Chapter 425 The prey takes the bait

In Sand Hidden Village.

Luo Sha was in the Fengying Building with a worried look on his face.

Because the Sand Village is extremely short of funds now and after the defeat in the Third Ninja World War, the Daimyo of the Wind Country, who had always advocated disarmament, has now further reduced the funding for the Sand Village, leaving the Sand Village with insufficient funds to train ninjas.

If he had not used the magnetic ninjutsu to pan for gold and used the collected gold as village funds, the number of ninjas in the Sand Village might have dropped sharply.

Originally, Rasa was still waiting for an opportunity, because Sarutobi Hiruzen in Konoha was already old, and there seemed to be no candidate for the sixth Hokage.

Rasa was waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen to abdicate or die of old age, because all power was firmly in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands, and the alternation of power would definitely cause a certain degree of turmoil in Konoha.

And that was Luo Sha's chance.

When the First Kazekage Retto held the first Five Kage Summit, he rejected Hashirama Senju's suggestion to give the Sand Village the Tailed Beasts and instead asked for funds and land.

Although he was reprimanded by his remaining shadows, the First Kazekage still insisted on his own opinion. Finally, Hashirama Senju gave in and gave him some fertile land.

And this piece of land became the foundation of the Sand Village.

Just a small part of the fertile land would be enough for the Sand Village to develop stably. If they could take advantage of this opportunity to seize some more fertile land, it wouldn't matter even if the daimyo reduced the funding for the Sand Village.

But Rasa did not expect that Konoha's Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze was not dead, he had been in a coma and is now awake.

This caused Luo Sha's plan to fail halfway.

Konoha is a place with great natural advantages. The Third Ninja World War was almost entirely directed against Konoha, but Konoha managed to survive and has even almost regained its former prosperity.

Konoha is too powerful. If it continues like this, the Sand Village will always live under the shadow of Konoha.

At that time, to put it nicely, the Sand Village would be Konoha's most loyal ally, but to put it bluntly, they would be Konoha's lackeys and would have to depend on Konoha's consent before they could do anything.

Can the Sand Village, which has completely lost its autonomy, still be considered one of the five major ninja villages?

Just when Luo Sha was feeling sad, he suddenly felt like he was being watched.

Luo Sha stood up suddenly and looked behind him.

Luo Sha's eyes fixed and saw a snake outside the window.

But there shouldn't be this kind of snake in the desert.

In other words, this snake is someone's psychic animal.

Even though he discovered it, the snake did not leave, so Luo Sha opened the window.

Just as Luo Sha guessed, the snake did not attack him. Instead, its abdomen moved and it spit out a scroll.

After spitting out the scroll, the snake turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.

Luo Sha looked at the scroll with his brows tightly furrowed.

too disgusting.

Luo Sha suppressed his nausea, picked up the scroll and began to read.

After seeing the contents, Luo Sha's expression suddenly became serious, and his eyes were full of horror.

Luo Sha sat back in his chair, looking extremely solemn.

Luo Sha did not expect that the people behind the now popular Otogakure Village would be Orochimaru and Chiba, the master and disciple.

They never expected that Orochimaru and Chiba would want to cooperate with their Sand Village to attack Konoha.

Sitting in a chair, Luo Sha was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Suddenly Luo Sha laughed: "I heard that the cooperation between Otogakure Village and Konoha is very close. The old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen was actually fooled by his own apprentice and grand-disciple. It's really hilarious."

After laughing for a while, Luo Sha's smile disappeared and his eyes narrowed slightly.

It is common knowledge throughout the ninja world that Orochimaru and Chiba are both traitors to Konoha and hate Konoha.

So when it comes to cooperating with the Sand Village to attack Konoha, Rasa believes that Orochimaru and Chiba are serious about it. After all, the joint Chunin exam launched by Konoha is indeed a good opportunity.

Orochimaru and Chiba are also very powerful, especially Chiba, who is currently recognized as the top figure in the ninja world, and the Otonagakure Village is now in its heyday.

Konoha is holding a joint Chunin exam. He will also go to Konoha to watch the last match. When the time comes, he will cooperate with the outside world...

Luo Sha's fingers tapped the table rhythmically.

This matter...seems to have some potential.

But Orochimaru is also famous for his cunningness in the ninja world.

After thinking for a while, Luo Sha decided to talk to Orochimaru and Chiba in person before making a decision.

Luo Sha called three trusted jonin, left the Sand Village and headed for the meeting place.

...

Chiba, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi were waiting for Rasa in the shadow of a sandstone.

Qianyu asked, "Teacher Orochimaru, with your current strength, it's easy to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen. I will stop Namikaze Minato, and the others are no threat to you. It seems unnecessary to let Kidomaru and the others use the Four Purple Flame Formation to create a one-on-one battle environment for you and Sarutobi Hiruzen, right?"

Orochimaru replied to Chiba: "Although I will let him die as a hero, I want to see if his will of fire can be recognized by the first and second generation Hokage. If the first and second generation Hokage recognize his will of fire, then it means that the village of Konoha has been corrupt and full of lies from the beginning."

Qianyu touched his chin and said, "If that's the case, let's go together."

Orochimaru was surprised: "Together? You mean..."

Qianyu nodded: "Let Minato Namikaze know the truth. Since he knows the truth, at least let Sarutobi Hiruzen, the person involved, be present. When the lies are torn apart and the bloody truth is laid out in front of Minato Namikaze, I want to see how Minato Namikaze will continue to deceive himself."

Orochimaru chuckled: "Hehe, then let's cooperate with each other."

Chiba suddenly looked to the right and said to Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, "Teacher Orochimaru, Kabuto, the prey has taken the bait and is heading here. There are four prey in total."

Orochimaru said to Yakushi Kabuto: "Kabuto, please stay away for the time being."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, please be careful Lord Chiba."

Yakushi Kabuto temporarily left here and hid in a secluded place far away, where he could see this place.

Qianyu stretched and said, "I will take care of the three jonin later. Teacher Orochimaru, just use Rasa to test the ability of your Sharingan."

Orochimaru showed a smile like a poisonous snake on his face.

"Well, I believe that through Luo Sha, I can get more data about this body. After all, I have transplanted more than one bloodline limit into this body."
