The temptation from the four villages of Konoha was much faster than Xiao Nan imagined.

Although the relevant preparations have been made in advance to dispel the suspicions of these villages, Xiao Nan also understands that it is only a matter of time before Yuyin is exposed. Under the joint infiltration of the four ninja villages, some secrets in this village could not be completely concealed.

All she could do was to delay the progress of the investigation in these villages as much as possible, and by the way, involve the country of ghosts and attract some firepower for Xiao.

As for what kind of consequences will happen in the end, Xiao Nan has not thought about it, but no matter how it is, it will not be worse than Yuyin being exposed.

"Whew...... It's finally cleared. ”

In the tall tower in the center of Yuyin, Xiao Nan used the paper transformation technique to conceal the envoys of the four villages who came from afar again, and then changed back to his original appearance, walked out from behind the wallpaper, and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Unlike last time, there is no need to dismount the envoys of these ninja villages this time, too fierce resistance will only stimulate the desire of the four villages to explore. Regression at the right time, although there is no way to dispel their doubts, at least it will not directly break out into conflict, and it can be used to buy time.

Now for Xiao and Yuyin, the most important thing is to buy time.

It's not Xiao and Yuyin, the country of ghosts and even the rest of the big countries are racing against time to act, trying to dig out the secret behind the scenes in the ninja world, so that the so-called truth will be revealed to the world.

"But then that's the key, just now there was news from the underground Bai Jue that they had captured two ninjas from Yun Yin and are now being held in a prison cell."

The hybrid of black and white Jue emerged from the floor next to him, and then slowly pulled his body off the floor, standing at Xiao Nan's side, and Hei Jue told in a hoarse and low voice.

"Yun Yin? Sure enough, the first thing I couldn't bear was this one. ”

Xiao Nan said with a headache.

Unlike the rest of the ninja villages that have suffered losses, Yun Yin has been recuperating all these years, and in various parts of the ninja world, collecting all kinds of forbidden and secret arts, and learning the country of ghosts, focusing on industrial research, according to Bai Jue's report, Yun Yin and some key cities in the country of thunder have begun to transform like industrialization.

And it has a large naval fleet, and began to simulate and imitate the tailed beast jade, and produce something called chakra cannonballs, completely strengthening the country's military power.

If there was a conflict with this village, she and Nagato might be fine, but Yuyin was afraid that he would be bombarded by Yunyin's long-range firepower.

Therefore, if there is a war with these villages, the best way is to destroy the enemy outside, and not start a battle near Yuyin.

"This village doesn't like to swallow their anger, after all, the loss of the tailed beast is not a trivial matter, but if you catch the slightest clue, it will cause huge trouble. Among these villages, the most troublesome is Yunyin. ”

Black Jedi analyzes it from an objective point of view.

The two Cloud Hidden Ninjas who were caught before and were going to sneak in were just hors d'oeuvres.

The real highlight is to come, and I'm afraid it's not just Yunyin, I'm afraid that most of the other villages will also assist in the action.

"Let's not talk about this side for a while, how is the country of ghosts? Did the news that was sent out before achieve the desired effect? ”

Xiao Nan asked.

is also the driving force behind the ninja world, Xiao Nan hopes that he can share the pressure over there.

"No, the country of ghosts has not admitted that it has the Seven Tails, and it is also completely false about the murder of the fourth Hokage of Konoha and the attack on Konoha with the Nine Tails sixteen years ago, and said that the person who created public opinion will be held accountable."

The reaction of the Oni Country is not unexpected, but anyone with a normal mind will deny these things.

The actions of the various powers in the dark may be dirty and dark, but on the surface, they still check and balance each other, and take peace as their first responsibility, and it is easy not to break out into war.

Not long after the Fourth Ninja World War, the pattern of the ninja world has changed, and even in the face of the difficulties of various countries, the Oni Country only needs to push back diplomatically, and no one will really dare to search within its borders.

In contrast, if Yuyin refuses to allow the ninjas from these villages to enter the Land of Rain to search for anything, it is estimated that the people of these villages will soon be overwhelmed by a large army, and he doesn't mind using his fists to talk to Yuyin about 'reasoning'.

The two countries face the same problems, but as a result, the attitudes of several villages towards them are very different.

Unable to find a breakthrough from the country of ghosts, they will definitely list the country of rain as the first target of suspicion, unless it is a last resort, these ninja villages will not dare to offend the country of ghosts at all.

After hearing this, Xiao Nan just nodded silently, she also knew these things, but there was no way to do this.

In short, as long as you can let the country of ghosts divert some attention, it's a good thing. In this way, it is impossible to put the country of ghosts in a predicament.

"Summoning all the Bai Jue who are free from the outside, and in addition, insert all the special Bai Jue individuals who can be dispatched into the depths of the ground near Yuyin, and drag it for as long as you can."

