Late August.

In the Kingdom of Wind, Feng Jian enters the city, and the envoys from the Kingdom of Ghosts arrive as promised.

According to the agreement, today is an important day for the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Wind to sign an armistice agreement and a compensation agreement.

Shiraishi also paid special attention to such a meeting. In order to ensure that no accidents occurred during the signing of the agreement, Ayane was sent out this time as the leader of the envoy group.

With Ayane as a deterrent, Sunagakure must not have dared to cause any accidents when signing the agreement.

The armistice agreement didn't say much. What was important was the compensation agreement. The Kingdom of Wind ceded the northwest region of the Kingdom of Wind, one hundred and twenty miles north of Fengjian City, to the Kingdom of Ghosts, and allowed for the next thirteen years in the Wind Kingdom.

See the army garrisoned in the city.

The Country of Wind, which lost the war, had no power to bargain.

With the signing of the two agreements, it also means that the neutral country protection status of the Ghost Country is no longer recognized internationally.

The western part of the mainland has also officially entered a situation where three military powers are confronting and balancing each other. The surrounding small countries are naturally more frightened and feel confused and uneasy about the changing situation in the future.

There are no longer a few small countries with this kind of uneasy mentality. Even the Kingdom of Wind, which lost the war, is still not a existence that small countries can compete with. Sunagakure's armed forces still leave small countries in the dust. And they defeated the Kingdom of Wind on the frontal battlefield.

Although the Ghost Country is not recognized as a 'big country', in the final analysis, a big country is just a title. As long as it has sufficient military deterrence, the Ghost Country is better than a big country even if it is not a big country.

The situation in the west is so turbulent, and you can imagine the difficult situation and position of a small country sandwiched between three powerful military powers.

In the palace of the city lord of Fengjian City, a large conference room is where the agreement between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Wind was signed.

Not only the two elders Chiyo and Ebizo, the senior advisors of Sand Hidden Village, but also several senior officials affiliated with the Daming Palace of the Kingdom of Wind, also gathered here.

The Kingdom of Ghosts sent out the same lineup. The military and government departments sent personnel together to stamp and sign the agreement.

Soon, Ayane took the two signed and signed agreements from the Kingdom of Wind in her hands. These two agreements had been verified by specialized personnel before and there were no problems.

Now it's just a formal formality.

"Speaking of which, the Sunagakure troops that invaded the border town of Oni Country were not completely wiped out. There are about two hundred people who survived and are now being held in a cell in Ziyuan City. If your country is willing

If you redeem those two hundred or so captives, we will also welcome them here. After all, the one named Maki is your young jounin with unlimited potential in Sunagakure."

Before preparing to leave, Ayane suddenly stopped and smiled at Chiyo.

"What did you say?"

Chiyo was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that the Sunagakure troops that initially attacked the Demon Country would still have prisoners.

Before, she thought that the entire army had been wiped out. Not only her, but the other senior officials of Sunagakure Village also speculated this way.

In the past ninja wars, both sides of the battle focused on annihilating the enemy ninja as much as possible. Even the ninja who lost the power to resist would give the final blow.

Because ninjas cannot use common sense to judge, even if they are dying, they still have the ability to use ninjutsu to kill people.

"What are you surprised about? Based on international humanitarianism, we will no longer wield the butcher's knife against those who have lost the power to resist on the battlefield... Isn't this a rule set by the five major powers a long time ago? Or have you forgotten it long ago?

"

Ayane said with a professional smile.

Then, ignoring the colorful and exciting changes in the expressions of Chiyo and others, he left the conference room with the delegation from the Kingdom of Demons and returned to the Kingdom of Demons to report to Shiraishi.

"Old man, I'm coming in!"

After shouting, Ichiki opened the door directly and entered the office where Shiraishi worked.

As soon as she entered the office, she saw that Shiraishi's face seemed a little unnatural, and there seemed to be nervous sweat on his face.

"Uh, it's you Yiji, why are you here?"

Shiraishi put his hands on the table, probably trying to stay calm.

Yiji looked at Shiraishi suspiciously and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Old man, you didn't do anything bad in there just now, did you?"

"Ahem, what you said is so rude, I have been processing the documents seriously."

Shiraishi's face regained his composure, and he glanced at Yiji with a slightly dissatisfied look.

"Yeah?"

Yi Ji still had some doubts, but she didn't ask too much.

"Okay, don't talk about anything else. What are you doing here? I remember you have a mission, right?"

Shiraishi asked about the business.

"Let me get the specific list of people who are going to the Country of Waves. After all, we are leaving in the afternoon."

Kazuki walked to the desk where Shiraishi was and talked about this matter.

After Shiraishi listened, he thought for a moment, then opened the drawer next to him and took out a sealed file bag, which was quite heavy.

He put the file bag in Yi Ji's hand, and then said: "There are twenty-six important people who will go to the Country of Waves with you this time. Each of their information is placed here. You can

Through these, you can get a general understanding of them. But how to do it specifically, you should do it in your own way."

