Late, nine o'clock.

The heated room is a conference room for meetings.

Because all parties participating in the talks have a very clear purpose, many lengthy and cumbersome etiquette is also to be saved as much as possible.

The delegates who participated in the meeting sat down around the huge round table in the center of the room, and the guards and attendants all stood diagonally behind them, and the only people who could sit down were Shiraishi, Hokage, and Thunderkage.

As soon as he sat down, Shiraishi asked, "Before the talks officially begin, I would like to ask you, Your Excellency Hokage and Your Excellency Thunder Shadow, before coming to the Land of Rain, should have received the privilege of representing this meeting from the daimyo of their own country, right?" ”

Unlike the government of the Oni Country, the government of the Fire Country and the Land of Thunder are separated, and Konoha and Cloud Hidden can only represent the interests of the Shinobi Village at best, and cannot represent the entire country with full powers.

Without the authorization of the Daimyo, then, whether it is the Hokage or the Thunder Shadow, the promises made at the talks will become meaningless.

After Shiraishi asked this question, Shikaku, who was standing behind Hinata Slash, pulled out a document and unfolded the first page, which had the official red seal conferred by the Daimyo Mansion of the Fire Country.

"This time, Hokage-sama is the plenipotentiary agent of the Fire Nation for talks, so please don't worry about this issue."

In fact, the situation that can be taken into account has been fully considered at the Konoha high-level meeting.

The only mistake was that they secretly invited the wind shadow to come to help, which was seen through in advance by the ghost country, and the wind shadow and the others who are coming now are probably intercepted by the ninjas of the ghost country, and they can't get here in time.

Over there, the upper ninja soil platform behind the four generations of Thunder Shadow also took out a document that was not much in the standard, and it had the official seal of the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Thunder on it, which means that the four generations of Thunder Shadow, like the Hokage, were the plenipotentiary agents of their country at this meeting.

Seeing the official documents of their own countries displayed by both sides, Shiraishi nodded with satisfaction, crossed his hands on the table, coughed lightly, and then said: "Since both of you can represent your country with full powers in this meeting, then I won't say more nonsense." Now let's get to the main topic of the talks, according to the materials provided by the leader of Payne in Rain Village, is it true that the above mentioned that the Fire Country has held the Daimyo of the Rain Country and some of the nobles in power hostage in an improper form, thereby interfering in the internal affairs of the Rain Country, and prompting the outbreak of the Rain Civil War? ”

“…… Yes, this matter was caused by the Fire Nation and Konoha single-handedly. ”

This is undeniable.

The world is not black and white.

No matter how much you veto, you can't avoid that Konoha and the Daimyo Mansion of the Fire Country once interfered in the internal affairs of the Rain Domain.

"However, that is a right of surveillance that must be exercised by the subject state. During the Third Shinobi War, the Daimyo of the Land of Rain signed an official document to surrender to the Land of Fire, and the new leader of the Rain Hidden Treasure also surrendered to Konoha on behalf of the Rain Hidden Domain. Later, the leader of the Kanzang unfortunately disappeared, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and it is unknown whether he is dead or alive, and some people report that Yuyin is plotting to subvert the regime of the rain country. ”

Hizai said unhurriedly.

He said that he didn't want to lose the account that belonged to Konoha and the Fire Country, but just wanted to minimize the losses of Konoha and the Fire Country.

"The leader of the Kanzo is dead. Later, when the leader of Payne searched for the relics in the search, he found a lot of letters that connected with Konoha. According to the contents of one of the letters, the date can be determined to be the period of the reign of Sanshoyu Hanzo. When the Third Shinobi War began with the war between Konoha and Sunagakure, he betrayed his alliance with Yugakure, causing Sanshoyu Hanzo to die in Sunagakure's trap. How to deal with this problem? ”

Shiraishi stared at Hisashi's face.

Hinata smoked his cigarette stick and sighed softly, "That's the result of Orochimaru's obstinate behavior." Now that Orochimaru is already Konoha's traitor, even if he wants to be held responsible, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it for the time being. ”

The various issues involving the Land of Rain are inevitably linked to the various disputes related to the Third Ninja World War.

