It is undoubtedly somewhat unreliable to draw conclusions about who is strong and who is weak just through the superficial comparison of wins and losses.

Even so, Raksha is still willing to believe that what has happened in the ninja world recently is enough to prove many truths that he has not noticed before.

During the Third Ninja World War, the Konoha Ninja Army led by Orochimaru, the main opponent was the Iwa Shinobi. Luo Sha has also encountered Orochimaru on the battlefield, although there are not too many direct combat examples to use as a reference, and they also know each other.

After so many years, the former opponent of the former "Three Ninjas", who was expected to be one of the four generations of Hokage, has now wandered in the ninja world like a lost dog, which makes Luo Sha's evaluation of him a little lower.

Being able to become the fourth generation of the Wind Shadow, Luo Sha's strength is also extremely strong, and the outside world generally believes that he is slightly inferior to the third generation of the Wind Shadow, but that is just the impression of the past.

The current Luo Sha is stronger or weaker than the three generations before death, and no one knows whether he has not fought.

As for the former descendant of the Red Sand Scorpion, if he hadn't defected, relying on Chiyo's prestige, his status would probably be even higher than that of Luo Sha.

Unfortunately, what didn't happen left one to guess what that world would become.

"Scorpion, you have no choice but to do what I command."

"It's really unpleasant, in fact, I don't mind doing something for Sand Hidden Village, I'm idle anyway, it's just that your attitude makes me very dissatisfied."

The slightly lazy voice of the Red Sand Scorpion came out, and it seemed that he didn't take the threat of Raksha to heart at all,

"This village really never learns its lessons. You are so reckless in military force and desperate to develop armaments, are you going to start a war again? More than ten years ago, you couldn't win, but now there is hope? ”

"It's not something you have to worry about, it's my job to make the village strong......"

"Come on, this world, it doesn't make much difference without anyone. You see, I disappeared at the same time as the three generations, and didn't the sand shinobi start the war regardless of it? Without you, the village would not perish, and there would naturally be descendants who would support the sand forbearance. You...... Overestimating one's own importance. ”

"So what? You used to be the grandson of a famous elder, a puppet genius of three generations, and you haven't really experienced the hardships of ordinary sand ninja since you were a child, so don't stand on the moral supremacy and evaluate us mortals who work hard to live. ”

If you don't suffer from others, don't persuade others to be kind!

Even in the barren Sand Hidden Village, the Red Sand Scorpion has no other great hardships and hardships except for the pain of his parents dying on the battlefield.

In the previous ninja wars, how many ordinary villagers in Shayin Village had no relatives who died in battle?

It's not one or two families!

In comparison, the experience of the Red Sand Scorpion is really nothing.

"It seems that you have made a good decision, no wonder the atmosphere in the village has not been good in recent years."

"You who defected, you still know a lot of inside stories in the village, it seems that there are a lot of people in the village, should I be glad to redeem you? Maybe there's hope, sweeping away those guys who eat inside and out. ”

After letting his henchmen bring the Red Sand Scorpion down, Luo Sha pondered alone for a long time before calling in Maki, who had been waiting for a long time.

"According to the information you sent back, the position of the Gusugi family does not seem to be consistent with that of Konoha Village?"

"Not exactly the same ......"

Markey added,

"They want a Konoha village that is strong enough to support the supremacy of the Fire Nation, and they don't want the Konoha ninja to be too strong to be deferential enough to the Fire Nation Daimyo and the Kosugi family."

"That'...... What is the attitude now? Konoha Village is already weak enough, the four generations died early, the three shinobi fled one after another, the thousand hands retreated, and the Uchiha was exterminated, are you still not satisfied? ”

"Forgive me for my limited ability to judge the Gusugi family's judging criteria. However, in my opinion, the young family governor of Gusugi is still preparing to weaken Konoha Village, and it seems that he has seen something unusual in Konoha Village. In addition......"

Markey lowered his voice and said:

"There are a lot of hidden secrets that happened on the night of the Uchiha's extermination, and there are still a lot of gossip circulating in the Fire Country. Some people believe that the Furusugi family was more or less involved in the events of that night, at least one of those who knew about it. In any case, sitting back and watching the Uchiha family be killed is mostly true. ”

Now the Uchiha people on the bright side of the ninja world are only the two brothers Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.

