Chapter 310: Joint Meeting of the Heads of Military Forces
Jiraiya tried hard to persuade him: "Peace is Yahiko's dream." ”
Nagato roared, "Yahiko was killed by your ninja in Konoha Village, and you are not qualified to mention Yahiko's name!" ”
Jiraiya lowered his head and said, "Yahiko's matter, I just found out when I set off, and I'm really sorry that I didn't be able to protect you." ”
"But the wrong thing Konoha Village has done will never change the fact that peace is Yahiko's dream, and the best remedy for him shouldn't be to realize his dream?"
"For the sake of Yahiko's dream, I hope that you can go to the Land of Fire to participate in this meeting."
Nagato said impatiently: "It's enough for me to promise peace, there's no need to go to your Konoha Village's territory, there's no point in participating in a meeting that I don't know what to do!" ”
"Jiraiya-sensei, your mission is complete, go back."
After saying that, Nagato disappeared on his own.
Strangely, Jiraiya did not show great disappointment, but inexplicable surprise, and less obvious confusion.
"What Uchiha Yu said has come true, so then I just need to wait outside Yuyin Village, okay?"
"It's incredible......"
"But I can only trust him now, if he hadn't told me about Yahiko, I'm afraid I would have completely messed things up as soon as I came here."
Yes, just as Jiraiya left Konoha Village, he was blocked by Yuu Uchiha's wooden clone.
Fortunately, Uchiha Yu did not embarrass him, but instead told him about Nagato, Yahiko and Konan, especially the relationship between Yahiko's death and Shimura Danzo.
Yu Uchiha finally admonished Jiraiya: "For the sake of peace, you must first admit your mistakes when you arrive in Yuyin Village, and you must not pass the buck to the fault of Konoha Village. ”
"Jiraiya-senpai, no matter how disgusting Shimura Tunzo did was, no matter how much we were against him, but when he did this, he represented Konoha Village."
"So these things are the work of Konoha Village, and Yahiko's Dead Konoha Village is responsible."
"You have to tell Nagato that we know we were wrong, so we're trying to correct our mistakes, all for the sake of peace."
Speaking of this, Jiraiya was already in tears, and said grief-stricken: "I know, I'm sure Nagato will agree." ”
Uchiha sighed leisurely: "I have to say, Jiraiya senior, you are an excellent ninja teacher, but you are not a qualified master." ”
"You don't know anything about your students, Nagato won't say yes to everything, he'll accept a very flat contract, but he won't agree to come to the Land of Fire and join the Military Alliance."
"You know the role of the Military Federation, if you lack a powerful ninja who can influence the ninja world, the role of this conference will be lost at least half."
He can't believe Uchiha Yu's words, and in his impression, Nagato should still be that shy and obedient child, who has no opinions, and will believe whatever he says.
"Haha, the Uchiha patriarch is too worried, I'm sure Nagato will agree."
Uchiha Yu sneered, "Whatever you say now, you'll know when the time comes." ”
"I remind you, you must not say that Yahiko's life should not be wasted like this, you can only say that it is for Yahiko's dream."
"In the end, if it doesn't work out, please don't worry, someone will convince Nagato."
"You, you just need to wait outside Yuyin Village for a while."
"Remember, just wait, don't do anything superfluous and throw away the last hope."
As a result, just as Uchiha Yu expected, after Jiraiya admitted his mistake and said that Konoha Village is now actively making up for the mistakes made in the past through action, Nagato's mood eased and he agreed to accept the peace contract.
But he was very resistant to going to the Land of Fire.
Many years ago, Yahiko took him to the wasteland to rescue Konan, which resulted in Yahiko being killed by Hanzo, and this kind of going to the location arranged by others made Nagato subconsciously resist.
When Nagato left Jiraiya and returned to his room and sat down in his chair, the familiar environment and the accustomed chair eased his mood a little.
