After the talks in the Rain Country, the structure of the ninja world was readjusted.

The Daming Mansion of the Country of Fire, in the form of an official announcement, is willing to transfer the honorary title of the leader of the five major countries to the Country of Thunder.

Similarly, Konoha has made the same decision as the Fire Country Daimyofu, realizing that the military strength of the village has seriously declined. Therefore, in a very euphemistic way, it will respect Kumogakure Village in important events that determine major events in the ninja world.

Decide.

It is also a disguised form of stepping down from the throne of the Strongest Ninja Village and leaving it to the Cloud Hidden Village.

Although this so-called strongest does not actually have any rule effect, the so-called reputation of the country and the Ninja Village is also a very important part of the reason why the great powers are fighting each other.

The Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Fire have been fighting to the death for decades just to gain the top spot in the ninja world. Now with the help of the Kingdom of Oni, it can be considered as a wish, and the long-cherished wish of decades has been fulfilled.

In this regard, the Land of Thunder and Kumogakure also expressed their hope for peace with the Country of Fire and Konoha. After returning to the village, Raikage immediately issued an order to evacuate the Kumogakure ninja regiment stationed at the border of Yuno Country.

, which made Konoha breathe a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, the relationship between the two countries and the two ninja villages seems to be much harmonious on the surface.

But from a competitive perspective, the bad blood between the two countries and the two ninja villages has deepened.

This is exactly what Shiraishi wants to achieve.

As traditional super-large countries, the five major countries have a population, territory, and resources that are powerful lords that cannot be matched by small countries.

If the five major countries do not carry out separatist actions, it will not be so easy for the Kingdom of Ghosts to truly enter the stage of history.

There is another thing, that is, among the five major countries, the country of fire, the country of thunder, the country of earth and the country of water, the daimyo of the four countries, as well as the shadow of the shinobi village, jointly expressed their willingness to admit that the country of ghosts is the sixth

The identity of a great country.

After that, the Kingdom of Wind also spoke up, complied with the voices of the four major countries, and recognized the status of the Kingdom of Ghosts as the sixth largest nation.

However, due to the special national system of the Kingdom of Oni, the military force representing the country is not the ninja village, but the military. The military of the Kingdom of Oni is a mixture of soldiers formed by ninjas and ordinary people. Therefore, the Five Kage system has not been formed.

Six shadow system.

According to known information, the number of troops in the Kingdom of Demons reaches more than 100,000.

However, the proportion of ninjas in the army is only one tenth, less than 10,000 people.

Comparing the number of over 10,000 ninjas in the five major ninja villages, the Kingdom of Oni does have a shortcoming in the training of ninjas.

However, compared with small countries, the power of the Ghost Country has reached more than one level.

Therefore, when the five major powers jointly announced that the Kingdom of Oni had become the sixth largest country, the daimyo of the other small countries also expressed their congratulations and sent envoys to the Kingdom of Oni to meet with the miko.

Rather than congratulations, the powerful armed force of the coveted ghost country is what these small countries really want.

Twenty Amegakure ninjas, with the help of their weapons, easily crushed and massacred 800 ninjas from the Land of Fire.

For a small country that is weak and has no military strength, if the Ghost Country can sell these extremely lethal weapons, it will at least have enough confidence to speak out in the international community, so that it will not be arbitrarily manipulated by big countries.

◎

To receive foreign missions, Shiraishi, the military minister, does not need to personally receive them. Unless it is a mission at the level of the five major countries or a mission from a small country, it is enough to let the diplomats from the government handle it.

As for selling weapons to small countries, this is still under consideration.

Trading arms is definitely a way to get rich, but it will inevitably be blocked by people from the five major countries.

After all, in the previous year, the traditional five major countries had sent missions to negotiate with the Kingdom of Ghosts, hoping that the weapons of the Kingdom of Ghosts would not be sold to small countries.

It's just that the Kingdom of Ghosts has been delaying, so it can provide the Amegakure ninja with new weapons and defeat the ninja army of the Kingdom of Fire.

But with the end of this war, the great powers have a more intuitive view of the new weapons of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Their idea of ​​prohibiting the Kingdom of Ghosts from selling arms to small countries has become even stronger.

Even the Kingdom of Iron, which remained neutral, sent a mission here, hoping that the Kingdom of Demons would comply with the wishes of the other major powers and avoid destroying the inherent balance of the ninja world.

That's right, in order to maintain peace, no class can cross.

This also made Shiraishi understand better that the ninja world is a hierarchical country.

