Escape From Konoha

Vol 9 Chapter 157: Ryuji Cave (1)

Faced with such a tempting proposal, it would be a lie for Nagato to say that he is not tempted. Among the many relics that Madara left him, it can be said to be all-encompassing, whether it is the long-lost Yin-Yang Dun, or the many secrets about tailed beasts, they all have everything that one expects to find. But there is only one thing that does not appear in it, and that is Xianshu.

Regarding the matter of Xianshu, there are only a few words mentioned, and the cultivation method of Xianshu is completely unknown.

Although Nagato has never practiced senjutsu, it does not prevent him from knowing the power of senjutsu. Even the first Hokage who defeated Madara was also a practitioner of senjutsu. It is conceivable that senjutsu is a different kind of The great power of the regular chakra system. Madara's evaluation of fairy art is also very high.

Not to mention those who are far away, those nearby such as Orochimaru are also tirelessly moving forward on the road of pursuing immortal arts. It shows the special status of the power of Xianshu.

For such a powerful technique, Nagato would naturally ask for something.

But at the cost of attacking Mt. Miaomu...

After Nagato was tempted for a moment, the emotion on his face returned to calm again.

Attacking Mount Miaomu is no small matter, and no one knows what kind of monsters and monsters exist there in the holy land that has lasted for thousands of years.

If it succeeds, it’s fine, but if it fails... Does Yuyin Village have the ability to withstand the pressure after failure?

Today's Yuyin Village, although it has developed over the years, has always been difficult to satisfy Nagato in terms of military strength.

Despite the purchase of new weapons from the ghost country, the military strength has been steadily improved. However, while Yuyin Village is conducting arms trade with the Ghost Country, the Ghost Country is also conducting arms trade with the other five major countries, and the amount of arms trade with the five major countries is far from what Yuyin Village can match. The overall military strength of the five major countries will increase faster than that of Yuyin Village, not slower.

This is the disadvantage of Yuyin Village. If you win, you can protect yourself. If you lose, Yuyin and even the Kingdom of Rain will lose any room for maneuver among the big countries.

"Mr. Shiraishi, I think that with the power of the Ghost Country family, it should be enough to swallow Miaomu Mountain alone. Why do you need help from outsiders?"

Nagato asked this question.

Baishi thought for a while and replied: "Your Excellency Nagato may have misunderstood. First of all, it is impossible to bet all the power of the ghost country on Mount Miaomu. The reason why we seek cooperation is to minimize the risk as much as possible."

"Then why do you come to me for help?"

Nagato intends to get to the bottom of it.

"Based on our previous and many times of cooperation, both sides have obtained stable and lasting benefits, and have a deep foundation of trust. As for the rest of the big countries..."

For Shiraishi's words, Nagato did not fully believe it.

Baishi can seek cooperation from Yuyin, and naturally he can also seek cooperation from other forces.

But Shiraishi found him directly now, and did not seek cooperation from other Ninja villages. That can only show one thing, the relationship between the kingdom of ghosts and the other five major countries has deteriorated more seriously than he imagined.

Compared with the traditional five major countries, Yuyin Village is more trustworthy.

Because, as Shiraishi said, their previous cooperations have already established a good foundation of trust.

Sometimes honesty is more effective than imagined.

"Speaking of which, do you have any questions, Nagato-dono?"

Shiraishi paused, and asked Nagato.

"I need detailed information on Mount Miaomu before I can make a judgment."

Nagato's face remained unchanged.

Shiraishi tilted his head, and gestured with his eyes to Yiji behind him.

Ichihime took out a scroll from her arms, put it on the round table, pushed it lightly, and it rolled to a stop in front of Nagato.

"Xiaonan, take Mr. Shiraishi and Miss Yiji down to rest."

Nagato got the scroll and didn't watch it immediately, but asked Xiaonan to arrange Shiraishi and Kazuhime to go down to rest.

The matter is so important that he cannot make a decision all at once. He must carefully consider the pros and cons of all aspects and weigh the pros and cons.

Xiao Nan nodded and left the place.

"Two, please follow me."

Shiraishi stood up and said to Nagato: "I hope Your Excellency Nagato will give me an accurate answer within three days."

