Cold fog floats on the sea. In the white cold fog, a huge cruise ship is anchored on the sea.

Looking around, there is not a single island in sight. There are all bottomless cold fog and freezing air, which means that this place is inaccessible.

This is a sea area located in the northern part of the Snow Country. Due to the special ice and snow environment of the Snow Country, the air in the sea area is much colder than in other sea areas.

Although the near-zero temperature is a place that ordinary people are reluctant to approach, for ninjas, such temperatures are still within the tolerance range.

Ninjas who can freely use chakra are much stronger than ordinary people in terms of their ability to withstand the cold.

On this super large cruise ship with a total length of more than 100 meters, all the people gathered on it were ninjas.

Even on the nearby sea shrouded in cold fog, a ninja would stand guard every twenty meters, surrounding the place like an iron barrel.

The ninjas gathered here belong to four different camps.

Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and the Demon Country military.

Four ninjas from different countries gather here.

"Really, why is the meeting place in this barren land? You young people don't take care of me, an old man, at all."

The complaints from the third Tsuchikage Onoki resounded in the heated conference room.

Before Tsuchikage Onoki entered, three people were already sitting in the conference room.

Chiba Shiraishi, the military leader of the Demon Country.

The Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure·Ai.

The Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Tangachi Yagura.

In today's ninja world, every one of them is a big shot who can cause international turmoil just by stamping his feet.

The standards of the meeting were only lower than those of the Five Shadows Conference.

"Stop complaining here, Mr. Ohnoki. Compared to the Kingdom of Earth, I traveled a long way to get here."

Yagura sighed helplessly.

Behind him were the Kirigakure jounin Ao, and the Kirigakure jounin Mangetsu Kito, who was also known as a child prodigy.

"Didn't you expect that even Kirigakure got involved? It seems that this time he is serious about it."

Onoki raised his eyebrows. Although he knew the specific people who came to participate in this meeting, the diplomatic methods of the Demon Country still made him feel a little confused when Kirigakure Village was actually brought in.

After all, the current situation is different from the previous war in the Kingdom of Wind, and it has isolated Konoha and Sunagakure.

Ohnoki could also guess a thing or two about Shiraishi's purpose of doing this.

I hope to divide the ninjas of the five major countries to ensure that the Kingdom of Demons will not be besieged.

However, Ohnoki didn't think it mattered about this situation.

Anyway, the transactions with Sunagakure and Konoha are only based on interests.

If the Kingdom of Oni can offer a better reward, then selling Sunagakure and Konoha is not something that cannot be considered.

After all, the Daimyo of the Earth Kingdom found him and asked him to participate in this meeting, and he already had the intention to part ways with the Fire Kingdom.

You can gain benefits by joining forces with the Country of Fire, and you can also gain benefits by joining forces with the Country of Ghosts, and the Country of Ghosts can give you more, so it is naturally more cost-effective to abandon the Country of Fire.

The only pity is that Kirigakure is also brought in. In this way, the benefits are not three-fold, but four-fold.

Considering the enemies to be dealt with next, it would be a good choice for all four parties to share the responsibility.

Now Iwagakure is very short of military development funds.

Even if it has to be divided equally with the Daimyos of the Land of Earth in the future, it will be enough to increase the overall strength of Iwagakure Village and cultivate more outstanding ninjas.

Following Ōnoki came his son Huangtu, and another powerful Iwagakure Jonin, who served as Ōnoki's bodyguard this time.

But there must be more than just that. Secretly, there are also master ANBU from various hidden villages. There are no less than fifty Jonin gathered here, both covertly and covertly.

Moreover, among jounin, they all belong to the elite level, possessing secret techniques and special abilities limited by blood inheritance.

"Now that you're here, don't be there, mother-in-law, and start the meeting quickly."

The Fourth Raikage crossed his arms in front of his chest and snorted dissatisfied.

Behind the Raikage, the guards are Kumogakure jounin Darui and Nozomi, who are considered loyal confidants of the Fourth Raikage.

Ohnoki glanced at the rude Fourth Raikage and glared slightly at him, but didn't say anything.

Huangtu took the initiative to move the seat, and Onoki sat on it calmly, placing his Tsuchikage hat in front of him.

