Chapter 757 Sunset

"Long time no see, Master Shiraishi."

Lin worked very fast. Within ten minutes, she brought the pharmacist No Naoyu and pharmacist Dou who had returned to the ghost country to the laboratory to meet Shiraishi.

"It's true that I haven't seen you for a while. Judging by your complexion, the trip during this time should be well planned."

Shiraishi nodded, took a quick glance at Nonoyu's young and gentle face, and said.

If you don't know what Nonoyu is like, you might think that she is a witch who is harmless to humans and animals.

But unfortunately, some things cannot be escaped once experienced.

She was absorbed into the roots of Konoha since she was a child. She has learned all kinds of espionage and medical knowledge, and she has long been used to disguising her original face. This is almost an instinct engraved in her body, and has nothing to do with her own will.

It's like a ninja who is often active on the battlefield. Once he returns to a peaceful life and stops working as a ninja, it will take a long time to adapt to daily life, and more or less there will be some war stress reactions.

Nano Naiyu is used to the life of a spy, even if he doesn't have to work as a spy now, he is still good at disguising.

This seems to be the case with the pharmacist following behind her.

Although the two are not related by blood, they stand together like a pair of real mother and child, carved out of the same mold.

"It should be okay." Nonaiyu smiled slightly. Apart from the smile, there was nothing else to be seen on her expression: "Then, Lord Baishi specially asked me and Dou to come here at this time. Do you have something to ask?"

No Naoyu didn't think that his boss, Baishi, would ask him to come over for no reason.

Now the situation in the ninja world is very unstable. The Akatsuki organization has been exposed to the foreground, which has caused panic in many countries.

A change has come.

In this chaotic situation, Shiraishi, as the military leader of the ghost country, has no easy burden on him.

"There are some things to deal with, the main purpose is to ask your adopted son some questions."

Shiraishi did not deny it, and stated his purpose for summoning the two of them.

Dou raised his eyebrows when he heard it. As for Baishi, what he learned was limited to the information on paper, but such things as paper information often have some discrepancies with reality.

"Do you want to ask Mr. Orochimaru about it?"

Du quickly realized what.

Although he is now reluctantly assigned to the Oni Nation's military due to Nonoyu, he still has a certain degree of awe for the deceased old master Orochimaru.

Baishi gave him an appreciative look. The other party's brain was exceptionally smart, and he could deduce the reason just based on his words.

"Exactly."

"However, I remember that the Kingdom of Oni should have stolen all the achievements of Oshemaru-sama, and there should be nothing I need to add."

Dou was puzzled by this, and looked at Baishi suspiciously.

"Three caves of the cunning rabbit, the things that surface on the surface are often abandoned. The really important things are not necessarily recorded on paper. Maybe the kingdom of ghosts has mastered 99% of the achievements of Orochimaru, but there are still 1% that are uncontrollably wandering outside the intelligence system of the kingdom of ghosts."

Shiraishi said so.

"Then, what Master Shiraishi wants to know is..."

Dou became curious about this, with an enthusiastic smile on his face.

Obviously became interested in the fact that Oni no Nation failed to grasp the remaining one percent of Orochimaru.

"What do you know about polar particles?"

Baishi asked directly.

"Extreme particles..." After thinking for a while, he frowned and said, "I seem to have heard about this from Master Orochimaru. It seems to be a mysterious space substance that has a very powerful boosting effect on Chakra. Master Oroshemaru also attaches great importance to this, and no one is allowed to touch it."

"Three and Six Tails of Kirigakure Village were taken away by Akatsuki's leader, Nagato. The battle ended almost instantly. According to the information I got, Nagato defeated Sanwei and Six Tails Jinchuriki by using the special substance called polar particles."

Baishi's words surprised Ye Naiyu and Dou.

"Master Shiraishi means..."

"Extreme particles have other uses besides increasing chakra, such as blocking the chakra of Jinzhuli."

Shiraishi said with certainty.

