was called by Shiraishi to break his identity, and he was not embarrassed, but he just smiled and began to change the topic:

"It's really amazing, this technique of mine, not to mention perceptual ninjutsu, even if it's a white eye, it's hard to see through. Shiraishi boy, your perceptual ninjutsu is really not ordinary, can you see through the existence of a more essential soul? ”

It's as if I'm making sure of some kind of information.

Jiraiya is very confident in the hidden secret technique of Myoki Mountain, and he has used this trick to infiltrate many areas that can be called the Jedi of the ninja world, and has collected a lot of important information.

However, it was the first time he had been so directly perceived.

However, Jiraiya was not discouraged, and he had no intention of hiding it forever.

Being able to have such a face-to-face conversation again is also what he wants.

Regarding Jiraiya's temptation, Shiraishi directly chose to ignore it, and just said in a light tone: "If you say hello, you don't need to, just explain your intentions, Lord Jiraiya." I have important things to do next, and for Tsunade-sensei's sake, I'll give you a minute at most. ”

"Anyway, I used to be a companion in the same village, and I only gave a minute to it, isn't it a bit too heartless?"

Jiraiya half-jokingly spoke.

It's just that his joke was exchanged for Shiraishi's cold reaction.

Jiraiya sighed, playing the emotional card is really a useless strategy, although this is expected, Jiraiya still feels lost.

Then, he cleaned up this lost mood, looked at the three of Baishi with serious eyes, and tentatively spoke: "Baishi boy, is there really no way to have peace talks between the country of ghosts and the country of fire?" You know, your actions are likely to cause the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War. ”

This sentence is a serious warning to Shiraishi not to go to the Land of Rain for talks.

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

Shiraishi looked at Jiraiya lightly, and was still unmoved by what Jiraiya said.

"Can't you really think about it? If there is an accident in the meeting, the ninja world will break out into war, and the country of demons will also be involved, so what good will it do you? ”

Jiraiya's face was serious, his fists clenched, and he stared at Shiraishi's expressionless face.

"Now that your identity is no longer a traitor, the country of demons has become a powerful country recognized by the great powers, and your every move will have a huge impact on the ninja world. I hope you can think about things from the perspective of peace in the ninja world, and it's still too late to stop now. ”

Hearing Jiraiya's words, Shiraishi exhaled lightly, and looked directly at Jiraiya and said:

"Whew...... I thought that after what happened last time, you would be a little more mature, but I didn't consider that you still insist on this stubborn idea, which is my biggest mistake. ”

"It has nothing to do with my stubbornness, I just want you to focus on the big picture."

Jiraiya looked at Shiraishi seriously.

"So what's the big picture? Is the big picture of Konoha important? I now represent the interests of the country and the people of the Oni Country, and the position of Konoha and the Fire Country, which is not something I should consider. Conversely, if you were able to convince the Fire Nation Daimyo from the beginning not to get involved in the civil war in the Land of Rain, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Isn't it a little late for you to say this now? ”

Shiraishi asked rhetorically.

Jiraiya smiled bitterly: "I did try to dissuade the daimyo and Sarufei teacher at first, but failed. ”

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

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

Jiraiya nodded with an embarrassed face.

Shiraishi stared at Jiraiya's slightly embarrassed face, which had a lot of wrinkles on it, and sighed and said, "Jiraiya-sama, you're not too young. There are some words that are not suitable for me, a junior, to teach you in reverse. Since the top level of a country decides a policy that is beneficial to the country, then, as a member of the country, it is natural to give full support, instead of dragging the country back and creating opposing remarks. Your actions will not only make my enemies look down on you, but even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire will be dissatisfied with you, and your actions will even make the Daimyo of the Land of Fire question your loyalty to Konoha and the Land of Fire. When the time comes, it will be unpleasing to both ends. ”

Jiraiya's face was slightly stunned, and a moment of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he quickly became firm again.

Naturally, this matter was also considered, but he still couldn't rest assured and implemented the concept that peace between himself and the ninja world is precious.

Because it's his fate!

Seeing Jiraiya's expression, Shiraishi knew that what he said just now was basically equivalent to saying it in vain.

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

He's said everything he can say.

Since he didn't recognize it and didn't want to wake up from his own world, then there was naturally no need for Shiraishi to continue talking to him.

