Chapter 1268 Dismissal
Victory, and an undisputed victory!
Although the loss is not small, it is still within the bearable range, and the situation is even better than expected.
After the battle damage statistics of the five major ninja villages are calculated, it is obvious that Konoha ninjas have the highest overall quality, the most complete medical system, and the acceptance level is not comparable to that of other ninja villages. With the same number of casualties, Konoha ninjas can be saved The largest number of people survive and return to the front line.
The next best performer is the Iwa Ninja, who is thick-skinned, strong in vitality, skilled in battle formations, and full of toughness, so he deserves the title.
The Mist Ninja and Cloud Ninja are relatively inferior, especially the Mist Ninja. The battle damage is obviously much higher. In terms of life-saving ability, it is indeed much weaker.
Suna Ninja's performance is still average, and the public data is not very good, but privately, Daimaru and Gaara are still quite satisfied.
Due to the large number of external mercenaries, the overall number of Sunagakure ninjas is relatively high, and the number of casualties is also a bit dazzling. However, most of them are wandering samurai and bounty hunters who lick blood from their swords. The Sunagakure Village headquarters and reserves did not suffer much losses. .
In all the shinobi wars, Sunagakure Village stood on the side of the winner for the first time, and the price paid was not high.
Being able to successfully wade through the murky waters of the Fourth Ninja War, Sunagakure Village was quite satisfied from top to bottom.
"How does it feel to be the first Kazekage to lead the village to win the Ninja War?"
Gaara, who has obviously grown up, is close to Daimaru in height. Compared with Temari, who has a good figure and slender limbs but is obviously shorter, and Kankuro, who is slightly fatter, Gaara is almost as big as Garuru and Rasa. All the advantages are inherited.
Garuro's petite figure, hair color and face were passed down to Temari, but he did not teach his good temper to his eldest daughter; Rasa's taciturn and unwillingness to speak loudly was left to Kankuro, but his insidious and cunning nature But it was lost.
Gaara, who brought together the strengths of the entire family, responded very calmly:
"We just took a ride, the real main force is the Konoha ninja..."
If it were an "ordinary" ninja war like in the past, the configuration of Sunagakure Village might really surprise the enemy.
Unfortunately, the opponents in the Fourth Ninja War were not ninja forces in the general sense.
The two people standing at a high place looked down at the ninja alliance below who seemed to have eliminated the barriers and gathered together to celebrate wantonly.
"There still needs to be pressure from foreign enemies to encourage everyone to join forces, otherwise..."
Daimaru shook his head slightly and sighed,
"The comrades who share life and death no longer exist, and we are allies worthy of being 'trusted' again!"
The so-called two armies of the ninja world are destined to be short-lived. The five major ninja villages are not completely compatible with each other. This is not only due to the blood feud caused by years of war, but also the conflict of vital interests that affects the judgment of the "Five Kages".
Being around Daimaru, I also understand the rules of many group struggles. Naturally, I understand that Daimaru is not just talking about it.
"A major conflict will definitely not happen in a short time. However, if an open fight turns into a secret fight, it is not necessarily less important than a ninja war!"
"Competition in peacetime is more dangerous. There is no blood or sword, and it is even more difficult to resist..."
Daimaru was afraid and patted Gaara on the shoulder.
"When people are calm, they also need shelter from the wind and rain. Your burden is very heavy!"
"And you?"
"It will take many years to digest the spoils of war!"
Although we don't know exactly how much benefit Daimaru made, we can also judge from some clues that there are still many secrets that have not been exposed in this ninja war.
Daimaru had at least one pair of Mangekyō Sharingan in his hand, which made many people jealous.
If Mr. "Red Sand Dust" hadn't been powerful and notoriously difficult to mess with, had a bad temper, and would fall out whenever he disagreed, I'm afraid someone would have come to test him a long time ago.
Bad reputation sometimes works better than good reputation.
If you want to be a "shadow", you must be recognized by the villagers, and a good reputation is essential; a master like Daimaru who has mixed reputations has reached the point where he can ignore the opinions of most ordinary people, so a little notoriety will not No matter how much harm it brings, it can save a lot of trouble.
"you……"
Gaara hesitated to speak, and after thinking for a while he compromised and said,
"I will solve the superficial troubles for you. For the rest, you should take good care of yourself and don't expose any flaws!"
