Chapter 138 Four-Nation Alliance! Four-Nation United Economy!

Iron country.

As the only neutral country in the ninja world composed of samurai, it has always been the official country for the joint meetings of the five major countries.

An unknown amount of time had passed since the last meeting, and the Iron Kingdom held another joint meeting.

But this time, the only thing missing was Konoha.

"I'm sure you all know about the Fire Nation..."

The Raikage Ai sitting at the conference table looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes and sunken eye sockets. He had lost a lot of weight and looked lifeless.

The other Kages at the conference table, the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, the Kaze Kage Yekura, and the Mizukage Yagura, all remained silent.

The entire conference room fell into an eerie silence.

The air seemed to have condensed into water, depressing and heavy.

"The Fire Country Daimyo is dead, and the nobles have been purged on a large scale. Those who are willing to hand over their assets and obey management can still save their lives, but those who are unwilling will suffer a miserable end."

"Currently, the power of the daimyo and nobles in the Land of Fire has been almost uprooted. No, to be exact, it is not called the Land of Fire. According to the official statement released by Konoha..."

Ai's face was heavy, and he uttered a difficult-to-pronounce name in a hoarse voice.

"The Republic of Fire."

The moment the name "Fire Republic" came out of his mouth, it was like a cold wind blowing on a winter night, making several people in the conference room suddenly feel a chill.

This is the first country without a daimyo in the history of the ninja world.

To be precise, there is no daimyo, and the country is unified by military and political power.

Namikaze Mirai, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, created unprecedented history.

He created a whole new state system!

The entire ninja world was in an uproar because of his groundbreaking move!

Ai's face looked extremely ugly, as if he had swallowed a toad alive. Now the outside world was full of discussions about the Fire Republic.

The daimyo is the supreme ruler of a country and the actual controller of a country's politics and economy.

Namikaze Mirai killed the daimyo and established a new national system, which had a huge impact on the status of the daimyo of major countries.

It can be said that almost every daimyo in the ninja world hates Namikaze Mirai to the core. In the underground black market, the bounty for Namikaze Mirai's head has exceeded 2 billion taels and is still increasing.

But no one should be able to take this bounty.

Even the leader of Akatsuki was helpless against this enemy, so it would be extremely difficult to take his head.

"Everyone, I propose that we form an alliance and unite the forces of our four nations to fight against the Fire Republic!"

The one who spoke was the Mizukage Yagura, who had been silent the whole time.

As soon as he finished speaking, he gained the approval of Raikage Ai and Tsuchikage Ōnoki.

"I agree!"

"I agree too."

Now union is really their only way out.

Konoha was originally the strongest among the five major countries. After the fifth Hokage Namikaze Mirai took office, it carried out major reforms. Its current strength is no longer something that any single country can contend with.

Cooperation is indeed the best outcome.

Among the four Kage, only the Wind Kage Ye Cang did not express his opinion immediately.

"Why? Fengying, are you worried about something?"

Raikage Ai frowned.

"No, I agree."

Ye Cang smiled in response.

Concerns, of course she has concerns.

The relationship between the Sand Village and the daimyo has always been unharmonious, and there have been many cases of the daimyo withholding funds from the Sand Village.

This problem was not resolved until she took office.

To be honest, she had been unhappy with the Daimyo of the Wind Country for a long time, but she had to tolerate it because of the ninja world's ingrained concept of hierarchy among daimyo and nobles.

Now Konoha has opened a new history.

It made her restless heart begin to burn.

If possible……

Of course, this thought must never be expressed.

Otherwise, the enraged Raikage and Ōnoki might risk a breakup and kill her here.

"Very good, then the Four-Nation Alliance is officially established."

After hearing Ye Cang's statement, Mizukage Yagura smiled with satisfaction.

Four-Nation Alliance.

It was only fitting that the four great nations formed an alliance to fight against Konoha.

"Since it's a four-nation alliance, a military alliance alone is not enough!"

Oonoki put his hands together under his chin and spoke in a steady voice.

"The military alliance is only one aspect. From today on, the economic and political alliances of the four major countries must also be strengthened. The four major countries should share what they have, increase trade, and deepen economic ties."

"For example, the Water Country is rich in all kinds of seafood, but is short of minerals, while the inland Earth Country is just the opposite. After the two countries open up a trade channel, they can exchange what they have and what they need, forming a close trade relationship."

Oonoki narrates in a gentle voice.

As the oldest of the four shadows present, he had already conceived many directions for cooperation in a short period of time.

The military is only one aspect.

We should also deepen cooperation in economy and trade.

"Once the four major economies are successfully established, we can impose economic sanctions on the Fire Republic and curb its development."

After hearing what Ōnoki said, Raikage Ai, Yagura and others all showed admiration.

"As expected of the Tsuchikage! This will put the Fire Republic in a difficult situation."