Uchiha Sasuke is now the only remaining seedling in Konoha Village, and he is looked at very closely, and the matter of Uchiha Itachi is very mysterious, on the night of the extermination, this ruthless man who is said to have killed the whole family, what is his position, no one knows.

The Red Sand Scorpion is a member of the same renegade organization as him, so he should know a little, but it is not easy to pry information out of the Red Sand Scorpion's mouth.

That's a ruthless puppeteer who is cruel to others, even more ruthless to himself, a terrible guy who cuts himself into a regenerative core and makes his body into a human puppet, and any torture is useless at all, he doesn't want to say it, no one can force him.

"We have a conflict with the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind, and the problem of the Land of Fire seems to be more serious."

After thinking about it, Luo Sha came to such a conclusion, but Markey had a different opinion.

"Four generations, I think that this Gusugi family may become an even more terrifying existence than Konoha Village in the future. They ......"

After thinking about it for a while, he really couldn't find the right words to describe Markey, so he could only explain from a different angle:

"The contradiction between Konoha Village and the Gusugi family focuses on who will control the voice of the overlord of the ninja world, and the open and secret struggle between them just shows that they do not regard other forces as opponents at all. Whether it's our Sand Ninja, Rock Ninja, Fog Ninja or Cloud Ninja, it seems that as long as the Konoha Ninja or the Furusugi family are serious, there is no threat. Only in this way can they explain what they did......"

"Are they only opponents of each other?"

Luo Sha couldn't help muttering to himself, not knowing whether he should be glad to be slighted or angry that he was looked down upon.

"Yes, if they were the slightest bit jealous, they wouldn't let back masters like Scorpion and Deidara. It is precisely because they feel that one more S-class traitor and one less S-level traitor have nothing to do with the overall situation, that we have a chance to redeem them. ”

What I regard as a treasure is just one of the dispensable chips in the eyes of others, and this gap is too big.

"Let's not mention these for the time being, can those powerful puppets be redeemed?"

"In principle, it is possible, and Major Governor Furusugi did not show any particular rejection. The problem is that we can't offer better terms. ”

"If you don't get it back in a short time, what will they do with it? Sell, or digest internally? ”

"In the entire ninja world, apart from our sand ninja, how can any other force be able to digest the 'legacy' of the Red Sand Scorpion? The sale is just a joke, it's not worth a few bucks, except for trading with our sand ninja, it's for internal use. ”

The problem is that the Gusugi family doesn't seem to have a puppet inheritance, and even Konoha Village is not very skilled in this field.

The unique puppeteer of the Sand Hidden Village cannot find a similar secret technique in the ninja world.

"Don't be too optimistic about this, Markey ......"

Luo Sha shook his head lightly and said something different,

"Land of Fire...... In particular, the Gusugi family is very strong in the field of machinery, and the research of scientific ninja is also very in-depth, and the puppet technique is just a relatively clever 'scientific forbearance' to put it bluntly, and there is enough time to study, and it is only a matter of time before it is cracked. ”

"What you said is that the four generations are careless."

"It must be redeemed as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble."

Selling land?

In order to redeem the Red Sand Scorpion, a wave has been sold, and there are not many valuable strongholds and harbors left.

The first batch of trading stations was not built, and the second batch could not be sold at a price.

Except for the ground, Sand Shinobi really can't get other good things, so you can't sell sand, right?

This is not the same as the river sand used as a building material, it is too finely broken and has too high alkali content to be of any use at all.

"Major Governor Gushan said that sand can also be used, but the value is too low, and I don't know if the Year of the Monkey will be able to pay off the arrears. If there is iron placer, placer gold, copper ore, crystal, clay, etc., it is not impossible to consider. ”

The Land of the Wind is so big, there are always some passable mineral deposits, right?

It's just that it's too difficult to mine, and it doesn't necessarily provide enough volume.

It's a good idea to let the fourth generation of Kazekage, Luo Sha, supply the gold dust, but if you sell too much, it will also affect your combat effectiveness.

After all the calculations, there seems to be no way to do it.

After the possibilities are eliminated one by one, there is only one possibility left.

There is nothing poor country, and if it wants to integrate into the world economic order, it can only provide one commodity, and that is cheap labor.

