Chapter 357: Does Konoha want to invade foreign countries?

The people of the Sand Village dare not gamble. If they lose, the consequences will be disastrous.

To put it more simply, if you don't gamble, you just have to grit your teeth and endure it. It's not a big deal.

Anyway, the news has already been passed back to the village, and everything will be decided by the village chief.

If the bet is wrong and war breaks out, the person who made the decision will be in trouble and will definitely become the sinner of the village.

The current situation in the Sand Village is not enough to support the village in launching a war.

On the contrary, Konoha became stronger and stronger as time went by.

After two days of travel, Solo finally arrived at the border camp. He was the person sent by Luo Sha to resolve the issue of the caravan's goods being seized.

As a mediator, he will go to Konoha's border camp to mediate on behalf of the Sand Village.

Before that, he needed to go to his own camp to check the latest intelligence and news.

Something seems wrong.

As soon as he arrived at the camp, Solo found that the atmosphere in the camp was very solemn. Everyone looked as if they were facing a great enemy, as if a war was about to break out.

Something big is happening.

Realizing this, Solo immediately went to the headquarters and found the elite jonin who was in charge of the camp.

"What? You said Konoha has a tendency to start a war, and keeps sending people to sneak into the Wind Country to provoke you, hoping that you will take action?"

Solo never expected that he would receive a bunch of messages like this, and he was suddenly numb.

I'm here to mediate the seizure of the caravan's goods, not to deal with the possible outbreak of war.

Is Konoha crazy? What on earth is he trying to do?

Now, the camps of Konoha and Sand Village are in a state of tension and a fight may break out at any time.

All it takes is a little spark and a border war could break out.

Although it was only a small-scale battle, it could turn into a large-scale war at any time.

At that time, Konoha and the Sand Village would have no choice but to fight.

Because both sides are already in a difficult situation.

After getting all the information, Solo felt fortunate and breathed a sigh of relief:

"You did the right thing. The most important thing now is to exercise restraint and not make impulsive choices. Once a fight breaks out, it may turn into a war between the two villages."

"Since the news has been passed back to the village, we just need to wait for Lord Fengying to deal with it. Before the order from the village arrives, we cannot take the initiative to provoke a war."

"But the people of Konoha......."

“Let them be. Since they dare to provoke us like this, it means they are confident and prepared.

I'm afraid that as Konoha's strength recovers, it may have the idea of ​​launching a war against foreign enemies."

After thinking for a while, Zoro gave up the idea of ​​going to the Konoha camp to mediate for the caravan.

At this time, who the hell cares about the caravan?

War may break out at any time, so why bother mediating the caravan? Just stand aside.

It's just a matter of mediating the caravan, Solo can make the decision.

However, when the situation escalated to the level of war, it was beyond the ability of an elite jonin like him to handle, and he could only wait for the village's orders.

Fortunately, the camp has already sent the message back, and according to the time, the village should have responded.

The caravan's goods were seized and several responsible persons were arrested. This was indeed a trivial matter for the Sand Village.

Even between two villages with the best relationship, such small conflicts and frictions often occur.

Doesn’t the Sand Village often seize the goods of Konoha caravans?

After sending someone to mediate the matter, Luo Sha no longer paid attention to it. However, what he didn't expect was that new problems arose.

"People from Konoha keep crossing the border and entering the Wind Country to provoke?"

The corners of Luo Sha's eyes twitched slightly.

This is already a very dangerous signal.

If the people from Konoha just wanted to provoke them, they could just stroll around under the pretext of being lost, stir up trouble, and then withdraw after getting a response.

The purpose of doing this is simply to disgust the other person.

There is no other meaning.

But what Konoha did did not seem to be disgusting, but rather a deliberate provocation, deliberately angering their people, hoping to make them angry and launch an attack.

Konoha wants to declare war on the Sand Village!

This was Luo Sha’s first reaction.

Then he thought it was unlikely because Konoha had no precedent of actively declaring war on other large ninja villages.

Since the establishment of the ninja village, Konoha has only initiated a war once, and that was the attack on the Rain Village.

However, it was the Rain Village that provoked first.

Besides, the attack on Rain Village was not initiated by Konoha alone. Sand Village and Iwagakure also joined in, making it a complete melee among several parties.

"Go and ask Chiyo to come over."

"Yes, Lord Kazekage."

The Anbu ninja took Rasa's order and found Chiyo as soon as possible and asked her to go to the Kazekage's office.

Chiyo is now old and basically in semi-retirement.

If it weren't for Luo Sha's insistence, she would have retired with her brother Ebizo long ago.

"It looks like something important has happened in the village, sister."

Ebizo, who was sitting opposite Chiyo, laughed while holding his fishing rod.

"That should be the case. I don't know when I, old lady, can retire completely and have a good rest."

With a sigh, Chiyo slowly stood up, holding her waist, glanced at her brother who had completely become a fisherman, shook her head helplessly and left.

Ebizo was once the Minister of Intelligence, but due to certain things, he was blamed and had to choose to retire.

There are many dark things in Konoha, and it can only be said that there are also many in Sand Village.

Ebizo and Yekura, who was tricked into going to the Mist Village to die, are the victims. Fortunately, Ebizo will not die, and Luosha dare not easily deal with this respected intelligence chief.

There is no other way to deal with it, so the only option is to force him to retire, just like the Third Hokage.

"Is there something important that the Kazekage wants to talk to me about, old woman?"

Chiyo walked into the Kazekage's office tremblingly.

Her old appearance and the way she walked were very deceptive.

If you treat her like a half-dead old woman, you will die a miserable death.

Luo Sha didn't dare to put on airs in front of Chiyo. He nodded and greeted her before handing the scroll in his hand to Chiyo who was sitting on the side of the desk.

"The ninjas at Konoha's border camp seized some of the caravan's goods and captured some people?"

Chiyo slowly read the contents of the scroll, muttering to herself:

"Repeated provocations?"

At this moment, Chiyo's originally bent waist suddenly straightened up, and her whole body became radiant.

There was no trace of the old look from before.

"Fengying, it seems that these two incidents are not accidental, there must be a connection between them."

Luo Sha looked solemn:

"That's what I thought. The people of Konoha wouldn't target us for no reason. If the seizure of the caravan's goods could be an accident, then repeatedly sending people into the Wind Country to provoke and force the village's ninja to take action means that they want a fight to start."
