Chapter 358 Wind

Fire Country Daming Mansion.

In the attic named Tenshu, for the joint visit of the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Konoha Kaminin squad leader Nara Shikahisa, as the daimyo of the Land of Fire, it is natural to give a grand reception.

It's just that the situation in the Land of Fire is different from the general situation, neither the daimyo nor the Hokage are paying attention to it.

"I didn't expect you, Sarutobi, to visit here in person. We haven't seen each other for a long time since a gathering a year ago."

Seeing Hizhan rushing to the Daming Mansion, the Fire Country Daimyo was relieved and also expressed emotion.

Since he was a teenager, he has known Hirizan, Danzo and others, and they have a very good relationship and established a deep friendship.

Therefore, when Hirazan successfully ascended to Hokage, he also provided considerable assistance in the early stage to assist Hirazan to stabilize the internal balance of Konoha.

Just seeing my old friend look so old now, I still can't help but sigh in my heart.

Compared to the small gathering years ago, Hizun looked even older.

This kind of aging is not only the appearance, but also the aging of the heart.

The high-spirited third-generation Hokage in the past has become a piece of history in the past and was deeply buried.

"I really have no choice, so there are some things that must be agreed by the two of us."

Ri Zhan smiled helplessly.

If it is not necessary, as Hokage, he really cannot leave his post without authorization, but should sit in Konoha, strategize and give orders conveniently.

The fire country daimyo nodded slightly.

Hizhan then looked at Shikahisa, who nodded, and said to the Fire Nation daimyo, "Your Excellency, these are just some trivial speculations of mine. Iwagakushi withdrew his troops, but Yunyin started military exercises in the Tang Nation, and the Ghost Nation began to regulate the situation between the Rain Nation and the Wave Nation. The timing of these events and the targeting of the targets seemed too coincidental. Although there is no definite evidence, I think this may be the plot of the Nation of Ghosts."

After listening to Shikahisa's words, Daimyo of the Fire Country didn't object, but looked at Hizhan, and said, "To be honest, Konoha Village is full of talented people. Even if they leave Konoha, they can make a difference in the world and become the number one enemy of the Fire Country. If possible, I hope that Sarutobi will pay more attention to the inner character of ninjas in the future, rather than just focusing on their talents. If their talents are used to deal with the Fire Country and Konoha, then, such talents People, it's better to get rid of them as soon as possible.

The name of the Land of Fire has something to say.

He knew who Lu Jiu was referring to.

Chiba Shiraishi.

A defected ninja who was not considered particularly troublesome in the ninja world before the War of the Kingdom of Wind.

If the ghost country suddenly broke the news, this person will be ignored until now.

Compared to the prestige of Uchiha and Hinata, Chiba Shiraishi's degree of danger is only known by Konoha's senior management, and the outside world does not pay much attention to this person. Even in many cases, the other party is regarded as the vassal of Uchiha Ruri and Hyuga Ayane, rather than the existence of the main brain.

Facing the sarcasm from the Fire Nation Daimyo, Hirizhan knew that the other party was complaining, and this was the result of Konoha's lack of education.

Therefore, Hiriza had no excuse.

Although he himself has worked very **** the ideological education of Konoha Ninja, the result is that Chiba Shiraishi defected, and even Uchiha and Hinata also had problems. Later, his disciple Orochimaru also left Konoha because of taboo research.

These are things that have already happened, and there is no power to change them.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Ever since Minato's sacrifice, Konoha has been unstable internally and externally. As Hokage, it is impossible for me to go smoothly."

"Fourth generation? It's really a pity. If he didn't die young, he might be a good successor."

As for the conflicts that occurred during the transfer of power between the two generations of Hokage, it is not convenient for the daimyo of the Land of Fire to comment as an outsider.

In all fairness, if he were to suddenly give up the position of daimyo and pass it on to his heir, he would feel a little bit reluctant and reluctant, and question the ability of his heir, thinking that the other party is not enough to have the daimyo's talent.

