Chapter 472: Cooperation
Sunagakure.
Kazekage office.
After Luo Sha received the guests.
Called Maki and Yura over.
Maki is the teacher of Gaara and others, deeply trusted by Rasa, and Yura is Maki's comrade-in-arms.
Both of them were talents trained by Rasa for Gaara, so that Gaara would have someone to assist him when he came to power in the future.
At present, the performance of the two people is very impressive, Ma Ji is mature and steady, and Yuliang is more energetic.
However, the two of them are still relatively young now. Although he promoted them to elders, they still have to polish their qualifications.
Now there is a major event related to the overall development of Sunagakure, and Luosha needs to find two people for reference.
Maki and Yura soon arrived.
Luo Sha asked all the ANBU to go out, leaving only the three of them in the office.
Because they were all on their own, Luo Sha didn't talk in circles.
"Someone from a powerful force was preparing to deal with Konoha just now and asked us if we wanted to join forces."
"What do you think?"
Ma Ji and Yu Liang looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes?
Marki asked doubtfully: "What is the identity of the other party?"
Luo Sha shook her head:
"They did not reveal their identities, but came to discuss cooperation in the name of a caravan."
"But there are a lot of hints in their words. I guess they are grass ninjas."
Yura asked: "Did they say how to attack Konoha?"
Luo Sha still shook his head:
"No, they kept their attack methods secret, but in words, it was not only their people, but also other people."
Yura's eyes flashed:
"Did they say anything about cooperation?"
Luo Sha showed a thoughtful expression:
"They said they would find a way to cause unrest in Konoha."
"At that time, they will attack the civilian areas of Konoha and those who take the Chunin Exam at the same time."
"Civil area!?"
Marki showed disbelief in his eyes:
"No matter how much Konoha's current security strength declines, it is impossible for people to enter civilian areas."
Marki is right. Commercial areas, mission areas, and tourist areas generally have no restrictions.
But those places are either of little value or are places where Konoha ninjas focus on defense.
To enter Konoha's residential areas, you need to pass through several blockades.
It is possible for one or two masters to sneak in, but for a large-scale attack, unless you push down Konoha's wall.
Otherwise it is unlikely.
Of course Rasa also knew how difficult it was to attack the civilian areas of Konoha.
"The other party didn't say the method, but it's guaranteed to cause huge chaos."
"We just have to deal with the Fifth Hokage."
Marky thought for a moment and shook his head slightly:
"This Chunin Exam is probably Orochimaru's move to establish his authority. It's best for us not to wade into this muddy water."
Yuliang's eyes fluctuated slightly:
"I think this is an opportunity."
"We just need to bring enough people there. If Konoha has the advantage then, we can help Konoha."
"If the situation in Konoha is unfavorable, we can also be the straw that breaks the camel's back."
"No matter what, we can strike back and gain benefits."
Yura's words touched Luo Sha's heart.
He has dug up alluvial gold over the years and really doesn't want to dig anymore.
But the Kingdom of Wind is too poor.
There are few livable places and little area for farming. Although the area is large, it is all yellow sand.
The daimyo of the Land of Wind didn't have much money to allocate to Sunagakure Village.
After all, the great names of the Kingdom of Wind don't have much money.
Digging for placer gold is not a long-term solution.
In recent years, almost all the placer gold that can be found has been mined.
Sunagakure Village's finances are slowly declining again.
Many elders hinted to Luo Sha whether it was time to find other solutions, either openly or secretly.
But no one dared to speak loudly in front of Luo Sha.
Without him to go gold mining, Sunagakure might have fallen into disgrace as one of the top five ninja villages.
Luo Sha naturally understood that the so-called other method was to launch a war.
But starting a war is easy, but if you want to win it, you have to put in some effort.
Sunagakure is surrounded by small countries that are like buffer zones.
Of course these small countries, Sunagakure, can be fought, but after fighting, they will directly border the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire.
In terms of national strength, there is no small country like this buffer zone.
On the contrary, the Kingdom of Wind will be more dangerous.
This is why the Kingdom of Wind always skips the Kingdom of Sichuan and directly attacks the Kingdom of Fire.
Of course, the land in Kawa Country has little value, which is also one of the reasons.
Other countries simply cannot imagine Sunagakure's desire for land.
But the most fertile Fire Country, Konoha Village, has always been one of the best in the ninja world.
The previous ninja wars, even multi-front battles, were won.
This also makes Sunagakure's land dream always a luxury hope.
Now that the strength of Konoha Village has dropped sharply, it is difficult for Luo Sha not to be tempted.
The key problem is that Yura is right, Sunagakure can completely be a walleye and wait until the situation becomes clear before taking action.
Helping Konoha repel the incoming enemies will give Suna Ninja Village a lot more business orders, but that's not too much.
If it can really hit Konoha hard.
That……
There are many more things to come.
Konoha also invited many people from other ninja villages to come and take the chunin exam. If other ninja villages were injured or died as a result.
There might even be diplomatic disputes.
If Konoha suffered heavy losses this time, then other ninja villages would definitely use this as an excuse.
Like a shark that smells blood, it comes to eat the land of the Land of Fire.
After all, the land of the Fire Country is recognized as the most fertile land.
"I prefer Yura's idea."
Luo Sha, as the Kazekage, is also an old miner who has been digging for many years.
Still want to try it and see if there is a chance.
A flash of joy flashed in Yura's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.
When Ma Ji heard what Luo Sha said, he didn't object.
"Well, Lord Rasa, you have to bring Gaara with you."
Luo Sha also thought the same way: "Of course, in name only."
"Let Gaara take the chuunin exam again."
Rasa said teasingly, Gaara has made rapid progress over the years and is already a chuunin.
But this kind of thing is just a trivial matter. As long as Gaara and Sunagakure don't tell it, no one else will know.
After all, Gaara is only over 12 years old now.
Sand Ninja Village is the poorest among the five great Ninja Villages.
The only valuable one is the one-tailed jinchūriki.
So this time we only need to bring Gaara with us, and there will be nothing left to worry about in Sunagakure Village.
Yura looked at the heat and said:
"We, Sunagakure, can go with more people this time to protect the safety of Kazekage-sama and Gaara."
"It can also form the greatest strength at critical moments."
Ma Ji was quite satisfied after hearing what Yura said. Finally, his comrade also knew how to be cautious?
Markey agreed:
"Kazekage-sama, Yura is right. This is a rare opportunity. Both you and Gaara are going. I think we need to bring more people with us."
Luo Sha thought for a moment: "Okay, I think so too."
