Chapter 463: Half-hearted
Speaking of Sora, Kakashi Hachiki couldn't help frowning slightly.
That kid, he'd seen before, had a temperament similar to that of Naruto Uzumaki.
The two of them had similar childhood experiences, they were not very happy, and they were very lonely.
The difference was that Naruto Uzumaki didn't have the bitter grudge that was almost overflowing.
That child is a person who hides darkness in his heart that is not easy for people to touch, and once he "steps on thunder", he will go out of control and run wild.
"He...... Dangerous. His friend Tatsumi is an unpredictable guy, isn't it a bit risky to use him?"
Kakashi's hesitation, Tenzo also understands it very well, but ......
"The fifth generation specially sent him to my command and brought him here, probably with the intention of letting him play a role, otherwise it would ......."
Tianzo said solemnly,
"Where it's not easy for adults to act rashly, the two of us can't do anything about it."
"'Ordinary forbearance, that's right.'"
Tenzo and Kakashi Hachiki are actually not ordinary, and if you insist on giving a special grade, they can barely be regarded as "Title Shangnin", which is compared to other Shangnin.
But in front of the "Three Ninjas", it's not enough to see.
The conflict not long ago made Kakashi Hachiki realize that it is not possible to come hard, and the Saga people can stand tall in the ninja world, and it is really not a waste of fame, and I don't know how many chilling secrets are hidden behind it.
"You go and talk to Sora to see if you can get him and Tatsumi to get on the line, it's best to ease the relationship, and then get some valuable information, otherwise, we may not be able to move an inch here."
It's actually okay to be a passer-by, look at the flowers and flowers in a hurry, and then go back to report the failure of the mission, but it's just that it's too embarrassing to come all the way and go back like this.
In the past, it is not uncommon to experience times when tasks have failed, but it is still relatively rare to have a problem like now, where you have no way to start and can't find a clue.
The plan has been decided, and the two of them are dividing their labor and making preparations.
-----------------
In the Sand Hidden Village, because of what happened some time ago, the atmosphere is getting more and more weird.
The vast majority of sand ninjas, in fact, don't take the titular sand ninja in their eyes, and even most of the villagers don't know that he is already a fifth generation.
From time to time, the strength of a human pillar that runs wild and kills people is terrifying and awe-inspiring; The pillar force of the "reformer" is considered to be a fool who has been frightened by the war, and is regarded as a weakling.
This result is really incomprehensible.
In the past two years, strange things have happened in Shayin Village, and there are more than that.
It's like Uchiha Sasuke, Hayashi Yuri and Lao Zi, the three traitorous ninjas who "killed" the door, and no one received them, and I Airo had a discussion with them, and sent them out of the country with a strong and polite gift, but it was regarded as an act that insulted the prestige of the Sand Hidden Village.
As a result, several mountain forces sent out manpower, wanting to find three traitors to compare and compare, and to find the field.
As a result, not to mention the beatings, it was still my Airo who went to take them back and settle them in embarrassment.
Except for a group of people close to them, the children of the ninja school, and the new ninjas, there are still no good words, and there are even rumors of gossip, hinting that there is some private collusion in this.
It's hard to argue, not to mention that I'm still a taciturn character.
Temari and Kankuro saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, but they were powerless to change anything, and the two sisters and brothers who couldn't do anything could do it, the big man they could get in touch with was the teacher Maji.
And what can Markey do?
He is just the leader of a faction, and his biggest backer was the fourth generation of the wind shadow, Luo Sha, that is, the father of the three sisters and brothers.
Now Maki occasionally visits the underground palace where Chiyo and Ebizo live in seclusion, talking about the recent events in the village, and hoping that the two can provide a little help.
Helpless, Markey said to his hand:
"The situation is more troublesome, and the problem now is not how well others have done it, but how wrong others have made mistakes."
"What is the reasoning?"
Young girls, although smart, are still a little shallow in their understanding of human feelings.
"There are flies everywhere, morals are rotten, trust is absent, mutual suspicion is there, but there is a man who behaves properly and sits upright, like the light of the righteous path, and sets off others so badly, what do you think will happen to the impression he brings to people?"
Teacher Ma Ji's few words, he was speechless, and he was silent for a while, and then he said very unwillingly:
"Is it the right thing to do, but it's a wrong thing?"
