Chapter 407

Land of Wind.

Frontline battlefield.

Because the Sand Shinobi Village chose to launch an all-out attack, almost all the ninjas in the entire village were on the frontline battlefield, leaving only a small number of ninjas and juniors in the village behind.

There is a reason why they dare to do this. On the one hand, the Land of Wind is located in a desert environment with scarce resources. Ninjas who are not adapted to the terrain of the Land of Wind will be greatly affected in the territory of the Land of Wind.

On the other hand, from a geographical point of view, only the Rock Shinobi Village of the Land of Earth can attack the hinterland of the Land of Wind. However, once the Rock Shinobi Village spends a huge amount of troops to try to attack their hinterland, the Kumo Shinobi Village will definitely not let go of the opportunity.

Advantages in all aspects allow them to carry out an all-out attack.

Inside the camp.

In the most central tent.

"Kazekage-sama, this is today's battle damage statistics … 21 people were killed, 43 people were seriously injured, and 109 people were slightly injured …"

A Jonin from the Sand Village took the information and handed it to the Yondaime Kazekage.

Kazekage took a look at it and put it on the table and said: "There is no need to change the battle plan, continue to act according to the original plan tomorrow."

"Yes."

The Jonin nodded and left the tent.

In the tent, there was not only the Yondaime Kazekage, but also the Chief Staff Officer, Elder Chiyo, and several other high-level members of the Sand Village.

"In fact, before the attack on the Pakura side begins, it is most appropriate to stay still to reduce the battle damage, but this may cause suspicion on the Konoha side …"

Looking at the map on the table, Kazekage slowly said.

Kazekage nodded and said: "Yes, so in order to avoid Konoha being vigilant, even if there are some casualties, it is necessary to maintain the battle on the front line. When the operation on the Pakura side succeeds in one fell swoop, we can immediately reverse the situation on the battlefield!"

Chiyo looked at Kazekage with a deep gaze and said: "I hope it will be so smooth."

Kazekage noticed the strange look in Chiyo's eyes, but didn't respond, instead he said to Chiyo: "It's getting late, Elder Chiyo should go back and rest first, tomorrow it would be best if you lead another round of attack."

"…"

Chiyo didn't say much and walked out of the tent.

Kazekage looked at Chiyo's back, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

Among all the Kage of the five great shinobi villages in the ninja world, Kazekage's strength is the weakest among them. If nothing happens to the Sandaime Kazekage, it would be very difficult for him to succeed the Yondaime Kazekage.

But he hastily took over the position, whether it is the direct subordinates or the control of the village, they are far weaker than the Sandaime Kazekage, but he sat firmly in the position of the Yondaime Kazekage!

What he relies on is the means!

Launching a full-scale war against Konoha, setting off the third shinobi war, is one of his means!

The so-called revenge for the Sandaime Kazekage, making Konoha give him an explanation and so on is simply nonsense, even plundering Konoha's resources is only a secondary purpose.

His main purpose is to rely on the war to stabilize the position of the Kazekage!

Using this war to weaken the hostile clans and other high-level members, and to cultivate his own elite subordinates, this is what he really wants to do, so he doesn't care about the so-called casualties at all, he doesn't even care about the outcome of this war.

Feng's evaluation of Yondaime Kazekage Rosa is that he is a character similar to Danzo, but in terms of the overall situation, he is even worse than Danzo, after all, Danzo still has the goal of unifying the shinobi world.

What did Rosa do?

He brainlessly launched a full-scale war against Konoha, greatly consuming the combat power of his own village, and used this to enhance his own power and status, and stabilize the position of the Kazekage.

After that, because Pakura achieved dazzling results in the war and became a hero, threatening his position, he immediately joined forces with the Mist to plot and kill Pakura.

Then he kicked Chiyo and Zorōzō, who were highly respected and could compete with him in terms of status, out of the decision-making group, letting both of them retire.

After that, he was killed by Orochimaru during the Chunin Exam.

It can be said that throughout history, the Kazekage has never done anything that is truly beneficial to the Sand Village, everything he does is to stabilize his own power and status.

In a sense, Rosa's methods are indeed powerful, from taking over the Kazekage's position in a hurry to the point where he can cover the sky with one hand, he has absolute power in the Sand Village, but this kind of means of playing politics is something that Feng despises very much.

The reason is very simple.

Looking at the sky from the bottom of a well!

This world is not a world of politics, but a world of power. In front of the existence of Uchiha Madara and Hashirama, playing politics is extremely ridiculous.

Chiyo and Zorōzō are actually aware of the purpose of Rosa, but there is no way for them to stop it, because Rosa occupies the general position, using the disappearance of the Sandaime Kazekage as a reason to start a war against Konoha, they can't refute it, plus there is a deep hatred between the Sand Village and Konoha, so he has the support of the entire village.

"Elder Zorōzō, you should also go and rest."

Rosa turned his head and looked at Zorōzō who was sitting there observing the map.

Zorōzō reached out his hand and touched the map twice, then raised his head with a trace of sadness on his face: "I'm afraid I can't sleep, I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling."

"Bad feeling?"

Rosa felt strange and shook his head: "Elder Zorōzō is too tired, it's better to go and rest early, we still need Elder Zorōzō to command the subsequent battlefield layout."

"Maybe."

Zorōzō sighed and stood up, ready to leave.

But at this time, a figure rushed into the tent and knelt on one knee and reported anxiously: "Reporting to Kazekage -sama, we have lost contact with the raid team!"

The comfortable atmosphere in the field suddenly changed.

Zorōzō's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Rosa.

Rosa's expression also changed slightly. Although the raid team was not his direct subordinates and he didn't really care about them, it was impossible for him to not have any reaction when he suddenly heard this kind of news.

"When did we lose contact with them?!"

"Today at noon."

The contact ninja urgently reported: "According to the original plan, the raid team should have contacted us at noon, but there was no news. In the afternoon, the contact team took the initiative to send out a message to try to contact them, but there was no response even at night. Just now, the news we received from the summon beast is … that the contact ninja over there died!"

Zorōzō's expression turned ugly.

The bad feeling had come true.

The contact ninja had a very important position in the raid team, they were protected in the center of the team. The death of the contact ninja meant that the raid team had encountered a big problem!

"…"

Rosa's expression was also somewhat gloomy, but most of it was just an act.

The raid plan was Zorōzō's decision, and if there was a problem, Zorōzō would have to bear most of the blame, and his position would be greatly weakened. This was actually a good thing for him.

"Kazekage-sama, Elder-sama, what should we do next?"

The contact ninja asked Rosa and Zorōzō anxiously.

Zorōzō took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Don't panic, the raid team has Pakura, even if they encounter anything, they will be able to deal with it. Their current situation should be that they are separated and have lost contact … send out a scout team to investigate the situation and contact them!"

"Let's do that."

Rosa also nodded and said in a low voice.
