Chapter 68: Backstabbing
The news of Hoshino's return to the village spread rapidly, and naturally not everyone was happy.
At this time, in the mansion of the sand vulture, the four elders sat in the palatial meeting room.
Until a few months ago, it was very modest.
Of course, this simplicity is that compared with other large tribes, ordinary people may not be able to afford a chair here for a lifetime.
Not to mention now, each chair is inlaid with huge gems, more luxurious than the chairs in the Elder Council Chamber of the Kazekage Building.
The sand vulture glanced at everyone and slowly spoke, "Everyone, everyone knows the news of Hoshinomu's return. ”
Yuta nodded: "The problem now is that Raksha didn't come back with him. ”
As he spoke, he frowned.
Truth be told, it took a lot of courage for him to sit here.
Originally from the Wind Shadow faction, he backstabbed the faction and defected to Orange Juro when he first discussed the Kazekage candidates, and later bet on Rakusa to return to the Wind Shadow faction in the 'Battle for Kikyo City'.
Although the Elders' Council except for Chiyo and the three of them are tied to death, the positions of the others are not fixed, and it cannot be said that having milk is a mother, but it is not much better.
But it's rare to jump repeatedly between two nurses in a short period of time like yourself.
Yuta doesn't think it's his eyesight problem, he just thinks he's unlucky.
Chiyo doesn't care about anything, what's wrong with defecting to Orange Juro by himself?
Hoshino Mu and Luo Sha compete for the wind shadow, the gap is so big, he doesn't have the strength to know, is it okay for a fool to close his eyes and pay Luo Sha?
Don't talk about him, I heard that the people below have sold their houses and bet on Luo Sha.
You must know that the house in Shayin Village is worth a lot now!
I follow the big hit every time, who knows if I can have two upsets in a row?
This is the version of the answer, it is clearly a version trap!
Now it seems that Hoshino Makaki is in a good situation, but based on the experience of the previous two times, the heat will die, and the Wind Shadow faction still has a good chance.
Of course, as the head of the Ministry of Intelligence, I have the mentality of wanting to fight for breath twice in a row.
The other three people's faces were also ugly when they heard this.
Unlike Chiyo and Orange Juro, who grew up with the village, they formed a prototype through various innovations in the second generation and formally developed in the third generation.
Of course, the name is the Wind Shadow School, but in fact, they are not loyal to the Wind Shadow, but protect their own interests through the Wind Shadow, and to some extent, they will squeeze the Wind Shadow more than Orange Juro.
However, their relationship with Luo Sha is different, and the two sides are collaborators.
This is mainly because Luo Sha is different from the previous Wind Shadow, he has a problem with his thinking, he doesn't love the village enough, and he actually uses the ore vein as a condition to negotiate with them!
Shouldn't the discovery of mineral resources be voluntarily handed over to the village free of charge?
It's good for them to be in a good mood and give him a little reward, how can they negotiate terms with them on this?!
Although the Wind Shadow Sect is not happy with this, there is no way, who let the only Magnetic Escape Ninja in the village who can explore the ore vein now be Luo Sha.
But even if there are some contradictions between the two sides, the contradictions between the factions are obviously greater.
Now that Luo Sha is not here, you can't find someone to replace Luo Sha to run for Fengying first, and that won't convince the public.
"This must have been deliberately arranged by Hoshino Maki."
An elder said indignantly.
The others were silent, knowing what to do, even if Rosa received the news now, it was impossible for him to arrive immediately.
They have been notified to convene a council of elders tomorrow on the issue of Hoshino Makaki's succession to Kazekage.
It is impossible not to attend, the Council of Elders does not have a hard and fast requirement for the number of attendees, and if you do not attend, it is equivalent to completely giving up the competition for the Wind Shadow.
"Chiyo-sama won't stand in line, let's hold on four against four first, and hurry up and call Luo Sha back for a chance."
A fat-headed, big-eared elder said in a deep voice.
Yuta glanced at the other party, although he usually looked down on the other party, a moth lying on the vein to suck blood, but what he said at this time made some sense.
Sand Eagle glanced at everyone and nodded slightly: "That's what I mean, in fact, after receiving the news that Hoshino Mu returned to the village, I have already sent someone to Kikyo City to inform Luo Sha." ”
Although they are allies, the sand vulture does not trust them.
You Ta didn't say much, repeatedly jumped horizontally, and the remaining two were also because the family and the vein were too deeply bound to have to support Luo Sha, and the personal relationship with Orange Shiro was closer.
That's why the sand vulture didn't inform them until the council of elders was about to convene, as long as they dragged the council over this time, and when Luo Sha came back, there would be some fighting.
