Chapter 695 Cruel News
The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.
Kazekage office.
"Yashamaru, are you sure there is nothing wrong with the report you submitted at the beginning? Iwagakure really has the idea of wiping out the Ninja Sect?" Luo Sha frowned.
"In that meeting, Iwagakure of Liudo Castle did express this intention." Yashamaru replied.
The all-in-one estrangement plan they had prepared had not yet been used. As soon as Iwagakure opened his mouth, he began to denounce the Ninja sect's ambition. This was obviously not the attitude that a normal partner should show.
"Then why has Iwagakure been avoiding the topic of cooperation in sending troops?"
At first, Rasa was delighted with Yashamaru's progress and quickly sent ninjas to have formal discussions with Iwagakure, but the result was Unsatisfactory.
Iwagakure did not show any intention of refusing to cooperate, but whenever Sunagakure proposed to send troops to kill the Ninja clan together, Iwagakure began to shirk in various ways.
They even said that they could assist Sunagakure with supplies, but they could not send ninjas to the battlefield because the war in the ninja world had caused too much damage to Iwagakure.
Luo Sha believed that he was a ghost. In the last battle, Iwagakure fell to his knees so quickly that no one suffered much loss.
As for before, although Iwagakure suffered some defeats in Konoha, it can never be said that the damage was too great.
"Maybe you want to take the opportunity to weaken our Sunagakure's power?" Yashamaru thought for a while and replied.
Rather than jointly sending troops, Iwagakure definitely wants to be a quiet and peaceful person.
"Maybe, but Iwagakure is actually willing to devote so many resources to support us, which is weird." Luo Sha crossed his arms and showed a thoughtful expression.
Although Iwagakure seemed to avoid fighting, he was surprisingly willing to give money, which made Luo Sha a little moved.
It is no exaggeration to say that the money given by Iwagakure in the conditions is almost enough to hire Sunagakure to fight a battle.
And the Ninja Sect will indeed affect Sunagakure's interests and is a force that Sunagakure needs to fight against.
After thinking about it carefully, Luo Sha felt that there was a problem. Everyone was a ninja village, and Iwagakure also needed money. Why was Iwagakure willing to pay for it.
Because the matter was too important, Luo Sha could not make the decision alone, so he asked the Sunagakure ANBU to summon the senior management of Sunagakure to discuss it.
"Advisor Chiyo, advisor Ebizo." Rasa, who sat in the conference room in advance, greeted Chiyo and Ebizo quickly when she saw them arriving.
If it were an ordinary high-level person, Rasa, as the fourth generation Kazekage, would naturally not need to do this.
These two are indeed somewhat different.
The first is qualifications. Chiyo and Ebizo were already well-known senior leaders of Sunagakure Village during the Second Ninja War, and they are the oldest seniors in Sunagakure Village today. Sunagakure.
The second thing is the strength and power of the two people.
Chiyo is currently the strongest puppet master in the ninja world, and his level of puppetry is ranked among the best in the entire history of puppetry.
Although Ebizo is not as powerful as Chiyo, he controls Sunagakure's intelligence department. During the civil war between Sunagakure and the disappearance of the third Kazekage, the actual controller of the Sunagakure Anbu under the direct command of Kazekage was Ebizo.
The last thing is that these two are siblings, which was what Luo Sha was most afraid of before.
Rasa was glad that Chiyo's grandson left Sunagakure Village.
After Scorpion left Sand Hidden Village, Chiyo seemed to have lost his soul. He rarely interfered with political affairs, and was either studying ninjutsu or fishing.
Probably because he cared about his sister, Ebizo also put down a lot of work and often accompanied Chiyo on fishing trips.
Luo Sha took the opportunity to gain a lot of power, giving herself a greater say in high-level meetings.
“The Yondaime.”
The two nodded in response, neither cold nor caring.
After all the senior officials arrived, Luo Sha started the meeting.
"The rapid expansion of Ninja's power has affected our common interests with Iwagakure, but Iwagakure showed an anomaly in how to cooperate."
Rasha quickly explained to the senior officials what Iwagakure had to do. strange conditions.
"There is indeed a problem. Iwagakure doesn't want to directly participate in the war. Is it possible that he has information that we don't have?"
"It may also be that he wants to conserve his strength for other plans, but from now on On the surface, we are not losing money by cooperating with Iwagakure. With this money, we can alleviate a lot of pressure on military expenditures.”
The senior officials discussed it one after another, and there were quite a few differences.
Some people think that they can try to earn this money. Anyway, Sunagakure cannot just sit back and watch the Ninja Sect continue to develop.
Some people feel that the money is too hot to hold and that it hides Iwagakure's conspiracy and cannot cooperate.
Chiyo sat on a chair, looking at the senior executives with an indifferent expression, with no intention of speaking.
Had it not been for Sunagakure's bad situation and the time for full retirement, Chiyo would have resigned from his position as a consultant long ago.
Her son and daughter-in-law died on the battlefield, and her grandson voluntarily abandoned her and fought for the village for most of his life. In the end, only his brother was left with her.
She has paid enough for this village. She doesn't owe Sunagakure anything, Sunagakure owes her.
