The military ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts also set up a strict cordon here in advance to prevent idlers from disturbing the normal progress of the talks.

Originally, Shiraishi also considered holding talks in Amegakure Village, but as soon as the idea was born, Nagato sternly rejected it.

Therefore, under the premise that the Daming Mansion of the Land of Rain is destroyed, we can only resort to the next best thing and choose a meeting location from another big city.

Arriving at the main entrance of the city lord's mansion, Shiraishi and the Fourth Raikage saw the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi arriving at the main entrance one step ahead. Next to the Third Hokage Hiruzen, he was followed by three people.

Konoha's two advisors moved to Koharu and Mito Monobu, as well as the Jonin squad leader Nara Shikaku.

It can be said that all the high-level officials of Konoha who can gather, except for the root leader Shimura Danzo, have gathered together.

This shows that Konoha and the Fire Nation attach great importance to this meeting.

"Long time no see, Hokage-dono, it's really hard for you to come all the way."

As the saying goes, if you reach out and don't hit someone with a smiling face, people who don't know how close the relationship between the two parties would be if they heard Shiraishi's concerned greetings.

Hiruzen knew that even if he was resentful in his heart, he still had to smile generously on his face to show that he didn't care about traveling so far. He must not let outsiders look down on his magnanimity as the Hokage.

"Two consultant elders, this is the first time we have met on such an occasion. It's been hard work coming all the way. The same goes for Shikakujounin."

Shiraishi also expressed his condolences to Koharu, Mito Monobu and Nara Shikaku.

As the initiator of the talks, even though I know that the following talks will be very intense, I still have to save face.

"It doesn't matter. After all, we are also ninjas, so this distance is not a problem."

Koharu's representative responded as he moved to bed, communicating with Shiraishi with a calm face, as if he didn't mind the existence of Shiraishi and Ruri, even though they were once S-class rebel ninjas wanted by Konoha.

"That's good. Okay, everyone, please go in and have a rest. The formal meeting will be held after nine o'clock in the evening."

Shiraishi said with a smile.

"Then I'll be disrespectful. Xi, Darui, Tutai, let's go in."

The Fourth Raikage and everyone in Konoha had nothing to reminisce about, so they called the names of the three of them and stepped into the mansion first.

"Yes, Raikage-sama. Then, Hokage-dono, Shiraishi-dono, I'll excuse you now."

Dodai bowed slightly, then followed the footsteps of the Fourth Raikage and headed to the mansion to rest temporarily. After traveling for such a long time, they also felt a little tired.

After Raikage and others entered the mansion, Shiraishi couldn't help sniffing again. The cold air outside made him very uncomfortable.

"Why don't you guys go in and fix it?"

After Baishi coughed for a while, he asked aloud.

"Ah, we still have some things to do here. Mr. Shiraishi seems to have caught a cold. I think it would be better to go in and get warm as soon as possible. If the illness is serious, it may prevent the meeting from going smoothly."

Shikaku noticed the fact that Shiraishi had a cold, and urged Shiraishi and Ruri to quickly enter the mansion to rest for a suitable reason so that no one would be suspicious.

"It doesn't matter. I'm a medical ninja and I can control my condition."

This made everyone present a little speechless.

It is precisely because he is a medical ninja and has a cold at this time that people feel that his words are not convincing at all.

However, since it was Shikaku's kindness, Shiraishi was embarrassed to refuse, nodded and said: "The air outside is indeed a bit cold, Liuli, let's go in to get warm. It's best not to stay outside for too long, I

A sumptuous dinner has been prepared, don’t forget to enjoy it.”

"Thanks for the reminder, we understand."

Baishi nodded slightly and entered the mansion through the main entrance with Liuli.

Just as he crossed the threshold, Shiraishi's steps suddenly stopped.

His actions attracted the attention of Hiruzen and others.

Before Hiruzen could ask, Shiraishi thought for a moment, turned his head and smiled at Hiruzen: "When I entered the door, I suddenly remembered that there was one thing I forgot to tell Mr. Hokage - that is Mr. Kazekage.

He won’t come anymore.”

"Varied……"

Mito Kadoyan was stunned for a moment. Before he could ask, he saw Koharu's warning look on his face and shut up immediately.

Ignoring Mito Kadobu's shocked expression, Shiraishi continued: "I don't like uninvited guests very much, so I asked someone to invite the Kazekage-dono to tea in advance so that no irrelevant people would disturb him.

The meeting is in progress. If Hokage-dono is planning to wait here for Kazekage-dono to arrive, then I think this is unnecessary. What do you think, Hokage-dono?"

In Shiraishi's view, Konoha's approach is completely unnecessary.

Do you really think that asking the Kazekage to join you can reduce the pressure during the meeting?

In order to promote the establishment of this meeting, he has spent so much effort, even at the expense of large sums of money, to win over the two big names from the Land of Earth and the Land of Water. How could he let the Kazekage come over at this time and disrupt the meeting?

Although a wind shadow is nothing to worry about, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the meeting, Shiraishi must eliminate all unexpected factors in advance.

After saying this, Bai Shitou did not look back and walked into the mansion with steady steps.
