Chapter 345: Sand Village's Decision

"Lord Kazekage, when we Sunagakure and Konoha signed this agreement, it was because the village needed to recuperate, and we had no choice but to sign such an unfair River Country Peace Agreement with Konoha!!"

"Nowadays!!" As he spoke, Ye Cang looked down at the Sand Village members present.

"Right now, Konoha is fighting on two fronts with Iwagakure and Kumogakure. Konoha's military strength is definitely not enough." Ye Cang saw that all the Sand Village members present were looking at her, paused and continued.

"If we can get in touch with Iwagakure and Kumogakure, even if we don't send troops to attack Konoha, we can use the connection between Kumogakure and Iwagakure to put pressure on Konoha and force Konoha to change the River Country Peace Agreement that it signed with us."

"Even further expand the territory of the Kingdom of Wind!!" Ye Cang stretched out his white jade finger and pointed at a map of the ninja world hanging on the wall behind Luo Sha! !

"Lord Yegura, what you said makes sense!" A Sand Ninja with a sweat towel covering his face whispered to the people around him.

"Yes, Konoha's conditions back then were too harsh!!" More and more people joined the discussion.

“We shouldn’t just sit there and wait for death!!”

"We should let Konoha know that we, the Sand Village, are also one of the five great nations."

"Master Ye Cang, you are absolutely right!!"

The meeting was filled with noise, as many Sunagakure jonin discussed Ye Cang's proposal in a low voice.

Luo Sha, who was sitting in the first seat, looked at the messy meeting scene and his face turned pale.

The two eyebrows were tightly pressed together, as if they would never be separated again.

Hearing the discussions of the senior ninjas around him, a long-lost smile appeared on Ye Cang's fair face.

But Ye Cang didn't notice that Luo Sha, who was sitting at the first seat, looked at her with cold eyes.

I don’t know what Luo Sha is thinking.

"Cough cough cough!" Luo Sha couldn't help but cough a few times as he looked at the discussion of the jonins who were getting louder and louder.

I heard Luo Sha coughing.

The voices of the people discussing gradually died down until there was complete silence.

After stopping the discussion, everyone turned their attention to Luo Sha.

"Ye Cang, Jonin, please sit down first!" Luo Sha first asked Ye Cang, who was still standing, to sit down.

"Yes, Lord Fengying!" Ye Cang was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that after Luo Sha and others stopped the discussion, the first thing they did was to ask her to sit down.

Without thinking too much, Ye Cang sat back in his seat obediently.

After seeing Ye Cang sit down obediently, Luo Sha's frown finally relaxed a little.

"Ye Cang, Jonin, have you ever thought about what you said if Kumogakure and Iwagakure don't support us Sand Village?" Luo Sha looked at Ye Cang.

Ye Cang himself knew that everything she had just said was based on the assumption that all conditions were favorable.

Thinking of this, Ye Cang couldn't help but blink his big eyes and looked at the old Chiyo of Sand Village who was sitting in the first seat on the right side of Luo Sha.

He looked at Chiyo with a longing look, hoping that Chiyo would speak for him.

As an elder of the Sand Village, Chiyo's opinions are something that even the Kazekage can easily ignore.

Seeing Ye Cang's eyes, Grandma Chiyo sighed softly.

"This little girl is really..." Grandma Chiyo shook her head secretly in her heart and moved the chair under her back.

Seeing Chiyo's actions, Ebizo, who was the first on the left, secretly shouted in his heart: "Sister!!"

"Mother-in-law!!!" Ye Cang almost cried out when she saw Chiyo's actions. Her fair cheeks turned an unnatural red because she was too excited. Her white and tender hands were clenched into fists and placed under the table, hiding her inner excitement.

Ebizo and Yekura could see Chiyo's movements, and Rasa, who was sitting in the first seat, could naturally see it more clearly.

"You should know that before the last war in River Country, Grandma Chiyo also discussed the matter with Kumogakure and Iwagakure, and even signed an offensive and defensive alliance at that time!!" Luo Sha spoke first without waiting for Chiyo to speak.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Chiyo's movements froze.

After hearing what Luo Sha said, Chiyo's eyes dimmed.

It was indeed she who personally went to discuss the River Kingdom War with Ōnoki and the Third Raikage Ai.

It is also an indisputable fact that the two countries violated the offensive and defensive alliance at that time.

In the final analysis, the reason why Sunagakure still stubbornly launched an attack on Konoha even though its military strength was obviously inferior to that of Konoha.

This was because of the offensive and defensive alliance signed jointly by Chiyo-chan representing Sunagakure, Ohnoki representing Iwagakure, and the Third Raikage Ai representing Kumogakure as their confidence.

Everyone saw the result. Sunagakure was defeated, while Kumogakure and Iwagakure stood by and watched.

The Sand Village suffered a heavy loss and was forced to sign the humiliating River Kingdom Peace Agreement with Konoha.

"Jōnin Yecang, how can you guarantee that Kumogakure and Iwagakure won't betray us again?" Luo Sha stared at Yecang and asked.

"I...I guarantee it with my life!" Under Luo Sha's questioning, Ye Cang stammered and was unable to speak. In the end, he could only say that he would guarantee it with his life.

"Haha, how can we treat the state affairs between the two countries as a joke?" Luo Sha laughed.

"As the person in charge of the last River Country War, I am willing to withdraw from the top leadership of Sunagakure. Please, Lord Kazekage, remove me from my position as advisor!!" As soon as Luosha finished speaking, Chiyo stood up and said in a hoarse voice.

"Advisor Chiyo, the village is in need of people right now, you can't just leave it alone!" Luo Sha tried to persuade Chiyo to stay.

Ignoring Ye Cang's surprised look.

Chiyo shook her head. As a veteran who had been involved in politics for many years, she knew that what Luo Sha said just now was meant for her.

The River Kingdom lost the war and needed someone to take the blame, and Chiyo was undoubtedly the best candidate.

Finally, under Chiyo's repeated insistence, Rasa took advantage of the situation and arranged Chiyo as the honorary elder of the Sand Village, and never interfered in the affairs of the village again.

After seeing his sister's choice, Chiyo's younger brother, Ebizo, also resigned from his position as consultant. Finally, under Rasa's repeated insistence, Ebizo finally continued to serve as the captain of the Sunagakure puppet force.

After Granny Chiyo and Ebizo resigned from their advisory positions, the top leadership of Sunagakure became dominated by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.

"

"Yakura Jounin, your proposal is too risky. I don't agree! The most important thing for Sand Village right now is to recuperate!! Not take risks!! Now everyone vote!!"

"Please raise your hands if you agree with what I say!" After saying this, Luo Sha asked the Sand Ninja Jounins present to express their opinions.

Ultimately, Rasa's opinion took up the majority of seats at the Jonin Council.

Next, I will convey a friendly message to Konoha on behalf of Sand Village, and strive to gain more advantages for Sand Village!! " Luo Sha said to all the Sand Ninjas present.
