Escape From Konoha - Vol 2 Chapter 157
Faced with such a tempting proposal, Nagato said it was false to not be tempted. Among the many relics Madara left him, it can be said to be all-encompassing, whether it is the long-lost yin and yang escape, or the many secrets about the tailed beast. But there is only one thing that does not appear in it, and that is fairy magic.
Regarding the matter of immortality, only a few words have been mentioned, and the cultivation method of immortality is completely unknown.
Although Nagato has never practiced immortality, it does not hinder his strong cognition of immortality. Even the first Hokage who defeated Madara is a practitioner of immortality. It is conceivable that immortality is a different kind of immortal art. The power of the regular chakra system. Madara’s evaluation of immortality is also very high.
Not to mention the far ones, the near ones like Orochimaru and other geeks are also tirelessly advancing on the road of pursuing immortality. This shows the special status of this kind of power.
For such a powerful technique, Nagato will naturally ask for something.
But at the cost of attacking Miaomu Mountain…
After Nagato was tempted for a moment, the emotion on his face returned to calm again.
Attacking Miaomu Mountain is no trivial matter. In a holy place that has existed for thousands of years, no one knows what bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods exist there.
If it succeeds, it’s fine, but if it fails… Does Yuyin Village have the ability to withstand pressure after failure?
Today’s Yuyin Village, although it has developed over the years, it has always been difficult for Nagato to be satisfied with its military strength.
Despite the purchase of new weapons from the country of ghosts, 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 compare to. The comprehensive military strength of the five major countries will only increase faster than Yuyin Village, not slower.
This is the disadvantage of Yuyin Village. If you win, you can protect yourself. If you fail, Yuyin and even the Kingdom of Rain will lose any room for maneuver among the great powers.
“Mr. Shiraishi, I think with the power of the Ghost Country family, it should be enough to swallow Miaomu Mountain all by itself. Why do you want to seek help from outsiders?”
Nagato asked this question.
Shiraishi thought for a while and replied, “Your Excellency Nagato may have misunderstood. First of all, the power of the Kingdom of Ghosts cannot be invested in Miaomu Mountain. The reason for seeking cooperation is to reduce the risk as much as possible.”
“Then why did you come to me for help?”
Nagato intends to get to the bottom of it.
“On the basis of our previous cooperation and many times, both parties have obtained stable and lasting benefits and have a deep foundation of trust. As for the other major countries…”
Nagato did not fully believe what Shiraishi said.
Shiraishi can find Yuyin for cooperation, and naturally he can also find other forces for cooperation.
But now Shiraishi found him directly, and did not go to find the rest of the Ninja Village for cooperation. That can only mean one thing. The relationship between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the other five countries has deteriorated more seriously than he imagined.
Compared with the traditional five countries, Yuyin Village is more trustworthy.
Because as Shiraishi said, their previous cooperation already had a good foundation of trust.
Sometimes honesty can be more effective than expected.
“Speaking of which, do you still have any questions about Nagato-san?”
Shiraishi paused and asked Nagato.
“I need detailed information on Miaomushan before I can make a judgment.”
Nagato’s expression did not change.
Shiraishi tilted his head and gestured at Kazuhime behind him.
Kazuhime took out a scroll from her bosom, placed it on the round table, pushed it lightly, rolled to Nagato and stopped.
“Xiao Nan, take Mr. Shiraishi and Miss Kazuhime down to rest.”
Nagato got the scroll and did not watch it immediately, but asked Konan to arrange for Shiraishi and Kazuhime to go down to rest.
The stakes are 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.
“You two, please come with me.”
Shiraishi stood up and said to Nagato: “I hope Your Excellency Nagato will give me an accurate answer within three days.”
After finishing speaking, he took Yi Ji and followed Xiao Nan out of the conference room.
As the door closed, Nagato looked back, spread the scroll in his hand on the table, and began to scan the information above seriously.
…
Soon after, Konami, who had arranged for Shiraishi and Kazuhime to go to the lounge, returned.
