When I got home, it happened to be evening.

I met with Yagura in the morning to discuss the future simplicity plan, and then had a meal with Yagura, my collaborator, at noon, and then sent him to the Land of Ghosts.

After all, Yagura's identity is sensitive. Even if he comes to the Kingdom of Demons this time as an official envoy, if he stays for too long, it may arouse some people's suspicions.

When dealing with the power of the five major countries, Shiraishi was still cautious and did not dare to be careless.

After that, I worked for a half day in the afternoon, which actually wasn’t as long as half a day. By about three o’clock in the afternoon, I had already finished the work.

When he first came to the Kingdom of Ghosts three years ago, Shiraishi was still very busy with various government affairs. After everything was on track, his subordinates performed their duties and assigned the work well, and he seemed to have more time than he needed.

In the two-story single-family villa, Lei Mingwan was lying in the pet house in the courtyard to guard the door, Tianyu Nu was busy with housework, and the Water Dragon God shrank in size and swam happily in the pool.

There are three clones guarding the house at all times, which makes Shiraishi feel more at ease.

When he entered the house, Shiraishi did not see Liuli, only Ayane sitting in the living room, and Tianyu Nu who was busy in the kitchen making dinner.

"Welcome back, Shiraishi-kun. You come back relatively early these days."

Ayane said with a smile while sitting on the sofa.

"Because the things there can be handled well by the people below. I don't want to raise some incompetent subordinates who only eat and don't work."

This is Shiraishi's view.

The abilities of subordinates are different, and their priorities are also different. This cannot be changed, but the sense of participation is a very important experience.

A sense of participation will give people a sense of identity.

"Speaking of which, isn't Liuli at home?"

"Ruri went to Aunt Miyoko's place and said she wouldn't be back tonight. Asuka and Kazuhime were also taken there."

Ayane answered Shiraishi's question.

The flying birds and Yi Ji she mentioned were the children of Bai Shi and Liu Li.

Following the idea that boys take their mother's surname and girls take their father's surname, the children's names are Uchiha Asuka and Chiba Kazuhime.

Unlike Kazuki, who is a natural alien, Asuka, as the eldest son, is no different from an ordinary Uchiha baby.

After all, if Kazuhime's unusual talent can be considered the norm, then the Uchiha clan's bloodline would be too terrifying.

Shiraishi nodded in understanding and did not ask further.

"So, there are only two of us tonight, Shiraishi-kun can bully me as much as he wants."

Ayane showed an ambiguous smile on her face, as if she was deliberately tempting Shiraishi to commit a crime.

After Liuli left, Ayane couldn't control her turbulent heart and body.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing in the evening. My stomach is a little empty now."

Shiraishi smiled bitterly, tonight was another day to pay public food, I hope Ayane won't bother until it's too late.

"Tianyu Girl is already cooking there. Speaking of which, it's been a lot more comfortable outside recently. Things seem to be going smoothly over there in Konoha. I really want to go over there and add some more fire to make Konoha's new leaves burn brighter.

.”

Ayane is very concerned about things in Konoha.

First, Sunagakure withdrew from the battlefield of Konoha, and then Iwagakure was forced to sign an armistice agreement with Konoha. Now only Kumogakure and Konoha are left to confront each other.

According to the momentum that Konoha has shown recently, Kumogakure may not be able to benefit from Konoha's hands.

"Don't mess around at this time. I have more important things for you to do next. Konoha's current battle damage has been very serious. Even if it defeats Kumogakure, it will not be able to vacate it in the next few years.

Take action against us."

Because next, Konoha will fall into extremely complicated political infighting, and its own people will not be able to unify, let alone deter external forces.

From the information transmitted back from Kakashi, Shiraishi already knew that the root leader Shimura Danzo was already making plans in secret.

Coupled with the post-war settlement issues of the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan, it was enough to give the Third Hokage and the others a headache for a while.

"What about the Kingdom of Water?"

Ayane had no choice but to suppress her eager heart.

"Yakura talked to me in the morning. He still needs some time to prepare. Now the Kingdom of Ghosts only needs to develop step by step and according to the plan. Before the official action, try to avoid unnecessary complications."

Shiraishi answered Ayane's question.

"If I remember correctly, the next step should be to deal with the Country of Wind. Is it really necessary to take action against that country that is full of sand?"

Ayane's sense of the Country of Wind is not very good. In her impression, the interior of that country is either sand or sand, and it is basically a barren land.

