Chapter 602: The Establishment of the Three Alliances [I]
Between the words, it is obvious that as the former head of the intelligence department, Ebizo's keen intuition and vicious eyesight have not diminished in the slightest with these years of seclusion. On the contrary, just as Jiang is still old and spicy, as said, in the process of precipitation over the years, the useless dross has faded, leaving only the most essential part!
In this case, even Naruto himself would never have imagined ......
Originally, it was just Naruto who chose to borrow Shikamaru's ability to deal with the aggressive Chiyo mother-in-law in order to save trouble, so as not to expose his hole cards in vain on the territory of Sand Hidden Village, but inadvertently, let Ebizo, who had only met for the first time, easily deduce Naruto's true life experience in this reasonable conjecture!
Of course, in stark contrast, Naruto, in a sense, can be regarded as getting along day and night, and even in the case of close range, the villagers of Konoha Village, who can carefully observe Naruto every day, have not noticed that the "demon fox monster" they hate is actually the truth about the son of the four generations of Hokage and his wife who they regard as heroes and respect and worship! It is enough to see that in this huge ninja world, it is not unreasonable that only such a small group of people can become strong above 10,000 people......
And this development proves the truth that a wise man must make a mistake if he thinks a thousand times......
After all, Naruto, who was not a perfect saint from the beginning, has long been accustomed to it in the past ten years, as long as he doesn't die too much, even if he is a little wasted, he will not be noticed by others. So that at the critical moment when he was suddenly attacked by his mother-in-law, how could Naruto have imagined that one day, because of an inconspicuous lazy act, he would cause such an unguardable unexpected situation?
"Blonde...... Whirlpool...... Twelve or thirteen years old...... I see, no wonder I love the boy and choose to protect him decisively between the son of White Fang and this little guy. ”
At the same time, due to the accidental exposure of his life experience, the value comparison between Naruto and Kakashi was completely reversed, which made the original confusion about why the red panda cared more about Naruto, who was an 'ordinary person', and obviously favored one over the other, and chose to focus on protecting Naruto's mother-in-law.
"It seems that the man is a little weird, but he really didn't lie to us...... With the identity of this little guy, it is indeed possible to help us find the whereabouts of the scorpion. ”
You must know that because Chiyo's mother-in-law used to be in a high position, Ebizo was the head of the intelligence department, and the death of her parents, when Chiyo's mother-in-law took care of the scorpion, she would always spoil and indulge the scorpion because of the guilt in her heart, so that the status of the red sand scorpion in the Sand Hidden Village was equivalent to that of Naruto in Konoha Village, to the extent that she could do whatever she wanted.
And it is precisely because of this subtle background advantage that Chiyo's mother-in-law is silent when she senses that something is wrong with her grandson, but the intelligent Red Sand Scorpion already knows everything about the intelligence department of Sand Hidden Village, especially the plans that the intelligence department is used to when searching for information. So much so that no matter how the Sand Hidden Village changed its search method, it was like changing the soup without changing the medicine, and it couldn't get rid of the embarrassing fact that everything was changing, so that the Red Sand Scorpion wanted to hide its whereabouts and ensure that the Sand Hidden Village couldn't find it, which was really a simple thing! Even if you want to stop the defection of the Red Sand Scorpion, you just want to capture him back, or even just find out the hiding place of the Red Sand Scorpion, there is nothing you can do for the Sand Hidden Village who has been figured out the routine!
Fortunately, although Granny Chiyo is a little older, she is not a pedantic and inflexible old stubborn in terms of being able to endure hatred and not be ruthless to Kakashi. So much so that after coming into contact with the man and getting a hint of a reminder, Granny Chiyo immediately thought of it......
Since only with the power of Sand Hidden Village, there is no trace of the Red Sand Scorpion. Then if you ask other ninja villages to search for it......
So, in the matter of hiding its whereabouts, can the highly targeted Red Sand Scorpion maintain the concealment of its whereabouts as before?
