Chapter 400: Attack on Raksha
Ever since the ninja army who led the Joint Counter-Terrorism Force returned to the Land of the Wind, Raksha sensed that the "companions" of the sand seemed to have some opinions about what they had done, and sometimes looked at them a little differently.
But Raksha doesn't care.
Especially after accompanying the Great Elder Hai Laozang to inspect the Sand Hidden Standing Ninja Army, Luo Sha became even more indifferent to what other people thought.
Compared with the Shogunate Ninja Army, Sand Yin is too far behind in terms of tactics, armament, training, and even tacit cooperation!
Although the ninja army brought back to the Land of Wind under his command was only about 700 people, Raksha felt confident that he could defeat more than three times the Iwakure ninja army in one fell swoop with this force!
Coupled with the Sand Hidden Ninja of the same faction, Raksha's strength can already compete with the Patriarch faction of Ebizo.
As for Ye Cang, who is in charge of the Inspectorate and is quite popular among the upper ninjas, Luo Sha does not take her seriously.
After all, Luo Sha is well aware of the herbaceous nature of the sand hidden ninjas, as long as there are enough benefits, then with a little tricks, the Inspectorate can turn against him.
What's more, Luo Sha's strength can also stabilize Ye Cang!
Especially after entering the Temple of the Wind and reaching an agreement with the contemporary one-tailed human pillar force, Luo Sha is even more fearless.
As for the traces of the three generations of wind shadows...... After Luo Sha led his troops back to the Land of Wind, the news of the disappearance of the Wind Shadow spread, and although the people in the village were divided, everyone was most concerned about who the throne of the next generation would be.
After all, the position of the Wind Shadow is not only a simple head of the ninja village, but also a ruling power, ruling one of the five great powers!
Of course, the Sand Hidden Ninjas' pursuit of the truth about the disappearance of the three generations of Kazekage is not completely abandoned.
Under the guidance of the anti-terrorist ninjas, the Shadow Guard changed the fanfare search for the whereabouts of the three generations of Kazekage to secretly track down the murderer, and began to investigate the inside of the ninja village to try to sift everyone through.
But this did not prevent the unwilling Hakura from trying to fight back against the Raksha organization.
Although the forces of the Inspectorate were disturbed by Luo Sha, Ye Cang still organized his diehard faction and gathered a ninja army of up to 3,000 people.
And Luo Sha did not show weakness, on the basis of the anti-terrorist force, he also gathered his own supporters and agreed to organize a Sand Hidden Ninja Army, which also numbered as many as 2,000 people, and occupied the eastern area of the headquarters of the Sand Hidden Ninja Village, and confronted the Hakura forces that occupied the western area.
As for the Patriarch faction in Ebizo, they maintained the stability of the southern region.
The main point of contention between Yecang and Luo Sha is the northern area where the Shayin arsenal is located.
……
For several days, there were endless assassinations within the Sand Hidden Ninja Village.
Although it seemed calm during the day, at night, the interior of the Sand Hidden Ninja Village was immediately plunged into a bloody storm, with kunai shurikens flying all over the sky, veiled sand ninjas killing each other, and those civilians could only endure it in silence.
Although the ninja village is bitter, compared to the hellish life in the oases all over the country of the wind, Sand Hide is simply heaven. So even though there are often fights that hurt innocents, civilians just silently collect the dead the next day, and then do what to do.
After all, poverty cannot be moved.
"Ninja Village can't go on like this any longer!"
In the end, the unbearable Ebizo threatened with force, so that the main figures of the two major factions, Raksha and Hakura, were seated at the negotiating table.
"A loyal dog of the shogunate, how can he compete for the position of Kazekage!"
The menacing Ye Cang took the lead in firing the cannon, and the spearhead was aimed at Luo Sha's weakness.
“…… Don't make personal attacks! ”
Great Elder Hai Laozang's face was also very ugly, and he felt that Ye Cang, who couldn't see the situation clearly, was really not good.
Regardless of Raksha's identity and position, but in the final analysis, he is a ninja from Sand Hide, and his service in the shogunate system is also the three generations of Kazekage who specially sent him over in order to reflect the friendship of the Konoha Sand Hidden Alliance, as for the name of the so-called "Shogunate Loyal Dog", in the eyes of Ebizo, it is just that some of the Sand Hide, who is jealous of Raksha's merits, deliberately slandered.