After speaking, he took Yiji and followed Xiaonan to leave the conference room.

As the door closed, Nagato retracted his gaze, spread out the scroll in his hand on the table, and began to scan the information on it carefully.

Soon after, Xiao Nan who arranged for Shiraishi and Yi Ji to go to the lounge turned back.

After returning to the conference room, she saw that Nagato was not sitting in the original seat, but walked to the window, quietly watching the rain scene outside, and could still hear the pattering rain.

There was only one half-opened scroll on the table, and it seemed that Nagato had finished reading it.

Because Nagato's back was facing her, Xiaonan didn't know what Nagato's face was like at the moment, so he asked aloud: "How about it, Nagato, do you want to agree to the cooperation of the Ghost Kingdom this time?"

Nagato heard Xiaonan's question, but did not respond immediately, and continued to listen to the sound of rain outside.

Obviously, he was still thinking about whether to agree to Baishi, and the two sides cooperated to capture Miaomu Mountain together.

"The leader of Mount Miaomu is called the Great Toad Immortal. According to legend, he is a close friend of the Immortal of the Six Paths and possesses the mysterious power to see through the future."

When Nagato said this information, he naturally showed his fear in front of Xiaonan.

In this world, Xiao Nan is the only person he can trust without reservation. Therefore, in front of Xiao Nan, he didn't have to hide it, but spoke directly.

"Over the years, Jiraiya-sensei has publicized the prophecy made by Mt. Miaogi more than once, as if targeting Chiba Shiraishi... However, it is only to this extent, and it is not enough for the kingdom of ghosts to go to war with Mt. Miaogi."

Xiaonan followed Nagato's words, she was wondering about this.

Predicting this kind of thing can be big or small, but to escalate the situation directly to the level of war, such a move is too much of a fuss.

Nagato turned around, looked at the scroll spread out on the round table, and said calmly: "No, the kingdom of ghosts has done a lot of work to understand Mt. As expected, Mount Miaomu must have done something secretly to make Qianye Baishi make up his mind to destroy Mount Miaomu, and the proportion of prophecy is actually not high."

If it was just a prediction to that extent, Nagato did not believe Shiraishi would make such a risky move.

But there is one exception—for example, when investigating Mt. Miaomu, he accidentally discovered that Mt. Miaomu was detrimental to the kingdom of ghosts, which prompted Shiraishi to make up his mind to attack Mt. Miaogi. In this way, everything makes sense.

"It seems that when he was cooperating, he also hid some important information."

Xiao Nan showed displeasure.

Nagato smiled lightly: "It's human nature, if it were me, I would also hide some important information when cooperating, so that outsiders can't get it. But it seems that Miaomushan can push him to this point. It’s not small. A holy land of psychic beasts that should be in a neutral position has been hostile by the kingdom of ghosts instead, and it doesn’t look like a fairy art coveting the holy land... The secrets here are really curious.”

"Then...do we need to investigate Mt. Miaomu?"

Xiao Nan felt that he could use this opportunity to grasp more trends in the Kingdom of Ghosts and prepare for the subsequent plan to capture tailed beasts.

Nagato shook his head and said: "These are just useless efforts. Bai Jue has investigated these holy places in the past, but it is basically difficult to sneak in, or sneak in by luck. Those Bai Jue will disappear without a trace. The water in the holy land may not be shallower than the water in these big countries, or even deeper."

If this were not the case, the Kingdom of Ghosts would not have come to seek cooperation, but would have chosen to monopolize Mount Miaomu.

"Then your plan is..."

"Let me think about it. This cooperation is not a trivial matter. Even I have to consider whether I can bear the price I will face after failure. This time it is not as small as before..."

The holy land that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the giant toad sage who can also be related to the sage of the Six Paths... To be honest, Nagato thinks this is too difficult.

The deeper the ability of the eyes of reincarnation, the more Nagato understands what the Sage of the Six Paths means to this world.

Would it be a simple existence for a person who can make friends with the Sage of the Six Paths and talk and laugh happily together?

"I thought Itachi, where are you going? It turns out that the goal is the country of medicine."

