In this way, while Yubi was making money outside, he also learned about the progress of the "conflict" in the village through Scorpion's messages.
I have to say... the underground black market brings in money really fast, and for him, the prices of many of the targets on the list are obviously "inflated."
Therefore, for a time, many nobles from small countries "disappeared" inexplicably.
However, Yubi did it very secretly. It is not like a small country harvesting wool. It basically moved the territory after doing one or two orders in one country. There was a time interval, so it did not cause any sensation.
It is true that the Great Ninja Village was commissioned to track him down, but they never succeeded and no clues were found.
Every once in a while, Yubi will go back to Sunagakure, transfer the money earned to Shazhi, and follow up on the research results.
Also check the "wind direction" in the village.
After Rasa deliberately made things difficult for the heirs of the two civilian families during the military exercise... Immediately afterwards, in the high-level meeting, Third Kazekage "clicked" on the heads of the Nohara and Fukushima families, indicating that they should pay more attention to the training of their descendants, especially Fukushima Taki and Nohara Sakamoto. These two little guys showed good talents during the mission of following Yubi.
The meaning here is very obvious. Kazekage does not mention the two eldest sons Fukushimaoka and Murashi, but refers to the two younger children, which is undoubtedly expressing an attitude.
That's it...Rasa's judgment about Murashi and Fukushimaoka is correct.
Although these two people have become Jonin and have certain qualifications... their abilities are still ordinary.
It simply doesn't meet the "excellent" standard.
Of course, this kind of excellence refers to the judging criteria of Kazekage and Rasa.
This is also an "attitude" of Third Kazekage supporting Rasa.
In other words, Sunagakure can do without Murashi and Fukushimaoka, but it absolutely cannot do without Rasa.
As Kazekage, the third generation is not stupid, he has seen some situations in the village.
However, he seemed to think that the "public opinion" in the village about the two Murasakis was secretly promoted by the two families and was intentional.
Therefore, I deliberately suppressed it at the meeting.
The personalities of Rasa and Third Kazekage are of the same origin, so it is not surprising that Kazekage behaves like this.
In Kazekage's eyes, Rasa's value to the village is currently unmatched by anyone.
Including the current Yubi and Scorpion.
But the consequences of what he did were undoubtedly "chilling" the heads of the two families, including the representatives of civilian ninja forces in the village.
Yubi When he returned to the village, he had clearly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the village.
The topic about Murashi and Fukushimaoka suddenly disappeared... It seems that the village consciously did not allow discussion, nor was it allowed to compare the two with Rasa.
Although it is under the banner of unity to prohibit provoking internal conflicts, the intention is self-evident.
When Yubi returned to the village, the situation worsened further.
Some civilian ninjas who served in the village's institutions began to deliberately "slow down"... and became lax.
This kind of negativity is not really about not doing anything or being the boss... but it is deliberately sending out a signal.
A kind of dissatisfaction with the high-level governance and decision-making of the village.
Of course, this kind of thing will not be put on the table, everything will be revealed very secretly... and it will not be really serious enough to affect the operation of the village.
It's nothing more than the "little thoughts" of some civilian ninjas.
But in Third Kazekage's eyes, it's impossible not to know.
Then... the classic drama unfolded, forcing power and abdicating.
With Third Kazekage's character, he couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. Soon... he removed the power from the hands of the two heads of the Fukushima family and the Nohara family, and deliberately transferred them to other departments, so that they had no real power.
It seems that his position has not been reduced... but everyone knows what's going on.
And then... when Yubi, who was working hard outside, received Scorpion's letter and saw the content, he was deeply touched.
Kazekage personally sent Xie to lead Anbu members to "quietly" deal with some people headed by the two families.
You know, it is too easy for a village's shadow to manipulate the people under his command. If you assign a task or action at will, your subordinates must carry out it... Otherwise, it will be tantamount to openly violating the will of the village. This is an indelible stain for ninjas.
This kind of behavior is exactly the same as what Pakura will experience in the future.
It's just... Pakura didn't know anything about it before he died, and now, the heads of the Nohara and Fukushima families may have had a premonition.
Yubi looked at the contents of the letter and was silent for a moment.
This kind of thinking of Third Kazekage is very similar to the style of Danzo, including Hanzo of the Salamander... It can only be said that as the decision-maker of the village and also the hero of Shinobi World, these people all have a common side in their nature. It is not easy to climb to their position.
Be ruthless when you should be ruthless, be kind when you should be kind.
Yubi As soon as we started implementing the plan, we thought it would turn out like this.
Because if placed in other villages, there may not be too fierce conflicts. After all, some families and villages do not have the same connections and gaps as Uchiha and Konoha.
But Yubi concluded that with Kazekage's character and Rasa's value to the village, once the fire started, it might not be contained.
The fundamental reason is that Kazekage's character is too strong... Of course, if this kind of thing was done to Kirigakure, I'm afraid it would cause a bigger fuss.
As for Sunagakure, at least it's okay, some civilian family forces won't openly resist or defect.
All I can say is... every village has its dark side.
"But as a result, the current high-level officials are still very likely to lose the support of the people, which may also cause some people to leave the village and become rebels... But there is no way. If you give up, you will get something. If you want to completely cure the disease, you must first cut off the rotten flesh."
Yubi sighed secretly.
No one is stupid. Even if Kazekage wants to get rid of them secretly, it will only be a few people, rather than an entire family.
But these people died suddenly, and it was at such a sensitive time.
Even if the village later awarded these people posthumous meritorious services, Kazekage even personally addressed the graves of several people to thank them for their contributions to the village.
I'm afraid, others can guess what's going on.
The people to be eliminated, without exception, were all supporters of Kazekage before, and their war thinking is similar to that of Kazekage.
Yubi got rid of some objects with the help of Kazekage.
However, the reason why these senior leaders maintained a superficial "harmony" before was because they did not find the points of contradiction between them.
"The muddier the water, the better... Only when it becomes muddy can we take action."
No matter who died, whoever was in the upper position.
At least, it gave me an "opportunity" to start.
Some of the higher-ups can be cleared out.
From the perspective of outsiders, most people would think it was a counterattack by the village's "civilian forces".
As Scorpion, who is already in Anbu and knows all the trends in the village, it is naturally easier for him to take action.
Right now, since I am not in the village, I can only leave this aspect to Xie.
It should... not be a big problem.
A month later, there were no surprises.
Everything is as Yubi expected.
He also rushed back after receiving the news.
At this time, like most Sunagakure in the village, he was wearing black clothes and standing in the cemetery.
Watching several former high-level officials of the village being buried.
The wind and sand today are... very big.
The explanation given by the village was very simple... it was that the intelligence was leaked and the enemy attacked by surprise.
The Shinobi World war has ended for a long time. The other side has no intention of provoking a war, so it has made careful combat arrangements and disguises. It is currently impossible to determine the identity of the murderer.
But it was probably done by several other ninja villages.
The person who personally held the coffin for burial was none other than Third Kazekage, who had a serious face and a slightly sad expression.
Yubi knows all of this.
The person standing next to him is the "murderer" Scorpion.
Yubi looked at the indifferent Rasa not far away.
And... the eyes of some civilian ninjas present felt the strange atmosphere lingering over the cemetery.
He knows... the shuffle is about to begin!
