Chapter 1021

Luo Sha, as the fourth generation, must have certain political ambitions.

Not to mention surpassing the strongest third generation Kage, at least he couldn't lose by a few points.

It was just that he lost the Shinobi War as soon as he took office and was saddled with debt from Konoha.

After the Ninja War, he had to accept the daimyo's act of actively entrusting tasks to Konoha.

His lover died to give birth to Gaara, and without suitable personnel, his younger son also became a jinchūriki.

After working hard every day, I have to go mining in the name of practicing the secret art of alluvial gold...

It can be said that the fourth generation is the most miserable Kazekage.

So facing the bait thrown by the Akatsuki organization, he decided after reading the letter more than three times and carefully studying Chiyo's letter.

Regardless of whether the bait in front of him was deadly poison or something else, Talasa drank it.

He immediately pulled the few remaining guys in the village who could speak and held a semi-disabled high-end meeting.

Without Chiyo and Ebizo, the quality and average level of these jounin dropped a lot.

Those who had previously opposed Luo Sha were all sent to the most brutal front line at the end of the Third War, so almost all of them who were left behind were their own troops.

Chapter 172 Walking in the Sun

"Everyone, this is a letter of intent for cooperation from the Akatsuki Organization of the Kingdom of Rain. The information about the Five Shadows Conference and the current situation of the Kingdom of Rain have been analyzed before and will not be repeated again.

The new economic mutual aid platform is an opportunity that the two elders who stayed there fought for for the village.

This is the project introduction and some opinions of Elder Chiyo. Let’s discuss it together. "

Just as Luo Sha thought, those who could attend the meeting had almost no objections to the cooperative development, and were even very happy.

It's not like Feng Ying is the only one who is having a hard time, they are also having a hard time.

Sand Ninja Village is a village where it is rare to earn extra money, unlike the ninja clan in Konoha who have many other sources of income.

The gap in consumption power and population between the two villages is very obvious.

Ninjas cannot practice ninjutsu or secret techniques without mission income, and if they fall behind in strength, they will continue to lose.

It is no longer a secret that the birth rate of the new generation is declining, and the number of genin trained in ninja schools is decreasing year by year.

Everyone felt that if this continued, the village would probably end in the hands of their own generation.

Suna Ninja's prediction was correct. After Gaara took office, it was already difficult for the village to return.

Apart from the jinchūriki, the only ones that the new generation can use are the other two children of the village chief's family. There are almost no traces of other talents.

Gaara fought in the sky for a while and no one could come up to support him. Even the task of rescuing the Kazekage required asking Konoha for help.

At that time, the Sand Ninja Village had to thank the villages under the five majors for being particularly crotchless, otherwise its absolute status would not be guaranteed.

"Master Kazekage, what Elder Chiyo said certainly makes sense."

"There are several things here that don't seem very reasonable and do not conform to the logic of the ninja world. Moreover, various investments also involve the reform of the village."

"For example, there are requirements such as training qualified ordinary operators for factories to provide jobs."

"But...this is not a bad thing."

"The changes in Konoha Village have been vigorous since the White Fang's son came to power, and the result is that the decayed village has regained its vitality.

They even solved the funding problem during the reform, which shows that this path can still be used as a reference. "

"Although our village has no money now, our will will not lose to those weaklings."

"As for the daimyo, they must be seen in person. Many projects are not accessible to Ninja Village."

"No wonder they are so rich. The economy of a country of rain must be larger than that of a Shinobi village... tsk tsk."

"But even if there is any conspiracy, we still have the Kazekage-sama, the Jinchūriki, and the five Ninja Village-level ninjas to rely on."

"What we should really worry about is the Akatsuki organization."

The confidence of the five major ninja villages has not been lost yet. In any case, there will be no secret organization in this world that can exceed the size of the village.

Strength is power. If the Xiao organization is interested, we can cooperate and achieve win-win results.

If you don't know what's interesting... hum.

It is impossible to think that the last of our five majors is a vegetarian.

After everyone's unanimous decision, the top management of Suna Ninja Village initially approved the economic cooperation with the Akatsuki organization, but it needed to be discussed in detail.

Rasa replied seriously to Chiyo, expressing his willingness to invite the Akatsuki organization to Sand Ninja Village for detailed negotiations on cooperation.

I hope that the two elders, Chiyo and Ebizo, will try their best to convey goodwill without damaging the dignity of the village.

…

Chiyo was speechless when she received the reply.

too fast.

Every time I come back to the village, the Anbu's legs are running away and smoking, and have you discussed anything?

Fortunately, I abandoned the influence of family ties and wrote so many worries and speculations at the back of the letter. You didn't listen at all to the suggestion that the Akatsuki organization might harbor evil intentions.

But when she thought about the real situation in the village, she sighed helplessly, money~~~

If he didn't go to Noah immediately, that would only make people look down on their own village.

Chiyo suppressed her inner anxiety and continued to collect intelligence in the new town, and the collection was targeted.

