Escape From Konoha Chapter 760

  Chapter 760 Justice from Heaven

  With Ohnoki's loud speech, the atmosphere in the meeting room seemed to become more silent, and there was a sense of urgency that made it impossible for people to communicate smoothly.

   "Your Excellency Tukage, you are so imposing. You actually planned to cut straight to the point from the very beginning."

   When everyone was silent, Bai Shi, who was drinking tea from a teacup, suddenly laughed softly, which seemed particularly abrupt in this extremely quiet conference room.

   "Don't say such sarcastic remarks here, Your Excellency, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Ghost Country, the old man thinks that Akatsuki's threat has endangered the safety of the ninja world, so I have to discard the meaningless part. After all, we need to act as soon as possible now to eradicate the threat in its infancy."

  Onoki once again stated his point of view, squinting some cloudy eyes, even though his body was old, his body revealed a fierce aura, approaching Shiraishi.

   "I didn't mean that, I just think what Your Excellency Tuying said is biased."

  Shiraishi put down his teacup calmly, kept a smile on his face, and looked straight at Onoki who was sitting on the seat and speaking.

   "What do you mean by this, Your Excellency the Minister of Military Affairs?"

  Onoki frowned, and seemed to be very puzzled by Baishi's words. He didn't feel that what he just said was unfair.

  Even Kuroto and Chitu standing behind Ohnoki stared at Shiraishi with frowns, no matter how dull they were, they knew that this young man, who looked very young, was hostile to Iwagakure and deliberately made things difficult for them.

  Shiraishi sighed, and said in a helpless tone: "As Mifune said before, it is inconvenient for warriors to participate in disputes among ninjas. The so-called Five Kages Conference, in the final analysis, is nothing more than a country that has lost its tailed beast to collect debts from poachers. Our country of ghosts has no such demand, so if we really want to bring the country of ghosts into the chariot of the alliance, we should at least pay an equal reward."

   "This is no longer something that a country can deal with, and I heard that Nanao, who has been missing for almost 20 years, was stolen by the people of your ghost country. Can it be said that it has nothing to do with the ghost country?"

   It was not Onoki who spoke, but Terumi Mei, the fifth Mizukage who was closest to Shiraishi's right hand, seemed very dissatisfied with Shiraishi's attitude of shirking responsibility.

   "Compared to the last one, you are still too immature, Mizukage-dono. Hmm... But there are rumors that when Konoha was attacked a few days ago, Mizukage of Kirigakure and Rokuo Jinchuriki were also taken away by Akatsuki's people, so are you anxious to hear my rebuttal to Tsuchikage at this time? You are really a quick-tempered young man."

  Shiraishi's slow answer, although the tone is very polite, but the meaning in the words is as harsh as a sharp knife, merciless, and exposes the embarrassment of Kirigakure.

   Terumi Mei's beautiful face was instantly gloomy, and she glared at Shiraishi incomparably livid.

   Standing behind her, Jonin Aoi, Ghost Lantern Moon, also cast a hostile gaze on the people in the Kingdom of Demons, and seemed to want to fight immediately before giving up.

   "Indeed, with my qualifications, compared with everyone here, it is indeed relatively shallow... But I know the truth of the lips and teeth, but the kingdom of ghosts does not seem to understand this."

   Terumi Mei kept his ashen complexion, and after taking a deep breath, his gaze swept across Shiraishi's body like a sharp blade.

  "Because our country of ghosts doesn't value the power of tailed beasts very much. To protect the country, we don't need such uncontrollable chakra creatures as tailed beasts. Taking a step back, even if there are tailed beasts in the country, they still have the strength to protect tailed beasts from being violated, and we don't need to fake others. But in this regard, Kirigakure is very lacking. Besides, the truth of dead lips and teeth should not be taught by a closed village like Kirigakure.

  Shiraishi spoke frankly, with the same smile on his face. Even though Terumi Mei stared at him from the side, he still didn't turn his head to look at each other. He played with the teacup seriously, as if he felt that playing with the teacup was more interesting than holding a meeting.

  Looking at the tense situation, Mifune knew that if he didn't step forward to stop it, Kirigakure and the people from the Oni Land would definitely fight.

  The Minister of Military Affairs of the Ghost Kingdom was as sharp-tongued as ever at the meeting, without mercy.

   "Both of you, this is a meeting place for neutral countries. Please refrain from using force and restrain your unexploited violence. Peace is the most important thing."

   Mifune glanced at Shiraishi and Terumi Mei, coughed lightly, and reminded them that this is not their territory, but a neutral place, and coercing each other by force is a prohibited behavior in the rules.