At noon the next day, the sun was shining, the air was distorted a little, and the streets of Shayin Village rarely returned to the desolation of the past, and there were few people to be seen.
But if you prick up your ears and listen, you can hear the noise of the shops on both sides of the street.
Many izakayas, restaurants, and bars are full, and this time of day is rare.
In a bar, many people gathered around the bar, only to hear the man shouting:
"Hurry, hurry! Last chance, Oshi Nomaki or Rasha! ”
"I'm holding on Rasha, don't look at Hoshino Muki's recent efforts to help the village earn a lot, but it's unstable, if you really rely on Hoshino Mu, the village won't be hungry and full? How can there be a vein? ”
"I'm also holding Rasha, and Rasha-sama's reputation among ninjas is not comparable to Hoshino Maki."
"Indeed, he doesn't even have the Blood Inheritance Limit, how can he be the Wind Shadow?"
“...”
"I'm betting on Hoshino Mu, his advanced Kikyo City, Kazekage's position is definitely his."
In the sound of betting on Luo Sha, this person was particularly abrupt,
When a person next to him heard it, he sneered: "Brother Xinsha Yinren, right?" ”
The man's face was not very good-looking, and he stiffened his neck: "You care about me old and new?" Am I not right? ”
"The first half of the sentence is right, it's true that Hoshino-sama is the first to advance Kikyo City, but it's still the one who decides the location of the Kazekage..."
The old Shayin man gestured in the direction of the Wind Shadow Building and quickly lowered his hand, looking confident: "Understood, it's hard to say." ”
The new sand hider's face hesitated when he heard this, he glanced at the other party's confident appearance, gritted his teeth, and pressed the ticket of two thousand taels on the table: "I'll buy Luo Sha!" ”
He took the voucher and put it in his pocket, and casually asked the old sand hermit: "By the way, how much do you have Lord Luosha?" ”
"No, Hoshino-sama I'm betting on."
The people around heard the conversation between the two, and they were quiet for a moment, and they burst into laughter in an instant.
The man's face froze, and he was immediately annoyed, and grabbed the other party's collar: "You TMD tricked me?" ”
The old sand hidden man was full of grievances: "You didn't ask me before you took it~"
Seeing that the man raised his fist, Lao Shayin hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't worry! I bet early, at that time Hoshino-sama 1:5, I thought about a small bet, even if I lost much, I made a big profit if I bet right. Now it falls to 1:2.5, then I will definitely choose Lord Luosha, although 1:1.6, but bet 100 to earn 160, stable! It's just that I partnered with someone else to do business some time ago, and now I can't take out the money, or if you lend me some, I will definitely pay it back! ”
The man listened to his explanation, his expression slowed down a lot, and he loosened his collar: "Brother, it's a pity that I don't have much money, you better borrow it from someone else, I don't know when this kind of good thing will be next time." ”
After saying that, he snapped his fingers at the bartender and asked for a glass of wine and sat aside.
At this moment, the dealer shouted: "In the last five minutes, I will buy and leave, and the plate will be sealed!" ”
Seeing this, the others couldn't laugh and thought about who to bet on, but after thinking about it, in the urging of the dealer, most people finally bet on Luo Sha.
Such a scene played out in various parts of the Sand Hidden Village, and with the sound of the door of the Elders' Council Hall closing, the gamble on the selection of the Wind Shadow was officially closed.
There are many people in the council hall today, and many tribal leaders, although they do not have the right to vote, are also present as witnesses on this special occasion.
The crowd stood around the round table of the Elders like stars and moons, and sat down after Chiyo had agreed.
Orange Juro sat next to Chiyo and watched the scene in front of him.
This scene has been staged countless times in the past, and he doesn't feel anything, but in recent years, he feels that something is not good.
Why do some people still hold on to their rights at their age?
Didn't you say you wouldn't ask about the village?
Faithless, greedy for authority.
Orange Juro's evaluation of Chiyo dropped a few points.
He glanced at Hoshino Mu, this guy is the key to controlling Sand Hidden Village, and when he runs out... Can give him decency.
At this moment, Hoshino seemed to feel his gaze, and turned his head to show him a kind smile.
What a simple teenager~
Orange Juro nodded at him, he was still young after all, and he didn't understand the sinister human heart.
Do you really think a pipe can buy him?
Hehe, although this kid is scheming, he is still quite immature in front of himself.
Chiyo's gaze swept over the faces of the elders, and he said in a weak and hoarse voice: "Everyone knows about today's affairs, so I won't say more, I won't ask about the matter of the wind shadow, and the elders will decide." ”
After saying that, she lay back with a thin and stiff body and closed her eyes.
As she moved, Ebizo and Cuttlefish Roe also crossed their arms around their chests, leaning back in their chairs and not intending to intervene in this matter.