Kisame, who followed Itachi, saw the three huge mountains in the distance, and immediately understood Itachi's destination.

So, he grinned at the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile that could be called ferocious in the eyes of outsiders.

And the Itachi next to him didn't say a word, just quietly looked at the three mountains in the distance.

The three mountains are located in the center of the sea, so the two can only go there by boat.

Seeing Itachi didn't speak, and Kisame didn't bother, just paddling while looking at the three mountains on the sea with interest.

According to the information he knows, this is a place called Wolf Cry Village, which was a large-scale ninja village many years ago. Like ninja villages in other countries, it relies on mission entrustment to earn living expenses.

However, because the land where this ninja village is located is full of mountains and green fields, various medicinal herbs can be collected, so it is also called the country of medicine by outsiders. But even if it is called a country, it is only a village in essence.

But because of the abundant medicinal herbs, the ninjas in this ninja village began to become lazy. Since the land continued to be rich in medicinal herbs, they could make a lot of money just by selling medicinal herbs. The ninjas in the village became more and more useless... until several years The declaration of neutrality was announced before, and it directly changed from a ninja village to a gathering place of drug dealers whose whole village relied on selling drugs to accumulate wealth.

It has to be said that this change made many people feel embarrassed.

Kisame knew this place because the medicine dealers in this country, or in other words, the village, were too famous. Even big countries send people here every year to buy a large amount of medicinal materials, making the villagers here rich overnight.

The boat quickly came to land.

Kisame walked to the solid ground first, and Itachi also got off the boat, looking up at the mountain road in front of him.

A vermilion torii gate stands in front of it, with the words "eighty-eight gates of wolves crying".

Looking at the mountain road, it seems that there are endless torii gates stretching up the slope.

Guixie joked: "Eighty-eight gates... Could it be that there are eighty-eight torii gates here? Wouldn't it be necessary to abandon the world a total of eighty-eight times?"

Torii is the dividing point between the human world and the heavenly world. Even the shrines in the land of ghosts cannot build so many torii gates on their own shrines.

What's more, it used to be just a ninja village, not a shrine.

"This represents the determination of the village where the wolf cries as a neutral party."

Itachi explained.

Ghost shark tilted his head.

Abandoning the world eighty-eight times means that he has no dispute with the world and is completely neutral?

I don't understand the thoughts of the people in this village.

The reason why this place can remain neutral is only that the major powers currently hope that this place is neutral. Once the minds of the major powers change, the neutral position will not be able to protect this place.

Kisame followed Itachi through the torii gates along the **** of the mountain path.

Guixier enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way. Although the villagers of this village had strange ideas, the reputation of being rich in medicinal herbs was not in vain. Before reaching the tenth torii gate, I saw a variety of flowers and plants blooming on the mountain. The flowers are fragrant and colorful, which really gives people a feeling of ascending to heaven.

Even in winter, it is so beautiful, which surprised Kisame.

At the top of the mountain, there is an entrance that has opened a giant door, surrounded by tall walls, and only this one entrance can be entered.

Before entering the village, Guixie could smell the strange smell of countless medicinal herbs mixed in the air.

There are countless stalls on both sides of the street, and vendors shout enthusiastically in front of their stalls to attract customers.

Even the well-informed Guixie encountered difficulties when he saw the medicinal materials sold at the stall, and he knew only a very small part of the medicinal materials.

"The Land of Wolves' Cry is worthy of being called the Country of Medicine."

Ghost shark sighed softly.

There are many magnificent buildings here, and the villagers have plump and ruddy complexions. It seems that they are just small vendors, but in essence they may be wealthy businessmen.

It's no wonder that in the past, great powers came here to buy medicinal herbs one after another. Even the villagers in this village directly abandoned ninjas, even despised the existence of ninjas, and opened a medicinal material shop, which is completely reasonable.

Being a ninja is only worth a little money, Kisame can probably guess the psychology of these people.

"However, is it okay for us to swagger in like this?"

Kisame looked at Itachi.

"It's okay, this is a neutral party, as long as we don't make trouble, they won't drive us away."