And more importantly, the current Sagakure simply doesn't have the ability to tear his face with the shogunate or even Konoha at all! Even the oases that are the pillars of the economy are mostly contracted by the United Company, and the hired ninjas stationed in the oases everywhere and the Konoha Western Border Defense Force stationed in the Kawano Country are not something that Sand Hide can easily provoke!
Therefore, Ye Cang's words are very inappropriate.
The leader who doesn't even understand forbearance is not a good wind shadow suitable for Shayin!
Once again, Ebizo felt that his decision to recall Raksha was the right one.
"Raksha Shangnin! Do you dare to tell who you are loyal to! ”
Hakura asked menacingly, "Are you loyal to the Shogunate?" ”
"As the commander of the first column of the Joint Counter-Terrorism Force, I am loyal to my duty! As a sand ninja, my allegiance is to the indomitable will of the wind! ”
Rocha replied with his head held high.
Although this answer was not perfect, it still won the secret approval of some of the people present.
"How the hell did you get the title of Son of the Wind!"
Ye Cang still didn't give up and continued to ask.
"Granted by the shogunate!"
Luo Sha did not show weakness, "This is the best proof that the Sand Hidden Ninja is not weaker than others!" ”
Long before the negotiations began, Luo Sha discussed the response with his cronies. Because his personal resume is well known to Shayin, the final way to deal with it is to face the challenge with a straight ball, and package his deeds as "winning glory for Shayin".
In this way, although the imposing Ye Cang took the initiative on the surface, it seemed that the pattern was not enough, and he was a little unforgiving.
"In that case, who can believe that you can truly be loyal to Shayin!"
Ye Cang thought he had a plan, so he sneered and said: "So, you are not suitable to inherit the position of Kazekage at all, so you should resign from the shogunate and go back to the village to sit and wait for the next term!" ”
"Who said I was going to inherit the throne of Kazekage?"
Luo Sha immediately asked rhetorically.
"Huh!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!
"The Wind Shadow is the leader of all the Sand Hides, how can it be a mundane thing that you and I can privately grant here!"
Luo Sha grabbed Ye Cang's loophole and immediately began to fight back violently: "Ye Cang Shangshinobi, your mind is very problematic!" “
"Ninja Village is not a ninja village for one person! You're treating the village as your own property! ”
"You have forgotten the will of the three generations of adults to lead all the sand and nobles to resist the oppression of the daimyo nobles and be the first in the ninja world!"
"There is no tolerance for people, and there is no international vision, and the ninjas in the same village are regarded as enemies! Hakura Kamishinobi, you are so bold! If a fool like you wins the position of Kazekage, it will be the misfortune of all the Sand Hidden Ninjas! ”
Luo Sha mercilessly criticized Ye Cang from all dimensions, and her face was red and her eyes were fierce.
After taking a deep breath, Ye Cang calmed down again.
But then Rosa's statement made her angry again.
"Everyone, bear with me!"
Having the upper hand, Luo Sha continued to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
"In my opinion, the position of the four generations of Wind Shadow should be decided by a joint vote of all the upper ninjas! And this is also a key step for us to move from closure to civilization! ”
Regardless of faction, the shinobi in attendance all nodded in agreement.
They have long been envious of the rights of the ninjas on Konoha! It's just that the tradition of Sakure's dictatorship is deeply rooted, and the so-called system is just a flash in the pan.
Now that Luo Sha, who is a fourth-generation Fengying candidate, has proposed, everyone doesn't mind giving it a boost.
Great Elder Hai Laozang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more.
His grandson, Scorpion, is still young, and his personality is withdrawn and lacks prestige, so he has no possibility of running for the Wind Shadow at all, so he doesn't bother to refute this move, which is actually weakening the authority of the Patriarch faction.
And the great arrogator is more than that.
"In addition, we must embrace the progress of the times and strive to achieve ...... with our joint companies."
"Didn't you say you didn't plan to inherit the throne of the Wind Shadow!"
Ye Cang hurriedly interrupted Luo Sha's words.