Then the person he knew most well walked in and said, "I think you should accept Jiraiya-sensei's offer and go to the Land of Fire to have a look." ”
Nagato raised his head and looked at the comer: "Xiao Nan, can I trust Mr. Jiraiya?" Won't Konoha Village really ambush us again? ”
Xiao Nan smiled confidently: "Nagato, now we are not the weaker ones we were at the beginning, what kind of ambush in the ninja world can hurt the two of us?" ”
"You're the strongest in the ninja world, and you're the self-proclaimed god Nagato!"
Nagato was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed dumbly: "You're right, I'm the strongest, now only the enemy is afraid of me, how can I be afraid of them!" ”
"It's just that we Xiao Organization has its own peace plan, so there's no need to participate in the peace plan of Konoha Village, right?"
Xiao Nan asked, "Nagato, is your ultimate weapon plan able to be completed now?" ”
Nagato shook his head and said, "No, the final weapon will take a long time to prepare, and it can't be implemented now." ”
Xiao Nan said, "In that case, why don't you follow the plan of Konoha Village first?" ”
"If they hadn't deceived us, they would have at least allowed peace to come a few years earlier, and if they had deceived us, we would have nothing to lose."
Nagato raised his hand and scratched his eyebrow bone, soothing the pressure of his swollen eyes, and using this movement to concentrate and think carefully.
After a long time, Nagato still hadn't made a decision, and he asked, "What is the opinion of the others?" ”
Just as he was thinking about the problem, all the members of the Xiao organization arrived.
Jiaodu shook his head indifferently and said, "I only believe in money, not peace, and I will do whatever the leader decides." ”
Hei Jue smiled and said, "Lord Angel is right, when there is no way to start the weapon in the end, it is a good idea to execute according to the plan of Konoha Village. ”
The newly joined scorpion said, "Boring peace, the leader can do whatever you say." ”
Nagato shook his head, the new Akatsuki organization was different from the past, it was not composed of idealists, but was more focused on strength.
The only ones who can really help and advise in decision-making are Xiao Nan and Hei Jue.
He couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and it was difficult to decide whether to go to the Fire Nation or not.
[If only Yahiko were still here, he would definitely be able to make the right decision without hesitation. 】
[What decision would Yahiko make if he were faced with today's situation? 】
[Hehe, do you still need to think about this? He would surely have happily decided to go to the Land of Fire to see if he could add a hint of peace. 】
At this time, Xiao Nan spoke again and persuaded: "Nagato, I will accompany you to the Land of Fire." ”
"If Konoha Village dares to lie to us, we will kill them all!"
Nagato's resistance to Konoha Village, in the final analysis, was because of the psychological shadow brought about by Yahiko's death, and when he thought about what Yahiko would do, his resistance had already wavered.
Xiao Nan's persuasion again completely cleared Nagato's hesitation and made him make a decision.
A few minutes later, at the gate of Yuyin Village, Nagato and Konan and Jiraiya met.
Jiraiya was naturally ecstatic, with a face full of "I really didn't misunderstand you", and he couldn't wait to hug Nagato and cry.
Nagato coughed lightly and explained, "For the sake of Yahiko's dream, I decided to go to the Land of Fire with Konan to see what the four generations of Hokage of Konoha Village are doing this time." ”
"If he can really bring peace, I don't want to accept it, but if he can't, I'm not welcome."
……
Xiao Nan's words of persuasion were indeed what she thought in her heart, but it was the arrangement of someone who wanted to say this.
Uchiha Yu was in the divine court, expressing his intentions very bluntly.
He believes that with his and Konoha Village's efforts, the mainstream of the ninja world is no longer war but peace.
He hopes that Yuyin Village will accept peace, and that Nagato will not become the last leader who can start a war.
"The military alliance to be established in Konoha Village will be the most important authority in the ninja world, at least able to lead the war and peace for the next ten years."
"Nagato is a powerful ninja who has the ability to wage war on his own, and the Military Federation needs his joining, and he can also achieve peace in the ninja world through the Military Federation."
Uchiha Yu patiently explained to Konan that the principle of the Military Federation is to admit violence and take a stand through open dialogue, so as to effectively restrain violence.
Allowing Konan to understand why publicly displaying his stance and purpose can effectively restrain violence and reduce war almost drained Uchiha Yu's brain.
