Chapter 383 Sannin's interception

"Where did you go just now, Itachi?"

There was a voice calling Itachi to stop from behind.

Itachi turned his head and saw a muscular old man with a big sword and shark muscles on his back. He had a shark-like face and looked strange. He was the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Wuyin Village, and now he is the S-class defected ninja Kisame Kisame from Wuyin Village.

The charge was to assassinate the Daimyo of the Water Country, and he was a well-known criminal in the world.

"I just went out to get some water to drink."

Itachi stared at Kisame, and answered calmly.

"Really? You left without saying a word. I thought you were leaving the organization."

Kisame said half-jokingly.

"How could it be? If I leave the organization, I will only die."

Itachi replied flatly, making it impossible to see the fluctuations in his heart.

"This is the best way. We are all people who have betrayed our village and our companions. We can only survive in this dark world if we hug each other for warmth. I don't want any barriers between us."

Kisame said this, but itachi didn't know how sincere the words were.

Although Kisame seems to be a kind person who cares about his companions, Itachi understands that the ninjas who join this organization are not a group of good people.

If you regard caring as kindness, you will definitely die without bones.

Hypocrisy, cunning, everyone is hiding their true colors and living in organizations. This is the same as him.

Because of this, the people in this organization are not trustworthy.

I am going to this organization as a 'hostage', trusting others will only make myself die faster.

"Okay, let's go to a nearby town to have a rest. I seem to have a bit of a cold. I really shouldn't come out to work in this kind of ghostly weather."

Kisame complained.

Normally, the Xiao organization doesn't have any specific tasks. It just allows the team members to move freely, and the superiors will not interfere with the team members' affairs. However, in order to prevent betrayal and information leakage, the team members are not allowed to act alone. The relationship between Kisame and Itachi is not only a partner who fights side by side, but also a person who monitors each other.

Members like Itachi who entered the Akatsuki organization with special missions received even more attention from their superiors.

The leader, Nagato, also secretly gave Kisame some hints. Usually, everyone should pay attention to Itachi's actions, and try not to let the other party out of his field of vision.

"Okay. I have some cold medicine here, you can take it."

Itachi took out a box of cold medicine from the ninja bag and threw it to Kisame.

Kisame caught it quickly and smiled at Itachi.

"Thank you, Itachi, for saving me the money to buy medicine."

The salary of the organization is still very good, and if you want to study ninjutsu, it will also provide a special location, and even provide ninjutsu information.

Even if Anbu from Wuyin Village is chasing him, Bai Jue will send a message in advance to let him avoid it.

If it weren't for the important tasks on his shoulders, Guixie felt that this organization would be a good place for the elderly.

"Let's go, it's dark now, I don't want to spend the night in this kind of place."

Itachi coughed.

"Eh? Have you caught a cold too?"

Kisame said in surprise.

Itachi shook his head, his face turned pale, he didn't say anything, he just took out another box of medicine from the ninja bag, took a pill by mouth, and left alone.

"Really, if you are not in good health, don't run around. Anyway, there is no next step instruction now, you can also relax properly, and don't force yourself to work like this."

Kisame showed concern about Itachi's body.

Relaxing? Itachi felt that such a word was too far away from him, and even felt very strange.

From the age of four, he was brought to the battlefield by his father Uchiha Fugaku, where he saw **** on earth.

In order to change this chaotic ninja world, I put all my energy on cultivation.

When a teammate died, he opened Sharingan, and no one cared about his inner pain. His father was just happy that he opened Sharingan.

Pain and confusion occupied his childhood for a while.

Afterwards, Nebe, Anbe, Uchiha, Konoha, etc. were entangled in grievances and grudges, which made him mentally and physically exhausted.

Shisui's death was obviously caused by Danzo, but for the sake of Konoha's peace, he was powerless to avenge his best friend. He had to obey Danzo's order and try his best to maintain the peace of the village.