After returning to the conference room, she saw that Nagato was not sitting on the original seat, but walked to the window, quietly watching the rain outside, and could hear the patter of rain.
There was only a half-spread scroll on the table, and it seemed that Nagato had finished reading.
Because Nagato turned his back to her, Xiaonan didn’t know what Nagato’s face was like at the moment, so he asked aloud: “How is it, Nagato, do you want to agree to the cooperation of the Kingdom of Ghosts this time?”
When Nagato heard Xiao Nan’s question, he did not respond immediately, and continued to listen to the sound of the rain outside.
Obviously, he was still thinking about whether to agree to Shiraishi, and the two sides cooperated to capture Miaomu Mountain together.
“The leader of Miaomu Mountain has the title of the Great Toad Immortal. According to legend, he is the close friend of the Six Path Immortals, and has the mysterious power to see the future.”
Nagato said this information, and naturally showed his fear in front of Xiaonan.
To say that there is only one person in this world that he can trust without reservation, Xiao Nan is the only one now. Therefore, in front of Xiao Nan, he doesn’t have to keep things secret, but speak directly.
“Over the years, Mr. Jiraiya has promoted the prophecies made by Miaomushan more than once, as if targeting Chiba Shiraishi… However, at this level, it is not enough for the kingdom of ghosts to go to war with Miaomushan.”
Xiao Nan followed Nagato’s words, and she was wondering about this.
Predicting this kind of thing can be big or small, but escalating the situation directly to the level of war is too much of a fuss.
Nagato turned around, looked at the scroll spread out on the round table, and said calmly: “No, the country of ghosts has done a lot of work to understand Miaomu Mountain, and this scroll records the brief information of most of Miaomu Mountain’s staff… If I expected it to be good, Miaomushan should have done something secretly to make Chiba Shiraishi make up his mind to destroy Miaomushan, and the proportion of prophecy in it is actually not high.”
Nagato did not believe that Shiraishi would make such a risky move if it was only predicted to that extent.
But there is an exception-for example, when investigating Miaomu Mountain, it was accidentally discovered that Miaomu Mountain was unfavorable to the country of ghosts, which prompted Shiraishi to make up his mind to attack Miaomu Mountain. That way, everything makes sense.
“It seems that when he was cooperating, he also hid some important information.”
Xiao Nan showed an unpleasant look on his face.
Nagato smiled lightly: “It’s human nature, if it were me, I would also hide some important information when cooperating, so that outsiders could not get it. But to be able to force him to this point, Miaomushan seems to have what he wants. It’s not small. A psychic beast holy place that should be in a neutral position has been hostile to the country of ghosts, and it doesn’t look like an immortal art coveting the holy place… The secrets inside are really curious.”
“Then… do we need to investigate Miaomu Mountain?”
Xiao Nan felt that he could take advantage of this opportunity to grasp more trends in the country of ghosts and prepare for the future plan to capture tailed beasts.
Nagato shook his head and said: “These are just useless efforts, Bai Jue has also investigated these holy places in the past, but basically it is difficult to sneak in, or if you are lucky enough to sneak in, those Bai Jue will immediately disappear without a trace, even a No bubbles can come out. The water in the Holy Land is not necessarily shallower than the water in these big countries, or even deeper.”
If it weren’t for this, the country of ghosts would not come to seek cooperation, but chose to swallow Miaomu Mountain.
“Then your plan is…”
“Let me think about it. This cooperation is not a trivial matter. Even if it is me, I have to consider whether I can afford the price that I will face after failure. This time, it will not be as petty as before…”
A sacred place that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the Great Toad Immortal who can also be related to the Six Path Immortals… To be honest, Nagato thinks this is too difficult.
The deeper the ability of the eye of reincarnation, the more Nagato understands what the Six Path Immortals mean to this world.
Can a person who can make friends with the immortals of the Six Paths, and can chat and laugh together, be a simple existence?

“I thought itachi, where are you going, the original goal is the country of medicine.”
