Red sand dust

The good news of the victory quickly spread throughout the Ninja world, and soon after, the remnants of the "Akatsuki" organization that actually controlled the Land of Rain announced their surrender to the Ninja Allied Forces.

The latter only caused some waves among the top leaders of the five great ninja villages, while the former was really a major event that shocked the ninja world.

The Ninja Alliance has broken out four times. On the surface, it is a conflict limited to ninjas. In fact, it is definitely uncontrollable. However, whether it is openly or privately, everyone has restrained and tried to reduce the conflict as much as possible. The destruction of secular society.

Only this time, it was a major crisis for the entire ninja world. It was not just limited to the ninja level. Even the nominal leader of the five major countries, the daimyo, was forced to move to avoid the war.

This is very different from Daimaru's previous life, where the swords and sword shadows were only staged in the streets at night, and the brawls in broad daylight that showed no regard for ordinary people.

The Fourth Ninja World War is no longer a question of "secondary disasters", but the sword is already on the neck.

When they heard that the mastermind behind the endless war in the ninja world had been defeated, everyone from the nobles to the traffickers were very happy.

A chaotic and disorderly society will bring huge harm to every class, and almost everyone lacks a sense of security.

But now, that kind of life at a loss is about to pass, and a relatively stable life is about to return.

One day later, while the ninja alliance was still cleaning up the mess, the Five Shadows and their capable subordinates had arrived at the Country of Grass, not far from the Country of Rain, and were discussing how to punish the remaining members of the "Akatsuki" organization and divide post-war interests. Especially the disposal of the Kingdom of Rain is a top priority.

Earlier, Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village had joined forces to divide the Rain Country's vassal, the Kawa Country, and the Rain Country's land area had been reduced by nearly half.

Fortunately, due to the large-scale projects carried out by the Sand Ninjas in the Kingdom of Wind, the rainfall in the Kingdom of Rain has decreased a lot. Unlike before, there were floods all over the place, and even the arable land area was almost zero. Apart from its important strategic location, it has almost nothing. .

Of course, the "Akatsuki" organization laid a solid foundation in Yuyin Village. Even if it declined, it still left many valuable legacies.

The most enthusiastic Tsuchikage Sandaime, Onoki, looked through the list in his hand and his face became even more ugly.

"That's all? There is nothing but barren land and disaster victims..."

Gaara responded calmly:

“Land for breeding and valuable human resources, isn’t that enough?”

A few years ago, even the wasteland of the Rain Country after the floods receded would have been a precious settlement in the eyes of the Sand Ninja.

The land is barren?

Just plant grass, fertilize, cultivate soil fertility, and slowly maintain it. As long as there is water, crops can grow. The villagers of the Country of Wind, who are used to living a hard life, must use every inch carefully.

"You Sand Ninja and Mur Village have already divided up the Kingdom of Sichuan, so of course you can talk like this..."

Gaara's mouth twitched slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, he gave up and stopped arguing with an old man who was nearly sixty years older than him.

If you win, there won't be much benefit, and you will establish an aggressive and unfavorable image out of thin air; if you lose, you will lose face, and you will suffer losses anyway.

It was obviously a benefit that the Hidden Leaf Village and Sunagakure Village jointly seized, and it had nothing to do with the Fourth Ninja War. It should not have been discussed together.

What's more, a place like Kawa Country looks lush and rich in species, but is actually covered with hills and extremely poor geological conditions. If you want to develop it successfully, you don't know how much manpower and material resources you need to invest to make money back.

So far, the Suna Ninja have only established observation points on their own territory and enclosed the land. They don't even have a plan when to develop and utilize it.

An area as large as the Kingdom of Wind is still waiting for the Suna ninjas to build it. Such a small place in a corner will not be able to enter the sight of Sunagakure Village within a few years.

The Fourth Raikage - Ai couldn't help but turn his head after hearing the little argument between Onoki and Gaara.

"According to the Tsuchikage's intention, the Rain Country should be split into two pieces each? But what good will this do to us Kumo ninjas?"

The Fourth Mizukage - Terumi Mei also lost no time in echoing:

"We, the Mist Ninjas, are not interested in getting an enclave thousands of miles away."

The Kingdom of Rain is sandwiched between the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire. The most relevant ones are Sand Ninja and Konoha Ninja. Iwa Ninja has difficulty reaching out. There are several countries separated by the Kingdom of Thunder and those far overseas The country of water is even beyond reach.