"Speaking of which, isn't the girl with white eyes the one who came here this time?"

Ohnoki glanced at Shiraishi, who was closing his eyes to relax, slightly curious.

The guard standing behind Shiraishi is not Ayane or Ruri.

Instead, she is a young girl wearing a miko costume, who is Shiraishi's wind-attribute clone, Tianyu Girl.

The other person was a yang-type avatar who was dozing off and was less than the height of the conference table. He was holding a spear that was taller than the others.

"The situation in the Kingdom of Ghosts is a bit unstable, and we need strong people to take charge."

Shiraishi answered calmly.

After all, it was done by those in the underground black market.

There were too many bounty hunters lurking in. Although most of them were eliminated, there were still some fish that slipped through the net and were not caught.

And as the conflict escalates, the friction between the underground black market and the Kingdom of Ghosts is also increasing.

"You don't have to worry about small characters like that. If the Kingdom of Ghosts does this, isn't it a bit too lenient?"

A smile appeared on Ohnoki's face, like a kind and cute little old man.

Indeed, he had heard a little bit about the contradiction between the underground black market and the Kingdom of Ghosts.

In the final analysis, this is because the Kingdom of Ghosts itself has too much control.

Moreover, this kind of thing is impossible to ban.

In the past, the five major countries had not thought about eradicating the underground black market, but in the end they found that it was impossible to eradicate it no matter what.

Because this is just a platform, as long as there are still people around, this thing can never be cleaned up.

If anyone in the existing ninja village knows the underground black market the best, it is Iwagakure.

In the past during the Great Ninja War, Iwagakure had used mercenaries from the underground black market more than once, causing a lot of trouble to various countries.

"Lord Tsuchikage, do you think the existence of this kind of platform is reasonable?"

Shiraishi asked.

Onoki stopped talking. Is that reasonable?

Of course it is unreasonable.

As a Tsuchikage, Onoki knew exactly what the underground black market represented.

However, the existence of this kind of platform is tacitly approved by the daimyo and nobles of the five major countries, and in many cases, this platform has indeed brought a lot of benefits to the five major countries, so it is allowed to exist.

However, the reward system of the underground black market is incompatible with the system of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and it is a natural conflict.

Because the military in the Kingdom of Ghosts has too tight control over the civilian population.

From important cities, to towns, and finally to villages, special security forces have been set up in all areas to coordinate the country's security in one place.

If the underground black market were to operate within the Kingdom of Ghosts, it would inevitably cause civil chaos in the Kingdom of Ghosts and conflict with the country's security forces.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Ghosts has the advantage of attacking first.

The underground black market has encountered unprecedented crowding out in the western part of mainland China, and its market share has been reduced.

Seeing that Onoki didn't speak, Shiraishi didn't say anything either. Some things were still not suitable to be discussed openly, including this meeting.

That’s why it’s done secretly here, and the shadows who come to participate all understand this.

At this time, Baishi gestured to Tianyu Nu behind him.

Tianyu Nu nodded slowly, walked to the side and pressed the button.

Once the lights in the conference room dimmed, only the lights in an area around the conference table were still on.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. The purpose of why I'm anxious for the three of you to come this time is very simple, that is, to target the merchant alliance on the isolated island. According to the intelligence I have collected, as well as the top-secret information provided by some informants inside the isolated island,

Information, this business alliance, is plotting a terrible conspiracy to control the country. This kind of behavior has seriously hindered international security. If it is not targeted now, it will definitely encourage the ambitions of some unscrupulous businessmen in the future and let them follow suit. This kind of thing

, it’s something you don’t want to see.”

Shiraishi said first.

This is what the official say is, but the truth behind it is the key point.

The Country of Fire plans to devour the merchant alliance on the isolated island and take control of the Country of Waves at the same time.

The Kingdom of Ghosts discovered the purpose of the Kingdom of Fire, so they initiated this secret meeting.

The four countries of Ghost, Thunder, Earth, and Water were united to take the lead in wiping out the merchant alliance on the isolated island, dividing up the wealth of the isolated island, and at the same time disrupting the situation in the Country of Waves, giving the Country of Fire

Add chaos.
