example, the country of fire needs to give up the honorary title of the strongest country, and the title of Konoha's strongest ninja village should also be abdicated. Now the ninja world urgently needs a stronger country and ninja village to reset the new order of the ninja world. The village is none other than."

  Bai Shi continued talking without waiting for Ri Zhan to speak.

   "The Land of Fire and Konoha are indeed not as good as before, but I think it's better to take a long-term view on this matter. Besides, this also needs to be decided by the daimyos of the other big countries and the other Five Kages."

  After Ri Zhan finished speaking, Shiraishi took out two documents again, and said to Ri Zhan:

   "This is a letter of consent jointly signed by the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, Daimyo of the Land of Water, and Daimyo of the Land of Water, and Mizukage. Although none of them came in person, the resolution proposed by the Land of Ghosts has already been approved by them. They recognize that the Land of Lightning and Hidden Cloud can replace the Land of Fire and Konoha. Moreover, they also agree with the proposal that the Land of Ghosts become the sixth largest country."

   Konoha's Hirizan and his party fell into deep thought, with solemn expressions.

  I thought that we could make things difficult for Oni Nation and Thunder Nation, and try our best to save face for Fire Nation and Konoha, but I didn't expect Oni Nation to be so considerate.

  Even if the Nation of Fire vetoes it, three of the traditional five major countries, including the Nation of Thunder itself, have approved such a proposal. Even if they win over the Kingdom of Wind, which was excluded by the Kingdom of Ghosts, they still have a disadvantage in terms of votes.

   Powerless.

   "This proposal is very good. As Raikage, I agree to such a proposal on behalf of the Land of Thunder. In addition, last year on the frontal battlefield, the Ghost Country defeated the Wind Country, which has proved that its military strength can be compared with that of a major country. Therefore, I think it is feasible for the Ghost Country to become the sixth largest country, and I will officially approve it."

  Fourth Raikage said sternly, looking directly at Hirazan.

   Being locked by Shiraishi and Fourth Raikage together, Hizan who was alone felt great pressure.

  Just as Lu Jiu thought, the ambition of the Kingdom of Thunder is clearly revealed.

  But the purpose of the Kingdom of Ghosts is likely not to stop at the sixth largest country, but to cover up the deeper conspiracy by elevating itself to become the sixth largest country.

   In this matter, the rest of the countries may have been deceived by the kingdom of ghosts.

  After this meeting, the 'small country' named Ghost Country officially stepped onto the stage of a big country.

   And among the traditional five major powers, the rift between each other has deepened.

   Hirizhan looked up at Shiraishi's young and energetic face, feeling deeply powerless.

  The other party is too young.

  Based on this situation, the other party can still be in power for at least 20 years in the kingdom of ghosts.

  Twenty years...a length of time that makes Hiriza feel a little creepy.

   "On behalf of the Nation of Fire... Agree."

  In the conference room, Hirizhan seemed to drain all the energy in his body, and said this sentence.

  The talks went much smoother than expected.

  Konoha and the Land of Fire's knowledge and interests quite surprised Shiraishi.

  However, even if the Japanese Zhan is well hidden, Shiraishi can probably guess the combat strategy of retreating and forbearance.

   I have to say that this is a very wise choice.

  However, I will not give you this kind of stable development opportunity. Bai Shi sneered in his heart.

  Because of the dispersion of Konoha's high-level power, Konoha's internal political struggles, even from an outsider's perspective, are full of ridiculous meanings.

  There are so many handles that can be grasped and gaps that can be used.

  Although he has a lot of information about Konoha, Shiraishi does not plan to take action against Konoha in a short time.

  In order to maximize the intelligence advantage in hand, the best strategy should be to leave room for Konoha to use its remaining heat, wait until Konoha's development has improved to a certain extent, and then use the intelligence advantage in hand to let all the efforts of the opponent go to waste, and return to before liberation.

  From a personal point of view, Shiraishi believes that he is cautious and careful enough to treat Konoha.

   After the meeting ended, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

  The Kingdom of Thunder and Yunyin returned with a full load without expending any effort. Naturally, they were the ones who won the victory.

  The Kingdom of Ghosts has improved its international status and officially joined the list of major powers. It has also deepened the gap between the traditional five major powers and achieved its political purpose of participating in the talks.

  The Land of Fire and Konoha started to show weakness to others and weakened their international influence. To a certain extent, the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder exchanged precious time for their own development with peace of mind.

  The country with the biggest loss should be the country of rain.

  As the victor in name, but in addition to the country's restoration of independence, the domestic environment has been further severely damaged.

  Political and military shortages aside, the economic power used to maintain politics and the military can be said to be a major headache for the Land of Rain.

  Although Hokage Hizan represents the Nation of Fire and made a promise to compensate the Nation of Rain during the talks, neither the Nation of Ghosts nor the Nation of Thunder intends to get involved.

  The kingdom of ghosts, the kingdom of thunder, and the kingdom of fire have all achieved their political goals for participating in this meeting, and there is no need for tit-for-tat in the future.

