The Five Shadows talks have been held for the third day.

At nine o'clock in the morning of the third day, the third session officially began.

After all the participants were seated, Shiraishi took the lead in asking Chiyo, who was sitting in the Sand Hidden seat, "I've been thinking about it for a day, and as for the conditions I proposed yesterday, acting for His Excellency Kazekage, I can now tell me the results of the internal discussions in the Land of Winds." ”

As soon as Shiraishi opened his mouth, he went straight to the point, without any cover-up.

The land in the northwest region of the Land of the Wind Country, eighty miles north of Kazami Castle, and the acquisition of the garrison power of Kazami Castle, are the fruits of the victory that the Oni Country deserves in the War of the Wind Country.

In this area, Shiraishi's attitude has been resolute, and there will be no major concessions.

Chiyo must know this.

Chiyo replied, "I had already communicated with the daimyo remotely yesterday, and although I could only have a short meeting for half an hour due to the communication equipment, the daimyo had already given me a clear result. Before that, I would like to ask again, is the land of the Northwest region eighty miles north of Kazami Castle and the right to garrison Kazami Castle? ”

"That's right. In this regard, the Oni no Kuni will abandon all activities related to the mission entrustment, and there will be no competition and conflict with Sunakurin in the ninja business. ”

The five great ninja villages commissioned the mission, and to a certain extent, it was also a competition for the quality of ninjas.

In peacetime, the more tasks a country receives, the higher the level of comprehensive tasks, the stronger that country is.

From this point of view, at present, it is still Konoha who is temporarily ahead of the rest of the ninja villages.

And the one who has the most hope to surpass Konoha is Yunyin, who is known for his strength and practical actions.

The Oni Country's withdrawal from these competitions is also to win over the rest of the countries, and then force the Wind Country to compromise on the terms of compensation.

And the result is also satisfactory to Shiraishi.

The four generations of Thunder Shadow switched from neutrality to support, and Yakura and Hokage Hitoshi also showed a tendency to move, and it was unlikely that the Land of the Wind would turn a blind eye to this.

Chiyo nodded, and said, "It's really bold for the Oni no Kuni to give up all activities related to the mission. However, you must also understand that asking for the right to garrison troops in important cities of other countries is, strictly speaking, an infringement of a country's sovereignty. ”

"In other words, the Land of the Wind still doesn't plan to agree, and the main thing is to refuse?"

Shiraishi raised an eyebrow.

Chiyo shook his head and replied, "No, we just want to impose some restrictions on the condition of garrison power." ”

Shiraishi thought for a moment, then stared at Chiyo's face for a while, and said, "Let's hear it." ”

"It's impossible to have the country of ghosts garrisoned in Kazami Castle forever. The reason why you put forward such a condition, if I remember correctly, is because Sha Yin's previous rude behavior made you take precautions and feel a crisis of trust. Therefore, we can only open the right to garrison the country of ghosts in Kazami Castle for ten years. In addition, the number of oni no kuni ninjas stationed in Kazami Castle cannot exceed five hundred. ”

For a period of ten years, the number of ninjas stationed in the army cannot exceed five hundred.

Obviously, these two conditions retain a certain early warning capability of the Ghost Country, and they are also within the acceptable range of the Wind Country.

"The scope of the claimed land is another forty miles from my side, that is, the land one hundred and twenty miles north of Kazami Castle belongs to the country of ghosts. But I will increase the length of the garrison by five years, from 10 years to 15 years. ”

After listening to Chiyo's narration, Shiraishi thought for a while and immediately said his thoughts, increasing the number of years of garrison power in Kazami Castle.

"No, two years at most."

Chiyo frowned.

"Four years."

Shiraishi said another number.

Chiyo kept silent.

Shiraishi sighed, looked at Chiyo seriously, and said solemnly: "At least three years, no less." ”

Hearing this, Chiyo was slightly relieved, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, agreeing with Shiraishi's statement. Increase the ten-year garrison period to thirteen years, and the country of wind will cede forty miles of land to the country of ghosts.

For the entire northwest of the Wind Country, forty miles of land can't change anything. But being able to reclaim some more land is also a good thing for the Land of Winds.

