Faced with such a tempting proposal, Nagato would be lying if he said he was not tempted. Among the many relics Madara left him, it can be said to be all-encompassing, whether it is the long-lost Yin Yang escape or the many secrets about tailed beasts,

They are all present. But there is only one thing that does not appear in them, and that is magic.

Regarding immortality, I have only mentioned a few words about it, and I don’t know the method of practicing immortality at all.

Although Nagato has never practiced senjutsu, it does not hinder his understanding of the power of senjutsu. Even the first Hokage who defeated Madara was a practitioner of senjutsu. It can be imagined that senjutsu is a different kind of

The powerful power of the conventional chakra system. Madara's evaluation of senjutsu is also very high.

Not only those who are far away, but those as close as Orochimaru and other weirdos are also working tirelessly on the road of pursuing senjutsu. This shows the special status of senjutsu as a kind of power.

For such a powerful technique, Nagato would naturally have some desires.

But at the cost of attacking Mt. Myoboku...

After Nagato was moved for a moment, the emotion on his face returned to calm again.

Attacking Miaomu Mountain is no small matter. This is a holy place that has existed for thousands of years. No one knows what kind of monsters and monsters exist there.

It's okay if it succeeds, but if it fails...does Yuyin Village have the ability to withstand the pressure after failure?

Although today's Amegakure Village has developed over the years, it has always been difficult for Nagato to be satisfied with its military strength.

Although the purchase of new weapons from the Kingdom of Oni has resulted in a steady increase in military strength. However, while Amegakure Village is conducting arms trade with the Kingdom of Oni, the Kingdom of Oni is also conducting arms trade with the other five major countries.

, and the volume of arms trade with the five major countries is far beyond what Yuyin Village can match. The comprehensive military strength of the five major countries will only increase faster than Yuyin Village, not slower.

This is the disadvantage of Rain Hidden Village. If you win, you can protect yourself. If you fail, Rain Hidden and even the Kingdom of Rain will lose any room for maneuver among the big countries.

"Mr. Shiraishi, I think the strength of Oni no Kuni's family should be enough to take over Mt. Miaomu alone. Why do we need to seek help from outsiders?"

Nagato asked this question.

Shiraishi thought for a while and replied: "Nagato-dono may have misunderstood. First of all, it is impossible for all the power of the Kingdom of Demons to be invested in Mt. Miaomu. The reason why we seek cooperation is to reduce risks as much as possible."

"Then why do you come to me for help?"

Nagato planned to get to the bottom of it.

"Based on our previous cooperation many times, both parties have obtained stable and lasting benefits and have a deep foundation of trust. As for the other big countries..."

Nagato did not fully believe what Shiraishi said.

Shiraishi can seek cooperation with Yugakure, and naturally he can also seek cooperation with other forces.

But now Shiraishi has found him directly instead of looking for other ninja villages to seek cooperation. This can only mean one thing. The relationship between the Kingdom of Demons and the other five major countries has deteriorated more seriously than he imagined.

Compared to the traditional five major countries, Yuyin Village is more trustworthy.

Because as Shiraishi said, their previous cooperation has already established a good foundation of trust...

Sometimes integrity can be more effective than imagined.

"Speaking of which, Nagato-dono, do you still have any questions?"

Shiraishi paused and asked Nagato.

"I need detailed information about Miaomu Mountain before I can make a judgment."

Nagato said without changing his expression.

Shiraishi tilted his head and signaled with his eyes to Yiji behind him.

Ichiji took out a scroll from her arms, placed it on the round table, pushed it gently, and rolled it to a stop in front of Nagato.

"Xiaonan, take Mr. Shiraishi and Miss Ichiji down to rest."

Nagato got the scroll and did not watch it immediately. Instead, he asked Konan to arrange for Shiraishi and Kazuki to go down and rest.

The matter is so important that he cannot make a decision all at once. He must carefully consider the pros and cons of all aspects and weigh the pros and cons.

Xiaonan nodded and left the place.

"You two, please come with me."

Shiraishi stood up and said to Nagato: "I hope Nagato-dono will give me an accurate answer within three days."

After saying that, he took Yiji and Xiaonan and left the conference room.

As the door closed, Nagato withdrew his gaze, placed the scroll in his hand on the table, spread it out, and began to scan the information on it carefully.

…

Soon after, Konan, who arranged for Shiraishi and Kazuki to go to the lounge, returned.

After returning to the conference room, she saw that Nagato was not sitting on the original seat, but walked to the window, quietly looking at the rain scene outside, and could still hear the patter of rain.

There was only a half-opened scroll on the table, and it seemed that Nagato had already finished reading it.

Because Nagato's back was turned to her, Xiaonan didn't know what Nagato's face was like at the moment, so she asked aloud: "How about it, Nagato, do you want to agree to this cooperation with the Kingdom of Demons?"

Nagato heard Xiaonan's question but did not respond immediately and continued to listen to the sound of rain outside.