"According to the content of the correspondence between Kanzo and Konoha, it is not only Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, that is involved, but also the name of the elder of the ninja dark Shimura Danzo."

"Hmm...... In times of war, the root has the power to cut first and then play on the battlefield, and in fact, I, as the Hokage, also learned later. What's more, Tuan Zang has already seriously reflected on it later. ”

Hizaki explained stiffly.

Anyway, Orochimaru is a traitor who betrayed Konoha at this time, as long as he shirks most of the blame for betraying Yuyin, he can shirk Orochimaru.

"Really? I have here a copy of the information that Rain Hidden has secretly provided, and I would like Hokage-sama to take a look at it. ”

Shiraishi took out a document and asked the Oni no Kuni ninja on the side to take it and hand it to Hizai.

Hizai was slightly puzzled, but still opened this document, which recorded a large number of personal photos, with names and brief biographical information next to it, and the nationality was unified as the country of rain.

These people have professions ranging from ninjas to civilians.

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

"It's ......"

"I have to ask your Shimura Danzo Elder here. During the Rain Hidden Period, many Rain Hidden Ninjas were captured in the Rain Hidden and sent to the experimental base at the Konoha Root, and since then, these Rain Hidden Ninjas have disappeared and never appeared again. Not only that, but Kanzang also secretly sent his subordinates to hunt down civilians in the Land of Rain. These arrested people, according to the post-mortem investigation of the leader of Payne, were also used as material for human experiments by the roots of Konoha. ”

Looking at the names of the people recorded on the document, the day slash was also slightly discolored.

I had the heart to refute, but I opened my mouth and didn't say anything.

He is also one of the people in the know.

"Playing with the lives of the people of the subject countries, and manipulating the daimyo's mansion behind the scenes, interfering in the internal affairs of the subjects by force. It is precisely because of the sinister intentions of the Fire Nation and Konoha that the aspirants of the Rain Hidden Village want the country's independence, which leads to the Rain Civil War. Hokage, is there anything else you'd like to say? ”

Shiraishi asked in a flat tone.

Hizai was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "On behalf of the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire, I hereby officially dissolve the subordination between the two countries, and from now on, the Land of Rain will gain independent political, military, and economic power. In addition, the Fire Nation compensates the Rain Country with money to help the Rain Country resume production. After this incident, the Fire Council sent people to Yuyin to negotiate with the leader of Payne. ”

Shiraishi looked at the sun, nodded after a long time, and said, "Yes." After that, the Fire Nation can send officials to Yuyin Village to negotiate compensation. ”

Hearing Shiraishi's reply, Hizai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Shiraishi said this, Hizai was sure that the country of ghosts would no longer intervene in the dispute between the country of rain and the country of fire.

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

As for whether the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire will compensate the Land of Rain afterwards to fund the resumption of production in the Land of Rain, it is not something that Hinashi should consider, that is what the Daimyo should think about.

The problem of the Land of Rain is a short and successful end.

Although it is reasonable to continue to fight, it is true that more benefits can be won for the Land of Rain.

But this is the Rain Country's own problem after all, and in the cooperation with Nagato, Shiraishi only agreed to obtain independence for the Rain Country in the talks. Nagato's payment to the Oni no Kuni is only worth this price at most.

Therefore, after Konoha and the Fire Country backed down and recognized the independent status of the Rain Country in the world, Shiraishi immediately stopped pressing the Sun on the issue of the Land of Rain, and did not intend to do anything superfluous.

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

Next, you only need to complete the transaction with the Thunder Country and raise the Ghost Country's status in the world, and the merit will be considered complete.

In this way, there are still many places to use in Konoha and the Land of Fire.

Shiraishi doesn't intend to waste time either, going straight to the second topic.

"In view of the events in the Land of Rain, what does Lord Thunder Shadow think?"

Shiraishi led the conversation to the four generations of Thunder Shadow, who had been silent.

Here it comes! The hearts of the people of Konoha were awe-inspiring, knowing that the really important part of the talks was coming.

The Land of Rain was nothing more than an appetizer for everyone present.

The real entrée is only now on the scene.

