Chapter 311 Missing

Following Chiyo's words, the atmosphere at the venue was undoubtedly extremely solemn.

But everyone knows that this is just Chiyo, using the power of the Five Great Nations to put pressure on the dishonest traitor.

Deliberately avoiding the topic of the war in the Kingdom of the Wind, but pointing the finger at the opponent's rebellious identity, it can indeed make Shayin Village occupy the righteousness in the first place, and can quickly get the support of the other five shadows.

Mifune frowned more and more. To be honest, before the Five Kages Conference started, he did not want the Five Kages Conference to be held within the territory of the Iron Kingdom.

However, due to the power of the Five Great Nations and the compromise of the Daimyo of the Iron Country, even he had to abide by such rules and act as the defender of order in the Five Kages Conference.

How difficult it is to maintain this so-called 'order'.

After all, this is not the era of the samurai, but the era of the ninja. It is a bit difficult to face just one Kazekage. If the other five kages are also involved, I am afraid that I will have to compromise to a certain extent.

As Chiyo's proposal fell, the other Gokages present either sneered, or were indifferent, and felt embarrassed. They naturally understood Chiyo's plan. Although they knew that they were being used, their interests were undoubtedly the same as Chiyo's when it came to dealing with betrayal.

Just when Mifune was about to speak, trying to prevent such chaos from happening as much as possible, Shiraishi, who was sitting next to Mifune, suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen's face opposite him, then turned his head, landed on Chiyo's expressionless face, and said calmly:

"Let's leave this matter to us, the parties concerned. Your Excellency Mifune and the country of iron, there is no need to get involved."

"Um?"

Mifune looked at Shiraishi in a little surprise, then exhaled, nodded, and did not speak.

Shiraishi glanced back at Ayane, the latter understood, and immediately found a piece of paper from his arms, and showed it lightly.

"What the agent Kazaki-sama said just now, in my opinion, is a bit out of character. Before I was invited to participate in this five-kage meeting, the documents about our wanted traitors had passed the official verification of Konoha and Fire Nation, and they had been officially canceled about an hour before the meeting."

Baishi explained slowly, with a calm face, without any panic, as if he was just stating a trivial matter.

But hearing it from the unsuspecting Five Shadows, that's another matter.

"What?"

Not only the unaware Gokage, but even the guard behind them, Jonin, was shocked at the first moment, looking at the document in Ayane's hand.

I can't believe that Konoha and Fire Nation will cancel Shiraishi and others' renegade identities.

So, they all looked towards the position where the Third Hokage was, and even the three of Lujiu behind them felt tremendous pressure.

But at this moment, they could only smile helplessly in their hearts, and remained silent.

Hokage Hirzen also lowered his eyebrows, holding the pipe calmly, as if he didn't care about the eyes that gathered over him.

There was a voice that seemed to be contemptuous and sneering, but Hirizhan turned a deaf ear to it, but he also knew that after Shiraishi said this, Konoha lost all face.

But there is no way.

If Konoha insists on holding on to his face this time, he will lose more.

He only hopes that after the Five Kages talks, Shiraishi can keep his promise and send Jiraiya back to Konoha safely without harming Jiraiya.

Signing a 'contract' with a group of rebels who betrayed the village, Hirizhan felt bitter in his heart, he was getting more and more confused as he got older.

The Uchiha incident caused him chaos, and he also realized that the kingdom of ghosts cannot be allowed to rise, otherwise Konoha's situation will be even more embarrassing.

However, things have evolved to this point. The Kingdom of the Wind was defeated, and Konoha's elite team went to support the Kingdom of the Wind. Most of them were killed or injured. The result was so bad that it couldn't be worse. Konoha couldn't bear more losses at this moment.

Compared to recovering Konoha's loss, the face of this old face is not so important.

Ignoring the other Gokages with sneering or contemptuous expressions on their faces, Shiraishi just set his eyes on Chiyo whose face was gradually gloomy, raised the corners of his mouth calmly and said with a smile:

"Everyone here is ignorant of this matter, and I can forgive you for a moment or two. But ignorance is biased if you speak out at the solemn Five Kage Conference. What do you think, representing Kazekage-dono? Or, do you want Sahikaku to fight our ghost country again. Then, please also complete the succession ceremony of the Five Kazekage."

Not so much advice as a threat.

Sure enough, after Shiraishi finished speaking, the corners of Chiyo's eyes twitched violently, and the wrinkled flesh on his face also trembled. It was obvious that Shiraishi's threat had worked.

"Haha, the puppet old woman, she was severely taught. The young people of today are really amazing."

Onogi laughed without scruple, as if he was happy to see his past opponent being ridiculed by a junior like this.

Chiyo paid no heed to Onogi's ridicule, and she would not be thrown into chaos and fall into the rhythm of others just because of such a simple threat.

