The capital of Land of Wind is filled with yellow sand.
Rasa, who is wearing Kazekage Hokage Cloak and has a pair of Black Eye hoops, is walking in the winding corridor of the Daimyo Mansion under the guidance of an attendant.
Soon he came to a courtyard where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant.
In this city surrounded by desert, there is such a paradise that is comparable to the scenery of Land of Fire.
In the pavilion in the center of the courtyard, the bamboo curtain was swaying slightly, and the gorgeously dressed Daimyo of the Land of Wind was casually throwing bait into the pool, and the golden scales splashed with tiny splashes of water.
"Your Highness the Daiming!" Rasa stood outside the pavilion and said hello to the Daiming.
However, after waiting for a long time, the daimyo behind the bamboo curtain did not look back, let alone speak. Only the sound of fish in the pond could be clearly heard until all the bait was scattered. Daimyo of the Land of Wind slowly turned his head and pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, Lord Kazekage is here, why didn't you tell me earlier? Come in quickly, look at how dusty you are."
The folding fan in the daimyo's hand spread out, covering half of his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Although Rasa was a little unhappy with this deliberate act of teasing Rasa, he could only endure the unhappiness in his heart, entered the pavilion, and sat opposite Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
The daimyo acted as if nothing was wrong, and called two maids over, pouring a cup of tea for Rasa.
Speaking of which, the national structure of the Hokage world is very strange. Ninjas have extraordinary powers, but they are employed by the country like mercenaries.
Moreover, the appointment of the Kagewa leader of Ninja Village also requires the approval of the daimyo.
For example, after Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi died, when Danzo and Tsunade were competing for Fifth Hokage, they both went to the capital of Land of Fire to seek support from the daimyo.
Daimyo of the Land of Wind even strangled Sunagakure's economic lifeline, constantly giving less funds, leaving Rasa with no choice but to go to the sand sea and use Magnet Release's gold mining to subsidize the village economy.
The relationship between the leader of the ninja village, even the shadow, and the daimyo is subtle, like superiors and subordinates, and like allies.
Since the Warring States Period, each ninja clan has been employed by the country and daimyo. This strange relationship has been maintained and has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Even ninjas with great power will not take the initiative to cross this line.
But now, this line between the country and the ninja village, the red line between the daimyo and the ninja, has been ruthlessly trampled!
"Land of Bears, does Kazekage know anything about the situation over there?" Daimyo of the Land of Wind picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I have sent a team led by the jounin from the village to investigate -" Rasa is not good at lying, so he just told the truth about the recent situation, "But there has been no news for a long time."
"Look at this tea, it's Land of Demons's top quality tea. Now that Land of Bears has rebelled, even the tea has gone up a lot." Daimyo of the Land of Wind pointed out.
Rasa didn't understand the daimyo's words and just remained silent.
Seeing this, Daimyo of the Land of Wind was a little helpless towards Rasa's elm-headed head. He played with the fan in his hand and slowly revealed the true purpose of summoning Rasa this time.
"If we want to suppress the rebellion of Hoshigakure, how many ninjas will be needed?"
The Hoshinin rebellion of Land of Bears has spread throughout Shinobi World. Everyone in the surrounding small countries is in danger. The famous names and nobles of Land of Earth and Land of Wind are also afraid that this "trend" will spread.
Rasa analyzed the situation. "If we want to launch a war against Land of Bears's Hoshigakure, we must be prepared for Land of Earth's Iwagakure to intervene. And we, Sunagakure, have not recovered from the last war, so I'm afraid it will be difficult---"
The last Shinobi World war was caused by Third Hokage disappearing since Kazekage, and Iwagakure taking the opportunity to invade.
Rasa mentioned the possibility of Land of Earth Iwagakure's intervention, which made the Daimyo feel pain in his heart.
He remembered the last war, in which Land of Wind lost miserably. In order to cease war with neighboring countries, Land of Wind paid a lot of silver, and all of this money was spent from the Daimyo Mansion.