"Wait! I still have nothing to say! ”

Seeing the three of Shiraishi continue to move forward, Jiraiya shouted loudly, trying to make the three of them stop.

"Enough is enough, you can't impress me with these words, and I don't want to listen to your so-called peaceful words. You can think that I am not a pacifist, and I am not in the slightest interested in the will of fire and the fate prophesied by Myoki Mountain. In short, don't come to me to preach your ideas. I don't want to make a fuss this time, so look for your child of prophecy. ”

Unable to say whether it was pity or mockery, Shiraishi disappeared from the spot with an instantaneous technique.

Ruri and Ayane glanced at each other, and also followed in Shiraishi's footsteps, with no desire to stay and talk to Jiraiya.

"Damn! Still failed......"

Zilai was unwilling to look at the direction in which the three of them left, hesitated, and did not step forward to stop him.

Baishi alone is not something he can deal with alone, plus the other two whose strength may still be above Baishi, even if they summon the two immortals of Miaomu Mountain, the battle situation will not change anything.

His intuition told him that if he did it here, he would definitely be killed by the three of Shiraishi!

Therefore, Zilai can only watch the three of them leave unwillingly, powerless to change this fact.

In the snowy wilderness, the three of Shiraishi were already far away from the location where Jiraiya was, and the place where they were was was already very close to the Land of Rain.

"As a sannin, the words I just said are really too unorthodox. Seeing that the ninja I once admired had become such a virtuous person, I didn't know what to say for a while. ”

Ayane said with regret.

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

The three ninjas are not only the disciples of the Konoha Hokage, but also have obtained the inheritance of the three holy places of the ninja world, and in the second ninja war, they shine, and it can be said that it is an important pillar of the foundation stone of Konoha that is not exaggerated.

Orochimaru, who has defected, doesn't need to be evaluated, but the Jiraiya he saw today made Ayane a little disappointed.

Ayane couldn't connect the current Jiraiya with one of the three shinobi in the past.

"Indeed, such a naïve stupid person can be said to be the only one in the ninja world. It's also one of the biggest contributors to Konoha once won the Second Ninja War, but I didn't expect to say such things from the standpoint of a Konoha ninja, it's really naïve enough. ”

Ruri nodded in approval.

Intervened in the battlefield of the Land of Rain, for this reason, the country of ghosts consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and finally led to this meeting, how could it be given up because of a few words from Jiraiya.

Liuli doesn't know what to say about Jiraiya, should I say it's naïve, or should I say it's unplanned? Or both.

However, the matter of Jiraiya has nothing to do with the glass.

She immediately put the matter of Jiraiya behind her, and felt that there was no need to waste her strength on such a person.

As the three of them kept speeding at high speed, the snow scene was quickly replaced by a rain scene, and the three of them had come to the border of the rain country.

Shiraishi turned his head to look at Ayane, who nodded understandingly.

"Separate here, I'll leave it over there."

After saying that, Ayane's figure flashed, broke away from the team, and disappeared from Shiraishi's eyes.

"Is there no problem with her going alone? The opponent is one of the Five Shadows, as well as the escort team and the dark shinobi. Her moves are not very suitable for dealing with many people. ”

Ruri asked, looking at the direction of Ayane's departure, slightly turning her head.

"It doesn't matter, General Tu and the Water Dragon God also went over together, and now all the unexpected factors have been eliminated, and then, we can have a good meeting here. Anyway, let's go and meet up with Thunder Shadow first, they should be in a hurry. ”

"Okay."

Now that Shiraishi has thought about everything, Ruri no longer objects.

◎

The sound of rain continued.

Under the veranda of the roadside hotel, there is a small rest area, which can only accommodate five or six people, which is used to rest for passing travelers.

The fourth generation of Lei Ying held his hands on his chest, sitting on the bench under the verandah, his eyes were closed, his clothes were open on his chest, and his clothes were very cool, but he was not affected by the cold air outside.

To his left, stood a middle-aged man wearing a black blindfold in his left eye.

Wearing the uniform of a ninja in the clouds, he has a calm temperament, standing patiently under the verandah, waiting for something with the four generations of Thunder Shadow.

This middle-aged man's name is Tutai, he was once the courtier of the third generation of Thunder Shadow in Yunyin, and he has a very rare Melting Blood Inheritance Limit, even in today's Yunyin, he is also a first-class ninja in strength.