Anyway, after that, Chiyo has decided to reserve a Sand Hidden elite force in Kazami Castle to take strict precautions against the country of ghosts, and monitor every move of that garrison force, so that there will be no mistakes like this one.

As for what the pattern will be after thirteen years, Chiyo feels that his body is likely not to survive that time, and he can only believe in the young people of the future of Shayin.

For the country of ghosts, you can't relax for a moment.

After seeing the concessions and compromises of Shiraishi and Chiyo, a greater conflict between the Oni Country and the Wind Country was avoided, and Mifune, as a neutral party, was also secretly relieved.

Overall, it ended relatively peacefully.

After this Five Shadows Talks, the impression of various countries on the country of ghosts must have changed in other ways.

A powerful country will be respected by other countries at all times.

It's just that in this way, the country of ghosts will no longer maintain the status of a neutral country like the country of iron. Nor will the countries allow the Oni Country to remain neutral.

If there is a new ninja war in the future, it will be difficult for the country of Oni, as a military power, not to be drawn into the ninja war.

As for whether it is good or bad, it can only be left to the parties themselves to judge.

For now, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the country of ghosts.

Acquired land, made a name, and although it failed to become a great power, it already had the military strength to compete with the great powers.

Thinking of this, Mifune couldn't help but think of a ninja who he felt very sorry for, Sanshoyu Hanzo.

Strength and fame are both, but the wrong country is born.

But if it weren't for the special environment of the broken mountains and rivers of the Land of Rain and the suffering of the people's livelihood, the ninja of Sanshoyu Hanzo would not have been born at the right time.

negotiated the terms of compensation with Chiyo, and this time the Five Shadows talks basically came to an end.

Although the final compensation conditions are the product of compromise and correction between the two parties, such compensation is still detrimental to the Land of Wind in a real sense.

However, in the country of the wind, which was defeated in the frontal battlefield, it is not qualified to put forward more opinions, and it is not easy to press the conditions to this point.

Otherwise, if you continue to fight on the frontal battlefield, the Wind Nation may lose even more.

After experiencing this, the daimyo and nobles will also increase their investment in the village of Sunagakure, and use their best efforts to develop the military power of the village, which has become the first priority for the development of the country in the future.

Chiyo could have predicted such a situation.

"The next compensation agreement, after it is officially drafted, let's sign it at Kazami Castle. How about the time set for half a month later? ”

The conditions have been negotiated, and Shiraishi doesn't mind giving the Land of the Wind some more time to prepare, so there's no need to rush it.

Moreover, there are some things that need to be dealt with urgently within the Oni Country.

The northwest of the Land of the Wind is just a halfway point in the development of the Land of Ghosts in the future, and it is not the ultimate goal.

The next development strategy of the Oni Country lies not in the big countries, but in the small countries that surround the big countries.

"Yes, I don't have an opinion on my side."

Chiyo rubbed her eyebrows and nodded.

After negotiating the terms of compensation, the content of the next talks will not seem depressing and dignified, but light and relaxed.

Half a month after the promise of the meeting, an armistice and compensation agreement was signed in Kazami Castle, and Chiyo then asked: "By the way, there is one more thing, I want to ask, do you have the will to sell military weapons such as flying ninja equipment?" We, the Wind Nation, pay for it. ”

In the War of the Land of Wind, the Land of Oni used a variety of military weapons.

The destructive power is amazing, the artillery with an extremely long range, the flying ninja that can run rampant in the sky, and the kunai gun that is attached to the wind attribute chakra have all changed the original battle mode of ninjas to a certain extent.

Although it has not yet opened up a new pattern, it has become a place that cannot be ignored by all countries.

"Oh? Is the country of the wind willing to buy? Shiraishi smiled.

"Of course."

"There's no problem with this, those weapons were developed and would have been sold as a special commodity."

Shiraishi nodded.

He didn't plan to hide his secrets, he also wanted to see what kind of new changes those weapons would bring about when they flowed into the five major countries.

Of course, the most likely thing is that nothing has changed.