   "Excuse me, Your Excellency Mifune."

  Terumi Mei took another deep breath, trying to calm down her fluctuating mood.

  Over there, Tsunade smiled without seeming to care.

   "Boy Shiraishi, you are really different from when you were in Konoha. Mr. Sarutobi told me more than once about your aggressive attitude in the meeting."

  In this formal meeting, Tsunade saw Shiraishi's attitude for the first time, which was completely different from the image he had seen in the past.

  Obviously gentle and elegant, with a friendly smile, but every word is like a knife that stabs people's vitals, grabbing people's pain points and attacking them.

   "I'm just fighting for the legitimate rights and interests of the ghost country. Tsunade-sensei, I don't mean to target you. Anyway, before the meeting, you Five Kages must have communicated first, but excluding our ghost country is a kind of discrimination in itself. And now you are going to tie our ghost country to a chariot and fight a war that does not belong to our ghost country... I believe that anyone who hears it will not feel good."

  Shiraishi opened his mouth to analyze with reason and evidence, even if he thought that he was jointly hostile by the Five Kages present, he could not take a step back.

   "But we do this to take care of the safety of the ghost country. The emergence of the seventh largest country in the ninja world will affect the international balance. And the problem of tailed beasts..."

  Luo Sha decided to assist Onoki and Terumi Mei to confront Shiraishi.

  The discord between Sha Yin and the Ghost Country, and frequent small-scale conflicts on the border, have long been a tacit fact.

   "I've already said the problem with the seven tails. Our ghost country is not interested in collecting tailed beasts, and there is no such thing as Renzhuli." Shiraishi interrupted Luo Sha's words and continued: "Also, even if the seventh largest country appears, I don't think it's a big deal. In the end, it's your own incompetence that failed to protect the property left by your ancestors. As for disrupting the international balance, it's even more ridiculous."

   "Should you protect Akatsuki like this, can it be regarded as a testimony of the collusion between your ghost kingdom and Akatsuki?"

   Onogi said maliciously.

   "Your Excellency Tukage, in the war more than two years ago, your four-nation ninja coalition declared war on the ghost country on trumped-up charges, causing our ghost country to suffer heavy losses. I haven't asked you to settle the matter. Are you so eager to fight again? Moreover, I remember that it was not our side that lost in the end and begged for peace talks."

   "Cut, sharp-mouthed brat."

  Onoki snorted with a livid face, being stimulated by Shiraishi's words.

   After calming down the irritability in his heart, Onoki opened his mouth, wanting to continue to say something.

   "You guys are all enough!"

  Sudden roar, followed by a bang, exploded on the phantom solid wood tabletop, lightning scattered, and even the lights in the conference room began to flicker, attracting everyone's attention.

  Fourth Raikage's fist sank into the solid wood of the table, and the fist was entwined with dazzling lightning, which shot out everywhere, his trembling brows, trembling facial muscles, and the lightning that seemed to swallow everything in his eyes completely wiped out his patience.

   "Your Excellency Raikage, do you have any other opinions?"

   Baishi laughed.

   ignored Shiraishi, Fourth Raikage just swept Tsunade, Onoki, Rasa, and Terumi Mei fiercely.

   "Konoha, Iwagakure, Sagakure, Kiriggakure... Akatsuki, a terrorist organization that specializes in collecting S-level rebels from all over the world, came out of your four villages. Konoha, where Hokage is located, has provided many dangerous rebels, fueling Akatsuki's arrogance more than once. Therefore, this time, forming an alliance army to destroy Akatsuki, you four villages must join in and pay for the major mistakes you made in the past, otherwise I will never forgive you!"

  Fourth Raikage's eyes are very scary. If Shiraishi's strength is expressed implicitly between the lines, then Fourth Raikage's strength is displayed externally to deter opponents.

  Just the astonishing chakra that keeps gushing out of the body is enough to make one's heart jump.

   "Raikage, what you said is too arrogant. Although forming an alliance army to deal with Akatsuki is an act we acquiesce to, but after all, it has not yet been officially formulated, and the real leader has not yet been decided."

  Onoki glanced dissatisfiedly at the Fourth Raikage. Like his father, the Third Raikage, his mind was full of muscles and strength, and he didn't know how to hide it.

   "The leader of the alliance army is none other than me. Whether in terms of strength or credit, Yunyin is the most outstanding. After all, in the Xiao organization, there is no Yunyin's rebellion, nor the experience of colluding with the Xiao organization. This alone is enough to prove Yunyin's leadership."