Itachi is very aware of the rules here, even if it is rebellious, as long as it does not disturb the order here, it will not be targeted.

Only then did Kisame feel relieved, he didn't want to be in a state of nervous tension all day long, otherwise even he would feel tired.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from ahead.

A group of men wearing uniforms surrounded a woman and pointed at the woman with something similar to a blower, as if they wanted to attack.

"Is that the Wandering Miko from the Ghost Country?"

Kisame looked at the woman surrounded by men, wearing a red and white priestess costume, with an aster flower badge token similar to her identity hanging on her waist, she was obviously a wandering priestess from the kingdom of ghosts.

"What do people in this village want to do?"

There was a hint of surprise in the ghost shark's eyes.

Although those big powers in the ninja world are not afraid of the kingdom of ghosts, this place is definitely not included among the forces that are not afraid of the kingdom of ghosts.

Or, if you think you are a neutral party, you can act unscrupulously?

Itachi glanced at it, and said in a low voice: "In the past, someone extracted something called green fire powder in the wolf cry..."

"Green fire powder? I remember it was..."

"It is said that it is used to refine the main material of the immortal medicine that can cure all diseases and live forever. However, after mixing with water, the green fire powder will explode violently. The people in this village have developed the power of the green fire powder. Decent firearm, repelling stray ninja attacks many times."

"Then why are you with the Kingdom of Ghosts..."

"Because the ghost country blocked their way of making money. They even declared that the firearm technology of the ghost country was developed by stealing their green fire powder technology, and asked the ghost country to make reasonable compensation many times."

"..."

Ghost shark was speechless.

But if you think about it, the arms business in the ghost country is very popular in all countries. In contrast, the Wolf Cry, where firearms technology is still in its infancy, falls short in this respect. As the saying goes, blocking someone's way of making money is like killing one's parents. Obviously, the arms trade in the kingdom of ghosts has greatly damaged the interests of the place where the wolf cries.

In addition, the place where the wolf cries has close relations with some big countries, and it begins to become defiant. For them, even if they offend the kingdom of ghosts, it's not a big deal. A group of greedy businessmen who will do anything for money.

"Ghostfish, let's part here next, I need to buy some medicine."

Itachi is not very interested in the disputes between the Land of Wolves and the Kingdom of Ghosts, or in other words, he is not interested in all disputes.

After explaining this sentence, Itachi walked straight forward.

Kisame watched Itachi leave, and set his eyes on the wandering priestess who was arguing with the guards in the Wolf Cry, then turned his eyes away, walked to other places, and began to buy the medicine he needed.

Three days passed by in a flash.

Yuyin Village, in the meeting room.

Nagato met Shiraishi here again in person.

Presumably after three days of deliberation, Nagato has made his own choice. Therefore, before Nagato spoke first, Shiraishi first asked:

"Your Excellency Nagato, three days have passed, can you give me an accurate answer now?"

Regarding this question, Nagato did not answer, but asked: "Before that, I would like to ask first, what is the chance that you and I will win Mt. Miaogi together?"

Bai Shi said without hesitation: "Ninety percent."

Nagato's face remained unchanged, but his voice became a little lower: "I need to hear the truth."

"Ninety percent."

Shiraishi still had the answer.

As for whether he has deceived Nagato, only he knows in his heart.

Nagato did not make any comments on this answer, but said: "I think Mr. Shiraishi should know that Yuyin Village is not as big as the country of ghosts. If it fails, what kind of predicament will it face? You and I I know it well."

Shiraishi nodded, he had expected this.

"Your Excellency Nagato, please ask for it."

"Unfortunately, I don't have any requirements."

Nagato gave this answer.

Shiraishi frowned.

Nagato looked straight into Shiraishi's eyes and said, "Actually, no matter what the winning percentage is, it is very difficult for me to agree to the cooperation deal proposed by Mr. Shiraishi this time. For me, the risk I have to take is too great. Our country of rain , unlike the country of ghosts, where the great cause is great, and one failure is only a slight exercise."

"Your Excellency Nagato means..."

"I refuse to cooperate."

Nagato replied flatly.

This is a decision he made after careful consideration.