"This..." A look of shock appeared on Dou's face, hesitating: "Master Orochimaru has never mentioned it to me, and I have not paid much attention to the matter of polar particles. However, Master Oroshemaru has indeed secretly researched a lot of things for the Akatsuki organization, which have not been recorded in the data file."

"Really? That's a shame."

Shiraishi sighed.

Although I already knew the answer, I was still disappointed because I couldn't find a breakthrough from the pocket.

"Master Shiraishi, is this important?"

No Naiyu asked.

"If my guess is true, and Nagato has a secret weapon against Jinchuriki, then the security of Jinchuriki will be greatly reduced. This is not a good thing for us."

Considering the importance of the Tailed Beast, Lin, who could join the battle, at this time, Baishi also needs to consider whether the opponent will become one of the fighting forces at that time.

"But forget it, it's too early to think about it now. Now that the situation is deadlocked, we still have time to prepare."

Shiraishi said so.

The current situation is very obvious. The Xiao organization, which was forced to come to the front, can no longer fish in troubled waters like in the past, but needs to face the pressure from other big powers.

It is true that the tens of thousands of Bai Jue and the equally large dragon beast army look fierce and powerful enough to take down a big country head-on.

But there are three big countries surrounding the Kingdom of Rain.

Yunyin is also actively mobilizing troops to cooperate with the three villages of Konoha, Shayin, and Yanyin.

Maybe these villages cannot concentrate all their strength in a short period of time, but it is by no means a problem to gather 10,000 to 20,000 ninjas.

If the Kingdom of Rain is used as the battlefield, even if Yuyin succeeds in blocking it, a fierce battle will destroy the entire Kingdom of Rain.

The land of the Land of Rain is not only small, but also surrounded by enemies, there is no deep strategic space at all.

Once a major war breaks out, it will be a full-scale war, and there is no room for buffering.

During this period, the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Fire have begun to evacuate border residents and station large-scale ninja troops to complete pre-war mobilization.

These big countries are also waiting, waiting for the establishment of the alliance and the operation of the entire state machine.

It seemed like a war that was about to break out, but because both sides were in the stage of accumulating power, they fell into a weird state of balance for a short time.

However, how long can this fragile balance fulcrum last under the confrontation of all parties?

For this, Shiraishi needs to put a question mark.

September 25.

In the surrounding area with the Kingdom of Rain as the core, the atmosphere of this confrontation has become more tense as time goes by.

Sugashi has sent 6,000 more ninjas to the eastern border of the Land of Wind, Iwagakushi has stationed 6,500,000 ninjas on the southeastern border of the Land of Earth, and Konoha has deployed 5,000 ninjas to the western border of the Fire Kingdom. Counting Yun Yin, the concentrated ninja force has exceeded 20,000.

Almost like catching a turtle in an urn, they surrounded the Kingdom of Rain and blocked all the passages in and out of the Kingdom of Rain, in an attempt to completely block the roads from the Kingdom of Rain to the outside world in this way.

The Baijue and Dragon Beast Legion that appeared in the Kingdom of Rain were also divided into four troops, and spread out evenly towards the Kingdom of Rain, confronting the troops of each village. Both hostile parties are restraining and will not detonate this flammable war until the order from the superior comes.

"The kages of each village have already left, and their destination is the Iron Country, where they plan to hold the Five Kages Conference."

After Heijue returned to Yuyin Village, he immediately came to the central tower that was filled with wind and rain, and reported the matter to Xiaonan with a dignified tone.

Obviously, the convening of the Five Kages Conference has put a lot of pressure on it.

The current balance is caused by the lack of preparation of all parties, and there is a fulcrum as a balance to adjust, but once the Five Kages Conference is over, this balance fulcrum will immediately lose its effect.

The 20,000 ninjas deployed around the Land of Rain are not only to prevent Ukage from making a surprise attack, but also to allow the Five Kages Conference to be held smoothly without interference from external factors.

"Where is the country of ghosts?"

Xiaonan asked.

"The invitation letters of Yanyin and Yunyin have been sent. Although they haven't seen them leave yet, I think they will not miss this grand event."