Hizan had such an idea at the time, and it was not surprising to the daimyo.

Speaking, the fire country daimyo put his eyes on Shikahisa, praised and smiled: "Although Mr. Shikahisa's guess is purely based on theoretical analysis, but he can see the essence of the matter to such a degree that he is worthy of being a ninja of the Nara clan."

"Your Excellency Daming praised you."

Lu Jiu was helpless.

Compared to being worthy of the title of being from the Nara clan, he hoped that the daimyo would praise him personally, not the Nara clan.

Although many members of the Nara clan are quite intelligent, and the Konoha Jami ninja squad leader in the past was also served by a ninja from the Nara clan, but it still makes Shikajiu feel a little uncomfortable to bind the family and talents together.

But often, family blood is something that cannot be given up.

Assuming the blood of the family, you will give feedback to the family, and at the same time fight with the dignity of the family.

"I am seriously praising Mr. Lujiu's intelligence. I have mentioned it from Sarutobi and Danzo more than once."

The Fire Nation daimyo laughed.

"Elder Danzo?"

Lu Jiu was slightly surprised.

"Why, don't you think it's incredible? Although Danzo is a veritable fighting school in Konoha, his eyes are quite vicious, but he is a little gloomy. Many times, he is still quite cute."

cute?

Lu Jiu couldn't afford to complain about the words of the fire country daimyo.

Danzo is no longer a slightly gloomy man, but a very gloomy man.

The roots represent the darkness of Konoha, and these darkness are things that Konoha cannot cut off.

If there is no Danzo, then Anbu will completely replace the root function. After all, the root is just a part of the dark part.

Danzo is also equivalent to the shadow behind Hokage.

It is impossible for any country to have only a bright side. Therefore, Lu Jiu is afraid of Danzo, but he also recognizes the existence of Danzo and the roots.

After all, reality is not a fairy tale.

"Then, what does your lord daimyo mean..."

"Regarding this, Konoha Anbe still doesn't seem to have collected enough information. It's no wonder that in many cases, the information systems of the Daming Prefecture and Konoha are not in common, and the methods are also different. I am a little surprised that Mr. Shikahisa can analyze so much information."

The fire country daimyo said this, and sighed.

Ri Zhan and Lu Jiu looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

Without being too immersed in the distressed sigh, the fire country daimyo took out a scroll from his sleeve, put it in front of Hirazan, and unfolded the scroll himself.

"Look, this is the information that came back from the isolated island a few days ago. I didn't expect that the Ghost Kingdom would attack so decisively, and it wasn't just the Land of Earth and the Land of Thunder that united. Even the Land of Water was also involved."

It can be said that, except for the country of wind that is still licking its wounds, all the big countries in the ninja world have been involved in this turmoil by the country of ghosts.

Such a method makes the fire country daimyo deeply afraid.

At the same time, he also regrets why such a character defected from Konoha. This is also the reason why he hopes that Hirazan will pay attention to the cultivation of talents and character in the future.

If such a terrible enemy is cultivated every time, then I don't know whether to cry or laugh.

Or it can be said to be dumbfounded.

Ri Zhan and Lu Jiu scanned the information on the scroll, and at the same time, cold sweat dripped down their faces.

December 7th.

The isolated island, a three-way area that cannot be restrained by the law, was attacked by the coalition ninja troops from the four countries of the ghost country, the thunder country, the earth country, and the water country, and now it has completely fallen.

December 9.

The new Miko Shion of the Ghost Country, and the daimyos of the three major countries, jointly convened an international parliament to count the numerous crimes committed by the isolated island businessmen and make judgments in accordance with international law.

The five great nations were involved in the three great nations, so even though the Fire Nation and the Wind Nation were not involved, this trial was approved by the majority.

Although many small countries are secretly protesting, in the face of the ghost country and the joint pressure of the three big countries, the small countries that have interests in the isolated island merchant alliance, their protests are directly suppressed, and there is no wave.

