The first day of the Twin Shadows talks ended with little progress on the Konoha side, with little distraction.

Both sides know very well that negotiation itself is an act that requires constant patience with each other, testing each other's bottom line back and forth, and repeatedly demonstrating each other's force, in order to finally get a result that both sides are barely satisfied with.

The Fog Hidden side has Kaguya's force as a guarantee, and it is natural that the lion can open his mouth a little when the conditions are proposed, but Konoha, as the side with stronger comprehensive strength, will not accept all the conditions proposed by the Fog Hidden like a small country that is powerless to resist the Fog Hide.

It is foreseeable that the two sides will have to exchange views on the specific terms of the peace treaty for at least several days before it is possible to come up with a final version of the peace treaty.

But these things have nothing to do with Zilai for the time being.

At this time, he was drinking sullen wine alone in an izakaya in a nearby town, sip after sip, glass after cup.

It's as if I want to use this way to expel all the bad things I encountered today.

"Welcome, what would you like to drink?"

"A pot of sake is fine."

"Okay, you're ready for the guests right away, where are you going to sit?"

"This way."

"Huh? But the guests, there are already other guests sitting here......"

"That's what I'm here for."

In the sound of gently swaying clothes, someone sat down opposite Jiraiya, who was drinking alcohol, and the middle-aged man with white hair looked up and saw that sitting opposite was a young and handsome black-haired young man with a high-spirited face, and his face was black at that time.

"Don't think that Konoha and Kishiin are negotiating peace, and you can affect my state of mind in such a grand manner, Kaguya?"

"The era when Konoha and Kirikure would shout and kill when they met is over for the time being, don't pull the hostility so high as soon as you come up, Jiraiya," Kaguya Ren picked up her own pot of sake and poured a glass, and while taking a sip, she said to Jiraiya, who was already full of alcohol, in a relaxed tone like a normal boy:

"I just have some things I want to ask you who were entrusted with the prophecy by the great toad immortal of Miaomu Mountain."

"What can you do if you are entrusted with prophecy?" Jiraiya smiled bitterly, and put down the wine glass in his hand with a low expression, "I'm just a toad struggling desperately in the dry well of failure, but I can't jump out of the well to see the wider world, and I can't answer your question standing above the wellhead." ”

"You're belittling yourself so seriously, don't you want to see Nagato and me get mixed up so much, Jiraiya?"

In the face of Kaguya's questioning, Jiraiya took the initiative to deviate from his face, and while pouring out all the remaining liquor in the jug at hand, he showed a very lonely expression on his face.

"'Akatsuki' will come to the Iron Country to accept the Daimyo's employment and become the escort of the Twin Shadows Talks, all because of you, right?"

"I just gave them an opportunity to accelerate their popularity, and the people who really decided whether to come or not were the ones themselves."

Kaguya Ren put down the wine glass that had been drunk in his hand, and casually put it aside with the pot of sake, and then said unhurriedly:

"Disciples will always grow up, and then choose different life paths according to their own life experiences, and always hope that they are still what you remember, if you can't be considered an excellent teacher, Zilaiye."

"Do you think I can't see that you're using Nagato to attract firepower for you, Kaguya?" Jilai also roared, and subconsciously crumpled the wine glass in his hand into pieces.

"You asked them to be in charge of the guards and witness the peace treaty signed between our two villages, so that Nagato and his reincarnation eyes would be noticed by the other three villages, so that the people of the other villages could be distracted from the actions of Nagato and 'Akatsuki', and they couldn't devote themselves to studying the way to defeat you and Kirigakure, right?"

"Then have you ever thought that Nagato and Yahiko actually cooperated with me even though they knew that I was using them?"

Kaguya Ren gently tapped the table with her fingers, pointed to Jiraiya, who was stunned by what she said, and said slowly:

"Self-sufficiently, it's a bit boring to be self-paralyzed and self-deceive at this time...... Nagato and Yahiko are the heroes of the people who created the peace organization 'Akatsuki' of their own volition, and little by little gathered a large number of like-minded companions around them, do you really think that they who have come to this point from scratch will be naïve enough to think that the gifts I gave them do not need to be reciprocated? ”

“…… No. Jiraiya clenched the flask in his hand and said word by word.

"Doesn't that make the question clear?"