Yiji nodded and asked again: "I understand, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"No special instructions. As the old saying goes, the Kingdom of Waves is an important part of the next layout, and because it is adjacent to the Kingdom of Fire, it can be expected that there may be some interference from the Kingdom of Fire in the future.

Therefore, try not to directly interfere with the affairs of the Kingdom of Waves. Even if you do, remember to take care of the tail. Otherwise, the layout of the Kingdom of Waves will appear very passive."

Shiraishi thought for a while and warned Kazuki.

"Konoha has too much time to take care of itself right now."

"Don't underestimate the heritage of the five major nations. They have ruled the ninja world for so many years. They have not only accumulated huge financial resources. If you don't take it seriously, you may suffer big losses. And through the previous war, the name of the Wind Country may have to be destroyed.

Inject more development funds into Sunagakure Village to deal with our country of ghosts."

Shiraishi looked serious.

Facing the Kingdom of Ghosts, each country takes different countermeasures. The Kingdom of Thunder chooses to sit back and watch the situation change.

The two countries of Wind and Earth have formed a joint posture, preparing to put pressure on the emerging Kingdom of Ghosts.

If the Kingdom of Fire were not too far away from the west, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Ghosts would have to face joint pressure from three huge forces. In that case, even Shiraishi would be in dire straits.

Even so, the Kingdom of Fire, which is far away in the middle of the continent, is wary of the Kingdom of Ghosts and is secretly preparing to build a bridge with the Kingdom of Wind.

Shiraishi had anticipated this situation at the beginning of the war with the Kingdom of Wind. Generally speaking, it was still within the controllable range. In addition, Kirigakure, a potential ally, could sometimes stand up to confuse the line of sight and mitigate the situation.

The pressure faced by the Kingdom of Ghosts.

What Shiraishi wants to wait for now is Akatsuki's actions, which will cause Konoha and other ninja villages to begin to shift their attention away from the Kingdom of Demons and focus their conflicts on the 'tailed beasts'.

"I already know these things, so I'll leave first. When I get to the Country of Waves, I will send a message back in real time."

With the latest communicator, information can be transmitted synchronously, so that the headquarters of the Kingdom of Demons can learn all the actions of the Kingdom of Waves in a timely manner. Therefore, in Ichiki's view, there is a possibility of unexpected events in the actions of the Kingdom of Waves.

Sex is still very low.

Yiji picked up the file bag and walked towards the door of the office. When she was about to walk out, she suddenly stopped, turned her head and smiled lightly at Shiraishi:

"Ah, by the way, old man, when you are alone, remember to pay more attention to your health, and don't forget to soak more wolfberry in hot water. This is good for your health."

After saying that, Yi Ji walked out of the office and closed the door.

"..."

Shiraishi did not comment on Ichiki's advice before leaving.

I am only thirty-two years old this year, far from the age where I need to drink wolfberry.

But it was a bit embarrassing for my daughter to see through it.

"Really, it makes me feel like I'm doing something inappropriate... This is just a very ordinary love novel."

Shiraishi explained to the air, and took out the things he had previously hidden from Kazuki.

It is a book - the second part of the "Intimate Heaven" series, and the latest play by the Sannin Jiraiya.

It was still a work completed in the prison of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Different from the first version of the manuscript that Ayane and I enjoyed together, the officially released version of "Intimate Love in Paradise" is obviously more delicate in writing, and many plots are more fascinating. It also contains a lot of new knowledge that Shiraishi did not see in the first version of the manuscript.

, which opened Shiraishi’s eyes.

Worthy of being a Sannin.

Although he defeated the Sannin in a head-on battle, he was easily convinced by the opponent's words.

Shiraishi deeply felt Jiraiya's noble spirit of placing his affection on words.

This charm cannot be described in precise words.

Therefore, Shiraishi believed that his battle with the Sannin Jiraiya was an evenly matched and exciting battle.

There are neither winners nor losers.

As we entered the tower, the sound of raindrops gradually became distant.

This is the tallest tower in Yuyin Village. It is not only the place where the current leader of Yuyin works and rests, but it is also the place where members of the organization "Akatsuki" hold secret gatherings.

Different from ordinary employment organizations, Xiao's organizational structure is very strict, especially for core members. While granting freedom, it also imposes some restrictions. For example, two people work in groups, which can not only cooperate with each other, but also prevent members from

defect.

In addition to the core members, there will also be an external framework, that is, peripheral personnel. Like Bai Jue, this group of personnel is responsible for intelligence and logistics work.

Today is another meeting day. Before the formal action of the organization, there is actually a lot of time. Unlike being impatient in doing other things, for the long and eternal life, Scorpio behaves very methodically and is not hurried or slow.

Follow the stairs toward the top of the tower.

This is the surplus that belongs to the eternal.

Even if he joins Xiao, in fact, from Xie's point of view, these are just scenery in his future eternal life.

And Orochimaru, who teams up with him, is also a guy who pursues 'eternity'.

Although Orochimaru is a weirdo who always spits out messy things from his mouth, Scorpio also recognizes Orochimaru's abilities because of his pursuit of 'eternity'. No matter how bad Orochimaru's character and bad taste are, he