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow snorted lightly and spoke in a mocking tone: "Wantonly interfering in the political and military power of their own vassal countries, and shifting the responsibility for betraying allies to the traitorous Orochimaru who has already betrayed the village, and finally shamelessly shielding his own people, the Fire Country and Konoha are really getting more and more degenerate." ”

The ridicule of the four generations of Thunder Shadow made Hizai feel a hot face.

This is indeed a problem for Konoha and the Fire Country, but his face is still silently subjected to the attack of the four generations of Thunder Shadow's words, but the fist placed under the table is quietly clenched.

The two advisors of Konoha on the side, Nara Shikaku, the leader of the upper ninja squad, were also secretly annoyed by the four generations of Thunder Shadow's words.

Konoha and the Land of Fire do have such problems, but as the Land of Thunder, where can Yunyin Village be clean?

In order to expand its military power, Yunyin Village collected secret techniques in various parts of the ninja world, and eliminated countless small country ninja villages, causing more bloody cases than the roots of Konoha .

But in this meeting, even if he wanted to trace Yun Yin's responsibility, Lei Ying would use an excuse to prevaricate the past.

The time for them to think about it was too short, and secretly inviting the Wind Shadow to come to help was also a hasty decision, and they didn't have time to collect evidence of Yun Yin's crimes, so that Yun Yin was passive in the talks.

And the country of ghosts...... It's that you can't find a place to attack at all.

Even the civil strife in the country of waves, the country of ghosts is perfectly hidden in the rear, after all, it is the workers and peasants of the country of waves that cause the internal strife in the country, and the country of ghosts only supplies weapons and plays the role of weapons merchants. Even if the Fire Country wants to talk about the Wave Country, the Oni Country has the ability to get out.

What's more, at this time, it was originally a situation where the country of ghosts and the country of thunder jointly dealt with the country of fire, and even if it was fought on the basis of reason, the country of fire had a very small chance of winning.

"So, what does Lord Thunder Shadow mean?"

Bai Shi followed the words of the four generations of Thunder Shadow and asked questions, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was just a play directed and acted by Bai Shi and the four generations of Thunder Shadow.

But the Konoha side can't lose his temper here.

"In addition to the above questions, rumors about the decline of the Fire Nation have been intensifying in the ninja world recently. In the past, the Land of Fire has always occupied the title of the strongest power in the ninja world during the reign of the first Hokage of Konoha in the past, and Konoha is also recognized as the strongest ninja village in the ninja world. But now the Fire Country and Konoha not only have to face the condemnation of their behavior, but in terms of strength, they are not at the same level at all compared to the time when the first Hokage ruled Konoha in the past. ”

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow put forward such a point of view.

The meaning of the poor dagger is very clear.

"We in the Oni Country also have a say in this matter. When the Oni Country and the Wind Country fought the previous year, the Konoha Ninja joined them and was defeated along with the Wind Shadow of the Sand Hide. We are also worried about the quality of Konoha ninjas. ”

In fact, in the War of the Land of Wind, the performance of the Konoha ninja was even more eye-catching than that of the Sand Hidden Ninja.

A Konoha ninja named Maite Dai almost once cornered Ruri.

But since he wants to raise the value of himself and the country of thunder here, then, Shiraishi naturally will not recognize the strength of the Konoha ninja at this time.

"The strength of the ninja represents the strength of a country's most important military power, and it belongs to the country of fire, and belongs to the glorious era of Konoha that no longer exists. Then, for the current pattern of the ninja world, certain adjustments should also be made. For example, the Fire Nation needs to give up the honorary title of the strongest country, and the title of the strongest ninja village in Konoha should also abdicate and give way to Xian. Now the ninja world urgently needs a stronger country and ninja village to redefine the new order of the ninja world. I think it has to be the Land of Thunder and the Cloud Hidden Village. ”

Shiraishi didn't wait for the sun to open his mouth and continued.

"It's true that the Fire Country and Konoha are not as good as before, but I think it's better to take a long-term view of this matter. What's more, this also needs to be decided by the other big names and several other five shadows. ”

After Ri Slash finished saying this, Bai Shi took out two documents again and said to Sun Slash:

"This is a letter of consent signed by the Daimyo of the Land Country and the Tsuchikage, as well as the Daimyo of the Land Country and the Mizukage. Although none of them came in person, the decision proposed by our Oni Country has been approved by them, and they recognize that the Land of Thunder and Cloud Hidden can replace the status of the Land of Fire and Konoha. In addition, they also agreed with the proposal of the Oni Country to become the sixth power. ”

Konoha's Hinata and his party fell into deep thought, their expressions solemn.

