Chapter 362 Contact

Konoha, Naruto.

"Master Naruto, this is the alliance agreement submitted by Sand Yin."

Kaiichi Yamanaka put the agreement in his hand on the desk in front of Hirazan. The agreement stated the cooperation between Konoha and Sand Yin. Generally speaking, he wanted to unite and jointly target the kingdom of ghosts.

At the bottom of the agreement, there is also Fengying's autographed signature, and the format is quite formal.

"Thanks for your hard work, Haiyi."

Not long after returning from Damingfu, Hirazan felt a little tired, but he still held on. The alliance with Sand Yin is a very important diplomacy for Konoha at present.

The daimyo of the country of wind is contacted by the daimyo of the country of fire.

The contact work of Sand Yin was naturally handed over to Konoha, who is also from Ninja Village.

"How is your mental state, Master Fengying?"

Hizan glanced at the agreement, put it down, and asked Kazekage about his physical condition.

"When I saw it, my spirit seemed to have improved a lot. But besides that, Kazekage-sama also wrote a letter and asked me to hand it over to you, Hokage-sama."

As he spoke, Haiyi took out an unopened letter from his arms and handed it to Ri Zhan.

Hi Zhan took the letter curiously, opened it, read it roughly, and fell into deep thought.

"Master Hokage, did something happen?"

Hai saw Ri Zhan after reading the letter, immediately fell into deep thought and couldn't help but wonder.

"It's nothing, Kazekage hopes to exchange sealing techniques with Konoha, and he will also provide equivalent secret technique materials for our Konoha research."

Hirizhan glanced at Hai Yi and said.

"Sealing technique?"

"Yes."

"So that's it, it's for keeping the crane."

Hai remembered something.

"Watch the crane?"

"Yes, during the trip to Sand Hidden this time, Ichio Shokaku from Sand Hidden Village briefly stormed through, and some buildings in Sand Hidden Village were damaged by Shukaku. Kazekage wants to negotiate the sealing technique with Konoha, hoping to strengthen the sealing effect on Shukaku."

Hai Yi explained.

"I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen during the time I went to Sand Hidden?"

Ri Zhan was quite surprised.

The tailed beast ran wild, which is not a good thing.

If you don't take good precautions, destroying buildings is nothing, but if you cause a lot of casualties, it can make Ninja village hurt.

However, compared to Konoha's Nine Tails, Ichio Shrine Crane's power is relatively weak. With the current strength of Sand Hidden Village, it should not be a worry.

This also means that Hidden Sand Village lacks the sealing technology for tailed beasts.

After all, the amount of chakra of the tailed beast is quite large, if it is a general sealing technique, it is difficult to seal the tailed beast.

Currently in the ninja world, the sealing technique that is most threatening to tailed beasts is the sealing technique passed down from the Uzumaki clan, which can effectively seal the tailed beasts, and the strongest tailed beast Nine Tails is no exception.

"So, what is Hokage-sama going to do? Do you want to make this kind of deal with Kazekage?"

Hai asked.

"According to my point of view, part of it can be given. The sealing technique of the Uzumaki family is powerful. If all of them are given to Shayin, there may be new threats in the future."

Hi Zhan pondered for a moment, and then expressed his thoughts.

At present, Sagakushi has signed an alliance agreement with Konoha, and it is inconvenient for Hirazan to refuse Kazekage's private request.

However, Hirazan does not intend to trade the too profound Uzumaki Clan sealing technique with Kazekage, and only selects a part of it in exchange for the secret technique research materials of Hidden Sand Village.

Originally, Sagakushi and Oni Nation could also do this kind of transaction. Oni Nation not only has the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, but also the remnants of the Uzumaki clan.

But given the current bad relationship between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Ghosts, Kazekage must have no face to make such a deal with the Kingdom of Ghosts.

hai nodded, this is the best.

Neither did he reject Kazekage's deal, which made him look ugly, but he also considered future events to prevent Sand Yin from using the sealing technique obtained from Konoha to target Konoha Village.

Although it is an alliance, the necessary precautions must be taken.

In the final analysis, the reason for uniting with Sand Yin at this moment is because they have a common enemy.

"Hai Yi, go down, take a good rest in the village for a while, you don't need to go out to perform tasks."

"yes."

hai straightened his body, turned and left the office.

Not long after Hai Yi left, an Anbu wearing an animal mask suddenly appeared in the office, standing in front of the desk, standing upright.

"Tianzang?"

"It's me, Hokage-sama."

"Where's Kakashi? Didn't he come in person?"

