Chapter 629 Negotiation

As the ship docked at the port, the days-long sea trip finally came to an end.

This time, the task of coordinating the intelligence personnel working inside Konoha is generally considered to be a satisfactory completion.

Although Lei Mingmaru was inadvertently involved in the attack of the Tailed Beast Jade launched after Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's rampage, Shiraishi only sighed slightly for Lei Mingmaru's sacrifice, not even feeling sad, considering the nature of the avatar's regeneration.

On the deck of the third-story building of the ship, it is located relatively close to the fort, and there are no other people approaching here.

Baishi held the railing with both hands, the cool sea breeze was blowing, and the sunshine from the sky dispelled the coolness a bit, making him feel quite comfortable.

After the aircraft carrier battleship docked, Baishi did not disembark immediately, but stayed here, pretending to be waiting for others.

A few minutes later, with the sound of shoes stepping on the deck, Baishi knew that someone was approaching him, and he knew who it was without thinking about the identity of the person.

"Student Asami, have you thought about it clearly? These three days should be enough for you to make up your mind?"

Baishi turned around, leaning his back against the guardrail, and glanced at the person coming.

He was still wearing a white hospital gown, and his face still looked a little pale, as if recovering from a serious illness.

It is Masumi Asami.

Leaving her three days of thinking time, in Baishi's view, it was enough for the other party to consider the pros and cons clearly.

Whether to continue working for me after reviving her fianc...or to part ways according to the original deal.

Shiraishi just quietly waited for Asami Masumi's decision, and did not urge her.

"What you said about the resurrection of the dead...is it true?"

Asami Masumi asked this question with a sullen expression on her face.

There are many forbidden techniques in this world, and bringing the dead back to life, even if it is among the forbidden techniques, it is also a forbidden technique among the forbidden techniques.

If she didn't know Baishi's character, she would have thought it was a joke of the other party.

Even if you only peek into the corner of the cause and effect of life and death, you still know the horror of this forbidden technique, which is definitely beyond the grasp of ordinary ninjas.

"It's absolutely true...I have verified this ability many times. Although the conditions for resurrection are relatively harsh, and there are many restrictions for me, Takeshi Fujisaki is just within the conditions for resurrection, and there will be no problems. I don't think Asami-san should worry too much about this issue."

Baishi replied with a smile, with a faint confidence revealed from the smile on his face, and continued to ask:

"How? This is a once-in-lifetime opportunity. Generally speaking, I will not easily promise such conditions. After all, performing too many reincarnation ninjutsu is also a huge burden for me."

"Should I be honored?"

Asami Masumi raised her eyebrows.

She was not surprised by this restriction.

The reason why forbidden art is forbidden art is because this ability is a double-edged sword.

"No, you have the value that allows me to perform reincarnation. I think keeping you in the kingdom of ghosts can create more wealth than one reincarnation ninjutsu."

Shiraishi chose to tell the truth.

Regarding the cultivation of medical ninjas, it is still one of the top issues that ninja villages in various countries attach importance to.

For such an outstanding medical ninja like Asami Masumi, it is difficult to find a few people in the entire Oni Land. Among the rest of the big ninja villages, they are also high-end talents who have attracted much attention, and they have a pivotal position in the medical ninja industry.

One reincarnation ninjutsu in exchange for decades of working time for the rest of the other party's life, in Shiraishi's view, it is a very cost-effective deal.

This is also the only condition for him to impress the opponent.

Besides that, he didn't know what conditions to adopt so that the other party would continue to serve the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"It's a really good proposal... not only my fianc, but also the rest of my life has been arranged, so I don't need to go back and forth."

Asami Masumi's expressions and eyes are very complex, with an inexplicable color hidden.

Baishi listened quietly, without making any response, and looked directly at the other party, trying to see something from it.

Asami Masumi seemed to have made some kind of important decision, took a deep breath, and a faint bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"If the time goes back to 21 years ago, I would probably agree without hesitation. However, what I love deeply is the man who will die for the will of fire. Similarly, what he loves is also me who was 21 years ago..."

Asami Masumi's eyes were empty, her lips were pursed tightly, her body trembling slightly as if she was being caught in the cold wind.

Baishi fell silent without saying a word.

"To be honest, I don't want the other party to see me now... This ugly, hated and crazy appearance makes me feel sick and ridiculous..."