"I have secretly sent people to investigate. There are important resources that the Kingdom of Ghosts is in urgent need of. However, before taking action against the Kingdom of Wind, some obstacles on the road need to be cleared. I will complete the arrangements in the near future."

Ayane believes that Shiraishi can do these tasks well. This man has never let him down since he was a child, except for one thing.

Therefore, I stopped worrying about Shiraishi.

Today is a rare world for two people, and Ayane no longer asks about these embarrassing things at work.

After eating a sumptuous dinner prepared by Tianyu Nu, she accompanied Baishi to read in the study for a while, and then the two of them entered the bedroom and began a wonderful night life.

Shiraishi was already familiar with Ayane's body, but it would bring him a different experience every time.

That kind of broad-mindedness that can integrate a man's body into it, and even drown it, is something Liuli can't compare to.

Well... to sum it up in one sentence, it is too majestic and spectacular.

Time soon came to May.

Konoha and Kumogakure are completely at war with each other.

Kumogakure is far more difficult to deal with than Iwagakure, and the most important point is that there seem to be ninjas in Kumogakure who master high-level space-time ninjutsu and can transfer materials in the camp at will. It is said that Konoha's yellow flash wave Feng Shuimen

, they attacked Kumogakure’s camp several times in succession, but failed to destroy Kumogakure’s supplies.

Kumogakure's actions undoubtedly proved that Konoha's methods against the other ninja villages were ineffective against Kumogakure.

It is estimated that the other ninja villages were also wary of Kumogakure's power when Konoha was locked in a bitter battle.

Before the battle with Kumogakure, Konoha had been confronting Sunagakure and Iwagakure for a long time. In fact, they were already exhausted, and they had to pay a heavy price for repelling Sunagakure and Iwagakure ninjas.

Under such circumstances, we still have to grit our teeth and persist in fighting Kumogakure. Generally speaking, Konoha is now in a state of decline.

This situation cannot be changed in a short time even after the yellow flash enters the Cloud Hidden battlefield.

The battle between Kumogakure and Konoha will naturally not affect the Demon Country where Shiraishi is located.

His current focus is not on the battle between Konoha and Kumogakure, but on the next strategic layout of the Demon Country.

At this moment, after the reforms in the Kingdom of Ghosts in recent years, various industries are full of vitality and are in a period of rapid development.

In particular, economic and military power are advancing at an extremely fast speed.

However, limited by territory and population, it is still a long way from becoming a major country.

Population means productivity, and territory means resource production, which are all areas that Shiraishi attaches great importance to.

The next strategy of the Kingdom of Ghosts, in Shiraishi's opinion, is to focus on plundering the population and territory.

The only way to plunder population and territory is through war of external expansion.

However, the Kingdom of Oni is a neutral country. If it wants to expand the war, as Yagura said, there is no way to guarantee the neutral country's position.

To a certain extent, neutrality is both a protection and a restriction.

At least for the current Ghost Country, its status as a neutral country is a limitation.

Shiraishi has already predicted how to face the international situation of the ninja world in the future.

Weaken the military power of the Fire Nation and even Konoha.

Kirigakure will become a secret alliance and will not become an obstacle to the Kingdom of Demons.

Kumogakure is fighting Konoha, which can be regarded as completing the task of weakening Konoha's power for Shiraishi. At the same time, Kumogakure's power will also decrease as a result.

Onoki, the third generation Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, is sullen and has long lost his ambition to be enterprising. If the time comes to form an alliance to crusade the Demon Country, they will definitely sit on the sidelines.

As for Sunagakure... it is the easiest country to prey on among the five major countries, and its national power is the weakest among the five major countries.

At the same time, it is close enough to the Kingdom of Ghosts. It is vast and sparsely populated. There are many resources in the desert that Shiraishi wants but that have not yet been taken seriously by other countries——

oil.

But if you want to attack the Kingdom of Wind, you need to find a suitable excuse.

Now that I have found an excuse, there is another problem.

That is, the Kingdom of Ghosts is close to the Kingdom of Wind, but they are not bordering each other.

Only when the two countries are settled can we border the Kingdom of Wind.

The country of bears and the country of ghosts.

Among them, the Kingdom of Netherworld is influenced by the Kingdom of Ghosts, and the witch culture is relatively popular, which has always been ambiguous with the Kingdom of Ghosts.

The development of the Kingdom of Ghosts has also driven the economy of the Kingdom of Ghosts to a certain extent.
