Sowing Discord
Gaara looked at the Fourth Raikage in front of him, somewhat puzzled...
"I wonder what brings the Fourth Raikage to see me?"
The Fourth Raikage took a sip of water before slowly speaking...
"Nephew..."
Upon hearing the Fourth Raikage speak, Gaara raised an eyebrow...
You should know that your father and the Fourth Raikage didn't have much interaction. If you had to say that they did have some interaction, it would be that your father and the Fourth Raikage didn't have a very good relationship in the past!
After all, the two are the Kage of their respective villages, and they're bound to have some friction with each other. I never expected that the Fourth Raikage would actually call me his nephew today!?
What's this guy up to?!
Then the Fourth Raikage continued...
"My dear nephew... I have heard about what happened to your father, Rasa, and I am deeply saddened by it! Konoha is simply inhuman! Orochimaru, that rogue ninja, the murderer of your father, has not received the punishment he deserves, and is instead living unsafely in Konoha!"
This is absolutely outrageous!!!
I don't know what kind of personality you have, but if this happened to me, I definitely couldn't stand it!
Whenever I see Orochimaru, I am reminded of the death of my good brother Rasa!
You must know that your father is my dearest friend, my brother!
Gaara, after hearing the Fourth Raikage spout a bunch of useless nonsense, is starting to realize what the Fourth Raikage really wants to do.
It seems he's trying to sow discord between me and Konoha!
Why would he want to sow discord between himself and Konoha?!
Is he going to attack Konoha?
Is this person brain-dead?!
What exactly is he trying to do?!
"Fourth Raikage, what do you mean by that?!"
After staring at Gaara for a while, the Fourth Raikage spoke directly...
"Since my dear nephew has already asked me, I will speak frankly and openly!"
I just went to see the Tsuchikage, and we've formed a strategic alliance! Once this meeting concludes, we'll launch an attack on Konoha!
When the time comes, we'll raze Konoha to the ground in one Land of Fire! And of course, I can't forget you, my dear nephew, about this!
After all, you and Konoha have a deep-seated hatred! After all, your father died at Orochimaru's hands, and I've also heard something very important: your sister, it seems, was also taken by Makoto Ito, right?!
It's like they stole Samui and Mabui from our Kumogakure! It's absolutely outrageous!!! When the time comes, our Kumogakure from the Land of Lightning, our Iwagakure from the Land of Earth, and your Sand Village from the Land of Wind, we can unite and attack Konoha!
My dear nephew, what do you think of this matter?!
Gaara finally understood after hearing the Fourth Raikage's words that this idiot wanted to recruit him to attack Konoha!
I've heard these past few days that two of the most beautiful women in Kumogakure were snatched away by my brother-in-law!
At the time, I was even internally praising my brother-in-law for doing a great job!
And now, the Fourth Raikage is trying to recruit his own people to attack Konoha...
This person is more or less brain-dead!
No wonder people in the Ninja World say that the ninjas of Kumogakure the Land of Lightning are a bunch of brainless brutes!
Can't he see his own relationship with Konoha?
Doesn't he see that he's Tenten hanging out with Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha?!
My sister is very happy every day, and I call him brother- Makoto Ito every day. Doesn't he know that?
He actually wanted to use the death of his damned father to incite his hatred for Konoha?
That's hilarious!!!
Is Rasa worthy of it?
In my entire life, Gaara has only had his older brother, sister, and mother!
As for the father? What is that?!
Rasa is dead... a good death, a truly wonderful death! His death was absolutely splendid!!!
Even I, right now, am thinking to myself whether I should launch a sneak attack and take down the Fourth Raikage first!
However, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was still a bit risky, since I might not be a match for the Fourth Raikage!
Moreover, if we act now, we might alert the enemy...
After all, the Fourth Raikage just said that he also contacted the Land of Earth, which means that Ōnoki's side has already formed an alliance with the Fourth Raikage!
Perhaps I could tell my brother-in-law and his family about this first, so they could prepare in advance!
When the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth try to cause trouble, we'll join forces with my brother-in-law and the others to wipe them out completely!
Thinking of this, Gaara nodded without changing his expression...
"Uncle Raikage! I must say, what you said is indeed very tempting, but you must understand that I am now the Kage of the village. I am responsible for the entire village. War is not something that can be started on a whim, and I cannot put my personal hatred above the village! So..."
The Fourth Raikage understood what Gaara meant when he heard Gaara's words: Gaara wanted something in return!
Damn it, he looks like just a kid, but he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve!
They're already asking for favors before the fight even starts!
However, the Fourth Raikage wanted to drag the Land of Wind into the fray, so he had to give Gaara some incentives first...
