Chapter 343 Threat

To be honest, from the perspective of Konoha Ninja, Asma should not allow herself to listen to the fallacies and heresies that Shiraishi is about to say from her mouth. What goes against the will of fire is itself the will represented by Shiraishi.

However, for Sarutobi Asma, it is very necessary to know something other than the will of fire.

Because Shiraishi is right, they are all rebels.

It's just that Shiraishi prepared and practiced a different path from Konoha.

And he is still at the stage of theory and thinking, and he has not come up with the answer he wants, so he has been confused.

He knew that Baishi couldn't be allowed to continue talking like this. Once he obeyed the other party's words, it meant that he had almost no way to turn back.

This man is his sworn enemy who killed his brother and sister-in-law.

He told himself this in his heart, but when he wanted to reject the other party, Asma opened his mouth and moved his lips, but found that he couldn't say a word.

In the end, he still said: "I don't need to know the answer from Rebel for this kind of thing."

Compared with a temporary tactical retreat, Asma's current appearance is more like fleeing in a panic.

He was very afraid that the rebellious words Baishi would say next, the so-called answer, might subvert his imagination.

So, fleeing is Asma's only choice now.

Uncertain, not only panic, but also inexplicable expectation.

Torn between Konoha Ninja and Rebellion.

Looking at the back of Asma running away, it seems that he intends to use this to escape the so-called reality. Regarding this, Shiraishi just shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

It is very troublesome to get in touch with a person like Asma who is full of rebellious thoughts.

Even the third Hokage, who is the biological father, spent so many years and tried various methods, but failed to make Asma change his mind. Shiraishi did not dare to hope that the other party could really calm down and listen to the arrangements of this stranger.

Anyway, there is still a so-called brother-sister-in-law feud between them.

With such a gap, it is not an easy task to convince Asma.

Just like Tsunade, it takes time to prove. If they can't let them pray for change from the bottom of their hearts, then even if they are drawn into their own camp, they will rebel sooner or later and turn back.

"Although the current Konoha is very boring, the ninja belonging to Konoha is not as boring as imagined."

Probably because I see too many things that are submissive, so Asma's rebellious ideas are particularly conspicuous among Konoha.

Maybe the second Hokage Senju, who had passed away at the time, also saw a little sign.

After all, he is the founder of the ninja school organization, which weakens the ninja, including his own thousand-armed clan, and improves the status of civilians.

Although the reforms are not thorough enough, resulting in Konoha's ninja clan being too conservative in this regard, the other party has clearly noticed the power from another class and focuses on development.

He is mean to the Uchiha clan, and he is mean to the Senju clan he belongs to.

This kind of talent is a real political figure. If necessary, the interests of one's own family can also be used to reduce. Targeting the Uchiha family is only out of political needs, not simply to avenge personal revenge.

The only pity is that the other party died at an inopportune time.

The first ninja world war changed many patterns in the ninja world.

Konoha also completely fell from the altar, becoming no longer high above.

Of course, Asma's rebellion is not the same as the path practiced by the second generation of Hokage.

Asma denies the Naruto system that dominates Ninja Village.

One country, one village, just like the literal meaning, is a combination of one country and one village, and it is not a whole from the beginning to the end.

The path practiced by the Fire Nation and the path practiced by Konoha have never been the same thing.

United because of interests.

The trend of interests is like the mercenary system that ninjas need to survive.

This is the core essence of one country, one village. The nature of mercenaries has not changed since the Warring States Period.

Although Asma did not understand the principle, he clearly felt the irrationality of the one country, one village system.

This irrationality is also the origin of Asma's rebellion.

Therefore, Asma's escape is not an important matter in Shiraishi's view.

If he can continue to persist in his unyielding faith, then, without Baishi speaking, he will come back sooner or later and ask questions instead of simply evading the facts.

If Asma's will is not so strong, Shiraishi will also treat it as if he has never said anything, and will not have any intersection with the other party, and he can deal with it as an enemy in the future.

