Indeed, the attitude shown by the Sand Village is really intriguing.
This feeling seems to be saying that they don't care too much about their own Zhuli at all. This kind of thing came to Wood Leaf and they almost said that they don't want to save him at all!
The importance of Zhuli to a village is self-evident. In this world, they are simply equivalent to a 'nuclear deterrent'. Only a shinobi village with Zhuli can be regarded as a 'large shinobi village'!
In the negotiations three years ago, the Sand Village paid a great price to redeem Gaara, so it's really inexplicable for them to show such an attitude now.
However, if you think about it carefully, Kei Uchiha seems to be able to guess some of the situation in the Sand Village.
First of all, Konoha was too ruthless in dealing with Sand Shinobi in the past!
The economic level of the Sand Village is already very bad, coupled with various internal and external factors, it led to Luosha's decision to gamble on the 'fate of the country' and launched an attack on Wood Leaf.
And the consequences of the failure brought about by this attack can be imagined. The Sand Village almost lost all its wealth overnight. How can they not hate Wood Leaf and Luosha?
But compared to their hatred for Wood Leaf, they also hate Luosha more.
Wood Leaf didn't show its aggressiveness. All of this was because Luosha took the initiative to find trouble with Wood Leaf. Even if he was tempted, the result will not change.
As a result, the entire Sand Village had to pay for Luosha's actions. Not only that, but Luosha died very quickly, and they couldn't even retaliate.
After the negotiations with Wood Leaf were over, Luosha's children once again gained the leadership of the village with the support of some high-ranking Sand Village officials. How could they accept such a situation and change?
With the rise of Shouju, many of Sand Village's policies have begun to move closer to Wood Leaf's, especially some of the big families entrenched in the core of Sand Village.
With the accumulation of old and new grudges, it was inevitable that they would make some irrational decisions, such as their current attitude towards Gaara.
Sometimes, Kei Uchiha wondered if it was because Shoju's reform of Wood Leaf was too fast, resulting in such a bad outcome.
Take a look at Full Moon. He always planned to slowly reform the Mist Village. He wouldn't cause a lot of opposition from the village because of his rapid progress. At the same time, he would try to balance the interests of all parties. At the very least, he wouldn't let the voices of opposition dominate.
Full Moon had already spent at least eight years since he started his own reform.
Shou Ju's idea was not wrong, but her methods were obviously not good. In just three years, she had turned the village into this state.
If this continues, Kei Uchiha is worried about whether this woman will create a ninja world version of 'nationalism'.
Now, they don't even intend to save the Jinchuriki. It should be said that they don't have enough resources to save the Jinchuriki, so they had no choice but to let Shouju use a very interesting attitude to send such information to Konoha. Can it be understood that there are some signs?
"If that's the case, then it will be interesting." Kei Uchiha touched his chin and whispered softly.
"Huh? What did you say? "Kenta Imai turned his head curiously and asked in a strange tone.
"Nothing, don't worry about it." Kei Uchiha shrugged, then looked at Po Shui Mun: "Captain Shui Mun, what do you think?"
"I think that this matter is a bit strange, but I also think that it is somewhat in line with the current situation of Sand Village." Po Shui Mun touched his chin: "I think you should remember that in the intelligence we saw before, there was a statement that Sand Village is not united …"
As soon as Po Shui Mun said this, everyone present basically understood what he meant.
Everyone here is a smart person, and that intelligence was not only seen by him but also by Kei Uchiha. Most of the people present have seen some relevant intelligence, so it's impossible for them not to know the current situation of Sand Village.
Therefore, as soon as Po Shui Mun opened his mouth, the meaning is already very obvious. Sand Village is not united, and the part represented by the Kazekage is very close to Wood Leaf.
That being the case, isn't it a good thing to develop this part and let them get closer to Konoha? Isn't that a good thing?
The current situation of the Mist Village has shown that supporting Gengetsu Full Moon was very effective at that time. The Mist Village is now basically a part of Wood Leaf, not publicly known, but it can be regarded as a natural ally.
And in the current environment of the Shinobi World, there are already four of the five great shinobi villages that are close to Wood Leaf. Sand Village has always had ideas about Wood Leaf, but due to the lack of opportunities and the bad opinion of the villagers, it has been put on hold.
So now, this is a good opportunity in front of them, and they really don't intend to miss such an opportunity.
"It seems that there is nothing to continue the discussion." Kei Uchiha glanced around, then smiled slightly: "Then, I think it's time to prepare some manpower and send a team to support them."