Hei Jue looked very rationally.

Although he very much hoped that Oni Nation would reject the Five Kages Conference this time, so that the pressure on the Akatsuki organization would be much less, but such a good thing can only be thought about.

According to his guess, the probability of Ghost Kingdom participating in the talks is as high as 90%.

Seeing that Xiaonan was silent, Heijue continued to add: "Forcing the Akatsuki organization to come to the stage, the preliminary plan of the ghost country has been completed. If there is no accident, they will use the five shadows conference to make a fuss. This will be very fatal to us."

It's just such an alliance, the Akatsuki organization can't stop it.

Not only Heijue understands this point, but Xiaonan also understands it very well.

The purpose of the Five Kages Conference this time is very clear, to urge the countries to form an alliance, eliminate the potential threat of Yuyin, and regain their tailed beasts.

War is inevitable.

"Are you planning to go to the scene to sabotage their negotiations?"

Xiao Nan frowned and asked.

"No, there is no point in disrupting their negotiations in the past. Their purpose is to form an alliance against us. However, before fighting, we need to resolve some things."

Hei Jue's eyes are dim.

"What?"

"Civilians in the Kingdom of Rain. They have no combat capabilities. Once a war breaks out, they will definitely die, and none of them can escape. And because of their existence, we may not be able to fight with all our strength to protect them, resulting in the failure of the battle."

Heijue simply stated a cruel reality.

The Land of Rain was surrounded by four villages, and all exits were blocked. It was not only Bai Jue and the Dragon Beast Legion who were trapped in the country, but also more than a million ordinary people.

If they are not transferred out, when the flames of war burn throughout the Kingdom of Rain, there will be absolutely no one who can survive.

After hearing this, Xiao Nan frowned even tighter.

This question is also what worries her the most.

If Yuyin and Xiao have any weaknesses, this is their biggest weakness.

"Heijue, don't get me wrong, neither I nor Nagato will give up on them. These people are the foundation of the Kingdom of Rain."

Xiao Nan looked directly at Hei Jue's emotionless eyes, and said firmly.

"I understand, but there is not much time left for us. We must arrange this matter before the end of the Five Kages Conference, otherwise..."

Hei Jue stopped talking at this point, but the meaning was already very obvious.

Once the Five Kages Conference is over, it means that the major powers have reached an alliance, and it will be too late to take action at that time.

Now, there are only two days left before the Five Kages Conference is held.

"This matter... I will mention it to Nagato."

Xiaonan took a deep breath, knowing that if this matter is not handled properly, it will bring irreversible consequences to the Kingdom of Rain, so it must be treated with caution.

Thinking of this, Xiaonan couldn't help contacting Nagato again, trying to complete the migration of the people of the Land of Rain before the end of the Five Kages Conference.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun began to sink, and the light and heat were no longer as strong as at noon.

Onoki, who received feedback from the village shadows, is leading the entourage and gathering at the main entrance of Yan Yin.

In addition to the Anbu, a unit hidden in the dark, there are a male and a female ninja accompanying Ohnoki.

The former is nearly two meters tall, strong and powerful, with a very prominent tuanzi nose. He is the elite Jonin Akato of Yanyin Village. Known for his strange power and earth escape technique, he is also one of Tsuchikage Onoki's favorite disciples.

The latter is slender, of average height, with short jet-black hair, and looks like a young girl no older than twenty years old. Like Akatsuki, she is also an elite jnin of Yanyin VillageKuroto.

In addition to being a jounin, she is also the granddaughter of Tsuchikage Onogi, one of the few talented ninjas in Iwakage who can create their own blood succession limit.

Although Chitu and Kuroto can be said to have shallow qualifications compared to most of Iwagakushi's Jnin, but in terms of strength, they can be regarded as powerful among Jnin. Whether it is in terms of relationship or ability, Onogi has given a high level of trust to the two. This time participating in the Five Shadows Conference, bringing two people with them also shows the importance they attach to them.

