Konoha, Hokage.

"Hokage-sama, this is the alliance agreement submitted by Sunagare."

Yamanaka Haiichi put the agreement in his hand on the desk in front of Hizai, and the agreement noted the cooperation between Konoha and Shagakure, etc., in general, he wanted to unite against the country of ghosts.

At the bottom of the agreement, there is also a handwritten signature of the Wind Shadow, and the format is quite formal.

"Thank you, Haiyi."

Not long after returning from the Daimyo's Mansion, even though Hizashi felt a little tired, he still supported it, and the matter of uniting with Sand Yin is a very important diplomacy for the current Konoha .

The Daimyo of the Land of Wind is connected by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

The contact work of Sha Yin was naturally handed over to Konoha who was also a ninja village.

"How's the Kazekage's mental condition?"

Hinata glanced at the agreement, put it down, and asked about Kazekage's physical condition.

"When I saw it, I seemed to be mentally better. But in addition to that, Kazekage-sama also wrote a letter for me to personally pass it on to Hokage-sama. ”

As he spoke, Hai Yi took out an unopened letter from his bosom and handed it to Hichi.

Hizai took the letter curiously, opened it, read it roughly, and fell into deep thought.

"Hokage-sama, has something happened?"

After seeing that Hizai had read the letter, he immediately fell into deep thought and couldn't help but wonder.

"It's nothing, the Wind Shadow wants to exchange sealing techniques with us Konoha, and he will also provide equivalent secret art materials for us Konoha to study."

Hizai glanced at Hai and said.

"Sealing?"

"Yes."

"I see, it's for Shouhe."

Hai Yi remembered something.

"Shouzuru?"

"Yes, during this trip to Shayin, a Shouhe in Shayin Village had a short violent walk, and some buildings in Shayin Village were damaged by Shouhe. Kazekage wants to negotiate the sealing technique with us Konoha because he wants to strengthen the sealing effect on Shouzuru. ”

Haiyi explained.

"I didn't expect this to happen during the time I went to Shayin?"

Hizai was surprised.

The tailed beast is not a good thing.

If you don't take good precautions, destroying buildings is nothing, and if you cause a lot of casualties, you can make Ninja Village break your bones.

However, compared to the nine-tails of Konoha, the strength of the one-tailed crane is relatively weak, and with the current strength of the Sand Hidden Village, it should not be a cause for concern.

This also means that the Sand Hidden Village lacks sealing technology against tailed beasts.

After all, the amount of chakra of the Tailed Beast is quite large, and if it is a general sealing technique, it is difficult to seal the Tailed Beast.

At present, in the ninja world, the sealing technique that is the most threatening to the tailed beast is the sealing technique passed down from the Uzumaki clan, which can effectively seal the tailed beast, and the strongest tailed beast Nine-Tails is no exception.

"So, what is Hokage-sama going to do, do you want to make this kind of deal with Kazekage?"

Hai Yi asked.

"In my opinion, a part can be given. The Uzumaki Clan's sealing technique is powerful, and if all of them are given to the sand hide, it may form a new threat in the future. ”

Hinata pondered for a moment and said what he thought.

At present, Sand Hide has signed an alliance agreement with Konoha and it is inconvenient for Hinashi to refuse such a private request from the Wind Shadow.

However, Hizap didn't plan to trade the too profound Vortex Clan's sealing technique with the Wind Shadow, and only chose some of it in exchange for the secret art research materials of the Sand Hidden Village.

Originally, the country of Oni and the country of Demons could also do this kind of transaction, and the country of Oni not only had the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, but also the remnants of the Uzumaki clan, and the country of Oni who obtained these remnants must also have a large amount of information and documents of the Uzumaki clan, and advanced sealing techniques are essential.

But with the bad relationship between the country of wind and the country of ghosts now, presumably the wind shadow doesn't have the face to make such a deal with the country of ghosts.

Hai nodded, this is the best.

He did not reject Kazekage's deal, which made his face ugly, but also considered the future to prevent Sha Yin from using the sealing technique obtained from Konoha to target Konoha Village.

Although it is an alliance, it is necessary to take precautions.

After all, the reason for uniting with Shayin at this moment is because they have a common enemy.

"Haiyi, go down, you can rest in the village for a while, you don't need to go out on a mission."

"Yes."

Hai straightened up, turned and left the office.

Shortly after Haiichi left, a dark figure wearing an animal mask suddenly appeared in the office, standing in front of the desk, standing upright.

"Tenzo?"

"It's me, Hokage-sama."

"What about the Kakashi? Didn't he come in person? ”

"Chief Kakashi is teaching Sasuke Uchiha, and the dark department is temporarily managed by our four detachment leaders."