I thought that I could make things difficult for the country of ghosts and the country of thunder, and try to save face for the country of fire and Konoha, but I didn't expect the country of ghosts to be so thoughtful.

Even if the Fire Nation vetoes it, three of the traditional five powers, including the Thunder Nation itself, have already approved such a proposal. Even if you win over the country of wind, which has been excluded from the country of ghosts, it will be a disadvantage in terms of votes.

Unable to return to the sky.

"This proposal is very good, and I, as Thunder Shadow, agree to such a proposal on behalf of the Land of Thunder. In addition, the country of demons, which defeated the country of wind on the frontal battlefield the previous year, has already proven that its military power can be compared to that of a great power. Therefore, the country of ghosts became the sixth largest country, and I think it is feasible to officially adopt it. ”

The four generations of Thunder Shadow said one by one, looking directly at the sun.

Locked by Shiraishi and the four generations of Thunder Shadow, the single Rizap felt a lot of pressure.

Just like Lu Jiu thought, the ambition of the Land of Thunder was obvious.

But the purpose of the Oni Country is likely not to stop at the sixth power, but to cover up the deeper conspiracy by elevating itself to become the sixth power.

In this matter, the rest of the countries may be blinded by the country of ghosts.

As a result of these talks, the 'small country' called the Land of Oni officially stepped onto the stage of a great power.

And between the traditional five powers, the rift between each other is even deeper.

Hinata looked up at Shiraishi's young and energetic face, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

The other party is too young.

According to this situation, the other party can rule for at least twenty years in the country of ghosts.

Twenty years...... A little creepy for a short period of time.

"I represent the Land of Fire...... Agree. ”

In the conference room, Hizai seemed to drain all the strength in his body and said this.

◎

The talks went much smoother than expected.

The interest of Konoha and the Land of Fire surprised Shiraishi.

However, even if the Japanese slash side is well hidden, but the combat strategy of retreating and forbearance development, Shiraishi can probably still guess it.

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

But I'm not going to give you that kind of stable development. Shiraishi sneered in his heart.

Because of the decentralization of power at the top of Konoha, the political struggle within Konoha is full of ridiculous meanings even from the perspective of an outsider.

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

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

In order to maximize the intelligence advantage in hand, the best strategy should be to leave room for Konoha to exert its residual heat, wait until Konoha has a certain improvement in development, and then use the intelligence advantage in hand to let all the other party's efforts go to waste, and once return to the pre-liberation period.

From a personal point of view, Shiraishi thinks that he has been cautious and careful enough to treat Konoha.

After the talks, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The Land of Thunder and Yun Yin, without spending any effort, returned with a full load, and naturally they were the victorious side.

The country of ghosts has improved its international status and officially become one of the great powers, which has also deepened the gap between the traditional five powers and achieved its political goal of participating in the talks.

The Land of Fire and Konoha began to show weakness to others, weakening a certain amount of international influence, and exchanging precious time from the Land of Demons and the Land of Thunder to develop themselves with peace of mind, to a certain extent, it is also the result of seeking benevolence.

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

As the nominally victorious side, in addition to the restoration of the country's right to independence, the domestic environment has been further severely damaged.

Political and military shortages aside, maintaining political and military economic power can be said to be a major headache for the country of rain.

Although Hokage Hitoshi, on behalf of the Fire Country, made a promise to compensate the Land of Rain at the meeting, neither the Land of Demons nor the Country of Thunder intended to be involved.

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

Proposed by Nara Shikahisa, the leader of the Konoha Shinobi Squad, their Konoha side hopes to buy projectile bombs from the Oni Country that can be used with flying ninja equipment, and how much can the Oni Country sell, Konoha expressed his willingness to eat them all.

"Regarding this matter, Yun Yin has already taken the lead in reaching an arms sales agreement with the Ghost Country, even if Konoha has this will, it should be ranked after us Yun Yin."

Yunyin's Melting Ninja Tsuchidai stood up, not to be outdone, and looked at Lu Jiu with a tough attitude.