Xiao Nan gave this order.

"To this extent?"

Black Jedi doesn't seem to be very happy.

After all, the scattered white absolute are all important 'eyes', and if you lose these eyes, you won't be able to get information from the outside world in the first place.

"The highest priority now is to protect the secrets of Yuyin Village. If this stuff leaks out, our plan may fall through and the Oni Nation will benefit. As Madara's will, you don't want Nagato to be disturbed at this time, right? ”

Xiao Nan's gaze was forced to look at the black Jedi.

"......" Hei Jue was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay to summon those Bai Jue back, but Bai who is planted near Mist Yin, Cloud Yin, and Konoha must not evacuate. If we lose the approximate position of the human pillar during this period, we will be even more passive. And in every place, it is necessary to ensure that there are one or two special individuals who are absolutely white, to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

There are still tailed beasts in these three villages, and before the tailed beasts in these villages are captured, no matter how big the sacrifice is, the monitoring of these three villages must be guaranteed.

It was not easy to delineate the approximate location and residence of these people's pillars, and if these villages changed the people's pillars again during this period, and this side could not keep up with them at the first time, all the efforts of the past few months would be wasted.

Although the difficulty of infiltrating these villages is not as good as that of the country of ghosts, it is not just any third-rate character who can sneak in.

“…… Yes, let's do it. ”

Xiao Nan and Hei Jue each took a step back and reached this agreement.

◎

Mid-August.

After learning the news that the Seven Tails had fallen into the hands of the Oni Country, Takikure conducted four consecutive diplomatic incidents with the Oni Country within seven days, and the Konoha side also sent personnel to help Takiin. In addition to the incident about the Seven Tails, about the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha and the sacrifice of the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate, Konoha also mentioned it.

There is not much real evidence for the Seven-Tails incident, but there are many doubts about the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha and the sacrifice of the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shuimen, and the most critical place is that the former Nine-Tails Pillar Force Vortex Kushina gave birth, which became an important cause of the serious decline in Konoha's strength sixteen years ago.

At that time, the hospital personnel who prescribed medicine for the former Nine-Tails Pillar Force Uzumaki Kushina was none other than the former director of the pharmacy department of Konoha Hospital, Asami Masumi, and this person had already determined that there was a collusion with the Oni Country, and the other party was fully capable of surmising the approximate date of the birth of the former Nine-Tails Pillar Force, so that Konoha suffered losses.

All of this faintly points to the country of ghosts. In order to weaken Konoha's prestige and military power at that time, it led to the Nine-Tails going berserk and deliberately assassinating the fourth Hokage wave Feng Shui Gate.

Konoha, who has obtained some important physical evidence, will naturally bite into this, but because the most important human witness, Asami Masumi, has been wiped out, so, in these matters, the results achieved so far are not ideal.

At most, it has a certain upper hand in public opinion.

But this is obviously not what Konoha and Takikure want.

Therefore, the verbal negotiations between the three parties are very intense, but the main energy of the country of ghosts is to deal with Konoha, and for Takihi, it is constantly claiming that the country of ghosts has not taken away the seven tails, and if you want to make the country of ghosts sit down, you must come up with credible human and material evidence, otherwise it will not be accepted.

The diplomatic department is constantly fighting the fire, but the military of the Ghost Country is peaceful, completely ignoring the voices of the outside world.

After all, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

At most, I sighed, the diplomatic department was really lively, fighting with different people every day, and the quarrels were endless.

This is already a normal day for the diplomatic department of the Oni Country, so there is no need to care.

Shiraishi, who was sitting in the office, also ignored the affairs of Konoha and Takihi, and he, the Minister of War, did not need to come forward to deal with these trivial matters in person. As long as there is not sufficient human and material evidence, at most it will occupy some advantages in lip service, and resisting the work of these people is exactly what the personnel of the diplomatic department need to do.

If he can't even handle such a trivial matter, he has to consider whether he should react to the government, replace the people in the diplomatic department, and arrange for more capable people to go up to the top.

Compared to the matter of Konoha and Takigakure, Shiraishi now has more important things to deal with.

In front of him, stood Kakashi, who had rushed over from the intelligence service.

The mental state on the other party's face is good, and the work and rest time during this period seem to be very organized, and there is no chaos.

"Your next place of work is the Ninja School."

Shiraishi decided where Kakashi would go next.

The important information of the intelligence department has already been eaten by Kakashi, and there is no need to throw all his energy into the intelligence department in the future, it would be too much of a waste of Kakashi's talents.

"Ninja school?"

"It is an important foundation of the military, and the relationships in it are intricate, and many shinobi have come out of there. Your position there is basically the same as in the intelligence department, as a teaching consultant. I hope that you will use your knowledge to polish the foundation of those students even stronger. ”

Shiraishi said.

Kakashi has experienced a lot of things, and there are also many things that he is good at.

