The alliance of other countries is not within the scope of Shiraishi's fear. Only the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder are a very important issue.

One has the most powerful heritage of a traditional power, and the other has the most powerful military expansion ambition of a traditional power.

If these two countries reach a cooperation agreement, it will not be a good thing for the Kingdom of Ghosts.

After the talks, there will be a need to continue to divide the relationship between the two countries.

At least now we can't let the Fire Country and the Thunder Country unite.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that the Fire Country and Konoha would actually agree to come over for talks. Logically speaking, they wouldn't agree so easily."

Ayane sighed while eating hot food.

"This is not surprising. This is not the time eight or nine years ago when the Fourth Hokage of Konoha first came to power. Under the dual pressure of external fighting and internal consumption, Konoha's power has declined very seriously. The management of many departments has become rigid.

The situation is no longer the same as before, so the external tone will naturally not be too tough."

Liuli felt that Ayane was making too much fuss.

The current international situation is obviously different from the past.

The Fire Nation and Konoha will definitely not implement development policies according to the same set of strategies as in the past.

That's why I agreed to this meeting.

Even the Uchiha clan, which has a longer heritage, has experienced many ups and downs.

Time is the most terrifying force in the world.

In the earliest history of the Uchiha clan, the clan's prestige was even higher than that of the nation as a whole, and the clan's power was used to dominate the will of the entire country.

As a result, during the Warring States Period, the Uchiha clan could only be reduced to mercenaries for various countries.

In terms of historical inheritance, the Fire Nation and Konoha, which are not as good as the Uchiha clan, declined during their peak period. Although it is surprising, it is not a puzzling thing.

"It is very difficult to give up one's own pride. However, it is precisely this kind of Konoha that is meaningful to target. If we wait for them to recover, we will be the unlucky ones."

Ayane smiled.

To her, the best enemy in the world is a dead enemy.

"Okay, we've almost finished our meal, let's start on the road."

As he said this, Shiraishi sneezed again.

It seems that this cold will not be cured in a short time.

Liuli and Ayane did not object. Ayane, who always had a big appetite, only ate half full. Under Shiraishi's urging, she quickly set off on her way.

After leaving the small town in the Country of Birds, the three of Shiraishi headed all the way to the Country of Rain.

I don't know how much time has passed, but the sky looks darker than before, the black clouds have become extremely thick, the temperature has also continued to drop, and there is a cold humidity in the air.

The three of Shiraishi knew that the three of them were very close to the Kingdom of Rain, and only there had the same abnormal weather as the Kingdom of Snow.

One has snow all year round, and the other has rain all year round. However, compared to the Land of Rain, which is at the center of war between major powers, the Land of Snow is located in a corner of the ninja world, and has enjoyed a long period of peace.

"We are about to reach the border of the Kingdom of Rain. As agreed, I..."

In the dull atmosphere, Ayane suddenly spoke, and when she was about to do something, she suddenly saw Shiraishi, who was taking the lead, stop and glance at the rock on one side.

Liuli and Ayane's expressions darkened slightly, and they realized something. They were being followed.

"Roll your eyes!"

Ayane opened her Byakugan, penetrated the barrier of the rock, and looked directly behind the rock.

Baishi held his brows helplessly, and said in the direction of the rock: "Come out, I thought it was just a chance encounter on the road, so I kept silent until now. Looking at it now, it's not like that."

After Shiraishi spoke, a frog jumped out from behind the rock and stood in front of Shiraishi and the others.

I saw the frog's mouth wide open, first an arm stretched out from it, and then the whole person appeared from the frog's small body, standing not far in front of the three people of Shiraishi, just blocking the way of the three people.

"So, what do you plan to do when you appear in front of us now, Jiraiya-sama?"

Shiraishi called out the identity of the person in an expected tone.