To the right of the four generations of Thunder Shadow, there are the Shangnin, Xi and Darui of the younger generation of Yunyin.

Unlike Tutai, the minister of the humerus who was Yunyin during the third generation of Thunder Shadow, the two of them were carefully selected by the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow from among the younger generation of the village.

Not only is he loyal to Thunder Shadow, but his strength is second to none among the young people in Yunyin, and he is trusted by the four generations of Thunder Shadow.

Unlike Helio's serious personality, Darui scratched his head and looked boredly at the top of the verandah, staring at the raindrops dripping down the verandah without blinking, maintaining this daze posture.

At this moment, Nozomi's expression moved slightly, as an auxiliary functional ninja in the Thunder Shadow's team with both perception, healing, and illusion abilities, the chakra released obviously sensed something, turned his head and said to the four generations of Thunder Shadow: "Lord Thunder Shadow, they have arrived." ”

The four generations of thunder shadows in the closed eyes opened their eyes suddenly, and they were shining brightly.

"Has it finally arrived? What a hassle to keep us waiting for so long. ”

Darui grumbled.

"It didn't take long, only ten minutes. Alright, Darui, don't look unmotivated, and be careful of embarrassing Lord Thunder Shadow. ”

Nozomi said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I just don't have the energy."

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

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

The four generations of Thunder Shadow stood up from the bench and looked into the distance, and there were two figures shuttling quickly through the rain curtain, and quickly stood in front of their group.

"You're late."

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow snorted softly.

"I'm sorry, but I accidentally ran into Konoha Jiraiya on the road, and I was a little delayed."

Bai Shi did not hide it and explained to Lei Ying and the others.

His words made the four generations of Lei Ying and his party slightly surprised.

"Jiraiya? That Konoha Sannin? Will his presence have an impact on this meeting? ”

The four generations of Thunder Shadow didn't speak, and the Tutai on the side was keenly aware of something, and hurriedly asked.

Shiraishi glanced at the earth platform and said calmly: "Don't worry, the matter has been settled, and one Konoha Sannin will not have any impact on this meeting." ”

Shiraishi's words made Tutai's heart sink.

"I remember that in the last year's War of the Wind Country, that Sannin was a defeated soldier of Your Excellency Shiraishi, and you said that you settled the matter, could it be a ......general?"

Although it was the Ghost Country that prompted the establishment of this meeting, Tutai did not want the Land of Thunder and Yunyin Village to be used as gunmen by the Land of Ghosts.

At this time, it is not a wise move to kill the three shinobi of Konoha at this time.

"I can't bear to think too much on the soil platform, and the solution I said is just to use reason to make Zilai retreat. I, like all of you, would not make a mistake at such a time when the talks could go wrong. ”

Shiraishi's rhetoric made Tutai feel a little at ease.

He was afraid that if Shiraishi made a mistake and accidentally killed the three ninjas, it would inevitably make their next meeting with Konoha completely collapse.

"Since he can't pose a threat to the talks, then don't bother with him, let's start now."

Four generations of Thunder Shadow are the final word.

The rest of the people had no opinion and ran towards the meeting place.

On the way, Tutai was slightly behind the four generations of Lei Ying and the others, and he kept moving forward at the same speed as Shiraishi, and asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency Shiraishi, I have a question I want to ask. ”

Shiraishi twitched his nose slightly.

"You're welcome, bear with me on the platform, there's nothing wrong with it."

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

Tutai seemed to be very concerned about this problem.

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

Shiraishi told the truth about it.

Tutai nodded knowingly.

"In other words, Lord Shiraishi, do you know who the new leader of Yuyin Village is Penn?"

"Could it be that you care about this matter very much?"

Shiraishi didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"Yes, Yuyin, the leader of Payne, has only made one attack in the battle against the Fire Nation, but it has left a mysterious and powerful deep impression. It only took one blow to destroy the huge Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Rain, and I don't think there are many ninjas in the ninja world who can do that. Therefore, I think that this leader of Payne is likely to be another leader of the Rain Country like Sanshoyu Hanzo. Nor can he completely ignore his attitude. ”

Tutai analyzed.

He did not deny himself, and became strongly interested in the identity of Payne, the leader of the rain hidden.

"From such a short period of information, you can analyze the potential power of Yuyin Village, and the intelligence system of your village is really unexpected."

Shiraishi exclaimed.