Like small countries such as the Country of Grass, the Country of Tang, and the Country of Bears, which have Ninja Village, they did not say anything and expressed their obedience unconditionally.

It seems that this has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Fire.

But the problem is that in this international meeting, the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind were not invited, and even before the announcement, there was no news about them.

Hizhan and Lu Jiu knew where the problem was.

Isolating the Nation of Fire and the Nation of Wind, and further splitting the connection between the five major countries. In this way, the momentum of the Kingdom of Ghosts being promoted to the sixth largest country is already unstoppable, and there is no external force that can stop it.

is not pointing the finger at Ninja Village, but at a more core national level.

Daimyofu represents the political center of a country, and Ninja Village is the military center.

If it is a time of war, the country will naturally make decisions around Ninja Village.

Now is the period of non-ninja war, so pointing the finger at the political level of a country is undoubtedly more lethal than pointing at the ninja village.

Ninja Village can establish diplomatic relations with foreign countries, but it needs to be recognized by the Daming Prefecture and followed by state officials in order to represent the will of the country.

Conversely, Ninja Village does not have the power to participate in politics.

The country and Ninja Village seem to be a whole, but there is actually a wall between them. Normally, this wall would not hinder the union of the two, but now, under the ingenious use of the kingdom of ghosts, this wall has an obstructive effect.

Lu Jiu's heart is heavy.

I feel more and more in my heart that this may be a sign of some kind of reform before it comes.

Because as long as this malpractice persists, the Kingdom of Ghosts will be inherently invincible.

Because the Kingdom of Ghosts emphasizes that the government and the military exist as one.

Although the functions of the respective representatives are different, but the interests are completely consistent, then there is no situation where any party is lagging behind or cannot keep up with the progress.

On the contrary, Daming Mansion and Konoha Village in the Land of Fire will check and balance each other unless there is an emergency.

One country, one village system seems to be an extremely beautiful balance, but it only looks good.

What is the so-called country, and why can the ghost country take such a path? If the Nation of Fire follows the same path...

Thinking of this, more cold sweat appeared on Lu Jiu's face.

Because once the Kingdom of Fire embarks on the road, it means that Daimyo and Hokage must die and survive.

Of course, it's not literal death, but the 'death' of daimyo or Hokage's function, with one of them acting as the absolute mastermind, unifying all the voices of a country.

Neither Hizan nor the fire country daimyo were aware of Shikajiu's inner thoughts. After all, such bad news made Shikaku so nervous, which is normal.

Even they, seeing the news, were overwhelmed and anxious for the first time.

After a brief silence, the Fire Nation daimyo took the lead to say: "It seems that the Earth Nation no longer intends to intervene in the civil war in the Rain Nation, and the cloud hides Chen Bing Tang Nation, in order to distract our attention. The war is probably not what Raikage and the Thunder Nation daimyo want. But the necessary preparations still need to be carried out, and we can't be too weak."

The Kingdom of Thunder hopes that the Kingdom of Ghosts will weaken the Kingdom of Fire, but it also does not want the Kingdom of Ghosts to become the next Kingdom of Fire. Therefore, the basis for cooperation between the two countries is closeness and vigilance.

The balance between countries is maintained in this way.

There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends.

The Kingdom of Thunder covets the throne of the largest ninja country, the Kingdom of Ghosts desires the status of the sixth largest country, and the Country of Earth is as conservative as ever, hiding in secret.

As for the Water Country and Wuyin Village, which were pulled into the alliance by the Ghost Country, they seemed to be irrelevant people who were randomly pulled over to the platform.

According to gossip, because Kisame Kisame, a traitor of Kirigakure Village, had assassinated the Water Country Daimyo when he defected, the relationship between the Water Country Daming Mansion and Kirigakure Village has become not very harmonious, and they are still repairing the relationship.

The internal contradictions have not yet been resolved, and Wuyin Village will not be so unwise and aggressive like Yunyin.

Even so, the dangers faced by the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha are still terrible.