"Indeed, it's too late, and I don't know what will happen." Po Shui Mun nodded: "Do you have any considerations? It would be better to send someone to deal with this matter. "
Although they agreed to participate in this matter, the people they send must also be cautious.
Not only can the village not attract too much attention because of the people they send, but it's best not to let Sand Village feel that they are being perfunctory. Such a balance is indeed a bit of a headache.
In the original work, Tsunade's handling of this matter can be regarded as a model.
He sent Kakashi Squad 7 to the rescue, and arranged for Guy's Squad to be responsible for coordination and support.
Squad 7 is relatively famous in Wood Leaf, after all, the captain is Kakashi, and there is also a person named Zhuli in the team – the villagers don't know about this, let alone what Zhuli represents.
They only know that the people sent are basically some Genin and Chunin, and there are only a few Jonin, it's not very grand, but it's definitely not perfunctory either.
But just because the villagers don't know about it doesn't mean that Sand Village doesn't know about it. Sending their own people named Zhuli to the rescue can be said to be extremely high standard!
In addition, Kakashi's reputation in Sand Village is not small, it can be seen that Wood Leaf attaches great importance to this task.
It can be said that Tsunade easily solved the balance needed for this task.
But now the situation is a bit more troublesome. Naruto is not an orphan that his parents can't tell him, and the existence of Squad 7 is not as important as the original work.
Kakashi's status is many times higher than in the original work. He is now the head of the Anbu, and he has never left the Anbu.
If they send Squad 7, wouldn't it be too grand?
Of course, this kind of thing is only considered by Kei Uchiha, other people probably didn't even think about choosing a rescue team from the new generation of young people, they are more inclined to choose other Jonin Squads to complete the task.
Sure enough, after Po Shui Mun's voice fell, the people who stayed here also began to recommend various teams, and the teams they chose are basically teams with enough mission experience and relatively recognized strength.
The most important point is that these teams are not particularly noteworthy, they can only be regarded as one of the ordinary and strong teams in Wood Leaf.
It's just that these teams have a common problem, that is, although they are strong enough, in Kei Uchiha's view, they are obviously not so suitable.
After all, their attitude towards Sunagakure is very mediocre, even if the candidates provided by Shikaku and the others don't have any hatred towards Sunagakure, Uchiha Kai still feels that it's better to send some people who are closer to them.
Considering the future, even if the Kazekage is not Gaara, Gaara is still Shoju's younger brother, and it is difficult to say whether Gaara will still find the opportunity to sit in this position in the future.
If you want to invest, you must handle it well, at least Kei Uchiha is still very optimistic about Gaara.
"I think, let Kakashi's Team-7 go." Just when everyone was arguing, Kei Uchiha suddenly said.
"Huh?" Uchiha Fugaku frowned and asked curiously, "Team-7 going, isn't it a bit …" Uchiha Fugaku asked curiously, "Team-7 going, isn't it a bit …"
"The current situation of Sand Village is very bad, even if the Kazekage is very close to us now, no one knows what the future will be, but we can't give up the current situation."
Kei Uchiha said calmly, he raised his hand and gestured to Uchiha Tomiyama, then continued to speak.
"Although I admit that the standard of the Team-7 is a bit high, Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata. But if you consider their ninja levels, it is still within the acceptable range.
In addition, Naruto is the son of the captain of the Watergate and the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki.
Gaara was the son of the Fourth Kazekage, Ichino's Jinchuriki. In terms of status, they matched each other quite well, and I heard that three years ago, they seemed to have had a rather interesting relationship.
To sum up, I think it is the best choice to let them go. "
When Kei Uchiha finished speaking, everyone present frowned.
What Kei Uchiha said is indeed correct, but strictly speaking, sending the Team-7 is a bit of an overreaction, the list of people in the Team-7 is the most valuable people in Wood Leaf.
Uchiha Tomiyama and Hyuga both frowned, but they didn't speak, obviously they are seriously thinking about the feasibility of this plan.
Of course, they are also waiting for Po Shui Mun to speak, after all, there are not only their children, but also Hokage's son.
"Letting them go is indeed a better choice." After a long time, Po Shui Mun finally said, "I think, Uchiha, you are planning to let them clash with Orochimaru, right?"
"That's right." Kei Uchiha nodded, "According to the feedback from my Shadow Clone, Iwamin and Kumo have already agreed to our proposal, and now that Orochimaru has made such a move, it is a signal to let the young people experience and come into contact with them in advance, there is nothing wrong with that."
The Akatsuki organization is actually full of moles, it is simply a replica of a winery, the entire Shinobi world only knows about it.