Lowering her head, looking at her toes, Asami Masumi's tone was very complicated.

Time can change everything, and it can also make people completely unrecognizable and not like themselves.

That man, from beginning to end, practiced his own way and died for his ideal.

After resurrection, how will he view himself now?

Such a question, just imagining it, makes me feel scared.

"Stop thinking about it?"

Baishi sighed, and seemed to sense the determination in the other party's tone.

"Well, no need, thank you for your kindness. I have thought about it carefully, the me 21 years ago is not the same person as I am now...Bringing a soul belonging to the past back to this world will not change anything. So, let this beauty stay in the past forever, and don't tarnish it."

Asami Masumi shook her head mockingly, rejecting Shiraishi's offer.

From the excitement at the beginning, to the complexity, and finally falling into a kind of bewildered fear... She knew that if she refused such a condition, she would suffer a lot in her heart and feel deep regret.

Even so, she decided to give up.

For myself and for my dead fianc, this is the best result.

"Really? What a pity."

"Feel sorry."

"There is no need to apologize to me. This is a deal you want. And, maybe I didn't think enough, what you said is indeed a problem."

Reviving dead relatives is indeed a good thing.

But think about it carefully, such a resurrection may not necessarily develop in a good direction.

Twenty years of time is enough to cause changes like the vicissitudes of life. After all, Asami Masumi is no longer the girl with a bit of innocence and longing for her fianc in the past, but is approaching middle age...

Thinking about it this way, I still take it for granted.

"So, have you thought about where to go after that?"

Brassing the sea breeze, Shiraishi glanced at the sea covered with thin mist.

Asami Masumi's eyes also fell there, she took off her misty glasses, wiped off the mist with a handkerchief, and then showed a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, expressing emotion:

"I don't know, I'm not interested in the disputes among ninja countries. I probably want to find a quiet place, open a small clinic, and spend the rest of my life in a normal way."

"In other words, Senior Asami finally decided to leave, right?"

In the laboratory, Shiraishi put Lei Mingwan's body on the operating table, and Lin's regretful words came from beside him.

"Well, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't force the other party to join the kingdom of ghosts. And Konoha has confirmed the fact of her death, and will not send out pursuit troops in the future. With her ability, even a person can live well."

Shiraishi nodded.

Ninja world is not big or small. In some places, even the kingdom of ghosts and the other five major countries are difficult to get in. It is impossible to spread the intelligence network to every corner.

Asami Masumi is not only a medical ninja, but also a sensory ninja. If she wants to, she can pretend to avoid disputes among ninjas.

In addition to the funds that the other party has accumulated in Konoha over the years, including before leaving, I also gave the other party 500 million taels as a reward for working for the Kingdom of Ghosts these years. In terms of quality of life, this money is enough to ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. She does not need to beg for a living on the underground black market for petty profits, thereby exposing her identity as a ninja.

Even so, Shiraishi still feels regretful.

But if this is the decision made by the other party himself, Shiraishi can only respect and bless it.

I hope that this old classmate who has known each other for nearly 30 years can spend the rest of his life in peace, and don't get involved in the disputes in the ninja world again.

Once intervening in a battle among ninjas, even a powerful Jonin may not be able to guarantee their own safety.

"Didn't you ask where she went to settle?"

"She didn't say anything, and I didn't ask. She took what belonged to her from me, pretended to be a bit, and left directly. I guess she doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone."

Bai Shi picked up the scalpel, skillfully cut open Lei Mingwan's body, tore the flesh, and looked for something inside.

"But it is very difficult to live alone, after all, sometimes troubles will come to you on your own initiative."

There are various dangers in the ninja world, and Lin is still a little worried about whether the other party can survive well alone.

"Don't worry about this problem. I gave her the psychic contract of General Tu. If she encounters a last resort, she will not be stingy to ask for help. But at that time, she wanted to avoid the ninja disputes, and she couldn't avoid it."

Therefore, Baishi not only hopes that the other party will use the psychic contract of the earth general, but on the other hand, Baishi also hopes that she will never use the contract of summoning the earth general in her life.

Because once this contract is used, it means that the other party will be involved in this **** ninja world again.

In this world, there are fewer and fewer people who can communicate with him on an equal footing. He doesn't want this one to have any accidents.

"Okay, let her handle this kind of problem by herself. As outsiders, we can only silently send blessings later. Next is the repair of Lei Mingwan... Although the 'nuclear' has not been damaged, it is not that simple to repair."

