Chapter 568 Discussion

After the daimyo left, the atmosphere in the room became completely silent.

Tsunade didn't touch the refreshment placed on the table in front of her, and she didn't feel the slightest sense of leisure in tasting tea now.

It's just too bad.

Why did things turn out like this?

Although regret flashed in her heart for a moment, her mood quickly calmed down from the extreme panic.

This is the skill she has learned from the battlefield over the years, and she has accumulated a lot of experience in life and death. This kind of panic will not make her panic.

After calming down, compared to the anger that was generated in my heart before, now it is more of a kind of bewildered loss.

I have a splitting headache.

However, the other three shadows sitting in the seats will not shut up because of her entanglement and distress.

Less than half a minute after the daimyo left, Sidai Kazekage Rasa, who was sitting next to Tsunade, coughed, attracting everyone's attention.

"Since everyone is here, before the official meeting, let me explain to you, Lord Hokage, why we are here."

Considering that Tsunade had just assumed the position of Hokage for less than half a year, and the death of the third Hokage was too sudden, so before the meeting, Luo Sha felt that it was necessary to explain to Tsunade, the new Hokage, why these shadows appeared here without hesitation.

Onogi and Yagura have no objection to this.

Luo Sha said to Tsunade: "This is probably the case, Your Excellency Hokage. In view of the suspicion that the Kingdom of Ghosts sells arms to manipulate the war market, if the country's practices are not restricted now, it may cause more catastrophic problems in the future, so it must be counteracted. Moreover, the most important thing is that the Kingdom of Ghosts is instigating the people at the bottom of the world and launching attacks on the aristocratic areas of the place. Within the borders of the country, even the country of water, which is far away overseas, has been affected by this part. I think your Excellency Mizukage has the most say on this point."

Saying that, Luo Sha pointed the words at Yakura.

Yakura's face remained calm, but a gloomy glint flashed in his eyes, obviously his heart was far from being as calm as it appeared on the surface.

"Your Majesty Kazekage is right. The origin of the disaster is temporarily unverifiable. However, since last year, many areas in the Kingdom of Water have been harassed by criminals, which has affected the national security of the Kingdom of Water. These criminals can basically be summarized as organized by the people within the Kingdom of Water. The specific leader and scale are unknown...Although the fighting force is very weak, the organization is very strong. I think behind these people, there must be an unusual behind-the-scenes mastermind."

Although Yakura didn't say who the mastermind behind the remote control of these popular organizations was, everyone present could hear the implication in Yagura's words that the remoter behind the scenes was none other than the kingdom of ghosts.

This country is no longer satisfied with controlling the war market between small countries and small countries, and has begun to use its influence to radiate its own ruling power to the surrounding big countries.

And there are certain reasons for choosing the country of water.

The country of water is located overseas. Even though commercial and trade routes have been opened up in recent years, the atmosphere of the country is still closed in many cases.

Therefore, it will become more difficult for continental countries to obtain information about the Land of Water, and the information they get will also have a serious lag.

Based on this judgment, the kingdom of ghosts chose the kingdom of water as their experimental base, which is a very advanced strategic method.

The answer is obvious. Although the Kingdom of Ghosts did not achieve specific success, it did not fail either, because the success drew the attention of Wuyin Village and caused unstable turmoil within the Kingdom of Water.

It is said that many small nobles were uprooted during the riots. For a while, many people felt that everyone was in danger and dared not go out.

If Hidden Wu Village hadn't dispatched ninja troops in time to suppress these riots, things might have gotten out of hand.

Yakura's words clearly made everyone aware of the danger of the ghost country to their big countries and Ninja Village.

If the kingdom of ghosts succeeds in making the people in the country fight against the aristocratic group headed by the daimyo, it will inevitably affect the ruling power of the aristocratic group.

Once the interests of the aristocratic group cannot be guaranteed, the benefits allocated to Ninja Village will decrease, and even Ninja Village will lose the soil for survival.

Therefore, the practice of the Oni Nation is not only shaking the interests of the aristocratic group of the big country, but also shaking the interests of Ninja Village, which provides military protection for the aristocratic group of the big country.

In terms of the same interests, Ninja Village and the noble group have a very close binding relationship.

It can be said that everyone is prosperous, and everyone is lost.

"...So, in order to prevent possible disasters, should we take the lead in deploying the kingdom of ghosts?"

Tsunade expressed such thoughts after listening to Rasa and Yagura's words.

Given the judgment of these two people, it's not that she can't understand the worries in their hearts.

After all, no matter how much she explained, she couldn't cover up the kingdom of ghosts, and indeed she did such a thing.

Otherwise, the two shadows, Luo Sha and Yakura, would not appear here.

But if Shiraishi knew what happened here, how would he feel?

In this era, whether it is a war era or a peace era, many people will die.

It's as if she helped Raikage undo the ninjutsu of Kenzoku in the past, but Raikage turned back and slaughtered the village of Sugi who hired Xuanzaru to chase and kill him.