"Captain Kakashi is teaching Uchiha Sasuke, and Anbu is temporarily managed by our four sub-captains."

Tianzang answered meticulously.

"Didn't anything special happen in the village during the time I left?"

Ri Zhan means something.

Tianzang thought about it for a while, and replied: "No, the two consultants are working very dutifully and have not exceeded their own authority. As for the root, it is still the same. They sealed off the base and put spells around it. Even the supercilious eyes of the Hyuga clan can't see the secrets inside."

"To keep it secret to such an extent, it seems that the root cause of the conspiracy is not small."

"Do you want to send someone to test it?"

"No, the village needs to be stable now, and it is not appropriate to conflict with the roots."

As long as the root is not like Orochimaru, who secretly uses people from his own village to conduct human experiments, Hirizhan has no choice but to turn a blind eye to these.

Now is not the time to have a conflict with Genbu. Anyway, Danzo has already gone to the front line. If he raids Genbu base at this time, it is likely to trigger a battle within Konoha.

Moreover, the root at this time is no longer the root of the past.

Compared with before the third Ninja World War, the power of the roots has grown by more than one lap.

According to Anbu's investigation, the root has absorbed many outstanding talents from the Konoha ninja clan in recent years. Even the Yamanaka clan and the Nara clan who have made good friends with the Sarutobi clan have taken the initiative to enter the root and listen to Danzo's dispatch.

No matter when, there will always be militant radicals in the village, who gather under Danzo.

With the development of the international situation that is unfavorable to Konoha, this trend is becoming more and more obvious.

After Tian hid, Ri Zhan had a rare moment of rest, took a puff from the cigarette stick, and looked out the window.

"I have done everything that needs to be done. From now on, I can only do my best and obey the destiny. I hope things will not move towards the worst outcome."

Hi Zhan said so, his eyes showed worry, and his heart was not as calm as the surface.

The sun was setting, and the orange afterglow shone into the study.

Ichihime sorted out all kinds of information and intelligence documents sent from the military headquarters of the ghost country, and was also surprised by the changing international environment today.

According to her original intention, it is enough to drive out the isolated island merchant alliance stationed in the territory of Bozhi. After all, there are too many interests involved behind the merchant alliance. If it is too deep, it will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles.

However, what she didn't expect was that her old man united the three great powers of Thunder, Earth, and Water, and directly took down the old nest of the Merchants Alliance on the isolated island in one go.

Don't talk about the Land of Fire in advance, she is not prepared at all.

By the time he reacts, the matter is a foregone conclusion.

The Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind are no longer dissatisfied with the behavior of the Kingdom of Ghosts, but they must admit this fact.

"Looking for an opportunity to kill with one blow is really like the old man's usual style. In this way, he used me as a bait."

Yiji shook her head helplessly.

If before the action, she was still puzzled by the standby instructions issued by the headquarters, then now it seems that she has become the target to be pushed to the front stage, the best candidate to attract the attention of the daimyo of the Fire Nation.

Because her status is high enough.

It will make people think that she is the highest-level military commander of the Kingdom of Ghosts stationed in the Kingdom of Waves, thus ignoring the danger of the military headquarters of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

This is of course. Unlike military organizations like Ninja Village, the Oni Land military has extremely close ties with various branches. Thanks to the maturity of communication technology, it basically communicates with the headquarters every two to three days. Even if it is thousands of miles away, Ichihime can quickly get first-hand information from the headquarters.

In addition, the military's mode of action is also different from that of Ninja Village, and the sudden attack will indeed make the enemy of Fire Nation daimyo feel at a loss.

The army of the ghost country not only represents the military power of the ghost country, but also the full support of the government.

and the fire country daimyo who only enjoys political power, the energies mastered by the two are completely different.

This is the drawback of the one country one village system.

The military and politics are seriously divided, and they basically work independently. Only when they encounter major difficulties will they think of joining forces.

This is a disadvantage in both system and communication technology. It is not at all surprising that the Nation of Fire reacted so slowly.

The times are different, and the technology is also different from the past. If the five major countries deal with the ghost country in a traditional way, unless more than two major countries abandon all prejudices and jointly target, it may bring huge troubles to the ghost country. On the contrary, they will only be defeated one by one by the kingdom of ghosts.

"The plan for the Kingdom of Waves should be considered stable. However, the remnants of the Merchant Alliance still need to find time to clean up."

There was a cold light in Yiji's eyes.

A while ago, the seblocking dam in Area D of the Wave Kingdom was blown up, causing extensive damage to the factory construction bases in Area D and the fields.

