,,"
Arai was stunned.
He did not expect that Yubi would suddenly mention the position of Kazekage.
In fact, he has always had a hunch or intuition in his heart.
That is the mysterious disappearance of Third Kazekage, which may have some connection with Yubi and Scorpion.
However, this is just his guess, and there is no evidence just like the suspicion he had about Scorpion and Yubi at the beginning.
Moreover, the current progress of Sunagakure is proceeding in an orderly manner, just like the original showdown plan between Yubi and him.
Considerable results have been achieved.
The village's economy has improved significantly.
Xie glanced at Yubi, seemingly not expecting that Yubi would suddenly announce their plan.
"You want this garbage to come into the village?"
Scorpion frowned.
It can be seen that he does not fully understand Yubi's idea.
He didn't take Uchiha and Hyuga Clan's blood inheritance seriously either.
Scorpion has always had this kind of thinking. He feels that it is enough for Sunagakure to have him and Yubi around.
As for everyone else, including Third Kazekage - none of them need it.
He has absolute confidence in the two of them.
He believes that there is no need for Yubi to put his energy into such things - this is a kind of disrespect for his art by Yubi.
Yubi's opposition to Scorpion is not surprising. Although he changed Scorpion's destiny and also changed some of Scorpion's characters - his underlying background is difficult to be affected.
Scorpio still believes in respecting self-strength.
I don't want to rely on external things.
His idea is actually very similar to Rasa and Third Kazekage.
Of course, he himself also has some resistance to Konoha.
"This is our second plan, talent introduction!"
Yubi stretched out a finger and said, "In addition to the economy, the current situation that our village urgently needs to solve is combat power!"
"In this fight with Konoha, you should have seen that the reason why Konoha is strong is that their village has many families and controls a large number of secret techniques and special ninja resources - if we at Sunagakure want to rise, it is not enough to solve economic problems alone."
"No matter how prosperous the economy is, if it is not protected by strong combat power, it will eventually become a wedding dress for others."
Xie looked at Yubi and withdrew his gaze.
I stopped expressing my views and was reluctantly convinced.
He didn't care about it.
However, his emotions also represent the possible opinions of some Sunagakure people on this matter.
"It is well known that Rasa wants to become Fourth Kazekage. What I originally thought was that one of Scorpion and I would find a way to become Kazekage. But I have talked about this issue with Scorpion before, and he is not interested in the position of Kazekage. To be honest, I find it too troublesome. So, after thinking about it, I have a better idea."
Yubi stared at Arai.
Arai swallowed.
"Rasa's ability is very important to the village. Although Xie and I have intentionally distanced ourselves from him, we do not deny his power. I actually respect him personally, but I simply feel that I can't get along with his personality. His behavior is also a replica of Third Kazekage--"
"If Xie and I become Kazekage, although we can use some means to suppress his dissatisfaction - but with his status and prestige in the village, including his influence on the people below, it is inevitable that some troubles will arise. Moreover, as long as the suppressed emotions are suppressed, there will always be a day when they explode."
"You are Third Kazekage's former shadow guard. You are senior enough and your combat achievements are not inferior to Rasa - you are just a little older. Taking advantage of this battle with Konoha, I would like to recommend you to become Fourth Kazekage."
Yubi said bluntly.
Arai Even though I had expected it, my breath still froze when I heard these words.
Kazekage?
This was something he had never thought of.
However, Arai quickly calmed down.
He looked at Yubi with complicated eyes.
From the analysis of Yubi's words, it is not difficult to see that this young man has already planned and expected everything about Sunagakure today, including every step in the future.
This is simply the style that he is most familiar with - Yubi.
Moreover, it was not only Yubi who planned it, but also Scorpion.
Back then, he led these two little guys to grow up and run tasks, but he could never fit into their small circle--
Unexpectedly, so many years later, Yubi would open her heart to him at this juncture.
"You--"
Arai hesitated to speak.
"That's right, Third Kazekage is dead - it was me and Xie."
Yubi looked at Arai calmly.
He had long been sure that Arai was doubting himself and Xie.
Now, the whole thing is settled - it can't be changed.
He knew very well that with Arai's character, if before Third Kazekage was still alive, no matter how good the relationship between the two was, Arai might just kill their relatives and report him.
But now, everything is a foregone conclusion.
In addition, Arai voluntarily resigned from the position of shadow guard, which shows that he is actually dissatisfied with Third Kazekage deep down in his heart.
All this allows Yubi to calmly showdown with Arai.
,, Yubi confirmed it personally and revealed the deepest suspicion in his heart, which made Arai's brain a little overloaded.