In the eyes of others, the Akatsuki organization is a group of extremely evil guys, especially after Kei Uchiha took the blame for the Akatsuki organization, coupled with some propaganda from various shinobi villages, almost the entire Shinobi world has reached a consensus.
That is, fighting against the Akatsuki organization is something that will inevitably happen in the future, as for when it will happen, no one knows, but this is definitely an established fact!
Letting the young generation participate in it and gain more experience is very necessary for them.
As for safety?
There is no need to worry about this, Orochimaru is a member of Wood Leaf, with his protection, there will be absolutely no problem.
As for that Sasori guy, although it may be a little troublesome, after all, he is not one of their own, but it is not a big problem, as long as Orochimaru and Kakashi keep an eye on him, there will be no problem.
If Orochimaru and Kakashi can't protect Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata from the hands of a guy who plays with puppets, then their reputation will be ruined!
"If you think about it from this point of view, it seems to be possible." Nara Shikaku nodded lightly, "There will be absolutely no problem with Kakashi watching over them, but isn't the seventh squad a bit too small?"
"We can add a reconnaissance squad to assist in the mission." Kenta Imai said indifferently, "I remember that there is a squad with Inuzuka, Yuru, and Uzumaki in it, there will definitely be no problem in getting them to cooperate with the mission."
"Also, we can strengthen a support squad." Hyuga Hiashi thought for a moment and quickly said, "Neji's squad is fine, their physical ability is very strong, and there is no doubt about Kai's ability, they will be a good choice."
With Kei Uchiha taking the lead, these people have already thought about it clearly, this is definitely a good opportunity to improve the vision and strength of the young people in Wood Leaf, so they don't have any good ideas to refuse.
In addition, this group of young people has not reached the level of Jonin, although they are not Genin, but Chunin is a relatively tolerable limit. Even if the villagers think that this time the reaction of Wood Leaf is a bit too much, it is not impossible to accept.
"Okay, I understand." Po Shui Mun nodded, "Then this time let the seventh squad move, Kakashi, you have worked hard."
"I understand, Hokage-sama." Kakashi nodded with a pair of dead fish eyes, he really didn't expect this mission to fall on him in the end.
"In addition, inform the eighth squad, let them wait for the seventh squad to move before following." Po Shui Mun continued, "In addition, let the Anbu cooperate with Kimimaru and Itachi.
This time, I will leave it to everyone. "
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
…
The next morning, Kakashi reluctantly stepped out of the gate of Wood Leaf with the seventh squad.
He really doesn't have much interest in saving Gaara, but even if he isn't interested, he will never refuse this mission. After all, he is a qualified ninja, and as a senior member of Wood Leaf, he knows the value of Gaara.
So even if he didn't want to run out of Wood Leaf, he still came out, but now he is not in a good mood, after all, they drank together last night.
Uchiha Kai's return to Konoha is definitely something that will make all the higher-ups of Konoha who know where he has been for the past three years very happy.
Therefore, they almost unanimously decided to wait until the evening to have a good gathering, they can also take the opportunity to understand how Kei Uchiha spent the past three years on the moon.
However, what they never expected was that they would receive an even more shocking piece of information.
As soon as the meeting ended, Kei Uchiha found Hiashi Hyuga and very clearly stated that he will visit the Hyuga Clan to discuss the engagement with Aya Hyuga.
The matter between Kei Uchiha and Aya Hyuga has been dragged on for too long, so long that even Po Shui Mun was a little surprised when he brought it up.
But after understanding Kei Uchiha's thoughts, they were particularly happy. As for whether they are happy for Aya Hyuga or Kei Uchiha, no one knows.
Kei Uchiha's visit to the Hyuga Clan this time was not difficult. Neither Hiashi Hyuga nor Aya Hyuga's mother had any intention of making things difficult for them. It only took them less than half an hour to basically determine a lot of things.
Their engagement ceremony will be held on a certain day in October this year. According to them, that day is very auspicious and suitable for this kind of thing.
What everyone doesn't know is that when Kei Uchiha heard about this date, he felt that this engagement ceremony can no longer be held. If there aren't too many accidents, maybe they can directly hold a wedding!
Of course, this is just his thought. After all, the problem of Otsutsuki Ichi has not been completely solved, who knows what will happen in the future.
After confirming these things, Kei Uchiha and his party naturally went to the best tavern in Wood Leaf to have a good get-together. He and the Hyuga Clan, almost everyone followed them.
Their gathering this time really shocked the owner of the tavern and everyone in the tavern that night. Almost all the core figures of Konoha appeared here, and anyone would be shocked if they were in their place.