Not only Chiyo, but also the rest of the shadows' faces also showed a look of interest, and Shiraishi smiled: "I understand everyone's thoughts, it's okay to say that artillery and kunai guns are good, and even the Oni no Kuni Military Research Institute doesn't produce much. Therefore, in the beginning, I could only sell 100 flying machines. As for the price, I'm not a businessman, and I'm not easy to judge, so I'll let the Aster Flower Chamber take care of this matter and give you a suitable price. ”

Chiyo and the rest of the shadows didn't say anything about this, just nodded.

But they must have made up their minds in their hearts to use the daimyo to buy new weapons developed by the Oni no Kuni.

This was a great opportunity to strengthen the military power of the ninja village, and they didn't want to miss it.

And now that the country of ghosts has occupied a place in the world, it is also a danger signal for the daimyo of a big country, and it is very likely that he will not oppose it.

The happy picture made Mifune very emotional, he didn't know when such a stable relationship between countries would end.

But all in all, it's a big step forward.

The future can only be left to the future to guide.

……

After having lunch in the castle at noon, Gokage left one after another with the guards and the shadows, and Shiraishi also said goodbye to Mifune, the general of the Iron Country, and returned to the Oni Country with Ayane and Akako.

The results of the negotiations have come out, and the next business cooperation and other matters can only be handed over to professionals after returning to the village, and there is no need for Wuying to stay in the Iron Country.

The second Five Shadows Conference was successfully concluded.

But it will also usher in a new pattern in the ninja world, especially in the western part of the continent, which will show a three-way situation, no longer the wind and the soil are dominant.

The country of demons, who defeated the country of wind head-on, has the confidence to participate in the general trend of the ninja world.

"Not long ago, there was a message from the headquarters that the reason why Tsuchikage left the scene of the Five Shadows Conference in a hurry may be related to Xiao's activities."

Ayane said at this time.

"Xiao?"

Shiraishi was slightly surprised.

"Well, if it has something to do with Xiao, it can also make Tsuchikage leave in a hurry from the scene of the Five Shadows Conference, which can only be related to the tailed beast."

Ayane made her own judgment.

"In other words, has Akatsuki's action officially begun? It's a little faster than you think. ”

Shiraishi frowned.

It was only a matter of time before Xiao made a move against the tailed beasts of various countries.

It's just that he didn't expect it to start so soon.

Sealing Tailed Beasts requires skill and time, as well as ample preparation.

Moreover, it is also the capture of tailed beasts in various countries, the preparation time, and the technical power to suppress the plurality of tailed beasts, even if it is a big country ninja village, it is impossible to take it out.

First of all, containers are the problem.

Not all ninjas can be used as containers for tailed beasts.

Adaptability is required.

For example, the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan are suitable carriers for sealing tailed beasts.

If the carrier is not compatible with the Tailed Beast, then even with excellent sealing as support, it may cause the Tailed Beast Chakra to leak, and there will be an extreme situation where the Tailed Beast can control the human pillar force.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the history of the Tailed Beast Ninja Village.

Especially in the early days, countries did not have a clear concept of the seal of the tailed beast, which caused a large number of casualties.

Tailed beast-related technology,It was during the First Ninja World War,It was slowly studied by various countries,During the Second Ninja World War,The sealing technology of various countries has been improved again,As long as it does not overstimulate the psychology of human pillar force,There are few cases of human pillar force going berserk。

Being able to covet the plurality of tailed beasts, and still have to control them, Shiraishi can only be attributed to the particularity of the reincarnation eye.

That kind of eye, what kind of special ability it has, Shiraishi is not surprised.

It is also said to have a powerful ability to resurrect the dead.

It's beyond the conventional scope of ninjutsu.

Due to the lack of actual research data, Shiraishi was unable to determine how strong Nagato, who had the eye of reincarnation, would be.

But undoubtedly very tricky.

"If it was really Akatsuki who captured Iwakure's tailed beast, then they picked a good time to do it. Now that the Tsuchikage has returned to Iwakure, there is no trace of the Tailed Beast's disappearance. ”

Ayane sighed.

"As long as Rin is protected and she doesn't have an accident, there is no way for the Ten Tails to recover...... And the tailed beasts alone can't be combined into one, although it's tricky, but it's not impossible to target. And as Akatsuki's actions become more and more frequent, the ninja villages of Konoha will not be indifferent, so let them contain Akatsuki. ”

"Don't we have to do it?"