Tenzo replied meticulously.

"Nothing special has happened in the village since I left for a while, right?"

The day slash is meaningful.

Tenzo thought for a moment and replied, "No, the two advisors are working very dutifully, and they have not exceeded their authority. As for the roots, they still have the same as before, they have sealed off the base, and put spells around it, so that even the white eyes of the Hyuga clan cannot see the secrets inside. ”

"It's been kept secret to such an extent, it seems that the root plot is not small."

"Do you want to send someone to test it?"

"No, the village needs to be stable now, and it is not appropriate to conflict with the roots."

As long as the root is not like Orochimaru, who secretly conducts human experiments on people in his own village, Rizap has no choice but to turn a blind eye to these.

Now is not the time to clash with the roots, anyway, Danzo has already gone to the front line, and if he raids the root base at this time, it is likely to cause a fight within Konoha .

Moreover, the roots at this time are no longer the roots of the past.

Compared to before the Third Ninja World War, the power of the root has grown more than once.

According to the investigation of the dark department, the root has absorbed many outstanding talents from the Konoha ninja clan in recent years, and even the Yamanaka clan and the Nara clan, who are friends with the Sarufei clan, have taken the initiative to enter the root and listen to the dispatch of the group.

At any given time, there will always be a militant faction in the village, gathered under the command of Tuan Zang.

With the development of this unfavorable international situation in Konoha, such a trend is becoming more and more obvious.

After the sky was hidden, Ri Chop also had a rare moment to rest, picked up the cigarette stick and took a puff, looking out the window.

"Everything that needs to be done has been done. Next, I can only do my best to resign myself to the fate of God, and I hope that things will not move towards the worst. ”

Saying this, Ri Chop showed a worried look in his eyes, and his heart was not so calm and calm on the surface.

◎

As the sun sets, the orange afterglow shines into the study.

Kazuhime sorts through all kinds of information and intelligence documents sent from the military headquarters of the Oni no Kuni, and is also surprised by the changing international environment.

According to her original intention, as long as she drove out the isolated island merchant alliance settled in the territory of the country of waves, after all, there are too many interests involved behind the merchant alliance, and if you stab too deeply, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

However, what she didn't expect was that her old man united the three great powers of thunder, earth, and water, and directly wiped out the lair of the merchant alliance on the isolated island in one go.

Don't talk about the Fire Nation beforehand, she is not prepared at all.

By the time the reaction came, it was a foregone conclusion.

No matter how dissatisfied with the actions of the country of demons are, the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind must admit this fact.

"Looking for the right time to kill with one blow really seems like the old man's usual style, so he used me as a bait."

Kazuhime shook her head helplessly.

If before the operation, she was puzzled by the standby instructions issued by the headquarters, now it seems that she has clearly become the best person to push to the forefront, to attract the attention of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation.

Because her status is high enough.

It will make people think that she is the highest-ranking military commander of the Oni Country stationed in the country of waves, thus ignoring the danger of the military headquarters of the Oni no Kuni.

Of course, this is also of course, different from military institutions like Ninja Village, the military of the Oni Country has an extremely close connection with various branches, thanks to the maturity of communication technology, basically there will be an intelligence communication with the headquarters in two to three days, even if it is thousands of miles away, Yihime can quickly get first-hand information from the headquarters.

In addition, the military's mode of action is also different from that of Shinobimura, so a sudden attack will indeed make the Daimyo of the Fire Country, who is an enemy, feel overwhelmed.

The military of the Oni Country represents not only the military power of the Oni Country, but also the full support of the government.

and the Daimyo of the Fire Country, who only enjoys political power, and the energy they hold is completely different from the same level.

This is the disadvantage of the one-country-one-village system.

The military and politics are deeply divided, and they are basically separated, and only when they encounter major difficulties do they think of joining forces.

This is a disadvantage in both institutional and communication technology, and Kazuhime is not at all surprised that the Fire Nation is so slow to react.

The times are different, and the technology is also different from the past, if the five great powers deal with the country of ghosts in the traditional way, unless more than the two powers abandon all prejudices and jointly target, it may bring great trouble to the country of ghosts. Otherwise, it will only be broken by the Oni Country.

"The next plan on the side of the country of waves should be considered stable. However, the remnants of the Merchant Alliance still need to find time to clean up. ”

A cold light flashed in Kazuhime's eyes.

A while ago, the dam in Area D of the country of waves was blown up, causing extensive damage to the factory construction base and fields in Area D, and the mastermind behind it was the merchant alliance forces of the isolated island.

