Chapter 558 Extraordinary times
This conclusion, which was completely contrary to ordinary people's thinking patterns, made Gaara silent for a long time before he suddenly realized:
"War in the ninja world is a disaster that destroys all order. For the weak, only by overthrowing and starting over can there be a chance of survival..."
When power is out of balance, there is actually only a thin line between despair, self-destruction, madness, arrogance and other traits for careerists.
Such a scene made Daimaru couldn't help but recall the two wars in his previous life that determined the direction of the world. Individual will, driven by the group, was really powerless.
"Onoki is a smart man. If the Five Kage Conference cannot restore the balance of power to the five major ninja villages, what do you think he will do?"
"So, we need to keep a low profile and at the same time, try to eliminate the possibility of war..."
"The decision-making power is not ours, Gaara, what Sunagakure Village thinks is actually not important at all..."
This is the most helpless thing. It was Daimaru who captured the tailed beast, and it was Daimaru who sent it to Konoha Village, but the one who can decide how it ends is Konoha Village and Naruto!
"Don't irritate the Iwa ninja, seize the benefits firmly, and just follow the Leaf Village. No matter whether the war between the ninja world can be fought or not, there is nothing wrong with following the strong..."
Gaara's intelligence is pretty good, but he is still young and has not fully thought about some of the deep-seated reasons. With a little prodding, he quickly understood the core conflict.
"Konoha Village is the center of the ninja world, and we managed to pick ourselves out and reaped a lot of benefits. It's not appropriate to say too much..."
"That's the truth!"
Daimaru clapped his hands and laughed, why did he "sell" the four-tailed Jinchuuriki to Konoha Village at a low price?
The separation of relations cannot be delayed for a moment. If it is delayed for a few days, this huge trouble will have to be dealt with by Sunagakure Village.
"But...it's really a fight!"
Gaara was a little hesitant, a young man full of ideals in his heart, still hoping for fewer unnecessary disputes.
"Have faith in the Fifth Hokage!"
Daimaru patiently persuaded his somewhat worried brother-in-law.
"You probably haven't seen what kind of person the current Hokage Tsunade is. She will handle this matter well. What we have to do is support her..."
Just as Daimaru said to Hatake Kakashi and "root" ninja Terai who came to negotiate a few days ago.
It doesn't matter if the shinobi world is in turmoil. When the strength is insufficient, it is actually necessary to adopt a "big deal" strategy.
"I understand what you mean!"
Gaara nodded understandingly.
Although the opinions of the elders are very sound, Daimaru's diplomatic attitude of keeping a low profile and following the strong is not in line with the ideas of most Suna ninjas who just want to make some noise when they have a little family fortune, but it is more practical. sex.
Moreover, this is consistent with the stance of goodwill towards Konoha that Gaara wants to advocate.
If it weren't for the fact that the rift with Iwagakure was really difficult to eliminate, a few knowledgeable people in Sandgakure actually wanted to normalize the relationship between the two villages. Anyway, they had regained their lost homeland and captured their tailed beast. A large piece of land was replaced.
Sunagakure Village, which has already gained a lot, just wants to digest the gains of the past two years as soon as possible, instead of clinging to hatred and missing the perfect opportunity for development.
Before leaving, Daimaru joked with a smile:
"Luckily we have the Godaime now, otherwise it would be so embarrassing!"
If the elders really follow the idea of delaying the selection of the Fifth Kazekage until the end of the year, then they will probably have to rush to find a "temporary Kazekage" to go to the Five Kage Conference.
"The fourteen-year-old Kazekage should be the youngest participant in the Five Shadows Conference!"
Gaara, whose sorrow was gone, showed a humble and confident smile on his face.
"It's not a bad thing to be young! Anyway, we'll talk about it after the new year. If there's any trouble, we'll deal with it next year!"
…
In less than two days, this year will be over.
In the past, Sunagakure Village was actually a bit quiet at this time.
The village was not very lively in the first place, because it was the middle of winter and the wind was biting, making it not suitable for outdoor activities, especially in the morning and evening.
Only midday when there is no wind, and half of the day, is a good time for everyone to go out for a walk.
Due to the increase in the share of tasks, the financial situation of Sunagakure Village has improved a lot. Not only has the income of most ninjas increased significantly, but Gaara also distributed special gifts to the families of ninjas who died fighting for the village on behalf of the village. To compensate, a few pounds of marinated fish and a small amount of fresh and juicy fruit.
Of course, meat products and other products are specially transported from Awaji Village. It is located on the seaside. It would be ridiculous if there was still a shortage of fish and salt.
When the fishing industry involving ninjas began to spread, and the combination of high-concentration brine, a by-product of multi-stage flash desalination plants, pickled seafood naturally became a staple in Awaji Village after simple processing. Mainstream food can not only meet their own needs, but can even feed Sunagakure Village, improving the food for the families of the air combat troops from time to time.
And those fruits that are not many but represent your heart are even more surprising. For ordinary families in Sunagakure Village, these are out-and-out luxuries. Even small fruits like grapes are worth selling on a per-selling basis. of.
This time, the action of distributing material pensions in the name of the village is also proof that the village is gradually getting rich.
For Gaara, this is a good opportunity to win people's hearts. In the past, there was an ordinary New Year's Eve, but suddenly there was an unexpected surprise. It is still very convincing. At least it can make everyone believe that he is still young even though he is still young. The Kazekage Godaime, who was under suspicion, was a leader who could bring benefits to the villagers.
After returning, Daimaru took a short rest and soon discovered that except for a few people on duty in the village who really couldn't leave, they were already on vacation.
"This is very different from last year when I was full of worries and worried that Iwagakure Village would take advantage of the situation and leave the village without a leader!"
My mother Wu Ye, who has been a lot busier recently but is also more fulfilled, sighed.
Young people are delighted with such changes, and elderly villagers are even more deeply moved by these changes.
The wind was still a bit strong, but under Daimaru's control, it became a gentle breeze blowing on his face. His mother Wu Ye supported his grandfather and rarely went out for a walk.
The last time the whole family had a dinner, Daimaru was promoted to a ninja level, but he became increasingly busy and it was really difficult to spare time.
"Daimaru, can you bring your girlfriend home this year?"
"It's hard to say!"
Daimaru answered with a smile.
"Why don't you hold on tighter?"
Perhaps in the hearts of some grandfathers who have begun to forget things, this little bit of attachment cannot be erased.
"Grandpa, your request is much more difficult than asking me to fight the Fifth Hokage for 300 rounds!"