Although the isolated island headquarters has been destroyed, not all businessmen involved in the case have been arrested.

Especially on the side of the Kingdom of Waves, the moment the isolated island was destroyed, these businessmen hid themselves and disappeared from the islands of the Kingdom of Waves without a trace.

The isolated island was destroyed, and this group of businessmen were already homeless. They must have a strong sense of revenge against countries such as the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Thunder.

Because of the four-nation alliance, they destroyed their alliance and divided up the huge wealth they had collected for decades. It can be said that it is an endless hatred.

And the businessmen who were not arrested and brought to justice were wanted by the whole ninja world.

In other words, this group of businessmen has become street rats at this moment, and they have become shady existences in the ninja world.

Finding out the stronghold of this group of fugitive businessmen and annihilating them is also the task assigned to her by the headquarters.

At this time, the door of the study suddenly rang.

"Miss, Mr. Kesha is here."

A ninja from the Oni Nation came in, followed by a young man with a cross scar on his chin, who looked about twenty years old.

"Okay, I know."

Yiji stared fixedly at the man standing at the door, with curiosity in his eyes.

This is the candidate Kaduo recommended to her. In fact, she should have contacted him earlier.

It's just that I have been busy with too many things recently, and I didn't have time to meet this talent recommended by Kaduo until today.

Junin of the Demon Country nodded to Kaisha, then quietly exited the study room, closing the door gently.

"You are Ms. Ichihime, I heard Mr. Dazna mention you. When we first met, I am Kaisha, a fisherman from other places, and I should be considered half a native of Namiya."

Kaisha walked to the front of Yiji's desk without being humble, and bowed slightly to Yiji.

In the land of waves, Ichihime has a mixed reputation.

Some people think that her kindness is the gospel of the bottom-level migrant workers in the Kingdom of Waves, because her arrival has indeed brought new changes to the bottom-level workers in the Kingdom of Waves. Even if the changes are not much, their lives have been slightly improved.

But some people think that she came to the Kingdom of Waves to control the Kingdom of Waves in order to achieve her shady goals.

"I've heard about you. There was an accident at the seblocking dam that day. You were very brave. Ordinary people would not dare to jump into such a torrent. Even a ninja would be in danger."

Ichihime's impression of Kaisha is that he is an adult man with a sense of responsibility and courage beyond ordinary people.

"Because I often fish, my water skills are better."

Kesha scratched his head.

"Indeed, you have a strong fishy smell, which can be smelled even here."

Yiji smiled.

"Uh...sorry."

Kaisha also reacted after hearing what Ichiji said. He did have a strong fishy smell on his body, and his smile seemed a little restrained.

"It doesn't matter. I have always admired people who don't pray for God to give them rain and dew, and can have enough food and clothing. It is also the most important spirit of human beings in my opinion. It is very difficult for a person with a strong self-personality like you to appear in the bottom."

Yiji was not stingy with her praise.

Although she knew that the workers' cooperatives had a good response among the people in the country of Nami, there were also people who became lazy because of too much favor. Kazuki knew this kind of thing very well.

These people are used to resignation. The so-called thunder and rain are all favors, and they are thoughts engraved in their bones.

But Kaisha is different. He didn't feel complacent because of some favors, but used his own ability to help others, and he didn't expect others to reciprocate. He kept his original intention.

Such a person, even if he is not a ninja, deserves Kazuhime's respect.

Ning is not bent, he is generous, he is a very standard heroic character in fairy tales.

Although such heroes usually end badly.

Because it is too easy to provoke the oppression of the powerful, he becomes a victim of rebellion against fate, and pays the price of his life for justice.

"Really? It seems that Ms. Ichihime has investigated me."

After thinking about it for a while, Kaisha understood what was going on.

"Not only pay attention to you, I have sent people to pay attention to all the members who join the workers' cooperatives. However, among these people, you are the most prominent. This is Kaduo's judgment, and he recommended you to me."

Yiji told the truth, and did not intend to deceive Kaisha in this regard.

After all, with so many people and so many pieces of information, no matter how hard she tried alone, it was impossible for her to handle it.

Unless you use the Shadow Clone Technique, it is easy to let yourself fall into fatigue and pass out from exhaustion.

Properly delegating power to the lower levels can make things more efficient. If all affairs are backlogged on one person, even a **** may be exhausted on the desk, and the efficiency of handling things will also deteriorate.

As long as it's not a crime, Yi Ji will only turn a blind eye to some of the borderline practices of the people below, and won't bother.

For example, Cardo likes to use his position to steal money. As long as he doesn't get dizzy about major matters, Yi Ji can let him do this.