Kaguya dipped her fingers in the sake and began to write and draw on the table.

"I'm using the power of 'Akatsuki' and Nagato to buy time for development and change for the fog, and 'Akatsuki' and Nagato are also using my identity as the future Mizukage to exchange for the opportunity to be able to appear on a broader stage, since everyone's purpose is to make the ninja world as peaceful as possible in the next ten years, so what's wrong with using each other's resources?"

"I'm not like those who say they give the Children of Prophecy the task of bringing change to the ninja world, and then go out and travel around on their own, regardless of what the Children of Prophecy are doing, I'm very generous to useful collaborators."

"Haven't you considered that 'Xiao' may not be able to withstand so many cold arrows and hidden guns from the shadows!?" He slapped the table lightly, and his white hair suddenly stood up like an angry lion.

"Except for Nagato, most of the people in 'Akatsuki' are just ninjas with very ordinary talents, and if they are targeted by the hawks of the other three ninja villages, those ordinary people will definitely suffer heavy casualties! Nagato is not an unreasonable monster like you, but he is a genius who can't deter everyone in other villages! ”

"No, you're wrong, Jiraiya," Kaguya Ren held up a finger and shook it gently, "If anyone can exercise the power that can threaten me in this era, then the only candidate is Nagato, who has the eye of reincarnation." ”

"You don't understand how much potential the eye of reincarnation has, you don't understand how crucial the constitution of the Uzumaki clan is to exert the power of the eye of reincarnation, and you don't understand the world seen in Nagato's eyes."

"The world you see at this time is a world where the great powers are licking their wounds after the war and unabashedly preparing for the next war, while Nagato sees a world that has already felt the pain, experienced the pain, understood the pain, accepted the pain, and is comprehending the preciousness of peace."

"Everyone has shed blood, everyone has experienced loss, no matter which country people are longing for peace, for 'Xiao', as long as they can grasp this opportunity, every time the fireworks of war are delayed for a period of time, the seeds of peace will gain an extra period of time to sprout, and the idea of 'Xiao' to achieve peace through means other than violence will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"For them, this is the best time to convey their ideas to the whole world and influence every country, once they miss it, they can only bury their heads and work hard to cultivate their own acres and threes of land step by step, waiting for the end of the next ninja war, and then start large-scale activities."

"I think the members of 'Xiao' at this time should not want to see the organization become stronger because of the outbreak of war again."

Listening to Kaguya's detailed analysis, as if he had been following Nagato and Yahiko to observe their every move, Jiraiya was stunned for a while, and finally said to Kaguya Rity:

"Whether it's Orochimaru, or you, how can a guy with a pair of snake-shaped vertical children be so good at demagoguery...... I almost believed it. ”

"Without this ability to see through people's hearts, I wouldn't think of using other people's ideals to accomplish my own goals......" Kaguya spread her hands and said with a look of course:

"Besides, it's not because you always want to escape, thinking that as long as you entrust the task of changing the world to the children of prophecy you found, you can leave it alone, and you don't even know what they have experienced, what they dream, and what they insist on, so it will be so easy for me to find a flaw and directly dismiss it, Zilaiye."

Jiraiya's old face flushed, and he covered up the past with the strength of the wine, then cleared his throat and asked in a deep voice:

"So, what do you want to ask me, or what do you want to ask the Great Toad Immortal of Miaomu Mountain, Kaguya?"

Kaguya folded her hands under her chin and said calmly with her eyes:

"The White Snake Immortal told me that she saw in me the possibility of turning the established future and destiny into chaos...... I would like to ask the Great Toad Immortal, who has mastered the prophetic ability that has never gone wrong, whether the future it sees has changed because of my activity. Or is my activity itself part of the prophecy it sees? ”

"Uh, this...... It's really hard to answer. ”

After listening to Kaguya's question, Jiraiya, who hadn't been back to Myoki Mountain for a while, scratched his head and said uncertainly:

"But I definitely can't answer this kind of thing myself, when the big toad immortal has a dream about the future again and calls me over, I'll find another chance......"

Peng.

Before he could finish speaking, he turned into a cloud of white smoke and disappeared into the izakaya without warning.

"Reverse Channeling? Myoki Mountain's? ”

Kaguya's eyes narrowed, instinctively sensing the slightest hint of something wrong.