  The fourth generation of Raikage swept across the crowd without shame.

   It seemed that he was overwhelmed by the words of the Fourth Raikage. Kage who was called before could not help but lower his eyebrows in thought.

  Although I deliberately refute it, it is the truth.

  Xiao organization gathered S-level rebels from the four villages of Konoha, Yanyin, Sandyin, and Wuyin, which brought huge troubles to all countries. In comparison, Yunyin's dominant position is well-founded and the most acceptable plan.

  It's just the fourth generation of Raikage's rhetoric, which makes people angry and wants to subconsciously refute his point of view.

   "If there are no opponents, then this matter will be settled like this."

  Fourth Raikage wanted to confirm again, scanning everyone's faces.

   "We, Shayin, are not interested in who the leader of the alliance army belongs to. We just want to get rid of the hidden dangers on the border as soon as possible, and get back the stolen tail. If Yunyin can guarantee this, there is no problem in complying temporarily. But in this way, how should the ghost country deal with it?"

  Luo Sha asked like this, and glanced at Baishi intentionally or unintentionally.

   Tsunade, Ohnoki, and Terumi Mei also looked slightly condensed. Although the previous hostility was indeed before the meeting, and the Five Kages had already colluded with each other, the power of the Oni Kingdom cannot be underestimated.

  The country of ghosts and their own country have completely different ideologies and do not support the traditional aristocratic order. In addition, the Fourth Ninja World War has basically torn skins with other countries. The ninjas in villages like Konoha have a strong hatred for the country of ghosts.

   Therefore, no matter whether the country of ghosts recruits it in or excludes it, the alliance army respected by the traditional five major countries must bear a lot of risks.

   "Chiba Shiraishi."

  Fourth Raikage glanced over.

   "Your Excellency Lei Ying, what advice do you have?"

   Shiraishi asked with a smile.

  Even if the Five Kages united in front of his eyes, it didn't seem to have any effect on him, as if he didn't hear it, he was calmer than he imagined.

   "Some questions, I have to ask clearly before I can consider whether to bring the kingdom of ghosts in."

  The Fourth Raikage looked at Shiraishi like this.

"oh."

   Baishi's smile subsided slightly.

   "About Takigakure's Nanao, whether it is now controlled by your ghost kingdom, please tell the truth."

  The fourth generation of Raikage is skeptical about the rumors in the ninja world. After all, Takigakure Nanao has been missing for nearly 20 years. Even if he wants to find evidence to prove which party Nanao is in, it is impossible to find out.

   Therefore, he didn't intend to investigate the truth and falsehood, but asked Baishi directly, based on whether he judged whether the kingdom of ghosts had the prerequisite to join the alliance.

  Shiraishi touched his chin, and under the gaze of everyone, he nodded calmly and replied: "Nanao is indeed in the hands of our Oni Nation. However, the development of the matter is different from what you imagined, because this tailed beast was not directly snatched from Takigakure, but our Oni Nation intercepted it halfway at the moment Takigakure Nanao was stolen."

   "It's nice to say, after all, we don't know the truth. Moreover, we denied it before, but now we admit it frankly... All the words of the Minister of Military Affairs are untrustworthy."

  Onoki smiled coldly.

   "If you don't believe it, you don't need to listen, Your Excellency Tukage. The priestesses in our ghost country are also very good at holding funerals for people. Would you like to try it yourself?"

   Baishi asked back.

  Onoki's face turned blue and then pale, he snorted, and stopped talking.

   "Tugage, don't interrupt." Fourth Raikage glared at Onogi, and then put his gaze on Shiraishi, "I won't bother to ask how Nanao got into your hands. That is a diplomatic matter that should be considered between you and Takikage. How much do you know about Akatsuki? It takes a lot of time and technology to collect tailed beasts and seal them. Activate a technique called 'Infinite Monthly Reading'."

   "Unlimited monthly reading..."

   Baishi fell into deep thought.

   "What's the matter, boy Shiraishi, do you have something to hide?"

   Tsunade asked.

   "No, that's not the case. It's just that the matter is a bit too bizarre from the beginning. But if you want to know, I can tell you what Xiao Xiao will do after collecting the tailed beast."

  Hearing this, the Five Kages present all quieted down and stopped arguing.

   "This matter started more than a thousand years ago. In the world at that time, although there were no ninjas or chakras, war was still the mainstream. Countries fought against each other for more survival resources, causing endless slaughter. At the same time, a giant tree was born on the ground that reached into the sky, and a fruit was born on the top of the tree. A woman climbed up and ate the fruit."