When he was young, he participated in the ninja war, and after the war, he rose through the ranks in Konoha and entered the dark department, becoming a team leader, a squad leader, a deputy minister, and then a minister, and then a manager in the Konoha security department for a period of time. In secret, he is even more comfortable with the four generations of Hokage, the three generations of Hokage, the root, and Orochimaru, and he also has a powerful assassination ability.

In the espionage course, his experience is invaluable knowledge for future students who will engage in espionage.

In terms of ninjas, although Kakashi is good at thunder and earth escape, the rest of the attribute chakra are also slightly involved, and he is a very rare full-attribute chakra. At the age of ten, he created the A-level ninjutsu Chidori, and then with Chidori, he derived a large number of thunder escape techniques of this system. The experience along the way is also of great reference and learning value for students.

Unless it's a freak like Kazuhime, with Kakashi's ability, he can quickly adapt to teaching a wide variety of students.

"Is that so? I see, then, does the intelligence ministry need to leave on its side? ”

Kakashi nodded, understanding Shiraishi's thoughts.

Regardless of his own experience and what he is good at, he is indeed very good at teaching students in the ninja school, and in the school, he can quickly accumulate contacts.

Whether it's the rest of the teachers, the ninjas who have graduated from school, or the students who are in their studies, this is a valuable network resource.

In the cultivation of ninjas, the country of ghosts adopts a strategy of refinement and few, which leads to the fact that the lower ninja, middle ninja, and upper ninja of the country of ghosts are above the average level of the same level, and they are more than the ninjas of other major countries. If you pair it with excellent ninja equipment, such as Chakra armor, which can improve the combat effectiveness of ninjas, you can basically deal with multiple people at the same level at the same time.

In the Fourth Shinobi World War, the upper ninja of the Oni Country, with their excellent strength and chakra armor, can deal with two or three enemies at the same time without being defeated.

It seems that there are only about 300 shinobi in the country of ghosts, but the strength that it really shows is more than double.

Villages like Sand Hide and Iwakure, aside from top ninjas like Gokage, it's not a problem to deal with two or three at a time.

"The security adviser of the intelligence department will be kept for the time being, and then your focus will be on the ninja school, and the intelligence department will check two or three times every ten years."

After arranging Kakashi's work, Shiraishi let the other party leave.

The deployment of the military is quietly underway.

A few days ago, Sasuke Uchiha also left the country of ghosts with a few subordinates of Shigego and the four of them, and went to the border between the country of ghosts and the country of earth, where he patrolled. In addition, Ruri's side also sent the shrine maiden Hoshino, who had followed Sasuke before, to rejoin Sasuke's team and serve as a medical worker.

Shrine Maiden Hoshino, Honmei Uchiha Hoshino, unlike most Uchiha ninjas who take the pure combat route, she is not only excellent in combat, but also good at medical ninjutsu. It was clearly some trivial funding from the Uchiha clan for Sasuke.

Of course, it may be nice to have the idea that these two Uchiha people can rub some spark of passion together in the process of working together.

Whether it is appearance, personality, or qualifications, Uchiha Hoshino is the best among the younger generation of Uchiha. Except for being three or four years older than Sasuke in terms of age, there is nothing wrong with the rest.

Shiraishi didn't pay much attention to these things, and just gave an approved reply.

Placing Sasuke on the Iwakushi battle line, on the one hand, is to exercise the opponent's grassroots ability, and on the other hand, it is also because if the Fifth Ninja World War breaks out in the future, then Sasuke is a sharp knife that pierces directly into the heart of the Earth Country, and can attack the hinterland of the Earth Country at any time.

The resources divided by the big countries are getting less and less, but the proportion of the ghost country is getting heavier and heavier, land, population, are the key, even if there is no Xiao mixing, the fifth ninja war will be accompanied by the uneven distribution of resources and land, which will be detonated.

The Fourth Ninja World War was just a wrong attempt by various major powers, and the contradictions themselves were only the first leaks, and they had not yet accumulated to the point of irreconcilability.

But not anymore.

The pace of the Oni no Kuni is getting faster and faster, like a train that has reached the highest speed, and the brake function has been stopped, and it can't stop even if you want to.

The current country of demons is no longer transferred or decided by Shiraishi's personal will.

There is no other way but to move forward and reach the end.

But there is only one thing, Shiraishi can decide.

That's where the war began, and how the first shot was fired.

In the open ninja map in front of him, Shiraishi's gaze calmly locked on the encirclement area of the great powers, the Land of Rain.

"Tailed Beast...... Although the preparation is insufficient, it is impossible to do everything as expected. ”

As he spoke, Shiraishi dialed out the signal and issued an order to the liaison on the other side:

"Inform all high-level cadres that at nine o'clock in the morning on the 31st of this month, a military meeting of the highest level will be held in Conference Room 301 of the First Administrative Building."