Although the Isolated Island Headquarters has been destroyed, not all of the businessmen involved have been apprehended.

Especially on the side of the country of waves, the moment the island was destroyed, this group of merchants directly hid and disappeared from the islands of the country of waves.

The isolated island has been destroyed, and this group of merchants has become homeless, and they must have a strong sense of revenge against countries such as the country of ghosts and the country of thunder.

Because the alliance of the four nations, destroying their alliance and dividing up the huge wealth they have collected for decades, it can be said that there is an undying hatred.

Moreover, the businessmen who were not arrested and brought to justice were wanted by the whole ninja world.

In other words, this group of merchants has become a street rat at the moment, and has become an invisible existence in the ninja world.

Finding the stronghold of this group of fugitive merchants and annihilating them is also the task assigned to her by the headquarters.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the study.

"Miss, Mr. Kaisha is here."

A Oni no Kuni Shinobi walked in, followed by a young man with a cross scar on his chin, about twenty years old.

"Okay, I got it."

Ichihime stared fixedly at the man standing at the door, his eyes curious.

This is the person recommended to her by Cardo, in fact, she should have contacted him earlier.

It's just that I've been busy with too many things lately, and I didn't have time to meet this person recommended by Cardo until today.

The Oni no Shinobu nodded at Kaisha, then quietly exited the study, closing the door gently.

"You're Miss Ichikahime, I've heard Mr. Dazner talk about you. When we first met, I was Kaisha, a fisherman from out of town, and I guess I was half of the country of waves. ”

Kaisha walked to the front of Kazuhime's desk without humility or arrogance, and bowed slightly to Kazuhime.

In the country of waves, Kazuhime's reputation is mixed.

Some people think that she is kind and charitable, and she is the gospel of the low-level migrant workers in the country of waves, because her arrival has indeed brought new changes to the low-level workers in the country of waves, even if the changes are not much, they have also improved their lives a little.

But some people think that she came to the country of waves because she wanted to control the country of waves in order to achieve an unsightly purpose.

"I've heard about you. There was an accident at the dam that day, and you behaved bravely, ordinary people would not dare to jump into such a rapid, even ninjas, their lives would be in danger. ”

Kazuhime's impression of Kaisha is that the other party is an adult man with a sense of responsibility and courage beyond ordinary people.

"Because I often fish, I have better water skills."

Kaisha scratched his head.

"Indeed, you have a strong fishy smell on your body, and you can smell it here."

Kazuhime smiled.

"Uh...... I'm sorry. ”

When Kaisha heard what Kazuhime said, he also reacted, he did have a big fishy smell on his body, and his smile was slightly restrained.

"It doesn't matter, I have always admired people who can have enough food and clothing without praying for the rain and dew from God. It is also what I think is the most important spirit of human beings. It's hard to have someone like you at the bottom with a strong ego personality. ”

Kazuhime did not hesitate to praise herself.

Although she knew that the workers' cooperatives had a good response among the people of the country, there were also people who became lazy because of too much favor, and this kind of thing was very clear to Kazuhime.

These people are accustomed to being submissive, and the so-called thunder, rain and dew are all favors, which are thoughts engraved in their bones.

But Kaisha is different, he is not complacent because of some favors, but uses his ability to help others, and does not expect others to reciprocate, maintaining his original intention.

Such a person, even if he is not a ninja, deserves the respect of Kazuhime.

Rather bend than bend, he is generous, and he is simply a very standard heroic character in a fairy tale.

Although such a hero generally does not end well.

Because it is too easy to provoke the oppression of the powerful, become a victim of rebellion against fate, and pay the price of life for justice.

"Really? It seems that Miss Ichihime investigated me. ”

Kaisha thought about it for a moment and understood something.

"It's not just about you, I've sent people to pay attention to all the members who have joined the workers' cooperatives. It's just that among these people, you are the most prominent. This is Cardo's judgment, and it is he who recommended you to me. ”

Kazuhime told the truth and didn't intend to deceive Kaisha in this regard.

After all, with so many people and so much information, no matter how hard she tries, she can't handle it alone.

Unless you use the shadow clone technique, it is easy to let yourself fall into exhaustion and exhaustion to the point of coma.

If all the affairs are accumulated on one person, even God may be tired to death on the desk, and the efficiency of handling things will become poor.

As long as he is not a traitor, Yiji will only turn a blind eye to some of the side-kicking practices of the people below, and will not ask.

For example, Cardo likes to use his position to secretly fish for oil and water. As long as he doesn't faint in major matters, Yiji will let him be like this.

"Miss Ji came to me......"

Kesha's heart moved.