"Can't you send a few powerful ninjas to arrest the leader of the rebel ninjas?" Daimyo of the Land of Wind opened and closed the folding fan in his hand.
Rasa shook his head. "Sorry, Your Highness, there is a lack of intelligence. We don't even know who the leaders of these rebellious ninjas are."
The team led by Pakura has been out of contact for several days. I'm afraid it's more likely to end in danger. Sunagakure seriously lacks intelligence and top combat capabilities. Rasa really doesn't want to fight this war.
The most important thing is that Daimyo of the Land of Wind has never mentioned financial support for Sunagakure from the beginning to the end!
This is what makes Rasa most dissatisfied. He wants Sunagakure to go to war, but he doesn't give him money?!
Daimyo of the Land of Wind is confused.
Although Daimyo of the Land of Bears died and many nobles were killed, it really had nothing to do with him Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
It's just that we are both daimyo and have an instinctive dislike for Hoshigakure's rebellion.
But do you really want to spend your own money to help Land of Bears fight the rebellion? The stingy Daimyo of the Land of Wind will not pay for it.
Moreover, if Land of Wind sends ninjas to intervene in Land of Bears, it will definitely cause a reaction from Land of Earth.
Third Shinobi World War is finally over. We haven't recuperated and lived a good life for a few days. Are we going to fight again?
Daimyo of the Land of Wind feels sorry for his money.
In the end, the meeting ended without any result, and Daimyo of the Land of Wind just asked Sunagakure to pay attention to Land of Bears's situation.
Those rebel ninjas can do whatever they want to Land of Bears, but just don't come to Land of Wind to cause trouble.
The same situation also happened with Land of Earth,
Daimyo of the Land of Earth summoned Iwagakure Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki to discuss how to deal with the Land of Bears Hoshigakure rebellion.
Similarly, because the sent ninja team has not returned yet, Ōnoki does not want to get involved in Land of Bears's quagmire, lest Land of Wind's Sunagakure take the opportunity to get in.
In the last war, ten thousand Iwagakure Ninja besieged Third Raikage A, but they paid a heavy price to exhaust that reckless man's chakra.
Iwagakure also doesn't want to fight a war that lacks intelligence.
Neither Land of Earth nor Land of Wind, which borders Land of Bears, wanted to fight, so the two countries just blocked the border.
The two major ninja villages sent a small number of ninjas to stay at the border with Land of Bears to strengthen border patrols. From time to time, frictions and small-scale battles occurred with Hoshinin on the border.
In this way, under the appeasement policies of the two major countries, time gradually came to the 55th year of Konoha.
Shinobi World is still not peaceful.
Hidden Leaf Village.
At the beginning of the new year, Menma was sitting on the porch looking boredly at the night sky.
From time to time, some fireworks burst into the sky and decorated the night sky.
There is also a fruit plate next to Menma, which contains various candies, fruits and other snacks.
Mini-Kurama was lying next to the fruit plate, holding a large piece of biscuit in his hand, and was about to take a bite when he suddenly sensed something and quickly jumped into Menma's scarf.
"Come out, I saw you." Menma turned his head slightly and looked at a shadow on the courtyard wall.
Naruto walked out of the shadows with a smile and jumped from the courtyard wall into the courtyard.
Although Naruto is only four years old, his physical fitness is higher than that of ordinary people. Not only can he jump up several floors in one leap, he can also do some simple throwing techniques and ninjutsu.
"Brother Menma, it's the New Year, and I want to tell you---" Naruto stood in the yard, scratching the back of his head, hesitating.
Seeing little Naruto unable to conceal his excitement and embarrassment, Menma smiled.
"Happy New Year, Naruto."
Menma patted his side and invited Naruto to sit down.
Naruto, who had someone to accompany him during the Chinese New Year for the first time, grinned widely, sat on the verandah, and watched the fireworks flashing in the night sky. He had never felt so wonderful.
