After a few days of traveling, Xu Fan and the others finally arrived at the Sand Ninja Village in the Land of Wind.

The environment here is very similar to the picture in Xu Fan's impression.

Everywhere there is an endless desert, and the wind and sand are all over the sky.

If you were an ordinary person, I am afraid that in such an environment, it will not take a few days to lose your way and die of thirst in this kind of place.

But then again.

It is quite powerful that Sand Ninja Village can survive in such an environment for a hundred years.

And the person in charge of receiving Xu Fan and the others was the ninja who commanded the combat troops of Sand Ninja Village, Ma Ji.

"Are you the representatives of Konoha Village?"

Maki looked the visitor up and down and walked straight in front of Kakashi, asking.

And to Maki's surprise, even if the person sent by Konoha Village was not the Hokage of the village, it should be a ninja with a very high status.

But the ninjas standing in front of him are very young.

Especially Xu Fan, who followed Kakashi, looked like he was twelve or thirteen years old.

It is estimated that he is at most the level of lower forbearance.

It has to be said that this made a bad impression on Markey at first sight.

"This is."

Kakashi took a step back and stood behind Xu Fan while realizing that Maki had mistaken himself for the captain.

Although Xu Fan looks very young, both his thinking and strength are far above him.

On the contrary, it was Markey, who was suddenly a little at a loss for the situation in front of him.

No matter how you look at it, Xu Fan is much younger than Kakashi and Tianzang.

Putting such a person in the position of captain is, in Markey's opinion, a mockery.

However, Konoha Village and Sand Ninja Village have always been allies with good relations, and although he was a little dissatisfied, Maki still didn't have a seizure on the spot.

"Come with me."

Markey lowered his voice, and then walked directly in front to lead the way, "Kazekage-sama is having a meeting with the elders right now, so I will have to wait a while before I can see you." ”

"But don't worry, as an alliance ninja village, I will ask someone to treat you well."

"Hmm." Xu Fan followed behind Ma Ji and answered neatly.

Although the living environment in Sand Ninja Village is very harsh, the climate in the village is relatively better.

The architecture here is also very similar to the style of Sa Ninja Village.

After a while, Ma Ji took Xu Fan and his party to the resting place.

"Water has always been a scarce resource for us here, so please use it sparingly, and besides, I'll let Kazekage-sama know of your arrival as soon as the meeting ends."

After saying that, Ma Ji no longer cared about the reaction of Xu Fan and the others, closed the door of the room directly, and withdrew.

"It's underestimated."

Kakashi looked at the empty doorway and couldn't help but complain.

But it's also a matter of course.

Although they are representatives sent by Konoha Village, the status of the two villages is equal, and they are both ninja villages of the five major countries.

As the elite of the Sand Ninja Village, and even the Wind Shadow, he naturally hopes that Konoha Village will pay attention to him.

Even if the person who came was not Ape Flying Sun, it should be a crucial figure.

So from Markey's point of view, Konoha Village sent a twelve- or thirteen-year-old child, which was simply a kind of contempt for Sand Ninja Village.

"Well, it's because they don't know your true strength."

Kakashi turned his head to look at Xu Fan, he felt that the Konoha Village sent Xu Fan to simply attach too much importance to this matter.

After all, the current Xu Fan is not only the leader of the root organization, but also the hero who just saved Konoha.

In addition, he inherited the wood escape technique of the original Hokage.

"What are you going to do?" Kakashi continued to ask.

In any case, the current Xu Fan is the captain of the team, and he and Tianzang are just his subordinates.

Moreover, what they have to face this time is not a small person, but another wind shadow of Shinobi Village.

In addition, Ape Fei Ri did not give himself too much information and intelligence, so the current decision is basically in Xu Fan's hands.

"Let's wait for the Kazekage to finish the meeting."

Xu Fan didn't think about it, so he simply sat by the window to rest.

The real purpose of coming to the Sand Ninja Village was to make them cut off the idea of being an enemy of Konoha Village.

In other words, it is to show strength to the Wind Shadow and deter the other party.

Let them know that peace is the most precious thing.

In addition, there is another thing that Xu Fan attaches importance to.

That's your own sign-in assistant.

Although he had arrived at the Sand Ninja Village, and even met the elite Shangninja Maki, the sign-in assistant had no reaction.

Looks like the verdict hasn't been triggered yet.

"Speaking of which, the Sand Ninja Village has always used Sand Gold to trade with us, right?" Tenzo sat on the edge of the bed, and because there was nothing to do, he simply found a topic.

"Hmm." Kakashi nodded, "You also noticed on the way here just now that the environment in the Sand Ninja Village has always been very harsh, and water and food have always been scarce. ”

"It is precisely because of this that the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire have always maintained the relationship between the allies, exchanging food and water sources, as well as other resources, with the Sand Ninja Village for sand gold."

Kakashi explained the relationship between the two countries.

However, although the Land of Wind is also known as the Five Great Powers, it is undoubtedly the weakest of the Five Kingdoms.

"But it's also a burden for the Sand Ninja Village."

Xu Fan turned around and said, "The sand gold traded by the Wind Country is actually refined by the Wind Shadow, but this resource is not only limited, but also difficult to last. ”

In fact, the village does not have the means to fully mine the sand gold.

The reason why the energy continues to refine sand gold is entirely thanks to the ninjutsu of the Wind Shadow.

In other words, once there is any accident in the Wind Shadow, and the Sand Ninja Village can no longer take out the sand gold, then the transaction with the allies will also be passive.

Even, this is likely to deal a serious blow to the future of the Sand Ninja Village.

The harsh living environment coupled with the weakness of the national strength.

The village has always been in a situation of internal and external troubles.

Xu Fan felt that this was also the reason why the Sand Ninja Village would want to start a war with Konoha Village.

But there's no way around it.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Ninja Village, Senju Tsuruma and Madara Uchiha were almost the ceiling of the ninja world, so it was understandable that they had acquired the most fertile land on the continent.

In particular, the Third Ninja World War was not fought for the purpose of dividing up the Fire Country.

On the other side, Luo Sha, who is the fourth generation of wind shadows, also happened to end the meeting and walked out of the conference room.

"Kazekage-sama."

Ma Ji, who had been waiting outside for a long time, also had a deep voice and stated the situation of Xu Fan and his party.

"The representative of Konoha Village, is a twelve or thirteen-year-old child?"

Luo Sha stood on the spot for an instant and said in disbelief.