The ghost shark, who moved with Itachi, immediately understood where Itachi’s destination was when he saw the three huge hills in the distance.
So, the corners of his mouth grinned, revealing a wicked smile to outsiders.
Itachi, who was beside him, didn’t say a word, just quietly looking at the three hills in the distance.
Those three mountains are located in the center of the sea, so the two of them can only go there by boat.
Seeing that Itachi didn’t speak, and the ghost shark didn’t bother, just paddling and looking at the three hills on the sea with great interest.
According to the information he knows, this is a place called Wolf Crying Village. Many years ago, it was a large-scale ninja village. Like the ninja villages in other countries, it relies on tasks to earn living expenses.
However, because of the land where the Ninja Village is located, there are mountains and green fields, and various medicinal herbs can be collected. Therefore, it is also called the country of medicine by outsiders. But even if it is called a country, it is essentially just a village.
But because of the abundance of medicinal herbs, the ninjas in this ninja village began to become lazy. As the land was constantly rich in medicinal herbs, they could make a lot of money just by selling medicinal herbs, and the ninjas in the village became more and more useless… The declaration of neutrality was announced a few years ago, and it went directly from a ninja village to a gathering place for drug dealers who accumulated wealth by selling drugs.
It has to be said that this change made many people feel embarrassed.
The ghost shark knows this place because the country, or the village’s medicinal herb dealer is too famous. Even big countries send people here to buy a lot of medicinal materials every year, making the villagers here rich overnight.
Riding the boat soon came to land.
The ghost shark walked to the solid ground first, and Itachi then got off the boat and looked up at the mountain road in front of him.
A vermilion torii gate stood in front, with the words “Wolf Crying Eighty-Eight Gates” written on it.
The eyes swept to the mountain road, as if there were endless torii gates stretching up the slope.
The ghost shark joked: “Eighty-eight gates… Shouldn’t there be eighty-eight torii gates built here? Wouldn’t that mean that a total of eighty-eight worlds must be abandoned?”
Torii is the dividing point between the human world and the heaven. Even a shrine in the country of ghosts cannot build so many torii on its own shrine.
Besides, it used to be a ninja village, not a shrine.
“This represents the determination of the Wolf Crying Village as a neutral party.”
Itachi explained.
The ghost shark tilted his head.
Abandoning the eighty-eight worlds, does it mean that there is no competition with the world and complete neutrality?
I don’t understand what the people in this village think.
The reason why this place can remain neutral is only because the great powers currently hope that it will be neutral here. Once the big powers change their minds, the neutral position will not be able to protect it.
Oni shark followed Itachi through the torii gates along the **** of the mountain path.
The ghost sharks admired the beautiful scenery along the way. Although the villagers of this village have strange ideas, the reputation of being rich in medicinal herbs is not false. Before reaching the tenth torii gate, I saw that the mountain was full of all kinds of flowers and plants.
Even in winter, it is so beautiful that the ghost shark is surprised.
When you come to the top of the mountain, there is an entrance that has opened a huge gate, surrounded by tall walls, and only this entrance can enter.
Before entering the village, the ghost shark smelled the strange smell of countless medicinal herbs mixed in the air.
There are countless stalls on both sides of the street. In front of their stalls, vendors shout enthusiastically to attract customers.
Even the well-informed ghost shark was in trouble when he saw the medicinal herbs sold at the stall, and he knew only a very small number of herbs.
“Where the wolf cries, it deserves to be called the country of medicine.”
The ghost shark sighed softly.
There are many magnificent buildings here, and the villagers’ faces are full and ruddy.
It’s no wonder that in the past, big countries came here to purchase medicinal herbs, and it was completely reasonable for the villagers of this village to directly abandon ninjas, and even despise the existence of ninjas and open medicinal herb stores.
Being a ninja is worth a few dollars, and Ghost Shark can probably guess the psychology of these people.
“However, does it matter if we come in so swaggeringly?”
The ghost shark looked at the weasel.
“It doesn’t matter, this is a neutral party. As long as we don’t make trouble, they won’t drive us away.”