Because no matter whether he captures Mount Miaomu or not, he has to bear the huge risk of being exposed in advance.

The serious consequences of this part cannot be made up for by such a small profit.

On the contrary, as long as he follows the steps step by step, he can gain powerful power step by step, and there is no need to take risks to obtain any fairy arts.

"If it's because the conditions are not enough, I can make another profit based on the previous..."

"This has nothing to do with the profit sharing. I'm sorry, Mr. Shiraishi, you are wasted. I'm very sorry about the cooperation..."

Nagato was unmoved.

His current accumulation is not enough, and before the Tailed Beast Project reaches the final stage, he will not be able to stand in front of the stage.

In the past, Akatsuki became a **** used by others in the war because she acted too recklessly.

Hanzo also stood in front of the stage, causing the Land of Rain to be targeted by various countries.

These are all **** failure examples. If you want to achieve great things, you must have enough patience and not rush for success.

"...No, I took the liberty to interrupt."

Baishi sighed and didn't continue to entangle.

This is something that belongs to the kingdom of ghosts. Nagato doesn't want to get involved, and he has his own considerations.

Even if he changed his position, he might not agree to such a risky request for cooperation.

Since Nagato refused to cooperate, the meaning of staying here is gone.

Shiraishi decisively took Yiji away.

"What's next, old man?"

Putting on the raincoat she had when she came, and walking outside Yuyin Village, Yiji turned her head and asked.

"There is no hope for Yuyin Village, so we can only start from other places."

Shiraishi looked at the gray sky, the raindrops fell on his face, bringing a cold chill.

"Anywhere else? Are there any partners you can consider?"

"Dragon Cave."

Shiraishi said the name.

"Longdi Cave? The third holy place besides Wet Bone Forest and Mt. Miaomu?"

Yiji was surprised.

"Well, I heard from the live slug that the white snake fairy in Longdi Cave seems to have had some feuds with the big toad fairy in Miaomu Mountain in the past. Because of this relationship, the psychic beasts of the two holy places will often come across them. Sex fights. Maybe that can be exploited."

Shiraishi said what he knew.

"In other words, using the Holy Land to contain the Holy Land?"

"That's right, this is also a feasible solution. But I'm afraid it's not that simple to convince the White Snake Immortal. We can only try our best."

"In that case, let's go and have a look."

Yiji is eager to try, wanting to see the elegance of the Holy Land.

"No, I'll just go there alone this time, and now I have something for you to do."

Shiraishi rejects Ichihime's companion.

"What's up?"

Yiji asked curiously.

"Have you heard of this village in the Wolf's Cry?"

"The country of medicine? What happened there?"

Yiji instantly remembered what the Wolf Crying Village was.

It is one of the largest medicinal material supply bases in the ninja world, and has close business relationships with many countries in the ninja world. Even the country of ghosts occasionally goes there to purchase medicinal materials, and then transports them back to the country to make medicines.

"The medicinal material procurement team that went there before was attacked by unknown people. There were more than a dozen wounded, and one died. It’s a good thing, you go there and ask them to hand over the murderer and the perpetrator, and ask them to make corresponding compensation.”

Shiraishi stared at Kazuki's face and said to her.

"Well, then I'll go over and deal with it."

Yiji thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Yi Ji separated from Shiraishi and disappeared in the rain.

Staring at the direction where Kazuhime left, Shiraishi retracted his gaze ~www.readwn.com~ and turned to another direction.

"Longdi Cave, Immortal White Snake, I hope I won't be disappointed this time...Before that, I have to meet Liuli first."

Longdi Cave is different from Wet Bone Forest and Mt. Miaomu Mountain. This is a notorious sacred place for psychic beasts.

The snake-like psychic beasts living there are not only cruel, but also very bloodthirsty and warlike.

To put it simply, the only condition for talking to them on an equal footing is to make them identify with each other in terms of strength. If they can't satisfy them in terms of strength, they will only become food in the giant snake's mouth in the end.

If the ticket to meet the White Snake Immortal is to be obtained through fighting at that time, then Liuli is the best candidate.

After all, he's just a medical ninja, not very proficient in combat.

For professional matters, let the professionals handle them.