No matter what you do, Shiraishi will not lose anything.

"What a horrible guy..."

Asma, who returned to the hotel, found that her back was covered in cold sweat, and she was panting and taking a deep breath.

Recalling Baishi's inspiring words, luckily he escaped in time just now. If he didn't do that, the current self might be bewitched.

In any case, he is Konoha's ninja. Although he disagrees with Hokage in concept, he never wants to do such a thing as betrayal.

In fact, there is no need for him to accept the temptation of rebellious ninja, no matter how much the other party does in this country, it will never change the fact that the other party is a rebellious ninja.

"I am afraid of rebellious speech, really..."

Asma shook her head with a wry smile, but did not continue.

He didn't know what the so-called answer Baishi said was, but it was because he didn't know that he felt scared.

If you know what the other party wants to express, then you don't feel so terrible.

The danger of this kind of person is not only in strength, but also in thought.

After all, Asma knows who she is now, and she can be called a different kind in Konoha's environment.

Thinking about it in another place can also give you a general understanding of the situation Shiraishi is facing. It's just that the stage where the other party is located may be higher, not limited to a ninja village or a country.

The kingdom of ghosts began to intervene in the affairs of the small country, which proved that the other party was planning something.

If that is also a way of practicing the way, Asma felt faintly uneasy.

What Shiraishi pursues may exceed everyone's imagination.

"It looks like I can't stay in this country any longer..."

Asma's original plan was to stay in this country for a while, and then leave the ghost country after the Fire Nation Mission and the Ghost Nation negotiated their return.

But now I have to change the plan of action.

I must leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Just avoid the other party and calm down for a while.

Asma thinks so.

Time will make you forget everything here.

"It's really rare, as the fourth generation of Mizukage, do you still have the leisure to come to my place for a walk at this time?"

During the time of continuing to argue with the missions of the five major countries, the military also had a special guest here.

Kirikakushi fourth generation Mizukage Goji Yakura.

Working hand in hand with Shiraishi... No, it should be the guy with the community of destiny.

Although the two faced each other at the Five Kages Conference and their relationship was very unharmonious, it was just a show for others to see.

Another example is price gouging, and there is always a need for someone to help. Otherwise, relying on Baishi alone, there is no way to get what he wants from the Kingdom of Wind so easily.

"Don't talk about it, now I, the water shadow, exist in name only."

Not knowing if this is a complaint, Yakura sat on the sofa opposite Shiraishi and sighed deeply.

"how?"

Baishi raised his eyebrows quite unexpectedly.

"Now Terumi Mei started to get in touch with various matters of managing the village, and got the support of most of the elders. In a blink of an eye, those people betrayed me, the fourth Mizukage. I haven't abdicated yet."

Yakura said with a wry smile.

"Whoever told you to make a bad start, if those elders support you, they are afraid that one day their heads will be lost."

Shiraishi said so.

"The Blood Mist Sect must be eradicated. If the influence of the Blood Mist is not completely eliminated, then it will be meaningless for me to be the fourth generation of Mizukage."

"As long as you can see it."

Do you want to see it?

Only after sitting in that position, can you know the beauty of power.

Yakura is no exception.

In the past three generations of Mizukage, although he also helped the third generation of Mizukage to handle government affairs, but that and Mizukage's identity must be two things.

But Yagura's resignation is inevitable.

Anyway, dishonorable means means dishonorable means. In addition, the veterans of Wuyin Village, headed by Yuanshi, did not agree with Yakura's coup at that time. It was only because there was no better candidate to become the fourth Mizukage at that time.

It was a helpless move for Yagura to take the position.

Now that there is Terumi Mei, who is capable of dealing with government affairs well, and the Mizukage Yakura is naturally useless.

However, in Shiraishi's view, the so-called betrayal is just Yagura's simple complaint.

Anyway, Yakura has also run Wuyin Village for so many years, and there are many diehards following him.

The existing Seven Ninja Swordsmen are basically Yakura's original subordinates, or ninjas like Kisame who were recruited by Yakura himself.

