Sand Ninja Village, located in the hinterland of the Land of Wind, is not a wealthy village, and it is also the worst village in the five countries. Due to factors such as the harsh natural environment and poverty, he has been peeking at the rich and beautiful neighbor Fire Country, and wants to relocate the village to a more suitable environment.

Most of the buildings in the village are earthy brown, and a large wall has been built on the edge of the village.

From the outside, the "Wall of Fortitude" is about 100 meters high, and it surrounds the village like a sturdy shell. Guards are set up every 100 meters, and patrols are added to ensure security in the village during wartime.

If you look down from the sky, you will find that the "Wall of Perseverance" guards the village like an iron wall 360° without dead ends, and the only entrance and exit is on the north and south sides of the village, and there is no wall overhead, that is, above the sky. It's not a weakness here, because the reason why the Wall of Fortitude is not covered is not because the Sand Ninja Village can't think of the threat from the sky, but because they can't be covered.

The reason is simple, the "Wall of Fortitude" is not only used to defend against enemies, but also to withstand the occasional sandstorm. In addition, the special wall made using the principle of heat absorption can absorb the surrounding heat during the day, preventing the temperature inside the village from being too high and causing a fire, and on the other hand, at night, it will release the heat stored during the day, compensating for the huge temperature difference between day and night.

For the village, the "Wall of Fortitude" is not only a weapon to defend against the enemy, but also an important means to adjust the temperature difference between day and day in the village.

But if you put a lid on the top of the city wall, it is equivalent to removing the natural radiator, and the high temperature of the day and the almost completely enclosed space will not make the whole village steam alive.

At this time, the interior of the village was still immersed in a sea of celebration, and the earthy brown streets were full of cheering people.

As we all know, a few days ago, the Sand Ninja Village launched a counterattack on all fronts, and a black tiger came to the heart of Konoha who was about to change its strategic defensive posture. Not to mention crippling it in one go, but it also annihilated hundreds of Konoha ninjas at a very small cost, uprooted more than 20 sentry posts, recaptured the occupied territory (desert), and pushed the battle line forward 130 kilometers in one go.

This is the best news at the end of the year for the Sand Ninja Village, and almost all of the Sand Ninja Village, who has tasted the joy of victory for a long time, are immersed in the joy of this big victory. In order to be silent and boost the morale of the long-depressed people, the three generations of Kazekage rushed back to the village to hold a celebration party after running around the front line.

The village really needs such a party to celebrate the victory to boost the morale of the people who have been sluggish for a long time.

"Long live Sand Ninja Village, long live the three generations of Kazekage-sama!"

"Drive away the Konoha dogs, we Sand Shinobi are the final victors!"

The sky was covered with confetti, and countless people waved their arms and had smiles on their faces.

The earth-shattering cheers continued to rise like a tidal wave.

With high momentum and indomitable courage, it turned into waves and rushed in all directions, and then resounded under the siege of the city wall, so that the streets and alleys of the whole village echoed with the cheers of the crowd, whether it was above the sky or under the ground, wherever there were people, no matter who was there, they would be immersed in this atmosphere of victory.

I can't remember how long it had been since the village had been so lively, but the three generations of the elders behind them waved to the crowd's almost frenzied cheers. If the Sand Ninja Village can maintain such a high morale all the time, then even Konoha Village has nothing to fear.

The festivities in the village continued into the evening.

The sun sets, and the remnants of the sun are like blood.

There was still a lively noise in the village, and it was clear that many people were still immersed in the daytime atmosphere.

They have been suppressed for too long, and they need a chance to be released.

——————

Sand Shinobi, Kazekage's office.

As the dark department closed the door tightly, the three generations of me Kazekage, who was originally immersed in emotions, immediately regained his calm and rational judgment, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a serious expression, and seemed to be faintly dissatisfied.

A pair of sharp eagle eyes scanned the crowd present, on the left hand was his deputy and henchman Raksha (Shidaime Kazekage), and on the right hand were the two major advisors of the village, Chiyo and Ebizo (Chiyo siblings), as well as some other elders.

The interior of the conference room is a dark and confidential underground space, and the walls behind it are carved with statues of the Shadow of the Ages.