Finally joined the Xiao organization, I thought it would be a little easier, but the result is still intrigue, walking on thin ice. The organization is full of a group of dangerous rebellious fugitives, who can't be careless for a moment.

Especially Orochimaru, a ninja like Madara, always eyeing Konoha.

I have no power to change all this.

So, Itachi didn't take what Kisame said about 'relax'.

In his life, there is only fighting left, and now is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Once he relaxes, Konoha's situation will become very dangerous.

Seeing Itachi didn't listen to his words, Kisame sighed helplessly.

It's really not a good sign for a sick man to be a teammate.

A kid who is not yet an adult, has been doing things with such a heavy heart. Sooner or later, his body will be completely crushed.

Kisame has learned some medical knowledge, so such a result can be expected.

But, who was he going out to see in the organization just now? Kisame followed behind Itachi, guessing on his own.

So, on the snow, the two walked with their own ghosts.

"Invite us to go to the country of rain for talks... These are the original words brought by the envoy of the country of ghosts."

After receiving the envoys from the Kingdom of Ghosts, Hirizan returned to the conference room, gathered with Daimyo from the Kingdom of Fire and others, and explained the intention of the envoys from the Kingdom of Demons to come to the Kingdom of Fire.

"National talks in the Rain Country?"

Lu Jiu frowned, as if he was considering the intention.

"Yes, the kingdom of ghosts stated that this matter started and ended with the kingdom of rain. It also shows that the kingdom of ghosts has no intention of launching a war with the kingdom of fire. It just wants to use this incident to re-establish the order of the ninja world."

Hi Zhan sighed.

The Nation of Fire is the top of the five major nations. Even if the ninja world wants to re-establish order, it should be proposed by the Nation of Fire, not by other countries.

Although the people present were angry, there was nothing they could do.

It is an indisputable fact that the strength of Fire Nation and Konoha has been greatly weakened since the third Ninja World War.

This ninja world speaks with strength. The reason why the ghost country dares to persecute the fire country is not only because of its own powerful strength, but also binds itself with the thunder country.

As a veteran military power, the Kingdom of Thunder's ambition is not weaker than that of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and even has stronger intentions towards the Kingdom of Fire.

It is said that the country of rain is talking, but the things discussed may have nothing to do with the country of rain.

In this turmoil, the Country of Rain is just a chess piece, not the person who plays it.

What matters is not the attitude of the Land of Rain, but the attitudes of the Land of Ghosts and the Land of Thunder.

Menacing! Only these four words can be used to describe it.

"So, do you want to agree to go to the Land of Rain to negotiate?"

Turning to bed, Xiaochun asked in a low voice.

From the bottom of her heart, she expected to negotiate.

Although Konoha is ready for a full-scale war, it is best to avoid such things as war.

Mito Menyan was silent, because he really couldn't hold back his face.

The last time I participated in the Five Kages talks, because the initiators were Kazekage and the daimyo of the country of the wind, the ones who lost face the most were Kazekage and the daimyo of the country of the wind. Although the country of fire and Konoha lost face, it is acceptable.

But this time is obviously different.

The Land of Rain talks led by the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Thunder were obviously aimed at the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha.

Agree to the invitation for the meeting, the Land of Rain is a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, it's easy to get in and hard to get out.

If you don't agree to the invitation to talk, no one will know what the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Thunder will do next.

"Promise them, we will go to the Land of Rain to participate in the talks."

The fire country daimyo raised his head and said a word.

"My lord?"

Rizan and the others looked at the fire country daimyo in amazement.

The fire country daimyo didn't explain, but looked at Shikajiu, and asked: "Mr. Shikaku, you think so too, right?"

Lu Jiu smiled wryly and nodded.

"What's the meaning?"

The three of them are somewhat unknown.

