Red sand dust

Huang Sha glanced at Dingshi, who was no longer troublesome, and continued,

"Next, is Fuyi's request for support! Yanyin Village may take this opportunity to attack the northern fortress, and we have to guard against..."

"Every time the Sand Ninja encountered disaster, did those bastards in Iwagakure Village not take advantage of others?"

Sunakami said calmly,

"Support is necessary, it just depends on who is sent!"

In other aspects, everyone still has some differences. It will not be that troublesome if they encounter the Iwa Ninja who has a deep hatred.

"There is no doubt about Fu Yi's leadership ability. The key is to have enough manpower..."

Huang Sha paused, not knowing how to continue.

Having just lost a lot of combat power in Konoha Village, how could he have the energy to start another war with the Iwa Ninja now?

After thinking about it, Huang Sha said in a deep voice:

"Although it's a bit frustrating to say it, we have to admit that the current Sand Ninja does not have the strength to go to war with Iwagakure Village alone! Therefore, the peace talks with Konoha Village are very important, and a new alliance must be reached as soon as possible. Maki, you have a great responsibility …”

"I will try my best, but..."

Marky hesitated and said,

"The third generation of Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was also killed by Orochimaru. Konoha Village has not elected a new Hokage yet. There are some things that may not be under the control of our Suna ninjas..."

Without the approval of the new Hokage, even if the agreement is signed, it is doubtful whether it will be recognized.

Marky's words made the Suna ninja present look unhappy.

Iwagakure Village is not ready for a full-scale war. As long as Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village are reconciled, the Iwagakure who want to take advantage will not act rashly.

"No matter what, reinforcements must be sent out as soon as possible..."

Huang Sha turned over the ninja roster in his hand, and found that its thickness was much thinner than before.

"Ninjas who are tasked with leading a team must go to the northern fortress with their subordinates!"

At this time, I can't care whether the genin is suitable for the battlefield or not.

"There are three jonins including Gravel, Centipede and Maki who are also going, Yura..."

"Yu Liang can't leave..."

Sunakami interjected,

"The defense of the village cannot be separated from him, so we can't ignore the safety of our headquarters, right?"

"so be it!"

Huangsha closed the ninja roster.

"Do you have any other opinions?"

Marky raised his hand and said in embarrassment:

"My right-hand assistant Nekaze was also assigned by the fourth generation to lead the team. If he goes to the northern fortress, my assistant will be only Sunako..."

Of course, the peace talks between the two major ninja villages do not end with sitting face to face and bargaining. There is still a lot of work to do, such as prior investigation and preparation, estimating the other side's bottom line, and determining negotiation strategies.

Without a few helpers and a black eye, it would be impossible to talk at all.

"One of Nekaze's subordinates is that Genin Daimaru? I see... let the three of them go to the northern fortress alone..."

"However, genin does not have the right to act alone..."

Long Sha reminded him.

"Give them a temporary Chuunin captain..."

Huang Sha waved his hands and said impatiently,

"If it doesn't work, let Daimaru be promoted to chunin! Didn't he say that his performance in the chunin exam is acceptable? That's it... we are not sitting here just to discuss the affairs of a few genin!"

How could the selection mechanism of a Great Ninja Village be so arbitrary?

Longsha wanted to talk later, but he didn’t want to get into trouble! Seeing that no one else spoke, he gave up his plan to argue.

Seeing no one refuted, Huang Sha nodded with satisfaction.

"Then, that's it..."

Just as he was about to announce the end of the meeting, Gaara, who was silent, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Northern Fortress, let me go too!"

"you?"

Everyone present was stunned.

"It would be best if we have Shukaku's support, but..."

The others looked at Maki with a shocked look on his face, it seemed that he was not faking it, Gaara should have made his own judgment.

"Gaara, although you are wearing the Sunagakure forehead protector, you must also understand that you are not a normal ninja! In fact, we do not assign you the power..."

How to arrange the one-tail jinchuriki, only Chiyo can make the decision.

"So, I am asking you now! Let me act like an ordinary ninja..."

"ask?"

Gaara's words shocked the senior officials of Sunagakure Village present.

When did a mentally disturbed One-Tail Jinchuuriki say such humane words?

"Can't you?"

Gaara's face was expressionless, but his tone revealed a hope that even made people tremble.

Dingshi looked disdainful, Longsha was noncommittal, and the others didn't know how to reply.

"Gaara!"

It was Markie who smoothed things over.

"Don't embarrass them! You are my subordinate in name. I'll go ask for instructions and see if it's okay. I'll let you know if there's any news!"

"I see!"

Gaara, who was surprisingly good-tempered, made some people even more uncomfortable.

"In addition, the commander of the Northern Fortress, Fu Yi, has a very bad relationship with the Yondaime and dislikes you very much. If you go there, you may be wronged!"

"It doesn't matter, as long as it allows me to do something!"

"All right!"

Maki gave up the plan of persuasion and could only go to see Chiyo and Ebizo later.

After the important matters were discussed, everyone naturally dispersed.

"Kankuro, Temari, I've caused you trouble again!"

Originally, the three of them were in a team, but Gaara insisted on going to the front line, so naturally his brother and sister were not spared.

"It's okay, it's not too bad!"

Kankuro feels at ease as long as the puppet is by his side, and it doesn't make much difference wherever he goes.

Temari, who was delighted with Gaara's change, also felt that leaving the village at this time might be a good choice.

Maybe time can help everyone dilute a little bit of their resentment towards Gaara.

After Luo Sha died, what was left to the three siblings was a spacious small attic and a considerable amount of money.

Back home, the three siblings were still busy with their own affairs.

The same scene, but it felt even more deserted. In the past, the head of the family did not have time to come back, but now he cannot come back.

The results are similar, but the feeling is very different.

All the elders in the family have died. As the eldest sister, Temari feels that she has a heavy responsibility, and her two younger brothers are still worrying.

Looking at the hazy night outside the window, Temari couldn't help but sigh.

Compared with Konoha Village, Sunagakure Village is really too desolate. At night, there is nothing but sand on the wind-swept streets.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared on the windowpane reflecting the moonlight, constantly changing its shape, and finally, an exaggerated grimace appeared.

Judging from its outline, it looks like a big ball with its head crushed and smiling stupidly.

"You're the only idiot who still wants to make me angry!"

Temari chuckled, closed the curtains, and ignored the idiot.