"Miss Ji came to see me..."

Kaisha's heart moved.

Sure enough, as he had guessed, the Workers-Ministry Cooperative established by the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association in the Ghost Country is by no means an organization in the general sense, nor is it a gift of small favors, but a certain purpose.

Or... Kaisha couldn't help touching the book on his waist.

"On the Promoting Significance of Emancipating the Mind for the Development of Individual and Ninja World Productivity".

Propagating the ideas in this book may be what the Workers-Minist Cooperatives really want. Those favors are just a cover on the surface to deceive people.

Why?

Such a question immediately appeared in Kaisha's mind.

Seeing the change in Kaisha's face, Ichiji was quite surprised, smiled and said: "It seems that you already know something, it's amazing, it seems that Kado is right, you are indeed different from the other people who have received favors. They only see the superficial favors, but forget the inner core. But it's not their fault, it's also very important to have enough food."

Kazuki did not condemn those members of the cooperative who ignored the existence of the book.

It can even be said that that is the pursuit of most people, which is in line with practical significance.

If everyone can think independently like Kaisha and explore the true meaning behind it, then the ninja world will not be so chaotic.

People like Kaisha are a minority after all.

Lead the majority with the thinking of the minority and gather the power of the majority.

Whether it is force or thought, the role of the group cannot be ignored, but the huge role of the individual cannot be completely ignored.

Individuals lead the collective in order to better unite the power of the group. Because it is difficult for a group to condense spontaneously, and it needs someone to lead it to condense.

This is domination.

"Yeah?"

Kaisha suddenly understood, but there were more things he didn't understand.

"Yes. Also, I'd like to hear what your thoughts are about that book. For example, do you feel any doubts."

Ichihime looked at Kaisha expectantly.

She's not going to test Kesha's commentary skills, that doesn't make any sense.

What she wants is for Kesha to find out a key question from it.

Ichihime will judge Kaisha's excellence based on the answer to this question.

Just knowing is not enough.

"Doubt? If you want to say doubt, there is indeed a little bit."

Kesha thought about it and decided to answer.

After all, if he remembers correctly, the author of this book is Kazuki's father.

The military affairs minister of the ghost country Chiba Shiraishi.

In the eyes of discerning people, it doesn't make sense for him to conceal it.

If he can get the support of the ghost country, he can use it to better improve this poor country.

Yiji sat there quietly without speaking, waiting for Kaisha's answer.

Looking into Ichihime's eyes, Kaisha paused for a moment and then answered: That is, in the book, although it explains the so-called ideological liberation, the important causal relationship between productivity and production means for individuals and the ninja world, and the construction of private schools, education is one of the important means of emancipating the mind, but it does not explain what is the important prerequisite for the emancipation of the mind.

That is to say, there is a lack of foundation, what needs to be done, what kind of soil is needed, all of which are not mentioned.

This is the question he has been thinking about after reading it many times.

What kind of prerequisites are needed to emancipate the mind?

But he believed that Yiji must know.

Even if Kazuki doesn't know, the person who wrote this book must know the answer.

Know what kind of prerequisites are needed to emancipate the mind, and what kind of living soil is needed.

After listening to Yiji, she was more satisfied with Kaisha's answer, and said with a smile: "Although it's not entirely correct, but you can see this, which proves that you have read this book many times carefully, otherwise it would be impossible to have such doubts. Let me ask you a question, what form do you think the human-dominated world should exist? Should we continue to maintain the status quo, or should we create a new pattern?"

Kaisha choked slightly.

He seems to have grasped something, but also seems to have grasped nothing.

In what form should a human-dominated world exist?

Such a question is too lofty, and Kaisha has never thought about it.

"What, are you stumped?"

"Yes, Miss Ichihime's question is too jumpy."

Kesa smiled wryly.

"That's because you haven't seen the essence of this world. When you understand it, you will know what you are going to do."

Ichihime said so.

Kaisha frowned and thought, unable to understand what Kazuki meant by saying these words.

In fact, he didn't know what purpose Yi Ji had come to find her.

However, there should be nothing worth plotting about him.

"I can't answer your doubts. But, I think this country will definitely give you the so-called answer."

Yi Ji has something to say.

"This country... you mean the country of Waves?"

"That's right. As long as you don't succumb to fate, you will understand. Moreover, this time will not be too far away from you. People like you can't leave the center of this vortex unless they leave the Kingdom of Waves as soon as possible."

Yiji took a deep look at Kaisha, as if expecting something.

She had already predicted that the future of this man named Kaisha would be accompanied by countless **** storms.