It's just that Konoha lifted the arrest warrant for Shiraishi and others, which was something she didn't expect.

And Konoha did not inform her about this in advance, there may be a deeper reason for this.

Leaving aside the rest of Shinobu Village, Konoha and Sand Yin are basically in the same position at this moment, so there is no special reason for this, and Chiyo does not believe it.

In this way, it may be difficult to get Konoha's full support during this meeting.

"There is no need for the Oni Nation to worry about this. In fact, this time, our Sha Yin has less than one-third of our troops on the battlefield. Young people must at least have basic respect for their elders."

Chiyo ignored Shiraishi's threat and snorted coldly.

"So that's the case. From this point of view, I underestimated Sagakushi's strength. Then, I don't think it is necessary to hold the Five Kages Tournament. We should go back to our respective houses and prepare to continue fighting. Let me also experience Sagakushi's true strength, so as not to let outsiders make irresponsible remarks and insult the reputation of Sagakushi and Kazekage."

After listening to Chiyo, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

If she really wanted to continue the fight, she would not have held the Five Kages Conference in the Iron Country in the name of Kazekage.

It is precisely because they cannot bear such consequences that they turn to the other five shadows to put pressure on the kingdom of ghosts, turning major events into minor ones.

Chiyo took a deep breath, she knew that at this time, she must not be provoked by Shiraishi, so that she would lose her composure.

"I have to say that this kind of provocative method is very bad. This is the scene of the Five Kages meeting, not the battlefield. After all, I now wonder whether it is you who deceived the priestess of the kingdom of ghosts to make you act so boldly."

Since it is impossible to find a flaw from the point of rebellion and forbearance and break through the opponent's defense line, then it can only attack from other places.

"It is the previous generation of witches who took us in, and it has nothing to do with this generation of witches. If there is any problem, the agent Kazekage-dono can go to the previous generation of witches to ask about relevant matters. It involves the secrets inside the kingdom of ghosts, and I don't need to explain to an outsider. Or is the kingdom of winds wanting to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries? If this is the case, then we have to meet on the battlefield, and now we should go back to our respective families."

Baishi smiled slightly.

Chiyo also felt quite a headache for Shiraishi's sharp words that never left the battlefield.

This brat really doesn't give Sha Yin any face.

And after Shiraishi said this, she couldn't question the position of the witch of the ghost country, otherwise she would appear to be making trouble for no reason.

Just then, Yakura spoke.

"I have heard about the disputes between the land of wind and the land of ghosts in the land of water. So, please calm down, the third ninja world war is over soon, and now all countries are in the stage of recuperation. As five shadows, I don't want new turmoil in the current ninja world."

"Among all of you here, you are the least qualified to say such things, Mizukage. Taking power in the form of a coup d'tat, you will only make us think that you have some intentions."

Onoki looked at Yagura with a scrutinizing gaze.

Yakura and Onogi looked at each other not to be outdone.

"Tu Ying seems to have a prejudice against the way I ascended to power. However, this is an internal matter of Wuyin Village and has nothing to do with outsiders. Don't stretch your claws too long, and be careful not to be chopped off."

A sharp look flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, young people nowadays have no manners at all."

"You provoked it first, Your Excellency Dokage."

Yakura refused to give an inch, and as he spoke, Yakura turned his attention back to Shiraishi and Chiyo.

"Your Excellency Shiraishi, and the agent Kazekage, please explain how we can quell the war between the two countries and avoid greater disasters. Now that the countries are becoming more stable, I personally hope that peace is the most important thing."

After Yagura finished speaking, Shiraishi immediately followed up and said: "We demand that the Kingdom of Winds cede the northwest region to the Kingdom of Ghosts as compensation. As long as the Kingdom of Winds and Sand Yin can agree to this condition, the Kingdom of Ghosts will immediately stop all military operations against the Kingdom of Winds."

"This kind of thing is absolutely impossible! Don't be too ugly, boy!"

This undoubtedly aroused the anger in Chiyo's heart, and he really dared to raise this condition.

She had never been so irritated by a person since she was a consultant.

"How does the Kingdom of Wind plan to compensate the Kingdom of Ghosts? Let me just listen to your opinion."

Shiraishi clasped his hands in front of his chest, and glanced at Chiyo.

Chiyo replied without hesitation: "Regarding compensation, I think that the opinion of the Ghost Country's military is just making trouble for no reason. This war is a long-planned plan by your Ghost Country, which caused great trauma to our Wind Country. It should be reasonable for the Ghost Country to compensate the Wind Country to make up for the loss of the Wind Country."

"There is nothing wrong with accusing you of a crime. You said that the Kingdom of Ghosts has planned this war for a long time. Please act as your agent, Your Excellency Kazekage, to present evidence."

Baishi responded calmly.

Chiyo stopped talking, obviously, she couldn't come up with any valid evidence.