Hanging up the communication, Shiraishi got up and left a shadow clone, leaving the office, and the main body walked in the direction of the research institute.

◎

Jiraiya wears a raincoat and walks on the land of the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain, which has been eroded by several wars, has begun to rejuvenate.

Although there is not much land that can be sown due to the perennial rainfall in this country, this country has always had more water and less food, and food is one of the biggest problems in this country.

However, it seems that due to the gradual rise of industry, some new industries have been revived in some cities in the Land of Rain, and even if food is scarce due to the barrenness of the land, the Land of Rain, which can connect the roads of the three great powers, can rely on the slowly developing industry and commerce to obtain funds to buy large quantities of food in peacetime.

Although it may not be very prosperous, it can basically solve the problem of food and clothing for most of the people in the country of rain, and even leave spare energy to feed back to Yuyin.

Therefore, it is not so incomprehensible for the people of the Land of Rain to regard Payne, the current leader of Rain Hide, as a 'god'.

At least in Jiraiya's opinion, the current leader of Rain Hidden must be a great ninja who loves the people like a son.

Most of these compassionate people have nothing to do with the dangerous organization that captures tailed beasts and destroys the peace of the ninja world.

Although in the eyes of Jiraiya, there are quite a lot of doubts about Payne, the current leader of Yuyin, but these doubts seem insignificant in the face of this righteousness and compassion.

"It's a good day of peace, if only it could be like this forever."

Jiraiya leaves the town he just passed by, happy for the stability and peace of the country.

But when I think that there is a very high possibility of a dangerous organization hiding in this country, I can't help but be a little worried.

And not only that, Konoha where he is located, including the other three ninja villages, has recently sent a large number of ninjas into the territory of the Rain Country to search for them.

Although a series of agreements have been signed with Yugakure not to disturb the people and not to interfere in internal affairs, once a battle breaks out, can such an agreement really restrain the destructive power of the ninja?

During the Third Ninja World War, the Konoha ninja under the leadership of Orochimaru, like wolves and tigers, wreaked havoc everywhere in the Land of Rain in order to resist the invasion of the Land of Fire, and did not hesitate to involve the Rain Hide. Although it did lay a deep foundation for Konoha's victory at that time, what was left to the Land of Rain was indeed an even worse mess.

Once let the rain hide, but also fell into the bloody rule of Konoha.

Some people, some things, he, the three forbearances, is also powerless.

And now, such a thing seems to have re-emerged in this country.

"It's time to act as soon as possible, and we can't sit back and wait like this."

Jiraiya muttered.

It's true that he doesn't want him to go deep alone, but in the current situation, he may need to take a risk.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger.

It is necessary to settle the matter before it becomes serious, otherwise it will turn into a huge disaster like the Oni no Kuni.

Both Tsunade and the rest of the village shadows underestimated the seriousness of the matter.

Bang.

Jiraiya used psychic techniques to summon a toad.

Blue and orange skin, limbs on the ground, about the size of a human calf, croaking at Jiraiya.

This is one of the summoning frogs that Myoki Mountain uses to communicate.

Although most of the toads in Myoki Mountain were annihilated in the Fourth Ninja World War, some of them still escaped, and many of them had special abilities.

In a country like the Land of Rain, which rains for many years, it is most appropriate to use the toads of Mt. Mioki to gather intelligence.

"Jiraiya, long time no see. Is there anything wrong with letting me out this time? ”

Summons Frog asked.

For Jiraiya, its feelings are extremely complicated.

But I also know that the fall of Miaomu Mountain can't be attributed to Jiraiya and Konoha for all the reasons.

However, some of the remaining toads believe that they should be completely disconnected from Konoha and Jiraiya, so as not to get involved in ninja disputes again.

However, there are some toads who decide to continue to cooperate with Konoha and take revenge on the country of ghosts.

As for the third faction, it is led by the two great immortals, Fukasaku and Shima, and belongs to the neutral faction, which reconciles contradictions. It belongs to the neutral faction, and its attitude towards Konoha and Jiraiya is neither opposed nor supported, and it is just in accordance with the psychic contract to complete the tasks assigned by the contractor. Other than that, it doesn't interfere with anything anymore.

"Next, I need you to contact the local toad and investigate something."

Jiraiya took out a scroll and spread it out in front of the summoning frog.

The summoning frog quickly glanced at it and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it didn't have anything to do with the country of ghosts.

The battle of Myomu Mountain more than two years ago is still fresh in my memory.

Even the Great Toad Immortal died in that battle, and it didn't have the courage to provoke the beast of the Oni Country.

"I see, leave it to me. Because the amount of information you give is relatively small, it will take a lot of time to investigate clearly. I will contact you as soon as I get the news. ”

The summons frog agreed, and then jumped away under the gaze of Jiraiya.