This stubborn girl's brain is not flexible at all.
Fortunately, Nagato is still alive, she is still a person who can convince, and she has not gone to the point where oil and salt are not advanced in the end.
In the end, Uchiha Yu's goal was achieved, and Konan promised to emphasize Yahiko's dream when he was alone with Nagato after Jiraiya came.
Xiao Nan couldn't help but wonder: "I just need to say this?" Wouldn't Jiraiya Sensei say it? ”
Uchiha Yu said affirmatively: "Just mention Yahiko's dream, Jirai will definitely say it, but what he said is useless, and it will even make Nagato explode." ”
"After all, one of the root causes of Yahiko's death is Shimura Danzo of Konoha Village."
"I, Jiraiya, the four generations of Hokage Orochimaru, and even Tsunade, who was not involved at all, are all from Konoha ninjas, and I don't have the confidence to say anything about Yahiko's death."
"In the entire ninja world, only you talk about Yahiko's dream, so as not to provoke Nagato's reflexive hatred, but to remind him that Yahiko's dream is peace."
Uchiha Yu said seriously: "The peace of the next ten years is up to you." ”
Xiao Nan looked at Uchiha Yu, and suddenly said, "If I can't convince Nagato, are you going to do something to Nagato and Yuyin Village?" ”
Uchiha couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Xiao Nan's intuition to be so sharp, so he didn't hide it and said: "Yes, I attach great importance to achieving peace as soon as possible, and I hope that the ninja world can calm down as soon as possible." ”
"Nagato is a very powerful ninja, and his reincarnation eye is also a very powerful blood inheritance limit, but because of this, he also has the ability to destroy peace alone."
That's the end of Uchiha Yu's words, and the rest won't need to be said again.
In short, with the last powerful ninja incorporated, the joint meeting of the leaders of the military forces focused on all the military forces on the bright side of the ninja world.
This conference includes the five major ninja villages, as well as small and medium-sized ninja villages such as Yuyin Village, Frost Hidden Village, Xingyin Village, Chuanyin Village, Caoyin Village, Takiyin Village, and Shiyin Village.
It also includes the samurai of the Iron Country, the Snow Shinobi of the Snow Country, and the priests of the Oni Country.
Only the rebels, wandering ninjas, and wandering samurai of the various ninja villages would not accept it, and not long after the meeting began, it was announced that they would eliminate these unfettered chaotic forces.
According to Uchiha Yuu's suggestion to Orochimaru, the Joint Council of Military Forces Chiefs has the power to declare war on a country, and once the declaration of war is passed, all countries must send forces to participate in the war and try to end the war as quickly as possible with overwhelming advantage.
At the same time, a permanent board of directors was also established, which was held by the five ninja villages, and each of the five ninja villages had a veto power.
In addition to the five directors, there are also three major observers, namely Yuyin Village, Iron Country, and Takiyin Village.
The samurai of the Iron Country are numerous, and they are one of the strongest armed forces under the Five Great Ninja Villages.
There is a tailed beast in Takiyin Village, and it has inherited the power of human pillars for a long time.
Not only was the Rain Hidden Village an observer, but Nagato was also granted a "special veto" and had the same privileges as the Five Great Ninja Villages.
When the fourth generation of Hokage Orochimaru brought this forward, I don't know how many people's eyeballs were shocked.
This is the principle of recognition of violence by the Military League.
All the participants found that as the designer and convener of the meeting, Konoha Village did not leave himself a privilege, but shared his rights with the five major ninja villages and the three major observers.
As the victor of the Third Ninja War, this restraint is simply incredible, but it also makes people feel the sincerity of the four generations of Hokage.
Orochimaru gained great prestige and credibility as a result, and although everyone thought it was incredible, they all agreed that Orochimaru was indeed selfless.
In the detailed negotiations that followed, as long as it did not directly involve its own vital interests, no one stood up and strongly objected.
They all believed that Konoha Village had no malicious intentions, and there was no need to suspect that there was some insidious purpose behind their proposal.