Shiraishi took out a heart-like 'core' from Lei Mingwan's body.

This 'nucleus' in Baishi's hand, although very weak, does emit a strong vitality, beating gently, people can hear the 'dongdong' heartbeat slightly.

It proves that Lei Mingwan is not completely dead yet.

It's just the brain and body, which have been severely damaged and are in a scrapped state.

Lin stood on the other side of the operating table, wearing the same white coat as Shiraishi, but the size of the clothes was slightly smaller. The palm of the white glove touched Lei Mingmaru's body, and there was a hint of shock in her eyes.

"The destruction is really thorough, the flesh and blood are basically dead, and a new torso needs to be recreated."

"The nine-tailed beast jade in the four-tailed state is not so easy to bear. Compared with the other tailed beasts, the power of the nine-tailed beast is too abnormal."

Shiraishi sighed.

What's more, the nine tails in Naruto's body are only half of the head.

The other half of the Nine Tails was sealed inside Minato's body.

It is only half head and nine tails with four tails, but there is such a powerful tailed beast...is it worthy of being the strongest tailed beast?

"The broken flesh and blood is useless, so it will be destroyed later. As for the new body, the materials are being transferred from the warehouse, and it will arrive here in about an hour."

"Where's the blueprint? Or should I keep Lei Mingwan in the same shape as before?"

Lin nodded, and began to cut Lei Mingwan's body with a scalpel, her movements were impartial, without any trembling.

Dissecting a corpse is almost as common as eating and drinking for her, without any discomfort.

"Design... You put it this way, Lei Mingwan's appearance is indeed not intimidating. If this is the case, let's make him a more powerful body."

Although the materials used to shape the body of the avatar are very precious and the cost is extremely high, with the various resource reserves of the Ghost Kingdom, it is fully capable of replacing it with Lei Mingwan with a more powerful body.

Due to the lack of funds and materials at the beginning of the design of Lei Mingwan, after shaping Tianyu Girl, I found that only a small half of the materials were left, so I had to cut corners and keep reducing the opponent's figure.

Until it is finished, it is only slightly larger than a domestic cat.

This has always made Shiraishi feel regretful.

According to the original idea, Shiraishi wanted to design Lei Mingmaru as a four-legged beast that could be ridden by an adult...but it turned out to be a thunder beast the size of a house cat.

Thinking of this, Shiraishi put down the scalpel and took off his white gloves.

"Lin, the work here is entrusted to you. It seems that I need to go to the warehouse in person for the material matter."

With a happy mood, Shiraishi turned and left the laboratory.

At the same time, the country of iron.

In the snow castle tightly guarded by thousands of warriors who can use chakra, four shadows from different villages and different countries gathered here.

Liuli, who was negotiating the truce as the ghost country, was also present.

Use these five people to negotiate the truce of the Fourth Ninja World War.

Although the duration of this war was extremely short, it also established a new pattern in the ninja world and had a profound impact on future generations.

If the traditional five major powers are only big powers in the traditional sense, then the ghost country, the victor of this war, can be called a 'superpower'.

Under the absolutely unfavorable situation of one against four, they successfully repelled and defeated the ninja coalition forces of the four countries, and also wiped out the holy land that has been passed down for thousands of yearsMt. Miaomu.

The military strength displayed, it seems that it is no longer possible to use the traditional big country to look at the country of ghosts.

This neutral country, which originally concentrated only witches, began to rise around the third Ninja World, and finally surpassed the big country at an exaggerated speed. For others, even if they can't believe it, they have to admit this fact.

Except for Yun Yin's Lei Ying, almost all the military representatives of the great powers gathered here.

Military representatives of each major country brought at least ten or more Junin and more than a hundred Chunin, scattered inside and outside the castle, to serve as guards for the talks.

As the receptionist of the neutral party, General Mifune of the Iron Country naturally did his part.

As the ninja powerhouse second only to the five shadows, he follows the neutral will of the Iron Kingdom, and is only responsible for guiding this work, and does not directly participate in it.

The samurai do not need to intervene in the ninja disputes.

Only in this way can the safety of the warriors be guaranteed.

This era is no longer dominated by monks, witches, samurai and ninjas.

The number of ninja monks in various countries has dropped sharply in recent years, and the military market has been hollowed out by ninjas.