"Yes, even if a new national system is created, as long as we can unite with other countries to impose sanctions on the Fire Nation, we can still stop the development of the Fire Nation."

The meeting ended with Jiying's admiration.

No one noticed that a strange blush appeared in the eyes of Mizukage Yagura.

The forest outside the meeting room.

Obito stood on the branch of a big tree and smiled.

"Free trade? Quad?"

As expected of the shrewd Ōnoki, his original intention was just to manipulate Yagura and unite the four major countries to form an alliance against Konoha.

This will reduce a lot of his stress.

Unexpectedly, Ohnoki directly sublimated his plan, not only creating a four-nation economy, but also preparing to impose economic sanctions on the Fire Republic. With this operation, the newly established Fire Republic was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and was blockaded and sanctioned by the four major countries both economically and politically!
Difficulty.

Just when Obito was secretly satisfied, a pitcher plant Zetsu emerged from the branch beside him.

"Obito, Nagato suddenly wants to see you!"

"Oh?"

Obito was slightly surprised.

Nagato has always been wary of Uchiha "Madara". Although he has tried many times to find out the location of Nagato's real body, he has had little success.

Nagato didn't trust him.

In other words, there are still doubts about Madara's identity and his purpose.

It is precisely this suspicion and vigilance that makes Obito want to contact Nagato only through Pain and Konan.

Nagato actually used his original body to train him.

This is the first time.

"It seems that his last defeat to Namikaze Mirai has caused him to make some changes."

Obito sneered.

This may be a good thing.

Allowing him to have a deeper control over Nagato.

……

In the dark underground space, there was almost no light and the air was filled with a musty smell.

Konan was standing beside Nagato, with a vigilant look in her eyes.

Nagato was in a very bad condition. The Six Paths of Pain were all killed, and even Yahiko's body was destroyed. He was frustrated and suffered a huge blow.

Now he looks extremely haggard.

The skin was so shrunken that only the skin was left, the ribs were clearly visible, black sticks were inserted and pulled out of the back, and the legs in the lower body were severely atrophied and had lost the ability to walk.

"he came."

Konan made a warning sound.

Nagato perked up instantly.

No matter how bad his current condition is, he doesn't want to be seen through by Madara. This is his last dignity as a god.

A few meters away from him, the space twisted like a whirlpool, and Obito's body appeared out of thin air.

"Nagato, why did you suddenly think of looking for me? This is not like your usual style."

Beside him, Nepenthes Zetsu also slowly emerged from the ground, revealing his upper body, and looked at Nagato and the other person opposite him.

Konan's expression immediately became serious, and she slightly turned sideways, as if to protect Nagato behind her.

"Don't be nervous, Konan."

She was slightly startled by Nagato's calm voice behind her, and her defensive posture relaxed slightly.

Nagato's voice was calm and powerful.

Konan knew that Nagato didn't want Madara to look down on her because of her actions.

"Ban, I think you already know."

"I lost."

Nagato fell silent.

Namikaze's future strength is stronger than he expected, and with his current weak body, he is no longer able to compete with him.

Obito glanced at him indifferently.

Heart way.

Of course I know. Not only do I know, but I also witnessed the battle between you and Namikaze Mirai right there.

"So, you came to me this time to..."

Obito didn't finish his words, waiting for Nagato's reply.

He vaguely guessed.

Nagato's plan to find him.

"I plan to have you transplant Hashirama's cells for me."

really!

Hearing Nagato's voice, a smile appeared on Obito's lips without leaving a trace.

Just as he expected.

Nagato's health was too weak, and the Rinnegan, the eye of the immortal, could not be easily controlled by him even with his Uzumaki physique.

The best proof is his skinny body with distinct ribs.

He had proposed the idea of ​​transplanting Hashirama's cells into Nagato a long time ago.

With the blessing of Hashirama's cells, Nagato's severely depleted body can be replenished and he can better control the power of the Rinnegan.

Unfortunately, Nagato refused.

The reason is simple: he doesn't trust himself.

If he had tampered with the transplant process, given his understanding of Hashirama's cells, he might not have been able to discover the problem.

Nagato would not allow his body to have such hidden dangers.

But now, because of the threat posed by Namikaze's future, he can no longer care about so many things.

"As you wish, once you have transplanted Hashirama's cells, your control over the Rinnegan will surely improve again."

Obito responded in a slightly seductive voice.

"Hopefully!"

Nagato remained silent.

He naturally knew the hidden dangers of transplanting Hashirama's cells.

But now, I can’t care about that anymore.

He must improve his strength as soon as possible.

Relying solely on his Uzumaki physique, he is unable to tap into the true power of these eyes. Only by transplanting Hashirama's cells can the true power of the Sage Eyes be developed.

Obito glanced at Nagato's shrunken legs.

"You won't regret your decision today."

"Maybe it can help you get back on your feet."