Especially as the latter's granddaughter, Hei Tu, who can create her own blood succession boundary when she is only a teenager. Once this ability develops, in Ohnoki's view, it is only a matter of time before she surpasses her father, Huang Tu. Maybe she can sprint towards a higher position of Tu Ying, and it is not impossible.

"Huangtu, the government affairs of the village will be left to you for the time being. Don't make mistakes for the old man."

"Don't worry, I will pay attention, father."

Huang Tu solemnly nodded and made a serious promise to Onoki.

"Oh, Dad, you are still the same, just relax a little bit, it's not good to be too serious. Right, old man?"

Regarding his father Huang Tu's serious personality, Heitu patted him on the shoulder in a nonchalant manner, and then turned his head and smiled and asked Onogi.

"Hei Tu, don't be so rude, your frizzy personality also needs to be changed."

Onoki glared at this granddaughter who was neither big nor young. It was all because of his pampering in the past that the other party developed such a strong personality that lost dignity. Now he wants to correct it, but he feels it is too late.

"Speaking of which, there is still no reply from the ghost country?"

Onoki looked at the loess.

The Five Kages Conference is about to be held. As the Five Kages, they have unified their caliber and responded to Iwagakushi in agreement.

But only the country of ghosts, after the invitation was sent, there was no reply, so Onoki didn't know what the country of ghosts was doing.

Huang Tu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen the reply over there yet, maybe I forgot to reply. After all, they won't miss such an important meeting."

"That's why I hate the little ghosts now. They don't know how to respect the old and love the young at all." Onogi snorted, obviously dissatisfied with the attitude of the ghost country, "That's how it is, it doesn't matter if they don't come, don't worry about that side, let's go."

After finishing speaking, Kazuki Ono turned around and set off in the opposite direction of the main entrance.

"Then, Dad, I'll leave it to you to take care of the village. We'll be back soon, bye."

Hei Tu beckoned, and then followed Onoki's pace and headed for the Iron Country.

"I've been there too, Huangtu Jonin, I will protect Lord Dokage and Kuroto during the meeting."

Chi Tu politely nodded to Huang Tu, and followed Ohnoki and Hei Tu.

Dusk.

Konoha, the main entrance.

Tsunade also summoned people and assembled at the main entrance.

Accompanying them are "Pig" and "Cho" from the Konoha Ikacho trio, Yamanaka Kaiichi and Akimichi Choza. In addition, another quota is given for Naruto, who is Jinchuriki, to accompany him to the Iron Country to participate in the five shadow talks.

"Really, Granny Tsunade, why do you even have to go with me?"

Naruto, who has just been out of the hospital for two days, is not interested in the Five Kage talks.

"I don't want to do this either, but the enemy may target you at any time now. If you are in the village, the village will be attacked again. It will be safer to bring you to the Five Kages Conference."

Tsunade patiently explained.

Naruto crossed his arms, and could only reluctantly accept this explanation.

"Okay, Naruto, don't be self-willed. Hokage-sama is also for your own good. The village has not recovered yet, but it can't stand another toss. Moreover, according to the information revealed by Yunyin and Wuyin, it seems that their Jinzhuriki also seems to have been attacked. Your current situation is more dangerous than before. You have been staying in one place and are easy to be found."

hai patted Naruto on the shoulder and said solemnly.

After Naruto heard this, his heart also trembled, and he felt a sudden sense of crisis.

"I remember that Akatsuki seems to have obtained four-headed and tailed beasts before..."

"That's right, if the information from Yunyin and Kirigakure is correct, then Akatsuki has obtained a total of seven tailed beasts. In other words, the enemy has gathered all the tailed beasts except for the nine tails in your body and the missing seven tails. If the enemy starts to move again next time, you will become their key target, and even Konoha will be in crisis."

After hearing this, Naruto shut his mouth obediently.

He has no concept of tailed beasts like before. This kind of creature beyond common sense, even a single one, can bring unparalleled deterrence, and the Akatsuki organization has gathered more than half of the tailed beasts. Just thinking about it makes people feel shuddering.