Lu Jiu coughed and explained: "The truth is actually very simple, because this time the Fire Nation and Konoha do not lose face, and even weaken their own international influence to elevate the status of the Ghost Nation and the Thunder Nation. Then, the alliance between the Ghost Nation and the Thunder Nation will continue, and will continue to target the Fire Nation and Konoha in the future. On the contrary, if the two countries are at this time, no, as long as the Thunder Nation achieves their political demands, there is no need to unite with the Ghost Nation. The alliance between the two countries will naturally occur at the meeting Dismiss after the discussion."

The three of them frowned and thought about it.

The fire country daimyo nodded, agreeing with Lu Jiu's words.

"The Kingdom of Fire and Konoha are weakened, and the Kingdom of Thunder will naturally not deliberately target us in the future. On the contrary, we are equivalent to selling a favor to them. You may wish to think about it, after the Kingdom of Thunder achieves its own political demands, who will be the next target to be wary of?"

Lu Jiu awakened the dreamer with a single word.

The three of them suddenly came over.

Even Koharu and Mito Menyan couldn't help giving Lu Jiu a high look.

Lujiu's words hope that the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha will temporarily give up some of their interests, breaking the alliance between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Thunder.

At that time, the Fire Nation, which temporarily poses no threat to the Thunder Nation, will not be targeted by the Thunder Nation.

The land of water and the land of earth are relatively conservative, and have little desire for external expansion. Although the land of wind has been invading the resources of other countries, due to the war last year, it was severely punished by the land of ghosts, and its vitality was severely injured. In a short time, it will not become the target of the land of thunder.

Then, there is only one country left for the Kingdom of Thunder to be wary ofthe Kingdom of Ghosts.

Whether it is the country of ghosts' extreme thirst for military affairs, or the arms sold to Yuyin Village, which shined on the previous battlefield, it shows that the country of ghosts has the same ambition to fight for hegemony as the country of thunder.

Potentially more dangerous than Fire Country and Konoha.

Today, the Kingdom of Thunder can assist the Kingdom of Ghosts to suppress the Kingdom of Fire. Then, tomorrow, the Kingdom of Thunder will turn its finger on the Kingdom of Ghosts because of the military strength of the Kingdom of Ghosts becoming stronger.

To be honest, it is meaningless to talk about the grievances and grievances that have been entangled for decades between countries.

Interests, international status, international influence and other demands are the root of conflicts between countries.

The Nation of Fire and the Nation of Thunder have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, and the proportion of hatred in it is really insignificant.

"The Nation of Fire and Konoha now need a stable environment for development. If we give up our position as the top five powers, it will give us a few more years of peace to develop our national strength. I think this is the best policy."

To be the leader of the five great powers is indeed an honor, but this burden can sometimes be too heavy.

When this honor completely became a national burden, Lu Jiu's proposal was to give it up in order to gain more time for development.

Luo Jiu also thinks that this is the best way to deal with the Land of Fire and Konoha.

The current Kingdom of Fire and Konoha are not qualified to hold such an honor, so they should give up as soon as possible and concentrate on improving their national strength. The details of Konoha and the Kingdom of Fire are still there, so it is still uncertain who will have the last laugh in the future.

Taking retreat as advance, forbearance for development.

is the core theme suggested by Lu Jiu.

The fire country daimyo has already agreed, so Shikahisa turned his attention to Hirazan.

The Land of Fire's Daming House and Konoha are two different political systems. The Fire Nation daimyo can only represent the aristocratic class of the Fire Nation, and Konoha's suggestion is to see Hokage speak.

Hizan smoked his cigarette, then exhaled deeply, and glanced at the Daimyo of the Land of Fire opposite him.

He knew that giving up these honors would be a huge blow to this daimyo.

Although she is very free and easy on the surface, she must be bitter in her heart.

After sitting as the chief of the five major powers for so many years, he suddenly gave up his position, and no one would be willing to change it.

This is impossible.

The four generations of Hokage passed away, and the Konoha dragons had no leader.

Yunyin launched a war, causing Konoha to fall into the quagmire of war again.

Finally escaped, the Uchiha clan coup, Konoha cut off his arm.

