Chapter 508 Lobbying
A week later, there was a regular summary meeting in Sunagakure Village.
Gathering the important people in the village to discuss the gains and losses of the month was a leftover method of decision-making by the elders during the special period when Feng Ying was vacant.
It has been a little half a year since Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage, succeeded to the throne, but such activities have still not been cancelled, which shows that Gaara has not obtained the complete authority of the village chief.
Daimaru, who dominates alone, is now considered a very important figure in the village, but because his field does not overlap much with other high-ranking sects, except for the group of puppet masters who have a love-hate relationship with Daimaru, they are not much related to Daimaru. dispute.
Therefore, the rise of a new force composed of a large number of young civilian puppet masters and apprentices headed by Daimaru did not cause too much turmoil.
Having attended several regular meetings that were more ceremonial than practical, Daimaru was already a familiar face.
Although I don’t want to come, it is the last summary meeting before the year. It is indispensable to compliment and ventilate each other.
Daimaru, who had great influence but was still relatively junior, sat down below, yawning and listening to what the elders were discussing. Gaara would say a few words from time to time.
Probably because Gaara has gained some prestige recently, and coupled with the vague support of the powerful Daimaru, everyone will give him some face, and they don't completely treat Gaara as non-existent like before.
The noisy and chaotic scene in the past has improved a bit, and it is generally peaceful, like a slightly angry tea party.
Throughout the year, you have to worry about your face!
After a short while, the uneventful meeting ended, and everyone dispersed in twos and threes. Gaara winked at Daimaru, and the two people who stayed behind walked side by side, talking quietly.
"Are you serious about withdrawing from Ichibi Shukaku?"
Gaara asked in a deep voice.
"I've been pondering this idea for a long time, but I don't want to implement it. It mainly depends on your thoughts...and the guy inside you..."
"Hard to say!"
Gaara hesitated.
To put it very bluntly, the ending of the Kazekage fourth generation Rasa's family being ruined and Gaara's unbearable experiences in his childhood were largely caused by Ichibi Shukaku.
If it was still the same monster that made trouble from time to time more than a year ago, Gaaraba would have to get rid of it as soon as possible.
But now the relationship with Shukaku is relatively harmonious, and the risk of losing control has been reduced to a minimum. There is no need to pull away from the tailed beast.
"Shukaku knows, right? What does it think?"
"The situation is unknown! What are your plans?"
A dry and strange voice suddenly came from Gaara's belly and said,
"If there is no legitimate reason, I will not let others manipulate me..."
Shukaku's character is actually like that of a naughty child who doesn't want to be left alone, but his power is too great. When he is "naughty", the damage he causes is too shocking.
As for the humans who died because of it, would the furry children who were playing care about the little ants they killed?
Tailed beasts, who are not human in the first place, still have different moral values from humans. Their goodwill is towards individual recognized Jinchuuriki, not the human group.
The tailed beast, which has had a deep hatred against humans for so many years, is still early to reconcile with humans!
Daimaru also expected Shukaku's attitude.
"It's just an idea, it's not time to implement it yet!"
Firstly, Gaara now still needs the one-tailed Shukaku to help him grow; secondly, Daimaru only provided an idea without any details; finally, this matter is too important and involves the whole village. Daimaru and Gaara couldn't agree on the safety and interests of others. They had to win the support of other people.
"Take some time and let's talk in detail. There are some secrets that are not suitable to be put on paper!"
"good!"
Gaara nodded,
"Tomorrow afternoon!"
"Okay! Let's stop here today. I have something else to go to see Elder Qianyo..."
…
Half an hour later, Chiyo came out of the private puppet workshop and saw Daimaru waiting.
"The retired old woman has been visited one after another recently, and her old bones can hardly hold on!"
"You are too modest. The young people in the village still need guidance from seniors like you!"
"Although this kind of compliment is a bit excessive, I just love hearing it, haha..."
Chiyo smiled easily, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to Daimaru,
"I wonder if there is something you have to see me about?"
"About Gaara and the tailed beasts, there are some things for which I must seek your opinion..."
"Tell me about it! Is there anything else in the village that you and Gaara can't do together?"
Chiyo asked with interest.
To be honest, appointing Gaara to succeed the Kazekage Fifth Generation was a bit of a gamble, but during this period, Gaara's performance was remarkable. A child of thirteen or fourteen years old, who first took charge of power, has really already There is no need to be too demanding.
The power in the village has generally remained intact, and power is undergoing a smooth transition. Coupled with the sudden rise of the "red sand" as a backing, Chiyo can't help but feel that the village, which has been decadent for more than ten years, is finally showing some signs of revival.
The last bond in his heart - the Red Sand Scorpion has come to an end. Chiyo is really considering letting go completely and focusing on the resurrection technique to see if he can let his grandson see the light of day again.
"I want to push Gaara and Ichibi Shukaku to break away..."
Daimaru's words instantly made Chiyo's face look serious:
"Do you want to change to a Jinchuuriki?"
"It doesn't count!"
Daimaru explained,
"After the tailed beast is extracted, although the Jinchuuriki will die, it is not absolute. If the arrangements are made properly, it will be fine..."
"I thought you had some dissatisfaction with Gaara..."
Chiyo withdrew her somewhat sharp gaze. As long as the two most outstanding young people in the village were not at odds with each other, everything else would be easy to deal with.
"How could it be? Gaara is a very talented Kazekage. Although his experience is a little lacking, in time, he will definitely become a respected leader..."
"Then why do you want to separate the tailed beasts..."
"Take the initiative and prevent what happened to the former Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha Village from happening again..."
"Kushina Uzumaki, is the Nine-Tails attacking the village?"
Chiyo tried to figure out the meaning of Daimaru's words.
The tragedy that happened in Konoha Village more than ten years ago was watched by the entire ninja world, but the goal of the "Akatsuki" organization is not necessarily just for the Kyuubi. Once Gaara also becomes a target, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be the same encounter.
"Do you think the Suna ninja can't protect the Ichibi?"
Daimaru hesitated, but finally shook his head solemnly:
"It's hard to say! Unless the five major ninja villages join forces, they will only be defeated by the Akatsuki organization one by one..."
