Sunagakure is not feeling well during this time~
Due to the successive defeats since the establishment of the Ninja Village, Daimyo of the Land of Wind has long been dissatisfied and has gradually reduced the funding of the Ninja Village.
Coupled with the sudden disappearance of Third Kazekage, Sunagakure was left without a leader. Originally, he was hiding and covering it up, but he was still relatively stable. However, after a large-scale search, for some reason... it was suddenly spread throughout the entire Shinobi World.
And it spread so much that when Land of Lightning, who advocated military expansion, found out, he took advantage of the situation and raided Land of Wind, causing Sunagakure to fall into chaos.
As a result, after fighting and fighting, Third Kazekage was not found for so long. The ninjas in the village guessed that Third Hokage must have died in Konoha's assassination. Therefore, in order to take revenge, and perhaps also to divert the conflict in the village, they turned around and declared war on Konoha.
Such multi-front operations have made the already poor Sunagakure even worse. Of course, it can still barely afford it, but... compared to the other Four Great Ninja Villages, it is a little stretched.
Some time ago, due to his meritorious service in resisting Kumogakure, coupled with his strength far exceeding his peers, he was taught by Third Kazekage...
At this tense moment, Rasa was recognized by most of the ninjas in Sunagakure and quickly became the temporary commander-in-chief of the village.
But everyone, including him, knows in his heart that it won't be long before he becomes the next Lord Kazekage of Sunagakure!
only.
At this time, Rasa was quite troubled.
Indeed... at the critical moment of Kumogakure's invasion, he relied on the [Magnet Release·Gold Dust] he learned from Third Hokage to turn the tide and resist the invaders.
But my family knows their own business. Compared with Kumogakure, which is developing rapidly and has strong support from Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, Sunagakure is far behind.
Kazekage is missing, the village is empty, no money is needed, no one is needed!
If Kumogakure really attacks Sunagakure with all its strength, it is estimated that Sunagakure will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
As for why Kumogakure divided its forces to attack Konoha in the end and carried out multi-front operations... it may be because they were confident and looked down on them Sunagakure, thinking that they Sunagakure did not need them to allocate so many troops; it may also be...
There is another purpose!
The picture is huge!
Of course, for Four Great Ninja Villages except Konoha: the battle of tolerance can be lost, but Konoha must fight!
No matter how they fight, this Konoha must declare war!
Fighting forbearance is the purpose of the village, but fighting Konoha... that is their political need!
Therefore, while resisting Kumogakure's attack, the village gritted its teeth and detached some of its troops to declare war on Konoha.
only.
As the war continued... he was getting a little tired.
And I heard that Kirigakure across the sea is now a little bit ready to make a move. Once Sunagakure declares war with them... Sunagakure will really be unable to hold it back.
today.
It's his day off.
After withdrawing from the front line and returning to the village after a long absence, Rasa took a long breath and calmed down a lot after seeing the slightly peaceful daily life.
In addition to taking a rest, dealing with affairs, and discussing the next steps when I came back to the village this time, my other purpose was... The village had no money, so I came back temporarily to make money!
Although he has not yet succeeded Kazekage, he has begun to slowly take over the affairs of the village.
Go to the battlefield, make money, and deal with village affairs at the same time!
He is still quite busy now!
no way.
Compared with the cradle of genius next door...Hokage, as long as he stays in the center and does not go to the battlefield in person, the ninjas in the village can handle it. Konoha is different. Now Sunagakure has no one to rely on, and no money, so he has to go to the battlefield in person!
Thanks also to consultants Ebizo and Advisor Chiyo for their assistance.
Otherwise, he alone wouldn't be able to do it!
Rasa, who was walking on the Sunagakure street, looked around expressionlessly and asked calmly, "How is the village going these days?"
"With Master Ebizo taking care of it, things are a little more stable!" After hearing what Master Rasa said, the sand ninja next to him quickly replied, "Everyone is united, holding their breath, and wants to avenge Third Hokage!"
Speaking of this, he clenched his fists and looked angry.
"Konoha went too far and actually assassinated Third Hokage. They must pay the price this time!"
The words fell.
Seeing the expression of the sand ninja next to him, Rasa said nothing more and just nodded slightly.
Although no evidence has yet been found to prove whether Third Hokage was assassinated by Konoha, but... it doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, at this level, Konoha is going to be killed. Why do you care so much?
After seeing that there was nothing in the village, Rasa stopped walking and turned around and walked towards the Kazekage building.
He still has a lot of things to deal with next and has no time to hang around here.
After handling the affairs of the village, you still have to go out to pan for gold and earn money to purchase war supplies and transport them to the front line!
otherwise.
If the mission cannot be carried out during the war, the village will really run out of money.
only.
Just a few steps.
Sudden.
"Sunamaru, wow~, where did you Ninja Vest come from?"
"That's right, you just graduated Ninja Academy and have just completed a few D-level missions? You're not Chunin yet. The village didn't give you a Ninja Vest. Where can you get the money to buy it?"
"This is not cheap!"
"Hahaha, it looks great! Let me tell you secretly, I bought this at half price!"
Ninja Academy graduated?
Ninja Vest?
Half price?
What's going on?
Hearing the voice coming from the side, Rasa, who was sensitive to money due to long-term gold mining, stopped immediately and looked over with a frown.
A group of imp ninjas gathered together suddenly came into view.
The Sand Ninja on the side saw Master Rasa suddenly stop and was slightly startled before he also stopped.
And turned his head to look in the direction where Master Rasa was looking. However, when he saw a group of Genin brats next door, he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and said quickly, "That's Genin who just graduated. He is still performing D-level missions these days. After he has adapted to the life of a ninja, he will go to support the battlefield after a while. I believe it will definitely relieve the pressure on the front line."
Although it is a bit cruel for the children to go to the battlefield not long after graduation compared to normal times, but now is also a special situation. There is no extra time for these children to train slowly. Therefore, they can only hone themselves on the battlefield.
Looking at Master Rasa who frowned, he seemed to understand something, with a serious tone.
"That's right! Even if you rest, how can you hang out here in this situation? Master Rasa, I will drive them back to training now!"
However.
The words just fell.
"Wait a minute!" Rasa stopped expressionlessly, frowned slightly, and turned to look at the Suna ninja next to him, "Has the village recently purchased a new Ninja Vest?"
"Not at all!" Suna Ninja was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Everyone knows the difficulties in the village, and the loss of Ninja Vest is not big. The Jonin family basically has it, so there is no need to purchase new Ninja Vest!"
"No?" Rasa continued to frown. After pondering for a moment, he stretched out his hand and pointed in front, "Why is that Genin wearing a new Ninja Vest?"
The words fell.
"???"
The sand ninja looked surprised and quickly raised his head and looked over.
really.
I saw a little kid who had grown up and was a little stronger, proudly showing off his Ninja Vest to his friends.
And on him...
It is a brand new Ninja Vest!
One look at this piece and you can tell that it was Ninja Vest just purchased!