We also conducted private inspections on heavy machinery, education and training, and several key cooperation projects.

After checking several points of the exchange that day, I found that there was indeed no big problem before I came to the tower again.

"We have preliminary intentions for cooperation..."

A few simple words stayed in the old man's mouth for a long time.

“So Lord Kazekage invited the person in charge of relevant aspects of the Akatsuki organization to go to the village for exchanges.

As for the famous names, we will introduce them if our conversation intention is more suitable. "

"Okay, the Akatsuki organization will organize a suitable commercial inspection team to go there."

"Aren't you going?"

Chiyo was a little confused. In her opinion, this very scary and difficult guy didn't want to go?

"Yes, we have dedicated personnel in charge of the initial exchange of cooperation intentions."

Noah is very busy, so just leave such small things to Yahiko and Xia.

"Scorpion! How could he!!! How could he... go back to the village..."

Chiyo stood up immediately and panicked.

You must know that Xie is...but...the person who assassinated Feng Ying...

She never forgave the child for this matter.

Chiyo wished that her grandson could stay in the Land of Rain and study his art silently to avoid being hunted by the village.

Wouldn't it be a trap to go back like this? No matter how powerful an individual is, he will not be able to confront the five major ninja villages head-on until he transcends the limitations of the ninja.

Even hiding in a puppet or changing one's appearance is extremely risky. A ninja can't track a person just by his appearance.

The Akatsuki organization wants to use grandson's life as a reason to start a war, but it won't work!

Concern leads to chaos, and there are thousands of thoughts in Chiyo's mind.

"That...Elder Chiyo."

"The technical support staff I mentioned before is Xie Ya. He has been researching desert-type machinery and he also understands the terrain very well. He is the most suitable candidate."

"Xie just left the village for many years to study puppetry. Although it is no different from rebelling against the village, it is just a matter of words with an elder like you here."

"This time, he returned to the village with a huge amount of funds and technology to start construction. This is not a proper overseas entrepreneur."

"Don't you know how to settle accounts in your village?"

"Don't you want your grandson to walk under the sun?"

…

Walking under the sun...

These words made Chiyo freeze in place.

"The Third Kazekage is the strongest Kazekage. So far, no one in Sand Ninja Village, from the top to the common people, believes that he will die. They just treat him as missing."

"And Xie was just a young ordinary genius back then."

"Not many people have connected the disappearances of these two people."

"When the time comes, I will give an epic reason to let the villagers know that Xie is not rebelling against the village, but fighting for the future of the village."

"I came back now to help the village get on the right track. Otherwise, why would the Akatsuki organization use such favorable conditions to cooperate with Suna Ninja Village?"

"Besides, besides Elder Qianyo... who else knows the truth..."

Reasonable and well-founded, the cause and effect relationship is sorted out clearly.

Chiyo recalled what her grandson once said about Noah.

"...You are truly a devil."

Chapter 173 Welcome the Akatsuki Organization

The Suna Ninja delegation who stayed in the Land of Rain will set off back to their village today.

Also returning together was the negotiation team of the economic cooperation platform organized by Xiao.

The leader of the team is Yahiko, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, as well as several technicians and several rain ninjas.

The red-haired young man in the team made the Sand Ninjas look at him frequently.

"This is Scorpion, my grandson."

God knows how excited Chiyo felt after saying these words.

Maybe this matter will just go away, as long as no one sees the third Kazekage's... corpse in the future.

Then it would be great if Scorpion returned to the village and became the mainstay.

With the support of himself and Ebizo, although he is not practicing the shadow's magnetic escape and sand control technique, the puppet technique can be considered orthodox, and he might even be expected to become the fifth generation Kazekage.

And it can be far away from that mysterious guy Noah, which is simply the best way to unfold it.

Ebizo was a little worried. He always felt that his sister was not as capable as he said, but rather seemed to be manipulated by others.

When the news about Scorpion came back to the village, they just ignored it for the time being. This matter was not that simple.

But he also knew that he could not stop anything. Both the Akatsuki organization and the village were deviating from the original track and making contact.

In this way, the mission returned, carrying many mechanical samples and a large number of light industrial products to the village.

"This train is really convenient."

The Ninja Mission was not slow when walking on foot, and they were able to cross mountains and ridges almost unaffected by the terrain.

The information scroll can be stored in the pocket, and the large and valuable items can be stored in the sealing scroll.

So the shock of the train is far less than that of ordinary businessmen.

It was only when I picked up some equipment samples and supplies on the return trip that I discovered the excellence of this transportation tool.

After getting off the train, it was okay to switch to an ordinary transport convoy, and walking on the wide road was quite smooth.

Chiyo somewhat expected that the Kingdom of Wind could also build such railways and highways, but... the daimyo was not so easy to persuade.

Moreover, the cost of building such transportation roads in the Wind Country will be higher.

After leaving the Kingdom of Rain, the mission's progress was obviously much slower. This was still a speed that could only be achieved if all the members were ninjas.

When arriving in desert areas, even the route must follow the twists and turns on the map.