  It was proposed by Nara Shikuhisa, the class leader of Konoha Kaminobu, that Konoha hoped to buy projectile bombs that can be used in conjunction with flying ninja equipment from Oni Ninja, and how much the Oni Ninja could sell, Konoha expressed his willingness to eat them all.

   "Regarding this matter, Yun Yin has already reached an arms sales agreement with the Oni Nation first. Even if Konoha has this wish, it should be ranked after us Yun Yin."

  Yunyin's melting ninja mound stood up, not to be outdone, and looked at Lu Jiu with a tough attitude.

  Lujiu just smiled and said: "Such a huge transaction volume, if Yunyin's side eats all of them, it would be too ugly. As far as I know, Yanyin, Wuyin, and even Sandyin all have a strong willingness to buy. Although Konoha has given up our honor as the most ninja village, we may not completely follow Yunyin's wishes when it comes to national security."

   Seeing Lu Jiu's attitude was equally tough, Tutai could only snort coldly.

   Lu Jiu chose to ignore the dissatisfaction with the earth platform.

  The official talks are over, so the alliance between the kingdom of ghosts and the kingdom of thunder has disintegrated.

  Facing two countries at the same time, the Fire Nation and Konoha are indeed a bit difficult to support alone, but facing one country alone, he will have sufficient confidence to deal with it.

   Between countries, in the final analysis, they will unite because of their interests, and they will also betray the covenant because of their interests.

   This kind of thing has long been common among big countries.

  Only by developing yourself is the last word to gain a foothold in the ninja world.

   Entrusting a country's military power entirely to other countries is definitely a way to ruin the country.

   "Regarding this matter, there is no need to quarrel with Tutai Shangnin and Shikaku Shangnin. At present, it will take a few months to process a sufficient quantity of this new type of bomb for export. I can take the lead in promising that after half a year, I will provide each of you with 10,000 bombs. Whether it is for actual combat or drills, there will be no shortage in a short time."

  Shiraishi crossed his hands on the table and smiled calmly.

   "Are there only 10,000 pieces?"

  Tutai is somewhat dissatisfied with this amount.

   "It is impossible to use all the manufacturing factories in the kingdom of ghosts to produce this kind of bomb."

   "Then about the technical information, can it also be traded?"

   "Ninja joked on the platform, the military has no such plan for the time being."

   Shiraishi refused calmly.

   As he spoke, Shiraishi turned his gaze to Hirazan, and asked, "Speaking of which, when I was on the road, I saw Jiraiya Jonin from Guicun."

   "Jiraiya? What happened to him?"

  Hizan, who wanted to downplay his own sense of existence, frowned slightly when he heard Shiraishi's words.

   "I didn't do anything to Jiraiya, but I think that Konoha needs to strengthen the management of the ninjas in his village. On the way here, Jiraiya Kamichi wanted to dissuade me from canceling this meeting to avoid the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War. I think your village is lacking in educating ninjas. For the ninjas in your own village, you need to strengthen the management. That's all for now. From the standpoint of outsiders, I can't say more."

   Baishi's words implied a warning.

  Hi Zhan's expression was quite embarrassing.

  Because of the sudden incident, the resolution among their high-level officials did not communicate with Jilaiye in advance, but only gave Jilaiye an order to stand by.

  But he didn't expect Zilai to be so reckless, blocking Baishi on the road.

   Hirizhan looked at the indifferent Ruri beside Shiraishi, and broke into a cold sweat for Jiraiya, the idiot disciple.

  Lu Jiu was also slightly speechless, he never expected such a thing to happen to Baishi on the way here.

  Compared with the other two of Sannin, Jiraiysama's political acumen is really poor. Lu Jiu sighed in his heart, and had to admit this fact.

  Konoha agreed to participate in the talks, which in itself means showing weakness and compromising, retreating into progress, and weakening international influence in exchange for development space.

   When Konoha decided on this matter, it was impossible for the Fourth Ninja World War to break out.

  On the contrary, after Konoha and Fire Nation made a decision and refused to negotiate, it was possible to trigger the Fourth Ninja World War.

   Jiraiya's actions are not only superfluous, but also embarrassing Konoha in front of outsiders.

  As Konoha Sannin, the most powerful ninja among Konoha, he is so ignorant in the political field. What do outsiders think of this?

   It is estimated that Konoha's management system will be mocked secretly, it is so unbearable.

   "Regarding this matter, it is our fault that we did not discuss with Master Jiraiya in advance, which led to him making such a move. For this, on behalf of Master Jiraiya, I apologize to everyone in the kingdom of ghosts."

  Lu Jiu bowed his head sincerely.

  Although there are some childish behaviors of helpless Jiraiya, he is still a member of Konoha after all. As the squad leader of Jonin, it is natural for him to express himself and speak for his own people.

   "It's okay, I just said it casually. If I really cared, I wouldn't just do nothing."

   I don't know if it's a warning, or if I really don't mind this kind of thing happening, Baishi left this sentence, stood up from his seat, and left the conference room first with Liuli.

  Multiple congresses have talked about this and it is officially over.

  (end of this chapter)