Obviously, he was still thinking about whether to agree to Shiraishi at this moment, and the two sides cooperated to capture Miaomu Mountain together.

"The leader of Miaomu Mountain is called the Great Toad Sage. According to legend, he is a close friend of the Sage of Six Paths and has the mysterious power to see into the future."

When Nagato told this information, he naturally showed his fear in front of Konan.

The only person in this world that he can trust without reservation is Xiaonan. Therefore, in front of Xiaonan, he does not need to be secretive, but speaks directly.

"Over the years, Mr. Jiraiya has promoted the prophecies made by Mount Myoboku more than once, as if he was targeting Chiba Shiraishi... However, it is only to this extent that it is not enough to let the Kingdom of Demons start a war with Mount Myoboku."

Konan continued following Nagato's words, she was wondering about this.

Predictions can be big or small, but directly escalating the situation to the level of war would be too much.

Nagato turned around, looked at the scrolls spread out on the round table, and said calmly: "No, the Kingdom of Demons has done a lot of work to understand Mt. Mt. Mt., and this scroll records brief information about most of the people in Mt. Mt. Mt.... If

My guess is good. Miaomu Mountain must have done something secretly to make Chiba Shiraishi determined to destroy Miaomu Mountain. The proportion of prophecy in it is actually not high."...

If it was just a prediction, Nagato didn't believe that Shiraishi would make such a risky move.

But there is an exception - for example, when investigating Mount Myoboku, he accidentally discovered that Mount Myoboku was not conducive to the country of ghosts, which prompted Shiraishi to make up his mind to attack Mount Myoboku. In this way, everything becomes reasonable.

.

"It seems that he also hid some important information while cooperating."

Xiaonan looked unhappy.

Nagato smiled faintly and said: "It's human nature. If it were me, I would hide some important information when we cooperate so that no outsider can obtain it. But to be able to force him to this point, Miao Mushan seems to have no intention of doing so.

Fei Xiao. A Holy Land for Psychic Beasts that is supposed to be in a neutral position has instead encountered hostility from the Kingdom of Ghosts. It doesn’t look like it is coveting the magic of the Holy Land... the secrets here are really curious."

"Then...do we need to investigate Mt. Myoboku?"

Konan felt that he could use this opportunity to grasp more trends in the Kingdom of Ghosts and prepare for the subsequent plan to capture the tailed beast.

Nagato shook his head and said: "These are just useless efforts. Bai Zetsu has also investigated these holy places in the past, but it is basically difficult to sneak into them, or if you are lucky enough to sneak in, those Bai Zetsu will disappear without a trace, even a single person."

The water in the Holy Land may not be shallower than the water in these big countries, but may even be deeper."

If this were not the case, the Kingdom of Demons would not come here to seek cooperation, but would choose to take over Miaomu Mountain for themselves.

"Then your plan is..."

"Let me think about it. This cooperation is not a trivial matter. Even I have to consider whether I can afford the price of failure. This time it will not be a small matter like before..."

A holy land that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the Great Toad Immortal who is also related to the Immortal of Six Paths... To be honest, Nagato felt that this matter was too difficult.

The deeper he gets into the power of the Samsara Eye, the more Nagato understands what the Sage of Six Paths means to this world.

Is it possible that a person who can make friends with the Sage of Six Paths and chat and laugh together is a simple existence?

"I thought itachi where you were going. It turns out that your target is the country of medicine."

Kisame, who was following Itachi, immediately understood where Itachi's destination was when he saw the three huge mountains in the distance.

As a result, he grinned, revealing a smile that could be called vicious to outsiders.

Itachi beside him said nothing, just looked at the three mountains in the distance quietly.

Those three mountains are located in the center of the sea, so the two of them can only go there by boat.

Seeing Itachi didn't say anything, Kisame didn't bother him either. He just rowed while looking at the three mountains on the sea with interest.

According to the information he knew, this was a place called the Crying Wolf. It was a large ninja village many years ago. Like ninja villages in other countries, they relied on task commissions to earn living expenses.

However, because the land where this Ninja Village is located is full of mountains and green fields, where various medicinal herbs can be collected, it is also called the country of medicine by outsiders. However, even though it is called a country, it is essentially just a country.

It’s just a village…

But because of the abundance of medicinal herbs, the ninjas in this village began to become lazy. As the land continued to be rich in medicinal herbs, and they could make a lot of money just by selling medicinal herbs, the ninjas in the village became increasingly useless... until a few days ago.

The Declaration of Neutrality was announced years ago, directly transforming from a ninja village into a gathering place for drug dealers where the whole village accumulated wealth by selling medicine.

It must be said that this change has made many people feel sad.

Kisame knew about this place because the country, or rather the village, was too famous for its medicine dealers. Even big countries would send people here every year to buy a large amount of medicines, making the villagers here get rich overnight.

We rowed the boat and soon reached the land.