Itachi knows the rules here very well, even if he is a rebel, as long as he does not disturb the order, he will not be targeted.
The ghost shark was relieved after this. He didn’t want to be in a state of nervousness all day long, otherwise even he would feel tired.
Just then, there was a commotion in the front.
A group of men in uniform, surrounded a woman, and aimed something similar to a blowtorch at the woman, as if they wanted to attack.
“Is that the wandering witch from the land of ghosts?”
The ghost shark looked at the woman surrounded by the men. She was wearing a red and white witch costume, with a badge of Shion flower similar to her identity hanging around her waist. It was obviously a wandering witch from the land of ghosts.
“What do the people in this village want?”
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 country of ghosts, but among the powers that are not afraid of the country of ghosts, this is definitely not included.
Or, can you act recklessly if you think you are a neutral party?
Itachi glanced at it and said in a low voice, “In the Wolf Cry, someone in the past refined something called Green Fire Powder…”
“Qinghuofen? I remember it was…”
“It is said that it is the main ingredient for refining the elixir that cures all diseases and immortality. However, after mixing with water, the green fire powder will explode violently. The people of this village use the green fire powder to develop its power. A decent firearm, repelling the attacks of wandering ninjas many times.”
“Then why do you want to be with the country of ghosts…”
“Because the country of ghosts blocked their way of making money. It even claimed that the firearm technology of the country of ghosts was developed by stealing their green fire powder technology, and they have repeatedly asked the country of ghosts to make reasonable compensation.”
“…”
The ghost shark was speechless.
But think about it, now the arms business in the country of ghosts is very popular in all countries. In contrast, firearms technology is still in its infancy, and it is not satisfactory in this regard. As the saying goes, blocking people’s way of wealth is like killing one’s parents. The arms trade in the country of ghosts obviously greatly damaged the interests of the wolf cry.
In addition, the Wolf Crying Village has close relations with some major countries, and it began to become defiant. For them, even if they offend the country of ghosts, it is not a big deal. A group of greedy businessmen who can do anything for money.
“Ghost shark, we will be separated here next, I need to buy some medicine.”
Itachi is not very interested in the dispute between the wolf crying and the country of ghosts, or in other words, he is not interested in all disputes.
After explaining this sentence, Itachi walked straight forward.
The ghost shark watched Itachi leave, and set his eyes on the wandering witch who was arguing with the guards in the Wolf Cry. Then he turned his attention to another place and began to buy the medicine he needed.

Three days passed in a flash.
Yuyin Village, in the conference room.
Nagato meets Shiraishi in person here again.
After three days of deliberation, Nagato had already made his choice. Therefore, before Nagato could speak first, Shiraishi asked first:
“Your Excellency Nagato, three days have passed, can you give me an accurate answer now?”
To this question, Nagato did not answer, but asked: “Before that, I want to ask, what are the chances that you and I will join forces to win Miaomu Mountain?”
Shiraishi said without hesitation, “Ninety percent.”
Nagato’s face didn’t change, but his voice was a little lower: “I need to hear the truth.”
“Nine percent.”
Shiraishi is the answer.
As for whether he cheated Nagato, only he knew clearly.
Nagato did not comment 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 for a long time.
“If your Excellency Nagato has any request, please put it forward.”
“Unfortunately, I didn’t ask for anything.”
Nagato gave such an answer.
Shiraishi frowned.
Nagato looked directly into Shiraishi’s eyes and said, “Actually, no matter what the winning rate is, it is very difficult for me to agree to the cooperation deal proposed by Mr. Shiraishi this time. For me, the risk to take is too great. Our country of rain. It’s not like the country of ghosts has a great cause, and a failure is only a little bit of a move.”
“Lord Nagato means…”
“I refuse to cooperate.”
Nagato answered calmly.
This was a decision he made after careful consideration.
Because no matter whether he captures Miaomu Mountain or not, he has to take the huge risk that he will be exposed in advance.
The serious consequences of this part cannot be compensated for by this petty profit.
