Occupying the southwest corner of the continent, the Land of the Wind, although its territory is the largest of the five ninja powers, most of the land is uninhabitable and barren desert, and various resources are scarce.

Despite being a coastal country, rainfall is scarce. Ordinary citizens can only survive in an oasis in the desert, which is vast and sparsely populated. On the contrary, the natural environment near the borders with other small countries is better, and the population density is higher.

The harsh natural environment and dispersed population greatly limited the development of agricultural commerce in the Land of Winds. 【1】

The daimyo of the Land of the Wind also had to disarm the important military force of the village of Sand Hide due to the poor domestic economy. After all, compared to the population of the entire country, the population of more than 100,000 in a ninja village is really insignificant.

Helpless, the Sand Hidden Village had no choice but to streamline its administration and devote itself to cultivating a small number of elite ninjas.

Shayin Village does not have the natural hazards that are easy to defend and difficult to attack in Yanyin Village, and the environment is harsh. Therefore, he was born in distress and had a strong sense of crisis (victim paranoia). This is also a manifestation of the ideology of the environment in which we live.

As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. Located in a desert environment, Sand Hidden Village is also a sharpening for the ninjas in the village, cultivating many excellent ninjas with strong strength and will to fight. At least not like there is a talent gap in Yanyin Village.

The fourth-generation of the Wind Shadow Luosha of the Sand Hidden Village in the Land of the Wind is at the peak of his prime. It even has the strong strength to use magnetic escape and dust gold to suppress the one-tailed Shouzuru in a rampaging state.

But the obvious truth that there is great power in numbers, Luo Sha also understands. If it weren't for the external constraints, what ninja village wouldn't want to upgrade their armaments? After all, it was forced.

Even though the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind continued to reduce their funds, the combat power of the Sand Hidden Village continued to decline. Raksha is not worried about Iwakuin Village, which is still ruled by the three generations of Tsuchikage Onoki, but he is not at ease with Konoha Village, a powerful ally next door. Unlike Iwakuin Village, there are too many talents in Konoha Village, so many that there is no Uchiha family without blinking. The so-called allies are nothing but a paper treaty, how can they be reassured? This is the helplessness of geopolitics.

So Luo Sha hit it off with Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan, and the first strike was strong.

Even if you can't capture Konoha Village, it would be better to be able to take the opportunity to weaken the living force of Konoha Village.

If you hadn't seen "The Legend of the Resolute Ninja", Raksha would have begun to secretly prepare to attack the ninjas in Konoha Village.

The citizens of the Land of the Wind live in special buildings made of sand using local materials. Even Kazekage's office building is a sand building with a hemispherical roof.

"Kazekage-sama, has Orochimaru sent another letter? He should still be trying to provoke us to attack Konoha Village together, but you must not agree. "It's Kamishinobi Maki, the elite of the Sand Hidden Village of the Land of Wind, who speaks.

Markey is a middle-aged man with a white cloth wrapped around his head and covering the left side of his face.

He is the right-hand man of the Wind Shadow, and the military advisor who advises the Wind Shadow. is even the teacher of the three children of the Wind Shadow Rasha, which shows that he is trusted and relied on by the Wind Shadow Rasha.

Orochimaru and Kazekage's hookup didn't succeed in a day, and they exchanged letters many times.

Luo Sha didn't treat Markey as an ordinary subordinate, so he was polite to him: "Let me think about it." ”

Kazekage Raksha has short reddish-brown hair and is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He didn't wear Kazekage's uniform, but wore a simple gray-black dress and a pair of ninja boots that showed his toes, and bandages around his feet.

"What's there to think about? This arrogant person has a bad intention to assassinate you," Markey didn't understand Raksha's hesitation, "Although I also hope to be able to destroy Konoha Village, a dangerous guy with wolf ambitions like Orochimaru is not a trustworthy partner. ”

"Okay, although the Legend of the Resolute Ninja hides a lot of information, don't take the things in the book seriously," Raksha reassured, "Even if Orochimaru is one of the three ninjas, I won't be assassinated like a sentence in the book." ”

"Unless Orochimaru has a powerful helper. If it is the art of reincarnation of the soil, it is indeed possible to summon the first and second Hokage. But now that I already know, I'll be on guard against it, and just don't give him a chance to summon it successfully or prepare the technique to seal his soul. Of course, I will not risk seeing him alone, lest I be ambushed. ”

Markey relaxed: "Since that's the case......"