For a person like Raikage, justice lies in his fist.

And the justice of Raikage is the justice that Tsunade Chacha can't agree with.

"Your Excellency Hokage, this is not a possibility, but a certainty. The footsteps of the kingdom of ghosts, the ambition in the heart, will not stop at this stage."

Luo Sha refuted Tsunade's words.

Now that things are up to now, it will not help to avoid it.

Because the kingdom of ghosts is using its own power to severely shake the foundation of the traditional five major powers, this alone is enough for them to give a reason to launch a war against the kingdom of ghosts.

Before a huge threat is formed, it is the safest way to kill this threat in the cradle as early as possible.

"I heard that Chiba Shiraishi was a student of yours, Princess Tsunade, during Konoha's time... You will not face your students and start to become soft-hearted, right?"

Onoki smiled at this time, his old tone was full of lessons and sarcasm, as if a wise man from above was in charge of everything.

"I don't dare to bear this kind of words, Grandpa Liangliang."

Not to be outdone, Tsunade shot at Onogi with sharp eyes, not giving an inch.

"Hehe, who knows what you think in your heart. After all, the old man just saw that your face was not quite right... Speaking of which, there were rumors among you Konoha that when Orochimaru defected, your mentor, the Third Hokage, also let him go because he was merciful and couldn't bear to kill Orochimaru. Will this kind of history repeat itself for you, a student?"

Onoki, which pot is not open and which pot to lift.

Tsunade frowned, and was about to refute, Luo Sha intervened, and said helplessly: "Okay, you two, please don't quarrel over such trivial matters. I believe that Hokage-dono will not be such a person who doesn't distinguish between public and private. Dokage-dono, please have more trust in Hokage-dono."

"That is to say, Your Excellency Tsuchikage, after all, you are also an old senior in the ninja world. There is no need to fight with us young people. Be careful at the end of the day."

Yakura's voice sounded from the side.

Onogi snorted softly, and became dissatisfied with Yagura.

He really doesn't like Konoha, or even Kirigakure.

According to the information they received from the Anbu of Iwagakure Village, Konoha S-class rebel ninja Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Kisame, the S-class rebel ninja of Wugakure Village, took advantage of the diversion of Iwagakure Village's attention during the Chunin Exam last year, and successfully stole their Iwagakure Village's Renzhuriki, which has not been recovered yet.

Therefore, when he met Konoha's Hokage and Kirigakure's Water Shadow, he naturally didn't have a good face to show them.

In Ohnoki's view, this is a manifestation of the incompetence of these two villages for not doing enough to pursue and kill their own village.

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things. Then, if you have no objections, Princess Tsunade, then we will officially enter the discussion. The time we stay here is limited, and there is only one day left to discuss. We must agree on all the detailed procedures before the end of the time, so as not to make mistakes."

Onoki made a final decision and moved the topic forward.

Rasa and Yagura also looked at Tsunade, watching her decision.

The expression on Tsunade's face remained the same, but he was secretly sighing in his heart.

Really tricky.

Judging from the current situation, Onogi, Rasa, and Yakura have obviously joined the so-called 'Ghost Slayer Alliance'.

The pace of the daimyos of the four countries must also be consistent.

That is to say, although her suggestion occupies a certain proportion, it is unlikely to affect the overall situation.

In other words, her attitude is that of passive acceptance.

After all, the third Hokage who was in charge of Konoha also agreed to join this alliance.

In addition to Thunder Country and Yun Yin, big countries join the fourth.

It can be said that more than half of the power of the ninja world has been concentrated.

The destructive power of this alliance is unimaginable.

"In that case, let's get started."

Although her heart is as bitter as it is, and there is a feeling of aggrieved being deceived, but in this case, it doesn't matter whether she agrees or not.

Because, while she was away from Konoha, the advisory group in the village must have already taken action.

In this war, her order does not mean absolute, it must be fought if not fought, it is just a matter of time.

Placed on the coffee table in the office, a heavy tool similar to a radio, one after another, diffused hoarse words from the speaker, but the source of the sound could be vaguely discerned.

Shiraishi, Liuli, and Ayane, the three of them sat around the radio, didn't say a word on the sofa, only had shallow breathing sounds, other than that, they were all quietly listening to the sound coming from the radio.

The people who made the voices were three men and one woman.

Every sentence, every word they uttered was heard by the three of them.

Maybe the content in it is very explosive, and it can be said to be dangerous content for the kingdom of ghosts, but the three of them have no surprise on their faces and treat it with a normal attitude.

just quietly listening.

The content of the meeting on the radio lasted about three hours.

Some of them argued, some proposed, some agreed, and there was a few minutes of break time...then a plan was scribbled out.

It is not difficult to imagine that there will be more important content in the follow-up.

But hearing this is enough.

Shiraishi pressed the button and turned off the radio.

"The Land of Earth, whose position was not very clear, seems to really plan to join."

Originally, only the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Wind, and the Kingdom of Water joined this alliance.

