The sun sets.
The remaining golden rays of the setting sun are scattered on the desert in the west, making it look golden to the eye.
The fine sand all over the ground was dyed gold by the sunset, which was breathtaking.
The gravel occasionally blown up by the breeze is crystal clear.
Yura watched all this silently.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" came a voice from beside her.
A man came to him and stared at the west intently, admiring the beautiful scenery with him.
You don't need to look at Yura to know that this is Yuno.
This is outside the Sunagakure wall. The two of them, no, they also have dozens of ninjas and Sunagakure senior officials, as well as many more Sunagakure residents waiting here, waiting for the return of the hostages captured by Konoha.
"What a pity! It just looks golden. How wonderful it would be if it were real gold! If it were all gold, would we Sunagakure be saved?" Yuno sighed sincerely, with a lingering sadness on his face.
Yura did not answer and remained silent.
Yuno has become accustomed to it.
This little friend of his has become even more taciturn since he led a few people on an S-class mission.
Yuno knew part of the content of that mission. It was a mission of betraying the country and seeking glory, so he understood the changes in Yura very well.
What's more, after returning from that mission, everyone in the team except Yura was left with a deep psychological shadow, and they are all still recovering.
In comparison, Yura can be considered a tough guy!
Thinking of the person he met during the Yura mission, Yuno thought of the reason for the failure of the Konoha campaign.
From this, he sighed deeply, "It's been three days, it's time to come back, right?"
"Yeah." Yura nodded perfunctorily.
"Yura." Yuno paused, thinking about the culprit for the failure of this expedition, and finally couldn't help it.
He turned his head, his eyes full of confusion, "Is Uzumaki Naruto really that strong?"
Yuno doesn't understand, is the Uzumaki Naruto advertised in the newspaper really that powerful?
Yura was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Yeah."
Yuno knew that although Yura talked little, he still understood the friend he had grown up with, that is, Yura never lied.
"Haha."
Yuno smiled, with a little helplessness in that smile.
In the distance, one, several, a dozen, more and more figures crossed the high sand dunes and appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"They're back! They're back!" A ninja shouted.
Everyone rushed forward at once.
"Welcome back heroes!"
"Welcome home hero!"
All of a sudden, all kinds of slogans were shouted.
The people welcomed us wholeheartedly, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
Although these returning people are hostages who were defeated and imprisoned by Konoha, they are still people who risk their lives for the future interests of Sunagakure. They are all heroes of Sunagakure!
The so-called enemy who invades our hero is nothing more than this.
But in stark contrast to the crowd who welcomed them with joy, the hostages were dejected one by one, and some even lost their souls.
Someone in the welcoming team saw a friend among the returning heroes. He stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder, encouraging him. "Why are you so frustrated? Next time, next time we will definitely win!"
He is ambitious and although he failed this time, he will definitely win next time.
Will he oppose the war?
No, it's just an anti-defeat!
The scene was very lively, and the hostages were infected by the atmosphere and felt much more comfortable for a while.
On the temporary stage, the old woman Chiyo delivered an important speech.
Looking back on the past and looking forward to the future, the disbandment was announced only after the people at the scene had eaten several mouthfuls of sand.
Then, a grand welcome dinner was held in the village.
This is a victory dinner and a proud dinner!
This dinner is telling everyone at Sunagakure that they, Sunagakure, are not defeated!
Just no victory!
Yura didn't eat, so he wasn't hungry.
The point is that the food on the table is a bit shabby and not enough for the returning 'heroes'.
Yura's task is to patrol and walk back and forth at the venue. This is a task he actively strives for, and he can use this to hear a lot of information.
"Pfft~~~It tastes really bad!"
There is a returning hero who spits out the sand cake covered with sand.
Yura turned around to look, and he recognized the man's name as Dajiu, a Chunin who participated in the battle against Konoha.
He was hanging with one arm, as if he had been injured in the battle.
Dajiu thought of the treatment in Konoha prison, and looked at the few dishes on the table, and couldn't help complaining. "That's all? I haven't eaten well in Konoha cell."
"Say less!"
The person next to him tugged on his good arm.
"Look," Dajiu pointed to his cheek, "Did you see, this is the treatment of Konoha, I gained weight in prison! Look at you!"
Dajiu pointed at the person who was trying to persuade him, "Look at the fat on your belly. Aren't you also fat after being in prison?"
"We had such good food at Konoha. Look at the treatment we receive now. We are heroes who risked our lives for Sunagakure! Is this the treatment?
Not to mention the taste, this little thing is not enough to fill our stomachs! A mouthful of cake and half a mouthful of sand! Bah~~~"
As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of sand.
"Be careful! Be careful Anbu!" warned another middle-aged ninja next to him.
"Hmph!"
Dajiu snorted, looked up at Yura standing next to him, and finally closed his mouth.
"Understand this! There is no money in the village!"
"It's all that Uzumaki Naruto's fault!"
I don't know who said something that instantly resonated with everyone.
If there were not such a powerful Uzumaki Naruto, their Sunagakure's sudden attack on Konoha would definitely win this time!
Once Sunagakure wins, those things that originally belong to Konoha: a large number of tasks and commissions, unimaginable money, and even large areas of fertile black land, should all belong to their Sunagakure!
As long as they can get that money and resources, how could they Sunagakure be reduced to such a miserable state?
Can't even get a good meal from the returning hero?
"It's all Uzumaki Naruto's fault!"×N
Sunagakures reached a consensus instantly!
For a time, complaints about Uzumaki Naruto spread everywhere.
Yura turned around and left. His eyes continued to scan the surroundings, and he secretly engraved the face of the person scolding Big Boss into his mind.
Another corner.
Hearing complaints about Uzumaki Naruto from all around, Kankuro looked at Gaara who was eating silently on the other side of the table.
In my memory, Gaara dislikes participating in such activities. He still prefers to be alone.
Kankuro I don't know why Gaara would attend this kind of dinner.
Looking around, there were only three of them at their table, and no one else dared to come over because of the presence of Gaara.
"Gaara" Kankuro called out in a low voice.
If it were before, he would not take the initiative to speak, mainly because he was afraid of angering Gaara for no reason and getting beaten.
But since that battle, Kankuro found that Gaara seemed to have changed a lot.
"Huh?"
Gaara chewed a piece of cake slowly.
He raised his head when he heard Kankuro call him. Although his green eyes were still cold, they were much gentler than before.
"Are you leaving?"
With a question, Gaara stood up and said, "Then let's go."
"Yeah."
Kankuro stood up and left with Temari followed by Gaara.
Yura came and passed them.
After reaching the end, Yura raised his head and looked at the spherical Kazekage Building in the center of the village.
There, a meeting to determine the future fate of Sunagakure is taking place.
pity.
Yura lowered his head and continued on his way.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to go in and listen.
