The Land of the Wind.

Sand Hidden Village.

Kazekage's office.

"5 million taels? It's just a road to be repaired, so why do you need so much money? The village only gives 1 million! No more! ”

"To reclaim a new canal, you need to apply for 13 million taels? Only 3 million, love or not! ”

"The two Zhongninas died in the line of duty in the course of their duties, and the combined pension required 500,000 taels...... Ahem, the village's finances have been a little tight lately, and I'll talk about the pension next month. ”

"Why does the Shayin Village Orphanage need 2 million taels a month? More than 100 orphans, do you need so much money a month? The orphanage's funding will be cut to 1 million taels next month! ”

"Five elderly ninjas clamoring for three years of pension arrears? Hmph, let them wait! ”

"Hoo ......"

As the fourth-generation Wind Shadow of Shayin Village, "Luo Sha", the biggest problem every day is that Shayin Village is very poor, so poor that he, the fourth-generation Wind Shadow, has to pick and search in all aspects.

He also knows that it is difficult to do something well with such a small amount of money allocated to all parties.

But that's all the money for the village.

Even.

Sometimes the village is so poor that it needs him, the fourth-generation Wind Shadow, to go out and pan for gold in the desert.

If you finally find a little gold, you have to exchange it for money and smash it into the bottomless pit of Ninja Village.

Who said that to be the shadow of a village is to be at the pinnacle of power and omnipotent?

Luo Sha has never seen a shadow more bitter than himself!

I've never seen a poorer shadow than myself!

"Whew!" Luo Sha, who was sitting in a chair, sighed again, and he shook his head sadly: "If the funds of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind don't come over, the village will not be able to function." ”

Knock!

Knock!

Knock!

"Kazekage-sama! There is an urgent report! ”

There was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of a sand ninja.

"Come in!" The sorrowful look on Luo Sha's face quickly dissipated, and he put on a Sima face, and his tone was relatively low.

The office door was pushed open.

"Kazekage-sama!" The Sand Hidden Ninja who walked in hurriedly put the intelligence document in his hand on his desk: "This is an urgent report from Konoha Village, related to this Zhongnin exam." ”

"Oh?" Luo Sha raised his eyebrows, originally this time the middle ninja exam held in Konoha Village, Shayin Village did not want to participate.

Because, the village really couldn't allocate more money to let a group of shinobi go so far away to take the middle ninja exam.

But Konoha promised that all the expenses would be borne by Konoha.

So Luo Sha sent a pile of sand to endure it.

Anyway, there is no need for Shayin Village to pay for it. After all, even the travel expenses that traveled thousands of miles were reimbursed by Konoha Village.

"At this time period, the middle ninja exam shouldn't be over yet, right?"

Luo Sha flipped through the intelligence documents.

He opened his eyes and looked intently.

“……”

There was a sudden silence in the entire Kazekage's office.

Every line of text on the information made Luo Sha's eyes widen a little, and his face was full of unbelievable looks.

Poof-

The fingers pinching the intelligence documents were too hard to puncture the paper.

It is conceivable how ups and downs Luo Sha, the fourth-generation wind shadow, is in at the moment.

"Too much deception!!

"Too much deception!!

Two sentences in a row, "deceiving people too much" are enough to prove how angry he is.

The bruises on his forehead trembled with his anger.

"A bunch of pirates! How dare you come to threaten Shayin Village? ”

"That waste in Moma Heiji actually promised to give a ransom?"

"Rubbish!!"

"Bastard!!"

In a fit of rage, Luo Sha swept away all the items on the desk, and only clutched the intelligence documents in his hand.

"Mixed protein beard pirates, do you really think that Sand Hidden Village is muddy? Do you think that they can make the Sand Hidden Village fear them with just one pirate group? ”

"Ahem!" The old cough interrupted Rosha's gaffe.

An old man with a pale yellow bandage on his head and two white eyebrows that were beyond the average length stood in front of the office door.

This person is none other than Ebizo, one of the senior advisors of the Sand Hidden Village.

He is also a high-ranking figure in the retreat of Shayin Village.

Of course.

The so-called retreat to the second line is only nominal.

In fact, Ebizo still controls the intelligence agency of Shayin Village, and has a pivotal position in Shayin Village.

Even if Luo Sha is the fourth generation of the wind shadow.

But you also have to pay three respects to Ebizo.

"The old man found out that he had left his fishing gear in the office building yesterday, so he wanted to come and pick it up today. The old man had just taken away his fishing gear and wanted to leave the office building, when he happened to pass by. Ebizo explained that he wasn't eavesdropping.