"No, the next step is to complete the layout at the level of a small country as soon as possible, so that Xiaolai can attract attention. In any case, the ninja villages of various countries will not easily put the tail out. At that time, he will join forces with Yakura and lead the Fourth Ninja World War jointly launched by the Oni Country and the Fog Hide. ”

The garrison period of Kazami Castle in the Land of Wind is thirteen years, which is enough time, and there is even a surplus.

The nails in the Land of Wind have been buried, and then the Land of Earth, the Land of Thunder, and the Land of Fire must be pressed down one by one.

◎

Two days later, Hizaki returned to Konoha safely and made his way to the Hokage Building without stopping.

As the Hokage guards of the Five Shadows Conference, the three of Lu Jiu also followed closely and accepted the new arrangement.

The turmoil between the Oni Country and the Wind Country has subsided temporarily, but no matter how you look at it, the Wind Country will not rest in the future, and maybe in the near future, there will still be a firefight between the Oni Country and the Wind Country.

But these are not for Konoha to consider for the time being, and after welcoming back Jiraiya, Konoha can dissolve the temporary alliance with the country of ghosts.

At that time, it will not be too late to unite with Shayin.

After all, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Sand Yin is also in dire need of a stable and reliable ally now.

In the same way, Iwakuin is also an object that can be wooed.

The appearance of the country of ghosts broke the stable situation in the western part of the continent, which gave Konoha the opportunity to win over Iwakuin.

If the three kingdoms of fire, wind, and earth can form an alliance, the advantage of the country of ghosts will be lost, and it will be greatly limited.

The specific course of action should also be discussed in the Shangnin meeting and brainstorming.

Coming to the office where they were, Hizai and Shikaku saw an unexpected person, which made several of them appear a little surprised on their faces.

"Tsunade?"

"Tsunade-sama?"

The inconsistent surprises came from the mouths of the three of Hizai and Lu Jiu.

In the midst of the surprise, there is also a joy.

In any case, with Konoha facing such a predicament, it is also a good start for Tsunade to be able to return.

However, before he could ask for warmth, Tsunade walked over with an unhappy face and questioned Hizaku, "Why did you revoke those wanted warrants for rebellion?" For such a big thing, why didn't you notify me in advance? Or do you think it's a small thing? Do you know what kind of misunderstanding others will have about Konoha by doing this? ”

If it's a general rebellion, of course Tsunade won't pay attention to it.

But the three of Shiraishi are different, those Uchiha who have occupied the country of demons are different from the ninjas of the Hyuga clan, and they will cause huge hidden dangers to the village left by her grandfather, the original Hokage.

Tsunade's questioning made Hizaku and Shikaku stunned, and they looked at Tsunade blankly, not knowing how to speak.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with my words? ”

Tsunade asked, frowning.

"That, Tsunade-sama, I remember that in the country of ghosts, I already informed you in advance, and you ...... at the time."

Lu Jiu whispered.

"Got it? When? ”

There was a hint of confusion in Tsunade's eyes, could it be that he was not sober because he had been winning money lately and was overjoyed?

My memory is not so bad.

This time it was Lu Jiu's turn to be silent, and he also understood.

After the War in the Land of Wind, the Tsunade he saw in the Land of Oni had a problem!

Or rather, it wasn't Tsunade himself at all, but someone else impersonated.

also concealed Haiyi's perceptual ninjutsu.

"Lujiu, you mean ......"

Tsunade was not stupid, and immediately understood something, and his face became extremely ugly.

That stinky little ghost actually found someone to pretend to be her to interfere with the judgment of Konoha higher-ups!?

"Looks like we've all been tricked, Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama......"

Lu Jiu smiled bitterly, and then he reacted.

Hizashi opened his mouth as well, he didn't expect that his guess about Tsunade was all a misinterpretation.

Jiraiya is very important to Tsunade, but the existence of Konoha and the face of Konoha are equally important to Tsunade.

No matter how frustrated Tsunade is, she is a ninja of Konoha in terms of bloodline and inheritance, and she is unchangeable, and she will not be shaken by anyone's will, loyal to Konoha!