It is not surprising that the first two great powers united together, and the country of water also boarded this boat because of Yakura's secret arrangement, coincidence and inevitable nature.

Formed the situation of the Triple Alliance.

However, the intervention of the Land of Earth is equivalent to adding more weight to the weight of the Three Kingdoms, causing the balance to temporarily tilt towards it.

"There is no way that there will be no successors, but that old man Onogi probably doesn't want to be the first person to eat crabs."

Ayane laughed.

Onoki has the nickname of two-day scale, so one can imagine the degree of cunning of the other party.

Perhaps the actions of the Oni Land really made the Land of Earth shaken, but until the last moment, she did not believe that Ohnoki would take all of Yanyin Village and throw himself into this war.

Having no successors is Onoki's biggest weakness.

If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't still occupy Tuying's position at the age of over seventy.

Even the Third Hokage has been troubled by this for many years, and Ohnoki has been troubled for a longer time than the Third Hokage, and there is no hope yet.

What he wants is nothing more than a stable internal and external environment, so that he has enough time to select talents in the village.

To be more precise, Master Tuying is more likely to want to take a free ride through this alliance and see if he can get enough benefits from it.

"Whether Yan Yin joins or not is irrelevant. Our real purpose is not to win these villages."

Ruri lowered her legs and spoke like this.

"That's right, the risk of going to war with four villages at the same time is too great. After all, the comprehensive military strength of these ninja villages is now stronger than during the third ninja world war."

Of course, except Shayin.

Because of the war a few years ago, Sha Yin suffered a heavy loss.

While Konoha's overall power has risen, the number of ninjas at the top has declined.

The fourth Hokage died in the line of duty, the third Hokage died in the line of duty, and Orochimaru left, causing the ninja trees on the top of Konoha to drop sharply.

The top ninjas on the bright side are only Tsunade and Jiraiya.

After more than ten years of recovery and expansion of the army, although the ninjas at the top are still lacking, the backbone force, coupled with the blasting troops who are good at blasting battles, has increased dramatically in scale.

In general, like Konoha, its comprehensive strength has risen significantly, but it lacks the top ninja masters.

But even so, the power formed by a large number of Junin and Zhongnin is enough to cause unimaginable damage.

"Next, it's time for them to plan their attack."

Shiraishi said.

"At what point do you think they will choose to attack?"

Liuli looked at Baishi and asked.

"April or May sooner. If slower, it may be after June or July. Let's see what Tsunade-sensei thinks."

After all, the fire country daimyo is the initiator and holds a lot of power to speak. And Tsunade is the Hokage of Konoha Village. Although there is no way to change the pattern of the Four Kingdoms against the Oni Country, with the power of Hokage, it can also change some things locally.

However, when he thought that he would inevitably stand in a hostile position with his respected mentor in the end, Baishi felt a little disappointed.

But soon, this sense of loss and reluctance disappeared from Baishi's heart.

Some are just as cold as ice.

Leaving from the conference room where the filmmakers were, although the meeting lasted only a short three hours, in Tsunade's eyes, it seemed as long and tormented as three centuries.

Although she seldom speaks at the meeting, the remaining three shadows are all actively participating in the content of the meeting, making up for the deficiencies in the plan.

Regarding Tsunade's silence, none of them chose to speak out, and anyone could see that she was not very interested.

This is inevitable, because in her heart, she has always been unwilling to have such an alliance.

But alas, she couldn't stop this from happening.

What she did, it seemed that only by not participating, not speaking, and watching with cold eyes, watching the war deployment against the kingdom of ghosts slowly move forward, could make her feel better.

Apart from this, her Hokage seems to have no other purpose.

"Sorry, Hokage-sama."

Leaving the conference room, got a little rest time.

And Tsunade himself needs a little time to think calmly.

Lu Jiu, who was following behind, suddenly apologized.

"Why do you have to apologize?"

Tsunade stopped in his tracks, stood in the corridor, and asked without looking back.

Because before this, I didn't

"Didn't you tell me that you were in the village? In fact, I had a bad premonition at that time. It's just that I didn't expect that things would evolve to this point."

"But I'm hiding it anyway."

"This has nothing to do with you. After all, there is indeed a special karmic relationship between Chiba Shiraishi and me. It is normal for the daimyo, the consultant, and even Jiraiya to be concerned about this."

Although he said so, there was still a bit of resentment in Tsunade's tone.

She is very clear about the reasons why these people concealed themselves, in order to force her to make a decision in a general way, without giving her enough room to maneuver.

Even when she ascended the Hokage, this news had to be strictly blocked so as not to affect her Hokage succession ceremony.

This caused her to be a little bit stuck, a dilemma.

Before she became the fifth Hokage, when the third Hokage was still alive, this plan had already been laid out in advance.

Her objection or not will not affect the overall situation.

Was sent to the army.

was also manipulated by these people.

Tsunade looked up at the sky and let out a long breath.

"What an eventful time..."

For the first time, she felt that the position of Hokage was so difficult to do.