"Right and wrong, according to moral standards, judge each other by standpoint. I see what I'm doing. Just because he knew that he was a qualified Kazekage, at least for now, there was no one in the village who was more suitable to be a fifth generation than him. But the problem is that it is not enough for us to think so, we have to let everyone know him and recognize him......
"There are also people who support ......"
"You mean the Red Sand Scorpion? I don't know what he had in mind, but with his image in the village, the so-called full support is not necessarily a good thing. Right and wrong still need to be judged, and the opposition of positions is clear at a glance."
The crux of the matter is not the Red Sand Scorpion, but the most important thing is to dispel the doubts of Elder Chiyo.
The tendencies of ordinary sand ninja and the villagers can play a big role in promoting, but it is the few elder advisors who can really make decisions and make a final decision.
Markey's role is only to thread the needle in it, recommend Iairo to all forces, and try his best to pave the way for him.
"What does that legendary puppet master genius mean? Their ancestors and grandchildren are in trouble, and it affects my Airo?"
"You can say that, but ...... That's not all."
Markey hesitated for a moment before guessing in an uncertain tone:
"Perhaps, it's to take a break, and then ...... Don't let me take the blame. After all, he is already the most suitable candidate for the village head, and if he encounters unsolvable troubles as soon as he takes office, it may affect his prestige."
"What's the trouble?"
Because of the lack of status, the standing is not high enough, and the vision is not far enough, Temari can only understand that because of the efforts of Aira and everyone, the situation of the village is improving. With the passage of canals and railways connecting the east, west, north and south, the originally lifeless Shayin Village has gradually regained a lot of vitality.
In Temari's opinion, as long as Iara ascends to the position of Kazekage, after a few years of hard work, the village will definitely be able to restore its old outlook, or even go further.
However, things may not turn out as well as they imagined.
Markey shook his head with a complicated face, and said in a serious tone:
"Individual efforts are important, but they also need to be revitalized by the village and the country. We have lost several big battles in a row, how can we not pay the price? Especially the recent abnormal prosperity, the situation has inexplicably improved, is it really because everyone is working harder?"
The previous sand shinobi was not enough to cheer up and did not work hard?
On the contrary, at that time, the village was even stronger, and there was still ardent hope in everyone's hearts, and the degree of effort was even more exaggerated than now, but the overall situation was still not good.
So why has it suddenly changed in the last two years?
It's not that Sand Shinobi is capable, but the general trend is different.
The influence of the Furusugi clan spread to the country of wind, and the large amount of investment brought by them greatly improved the local economy.
However, the Gushan family is not here to do charity, and it is simply appalling how much manpower and material resources have been spent to fundamentally transform a country.
Since there is so much investment, how can it be recouped?
With the insignificant price paid by Sand Hidden Village in the early stage, can the young governor who has been hiding behind the scenes but secretly controlling the development of the ninja world be satisfied?
The Land of the Winds has now effectively lost control of most of the lands in the south, once certain local forces have united
to build a new country and a ninja village, just like the Senju Pillars and Madara Uchiha back then.
The "Eight Masters" and the Sakaga people are not so strong, and they will not be as smooth as the establishment of Konoha Village, but they have gathered a large number of wandering ninja organizations and affiliated forces, and the momentum is already considerable.
To make matters worse, Konoha Village and the Fire Nation are noncommittal about all this, and other powers and Ninja Village can't interfere if they want to.
After a little explanation, Markey reluctantly added:
"With their ability alone, we don't have to be afraid, the trouble is the trouble, if there is the support of the big forces, the situation will be different."
"This ...... Split the Land of the Wind into a large chunk, will the Daimyo agree?"
"We can't bear it, what can the daimyo do?"
Not long ago, Uchiha Sasuke, Hayashi Yuri, Lao Zi and others came to Shayin Village, probably just to discuss this matter, no one dared to come forward to admit it, or I Airo came forward to send them away, and they were barely fooled.
There was trouble in the back that wanted to go to Sasuke Uchiha and others, and it was estimated that he also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to show off, but he was taught a hard lesson.
"If, in the term of my Airo, I lose half of the southern country, I'm afraid that my Airo will become a laughing stock."