Although this conjecture, if put into action, will be accompanied by great risks - the most obvious hidden danger is whether the ninja village, which was entrusted by Chiyo's mother-in-law, will use false information to blackmail the village little by little, or even directly ambush heavy troops to entrap and occupy the territory of the village-but for the mother-in-law Chiyo, who has no other choice at the moment......
What else can she, an old man with half of her body in the ground, lose?
"Whew...... Hehe, hey, it's already this age anyway, so let's take it as a willful gamble......"
Thinking of this, after taking a deep breath, Chiyo's mother-in-law returned to her indifferent expression of joy and sorrow. Immediately, he whispered in his mouth, and took the lead in turning sideways and walking towards the exit.
"Let's go, Ebizo, we have to go and have a good chat with this little guest."
"Huh? Is it just to come to the door? Don't you have to say hello to that little imp in Rosa? ”
And compared to the broken jar, Chiyo's mother-in-law calmed down. is also concerned about the red sand scorpion, but because he originally worked in the intelligence department, he has developed a strong mentality, but he frowned slightly as if he had an occupational disease. Immediately, knowing that once his sister made a decision, it would be impossible to change it easily, he took three steps and made two steps to keep up with Chiyo's mother-in-law. While sorting out the wording uneasily, he expressed his doubts and worries to Chiyo's mother-in-law as tactfully as possible.
"And, sister, have you ever thought about ...... Not only did we have no contact with him. Not long ago, you 'attacked' them...... In this case, what methods do you need to use to convince the child to agree to help us? ”
"Hey, Ebizo, are you getting more and more confused...... Can that kind of dispensable fragile friendship compare to tangible benefits? ”
And just as Ebizo thought, Chiyo's mother-in-law, who had already made a decision, naturally conceived a rough prototype of a series of follow-up measures. So much so that he was confident, and continued to move forward without stopping, while pouting, and pretending to answer easily.
"Can't you see it? They will take my Airo and come to our Shayin Village, it can't be a sightseeing tour, or just passing by...... If my guess is correct, they want to protect my Ai Luo from the throne when Luo Sha is forced to abdicate and become the fifth generation of the wind shadow! ”
"Five generations of Kazekage? No, no, no, how is this possible...... Are they crazy?! ”
Although when he asked aloud, Ebizo relied on his keen instincts to more or less detect Naruto's true intentions. But when he heard that his sister told the truth in person, Hai Laozang, who was originally kind and pleasant, still didn't care about his own image, and exclaimed in shock.
"Don't say it's now...... Even if it is in history, there has never been a precedent for a traitorous ninja who betrayed the village to sit in the position of the head of this village, right?! ”
"The Five Great Ninja Villages? Hmph, indulge in the glory of the past, but it's easy to invite destruction, Ebizo......"
As soon as Ebizo's voice fell, Chiyo's mother-in-law seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, causing the indifferent appearance on her face, which was hard to maintain, to gradually twitch and distort. Then he hummed softly with disdain and self-deprecation, as if he was reprimanding and waking up Hai Laozang, and as if he was asking and answering himself, revealing the last fig leaf that could not see the light, he responded with difficulty.
"Don't forget, even if the Konoha Ninja Village is really as generous as it seems, if we don't care about the losses caused by the plan to invade Konoha Village...... Just the short-sighted and stupid daimyo, in these years, the deliberate suppression of frequent cuts in funding is enough to make our village perish step by step. With the 'Five Great Ninja Villages' or something...... I'm afraid it won't be long before it will have to be changed to the 'Four Great Ninja Villages', right? ”
"This ...... But this ...... This ......"
In the face of Chiyo's mother-in-law's rhetorical question, even if Ebizo opened his mouth and wanted to refute, this was only a temporary predicament, let alone a once-glorious and powerful Sand Hidden Village, which would become the first evidence of the five ninja villages to withdraw from the stage of the times. But in his heart, he knew that every word and word that Chiyo's mother-in-law said was the truth, so Ebizo sorted out his vocabulary silently for a long time, but he couldn't say a complete sentence......