"As long as you can stop others' mouths! If you really want to take action even though you can't say anything, I don't mind showing off the majesty of the 'Red Sand Dust'."
The exchanges between the Ninja Villages were done openly and openly, so that people who did not know the truth could see them.
The two talked about their next plans for a while, and Gaara went to join the other "Kage", as a symbol of the major ninja villages, to jointly declare the victory of the Fourth Ninja World War.
Daimaru left a puppet substitute as a "mascot", and the main body followed the passage of the illusion space to the Land of Rain.
This place used to be the base camp of the villains, but now, there are only a few defeated soldiers left behind.
The nominal leader, Konan, is still in a coma and cannot handle official duties for the time being. After Daimaru's true form arrives, he will take care of all the general affairs. Ibaraki, who is waiting for the final result, wakes up Konan, and then convinces her to prepare to join forces with the ninja world. surrender.
"Why should we surrender to the coalition forces? Why not just surrender to the nearest ninja army?"
Xiaonan asked innocently, exposing his shallow political acumen.
Ibaraki replied in a dry tone:
"What is the purpose of surrender? Put down your weapons and accept the enemy's full discretion? How naive! Instead of fighting to the end, you choose to surrender just because you want to get benefits that cannot be obtained on the battlefield through this action. Otherwise, you will still have to surrender." It's better to just die together and still show some backbone!"
Although there are only a few remnants of the "Akatsuki" organization left, it is still valuable. At least, it actually controls the Kingdom of Rain.
No matter which ninja army you surrender to, the final result will not be good. Every great ninja village cannot hold the Kingdom of Rain in its hands because other ninja villages will not agree.
Over and over again, it would be too embarrassing for the Amegakure to surrender. It would be better to surrender directly to all ninjas, that is, the ninja world coalition, and nominally let others slaughter it. In fact, with the restraint of all parties, there is a high probability that Amegakure Village will be preserved.
Surrender is also a technical job. The posture of surrender and the timing of raising the white flag are not something that ordinary people can understand. The Sand Ninja has rich experience in defeat and surrender. He really knows how to maintain his own interests as much as possible by bowing his head and admitting defeat when losing.
To surrender, you have to find the biggest boss on the opposite side, so that you can maintain your dignity and retain a glimmer of hope.
Even if Daimaru wants to take control of the Rain Country, if he unilaterally accepts the surrender of the "Akatsuki" organization, will other ninja villages be convinced?
They formed a coalition army and fought hard to win, but in the end the Sunagakure Village took away the biggest fruit. This was obviously unreliable.
Instead of obtaining the maximum benefit openly, it is better to control it secretly.
No matter how the Ninja Alliance forces deal with Amegakure Village in the end, as long as its top brass are under the control of Sunagakure Village.
Is it difficult to do this?
There is a good chess piece right in front of you.
No matter how he calculated it, Konan was Jiraiya's student in name only, and this female ninja really didn't have any excessive bad deeds spread.
The principal culprit is definitely not unjust, but it would be reasonable to name an accomplice. More importantly, Jiraiya is still alive, and his ideas must be taken into account in how to arrange the settlement of Konan and Amegakure Village.
No matter what happens, the fate of the Hidden Rain Village will be inseparable from the Suna Ninja's subtle interference.
"But……"
Xiao Nan had doubts in her heart. The effect of the strongest illusion: Betrayal God had not disappeared yet, and some forced hints were still in effect. It was not easy to bypass it.
Xiaonan indeed did not show such ability. In the end, after discussing with Ibaraki and others, he agreed to such a proposal.
If Xiaonan stays in office in the end, it would be best to continue to be in charge of Yuyin Village, but if that doesn't work, many of the cadres below are already his own.
As for Ibaraki and Hayakura, the shogunate who goes by the alias "Smoke Ra", Daimaru plans to let them continue to be active as wandering ninjas and bounty hunters in the dark side of the ninja world such as underground bounty houses.
Some enemies that cannot be attacked by Sand Ninja must be assisted by powerful "external forces".
The reason why the "Akatsuki" organization was able to develop rapidly after Yahiko's death was because they undertook various national war conflicts in the ninja world.
Selling war is indeed the fastest way for "mercenaries" who want money rather than their lives and have no moral bottom line to make money.
However, Ibaraki is a self-disciplined puppet controlled by Daimaru, simulating intelligence and intelligence to the point where he is almost indistinguishable from humans.