The task of handing over power between the two generations of water shadows is not something that can be done in one or two years.

If the situation like Konoha III Hokage and Fourth Hokage is formed, things will be a bit embarrassing.

"As an old friend, I don't know how to comfort me."

Yakura seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Isn't this what you have already arranged? Besides, in the past few years, your Mizukage position should not be lost. If you rush to the position, the elders of Yuanshi probably don't worry about Terumi Mei."

Shiraishi said so.

"Indeed, she is still a little too tender in dealing with government affairs now, and some of my subordinates are arrogant. If they want to hand over to Terumi Mei, I need to do it myself."

After all, he doesn't want to disperse Mizukage's power like Konoha, forming multiple huge regimes, and making the interior a mess.

The experience of the Blood Mist faction is the best warning.

"That way, you'll have time to turn your energy on Akatsuki."

Shiraishi nodded.

As for the housework in Kirigakure Village, just let Kirigakure handle it by himself.

If Terumi Mei and Yagura Masamune disagree, I still need to worry about it.

However, Terumi Mei is also an insider about the cooperation with the Oni Nation. The current Oni Nation cannot do without Kirigakure as an ally. Similarly, Kirigakure Village, which has fallen out with the Daming Mansion in the Water Country, cannot do without the assistance of the Oni Nation.

As long as the community of destiny of the two parties can continue, it makes no difference to Shiraishi whether Yagura is Mizukage or Terumimei is Mizukage.

"I know, Akatsuki has already captured a tailed beast, and next, he will attack more tailed beasts."

But Yakura doesn't need to worry about this for now.

Riki seldom left the village in the first place, and now the civil strife in the Rain Land has drawn Akatsuki's attention. Even if he finds the tail beast, he needs a detailed plan.

If there is no careful plan, facing Kirigakure Village or Ninja Village of the same level, relying on the strength of those core members alone, even if Jinzhuriki is caught, it will be difficult to escape from the next pursuit.

Besides, his Mizukage is a Jinchuriki, and he is one of the few perfect Jinchurikis in the ninja world.

Want to launch an action against him, considering not only Mizukage's own strength, but also a large number of Jonin and Anbu guards.

Those guards are enough for Xiao's core members to eat a pot.

"By that time, Kisame should have heard a lot of things."

"Onikisame? I haven't contacted him yet. He just needs to help us at the right time. By the way, how do you plan to deal with the matter in the land of waves?"

This is Yakura's main purpose.

As Mizukage, he naturally wouldn't come to Shiraishi to complain about the power dispute within Kirigakure.

Terumi Mei was originally his designated heir, and strictly speaking, this was not a power struggle.

It's just a transfer of power. This is something I have already discussed with Yuan Shi and other Wuyin elders.

Otherwise, it would not be so smooth sailing for me to become Mizukage these years, making things difficult is inevitable.

"Has the daimyo of the country of water noticed it?"

In order to maintain the superficial union, only a few people know about the break between Kirigakure and the Daimyo of the Water Country.

In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between Kirigakure and the Daimyo of the Water Country is still as close as ever.

"It's hard not to pay attention. Although I don't have a good relationship with that side, I can't help myself in many cases. After all, I still have to do some superficial work. To what extent are you going to do it?"

Yakura asked straight to the point.

Although the Land of Waves is closer to the Land of Fire, it is also sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water.

Therefore, it is impossible for the daimyo of the land of water not to pay attention to the matter of the land of waves.

"To what extent? Looking at the follow-up development, it is an important experimental field, and it is also used to test the country of fire, and even all countries with the daimyo system."

"Is it like the Rain Country now?"

Although wars often broke out in small ninja countries, the reason for the outbreaks of wars basically came from the behind-the-scenes manipulation of big countries.

"It may be a little different, but even if you fail, you can learn from experience. The important thing is to ambush an army there, and if necessary, it can become a sharp knife that pierces the heart of the Fire Nation."