However, the reputation of the top management of Wood Leaf has always been very good. Even if these ninjas and civilians were scared by them, they didn't have much of a reaction. Kei Uchiha and his party made a lot of noise until the day.
Others like Kei Uchiha are too physically strong. Even if they drank too much and didn't rest for a night, they wouldn't have a problem.
On the other hand, Po Shui Mun and the others don't need to go on a mission. A simple rest is enough for them to deal with the work they need to do the next day.
Uchiha Tomiyama and Hyuga Hiashi are more relaxed. As the patriarch, they may need to deal with the family affairs, but it's not a big deal for them to rest for a day.
But for Kakashi, it's a bit of a headache. He drank too much and didn't have much time to rest. The next day, he has to lead the team to the hidden sand village. This made him a little regretful. Why did he play so late?
"Kakashi -sensei, hurry up!" Just when Kakashi was secretly regretting, Naruto's eager voice came again: "If you are so slow, my Airo … he …"
"Well, Kakashi -sensei is also very tired, don't be so anxious." Sasuke raised his eyebrows and said: "And our speed is not slow now, it's useless for you to be anxious."
Sasuke is now living a happy life with his family. Naturally, he can't run to Orochimaru to seek power.
And even if Orochimaru has the courage, he can't really tempt Sasuke. Therefore, Sasuke has always stayed in Wood Leaf, and the people who taught him became Kakashi, his brother, and his father.
His current strength is definitely many times beyond the original work. Although Orochimaru can teach him a lot of things, Orochimaru is still not a member of the Uchiha Clan.
Even if he now has a very deep understanding of the Uchiha Clan, he doesn't have much training materials.
The people who know the most about the Uchiha Clan are the members of this clan and their former enemy, the Senju Clan. Others really don't know much about it.
And after Sasuke got the best resources of the clan and the training of the clan, his abilities in all aspects have also improved by leaps and bounds.
Especially the powerful Indra Chakra that burst out three years ago, even if a part of it was cut off by Uchiha Kai, he has recovered a lot in these three years, and he has unknowingly fused a lot of Indra Chakra.
His personal strength, except for the fact that he hasn't yet opened Kaleidoscope, can already be regarded as an elite ninja of the Uchiha Clan. Even if he fights with the Jonin of the clan, he will not be at a disadvantage, and he will even perform stronger!
It can be imagined that as long as he opens Kaleidoscope, then he can completely soar to the sky!
Naruto's situation is similar. With a good education, his strength surpasses many people of the same age.
In addition to the relationship between Po Shui Mun and the Kyuubi, his relationship with the Kyuubi is not bad, it can even be said to be very good. After three years of training, he can use the power of the Kyuubi relatively easily.
In addition to the development of Rasengan, he has also completed the learning of Sage Mode. At this moment, he is somewhat similar to the state in the original work before he got the plug-in!
But it's not without regrets, Naruto seems to be a little insensitive to the Flying Thunder God technique. He hasn't learned this technique yet, and Po Shui Mun basically gave up the idea of letting him learn it.
"Yes, Naruto." Hinata, who was walking at the back, also said: "Don't worry, our speed is not slow, and it's not good to rush too much. If we rush there, we don't have enough physical strength and experience to deal with the battle, then what is the point of helping?"
"This …" Hinata's words made Naruto pause for a moment, then he could only nod helplessly: "I understand."
Naruto is not stupid, he also understands this truth, if he really rushed there without caring about their state, then even if they arrived, it would be useless.
Sighing slightly, Naruto didn't dare to say anything more.
Seeing this scene, Hinata nodded slightly to Kakashi. Of course, she knows where Kakashi went last night, after all, her father is also not at home.
In fact, not only she knows, but Naruto and Sasuke also know, it's just that Naruto is too anxious.
Hinata shook her head, she can't understand why Naruto has such a strong obsession and affection for Gaara, they obviously fought three years ago.
But Hinata is too lazy to care about this kind of magic, she is looking forward to fighting with the Akatsuki organization.
In the past three years, Aya Hyuga has never slacked on her and Hyuga Neji, their strength has also made great progress, especially Hinata's progress is very exaggerated.
Perhaps because Hinata's Byakugan is really powerful, or because they are both women, Aya Hyuga has a slight preference for her.
After Hinata's Byakugan and Chakra reached a certain standard, Aya Hyuga also began to teach her some more terrifying abilities, that is God's Void Strike!
Aya Hyuga taught her some relatively simple moves of God's Void Strike, but even these simple moves are not so easy for Hinata to learn. Until now, she only learned one or two moves.