Tossing back and forth, the real leader among the leaves is either very young and inexperienced, or old and not as energetic as before, or has left the village, out of sight and out of mind.

Facing the menacing coalition forces of the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Thunder, even if the Kingdom of Wind is united, the winning rate is pitiful.

"I agree."

Ri Zhan said this, and several other people present were relieved.

"In the future, Daming Mansion will give Muye Village more resources and double it. Sun Zhan, don't disappoint me."

The fire country daimyo looked serious.

Ri Zhan nodded solemnly.

He knows the meaning of the daimyo, vigorously develops the military, like the country of thunder, spares no effort to expand the armaments for future needs.

"At the same time, I will also issue a tax reduction order in the country, so that the people of the country of ghosts will not have any opportunities to take advantage of in the country of fire!"

A stern look flashed in the eyes of the daimyo of the land of fire.

Hi Zhan and the others were stunned. This was the first time they had seen the Fire Nation daimyo who was so serious.

February 13.

is the day to officially set off for talks in the Land of Rain.

On the endless silver-white land, three figures rushed forward quickly.

It has not yet entered the border of the Kingdom of Rain, and has just left the border of the Kingdom of Bears and arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Birds.

On the way here, Shiraishi sneezed more than once, rubbed his reddened nose, then took out cold medicine from his pocket and swallowed it.

"It's really unlucky to catch a cold at this time."

Looking at a world covered in silver, with light snow floating in the sky, the biting cold is constantly oppressing. Even though I put on warm clothes and a scarf around my neck, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Regarding this, Shiraishi could only complain softly.

Although the cold can only be said to be a small problem, and it will not have any impact on the battle, but the body does not feel well anyway.

"It's so ridiculous. As a medical ninja, I actually let myself catch a cold. It seems to have happened to me when I was in Konoha before, but I still don't have a long memory."

Hearing Baishi twitching his nose from time to time, Liuli who was following beside him couldn't help but sneer.

"Ah, that was a long time ago. I didn't expect that I would catch a cold after waking up in the morning. Besides, it is not uncommon for a medical ninja to catch a cold. Even Tsunade-sensei has had a cold before."

Shiraishi justified his cold behavior.

"I can't help it, it may be because Mr. Baishi was busy late last night. I don't have a cold, but my waist seems to have flashed a little bit, and I still feel a little sore."

Ayane explained with a smile on the side, while lightly hitting her waist with her fist.

It's just that her justification has brought Liuli a colder and biting chill than ice and snow.

Shiraishi sped up his speed slightly, pretending he didn't hear anything, and didn't want to get involved in the terrifying fight between these two women.

And the topic of the waist is flashed, it seems that his waist is also a little flashed. Men are born to be hard workers.

Soon, the three of them entered the border town of Bird Country, where Shiraishi took Liuli and Ayane to rest for a while.

It is still noon, but the sun is completely invisible, and there is still snow on the ground except for snow.

After entering the town, the situation improved slightly.

Entered a restaurant, ordered a rich hot meal, and prepared to go on the road after eating and drinking.

The Land of Rain talks will determine the direction of the international situation in the next few years. Shiraishi also attaches great importance to this talk.

Not only to fulfill the agreement between the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Rain, but also to prepare for the splitting of the relationship between the five major countries.

The Five Kages Conference last year could only be said to be a small test of skill. It initially disintegrated the alliance between the five major powers and caused them to split.

This time, Shiraishi intends to further expose the contradictions of the five major nations, and compete against each other to gain time for the development of the ghost kingdom, and also to prepare for the Fourth Ninja World War.

Of course, this is the best result, and Shiraishi is not sure whether it will be possible.

But at least the two countries, the Nation of Fire and the Nation of Thunder, cannot be allowed to cooperate.

Although the Kingdom of Fire has been weakened, its roots are still there.

The Kingdom of Thunder has recovered from the trauma of the Third Ninja World War, and secretly dispatches Jnin every year to collect forbidden and secret techniques in the Ninja World.