The situation is even better for the Sand Hidden Village, where the ninjas, although their asking prices are lower than those of the Konoha Ninjas, are essentially high-productivity units, far more capable than ordinary people.

"Can you only give up the amount of tasks in exchange for money? What did Major Governor Gushan say and agreed? ”

"Four generations, for a behemoth like the Gusugi family, the number of ninjas will never be enough, and the only thing that can limit them is the speed of making money. On the contrary, this generation of Gushan Major Governor is the most knowledgeable in history. The folk jokingly claim that the Gushan family is enough to buy the entire ninja world, which is a bit exaggerated, but it is estimated that it is enough to buy our Sand Hidden Village. ”

If he fought a real battle, Sha Ren felt that he would not lose, but competing for wealth, it was not a level at all, and he was not qualified to compete in Taiwan.

Now, Gushan Bushui gave them the condition that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind would use the land as a guarantee to let Shayin Village borrow money from the Gushan family to buy a large number of puppets, and then Sand Shinobi would use the method of "manpower dispatch" to accept the employment of the Gushan family to repay the debt.

This pattern, with a few turns, seems to tie everyone together.

What Luo Sha really cares about is whether it is appropriate to spread the price of redeeming the Red Sand Scorpion and the puppet evenly to each Sand Ninja.

Kazekage made the decision, and all the villagers bear the price, there should have been nothing to question, this is for the sake of Sand Hidden Village. The question is whether the Red Sand Scorpion is worth the price.

It's just that after a little hesitation, the fourth generation of the Wind Shadow Luo Sha suppressed this idea in his heart.

When is it?

The entire Shayin Village is about to go bankrupt, and in order to continue to maintain, Luo Sha plans to gamble his life with all his might, and the other Shayin bears a little "small debt", which is really not worth mentioning.

If you win, you will have a new and glorious future, and if you lose, let's talk about it when the time comes.

Believing in the wisdom of future generations, we can always find a solution.

Luo Sha, who had no choice but to think so, instructed Markey:

"You continue to keep in touch with Major Governor Gushan, in principle, I agreed, as long as it is not a particularly excessive condition, I will agree, and I will talk about it after this pass......"

When the puppets are in hand, organize manpower training and adaptation, and form a powerful puppet army to add help in the future.

……

Ten days later, a series of strongholds in the southern border of the country of the wind changed hands, and the "Saga people" secretly stationed in the country, and at the same time, several places in the southern border of the country of the wind were well located and suitable for building a trading port.

Among them, a large number of sand ninjas were hired as construction workers to contribute to the "concession" envisioned by Gu Shanbushui.

Among them, there is Ma Ji, who was initially appointed as the leading teacher, with the three children of the four generations of the Wind Shadow family, who opened mountains and built bridges in the water, and was very busy. I don't know what Luo Sha and the third sister and brother said, at least for now, my Ai Luo's mental condition is okay, and he doesn't have the intention of killing people at every turn, and he still obeys simple orders.

Even so, Markey did not dare to take them with the rest of the large army.

Generally speaking, there are not many people who dare to approach the place where there is Iairo, and a very small number of teenagers who are attracted by the appearance of Temari are full of hormones, and from time to time they snoop in the distance, but they are scared away by the murderous aura that I Airo exudes all over his body.

There was only a reckless young man with short reddish-brown hair and a little bad brain, and he didn't know if his perception was too slow, or he couldn't see the atmosphere clearly, and approached with the strange gazes of several people.

It's a set of things.,Always say something that makes people angry.,Provoke Temari and want to hit someone.。

finally sent the entangled guy away, and Temari breathed a sigh of relief.

Dealing with this kind of inexplicable guy is more tiring than fighting with a real knife, and it's a failure to figure out the behavior pattern of that bad boy named Daimaru even though he's a self-proclaimed tactical expert.

"That guy, it's Omaru who loves to play pranks and bully people since he was a child? The longer it gets, the uglier it gets! ”

Kankuro, who was carrying the puppet on his back, glanced at Iairo, and after nothing seemed abnormal, he said to his sister Temari,

"The strength is average, the heart is too reckless, and he has been a ninja for less than a year, and he has been in danger several times, and his luck is not good, and it is estimated that he will not last for three years. When I was a child, I loved to bully people, and when I grew up, I still didn't change my evil behavior, why didn't you teach me a lesson? ”
