16 years old, fourth generation Mizukage

Chapter 229 "Xiao"'s Determination
In the end, the caravan of the Land of Fire, which was trapped in the Land of Frost due to some unexplainable changes for the time being, was escorted by the support team sent by Konoha, and successfully returned to the Land of Fire with its own goods. on the land of the country.

But this small incident in the Land of Frost seemed to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the ninja world, which was undercurrent surging, dropped a stone, and easily spread ripples beyond expectations. Countless willing or unwilling people were all involved in the sphere of influence of the undercurrent.

"The Kingdom of Grass and the Kingdom of Taki increased the review of the caravans of the Country of Fire, prohibiting the caravans of the Country of Fire from purchasing some specific materials from their country, and then the Kingdom of Stone, which is located between the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind, broke out Civil strife broke out, the whereabouts of the daimyo who originally ruled the country are unknown, Tian Zhiguo, which has never established a ninja village, has also emerged public opinion to integrate domestic ninja resources and establish its own ninja village..."

"The situation suddenly became tense again, Yahiko."

Holding a newborn baby girl in her arms, Xiaonan sat in the office of the leader of the "Akatsuki" organization, listening to Yahiko's soliloquy of sorting out the information, while shaking his head with emotion:
"I didn't expect that a terrorist organization formed by the remnants of the 'root' party could stir up such a big disturbance... If you think about it this way, it is really amazing that we were able to survive the siege of them and Hanzo I entrusted the assistance of that Mizukage-sama.”

"It is foreseeable that in the days to come, we will continue to rely on that person's influence and support in order to continue to develop 'Dawn' and the Kingdom of Rain."

Yahiko raised his head from the classified and stacked information, and sighed deeply:

"With the strength of one person, the entire ninja world was shaken up, and the major ninja villages, which have always been dominated by armed conflicts, had to choose to adopt a new way to fight... Kaguya Lian, even if he was born In a small country that is worse and weaker than the Land of Rain, he should be able to make the entire ninja world focus on him, right?"

"Maybe." Xiao Nan gently teased her daughter with her fingers, her expression gentle and cautious, "If you were born in a small country full of wars, there is a high probability that your parents will be separated and your family will be disintegrated. , if you encounter that kind of period when you are very young, even a genius like Kaguya Rei, it is very likely that you will die halfway, right?"

"...That's right, it would be better for him to be born in the land of water."

Yahiko nodded in agreement, then leaned back tiredly, staring at the snow that was falling non-stop outside the window, and muttered to himself:

"I just don't know when Nagato will come back... When he's not around, I always feel like something's missing, no matter what I do, I feel like I'm at a loss."

"There's no way. After all, the Land of Rain is just a small country trying to survive in the cracks. If there is no such outstanding ninja as Nagato in charge, even the collection of information must be done more carefully."

Just as Xiaonan was rationally analyzing Nagato's effect on the entire "Akatsuki" organization, the window of the office where the two were located was suddenly opened from the outside without warning, and a red-haired figure was wearing a white snow suit all over his body. He jumped in, then closed the window with his backhand, turned his head to look at the two close friends in the room with a gentle expression, and joked:
"I seem to hear someone talking about me... it shouldn't be an illusion, right?"

"Nagato!"

Seeing the symbolic reincarnation eyes of the comer, Yahiko immediately jumped up from his seat, laughed and rushed forward to give him a big hug, and while hugging Yahiko into a ball, Nagato also cast his eyes on Xiaonan who stood up together, seeing the baby girl in her arms who was crying because of the air-conditioning that had just opened the window, Nagato couldn't help but froze, and apologized in frustration road:

"Ah, sorry, I didn't expect that there was a newborn child in the room..."

"Don't worry, this child is not so delicate."

Xiaonan comforted the child in his arms very familiarly, and calmed her down again after a short while. Seeing this, Nagato let go of Yahiko, and said with regret:
"I'm sorry, Xiaonan, it was clearly agreed that after this child was born, I would be her adoptive father. As a result, not only did I not catch up with her when she was born, but I also left such a bad situation for her when we met for the first time. impression……"

"That kind of thing doesn't matter. After all, Nagato, you are running around for another child that the three of us share."

Yahiko waved his hands carelessly, and forgave Nagato, who didn't know anything, for his daughter, then put his hand on Nagato's shoulder, and asked seriously:

"Speaking of which, is the idea you wrote in the letter you sent us before the result of serious thinking, Nagato?"

"Is it the one that transformed 'Akatsuki' from a neutral peaceful ninja organization into a negotiation platform for dealing with conflicts among countries?"

"Yeah, that's it."