The imposing country of ghosts, the country of thunder, and the country of fire, with the current power of the country of fire, are simply unable to resist the joint suppression of the two countries.

Therefore, there is only one way to break the situation right now, and that is to win over the Kingdom of Wind, which is also rejected by the Kingdom of Ghosts.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend. The Nation of Fire and the Nation of Wind can now be said to be a special relationship of brothers and sisters.

"Will Kazekage, the daimyo of the country of wind, agree?"

Ri Zhan expressed concern.

"I am sure to persuade the daimyo of the land of the wind, but Kazekage, and Sand hidden...Konoha, who is also a ninja village, should have been more convincing in the past."

The fire country daimyo said not very sure.

"I heard that Kazekage Luosha's mental state is still not very good, because of his own decision-making mistakes, Sayin has faintly changed to Kazekage Fengsheng..."

Hi Zhan sighed.

"But he is still Kazekage now, and can make decisions instead of Sand Yin. Sand Yin's former advisor, Chiyo, is doing psychological counseling, and it should be somewhat effective now."

"Okay then, I will send a mission to Sand Hidden as soon as possible to test Sun Hidden's thoughts. I hope Kazekage can get back together."

Ri Zhan nodded in agreement.

The roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The white divine light representing disaster shrouded from the sky.

Under the shroud of light like that, a terrifying sinkhole appeared in the desert.

Countless twisted and incomplete corpses fell into the pit. All of them stared wide-eyed, and the will of resentment was almost revealed from the eyes and turned into substance.

The curse-like sound of resentment made Luo Sha suffocate in pain.

"ah!"

Standing up straight from the bed, Luo Sha suddenly woke up from a deep sleep, clutching his sweaty forehead, Luo Sha began to gasp for breath.

The room was dark, and the cold moonlight shone in from the window, making Luo Sha barely able to see the surrounding things clearly.

"What, it turned out to be a dream..."

Luo Sha heaved a sigh of relief thankfully.

If he didn't wake up in time, those sand ninjas who cursed him might rush up and tear his body to pieces.

Because of his wrong decision-making, Sand Hidden was defeated, and thousands of Sand Hidden died in the war.

The most incompetent Fengying in history.

Although I don't know what Sand Ninja thinks about him, Kazekage, those Sand Ninja who look at him with weird eyes on weekdays must think so in their hearts.

In the history of Shayin, there is no Kazekage who can achieve such a "great achievement" like him.

Even Luo Sha couldn't help but want to mock herself.

Because of his own incompetence, the reputation of the ghost country has been fulfilled, and the ghost country has officially entered the stage among the great powers.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Winds signed a series of humiliating treaties.

The officials of the Daming Prefecture, including the daimyo, are also quite dissatisfied with him, the Kazekage who caused the defeat of the war. The proposal to replace Kazekage has been frequently put on the agenda recently.

If it weren't for the suppression of the two elders, Chiyo and Ebino, former advisors, he would have already fallen from Kazekage's throne by now.

So, after he steps down, who will become the fifth generation of Fengshou?

Ye Cang who uses the Boundary Ninjutsu?

If you think about it this way, she seems to be the most likely.

As long as someone is burned close to him, his body will be drained of water in an instant, turning into a mummy and dying. This has nothing to do with the body's ability to resist blows. In a sense, this kind of blood succession limit has the terrifying characteristic of killing with one blow.

"Really, why is there no resentment in my heart, but I feel a kind of luck of relief..."

Luo Sha's body trembled faintly, with a self-deprecating smile on his face.

It seems that even I don't think I have the talent to become Kazekage.

The most incompetent Kazekage in history should be treated like this.

Perk?

To put it simply.

As long as he closes his eyes, the ghosts of thousands of sand ninjas, their hideous and cursed faces, will come to mind, making him sleepless.

How does this cheer him up?

Those sand ninjas trust themselves so much, they believe in him, the Kazekage.

In the end, he 'killed' them with his own hands.