If the Kingdom of Rain is really divided, the final benefit will definitely be divided between the Suna Ninja and the Konoha Ninja. The Iwa Ninja can more or less share the benefits. As for the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja, they can really control the Rain Country from thousands of miles away. country, or pack up the refugees here and take them back?

Tsunade, who had expected it, remained calm at first, until everyone's thoughts were put on the table, then she responded:

"The foundation of the Country of Rain needs to be preserved. Let the daimyo of the five major countries discuss and choose a nearby royal family to inherit the affairs of the Country of Rain. As for the Rain Hidden Village, the status quo will be maintained for the time being, with the infamous Xiaonan acting as the village chief. The Ninja Village has opened a garrison in the Country of Rain to monitor the Rain Ninja’s movements and maintain law and order..."

"In this case...it's feasible!"

As long as Konohagakure doesn't take advantage of it, the Kumo ninja has an indifferent attitude, and the Kiri ninja and Iwa ninja have no objections. As for Gaara, he will not go against other villages on behalf of Sunagakure Village.

"Sure enough, just as Daimaru expected, when there are multiple people coveting a precious treasure, it is very likely that no one will be able to get it..."

It would be best if one's own side wins a big victory, but when no one can be the sole leader, it is difficult to reach an agreement. The worst outcome would be for other ninja villages to benefit and for oneself to gain nothing. If no one gets anything, it is acceptable. Second choice answer.

The Konoha ninjas who thought they had Konan, Jiraiya's student, were very satisfied. Gaara did almost nothing and achieved his goal naturally. Onoki, Ai and Terumi Mei looked on with cold eyes, adhering to the principle that whoever is the most greedy should ask for the most. The attitude of suppressing whom.

In the game between big forces, many times it seems that there are many choices, but in fact there is only one way.

Each force definitely wants to take advantage of it, but no one can take it. As long as they come forward, they will be unanimously opposed. Therefore, they can put aside their differences for the time being, retain Yuyin Village, and each can seize the benefits according to their own abilities.

Of course, the Sand Ninja who strikes first still has a huge advantage.

The people who Ibaraki and Yegura revealed their identities have long since "defected" and disappeared without a trace. They are on the wanted list of the underground bounty house and will probably not be traced back in the future.

Among the remaining people, from Xiaonan to the grassroots of the Rain Country, the informants arranged by Suna Ninja are everywhere, and in fact they hold the lifeblood of the Rain Country.

More importantly, when the Sand Ninjas began to vigorously build their homes in the Kingdom of Wind, there were two channels for the introduction of foreign populations, one was the maritime transportation line in the south, and the other was the land route in the north that passed through the Kingdom of Rain to the Land of Fire. China’s traditional trunk line.

After Uchiha Obito lost actual control of the "Akatsuki" organization, Daimaru had already asked Ibaraki and others to transport away the best talents in the Land of Rain.

Except for a few who slipped through the net, almost all those who stayed in the Country of Rain were burdens in a short period of time. Rebuilding order was not something that could be done overnight.

The items that might be divided up and had no choice but to be taken by the five major ninja villages had been taken away in advance, and the rest were tasteless, tasteless, and a pity to throw away, so this was the result of a compromise between all parties.

Although it had been expected, the reactions from all parties were almost the same as Daimaru had imagined, and Gaara couldn't help but sigh.

Personal will sometimes does not necessarily play a big role. Even the "Five Shadows", with the support of a large number of compatriots behind them, can't do anything about some things.

Onoki, the third generation of the Tsuchikage, casually flipped through the documents in his hand, seemed to suddenly remember something, and said:

"Konan, the female ninja, has nothing to do with the Leaf Village. Although there are not many bad deeds publicized, he is also one of the culprits that directly caused the defection of my disciple Deidara. Even, I remember the Sand Ninja also You’ve been attacked by her, right? Kazekage doesn’t have any objections?”

This intention of treating Gaara as a young and energetic child and driving a wedge between Suna Ninja and Konoha Ninja was too obvious.

Gaara, who has grown up a lot over the years, will definitely not say something inappropriate just because of these few words.

"Xiaonan has almost nothing and is alone. I really can't think of anything else I can squeeze out of her. Since it's all useless, I might as well not do it!"

Ohnoki was furious and furious.