Yahiko looked at Nagato solemnly, "Can you explain to me in detail the ins and outs of that idea? Although you have said a lot in the letter, the situation in the ninja world has undergone so many changes now, why don't you give it a try?" I personally participated in the Konoha defense battle, and witnessed the battle between Kaguya Rei and Uchiha Obito of the 'root' organization... After so many things happened, do you still intend to continue to stick to that idea?"

"need."

Nagato took a deep breath, nodded solemnly to Yahiko and Konan, and said in a deep voice:
"We must not only transform 'Akatsuki' into a neutral platform for coordinating conflicts among countries as soon as possible, but also try our best to persuade all countries in the ninja world to send their representatives to us, no matter whether they are in the camp of Yan Yin or Yun Yin , Those who still stand in the camp of Kirigakure and Konoha, and even those who want to remain neutral like Sand Gakure, can go to the platform provided by Akatsuki to express their opinions."

"Nagato...are you, a little not sober?"

Konan came forward with some worry, and raised his hand to touch Nagato's slightly cold forehead, "It's okay to let Konoha and Kirigakure's camp countries and Ninja Village send representatives, and let a neutral country like Sand Gakure send representatives. If you show your strength and attitude, there should be a one-to-one chance, but the representatives of the country and ninja village from the Yanyin and Yunyin camps?"

"Bringing such a group of people together for a meeting or something... Do you want all of them to fight on the spot?"

Yahiko also expressed puzzlement and concern about Nagato's plan, and he, who was in charge of the organization most of the time, even put forward a very convincing example:

"After being captured by us, they have not been redeemed, and now they are also working here in the 'Xiao' organization. Shayin's Ye Cang and Yunyin's Troy are examples. When the two organizations hold meetings, they are not the same They start talking to each other when they have the opportunity? When encountering things that require cooperation at work, they are more inclined to lead their own subordinates to complete it, and they have no intention of working together at all."

"It's just two individuals who can't say that they have specific enmity. If they still carry the mission and will of the country and Ninja Village, I'm afraid they can't sit down and say three words before they start ninjutsu confrontation directly. Boom?"

"It's okay, I'll do it."

Nagato shook his head, and said calmly:

"Although it is a bit boastful to say this, as long as the opponent is not Kaguya Rei or Gokage, I can still stop the representatives from fighting before they cause any large-scale damage."

"And as long as the representatives of various countries suffer a few more times and realize that they can't resist me as the host, they will naturally have the space to sit down and talk about their interests and needs by the way."

"It's like, the ninja villages behind them are all afraid of Kaguya Rei's personal force, so they are forced to give up the means of directly launching wars to plunder resources, and can only use some heresy ways that they didn't pay much attention to in the past. The enemy's sanctions are the same."

"After they get used to exchanging opinions on the platform of 'Xiao', we, as the host of the meeting, will naturally have the ability to guide and interfere with public opinion, and to temporarily prevent wars between the parties. Opportunities to go down."

Listening to Nagato's exposition, Xiaonan and Yahiko looked at each other. From each other's eyes, they saw the complex emotions intertwined with doubt and understanding. After contemplating and digesting for a while, Yahiko spoke again and asked Nagato :
"Is this the way you found... Nagato to peace on the surface?"

"Well, Yahiko, do you still remember that we talked with Rei Kaguya at the time, wanting to leave a peaceful time for the ninja world to allow a new generation of ninjas to grow up, even if it's just superficial peace, it doesn't matter. "

Nagato first showed a surprised expression, and then nodded vigorously, confirming Yahiko's thoughts, and continued:

"Yes, this is a measure to make the superficial peace temporarily established by Kaguya Rei's personal force last longer, although what we can do is to allow all forces to make their voices heard, and Suppressing the outbreak of large-scale wars without discrimination, but for us who did not completely rely on our own strength to establish this order, such work is enough."

"Then, when this superficial peace can no longer be maintained and the forces of all parties are about to restart the war, how should we deal with ourselves, Nagato?"

Konan asked worriedly.

"Let's leave this issue to our Mizukage-sama."

Hearing this, Nagato smiled freely and said calmly:

"We'Xiao' will try our best to win him a peaceful time for a generation of ninjas to grow up. When we can't continue, the strength he has accumulated to complete his own vision has almost broken through the critical value. It is time to start turning We have entered the stage of practical implementation.”

"Of course, if the method he finally adopts will cause the entire ninja world to suffer..."

"It's up to me to risk my life and this pair of reincarnation eyes to correct him."

After the words fell, the lavender eyes of reincarnation in Nagato's eyes slowly shrank, exuding a kind of resolute determination, which is better than me.

　I can jump time again next time, happy