People and countries only need to stay in their own fields and complete their work throughout their lives. Breaking down the hierarchy will inevitably be counterattacked by secular agreements.

The idea of ​​Iron Kingdom is simple and easy to understand.

Because the weapons of the Kingdom of Ghosts are not sold to small countries, then the cold weapons business of the Kingdom of Iron can continue to be maintained.

The daimyos, nobles, and military of the Iron Kingdom all rely on selling their country's arms to make ends meet.

If the Ghost Kingdom's arms are sold to small countries on a large scale, the Iron Kingdom's arms trading system will suffer an unprecedented blow, leading to national financial difficulties.

"I don't work hard to improve the country's environment, but I ask others to stay put and maintain the so-called balance. This is really..."

When Shiraishi saw the letter from the Daimyo of the Iron Country, his mood was undoubtedly complicated.

It also means that the road ahead for the Kingdom of Ghosts will be even more difficult.

He just messed up a small country called the Country of Waves, invested a lot of money in it with no idea whether it would be recouped, and completely turned against the Country of Fire, which also alerted the Country of Thunder.

The so-called carp leaps over the dragon's gate. In a world where levels are solidified, Shiraishi has deeply understood how difficult it is.

In this world where people's wisdom is not yet widespread, even the common people at the bottom don't have the idea of ​​​​struggle upward.

Only when you reach a dead end will you think of resisting.

At first, he also wanted to carry out reforms in the Kingdom of Waves in a gentle way.

However, reforming a country's most fundamental system, and even the ruling class, will inevitably be accompanied by violence and war.

Peaceful evolution is only a beautiful thing that exists in ideals, but in fact it is simply not possible.

If the people at the bottom are not forced into desperation, they will not think about whether the hierarchy of this world should be like this.

If you take this path, you will either break the inherent tradition or die in the struggle.

The Kingdom of Waves will continue to be in turmoil, and the Kingdom of Fire will not stop here.

That is the gateway to the Kingdom of Fire. It is not in the interests of the Kingdom of Fire to allow the Kingdom of Ghosts to invade it at will.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Ghosts can no longer use the Kingdom of Thunder. The Kingdom of Earth is on the sidelines and the Kingdom of Water will not intervene too much due to various reasons.

Next, the Kingdom of Ghosts will face the combined power of the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind.

If you are not careful, the country of Waves may fall into a situation of eternal disaster, and the organized migrant workers will be massacred by ninjas.

This is the cruelty of resistance.

He could die at any time.

Indeed, in Shiraishi's view, as far as feudal rulers are concerned, they hope that civilians will always be civilians and nobles will always be nobles.

Ignorant people can just remain ignorant for the rest of their lives.

This is conducive to upper-level rule.

But to develop national strength, we must apply knowledge and wisdom.

This is where conflicts arise with the feudal ruling class.

Because ignorant people will not have any knowledge and wisdom. Therefore, in a world with fixed hierarchies, the development of a country's power will always be slow, and there may even be regression and stagnation.

To facilitate governance, the hierarchy must be fixed.

It is conducive to the country's strength to return to the weapon called knowledge, but new technologies created with knowledge will impact the original ruling class.

It’s not that Shiraishi doesn’t understand the idea of ​​the Iron Kingdom.

But a country's development cannot rely on the idea of ​​restricting other countries' technology.

Because the technology of the Ghost Country cannot be stopped, it will become more fighting spirit under the external blockade.

However, with this inherent thought, even if Shiraishi said it, he did not think that the daimyo of the Iron Country would do this, as it would harm the interests of the daimyo and the nobles.

Moreover, the most important ones behind this are the five major countries.

The last thing they want is for weapons from the Kingdom of Ghosts to spread to small countries.

"The pressure is much greater than imagined..."

Shiraishi frowned.

There are many ways to break the situation, so how to arrange the next policy?

Because his decision will affect the lives and deaths of many people.

Resistance requires sacrifice, but unnecessary sacrifice is meaningless.

This is a long-term struggle, and the outcome cannot be decided in a short time.

Just as Shiraishi was thinking about this, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

Shiraishi relaxed his brows and looked towards the door.

A pretty adult woman appeared there, walked in calmly from the door, smiled at Shiraishi and said, "Teacher Shiraishi, I'm back. Are you still working?"

"It's you, Lin. What, are you and Obito's trip over?"

Baishi calmed down and asked with a smile.

Seeing his long-lost student, Shiraishi's mood rarely improved.
