Chapter 279: Wind Shadow Travels
Three days later.
The Land of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.
Today's Shayin Village seems to be a little different from the past.
As soon as the day dawned, there was a commotion at the entrance of the village, which had always been quiet, and dozens of people dressed as ninjas surrounded a man, and walked slowly from the narrow passage at the entrance of the village to the outside of the Sand Hidden Village.
The man who was surrounded by the crowd was wearing a blue white robe, his expression was majestic, and the word "wind" engraved on the hat on his head seemed to show his unique and noble identity in Shayin Village - "Wind Shadow"!
That's right, this man is none other than the fourth-generation Wind Shadow of Shayin Village, Luo Sha!
And the reason why he gathered at the entrance of Shayin Village with so many people early this morning is also very simple - today is the day he went to the Land of Fire.
Because he received invitations from Konoha and the Daimyo of the Fire Nation at the same time, Raksha's trip to the Fire Nation was very busy.
Not only did he have to go to a meeting with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire first, but after finishing his meeting with the Daimyo, he had to rush to Konoha before the final test of the Chunin Exam to attend the final test with the Hokage Ape Tobi Hichi.
Of course, his purpose in going to the Fire Nation this time was far from being as simple as it seemed.
According to the rules of communication between countries in the past, the representative of Ninja Village, 'Shadow', would not have any direct intersection with the daimyo of other countries, but Raksha was going to visit the Daimyo of the Fire Country this time, and the reason was that he wanted to take this opportunity to meet the Daimyo to provoke his relationship with Konoha Village.
Now, Konoha is getting stronger and stronger, and Shagakure is weakening, which is obviously not the situation he wants to see.
The fundamental reason why the Sand Hidden Village is now declining is that the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind has unlimitedly weakened financial support for the Sand Hidden Village.
If a ninja village does not have the economic support of the state, it will undoubtedly have a devastating blow to this ninja village.
Although Luo Sha relied on the Blood Inheritance Limit "Magnetic Escape Dust Gold" to collect a large amount of dust gold for the village to maintain daily expenses, it was obviously not enough to rely on these to provide for a huge ninja village.
So, Raksha hit the idea on the daimyo of the Fire Country.
The Land of Fire is located in the fertile land of the continent, and is the richest of the five great powers, far from being comparable to the Land of Wind, which is located in the desert region.
And he has received some news intermittently over the years, which shows that the Daimyo of the Fire Nation also has some worries about the growing power of Konoha, fearing that these powerful ninjas in Konoha will overturn the rule of the Daimyo's side after they are strong enough, and the ninja village will rule the Fire Country instead.
As a result, there was a gap between the daimyo and Konoha as a result.
And the ultimate purpose of Luo Sha's trip to the Land of Fire is also this - to secretly unite with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, propose that the Village of Sand Hide balance Konoha be, and at the same time ask the Daimyo of the Land of Fire for a considerable amount of financial support!
Raksha is very confident that the Daimyo of the Fire Nation will be interested in his proposal! Because he was also in a high position, he could understand the deepest emotions in the hearts of the Fire Nation Daimyo - the fear of having his power taken away!
Afterwards, as long as this deal is reached, the strength of the Sand Hidden Village will not only be able to increase, but also weaken Konoha's strength in disguise!
Such a perfect plan...... Now it's almost implemented!
.......
"Kazekage-sama, we're here for you, it's a long way to the Land of Fire, so you need to be careful!"
Luo Sha was silently walking forward, when an old woman's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Hearing this, he slowly turned around and faced the old woman who had just spoken to him.
The old woman was petite, and her wrinkled face had a serious expression, revealing a majesty that was completely inappropriate for her age.
"Chiyo-ma-ma, we'll be careful! After I'm gone, you'll have to worry a lot about things in the village! ”
It turned out that this old woman was the oldest puppeteer in the Sand Hidden Village, and she was also the most respected ninja in the Sand Hidden Village - Granny Chiyo!
In front of her, even Raksha, who is the Wind Shadow, put his posture extremely low and showed full respect for her.
"Hehehe...... Kazekage-sama, what are you talking about? Originally, I did plan to live in seclusion in the village and ask about the village, but now that the village is at a low point, and you have to take a great risk to go to the Fire Nation for the sake of the village, since I am the advisor of the Wind Shadow, I naturally want to stand up and solve your problems at this time! ”
Granny Chiyo spoke slowly, and although she didn't speak loudly, she gave people a very trustworthy feeling.
Just as the surrounding ninjas were silently moved by Chiyo's dedication, a very inopportune voice came coldly.
"Even! Lady, since Kazekage-sama is about to leave, it's time for us to go fishing, right? Don't get in the way of Kazekage-sama here! ”
"Ebizo-sama, you're here too!"
Looking at the short old man who suddenly walked out of the dense crowd, his dissolute tone did not make Luo Sha and the sand ninja next to him feel a trace of dissatisfaction.
Because...... This old man also has a very high status in Shayin Village!
He is the younger brother of Chiyo's mother-in-law, and he is also the meritorious ninja Ebizo who has made countless achievements for the Sand Hidden Village!
In addition, he also controls the intelligence network of the entire Sand Hidden Village! Even though he has now taken a back seat due to his advanced age, he still has a lot of dark lines hidden in other countries in his hands!
It is not too much to say that he is no less important to the village than the wind shadow Luosha.
Seeing that Luo Sha took the initiative to greet him, Hai Laozang, who had no suspicion of Luo Sha, naturally would not fail to give Luo Sha face.
He bowed his head slightly, and his tone was much more respectful than just now.
"Like my sister, I, who is also an advisor to the Kazekage, should also see you off before the Kazekage-sama travels! I hope that Lord Kazekage-sama needs to be more careful on this trip! Today's ninja world is not peaceful! ”
"Thank you Ebizo-sama for your kindness! I'll be careful, but it's not a time of war, so I don't think there will be any big mess! ”
"That's ...... a mistake"
Before Ebizo could speak, Chiyo, who had been silent on the side, suddenly glanced at Raksha with deep meaning.
"Kazekage-sama, for us ninjas, there is no war time or non-war time, since we are ninjas, we must be ready to die in battle at any time! Yunyin and Iwain have not been at ease all these years, so you still have to be careful! After all....... You're the backbone of our entire Shayin Village! ”
"Taught Chiyo-sama! I'll be on my toes! ”
Raksha bowed slightly to Chiyo, and then his gaze swept to the well-trained Kazekage Guardians behind him.
These members of the escort team composed of the Sand Hidden Shinobi and the Dark Department were all experienced in a hundred battles, and there was a sense of murderous intent on their bodies, which made Luo Sha's eyes look at them with a sense of approval.
"But...... No matter who wants to trouble me, he has to weigh his own strength! We are in Shayin Village...... It's not a soft persimmon that can be handled! ”