"If you can't come up with evidence, let me explain. Before launching a self-defense counterattack against the Land of Winds, your Maji Jnin led a thousand sand ninjas, ignoring the warnings from the Army of the Oni Lands, and invaded the territory of the Oni Lands with barbaric acts. Your acting Kazekage-dono cannot deny this."

"There is a reason for this kind of thing. The Daming Mansion of the Land of Winds was attacked by debt collectors from your Ghost Country. In order to defend the majesty of the daimyo, we Sain had no choice but to send troops to the Ghost Country."

"So, what is the root cause of this incident? In the Third Ninja War, Sha Yin borrowed a large amount of loans to the Guo Guo Guoyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce and promised to return it. However, on the date of return, Sha Yin repeatedly resigned, and used the name of the country of wind as a shield. I had to go out of this strategy. In the final analysis, Shayin is wrong first. "

"This is turning black and white! At that time, we had already discussed with the daimyo and prepared to repay the loan. It was only because of the rude behavior of the debt collector that the daimyo was angry and withdrew the order."

"So did you directly use force to coerce it? And quickly occupied the border area of the ghost country, which brought great panic to the people inside the ghost country. You are the ones who don't pay their debts, you are the first to attack, and you are the ones who return after being counterattacked by law.

Shiraishi said so.

"What's the meaning?"

"Before I came, I gave an order to the Ghost Country troops stationed in the northwest region of the Wind Country. If Sand Hidden and the Wind Country don't give the Ghost Country a reasonable compensation within a week, I will order the troops there to attack the Wind Country again. Even if it breaks into the Sand Hidden Village or even the Daming Mansion, it will eventually cause other countries to participate, triggering the Fourth Ninja World War."

"Are you crazy?"

Chiyo turned pale in shock and looked at Shiraishi.

She had never seen someone who downplayed the war so lightly, and he was still talking nonsense in front of Wukage.

Could it be that he doesn't care about the positions of the other big countries at all, and wants to die with the Kingdom of Wind?

Chiyo couldn't tell for a while whether Shiraishi was talking orally, or was planning to put it into action directly.

"It is your Kingdom of Wind, not the Kingdom of Ghosts, who has been defeated and asked for peace talks. If you cannot pay the compensation that satisfies the Kingdom of Ghosts, I don't mind using force to seize the compensation I deserve. This is my request. If you disagree, then we will meet on the battlefield. I'm done talking, please feel free to act as your agent, Kazekage-sama."

After Baishi finished speaking, he closed his eyes, stopped speaking, and ignored the gazes of the people around him.

Chiyo's face was gloomy, dull and silent, with flickering eyes, as if he was also calculating the gains and losses. For example, if there was another war with the kingdom of ghosts, Sagakushi could survive.

The answer is impossible.

Luosha's mood is extremely unstable now. In Shayin Village, almost no one can come out to take charge of the overall situation. Coupled with the impact of the defeat, morale is low.

If it is a direct confrontation, it is nothing more than repeating the previous mistakes.

And if all 10,000 ninjas are directly invested in the form of killing each other, it will certainly bring indelible damage to the kingdom of ghosts, such as large economic and population losses, but Sand Hidden Village will be removed from the ninja world.

At this moment, Mifune coughed, breaking the extremely oppressive atmosphere in the meeting room, stood up from his seat, and said to everyone present: "Well, the meeting has been going on for an hour, everyone must be very tired, why don't you go back to the guest room to rest tonight, how about discussing it tomorrow?"

"The old man agrees. After sitting for so long, I do feel a bit sore and backache. Young people also have to be considerate of the old man's bones."

Onogi smiled, floated up from the seat, and stretched.

Fourth Raikage snorted and stood up from his seat without any objection.

"Then let's stop here today and talk about it tomorrow."

Yakura nodded, took Qing and Guideng Manyue, and left the meeting room first, without any intention of stopping.

"What do you think, Your Excellency Baishi?"

Mifune looked aside.

"Then follow what Mifune-dono said. But time waits for no one. I hope that the agent, Kazekage-dono, can give me a satisfactory answer tomorrow. Of course, I don't have any objections to the delay until a week later. It's nothing more than letting Sand Yin die more people. So, see you tomorrow."

Shiraishi stood up, looked over Mifune, and looked at Chiyo, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chiyo clenched her fists tightly, and finally said nothing.

The scorching escape ninja Ye Cang behind her, and another sand ninja, looked at Shiraishi coldly, with a murderous look.

This threat from eyes was naturally ignored by Shiraishi, and he left the conference room with Ayane and Chiko.

"The atmosphere in the conference room just now was really scary, I was almost out of breath."

In Onogi's lounge, Iwagakushi Kami Shinobu, who was born in the demolition unit, breathed out lightly, feeling relieved.