The agenda of the Military Federation went very smoothly, and in just two months, all the work was completed.
And the effect is also very obvious.
Only three months after the establishment of the Military Federation, the ninja world was completely calm.
Especially in the Land of Fire, not to mention the rebellion of the Fog Hidden Village, even the bandits who plundered the roads have been cleared up, reaching the level of security in the legendary first Hokage period.
This situation was ridiculed by the nobles of the Fire Nation.
"The four generations of Hokage are really from the common people, and they don't even know restraint and moderation, he cleaned up all the bandits, what do they eat in Konoha Village?"
"My family's guards just beat a few businessmen who don't have long eyes, and they killed five, six, seven, or eight, and their Konoha ninjas rushed out and killed all my guards!"
"It's so unbelievable! This is a samurai raised by nobles! ”
"I also encountered it, obviously there was no live release of the mission, but the Konoha ninja came to kill people by himself, it's really hateful."
"I didn't want to kill anyone, I just sent people to get those untouchables to pay their taxes, and they Konoha ninjas killed all my people, it's so unreasonable."
"The Konoha ninja also said that it was wrong for us to collect taxes in advance, phew, it's not because they want money for the war in Konoha Village, we only collect taxes in advance, and we have no choice but to do it."
"That's, that's it, every time we war, we only collect taxes for a few years in advance, and it's been three wars, and we only received Konoha for 75 years, where is it excessive?"
"That's right, Orochimaru actually has a big mouth, let's give him all the taxes that haven't been paid for many years, how can there be such a reason?"
"Orochimaru probably thought that he was the first Hokage or the second Hokage, and he dared to do such a desperate thing!"
"You must teach him a lesson and let him know how powerful the nobles are!"
"That's right! Teach him a lesson! ”
Who knows, at this time, there was a little nobleman who didn't open his eyes, and he really asked:
"But...... How are we supposed to teach the Hokage a lesson? ”
"The samurai and ninjas of my family say that they will never go against the Konoha ninja."
“……”
[Whose stupid is this, Baga! How can such a real question be asked? 】
[Don't we know that we can't confront the Hokage head-on? 】
In embarrassment, a white-haired old nobleman laughed: "We and Konoha Village are a family, where can a family fight and kill, it must be reasonable." ”
The other nobles immediately chimed in:
"Yes, yes, be reasonable, you must be reasonable!"
"That's right, we're reasonable!"
"In the final analysis, it's that Konoha Village spends too much money, and we really have to pay more taxes, so this tax has nothing to do with us!"
If it is the three generations of Hokage who yearn for the life of the aristocracy, it is basically over here.
After all, the three generations of Hokage yearn for the nobles and are unwilling to tear their faces with the nobles, as long as the nobles have a little reason to find it, he will understand.
But the four generations of Hokage are different, this one was born as the lowliest commoner.
He has no yearning for nobles, and his perception of nobles is rubbish, which is not as good as the second Hokage-sama.
The worst thing is that Orochimaru, the Hokage, will settle accounts!
He easily figured it out that the taxes collected by the nobles were 70 times more than the money handed over to Konoha Village.
is only 70 times, and he dares to suspect that the nobles are greedy for ink, which is too unreasonable.
Wouldn't tax collectors evade taxes? Wouldn't the low-level officials evade taxes?
How can it all be counted on the heads of nobles?
It makes so much sense!
Unfortunately, the four Hokages came to the Fire Capital and handed over the evidence to the Daimyo of Fire, successfully provoking the Daimyo's wrath.
[It's so unreasonable, you bastards, quietly taking the money for yourself, are ten times more than my big name, ten times! ] 】
In fact, it doesn't matter if the daimyo is not angry, he is just the last chapter to cover up his shame.
When the fourth generation of Hokage Orochimaru arrived in the Fire Capital, the ninjas of Konoha Village had already launched the most thorough inventory of the various nobles and the trading houses controlled by them under his orders.
By the time he used the evidence to make the Daimyo of Fire shine, the nobles had already been purged and their homes raided, and by the time he left the Daimyo's mansion, there were no nobles left in the Land of Fire.