  Baishi spoke eloquently, causing Wuying and the guards to look slightly astonished.

   This seems to have nothing to do with the current topic, but considering Shiraishi's identity, the other party will not be aimless.

   "Giant tree... fruit... woman... Your Excellency Minister of Military Affairs, what do you want to express?"

   "As I said, there was no such thing as chakra in the world at that time, but since this woman ate the fruit from the tree, the world has gained an energy called 'Chakra'. And that tree is also called the sacred tree."

"What?"

  Everyone was taken aback.

  Chakra, how was it born?

  Shiraishi ignored it, and continued: "This woman's name is Otsutsuki Kaguya, and her origin is unknown. After she took the fruit of the sacred tree, she became the first person in the world to possess chakra, and gained the ultimate power. She quelled the troubled times with her own power, and was honored as the "Goddess of Uzuki" by the world. And she has three eyes, two of which are white eyes, and the third eye between her eyebrows is the eye of reincarnation."

   Rolling eyes? Gouyu reincarnation eye?

What's this?

   "Hey, what white eyes, what Gouyu reincarnation eyes, are you sure it's not you talking nonsense here?"

  Darui behind the Fourth Raikage couldn't help complaining.

  Heaven immediately punched him in the abdomen, glared at him with accusing eyes, and signaled Darui to be quiet.

   "What happened after that?"

   Tsunade's face became serious, because what Shiraishi said was briefly recorded in the ancient documents of the Hyuga clan, and some places coincided.

  She believes that when Baishi tells such a story, he is definitely not playing tricks.

   Moreover, it involves the eyes of reincarnation, and now Akatsuki's leader, Nagato, is a ninja with eyes of reincarnation... No matter how you look at it, there is a very terrifying secret in it.

   "Later, Kaguya gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Otsutsuki Yuromo, and the second son Otsutsuki Yumura. These brothers inherited Kaguya's bloodline and were born with supernatural powers that ordinary people cannot match. After the two brothers became adults, Kaguya, who was supposed to calm down the troubled times, suddenly made a decision, and that was to use a technique called "Infinite Tsukiyomi" to control everyone in the world."

   Naruto behind Tsunade was stunned when he heard this, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, he remembered that Asura had mentioned this name.

   "This is too alarmist. What kind of technique can control the entire world?"

  Onoki frowned, unconvinced by such an unrealistic story.

   "This is true, because Kaguya, who took the fruit of the sacred tree, has completely turned into a monster called 'Ten Tails', which is the strongest chakra aggregate that gathers all the power of the nine-headed and tailed beast. It can activate the 'Infinite Tsukiyomi', and pull everyone in the world into the world of illusion, becoming the puppet of the magician. And these puppets are the current Baijue in the Kingdom of Rain. They are the ancients who were turned into puppets by Kaguya in ancient times."

  Shiraishi's words made everyone's eyes widen.

   Some squirmed their mouths and wanted to ask something, but Shiraishi didn't give them a chance, and continued: "Otsutsuki Kaguya, who played with the world wantonly, ushered in the dissatisfaction of the two heirs. They repelled the mother's behavior of controlling human beings, so they rose up to resist. In the end, the two worked together to seal the mother Kaguya. The two brothers who successfully prevented the mother from doing evil. The source. And the eldest son Otsuki Yuyi, who prayed for the art of peace, established the ninja sect, and slayed demons and demons, is also the Sage of the Six Paths mentioned in the myths we are familiar with now."

  The people present just frowned, pondering and analyzing the information.

   This was the first time they had heard of such a thing, and they were unable to judge whether Baishi's words were true or false.

  "Sage of the Six Paths, in order to prevent the ten tails, that is, the resurrection of the mother Kaguya, the first insurance is not enough to have the younger brother Hamura, and set up a second insurance, which is to split the ten tails, divide the ten tails into one to nine nine-tailed nine-tailed beasts, and scatter them all over the ninja world... And the nine-tailed beasts, I think you are very clear, so I don't need to say more.”

   After Baishi finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his dry throat.

  The rest of the people are still in shock, digesting this surprising information.

   Mifune was the first to react, and finally choked out a sentence: "The story of Your Excellency Shiraishi...is really wonderful."

   Obviously, he doesn't trust such bizarre stories.

   There are many others who have the same idea as Mifune.

  Only Tsunade and Naruto's Konoha ninjas were dignified.

  Although Shiraishi's "story" is indeed a bit of nonsense, but they know some insider information from the Hyuga clan, and some scattered news can also be connected smoothly.