Huang Tu ignored the sighs of his colleagues, just nodded his head, which was regarded as his approval of the words, then looked at his father Onoki, and asked softly: "Father, what do you think of the meeting? Do you support the kingdom of ghosts or the kingdom of wind?"

According to his thinking, the two should not help each other. Iwagakure did have a honeymoon period with Hinata Ayane in the past, but that was also based on a money transaction, and the two parties would not really become allies because of this.

Whether it is the Kingdom of Wind or the Kingdom of Ghosts, the fight between them has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Earth.

Leaving aside the country of wind, the military power of the ghost country that can defeat the country of wind on the frontal battlefield cannot be underestimated.

"This matter is indeed a bit difficult to handle. For us, it is the best result for both the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Wind to suffer."

Unfortunately, it is too difficult to get to that step.

Moreover, the ninja world has just ended the third ninja world war a few years ago, and the fourth ninja world war broke out one after another, which is not a good thing for Yanyin.

"The problem is that the ghost country can't see through it at all. If the wind country doesn't pay compensation and cede the northwest region, it will fight the wind country to the end. I don't know how true or false this sentence is."

Huang Tu's face was serious.

"That's why we find it tricky. We still have too little exploration of the ghost country's military. Although we have paid attention to it before, because of the ghost country's status as a neutral country and a small country, we don't care too much. It may be too late to stop it at this time."

Onogi said with a worried face.

The Kingdom of Ghosts is a neighboring country of the Land of Earth. Allowing a military power to rise will inevitably cut off part of the interests that originally belonged to the Land of Earth, thus affecting the ecological development of Yanyin Village.

For example, the ninja hiring system.

Because of the need to hide before, the Kingdom of Ghosts will not pay too much attention to the development of this aspect.

But now that the kingdom of ghosts has proved its own strength, the choices of the surrounding small countries are no longer just Yan Yin and Sand Yin, and the ninjas of the kingdom of ghosts are also within the scope of their employment, dividing the cake into three points.

The support of the domestic aristocrats is of course necessary, but the various task rewards accumulated at ordinary times and the development funds obtained are also quite a lot.

Therefore, the rise of the ghost country has become Onoki's most troublesome problem these days.

But on the one hand, he doesn't want to be too hostile to a country with a strong military.

If you can maintain a neutral attitude, you will lose the interests of Hidden Rock Village and Land of Earth.

No matter what you choose, you cannot avoid the interests of Yan Yin and Land of Earth being divided.

Unless the kingdom of ghosts maintains its original state and becomes a neutral country, a small country, it continues to survive in the ninja world.

Now, however, this illusion has been broken.

At the moment when Sand Yin was defeated, the military power of the Oni Kingdom was enough for Yan Yin to pay attention to it, and it cannot be ignored.

"So, tomorrow's meeting..."

Before Huang Tu finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in the room.

is a ninja wearing a mask, knelt down on one knee, and respectfully said to Onogi: "Master Dokage."

"Anbe? What happened?"

Onoki, who was suspended, drifted two steps forward and asked.

"This is a letter sent from the village, saying that there is something important to report to Master Dokage."

Anbe took out a letter from his pocket and handed it out.

Onoki didn't take it, Huang Tu took the initiative to come forward, took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and quickly glanced at it.

Suddenly, Huangtu's face changed drastically, making Onogi realize that something bad happened in the village.

"What's the matter, Huangtu? Did that brat Deidara do something again?"

Huang Tu shook his head, with a solemn face, and said to Onogi: "It would be great if this is the case. Father, something serious is wrong. That fellow Han has disappeared, and the village has been unable to be contacted for several days."

"What did you say... Han is missing!?"

Onoki's expression changed suddenly, he grabbed the letter in Huang Tu's hand, scanned it from beginning to end, and his face suddenly sank.

Han is of great significance to Yanyin Village. He is not only the powerful Jonin in the village, but also the five-tailed Jinzhuriki of Yanyin Village. He is an extremely important strategic weapon.

The disappearance of Jinchuriki is not a trivial matter for a ninja village that can be ignored lightly.

"go back!"

Onogi's voice was low.

"What?"

"Go back immediately, the tailed beast must not be lost, dig three feet into the ground, and find the murderer!"

Onoki gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and the letter paper turned into dust and fell down.

"What about tomorrow's meeting?"

Huang Tu was taken aback.

"I will leave a letter for Mifune, and leave the rest to that puppet old woman to fight for herself. There is only so much I can help her with."

"Yes. I'll get ready."

Huangtu saw that his father Onoki had made up his mind to leave, so he stopped talking.

The five-tailed jinchuriki is missing, and the target of the people behind the scenes is obviously for the tailed beast. Maybe another four-tailed jinchuriki of Iwain will also be targeted.

At times like this, Tu Ying must go back and preside over the overall situation in person.

This incident came at a really bad time. Huang Tu sighed inwardly.