Yakura nodded, even if the wave country plan is unsuccessful, it can be used to deceive people and cover up the second purpose.

Not only the country of ghosts, Wuyin Village is also laying out the layout of the surrounding small countries, planting hidden seeds, and launching operations when necessary.

"Speaking of which, there happens to be a piece of delicious cake right now, do you want to share it?"

Shiraishi asked with a meaningful smile.

Yakura raised his eyebrows, not understanding the meaning of Shiraishi's words.

"The merchant alliance on the isolated island, you know it. They intend to act against the Kingdom of Bo. They have been dominated by their own greed and have forgotten their duty as merchants, so they are targeted by the Kingdom of Fire. Instead of cheapening the Kingdom of Fire in the end, let us act first and use their wealth to enrich ourselves."

"The group of lawless businessmen? I've heard about it, but in this way, the Ghost Kingdom will become the target of public criticism again, right?"

Yakura is not afraid of the so-called isolated island. Although the merchant alliance there has a large number of ninjas under its command, compared with Wuyin Village, the ninjas there are simply vulnerable.

This kind of gangster-like merchant organization is also very poor in discipline. At most, it can bully a small country without too strong military power.

Compared to this, Yakura is more worried about the actions of the Oni no Kuni, which will cause a lot of trouble.

It's not a problem to deal with those businessmen. The problem is that they have too much wealth, and wanting to split it between the two, Yagura thinks it's a bit unrealistic.

"I didn't say that the two families share the food, but the four families share the food."

A smile flashed in Shiraishi's eyes.

"Four families? Besides us, who else?"

"The Land of Earth and the Land of Thunder. At the same time, I will secretly contact Earth Shadow and Raikage to let them participate in the plan. The Land of Wind and the Land of Fire are excluded."

Shiraishi's smile was a bit nasty.

Yakura thought about it for a while, then smiled and said: "It's really like your style. At this time, I have to count them."

With the greedy personality of a big country, once it grasps the huge handle of the Isolated Island Merchants Alliance, it will never remain indifferent.

They became greedy and more terrifying than businessmen.

Moreover, the country of wind and the country of fire are deliberately excluded, which will further split the alliance of the five major countries. In this way, the status of the country of ghosts in the next international environment will be more stable.

"If the Kingdom of Rain is not too weak now, I would like to involve the Kingdom of Rain, and then find something for the Kingdom of Fire to avoid troubles for me all day long. Unfortunately, even if I want to do this, the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder will not allow it."

Because of unequal qualifications.

The Five Great Nations recognize the force of the Ghost Country, but they will not recognize the strength of the Rain Country.

Therefore, it is a bit inappropriate to involve the Kingdom of Rain to share food on the isolated island. It will make the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder think that the Kingdom of Ghosts is underestimating them.

Regarding this, Shiraishi can only express regret.

"Did anything happen here after I left?"

Ichihime returned to the cruise ship at the port of Namuni, and asked one of his subordinates, Jonin, if there was anything worthy of attention during the period when he temporarily left Namuni.

"On the surface, it is very calm, but in recent days, some unknown people have sneaked into the country of Bo. The exact number has not been counted, but it is estimated that there are at least thirty people."

Jonin of the Oni Country thought for a moment and answered.

"Ninja?"

Ichihime asked.

Junin of the Demon Country nodded solemnly.

If it is just ordinary people smuggling in, it is not a problem worthy of attention.

But at this time, with so many ninjas secretly sneaking into the territory of the wave country, their actions are questionable.

The purpose of those people is likely to come for the kingdom of ghosts.

It is not known which side it is, and it is still under investigation.

Ichihime nodded, indicating that she understood.

Which side are the ninjas who sneaked into the Kingdom of Waves? Based on the information she got from the isolated island weapons dealer Oyajo, she can probably guess.

"Those people don't need to worry about it for the time being. Our focus now is to let the workers in Dazna build the factory as soon as possible."

"The construction materials have already started to be transported to the country of Waves, and the construction can be officially started the day after tomorrow."