The emotions are even more indescribable.
"I can trust you.
Yubi added.
Then, he remained silent for a while, not to disturb Arai from digesting this sudden "explosion" information.
After a long while, Arai exhaled a long breath and closed his eyes.
Yubi then continued, "As an outsider, you should also be able to see clearly that what is really hindering the development of the village is the faction headed by Third Kazekage. Including the leaders who were sent to Land of Fire by me as a tactical gimmick and died on the way to escape - they were also the ones I decided to eliminate early on."
"There is no disease in the village - what is diseased is the thoughts and will they convey."
Arai looked at Yubi, not knowing what to say.
But he already understood that the previous civil strife in the village was probably planned by Yubi.
"My qualifications are indeed enough to surpass Rasa, but even if you use this war to set me off and push me to the position of Kazekage, it's not that simple."
"Although I am Elite Jōnin, my strength is not even close to that of you and Xie. Although it is not bad, I am still too far away from becoming Kage Level, and I cannot convince the public."
Arai calmed down, temporarily put aside distracting thoughts, and accepted it all.
"Becoming a shadow - not only explaining the inside of the village, but also the outside."
"To put it simply, the shadow of a village must at least have a certain deterrent effect against external threats or enemies - take the current Shinobi World as an example. Who doesn't know the names of you and Scorpion? Especially you Yubi - the famous name of the blood doctor Yubi, even the third generation Hokage dare not look down upon -"
"Even if you have the ability to push me to the position of Kazekage, if this news spreads, I am afraid that several other ninja villages will be confused."
"Except for Konoha and Iwagakure who know something about me, I'm afraid neither Kumogakure nor Kirigakure have heard of me.
, when it comes to this, Arai is a little self-deprecating.
This - this is reality.
"It doesn't matter - you just have to agree, I have a way."
Yubi smiled.
"You obviously told me before that you are very attracted to Kazekage. You are obviously the most capable of becoming the shadow of the village. Why?"
Arai still feels something is wrong.
In his eyes, Yubi is undoubtedly the best candidate to become Fourth Kazekage.
Even though he is very young - his potential to rise to the top is not any weaker than Rasa.
In particular, as the Shinobi World war continues, the importance of Yubi to the village, whether it is the rear,
Or on the front line, no one can replace him.
"Only the weak need a false name to arm themselves--"
Scorpion on the side suddenly spoke out of turn, "Also - you'd better understand that making you a shadow does not mean that you really sit on top of us and give orders - it's just that you are easier to talk to than Rasa. The future development of the village must still be based on Yubi's vision."
"Yubi trusts you, it's his business - it doesn't mean that I trust you too."
Arai I understand.
He is a puppet.
This feeling - it's still the same as before.
This little guy, Scorpio, has difficulty communicating with anyone except Yubi."
"Scorpion--"
Yubi sighed helplessly, indicating that Scorpion had gone too far.
After Xie finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the tent.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Arai - you also know Scorpio's character -" Yubi apologized immediately.
"It's okay, I understand."
But unexpectedly Arai suddenly smiled and nodded.
Then, he looked at him and said word by word, "I don't mind becoming a puppet. If doing so can benefit the village and help you - I will be happy to oblige."
Yubi heard this, and his heart was touched.
Stretched out his hand to Arai, "Thank you - teacher!"
"Still what I said before, Yubi-come on, I believe that under your leadership, the village will become better and better."
"But the premise is that you can really push me to the position of Kazekage. If you fail, I will not be responsible."
"Okay."
"Also - you don't want to become a shadow, actually - you are afraid of trouble, right?"
"Well - after all, I have too many things to do. If I still deal with some messy affairs in the village, I won't have time at all -"
"I knew it."
Arai sighed, "In that case, I will act as Kazekage first, and then I will hand it over to you when the overall situation is stable later.
"Haha, that's okay.
Yubi.
Arai sighed secretly.
In this special period, Yubi really lacks someone who can share the pressure.
Letting him take the lead first is a sign of trust in him.
But Arai is self-aware. This Kazekage, even if he can be in power for a while, he will not be secure if he stays in power for too long.
Moreover, he also knew that some of Yubi's plans required someone to attract firepower from inside and outside the village - including a series of beheading operations that other villages might carry out against Kazekage.
Furthermore - this is also the most critical point.
He cannot deny that Yubi is very smart, but in some things, he, an old man like Sunagakure, needs more experience.
Although Yubi said that he would become Kazekage, I'm afraid - it's unlikely.
Arai didn't want to spoil the fun, so he didn't say so directly.