"Even if you cooperate, you don't need to meet in person, and if you want to come here, Orochimaru knows that he alone is powerless to subvert Konoha Village, even if there was an assassination attempt to kill me, it should be gone now. So you don't have to worry," Raksha interrupted Markey, "it's just that I can't decide whether or not to cooperate with Orochimaru. ”

"On the one hand, Konoha Village is indeed a serious threat. But on the other hand, I was concerned about the dangers of this Xiao. ”

"If Xiao really has one or two people, he will forcibly break through Shayin Village, take away Shouhe, and take away the strength of my Airo. Will Konoha Village still turn enemies into friends like in the books, and treat Sand Hidden Village as an ally to help? ”

"In the book, the complex relationship between the Sand Hidden Village and the Konoha Village has changed through allies turning enemies and becoming allies again. But reality is not as beautiful as in the books. No matter how hard the broken mirror was stitched up, the cracks were already there. Betrayed allies can also sow the seeds of suspicion and make it difficult to trust. ”

"If it's like in the book, it's understandable that Sand Hidden Village was deceived by Orochimaru. But with the reminder of this book, if you start a war with Konoha Village, you will completely tear your face and there is no turning back. Unless Konoha Village is defeated at one time, Konoha Village has no power to retaliate. Orochimaru also said that he would be more prepared before launching the Konoha Collapse Project. ”

"To be honest, I was thrilled and didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But I'm worried that Xiao's strength is beyond my imagination, and it's not something that Shayin Village can handle. Markey, do you think you should go to war with Konoha Village? ”

Markey's expression was serious: "Stay on the sidelines." If Xiao is really strong, starting a war with Konoha Village will only hurt both sides, so that Xiao will pick up the cheap. Moreover, no matter how well prepared Orochimaru is, I don't think he has the ability to destroy the guarded Konoha Village. Even if we add our Sand Hidden Village, it is impossible to completely defeat Konoha Village at once. ”

"If Konoha Village really faces a lot of trouble as in the book, even if we don't do it, it will greatly weaken its power in the future. If Konoha Village solves those troubles, we will at least maintain a superficial alliance without much loss. So, I mean, the two don't help each other. ”

Luo Sha let out a long breath: "If it makes sense, then don't pay attention to the big snake pill." ”

In fact, Luo Sha has already made a decision, but he lacks a reason to convince himself to give up attacking Konoha Village.

Moreover, Luo Sha has another reason that he didn't say, because my son I love Luo. He ordered and personally supervised the sealing of a Guardian Crane in the body of Iairo, so that I Airo could become a tailed beast weapon. After all, there is a sense of indebtedness.

The fantasy of the future in the book allows him to see another possibility.

If I can untie the knot in my heart and suppress a Shouzuru, I can restrain the tyrannical killing intent. And then get the recognition of the village, become the fifth generation of Kazekage, and take the initiative to take the responsibility of protecting the village, which is great.

But this is obviously not an easy task. Even if I love to kill people indiscriminately, and I have enough strength, but if I don't get the results, how can I convince the public to win the approval of the people in the village.

So Rosa tried to create a stable diplomatic environment for his son. If even the powerful ally Konoha Village could agree with Iro, there would be much less resistance in the village.

The premise is that I'm able to restrain the killing intent in my heart. It's just that it's not an easy thing to do either.

Luo Sha looked out the window and saw two sons and one daughter on the balcony of another house, and sighed.

Among them, Temari and Kankuro trembled away from my Airo, and the wind and sand around me Airo danced wildly, undulating, and it seemed that there were signs of going berserk at any time.

Ever since I've watched "The Legend of the Determined Ninja", I've been emotionally unstable and often on the verge of exploding.

Several times Luo Sha thought that my Ai Luo was going to go berserk, and he was nervously ready to suppress it, but every time he made a false alarm. Now that Rosa is commonplace, it is already very big-hearted. After taking a look at it and finding that it was okay, I didn't pay much attention to my Airo anymore. This is also the reason why Luo Sha believes that I Ai Luo can suppress the possibility of Shouhe.

It seems that I Airo really has the ability to restrain himself, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right? Nothing will happen, right?

[1] Therefore, the Land of the Wind is actually the country with the lowest economic level, even poorer than the Land Country to the northwest. It is far from being compared with the two rich countries of the Fire Country to the southeast and the Thunder Country to the northeast.

Even during the first Five Shadows Meeting, when the first Hokage distributed tailed beasts, the first Kazekage Ritto proposed that as long as there was money and fertile land, no tailed beasts would be needed. It can be seen how miserable the situation of the Land of the Wind is.