Hearing Kazuki asking about those construction workers, Oni no Kokami answered concisely.

"At that time, the number of supervisors in the past will double again, and the hidden enemy will not confront us head-on, but will definitely use other aspects to hold back our steps."

"yes."

After enduring it on the Oni no Kokuni, Kazuhime finally breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed the space between his swollen eyebrows.

I've been busy with the affairs of the land of waves and the isolated island these days, and I haven't had a good rest. Before starting work on Dazna, I'd better relax myself.

After all, after the factory officially starts, it will not always be so easy.

At that time, it was the real trouble.

"dad."

Dazna's home, daughter Tsunami screamed in panic.

Dazner, who was reading a newspaper with a newspaper in the living room, put down the newspaper in his hand and looked in the direction where Tsunami was running. Seeing the terrified look on the other side, he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, Tsunami?"

Because he found a new job, Dazner has been in a good mood these days.

Moreover, the number of workers recruited also met the requirements of the employer Yiji.

Although the contract cannot be broken halfway, after all, the contract has already been signed, and each person has one copy, but Yiji's offer made them unable to refuse, so they didn't care about the contract.

Not only will there be a high salary for work, but three meals a day will also be provided on the construction site, which greatly saves the expenses of many workers.

Many workers are grateful to Yiji for giving them this job to support their families, and also grateful to Dazner who introduced this job to them.

It's not an exaggeration to describe Dazna's current mood as being proud.

Tsunami didn't say anything, but took out something similar to a business card and placed it in front of Dazna.

Dazna took it, the front was a piece of white with nothing on it, and then flipped to the reverse side, there was a sentence clearly reflected in Dazna's eyes, and the chill that hit his face made Dazna's body stiffen.

You are not allowed to start work the day after tomorrow, otherwise your whole family will be killed!

Every font is as blood-red as blood, as if gathering an astonishing murderous aura, which makes people shudder after seeing it.

Cold sweat dripped down Dazner's face. If it was just a prank, it would be fine. The key is the cold and murderous look emanating from the font, which made him, an adult, feel terrified, and knew that he was being targeted by a very terrifying existence.

Ninjas!

"Dad, what should we do now?"

Tsunami knew that Dazna had officially accepted the commission of the lady from the merchant family in the Oni Land, even the contract was signed in black and white, but she didn't expect that before the official start of work, someone would send a threatening letter to tell her father Dazna not to start work.

This made Tsunami very worried, always feeling that their family was involved in something terrible, and they were still the center of the whirlpool.

Dazna was slightly silent. To be honest, this was the first time he encountered such a thing.

I don't say anything in fear, but I also understand that an ordinary person like myself hasn't done anything earth-shattering, so he won't be targeted by an existence like a ninja.

Now that I am being targeted by a ninja, and the visitor is not kind, then the problem is definitely not on my side, the person behind the scenes is targeting that Miss Ichihime.

"I can't make up my mind on this matter alone, so I can only go to Miss Yiji to discuss it."

Dazna sighed, stood up and said.

"Why don't you give up this commission, Dad?"

Tsunami asked tentatively.

Compared with income, she is more concerned about Dazner's life safety.

"The employment contract has been signed, and if you go back on it now, you will have to pay liquidated damages."

Dazner said with a wry smile, shaking his head. Although Tsunami's proposal was good, he was unable to pay the liquidated damages written in the contract.

Don't look at that Ms. Yiji who is very talkative now. Once these workers break the contract, whether it is to maintain their dignity or to protect their own interests, they will show another terrifying expression to these workers.

"Tsunami, don't worry too much. Ms. Ichihime has many powerful ninjas under her command. The situation may not be the worst."

Dazner could only comfort himself with these words.

I knew that such a troublesome thing would happen, so I shouldn't have accepted this job commission in the first place.

It's just that I regret it now, it's too late.

Therefore, at this moment, Dazna can only bite the bullet and look for Yiji for help, looking for a way to break the situation.