A large round stone table was placed in front of the statue, and after the three generations of Kazekage sat down first, he motioned for the people around him to sit down, and at the same time, he spoke, "You have worked hard lately, and it is thanks to you Sand Ninja Village that you have been able to achieve such a great victory. This is followed by two good news and one bad news, as well as several troubles that need to be addressed urgently. ”

"The good news is that after this counteroffensive in Konoha Village, they won't be able to organize any decent counteroffensive until the spring of the following year arrives. We can take this opportunity to recapture as much territory as possible and boost morale, while at the same time stepping up the replenishment of supplies and the training of the reserves, and wait until tomorrow spring should be the time for us to fight Konoha in a decisive battle. ”

"There is also good news that our allies within Konoha have provided us with the latest Konoha recent movements and arrangements, if this news is as true as the previous "Konoha Strategic Defense" plan, we Sand Shinobi have at least three months to prepare, and we can finally take our hands out to deal with those troublesome guys. ”

Luo Sha frowned, he remembered that someone suddenly sent a confidential letter about two weeks ago, and the person who came didn't alarm anyone, and disappeared after leaving the plan about the Konoha Strategic Defense Plan, and the signature was only a name with an unknown meaning of "black", did it refer to the guy hiding in the shadows? That's pretty apt.

No one knows why this person deliberately betrayed Konoha intelligence, but according to his information, Shinobu did take a huge advantage in this conflict, and even launched a full-scale counteroffensive in one go.

But...... That's all the more troubling.

Miyome Kazekage noticed that the air around him was a little oppressive, but he continued, "Speaking of which, a group of tricky guys have appeared around the village recently, and more than half of the supply teams sent out have been blocked. Including those camouflage teams that deliberately disguise themselves as convoys, trying to lure people in and annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”

"If we continue to allow them to be arrogant, I am afraid that it will cause uncontrollable consequences to us."

The third generation of the Wind Shadow turned his head to look at Luo Sha, and said with a serious face: "Luo Sha, you will deal with those pesky rats." Find them and dispose of them as soon as possible, but don't forget to leave a live one. I want to know who is so bold as to dare to go hundreds of miles into the sand ninja to carry out an assassination operation. ”

Luo Sha hesitated and said: "Konoha White Fang's team has almost been wiped out, and now the Western Defense Team is chasing White Fang with all its might, I don't think it should be him." Then the rest is only the "Uchiha Dispatch Team" mentioned in the intelligence, a total of fifteen people, and the members are Uchiha Tsukiyong, who is known as the two genius girls, and Hinata, Baihua, and a civilian Kaguya who has no surname. ”

"I'm afraid that the people behind it want to make a deal for this, and they don't hesitate to sell the information of the village and want us to solve this group of Uchiha for them. But his real focus should be on the three people who were circled, even through the paper, he could feel the mood of wanting to get rid of them. ”

"What a ruthless and unscrupulous fellow."

Chiyo couldn't help frowning, she only felt a pang of disgust at this method of settling political opponents at the expense of the interests of the village.

Chiyo could basically guess who it was, and only that man in Konoha Village would dare to do such a thing.

Chiyo said: "Some time ago, the spies came to the news that the Uchiha clan was going to establish a ninja training school, open up family resources for free, vigorously train civilian ninjas, and also allocated part of the rights of the original police force to low-level ninjas. It seems that the Uchiha are going to buy people's hearts at any cost, and their goal should be to run for the fourth generation Hokage. ”

Miyome Kazekage: "If that's the case, it can be explained, no wonder they can't wait to eradicate them." However, this is also a rare opportunity for us to use this friend's hand to counterattack Konoha as much as possible. Presumably, even if the front line is defeated, this price is also something they are ready to bear. ”

Luo Sha nodded: "No matter how strong the city is, it is afraid of infighting, once it starts, people's hearts will be shaken, and no matter how strong the force is, it will become scattered and broken." What a sad people and a village should extend the political struggle to the outcome of the war, how stupid it is! And how angry and sad those Konoha ninjas who died in battle would be if they knew the truth. ”

Although Luo Sha is very sad, from the perspective of history, this future four generations of Kazekage is not a good thing.

About ten years later, during the Third Ninja War, the heroic female ninja "Hakura" of the Sand Ninja was betrayed by Raksha, because of the strategy of the village leaders, she became the material for negotiations with the Fog Hidden Village. Hakura was dying, cursing the village and the rival ninjas, and after his death, his body was taken away as a test material, chopped into several pieces and stored in the biological laboratory of the misty ninja.

So it's not a good thing to never come to see Raksha, and killing Hakura was also the consensus of the entire Sand Ninja higher-level at that time - so, Sand Ninja Village is actually not qualified to laugh at Konoha either, after all, they themselves are full of stink.

Not to mention the fog ninja, the sand ninja and Konoha are still a political struggle, and the mist ninja is directly and openly killing each other. On the other hand, Iwa Shinobi and Yun Shinobi are relatively united, at least so far there have been no big thunders.