"Kazekage-sama, what's going on? Can you tell me about this retired old man? ”

Ebizo said: "Although the old man can't do anything with this old bone, it's okay to give some advice." ”

"Humph! Check it out! Luo Sha threw the crumpled intelligence documents to Ebizo.

Ebizo stretched out his hand to take it.

Slowly, he opened the clutched intelligence file.

Squinting at a pair of presbyopia, he carefully looked at the text on it.

Ebizo's white eyebrows also began to wrinkle gradually.

The wrinkles on the face are crumpled together like tree lines.

"The Whitebeard Pirates have kidnapped more than a dozen of our lower ninjas in Shayin Village, and they still want us to redeem these lower ninjas with 20 million?"

Ebizo realized that this was indeed a tricky problem.

Especially when it comes to the Whitebeard Pirates.

For more than a year, the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates has been known to everyone in the ninja world.

And it's basically some "notoriety"!

"Kazekage-sama...... The Whitebeard Pirates are not to be underestimated. Ebizo coughed a few times, and he reminded in a serious tone, "Especially that Whitebeard in the Whitebeard Pirates, he once single-handedly destroyed the entire Kusanobi Village, and he also killed the four generations of Mizukage of the Fog Hidden Village. ”

"So what?" Luo Sha's face turned pale: "Are we going to give up 20 million taels to a pirate group?" ”

He doesn't think he's worse than Whitebeard.

Destroy a grass ninja village! A small ninja village like Grass Ninja Village, he doesn't even need to make a move as a wind shadow, he can just send a Upper Ninja and a few middle ninjas from Sand Hidden Village, and he can also "raze to the ground" a Grass Ninja Village.

As for the four generations of Mizukage in Fog Hidden Village?

It's just an old imp who can't grow up at all!

What about even the strength of a perfect human column? When he was young, he Luo Sha did not suppress the Tailed Beast alone.

To know...... Back then, every time the tailed beast in Shayin Village got out of control, it was he Luo Sha who suppressed it.

He thinks that if he fights with the four generations of Mizukage......

You can kill four generations of Mizukage yourself!

That's what I think.

Luo Sha felt that his strength was not much worse than that of Whitebeard.

It's okay to get a tie.

"Kazekage-sama, if Sand Hidden Village and the Whitebeard Pirates go to war, we will face more than just a Whitebeard Pirates." Ebizo was calmer: "When the time comes, we will have to face a grass ninja village and a shadowless fog hidden village. ”

"If the Whitebeard Pirates have a strength comparable to that of Ninja Village, plus the assistance of Grass Ninja Village and Fog Hidden Village. In this way, it is equivalent to three ninja villages besieging us. ”

"Kazekage-sama, we'll be very passive."

Ebizo continued, "The intelligence also said that Konoha stopped the water in an instant and joined the Whitebeard Pirates. The Uchiha clan of Konoha has a lot to do with the Whitebeard Pirates. ”

"In case, Konoha is also involved......"

Hai Laozang's tone was serious: "That is equivalent to four ninja villages, besieging one of our Sand Hidden Villages!" And the people in our village are too young, and it is difficult for that child to participate in a war. ”

"It may turn into a disaster that destroys the village!"

Luo Sha: "......"

This sentence after sentence made the angry Luo Sha calm down a little.

He pondered what Ebizo had said.

Luo Sha suddenly gritted his teeth.

Because Ebizo is right.

"The question is." Luo Sha's face was blue and black, and he was silent for more than ten seconds, and finally held back this sentence: "There is not so much money." ”

Outside the window, a strong wind that is unique to the desert was blowing.

A burst of yellow sand flew by.

The office fell into a dead silence.

"Lord Kazekage, we must spend money to redeem those dozen shinobi, otherwise, the hearts of the people in the village will be scattered." Ebizo made a suggestion: "Or, Kazekage-sama, you will work harder?" ”

Although Ebizo's words were not very clear, he just wanted Luo Sha to go to the depths of the desert to dig for more gold.

As long as you suffer a bitter Shadow Lord.

The days of Shayin are much better.

Luo Sha: "......"

……

Land of Rain.

Rain Ninja Village.

All the forces that belong to Sanshoyu Hanzo have been completely wiped out by the Xiao Organization, and anyone who is biased towards Sanshoyu Hanzo will be assassinated by the Xiao Organization.

The entire Rain Ninja Village was controlled by Nagato in a very rough way.

"Payne", who appears in front of outsiders, becomes the "god" of Rain Ninja Village.

Xiao Nan became God's "angel".

Yes.

