Land of Wind, located in the northwest of Shinobi World, is a country with most of the land occupied by Desert.
Although the environment is so harsh, with its vast territory and tyrannical military strength, it has become one of the Five Great Nations, and even once considered itself the second largest in Sarawak.
To be able to become one of the top five rogue countries, regardless of whether it is sand or stupidity, it must have its own merits. This country probably left the deepest impression on the world because it took the initiative to provoke Ninja World War twice in a row and confronted the Five Great Nations overlord Land of Fire.
Although they all ended in failure in the end, Second Great Ninja War and even the shadow of the village were taken away, and the loser's pants were gone... But Land of Wind still resolutely provoked Third Great Ninja War and vowed to bring down Konoha.
What kind of spirit is this?
This is iron blood!
This is unyielding!
This is... money rather than life.
From a certain perspective, it is a glorious tradition of Land of Wind to take money rather than life.
Needless to say, Daimyo withheld funds. The successive village chiefs were all proficient in Magnet Release and were specially used to mine Gold Sand. They can be called Gold Mine little princes.
Although First Kazekage cannot Magnet Release, he has also set an example in other aspects. For example: when Five Kage Summit, he would rather ask for money than buy Seven-Tails!
"Tailed Beast is nothing. One Shukaku is enough in the village. Look at the Konoha, doesn't it mean that there is only one Nine-Tails left?"
"So, Tailed Beast is not just smart, the key is... money."
Take a look at the style of First Kazekage...
This is the style of a great country!
This is the spirit of Sunagakure!
This...
"This is idiotic behavior!" Third Kazekage couldn't help but curse while walking on the street.
"If there were two Tailed Beasts in the village now, would the war be so difficult?! Master First Kazekage, you have really made the village miserable."
Third Kazekage sighed. As the strongest Kazekage, he was about to fall to the bottom before the country could reach the top of the mountain. This kind of gap was not something that ordinary people could understand.
"They are both shadows, so why is the gap so big?"
Third Kazekage sighed again, wearing Hokage Robe, he continued to walk through the wind and sand, with the scorching sun above his head. Even in the village, he could deeply feel the harsh environment of flying sand and scorching temperature.
However, this environment has its disadvantages, and naturally it also has its advantages.
Because of this harsh environment, Hidden Sand Village only needs to hold on to some fortresses without large-scale division of troops to defend the country. If not for this, Konoha would have marched straight in if there were such heavy losses on the front line this time.
Third Kazekage It only took a while to pass through the entire Sunagakure and arrive at an altar located in the west of the village.
Looking up, there are about thirty floors of stairs extending upward. At the top of the stairs, there are eight simple stone pillars. Each stone pillar is painted with complex black incantations. Above the stone pillars, there is an arc-shaped pavilion roof.
The black spells on the stone pillar spread from eight directions to a huge earth-yellow Chagama in the middle. The black spells densely bound Chagama, and directly below Chagama, a huge cage was connected.
The cage is also covered with dense patterns, and a Middle-aged Ninja is imprisoned inside.
"Garaga, long time no see." Third Kazekage walked to the cage and said in a gentle tone.
The man didn't seem to hear, he was still lying on his back on the ground, looking at the top of the cage with dull eyes.
"Oh, I don't want to imprison you like this, but you should understand that even if I believe that you can control Shukaku from going berserk, the elders in the village don't believe it."
Third Kazekage sat down beside the iron cage, feeling helpless.
Garaga used to be his right-hand man, but Third Kazekage's life has not been easy in recent years, so in order to change the situation, he made Garaga become One-Tail Jinchuriki, controlling the taboo power, hoping to stabilize his position.
But who knew that after the transfer was completed, the elders of Sunagakure all opposed the release of Garaga.
As I said before, Sunagakure's current political landscape is in a stage of internal strife.
Even though he is Third Kazekage, after the failure of Second Great Ninja War, his own prestige has been greatly weakened.
If the elders did not agree, he would not be able to insist on his own will and forcefully release Garaga, which was why Garaga was imprisoned for several years.
In fact, this is also the common experience of Jinchuriki in various countries. Even noble people like Mito have been trapped in the courtyard for twenty years.
But things are different now. The losses on the front line are so huge. Third Kazekage thought about it for a long time and felt that he must use the trump card of Jinchuriki. He does not want to defeat Konoha, but only wants to cause them huge losses.
In this way, this war can be postponed.
As for the elders... when the life and death of the village was so critical, they couldn't help but disagree. Third Kazekage originally wanted to use the war to divert internal conflicts and tie the village into a rope.
Now the time has come, fortunately it is not too late.
After thinking about this, Third Kazekage continued to persuade, "Garaga, the village has not been having an easy time in the past few years. As you know, that bastard Daimyo is constantly weakening the village's funds.
There are also those family elders who always want to get rid of me, Kazekage. The most important thing is... now the war has broken out! "
Hearing this, Garaga's dull eyes became a little brighter.
"You know, there are huge losses on the front line now. Rasa almost died, and I have to go to the front line." Third Kazekage's tone was still calm, "You don't want to be locked up here forever, do you?"
Garaga's eyes finally recovered, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Can you let me out?" "
Third Kazekage smiled, "Of course, otherwise why would I come here today." "
Garaga stared into Third Kazekage's eyes and asked, "What do you need me to do?" "
Third Kazekage was silent for a moment and asked, "Tell me the truth, Shukaku, how much power can you master now?"
"You can force your way into Tailed Beast Transformation, but you won't be able to hold on for long."
A hint of surprise flashed in Third Kazekage's eyes.
Hidden Sand Village has Fake Sleep Technique, which can put Jinchuriki into deep sleep to unleash the power of Shukaku.
But this method is not controllable. With Shukaku's character, he will only attack indiscriminately on the battlefield.
But if Garaga can Tailed Beast Transformation, it will be completely different. Even if the time is not long, as long as it is controllable, there are many things that can be done.
This is definitely a surprise weapon on the battlefield.
"Open the cage." Third Kazekage said to Sealing Squad beside him.
"Yes!"
The six ninjas immediately started Hand Seals. There were many Seal on the cage, which could suppress the power of Jinchuriki and Tailed Beast. This was also the reason why Garaga could not escape.
Third Kazekage turned to the ninja beside him and said, "Summon Council of Elders for a meeting!"
"Yes!"
When the ninja was far away, looking at the sun slowly setting in the distance, Third Kazekage patted the tall pillar next to him and murmured:
"It's time to stop fighting among ourselves and act as one to the outside world."