"I will activate the secret lines of the Rain Country and the Earth Country to investigate. Iwagakure's behavior is a bit abnormal." Ebizo said.
Ebizo, who is engaged in espionage work, is particularly sensitive to this anomaly. "This is such a big matter that we really cannot make a decision easily. We have to investigate it carefully and trouble Ebizo's advisor."
The senior officials who were originally controversial all agreed with Ebizo's idea.
Anyone who can sit at the top is not stupid. They can all see that something is wrong with Iwagakure, but they don't know what Iwagakure is hiding.
The high-level meeting ends here, and the discussion will continue after Ebizo's information is in place.
However, what Ebizo didn't expect was that the anomaly in Iwagakure was not investigated, but some unexpected information was found.
After reading the information, Ebizo immediately went to find Chiyo.
"I seem to have found the scorpion." Ebizo said.
A trace of emotion appeared on Chiyo's calm face, but he looked lonely and shook his head: "What's the use of finding it."
If Scorpion was persecuted or hurt and left, Chiyo would try his best to find it. Xie was found, but Xie left Sand Hidden Village on his own initiative, and left her side on his own initiative.
With Chiyo's influence in Sand Hidden Village, if she really wants to find Xia, unless Xia does nothing but hides, she will be able to find some information.
But for so many years, except for the very beginning, Chiyo has never taken the initiative to look for Xia.
Because she knew that even if she found Xie, it would be useless. As long as Xie didn't want to be by her side, she couldn't stop him.
"Where is he? How is he doing? Is he settling down or staying temporarily." Chiyo couldn't help but ask.
After all, Xie is still her grandson. Even if he doesn’t know the news, he will always subconsciously worry about Xie’s life after getting the news.
"It's the Six Paths Castle in the Land of Rain. I don't know if he has settled there or how he is doing. I just made a judgment based on the information that Scorpion might be there." Ebizo replied.
The puppet technology in the intelligence is definitely not something that the inferior puppet masters outside Sunagakure can develop.
Contacting the direction of Xion's previous development of the puppet technique, even if Xion himself is not in the Land of Rain, Ebizo can be sure that the source of the Ninja sect's puppet prosthetics is Xion.
"Six Paths City? Isn't that the location of the Ninja Sect?"
Chiyo is no stranger to the emerging force of the Ninja Sect. Even though she has not cared so much about Ninja Village affairs since Xia left, the Kingdom of Rain and the Wind As the two countries border each other, there are always various news coming, and it is difficult for Chiyo not to know about it.
"Well, Scorpio may have joined the Ninja Sect, or he may have reached some kind of cooperation with the Ninja Sect."
Ebizo nodded and told the story about the puppet prosthetic limb.
"It is impossible for Scorpion to join the ninja force." Chiyo subconsciously wanted to deny Ebizo's conjecture, although Ebizo only said it was possible.
Xie didn't even want to stay in the Sand Hidden Village where he grew up, so why should he go to those ninja forces that were not as good as Sunagakure Village. Whether it is from the perspective of studying the technical conditions of puppets or family relationships, it is impossible for Xia to join the Ninja Sect.
Ebizo didn't speak, just sighed.
Chiyo was silent, the light in his eyes dimmed a bit.
Based on her life history, it was only four or five years since Xie left, not that long.
But for Xie, a teenager, this is already a quarter of his current life.
In this case, it is not impossible for Scorpio to have experienced things that she didn't know about, and to have changed that she didn't know about.
"Why, it's the Ninja Sect..." Chiyo murmured.
There is no doubt that Ninja, who has great ambitions and great potential, is Sunagakure's next enemy.
Had it not been for the fear that Usuke could defeat Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sunagakure's ninja troops would have entered the Rain Country long ago.
If Xia really joins the Ninja Sect, then Xia will become Sunagakure's enemy, standing on the opposite side of Sunagakure, and they may even fight each other on the battlefield.
Just imagining it, Chiyo couldn't help but feel faint. That was her grandson.
"It's just possible." Ebizo comforted him.
"I will let my spies get the exact information about Scorpion at all costs."
Ebizo should have put more energy into Earth Country and Iwagakure, but he really There is no way to let go of Chiyo.
If we don’t let the spies investigate clearly, what will happen if Chiyo goes to the Ninja Sect in person?
It's easy to enter Liudou Castle, but if you want to get out, you have to look at the face of the ninja sect and Soyousuke. Ebizo can't let his own sister take such a risk.
Actually, Ebizo didn't want to tell Chiyo this information. This was really bad news for Chiyo.
Mainly because the prosthetic limbs of the Ninja Sect are no longer a secret. Chiyo may learn information about the prosthetic limbs from other places at any time and infer the news about Scorpion. Ebizo then chose to inform Chiyo.
"Yeah." Chiyo nodded.
Chiyo originally thought that the weather was good today and she would go fishing. However, after hearing the news, she suddenly lost the thought of fishing and was filled with thoughts about scorpions.
She desperately hoped that this was an inadvertent incident, that there was an error in Ebizo's intelligence, and that Scorpio was not in the Land of Rain and was not in the Ninja Sect.