Baishi estimates that the military power of the Kingdom of Thunder has surpassed that of the Kingdom of Fire.

The alliance of other countries is not within the scope of Shiraishi's fear. Only the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder are very important issues.

One has the strongest background of a traditional power, and the other has the most powerful military expansion ambition of a traditional power.

If these two countries reached a cooperation agreement, it would not be a good thing for the Kingdom of Ghosts.

After the talks, there is a need to continue to split the relationship between the two countries.

At least for now, the Nation of Fire and the Nation of Thunder cannot be united.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect Fire Nation and Konoha to really agree to come and talk. Logically speaking, they wouldn't agree so easily."

Ayane sighed while eating hot food.

"It's not surprising. This is not eight or nine years ago when Konoha Fourth Hokage first came to power. Under the dual pressure of external struggles and internal consumption, Konoha's power has declined very seriously. The management of many departments has fallen into a state of rigidity, which is no longer the same as before. Naturally, the tone of the external world will not appear too tough."

Liuli felt that Ayane was making too much fuss.

The current international situation is significantly different from the past.

Nation of Fire and Konoha will definitely not implement the development policy according to the set of strategies in the past

That's why I agreed to this meeting.

Even the Uchiha clan, which has a longer inheritance, has experienced many ups and downs.

Time is the most terrifying force in this world.

In the earliest history of the Uchiha clan, the prestige of the clan even surpassed the national collective, and the power of the clan was used to dominate the will of the entire country.

As a result, in the Warring States Period, the Uchiha clan could only be reduced to mercenary thugs from various countries.

In terms of historical inheritance, it is not as good as the Fire Country and Konoha of the Uchiha clan. Although it is surprising that they declined at the peak, it is not a puzzling thing.

"It is very difficult to give up one's own pride. However, it is this kind of Konoha that has the meaning of targeting. If they calm down, we will be the ones who are unlucky."

Ayane smiled.

For her, the best enemy in this world is a dead enemy.

"Okay, the meal is almost done, let's start on the road."

As he spoke, Shiraishi sneezed again.

This cold, it seems that it will not get better in a short time.

Liuli and Ayane didn't object, and Ayane, who always eats a lot, was only half full. Under Shiraishi's urging, she quickly set off on the road.

Leaving the small town of the Country of Birds, the three of Shiraishi went all the way to the Country of Rain.

I don't know how long it has passed, the color of the sky looks darker than before, the black clouds have become extremely thick, the temperature is also continuing to drop, and the air is filled with cold humidity.

The three of Baishi knew that the three of them were very close to the Land of Rain, and only there had the same abnormal weather as the Land of Snow.

One with perennial snow and one with perennial rain. However, compared to the Land of Rain, which is a place where great powers fight, the Land of Snow is located in a corner of the ninja world, and has enjoyed a long period of peace.

"We are going to the border of the Kingdom of Rain, according to the agreement, I..."

In the dull atmosphere, Ayane suddenly spoke, and when she was about to do something, she suddenly saw Shiraishi, who was leading the way, stop and glanced at the rock on one side.

Liuli and Ayane's expressions darkened slightly, and they realized something, they were being followed.

"Blind eyes!"

Ayane opened her white eyes, penetrated the obstruction of the rock, and looked directly behind the rock.

Baishi pressed his brows helplessly, and said in the direction of the rock: "Come out, I thought it was just a chance encounter on the road, so I didn't make a sound before. Looking at it now, that's not the case."

After Baishi finished speaking, a frog jumped out from behind the rock and stood in front of the three of Baishi.

I saw the frog's mouth wide open, first an arm stretched out from it, and then the whole person emerged from the frog's small body, standing not far in front of Baishi and the others, just blocking the way of the three of them.

"So, what are you planning to do when you appear in front of us at this time, Master Ziraiya?"

Bai Shi called out the identity of the person in the expected tone.

The person who came here is Jiraiya, one of Konoha Sannin.