Ignoring Haiyi who was comforting Naruto, Tsunade said seriously to the two standing in front of him:

"During my departure, I will entrust you two to take care of the affairs of the village."

In addition to Nara Shikuhisa, the squad leader of the ninja who has been assisting him, the other is an old man over seventy years oldAkimichi Takakaze.

Within half a year, Konoha suffered two consecutive attacks, which greatly reduced Konoha's prestige and made many villagers lose trust and sense of security in the village's senior management.

Therefore, due to Konoha's current crisis situation, Tsunade also had to invite this respected senior Konoha to act as a temporary consultant to stabilize the fluttering hearts in the village at this time.

"Don't worry, Hokage-sama, since it's for the sake of the village, I will do my best."

Akimichi Tekkaze nodded. Although his body was old and he was no longer as powerful as he was in his prime, his face still looked very energetic, giving people a sense of aging.

While responding to Tsunade, his gaze also glanced at Naruto's face, as if he was also curious about this Jinchuriki who repelled powerful enemies for Konoha.

Shikahisa nodded in the same way, as a response to Tsunade's request.

With the assistance of Qiudao Torukfeng, his senior, his next workload should be much easier.

"I believe in the ability of the two of you to handle affairs. If there is nothing to explain, then I will set off here."

Tsunade felt that the time was almost up. If he set off at this time, he could arrive at the Iron Country a few hours earlier.

"By the way, I have one more thing to tell Naruto." Lu Jiu looked at Naruto.

"Huh? Me?"

Naruto pointed at himself.

"Yes, besides Hokage-sama, the participants of the Five Kages Conference this time include Chiba Shiraishi, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Demon Kingdom. I know that you have strong hostility towards the other party because of some things, but I still hope that you can restrain yourself when the time comes, and don't disrupt the normal convening of the conference, let alone provoke that man. He is very dangerous."

Lu Jiu solemnly warned Naruto.

On the one hand, this Five Kages Conference is an important platform for the great powers to unite. Although it has not yet officially started, Lu Jiu can already guess what will be discussed during this Five Kages Conference meeting. Therefore, it is best not to mention irrelevant matters, otherwise it will disturb the order of the conference, cause dissatisfaction among the remaining shadows, and easily leave a bad impression on the ninjas in other villages.

On the other hand, the kingdom of ghosts is powerful. Even if Naruto is very strong, if he really takes action, he will probably ask for trouble, which will hit Konoha's prestige and make people talk.

"... I see, Uncle Lujiu, I will pay attention, and I won't mess around there."

and Lu Jiu exchanged glances, Naruto agreed to Lu Jiu's request.

"Then, I wish you all the best on this trip, let's go quickly."

Lu Jiu smiled and nodded.

"Set off."

Tsunade simply greeted and led everyone towards the Iron Country.

Watching off Tsunade and the others to leave, Shikajiu saw Akimichi Torikaze staring at the direction where Tsunade and the others left without letting go, and could not help but ask with a smile:

"Why, Elder Takefeng, are you worried about this Five Kages Conference?"

"No, that's not the case. This time when the Five Kages Conference is over, most countries will form an alliance army to deal with the Akatsuki organization, but after that there will be a tragic war that far surpasses the previous Ninja World Wars. At that time, countless new names will be engraved on the memorial tablet."

Qiu Dao Takfeng's eyes were deep and deep, as if he had a premonition of this future.

Immediately, a hearty smile appeared on his old wrinkled face, sweeping away the gloom in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, in the blink of an eye, among the original six people, only Danzo and I were left alive. Whether it was Kagami, Hirizhan, or Koharu, they all left one by one. Maybe... now it's my turn to die for Konoha and become the last 'butterfly'..."

The light of the setting sun reflected a fiery red color on the face of Qiudao Qufeng, bursting out the last vitality of life.

Responding to Autumn Road and Taking the Wind, it was Lu Jiu's incomparably long silence, looking at the sunset in the distance in silence.