"Where, compared to the country of ghosts, Yunyin actually has many shortcomings. For example, the powerful bomb paired with the Flying Ninja is really eye-opening...... Can I sell it to us later? Even if it is a little more expensive, our country intends to introduce some. The power of the Fire Nation and Konoha is too strong, and our country needs to introduce such powerful weapons to ensure the territorial security of the country. ”

Totai said with a smile, shifting the topic to the bomb weapons developed by the Oni no Kuni, and proposing to buy them.

Shiraishi turned his head and replied in a small but clear voice: "No problem, open the door to do business, the more customers the better." How about discussing specific matters after the meeting? ”

"Then it's decided, I hope that the relationship between the two of us can always be amicable."

"Well, I can't ask for this kind of thing."

Shiraishi smiled and nodded, and had a very harmonious conversation with Tsuchidai.

As for the sincerity in the words of both sides, that is, the benevolent will see the benevolent and the wise will see the wise.

If a country's military strength is always dependent on other countries, then that country will inevitably be restricted everywhere in the international arena.

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

A country such as the Land of Thunder, which is very keen on military development, will never give up the dominance of the war to the country of ghosts, and rely on imported weapons from the country of ghosts.

Then, there is only one purpose left.

Crack the weapons of the Oni Country, make weapon factories, achieve self-supply, and take the lead of the war firmly in your own hands.

According to the information collected by the Oni no Kuni Yunyou, many countries have recently poured into unidentified ninjas and began to secretly collect intelligence information from technicians from various countries.

However, the Land of Thunder wants to pose a threat to the Land of Ghosts, and it will not be possible to do so for the time being.

In the first battle of the Land of Wind, the country of ghosts hid more unused power than outsiders imagined.

Whether it is the time-space kaleidoscope writing wheel eye with soil, or Lin's perfect human pillar power, it is well hidden in the dark, and there is no choice to use it.

The only place that is too exposed is the power of the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye of the glass.

But it is precisely because of this that many of his abilities have been hidden, and he has already forced the Wind Nation to submit.

After the talks, it was the Akatsuki organization that was more careful than the five major powers, and more precisely, Nagato.

With a single blow, he destroyed the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Rain, without injuring a single person or destroying more land, and affected the streets of the capital of the Land of Rain, just encompassing all the territories of the Daimyo Mansion. Such terrifying destructive power, such amazing chakra control, made Shiraishi vigilant in his heart.

Although many people speculated that it was the result of some kind of powerful forbidden spell that required complex prerequisites to trigger, Shiraishi preferred to believe that it was just the result of Nagato's casual probing.

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

Is it announcing to the restless Fire Country that Yuyin is not without the power to fight, or is it using the Fire Country as a cover, and the real purpose is to demonstrate against the Demon Country...... In Shiraishi's view, both possibilities are present.

At dusk, in fact, if you don't look at the clock, you can't tell whether it's night or dusk.

Shiraishi, Thunder Shadow and the others entered one of the main cities of the Land of Rain.

This is a well-known big city other than the capital of the Land of Rain, and it is also the place where the meeting will be held.

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

The streets are desolate, beggars are everywhere, shops are open in twos and threes, and the shopkeepers are also sitting listlessly in the shops, with the occasional few customers patronizing. It feels no different from the villages and towns in the countryside.

With the outbreak of the civil war in the Land of Rain, most of the people in the country are elderly people and children who can't do it, and many local merchants in the Land of Rain are also far away from their homeland and forced to go to other countries to seek development.

A depressed and gloomy rain country scene.

Seeing such a scene, whether it is Shiraishi or Thunder Shadow, it is as if they are blind.

There may be sympathy in their hearts, and there will be so-called compassion, but until they pity other countries, they have the position of their own country and will not easily show their attitude on their faces.

Passing through the streets of the downtown or the slums, Shiraishi and his party arrived at the lord's mansion.

This lord's mansion, after paying the rent, was temporarily requisitioned by the Oni no Kuni and served as an important meeting place.

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

Originally, Shiraishi also considered starting a meeting in Yuyin Village, but as soon as the idea was born, it was sternly rejected by Nagato.

Therefore, under the premise of the destruction of the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Rain, he had to settle for the next best thing and choose the location of the meeting from another big city.

Coming to the main gate of the castle lord's mansion, Shiraishi and the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow saw that the third generation of Hokage Ape Fei Hizai arrived at the main gate one step ahead of schedule, and followed by the three generations of Hokage Hitoshi.