The legendary ninja demigod Sanshoyu Hanzo has been killed by the Akatsuki organization some time ago.

In addition, Nagato flatters a policy of closing off the country, and outsiders don't know what happened in Rain Ninja Village.

Many people don't know that Rain Ninja Village has changed hands.

When Konoha Village invited Rain Ninja Village to participate in the middle ninja exam, he thought that the legendary ninja demigod was still alive.

Konoha and the telegrams and letters that contact the Rain Ninja Village all begin with "Your Excellency Sanshoyu Hanzo".

I don't know......

These telegrams and letters will all fall into Xiao Nan's hands.

And at the moment.

A telegram from Konoha fell into Xiao Nan's hands again.

But the telegram from Konoha was not sent by someone from Konoha Village, but from someone from their Rain Ninja Village.

"Nagato, look." Xiao Nan handed the telegram translation in his hand to Nagato with a complicated face.

Nagato, who was sitting in a wheelchair, reached out and took it in confusion.

Nagato looked closely.

"Huh?"

He looked surprised.

Xiao Nan shook his head helplessly: "I didn't expect that the lower ninjas who were sent over to participate in the middle ninja exam would be arrested, this year...... The blackmail has come to Xiao's head. ”

Nagato thought for a moment and said, "After all, they don't know that the Rain Ninja Village has fallen into our hands, and the Whitebeard Pirates think that it is the Rain Ninja Village that is being blackmailed, not our Xiao Organization. ”

He looked at Xiao Nan: "Are we going to pay this ransom?" The ransom of 9 million taels is not a small amount, right? ”

Xiao Nan said rationally: "If you want to suppress the information that Yunin Village has changed hands, we have to pay this ransom." Because at this stage, we have to keep a certain low profile. ”

"Although 9 million taels is a lot, those ninjas who have redeemed it can let them carry out mercenary assassination missions for free, and this money is what they owe us."

Nine lower ninjas and one leading the upper ninja.

If these ten rain ninjas are desperate to carry out the task for free.

It will only take a year or two.

You will be able to repay this debt.

"Then do what you want!" Nagato opened his mouth and said, "Half a month ago, didn't Kakudo kill two A-class renegades from Iwa Ninja Village? I remember that he got a lot of bounty at that time, and I could ask him for the 9 million taels. ”

"Understood." Xiao Nan nodded, but when she was about to turn to leave, she paused and looked back at them: "There is a question, who brought the money over?" ”

She was referring to taking Konoha with her.

"Hmm...... Let's go! Nagato thought for a moment: "Orochimaru that guy is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, I already want to kick him out of the Xiao organization, the Uchiha Itachi who just joined is on a mission with Loquat Shizo, and the scorpion claims to be in retreat to make a puppet that specializes in dealing with Whitebeard, let's try not to disturb him recently, this guy Kakuto doesn't know where to run, and he may be chasing which bounty criminal." ”

"The guy 'Madara Uchiha' has always been a dragon, and although the newcomer named Ah Fei is very good, his personality is too jumpy and not stable enough, and I'm worried that he will be tricked out of information. Some other supernumerary newcomers, I don't trust them very much. ”

Nagato paused and continued, "At present, among the few idle personnel in the organization, you are the only one who is the most suitable. ”

"Okay!" Xiao Nan has no opinion.

Although she is a core member of the Xiao organization, in the past, Konoha only needed to change into the uniform and forehead guard of the Rain Ninja Village.

The general dress in Rain Ninja Village is basically to hide your head and not show your face.

In addition, few people in the entire ninja world know who she is.

Xiao Nan took on the task.

"Xiao Nan, be careful." Nagato suddenly reminded: "If Konoha accidentally touches that Shimura Danzo, you have to hold back the hatred that swells up in your heart." ”

"Someday...... We'll make him feel the pain! ”

Xiao Nan's footsteps were paused again, and it seemed that the name of the Konoha Pot King made a little wave in her heart.

After all, Yahiko's death was the ghost of Shimura Danzou and Sanshoyu Hanzo, two ninja world veterans uniting together.

Xiao Nan slowly took a deep breath and calmed the emotions in his heart.

"I know, I'll take care of the big picture."

Her figure faded away.

……

Time, a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Among the group of Shinobi from various villages who were captured by the Whitebeard Pirates, a group of Shinobi belonging to Konoha Village have been ransomed by Konoha Village.

It was Kakashi who came to ransom people with 64 million taels.

There was no way, among the ninjas who dared to approach the temporary residence of the Whitebeard Pirates, Kakashi was one of the few people.

And in the village, there are some rumors about the three generations of Hokage, and the "rumors" have not been shattered because of the explicit ban.