Ye Cang is different. Strictly speaking, she is still an adult female ninja in her twenties. Her physical condition and temperament have not changed much from the moment she died in battle many years ago.
It is still a question whether he is a strong man who was once expected to ascend to the position of the fourth generation of the Kazekage. Whether he is willing to live in the underground world of materialistic desires all his life.
Of course, this is something that needs to be considered in the future. The most important thing for Daimaru now is to deal with the aftermath quickly and erase the traces of possible exposure of identity and involvement of Sunagakure Village. How to get a happy result still needs to be slowly explored.
"Hey, kid..."
Before preparing to leave, Zhuo Dun's commander Ye Cang stopped Daimaru and asked,
"I heard that you voluntarily gave up the position of acting as Kazekage's agent, and you were not even tempted by the Kazekage Sixth Generation who was within easy reach. Are you really selfless and unmoved by fame and fortune, or do you look down on Kazekage's position?"
Rumors spread through the gossips, such as Daimaru not wanting to embarrass Temari or embarrass his brother-in-law, so he took the initiative to give in.
At this point, Zhuo Dun made Ye Cang not believe it at all.
Although she didn't spend a long time with Daimaru, she also experienced some of Daimaru's behavior.
It is impossible to say that the personal relationship between Temari, Kankuro and Gaara has no impact at all; but to say that Daimaru gave up the authority of Sunagakure Village and the Country of Wind for this is too natural. .
The "Red Dust" uncle is a ninja who values human relationships very seriously, acts recklessly, and does everything he wants. The Kazekage's position is not trivial, and he is not a tool to please his future wife and brother-in-law.
Since he was given up by Daimaru, there was only one possibility. Daimaru never thought of occupying the position of Kazekage for a long time from the beginning. After Gaara recovered from his serious injury, he immediately retreated to the second line.
"Is there any sand ninja who hasn't had a sweet dream of becoming a Kazekage? It's just that I am more self-aware. Kazekage is a profession that requires sacrifice, especially..."
After Daimaru paused, he shook his head slightly and said with a smile,
"Sacrifice in peacetime is more difficult and boring. That kind of life is not suitable for me! Compared with this, I prefer the fields that only I can do and I can't play without me. Only in this way, Only then can I show my ability..."
In the past, it was difficult to choose a Kazekage in Sunagakure Village, but now there are many alternatives. Even whoever replaces him will not do too badly. Rather than wasting time on trivial matters, it is better to do more Care about something more important.
It's not that Gaara's work is unimportant, but Daimaru doesn't want to spend his time on vulgar matters that "cannot open up the layers".
Ye Cang curled his lips.
"Isn't this just because you don't like it, so you don't want to do it? No matter how much you say, it's just an excuse!"
"If you think so, there's nothing I can do about it!"
Daimaru spread his hands,
"I hope that the day you return to Sand Hidden Village, you will have a more secure identity. As for how to operate, I won't bother you anymore. You can prepare it yourself!"
Whether it is Ye Cang, the Burning Escaper, or the Fire Mist Demon "Yan Yan Luo", they are not suitable to be under the name of Sand Hidden Village. There must be a new and reliable identity so that Ye Cang can return and occupy Sand Hidden Village. a place.
…
On the other side, with Kaguya Otsutsuki being sealed, the toad of Mt. Myoboku that was ready to make a move was also calmed down. The Ryuji Cave where they fought seemed to have a lot of movement, but in fact there were not many real casualties.
Both sides were restrained and fought back and forth without breaking out more conflicts. Finally, with the end of the Fourth Ninja War, it ended smoothly.
"You two, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
"This is what I say to the resentful spirits. It's not because our souls don't go to the Pure Land because we have unfulfilled wishes..."
"You have thought clearly!"
Daimaru said with a smile,
"If I just cancel the reincarnation in the dirty earth, you won't even have the chance to say your last words..."
"That's something that living people can do, we would have been dead long ago!"
Uchiha Itachi replied indifferently.
Indeed, Uchiha Sasuke has grown up smoothly, and it is estimated that there will not be too much risk in the future, so the so-called worries are naturally put aside.
As for Nagato, Konan is the only one he cares about. Unfortunately, he no longer has the strength to stay by her side to provide protection, so she can only rely on herself for everything.
Maybe in the future I won’t be comfortable enough, nor will I be very transparent, and I won’t even be able to identify the lies around me one by one, but at least I will be able to live the rest of my life relatively safely.