"Before we came back, Shizun and I stayed in the prison in Ononi Country all the time to keep Jiraiya safe and treat his injuries. I didn't expect that this would give that stinky little ghost a chance to take advantage of...... I'm sorry, Mr. Ape Fei, but I was a little inconsiderate. ”

Tsunade sighed, she didn't expect Shiraishi to take advantage of this time difference and find someone to play him and mislead the judgment of Konoha higher-ups.

But if you really learned about it, what would you do?

Tsunade didn't want to think about it anymore.

Either way, it might make her lose something.

Rope tree, broken, orochimaru, self-...... These familiar people seemed to have left her.

That kind of devastation and despair is also unprecedented.

Therefore, Tsunade doesn't know if Shiraishi is fulfilling her or simply taking revenge on Konoha.

"It's okay, it's good to be back, it's good to be back......"

Hizashi patted Tsunade's shoulder, the corners of his eyes moistened a little, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

The deal with the country of demons has come to this point, and it is impossible to change it anymore.

"Hmm."

Nodding, Tsunade didn't speak.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and quietly exited the room, leaving it to Hizashi and Tsunade.

◎

Life in prison is not as cruel as I imagined.

There may be a reason for this, so the prison administrators take good care of him, whether it is in daily life, diet, or even entertainment, they will try to satisfy him.

This is undoubtedly very satisfying for Jiraiya.

In addition to the fact that the activity space is a little small, the cold atmosphere in the prison made him not very accustomed to it at first.

After getting used to it, I felt that it was much more intimate.

Opposite is the cell of Shinobi Maki on the sand.

"Hey, Kima kid from Shayin Village, do you want to enjoy the latest masterpiece of this immortal?"

Jiraiya shouted at the sand shinobi in the opposite cell.

"Jiraiya-sama, my name is Markey."

Markey looked at Jiraiya slightly speechlessly.

How to say, before he met him, Markey still had a lot of respect for the legendary three ninjas, and thought that they were very great ninjas.

However, the reality is ...... The other party is a yellow writer, and he is famous.

At that moment, the illusion of the three ninjas was completely shattered.

No matter what outsiders say about greatness, they can't hide the fact that the other party is an old pervert.

These days, I've told him a lot of colorful jokes, which is really enough, Sannin.

Illusions are shattered.

"It's the same name. Want to take a look? This is a precious first draft that has not yet been released. ”

Jiraiya picked up a thick stack of manuscript paper and smug.

"Well, it's okay to take a look, it's boring anyway."

Markey coughed and nodded imperceptibly.

Yes, he didn't want to see that color, but because it was so boring.

Chakra is blocked, and he can't even practice ninjutsu.

Every day, in addition to eating and sleeping, he is kept in captivity like a pig.

The only impression is that the food is delicious.

At this moment, a voice came coldly:

"Jiraiya-sama is really leisurely, it seems that life here is good. In this way, I was relieved, and I didn't miss my promise to Tsunade-sensei. ”

Wearing a white coat outside, with the characteristic smell of medicine remaining on his clothes, and his hands in the pockets of his white coat, Shiraishi walked over with a smile on his face.

Two hours ago, he had returned to Ziyuan City, and after a brief meeting, he came to the prison to visit Jiraiya.

"Thanks to you, it's been a pretty good time here. Well, you can't wait to see my new draft? ”

Jiraiya raised the stack of manuscript paper in his hand.

“……”

is worthy of three forbearances, and in prison, he can still write yellow with a big heart, and he can easily do things that ordinary people can't do.

Shiraishi thinks that if Jiraiya were a writer, he might become an even more amazing character than a ninja.

"I don't accept such a bribe."

"This is not a bribe, read it properly, it can increase the interest between husband and wife, and the content is quite vigorous, swear in the name of Sannin."

"Do you have a wife?"

Jiraiya's smile stiffened on his face, and he looked depressed.

“…… After dinner, someone will let you out. I made a deal with your teacher, the third generation Hokage, and I can let you go back to Konoha next. ”

Baishi turned his head and left, didn't take a few steps, paused in place, and left another sentence:

"By the way, you can't take that stack of manuscript paper away from you. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to see it, I'm worried that you've left some secret code on it that endangers the land of ghosts. ”

Does it increase the interest between couples?

When you think about it, it's quite exciting.

After thinking about it, Shiraishi quickened his pace and left here.