On the contrary, it is because of the very tough method of ape flying and slashing that it makes people feel that all conspiracy theories are really hammered.

After all.

In the eyes of most people, if the conspiracy theories they discussed weren't true, why were the three Hokages in such a hurry?

It must be because they guessed correctly by mistake!

This has led to conspiracy theories that have not been stifled.

On the contrary, it is still circulating in secret.

There are also quite a few people who believe in conspiracy theories.

Ape Fei Ri wanted to save his image through such an act, but he didn't expect that his behavior would make his image completely unsaved.

Recently, many people always have a bit of colored glasses when they look at him, the third generation Hokage.

It's just that no one dares to say it.

And the Whitebeard Pirates are here...... Naruto, Sasuke, Haku, and Izumi, the four of them have been concentrating on penance these days.

Because they have to take the middle ninja exam.

There is only one week left until the third round of exams.

Hinata and Kazo go to school as usual. Because only the first round of the middle ninja exam was borrowed from the ninja school, now the first round of the middle exam has long ended, and the ninja school naturally continues to open.

And in these days...... Whitebeard didn't rest either, he was training his children.

The ghost shark, the water stop, and the Feng clan are the objects of Whitebeard's special training.

"Stupid daughter! Seeing and hearing the domineering 'listening' is not for you to listen with your ears! Xiang Phosphorus's sights and smells are about to awaken, as a mother, you can't lag behind your daughter! ”

"Oni shark! You too, you two plug your ears! ”

"Stop the water, you're making rapid progress! Goloo ”

When you train your own children.

Whitebeard is the image of sternness.

Because Whitebeard knows that he must not be vague or perfunctory in making his children stronger.

Yes, Whitebeard is preparing to completely popularize the entire Whitebeard Pirates with the domineering and armed domineering.

He's going to make his stupid sons and stupid daughters stronger.

Let them all be on their own!

Whitebeard's first teaching is to see and hear.

Now.

Dried persimmon ghost shark, Uzumaki Feng clan, and Uchiha Shisui, all three of them were blindfolded, and their ears were also blocked by earplugs.

They can't see anything, and they can't hear anything.

Whitebeard carried a wine vat in his left hand, and after pouring a few sips of wine into his mouth, he grabbed a large handful of rubble with his other hand.

"Goo-la-la-la!" Whitebeard grinned: "If within a month, your domineering spirit has not yet been introduced, then your domineering awakening training volume will have to be tripled!" ”

As soon as Whitebeard's voice fell, he threw a large handful of gravel in his hand forward.

Whoosh –

A large amount of rubble burst out of the air, disrupting the air flow ahead.

The three who were already closed to their sight and hearing.

I can't feel the flow of air.

You can only entrust everything to your own mysterious intuition.

Stopping water is the calmest of the three.

He has already followed his father to learn to see and hear for a while, and the domineering sight and smell of the water is about to cross the threshold.

Even if you can't see anything, you can't hear anything, you can't feel anything.

But the water is still calmly dodging the gravel.

It was as if a third eye was watching the rubble.

Feng Shi and Ghost Shark are the two most miserable.

Fortunately, he is very strong, and he can dodge some of the rubble with his intuition of danger alone. In addition, the physique is very special, and it is not a big deal for the ghost shark to be hit by gravel.

Although the Feng Clan's Vortex Clan physique is also very special, her particularity is shown in her resilience and chakra volume.

And not the body's defenses.

Bang bang bang - one stone after another hit her body, and the Vortex Feng Clan was already scarred, but her expression was a little stubborn and persistent.

……

Meanwhile.

Konoha Gate.

"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've been back!" A gloomy voice came from a pale-skinned woman.

Her pair of golden vertical pupils are particularly eye-catching: "Teacher Ape Fei, the last time you showed mercy to your subordinates and let me escape from Konoha is still vivid!" Hehe! ”

In order to bring Jun Maro back smoothly......

Orochimaru came in person.

Because there are not many people in the Ninja Village at this stage who can use it. It just so happened that in order to raise a ransom, Orochimaru came to the Land of Fire to complete a ninja mission, and just happened to be able to come to Konoha Village along the way.

Orochimaru stood in front of the Konoha gate in this way.

He didn't feel like he would be recognized.

Because it's a new body, a woman's body.

"These two things are really cumbersome."

Orochimaru frowned and looked down, and from his vantage point, he couldn't see his toes.

For some reason, Orochimaru's mind popped up with Tsunade's appearance.

Mine seems to be a little smaller than Tsunade.

"A woman's body is really troublesome!"

He muttered coldly.