After all, although nominally, Sand Hidden Village, together with Konoha Village, Cloud Hidden Village, Fog Hidden Village, and Iwain Village, is known as the Five Great Ninja Villages by the world, which can be described as a radiant ......
But only the people of Shayin Village know in their hearts that because the village was established and is located in a desert area where materials are scarce, Shayin Village has been the poorest and lacking of resources among the five ninja villages from the beginning to the present. It is no exaggeration to say that even some small and medium-sized ninja villages have a slightly better amount of resources than Sand Hidden Village! So much so that before the outbreak of the First Ninja World War, that is, the first Hokage Pillar came forward to distribute tailed beasts to bring a brief peace to the world. The Sand Hidden Village, which is in dire need of survival resources, has even moved to give up its Tailed Beast allocation and use it as a bargaining chip to exchange a certain amount of resources with other ninja villages!
And from this unknown black history, it can be seen that for the shy Shayin Village, it is not easy to survive in this extremely harsh environment. Becoming one of the five ninja villages and becoming the goal of the world's admiration and longing for is enough to call it a miracle!
"So, compared to the fact that the village itself is about to perish...... What is it to nominate a traitor to take office and become the new Wind Shadow? ”
In this case, Chiyo's mother-in-law, who is well versed in the embarrassing predicament faced by the village, even if she says that the future of the village, whether it is good or bad, has nothing to do with her. It is inevitable that the hometown that has served for most of his life will have a bit of sadness and sorrow. And then after choosing between each other, Chiyo's mother-in-law, who had already come to the conclusion that it would be more beneficial to the village, took over Ebizo's words and continued with self-deprecation.
"Moreover, if Luo Sha is relieved of Kazekage, it will also have certain benefits for the village...... After all, if you don't have to deal with those trivial official duties, Luo Sha can free up more time to refine placer gold to supplement the amount of chips that the village can use when trading with the outside world, right? ”
In the middle of the conversation, in Chiyo's mother-in-law's mind, the red panda who had already "surrendered" Naruto must have told all the predicament faced by Sand Hidden Village to Konoha Ninja Village. So much so that when he knew the inside story, he still chose to nominate the red panda to take over this mess of Konoha Ninja Village, no matter what the purpose, it was impossible to watch the Sand Hidden Village gradually perish.
In other words, in Chiyo's mother-in-law's opinion, once all her conjectures have become a reality......
Then, Konoha Village gained control of Sand Hidden Village by cultivating the red panda as a puppet Wind Shadow. With the help of Konoha Village, the village of Sand Hidden got out of the predicament of decay. Even Granny Chiyo herself was able to convince Naruto to agree to help her find the whereabouts of the Red Sand Scorpion with the "merit" of facilitating this deal...... And under this mutually beneficial development, each taking what they need, it can be regarded as a good ending for Shayin Village, which has no choice at the moment.
Of course, in the process of responding to this thought and drive, Chiyo's mother-in-law did not tell her younger brother Ebizo......
That is, the reason why Chiyo's mother-in-law herself, while guessing Naruto's true intentions, did not dislike it in the slightest, but immediately pondered and guessed how to use it reasonably to bring more benefits to herself and the village, in fact, it is not only because the current predicament faced by the village, coupled with years of seclusion, and the blow of leaving her relatives one after another, has completely worn away the edges and sharpness of Chiyo's mother-in-law......
It's because, under the reminder of Ebizo, Chiyo's mother-in-law gradually realized that Naruto, who is an "ordinary child", could be the most important person in the group of people who suddenly visited, and a feeling of indescribability and incomprehension emerged in her heart......
It seems that there is a slight resemblance between Naruto, who met for the first time, and the first Hokage, who completely quelled the war in the records! So much so that in the near future, Naruto will bring a lasting and comfortable peace to the gradually turbulent ninja world!
And once this conjecture does become a reality......
So, standing in line early in the snow is the same as the icing on the cake......
Isn't it clear which one can bring greater benefits to himself, and even to the entire Shayin Village?
I want to talk about "Naruto: Changing My Life" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