Sure enough, as he guessed, the workers' and people's cooperative founded by the Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce in the Land of Oni is by no means an organization in the general sense, nor is it a small favor that is given, but has a certain purpose.

Or ...... Kaisha couldn't help but touch the book on his waist.

——"On the Significance of Emancipating the Mind to Promote the Development of Productive Forces in the Individual and Ninja Worlds".

Perhaps propagating the ideas in this book is what the workers' and people's cooperatives really want, and those favors are just a cover for the public.

Why?

The question then crossed Kesha's mind.

Seeing the change in Kaisha's face, Kazuhime was quite surprised, smiled and said: "It seems that you already know something, it's really amazing, it seems that Cardo is not wrong, you are indeed different from the rest of the people who have been favored." They only see the grace on the outside, but they forget the inner core. But it's no wonder that they have a full meal. ”

For those members of the cooperative who ignore the existence of the book, Kazuhime does not condemn it.

It can even be said that it is the pursuit of most people, which is in line with practical significance.

If everyone could think independently like Kaisha and explore the true meaning behind it, then the ninja world would not be so chaotic.

People like Kaisha are in the minority after all.

Lead the majority with the thoughts of the few, and gather the strength of the many.

Whether it is force or ideology, the role of the group cannot be ignored, but the huge role of the individual in this cannot be completely ignored.

Only when an individual leads the collective can the strength of the group be better condensed. Because it is difficult for a group to spontaneously cohesion, it needs someone to lead it in order to cohesively.

That's rule.

"Really?"

Keisha was a little surprised, but there were more things he didn't understand.

"Yes. Also, I'd like to hear what your thoughts are on that book. For example, do you feel any doubts? ”

Kazuhime looked at Kaisha expectantly.

She wasn't going to test Kaisha's interpretive skills, that didn't make any sense.

What she wanted was for Kaisha to find a key problem within.

Based on the answer to this question, Kazuhime will judge how good Kaisha is.

It's not enough to just know.

"Confused? If there is any doubt, there is indeed a point. ”

Kesha thought for a moment and was about to answer.

After all, if he remembers correctly, the author of this book is the father of Kazuhime.

Chiba Shiraishi, the Minister of War of the Oni Country.

In the eyes of the discerning person, there is no point in him concealing it.

If he can get the support of the Oni Country, he can use it to improve this poor country for the better.

Kazuhime sat there silently, not speaking, waiting for Kaisha's answer.

Looking into Kazuhime's eyes, Kaisha paused for a moment and then replied: "That is, in the book, although it explains the so-called emancipation of the mind, the important causal relationship between the productivity and the means of production for individuals and the ninja world, as well as the construction of private schools, and the use of education as one of the important means of emancipating the mind, it does not explain what the important premise of the emancipation of the mind is. ”

In other words, the lack of foundations, what needs to be done, what kind of soil is needed, none of these are mentioned.

This is the question he has been thinking about since he read it many times.

What kind of prerequisites are needed to emancipate the mind, this is where Kaisa is puzzled.

But he believed that Kazuhime must have known.

Even if Kazuhime doesn't know, the person who wrote this book must know what the answer is.

Know what kind of prerequisites are needed to emancipate the mind and what kind of soil is needed for survival.

After listening to this, Kazuhime was more satisfied with Kaisha's answer, and said with a smile: "Although it is not all right, you can see this, which proves that you have read this book many times, otherwise it would be impossible to have such doubts." Let me ask you a little question, what form do you think a human-led world should be? Should we continue to maintain the status quo, or should we create a new landscape? ”

Kaisha choked slightly.

He seemed to have caught something, and he seemed to have caught nothing.

In what form should a human-dominated world exist?

Such a question was too lofty for Kesha to ponder.

"What, are you stumped?"

"Yes, Miss Yiji's question is too jumpy."

Kaisha smiled wryly.

"That's because you haven't seen the world for what it is. When you understand, you'll know what you're going to do. ”

Kazuhime said.

Kaisha frowned and thought about it, unable to understand what Kazuhime meant by saying these words.

In fact, he didn't know what the purpose of Yiji's search was.

However, there should be nothing worth plotting against him.

"I can't answer that question of yours. However, I think this country, will definitely give you the so-called answer. ”

Yiji means something.

"The country ...... You mean the Land of Waves? ”

"That's right. As long as you don't succumb to fate, you'll understand. Moreover, this time will not be too far away from you. People like you will not be able to leave the center of this vortex unless they get away from the country of waves as soon as possible. ”

Kazuhime glanced at Kaisha deeply, as if she was expecting something.

She had already expected that the future of this man named Kaisha would be accompanied by countless bloody storms.