Getting off the bed, her clothes were already soaked in cold sweat. Luo Sha opened the door and looked at the living room, which was also dark. She moved freely in the dark and came to the bathroom.

Turn on the light, turn on the faucet, take up the cold water with your hands, and cover your face, Luo Sha's face slowly regained its calm.

He raised his head slightly and looked at himself in the mirror. The dark circles under his eyes were already very serious.

In the past few months, I haven't had a good night's sleep, and my spirit has become very unstable, irritable and irritable.

I have to take a lot of drugs every day to barely fall asleep. As a result, many times, I still wake up in the middle of the night because of nightmares.

It is quite normal to have dark circles under the eyes.

Seeing himself so depressed, Luo Sha seems to have returned to the important day that established his failure

was let go.

The other party said casually: "Lord Fengying, the war is over, you can go."

Can I go now?

Although the other party was looking straight at him, in the end, didn't he even have the qualifications to become a prisoner of the enemy?

He who should have resisted and reflected Kazekage's pride, lost the courage to continue fighting at that time.

In the end, he didn't even know how he got back to Hidden Sand Village.

Coward.

Incompetent.

Such a label seems to have never been cleaned up in a lifetime.

"Chiba Shiraishi!"

Looking at herself in the mirror, Luo Sha's expression became extremely ferocious, terrifying like a ghost, and she gritted her teeth and squeezed out the name from between her teeth.

It was this man who ruined his life.

Like throwing out trash, he spared his life.

He doesn't even have the qualifications to die at the opponent's hands.

Kazekage's dignity was severely trampled on by the opponent, and became a stepping stone for the opponent to quickly become famous.

Such a self, it is better to die.

Seeing the blade next to the pool, Luo Sha couldn't help thinking of this.

Luo Sha held the blade in his hand in a strange way, but he didn't make the next move. Instead, he stood there in a daze, thinking about where to cut it, so that he could leave this world without pain.

At this moment, a figure flashed quickly in the mirror, which shocked Luo Sha. He put away the blade in his hand, turned his head quickly, looked outside the bathroom, it was dark there, and asked loudly, "Who! Come out for me!"

A few seconds passed before a thin and short figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

Small body, height less than Luo Sha's abdomen, about seven or eight years old.

Has more serious dark circles than him, a word 'love' is carved on the left forehead, and has short red hair.

"It's Gaara, why, it's so late, haven't you slept yet?"

Seeing that it was his youngest son, Luo Sha breathed a sigh of relief, the ferocity on his face disappeared, and he tried his best to calm down his tone so that no one could see any flaws.

"I never sleep, Father."

The child named Gaara looked at Luo Sha with complex intertwined expressions of fear, hatred, indifference, etc., and said this sentence incomparably coldly.

Luo Sha opened his mouth, speechless.

Gaara is his youngest son, and more than that, after the death of the previous generation Ichichu Rikifuku monk, Gaara has acted as a new container for Izuo.

Therefore, Gaara is not only his son, but also an extremely important tail beast weapon in Hidden Sand Village.

Because of Kazuo's strength, Gaara couldn't sleep peacefully like a normal person.

Once Gaara falls into a deep sleep, its own will will weaken, and the power of the tailed beast will awaken, and it will fall into a rage, destroying everything around it.

So, in order to prevent the tailed beast from running amok, Gaara was deprived of sleep.

Compared to Konoha's powerful sealing technique inherited from the Uzumaki clan, Sayin's sealing technique for tailed beasts is much worse.

Treat tailed beasts, naturally, you can't be careless.

"Then what's the matter with you?"

"Because I saw the lights here were on, so I came over to have a look."

Gaara replied.

"Really? I'm fine now, you should go back to your room quickly, and watch out for the crane."

Luo Sha nodded, ready to go back to the room.

When Luo Sha was about to lift his leg, Gaara stared at his father Luo Sha's face pretending to be calm, and said a word:

"Father, did you plan to commit suicide just now?"

Luo Sha's face darkened instantly.