"Shinobu Hakura...... Please pay attention. ”
Luo Sha laughed, "The position of Kazekage was elected by all the upper ninjas, and I, as well as all the upper ninjas here, have equal rights to campaign!" ”
"What Fang just said is just the words of the next family, just say it and let everyone correct it!"
"Could it be...... Don't you even have the most basic platform for succession? ”
Ye Cang was so angry that green smoke began to rise above his head.
And the Great Elder sighed secretly, and simply began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Although this negotiation has completely deviated from the original intention, he has no intention of correcting it.
After all...... Now he is a lonely old man with only one relative.
The unforgiving Raksha continued to give passionate speeches, drawing a beautiful blueprint for the sand hidden ninjas.
This includes, but is not limited to, ninja elders, retirement benefits, armament reorganization plans, and so on.
Even the Oasis tax issue, which is of most concern to the Shayin, Luo Sha promised to renegotiate with the joint company after the expiration date to determine a reasonable amount of tax package.
Raksha even put forward a bold hypothesis, that is, through the framework of the shogunate, he and the country of rain to discuss the "transfer of water from the east to the west", so as to realize the future of the "desert into an oasis" in the northeast of the country of wind.
Although the upper ninjas felt that many of Luo Sha's words were just paintings that were not feasible, compared to Ye Cang, who was speechless at this time, it seemed that Luo Sha had a strategy and was a suitable candidate for the next generation of Kazekage.
“…… That's it! ”
When the dry-mouthed Raksha finished his speech, Ebizo immediately delivered the final blow, leaving no chance for the red-faced Hakura.
"Within three days from now on, all applicants who are interested in running for Kazekage will be accepted to apply; Five days later, voting for the Kazekage election begins! ”
Ebizo looked at everyone and made his own decision.
Although it was a bit hasty, none of the people in the sand were in a hurry.
They still need time to digest the contents of Luo Sha's "election platform", and Hakura is in a hurry to go back and discuss with his cronies how to deal with it.
……
"Is this true......
After returning to the eastern area of Sand Hidden Ninja Village, after reading the investigation report on the disappearance of the three generations of Wind Shadow sent by the captain of the shadow guard, Luo Sha couldn't help but sigh.
After an extremely large amount of work to check their whereabouts, the Shadow Guard screened out several suspects, and the first of them was Ebizo's grandson, the genius puppeteer of Sha Yin - Scorpion!
"There's no evidence yet, but Shinobu Scorpion disappeared without a trace after Kazekage-sama entered the desert!"
The face of the captain of the Shadow Guard was also very ugly: "And his reappearance is after we organized the ninja army to enter the Devil Desert to search!" ”
“…… The problem is that there is no evidence! ”
Although the Shadow Guard of the three generations of Kazekage is currently one of his strongest supporters, Raksha still can't make up his mind.
"Raksha Shangnin! That's Kazekage-sama! ”
The captain of the Shadow Guard immediately said, "If you don't find out clearly, are you so relieved to take over the position of the fourth generation?" ”
"This is the biggest instability factor in the village!"
“…… How many other people on the suspect list have checked? ”
Rosha took a deep breath and tried to change the subject.
"Now only the Scorpion Shinobu is not being interrogated!"
The Captain of the Shadow Guard replied immediately.
It means that according to the whereabouts elimination method, only the scorpion is still suspicious!
But Rosha was still undecided, and it was difficult to choose.
The followers under his command are at most between Ye Cang and Ye Cang, and the upper ninja ticket may also have the upper hand; In this way, the number of ninja votes sent by the patriarchs of Ebizo became the key to victory.
Although he has gained some support from the neutral Shinobi through his election platform, if he offends the high-ranking elder Kai Laozo by tracking down the disappearance of three generations, it may be detrimental to his campaign......
"Raksha Shangnin! What are you waiting for! ”
The captain of the Shadow Guard shouted, "Could this be your decision as a fourth-generation Wind Shadow!" ”
"Now immediately organize manpower to determine the whereabouts of the scorpion and monitor it!"
After weighing the pros and cons, Luo Sha finally made up his mind, "Until the Great Elder and I are sure about this matter, no one is allowed to do it!" ”