Therefore, it is better to be steady, take a look at the situation, and wait for the dust to settle, and then make a decision, lest the only candidate for the fifth generation of the Wind Shadow have not yet presided over the overall situation, and their reputation will stink.
"That...... Just let things get worse?"
Markey sighed leisurely:
"We have declined to this point, in fact, we are meat on the chopping block, let others slaughter, who let us take the initiative to provoke a war, and still lose?"
Willing to lose!
Shinobi can decide when the war begins, but cannot dictate when and how it ends.
Now the end is just to pay off the debt for the original move.
Markey's words made Temari's heart feel powerless.
"Isn't Konoha Village our ally, and doesn't speak for us?"
"Allies are the most difficult relationship in the world. Otherwise, the Konoha Collapse Project wouldn't have happened."
I am afraid that my brother will have a hard time, and I am even more afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover.
The Land of the Wind and the Sand Hidden Village will continue to develop according to the current momentum, and it will not take a generation, and in more than ten years, they will become behemoths that are not inferior to Konoha Village.
It is already troublesome enough to have a developed economy and abundant force, and then a powerful Sand Hidden Village has emerged, and the position of the overlord of the ninja world in Konoha Village is a little unstable.
Originally, Temari thought that it was a good thing for me Airo to "correct his name" as soon as possible and become a well-deserved fifth generation of the Wind Shadow, but as a result, when he learned that the country of the wind was about to usher in a drastic change, he was now a back-stabber, and he immediately felt a burst of frustration.
"Isn't there a way to improve the situation?"
Hearing this, Markey was silent for a while, and then sighed angrily:
"Our Sand Hidden Village is just the force of the Wind Country, this kind of thing, the daimyo has to come forward to deal with it, even if the sky falls, he will bear it. The only ones in the ninja world who have this strength to interfere are Konoha Village and the Land of Fire. If anyone can say that the Gushan family will come forward, there may be room for a turnaround."
"What if it's the ancient cedar that's fueling it?"
"That ......"
Markey, who had a vague idea in his heart, said involuntarily,
"Join in and reap more benefits. The order of one village and one country cannot be changed, and Shayin Village is inseparable from the country of wind, but ...... Sand ninja doesn't have to be limited to ......."
As if realizing that he had said something "incorrect", Markey immediately stopped and looked warily at Temari with a surprised look on his face.
"I'm just going to talk about it, don't take it to heart. There are some things that we can't do from our standpoint, and it's good to be able to go with the flow and go smoothly."
"I see."
Temari bowed his head reluctantly.
Among the three main characters of the "Eight Masterpieces", the Uchiha
Sasuke is a traitor in Konoha Village, Ryungo Yuri is a traitor in Fog Hidden Village, and Lao Zi is the four-tailed human pillar force in Iwain Village, look at the three parties, the slogans are shouted all day long, and the hanging red of the underground bounty is higher than the other, but no one is serious enough to arrest them.
As for the local snake of the Zaga people, there have been many rumors that they are related to the Gushan family.
The largest loose organization in the region, the Southern Branch of the Martial Arts Alliance, is the largest non-governmental group in the southern border of the country of Sichuan and the country of wind, and it is not directly related to the Gusugi family on the surface, and no one knows what it looks like behind the scenes.
From this point of view, some things are actually on the bright side from the beginning, and Gu Shanbushui himself adopted a deliberately vague foreign teacher policy and diversified investment, which makes people unable to distinguish what he wants to do.
But once the picture is exhausted, there may be no turning back.
Once someone in Shayin Village feels incapable of being an enemy and wants to participate in it and get a piece of the pie, it will be even more impossible to form a joint force to deal with external challenges.
"There's nothing wrong with joining if you can't beat it, but...... I always feel a little unwilling."
Whether Markey's guess is accurate or not, Temari can't say well, but once a landmark event happens, it can basically be hammered.
For example, the unexpected rebellion of Sand Hidden Village, will there be?
No one can say, so we can only wait for that day to come.
A few hundred meters away, in the underground palace where the two elders lived in seclusion, Hai Laozang's face was full of melancholy, and his tone was full of rare fluctuations, and he said solemnly:
"Sister, have you really made up your mind?"
"There is no other choice."