The big head of the samurai is only the country of iron.

The witches are also concentrated in the country of ghosts, and they are not as widely distributed and densely distributed as ninjas.

In this era, recklessly intervening in ninja disputes will have serious consequences.

The reason why the priestesses of the ghost country dare to do this is not only because of the special nature of their duties, but also because of the military power held by the ghost country now, so that they can not be disturbed by the ninjas and can further exaggerate their influence.

The warriors of the Iron Country can only live in a corner, barely protecting themselves.

In this case, although Mifune has a headache to mediate the disputes between the ninjas of the great powers, on the surface, he still has to show enough patience.

I just hope that this meeting can end quickly. With such a powerful armed force, if you stay in the Iron Country for one more day, Mifune will not feel safe for a day. It is like walking a tightrope, and your nerves continue to be tense.

Military representatives of the five major powers sat down around the round table.

Mifune stood at the side of the round table, did not take a seat, and only participated in the meeting as a witness.

Looking at the five people, they had a verbal confrontation.

Tugage Onogi's complexion was extremely ugly, making people wonder if he was pretending or if he was really driven to a desperate situation.

The one with the same bad face is Luo Sha, Kazekage.

The Kingdom of Ghosts demanded that all the land that Shayin annexed in this war be returned to the Kingdom of Ghosts, and compensation for resources and money should be made.

The same is true for Kirigakure and Konoha, all the losses of the Oni Country will be made up by the defeated side.

Although officially, it was not determined which side was the defeated side, the Ninja Alliance of the Four Kingdoms did not directly yell to admit defeat.

But this negotiation agreement was initiated by them, in order to curb the offensive situation of the Kingdom of Ghosts. Then, according to the current form, the Kingdom of Ghosts will acquiesce to the Ninja Alliance Army of the Four Great Powers as the weak and defeated party. In the negotiation, Liuli, as the negotiator of the ghost country, naturally had to show the victor's aggressive and aggressive attitude.

Such an arrogant and snobbish attitude will hit Ohnoki hard, but he is very angry.

well.

Looking at Liuli who is still in a strong position under the persecution of the four shadows, Mifune can't help but envy such strength while being jealous.

There is no one who does not want their country to be strong.

The reason why Liuli attacked so recklessly during the meeting was that apart from her own formidable strength, it was also because of the kingdom of ghosts standing behind her.

Let her have a slight advantage even in the face of the four shadows, without being constrained by force.

Although force cannot solve all problems, it can definitely solve most of them.

The first round of negotiations did not end until midnight.

Although the parties exchanged a lot of truce conditions through words, in the end, because Liuli was not satisfied with some of the exchange of benefits, he probably thought that only compensation for this little thing would not be able to demonstrate his status as the victor at all, so he hastily let it go.

Standing at the window in the corridor, the outside wind and snow hit the ground recklessly, and the glass of the window was also trembling, making shaking syllables.

Liuli stands here, overlooking the night view outside.

As a country that is all in winter like the Snow Country, the snowy night scenery of the Iron Country is also a must.

But this kind of scenery is only for ninjas.

For those people in remote areas who have problems with food and clothing, they only feel that this kind of scenery is no less than the call of death.

Footsteps came from beside him.

is the general Mifune of the Iron Country.

Liuli looked away from the snowy scene outside the window. She had been standing here since the first round of negotiations ended and did not return to her room immediately.

First, she still has plenty of energy, and second, she needs to think about how to proceed with the second round of negotiations.

After this round of confrontation, she barely figured out the bottom line of conditions for countries to give up their interests.

But it still needs to be carefully considered when it is really finalized and how much compensation will be obtained in the end.

According to her estimation, at least three to four rounds of negotiations are needed before a decision can be made.

But on the surface, the Kingdom of Ghosts still has to adopt an active war attitude, continuously sending troops and combat readiness resources towards the border, making a general attack on all countries, and striving to cut a little more flesh from each country.

Especially on the side of the Land of Earth, there are 3,000 ninjas, 10,000 non-ninja soldiers, nearly 1,000 armored artillery vehicles, and 150 flying ninjas, and Ayane is in command... It gives people a strong posture of annexing the entire Land of Earth and Iwagakure.

If it weren't for this, this Tuying wouldn't have pulled the countries together to reach an armistice agreement so soon.

After all, this Tuying can no longer afford to gamble.