Konoha's two advisors turned to Koharu and Mito Menyan, as well as the head of the upper ninja squad, Nara Shikaku.

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

It shows that Konoha and the Land of Fire attach great importance to this meeting.

"Long time no see, Hokage, it's been hard work for you to come all the way."

As the saying goes, stretching out your hand and not hitting the smiling person, hearing Shiraishi's concerned greetings, people who don't know still think how close the relationship between the two sides is.

Hizai knew that even if he was resentful in his heart, he still had to smile generously on his face, saying that he didn't care about this long-distance travel, and he must not let outsiders look down on his bearing as a Hokage.

"Two Advisor Elders, this is the first time we have met on such an occasion, it has been hard to come from afar. Shinobu Shikami is too. ”

Shiraishi also expressed his condolences to Koharu, Mito Menyan and Nara Shikaku.

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

"It's okay, no matter what, we're also ninjas, so it's not a problem to get this way."

Representative Koharu responded, communicating with Shiraishi with a flat face, as if he didn't mind the existence of Shiraishi and Ruri, even if the two of them were S-class traitors wanted by Konoha in the past.

"That's fine, all right, please go in and rest, the official meeting will take place after nine o'clock in the evening."

Shiraishi said with a smile.

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

The four generations of Thunder Shadow and Konoha didn't have anything to talk about, so they called the names of the three and stepped into the mansion first.

"Yes, Lord Thunder Shadow. Then, Hokage, Shiraishi, I'll be out of company first. ”

Tutai bowed slightly, and then followed in the footsteps of the four generations of Thunder Shadows, and went to the mansion to rest temporarily, after such a long journey, they also felt a little tired.

After Lei Ying and the others entered the mansion, Bai Shi couldn't help but sniffle again, the cold air outside made him very uncomfortable.

"Why don't you go in and fix it?"

Shiraishi coughed for a while, then asked out loud.

"Ah, we still have some things to do here, Your Excellency Shiraishi seems to have a cold, I think it's better to go in and get warmer quickly. If the illness is severe, it may not be possible for the talks to go smoothly. ”

Lu Jiu was aware of the fact that Shiraishi had a cold, and urged Shiraishi and Ruri to enter the mansion to rest quickly with a suitable reason, so as not to make people suspicious.

"It's okay, I'm a medical ninja, and I'll take care of my condition."

This made everyone present a little speechless.

It is precisely because he is a medical ninja that he catches a cold at such a time that people feel that his words are not convincing in the slightest.

However, since it was Lu Jiu's kindness, Shiraishi was embarrassed to refuse, nodded and said, "The air outside is indeed a little cold, Ruri, let's go in and get warm." It's best not to spend too much time outside, I've had a good dinner prepared for don't forget to enjoy. ”

"Thanks for the reminder, we got it."

Shiraishi nodded slightly, and entered the mansion through the main entrance with the glass.

As soon as he stepped on the threshold, Shiraishi's footsteps suddenly stopped.

His actions attracted the attention of several people in the day.

Before Hizashi could ask, Shiraishi thought for a moment, turned his head and smiled at Hizai, "When I entered the door, I suddenly remembered that there was one thing I forgot to tell Hokage—that is, Kazekage's Excellency will not be here anymore." ”

"What......"

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

Not paying attention to Mito Menyan's stunned expression, Shiraishi continued, "I don't really like uninvited guests, so I've asked His Excellency Kazekage to have tea in advance, so that unrelated people won't disturb the talks. If Hokage's intention is to wait here for Kazekage's arrival, then I don't think it's necessary. What do you think, Hokage? ”

In Shiraishi's opinion, Konoha's approach is completely redundant.

Do you really think that if you call the wind shadow together, you can reduce the pressure at the meeting?

In order to promote the establishment of this meeting, he has already spent so much effort, and even did not hesitate to win over the two daimyo of the Land Country and the Water Country with heavy profits, how could he let the Wind Shadow come over at this time and disrupt the talks?

Although a shadow of wind is not a cause for concern, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the talks, all unexpected factors must be ruled out in advance.

After saying this, Bai Shi didn't reply, and entered the mansion with steady steps.

Looking at Bai Shi's figure of entering the mansion without dragging mud and water, Rizai felt that the calm expression on his face could not be maintained at all.