On Orange Shiro's side, he was obviously prepared, and Dongsen took the lead in speaking: "At this meeting, I don't think everyone has anything to say, do things according to the prior agreement, become the king or defeat the king, and hurry up to organize the inauguration ceremony of Hoshino Mu." ”
As soon as Dongsen's voice fell, only one person snorted coldly: "The previous agreement was not fair, the lines of the two sides are different, it is obviously easier on Hoshino's side, I don't think it counts." ”
Dongsen smiled: "It's all said in advance, if you think it's unfair, why don't you mention it beforehand?" Luo Sha didn't object. ”
He wasn't fooled.
If the discussion is unfair, then there will be some nonsense, and it will not be clear for three days and three nights.
What Orange Juro wants here is to finalize the matter today.
"Luo Sha is young, and it is inevitable to be confused by villains."
Sand Eagle finished speaking in a flat tone, and glanced at Hoshino Makaki.
Hoshino Maki almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
In his twenties, father of two... It's still young, isn't it?
He quickly glanced at the people around him, and saw that everyone's faces did not change, and it seemed that he had become accustomed to this kind of nonsense.
The sand vulture frowned slightly when he saw the other party smiling.
With a hippie smile on such a solemn occasion, how can such a person be a wind shadow?
Orange Shiro slowly spoke: "Luo Sha is young and fine, there are no children here, right?" This matter was originally resolved by the Council of Elders, so presumably the elders will not overturn the decision of the Council of Elders, right? ”
Sand Vulture looked a little embarrassed, but still said: "The resolution of the Council of Elders is naturally not overturned, but such a big matter should be studied carefully, at least when the battle is over, it is not too late for both of them to come back." ”
"What, you mean that Raksha can come back and overturn the Presbyterian Council's decision?"
An elder next to him buttoned him a big hat.
"Of course not! What I mean is that the consideration of the candidates for the Wind Shadow should be more comprehensive, and it is better to add a few more assessment items..."
"Add a few? Will it be added until Rosa wins? ”
The two sides exchanged words and fierce confrontations, the round table was hammered, and the scene was gradually at a disadvantage.
This is also something that can't be helped, if you are really reasonable, you will lose the agreement, and Luo Sha is not there, it must be a disadvantage, so the sand eagle waved his hand: "Say more unintentionally, since this is the case, then vote to decide." ”
As he spoke, his gaze glanced imperceptibly toward Orange Juro.
If the ticket is drawn, things can be delayed, and if it goes well... I can't say that I can turn the tables in one fell swoop!
Chiyo seemed to have just woken up, and seeing that neither side objected, she said a little lazily: "Then vote, raise your left hand for Hoshino Mu, raise your right hand for Luo Sha, and count the votes for cuttlefish." ”
After saying that, he lay back down.
The sand vulture himself raised his right hand and looked at the same movement of Dongsen on the other side, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
The real confrontation is always under the round table.
He didn't pin all his hopes on Dongsen, especially when the other party scolded himself at the beginning, his attitude was not like acting, which made him think that the other party had temporarily changed his hexagram, but he didn't expect that he thought too much, and at the critical moment, the other party was not ambiguous.
An increase or decrease in this number of votes is a lore!
His eyes turned to Orange Juro's face, and he saw that the other party's expression was also very happy, even happier than himself.
It was a kind of joy that had been accumulated for many years and had exploded.
Is Orange Juro crazy?
A bad premonition filled his heart.
The sand vulture turned his head suddenly, only to see his two elders raise their left hands slightly to their ears at this time.
At this moment, the voice of cuttlefish roe sounded: "Luo Sha 3 votes, Hoshino Maki... 5 votes! ”
Seeing the sand eagle's burning eyes staring at him, the two of them suddenly felt like a thorn in their backs, and smiled awkwardly: "After listening to Elder Orange Juro's words, I think Hoshino Mu is more appropriate." ”
The ups and downs of life are so sudden, the front foot is still happy to backstab others, and the two knives on the back foot stab into his waist.
It's not that he didn't think that there would be traitors on his side, but he never thought that there would be two at once!
Orange Juro patted Dongsen's shoulder affectionately, looked at the other party's sweaty forehead, and handed over the handkerchief: "Why are you sweating profusely, is there so much pressure?" Quickly wipe it. ”
Dong Sen squeezed out a smile and stretched out his trembling hand to take the handkerchief: "Thank you, thank you." ”
He didn't think that his backstab would not be indicated, and he hurriedly looked up at the sand vulture for help, but what caught his eyes was the sand vulture's pale face and Yuta's disbelief in his eyes.
I bet on the wrong one again?!
Yuta swallowed hard, what is that... Is it too late to change nurses?