On the contrary, as long as he goes step by step, he can gain powerful power step by step, and there is absolutely no need to take risks to acquire any magic.
“If it’s because the conditions are not enough, I can make more profits on the basis of the previous…”
“This is not directly related to Rangli. I’m sorry, Mr. Shiraishi, you came here in vain. I’m sorry about the cooperation…”
Nagato was unmoved.
His current accumulation is not enough, and he will not be able to stand in front of the stage until the tailed beast project reaches the final stage.
Akatsuki in the past became a **** used by others in the war because he acted too recklessly.
Because Hanzo also stood in front of the stage, the Land of Rain was targeted by various countries.
These are all **** examples of failures. If you want to achieve great things, you must have enough patience and not rush for success.
“…No, I took the liberty to interrupt.”
Shiraishi sighed and did not continue to entangle.
This originally belonged to the country of ghosts. Nagato did not want to intervene, and he also had his own considerations.
Replacing his position, he may not agree to such a risky request for cooperation.
Since Nagato refused to cooperate, there was no point in staying here.
Shiraishi decisively left with Kazuhime.
“What’s next, old man?”
Putting on the raincoat that she had put on, she walked outside Yuyin Village, and Yiji turned her head and asked.
“You can’t count on Yuyin Village, so you can only start from other places.”
Shiraishi looked at the gray sky, and the raindrops fell on his face, bringing an icy chill.
“Other places? Are there any partners to consider?”
“Longdi Cave.”
Shiraishi said the name.
“Longdi Cave? The third holy place other than Shibone Forest and Miaomu Mountain?”
Ichiki was surprised.
“Well, I heard from the living scorpion that the white snake fairy in Longdi Cave seemed to have some festivals 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 meet after encountering them. Sex fights. Maybe that can be exploited.”
Shiraishi said what he knew.
“In other words, use the Holy Land to contain the Holy Land?”
“Yes, this is also a feasible solution. But to convince the White Snake Immortal, I am afraid it is not that simple, and I can only try my best.”
“If that’s the case, let’s go take a look.”
Yi Ji was eager to try it, wanting to see the style of the Holy Land.
“No need, I’ll go alone this time. Now there is something for you to do.”
Shiraishi rejected Ichiki’s companion.
“What’s up?”
Kazuhime asked curiously.
“Have you heard of this village in the Wolf Crying Village?”
“That country of medicine? What happened there?”
Kazuki suddenly remembered where the wolf cry is.
It is one of the largest supply bases of medicinal materials in the ninja world, and has close business relations with many countries in the ninja world. Even in the land of ghosts, occasionally go there to purchase medicinal materials, and then ship them back to the country to make medicines.
“The medicinal materials procurement team that went there before was attacked by unknown people. There were more than a dozen wounded, one died, and the purchased medicinal materials were also looted. After investigation by the Wandering Witch, it was secretly done by some powerful people in the wolf cry. Good thing, you go there and ask them to hand over the murderer and the perpetrator and make them pay accordingly.”
Shiraishi stared at Kazuhime’s face and said to her.
“That’s it, then I’ll go over and deal with it.”
Ichiki thought for a while, then nodded lightly.
Afterwards, Kazuhime and Shiraishi separated and disappeared in the rain.
Staring in the direction where Kazuhime left~www.mtlnovel.com~ Shiraishi looked back and turned to another direction.
“Longdi Cave, Immortal White Snake, I hope this time I won’t be disappointed… Before that, I have to go to meet Liuli.”
Unlike Shibone Forest and Miaomu Mountain, Longdi Cave is a notorious place for psychic beasts.
The snake-like psychic beasts living there are not only cruel, but also bloodthirsty and warlike.
To put it simply, the only condition for talking to them on an equal basis is to force them to identify with them. If they cannot be satisfied with strength, they will only become food in the mouth of the giant snake.
If you want to fight to get a ticket to see the White Snake Immortal, then Liuli is the best candidate.
After all, he’s just a medical ninja, not very proficient in combat.
Professional things, or let the professionals handle it.