Lu Jiu just smiled slightly and said: "With such a huge trading volume, if Yun Yin's side eats it all, it will be too ugly." As far as I know, Iwakuin, Wuyin, and even Shayin all have a strong willingness to buy. Although we, Konoha, have given up the honor of being the strongest ninja village, when it comes to national security, we may not be able to fully follow Yun Yin's wishes. ”

Seeing that Lu Jiu's attitude was also tough, Tutai had no choice but to snort coldly.

For Tutai's dissatisfaction, Lu Jiu chose to ignore it.

After the official talks, the alliance between the Ghost Country and the Thunder Country has collapsed.

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

In the final analysis, countries will unite because of interests, and they will betray the covenant because of interests.

This kind of thing has long been common among major powers.

Only self-development is the last word in the ninja world.

Placing a country's military strength entirely on other countries is absolutely the way to bring disaster to the country and destroy the country.

"Regarding this matter, there is no need to quarrel between Shinobu Tsuchidai and Shikakugami Shinobi, and it will take several months for this new bomb to be processed into sufficient quantities for export. I can be the first to promise that after half a year, I will provide each of you with a quantity of 10,000. Whether it is put into actual combat or drills, there will be no shortage in a short period of time. ”

Shiraishi crossed his hands on the table and smiled unhurriedly.

"Only 10,000?"

Tutai was a little dissatisfied with this amount.

"It's impossible for all of the manufacturing plants in the country of ghosts to produce this kind of bomb."

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

"Tutai can't bear to laugh, for the time being, the military has no such plans."

Shiraishi quietly refused.

As he spoke, Shiraishi turned his gaze to Hizai and asked, "Speaking of which, when I was on the road, I saw Jiraiya Shinobu from your village. ”

"Jiraiya? What happened to him? ”

Richi, who wanted to dilute his sense of existence, frowned slightly when he heard Shiraishi's words.

"I didn't do anything to Jiraiya, but I felt that Konoha needed to strengthen the management of the ninjas in his village. On the way here, Jiraiya Shinobu wanted to dissuade me from canceling this meeting and avoiding the outbreak of the Fourth Shinobi War. I think your village is lacking in educating ninjas, and you need to strengthen the management of ninjas in your own village. That's all for now, and it's inconvenient for me to say more about the standpoint of outsiders. ”

There was a hint of warning in Shiraishi's words.

Hizari's face was rather embarrassed.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, the resolution between their high-level leaders was not communicated with Jiraiya in advance, but only gave Jiraiya a standby order.

But he didn't expect Jilai to be so reckless and stop Shiraishi on the road.

Rizai looked at Baishi's side, with an indifferent look on his face, and pinched a cold sweat in his heart for the stupid disciple of Jiraiya.

Lu Jiu was also slightly speechless, he didn't expect such a thing to happen to Baishi on the way here.

Compared with the other two of the three ninjas, the political acumen of Jiraiya is really poor. Lu Jiu sighed in his heart, and had to admit such a fact.

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

By the time Konoha decided on this, it would have been impossible for the Fourth Ninja War to break out.

On the contrary, Konoha and the Fire Nation made a decision to refuse talks, which could lead to the Fourth Ninja War.

Jiraiya's approach is not only redundant, but also disgraces Konoha in front of outsiders.

As the three ninjas of Konoha, the most powerful ninja in Konoha is so ignorant of importance in the political field. What does this make outsiders who see it think?

It's estimated that he will secretly mock Konoha's management system, which is so unbearable.

"Regarding this matter, it is to blame that we did not consult with Jiraiya-sama in advance, which caused him to act like this. For this, I apologize to all of you in the country of ghosts. ”

Lu Jiu lowered his head sincerely.

Although there are some childish behaviors that are helpless, but after all, he is also a member of Konoha, and as the leader of the upper ninja class, it is natural for him to have something to say and speak for his own people.

"It's okay, I'm just saying it casually. If I really cared, I wouldn't have done nothing. ”

I don't know if it's a warning, or if I really don't mind this kind of thing happening, Shiraishi left this sentence, got up from his seat, and took Ruri to leave the conference room first.

This is also the official end of the multi-congressional talk.