"Your Excellency Mifune, are you planning to be a lobbyist when you come here so late?"

Liuli glanced at Sanfune.

Neutral country is an extremely ambiguous term.

In this ninja world, there is no country that can completely maintain neutrality.

The situation of maintaining neutrality is the case of international stability.

However, with the changes in the international situation in recent years, the status of a neutral country cannot make the high-level officials of the Iron Country feel at ease.

The military power displayed by the ghost country made the iron country also feel afraid.

After all, after this battle, the status of the ghost country has been tacitly regarded as a big country beyond the big country.

Therefore, the reputation of neutrality is retained, but the essence is tilted towards weaker powers, and it is not difficult to understand in itself.

Everything is for better survival.

Just like this war, the Kingdom of Fire wants to curb the development momentum of the Kingdom of Ghosts, all for the sake of its own stable rule.

Mifune was a little embarrassed, but his face remained calm.

He himself did not want to intervene in this negotiation, but the daimyo and other high-level officials of the Iron Country secretly leaned towards the weaker countries, and faintly had the idea of joining the alliance headed by Konoha.

The rise of the kingdom of ghosts is already plundering the arms market of the kingdom of iron. Now that the opponent has gone one step further and defeated the ninja coalition forces of the four major powers, the Iron Country must also make some bad preparations.

"As a mediator, I should not be allowed to intervene in this dispute. However, Your Excellency Liuli, you should also be able to guess the thoughts of our warrior lord. Regarding the power of your country, I don't think any country can remain calm today."

Mifune said with emotion.

In the past, although Konoha was able to fight many with one enemy, it was not dealt with at one time, but resolved one by one at different locations and times.

In addition, Konoha's third Hokage has adopted a policy of appeasement. Therefore, the ninja world structure dominated by the Fire Country and Konoha is generally relatively stable and will not destroy the interests of the original class.

But this time, the kingdom of ghosts is at war with four major powers at the same time, and there is still room to finish Mt. Miaomu... In addition, the kingdom of ghosts has always shown a strong style, which is even worse than the kingdom of thunder and cloud hidden. This is what the countries worry and fear.

On the surface, the ghost country stated that it would not intervene in the internal politics of various countries, but the ideas and military equipment it sent to many small countries were the root problems that caused the internal wars of small countries time and time again.

The country of waves is the first experimental base of the country of ghosts. Generally speaking, it is considered lucky, because it is backed by the country of fire, and it is too far away from the country of ghosts, so remote control is difficult, so it is out of the control of the country of ghosts.

But today's small countries such as the Chi Country have secretly begun to lean towards the Ghost Country, but they have become sharp minions distributed by the Ghost Country.

And the big countries seem to have signs now. For example, the country of water, which has often suppressed domestic riots recently, keeps letting Kirigakure carry out **** suppression of the rioting people, causing chaos.

"We will not make any changes to the basic conditions. If you want to make changes, you can only see the real tricks on the battlefield."

Liuli replied lightly.

"Then to what extent should the compensation be carried out on this basis?"

Mifune wants to know the upper limit of Oni Land.

After all, blindly greedy and insatiable will only make the meeting worse.

"Your Excellency Mifune, you made a mistake."

Ruri stared at Mifune's astonished face.

"The so-called upper limit is something they should consider, not for me to solve. If they firmly believe that they have not failed on the battlefield and want to save their losses and face, we will not hesitate to fight again. It's just that if they fail again this time, it will not be such a simple matter of compensation."

Mifune sighed inwardly.

That's right, it wasn't the kingdom of ghosts that initiated the truce negotiations, but the result of secret negotiations between the kingdom of earth.

While threatening the kingdom of ghosts, they had no choice but to propose an armistice agreement to the kingdom of ghosts, forming a tenuous peace.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. Regarding the second round of negotiations tomorrow, please get them ready."

Leaving this sentence behind, Liuli walked along the corridor towards the resting point where the kingdom of ghosts is located.

Mifune watched the other party leave, frowning in distress, thinking about how to reply to Tsuchikage and others on the weak side.

Judging from the attitude shown by Liuli, it seems that the kingdom of ghosts is actively preparing for the war and wants to further expand the war.

This news is a very bad signal for the Land of Earth.

Once the conflict breaks out again, no one can guess whether the Alliance Army will win in the end, but the Land of Earth will definitely bear the brunt and suffer a devastating blow.