  This 'story' is likely to be something that actually happened.

  In order to confirm this, Tsunade asked: "Boy Shiraishi, it's not that we don't believe what you said, it would be great if you could produce evidence."

   "Evidence?" Shiraishi gave Tsunade a strange look.

"What's wrong?"

   Tsunade froze for a moment, not understanding what Shiraishi's look meant.

   "Leaving aside your Konoha Hyuga Clan, it is very likely that some fragments of words have been left in the family history documents... Even if there is no Hyuga Clan, Tsunade-sensei, who signed a contract with the Shibone Forest, can definitely ask the living slug. Tsunade-sensei, don't you think that the living slug is just a simple healing psychic beast?"

   Tsunade froze.

  “…For us, history may be a story, or a shoddy legend fabricated and adapted by others… But for the 'immortals' who have gone through thousands of years, history is something they have experienced personally. Their existence itself is a history that can speak!”

   "Damn it! Of course I know this kind of thing, don't underestimate me, I just want to test you, whether you are aware of this matter. Although we have parted ways, but you can perceive this, you are worthy of being a student taught by me!"

   Tsunade clasped his hands on his chest, nodded in satisfaction, and was not at all embarrassed when he was exposed, just boasting.

  Everyone knew that Tsunade was trying to resolve his embarrassment, so he didn't point it out.

  But Baishi mentioned the slug fairy in the Wetbone Forest, which is indeed a good entry point, and the news obtained from there is quite convincing.

  As Baishi said, a psychic beast that has lived for thousands of years is itself history. What they are guessing now, maybe the slug fairy is one of the people who experienced it firsthand.

   "So, Otsutsuki Kaguya... the fruit of the sacred tree, the ten tails, and the Sage of the Six Paths and the Eye of Reincarnation are all real? Could it be that Akatsuki's purpose is really..."

  Fourth Kazekage Rasa's complexion became heavy.

  The illusion covering the world, what a terrifying power, it is no longer within the reach of mortals, it is something that only gods can do!

  Goddess Uzuki deserves her name!

   "Besides this, I can't think of any other purpose for Akatsuki to collect tailed beasts. They have the eyes of reincarnation and steal tailed beasts from various countries. They have a hatred for big countries and even the world. They just want to plunge the world into an eternal dream and create their self-righteous 'peace'. Sannin Jiraiya's last words also confirm this point. Isn't it?"

   Baishi asked with a smile.

   "So, you mean..."

   Fourth Raikage narrowed his eyes.

  Shiraishi crossed his hands and rested his chin on it, with a deep smile in his eyes.

   "Our country of ghosts, like other big countries, will firmly follow the path of peaceful development, and form a ninja coalition with other countries to get rid of such scourges as Akatsuki. Because the order of the ninja world cannot be trampled by anyone, true peace should be created by us with a more peaceful spirit. We will never allow mercy to these terrorists who destroy the peace of the ninja world. This is my answer."

   It's just these words, and some of the rhetoric is hard to agree with.

  After all, it is difficult to link the word "peaceful spirit" with the ghost country that is fanning the flames of the ninja world and creating small civil wars.

  As Baishi, who planned all these acts of disrupting order, he opened his mouth for peace and kept his mouth for peace, which added a bit of weirdness.

   Could it be because of his thick skin? Some people can't help but think so.

   "Since this is the case, will the Kingdom of Ghosts compete for the top seat of the Alliance Army next?"

   Ohnoki asked about this.

   "Of course, opportunities will be reserved for those who are prepared. The Kingdom of Ghosts, which has not rebelled and participated in Akatsuki's activities, is naturally eligible to run for the election. And, to put it bluntly, our Kingdom of Ghosts has stronger military strength than Yunyin. With me as the leader of the alliance army, you, as franchisees, must have a strong sense of security."

  Shiraishi smiled feeling good about himself.

   No, there is no sense of security at all! Everyone directly complained and denied it in their hearts, but no one opened their mouths to object.

  The Fourth Raikage snorted, a strong thunder light danced in his pupils, and he released strong hostility towards Shiraishi.

  Shiraishi smiled and looked at the Fourth Raikage, not intimidated by the Fourth Raikage's Chakra, calm and stable.

   Just then, a figure flashed down and appeared in the center of the circular conference table.

   is the dark part of Konoha.

   "Sorry to disturb your meeting at this time, there is an emergency situation now... In the sky, a huge meteorite is falling towards here!"

  Anbe's trembling and panicked voice resounded clearly in the conference room.