But even if she only learned a few of these moves, it is absolutely immeasurable!
…
After a few days of effort, the 7th Squad finally arrived at the Hidden Sand Village.
Although when they entered the Hidden Sand Village, they clearly felt that some people in the village have good intentions towards them, and some people are full of malice towards them, but Kakashi and the others don't care about these things now.
Naruto didn't care at all, Sasuke and Hinata didn't care at all, and Kakashi completely ignored those guys.
For Kakashi, so what if they are malicious?
Would they dare to attack him?
Obviously, Kakashi thinks that even if they are crazy, they won't be crazy to this extent. This is not saving the Sand Village, but pushing the Sand Village into the abyss!
The most important thing is that even if they attack him, they can't kill him. Along the way, Kakashi placed a lot of Flying Thunder God's seals.
Following the Sand Village people who received them all the way to the Medical Building, where Maki, Shoju, and several other Jonin's were there, and Kankuro was also there receiving treatment.
Kankuro was found by the Sand Ninjas. When he was found, he was lying in the desert, seriously injured, and all three of his puppets were broken.
"It seems that your situation is not very good." Kakashi looked at Kankuro's state and the crowd that was either indifferent or anxious along the way. He spread his hands indifferently and said, "Don't tell me he's the only one in your pursuit team?"
"Now is not the time to discuss this."
Shoju shook her head helplessly, she also knew that the current situation of the Sand Village is not so optimistic.
She looked at Kankuro who was lying on the hospital bed. Because he became a Kazekage, he became capable and experienced, but at the same time, he still maintained his valiant and heroic appearance.
"Kankuro is poisoned, it is very difficult to deal with, it is a poison that has never been seen before, even Chiyo -sama is helpless. Wood Leaf's confrontation with Akatsuki has lasted the longest in the Shinobi World, I don't know what you think about this? "
She was neither servile nor overbearing, this was the attitude shown by Shoju. Kakashi couldn't help but secretly nod, this girl is slightly older than Naruto and the others, her performance is quite good.
But even if she performs well, there are some problems that he will not abandon his principles. Information can be disclosed, but it can only be regarded as a little bit of disclosure, such as the situation of this mission.
"I know a little, but not much." Kakashi crossed his arms over his chest and said calmly: "Speaking of which, the guy we may be facing this time has something to do with your Sand Village."
"But for now, we only know that he has a deeper relationship with Wood Leaf, right?" Maki couldn't help but speak when he heard this, but when he was halfway through his words, he noticed Shoju's gaze.
This made him immediately choose to shut up, the Kazekage is Shoju, and talking too much at this time won't have any good results.
Maki is a very thorough ninja who finally won. His ninja accomplishment does not allow him to do anything against his background. Even if he is not very happy with Kakashi's attitude, he will not continue to speak.
Kakashi shrugged casually when he saw this, but just as he was about to say something, two old men walked in.
These two old men, a man and a woman, seem to be a little too old, but their pace is still steady, not as if they will die at any time.
Kakashi almost immediately recognized the specific identity of these two old men, one is Chiyo, and the other is her younger brother.
Chiyo's status in the Sand Village is extremely high, and she is known as a legendary puppet master!
During the Shinobi war, she led the Sand Village through difficulties several times, and her prestige at that time was even close to that of the Kazekage.
Even though she has retired for many years, she still has great influence in the Sand Village, and many of the senior members of the Sand Village are either her disciples or have received favors from her.
"You …"
Chiyo looked at Kakashi's appearance. She was stunned for a moment, then she flew into a rage and instantly made a move. She didn't seem old at all!
"Damn Wood Leaf White Fang, how dare you appear in the Sand Village, wake up!"
Kakashi had an inexplicable look on his face, but his reaction speed was incredibly fast. The moment Chiyo made her move, he had already unsheathed his katana. Even if he didn't use his Sharingan, he could predict Chiyo's attack angle.
In the past three years, his progress is not weak, even if he can't compare with Naruto and Sasuke, these two guys, he can't compare with Hinata who has the power of Six Paths.
But his own talent is not bad, coupled with his increasingly proficient Space Ninjutsu and Senjutsu after three years of polishing, his current state is absolutely terrifying!
"I say, shouldn't the old man not make a move at will?"
Everyone only saw an afterimage, but then a blue chakra accompanied by electric arcs flashed through the entire room, his figure appeared behind Chiyo, and his ninjato was placed on Chiyo's neck!
In just an instant, Chiyo didn't have any room to make a move …