"Who asked you if you want to settle a score with Xiaonan? I am "instructing" you to ask for compensation from the Leaf Village! 』

"I always feel a little unwilling to accept it! After a cruel ninja war, no one who won the battle paid the price..."

The mastermind behind the scenes and the main "Akatsuki" organization were almost completely wiped out. After the forbidden art of the evil earth reincarnation was lifted, the soul of the evil earth body returned to the pure land, and a large number of White Zetsu also disappeared with the contact of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

The enemy has disappeared, and the few trash fish that are left behind are too much to carry. The Country of Rain is extremely poor and cannot squeeze out any profit at all.

"For the peace and justice of the ninja world, this sacrifice is worth it!"

Tsunade said such righteous words, but she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

If Jiraiya hadn't begged to give Konan a decent end, it would undoubtedly have been much easier to deal with it.

Although the Leaf Village is the strongest in the ninja world, it doesn't have the final say in everything.

To be honest, we are all allies now. Even if we want to act arrogant, we must be reasonable and cannot act according to our temper.

"You guys are right, I'm too lazy to meddle in my own business anymore!"

The so-called talks about dividing the spoils among the victors ended hastily.

What Ohnoki really couldn't let go of was his disciple Deidara.

The genius who once had high hopes was now nowhere to be seen alive or dead.

What is certain is that Deidara must have been alive before the Fourth Ninja War, but now he is nowhere to be seen.

Therefore, Ohnoki is very suspicious that there are still people in the current five great ninja villages who secretly colluded with the remnants of the "Akatsuki" organization and kidnapped Deidara.

Everyone has done things like being happy in front of others and being ruthless behind their backs.

If the enemy has really been completely eliminated and Deidara is still alive, with his disciple's nature, it is certainly impossible that there will still be no news until now.

Unfortunately, Ohnoki couldn't really accuse other villages of being evil in a formal meeting.

No matter how much you say without evidence, it will only make you appear narrow-minded.

With Ibaraki, "Yanyanluo" and others escaping, the truth can no longer be found.

The drought situation in Iwagakure Village is still getting worse. It is not yet known when the next genius like Deidara will appear in the Land of Earth.

Earlier, after being captured, Konan was being interrogated by the allied ninja forces.

From routine investigations to memory searches, nothing is spared.

After Morino Ihiki and Yamanaka Haiichi got the preliminary evaluation report, they looked at the final conclusion with a strange look on their faces.

"Could it be that you were misled? This senior cadre of the Akatsuki organization is actually one of our own who was controlled by the Sixth Generation?"

Not only Morino Ihiki was suspicious, but even Yamanaka Kaiichi, who had deeply explored Konan's memory, couldn't believe it.

"If this is the case, the seriousness of the internal strife in the Akatsuki organization is beyond imagination. Not only is Uchiha Itachi who was arranged by the third generation, but also Konan, the chess piece of the sixth generation! Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the idea was, all of it suddenly disappeared with the two Hokages. The battle ended abruptly with death..."

It would be better to say that the two "far-sighted" village chiefs have fulfilled their mission with such a layout. If the sixth generation of Hokage Shimura Danzo had not been killed, the Fourth Ninja World War might not be so difficult. Konoha Village Profits will be greater.

"Do you want to reveal everything?"

Morino Ihiki was a little hesitant. At least until now, the two of them were still cadres of the Ninja Alliance and had to be responsible for the "Five Shadows".

Yamanaka Hai thought for a while and then shook his head:

"Stop it for now and sort out the reports that can be published. I will report to the Godaime privately later..."

"But……"

"Don't worry!"

Yamanaka Haiichi, who is older and more experienced, said,

"In the final analysis, this is just the internal affairs of our Konoha Village. It involves secrets and has little to do with this ninja war. If it is announced, it will only lead to more questions. Moreover, this is only the information obtained from Xiaonan's torture. Seeing it is the truth..."

What I said with my own lips, is it absolutely true?

Maybe Xiaonan was also a deceived tool, intending to send wrong information to the ninja alliance.

In the final analysis, everyone who knows the truth is dead, and those who may know the truth are also on the run and are missing.

Based on the information now obtained, Konoha ninjas still made a choice that was more in line with their own interests.

Daimaru, who had seen all this, withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

Some things are very difficult for Suna Ninja to promote, but if there is someone to share the responsibility, it will be much easier.

If Konan is really a chess piece of the late Shimura Danzo, then she is one of our own. As a student of Jiraiya, she should naturally be close to him. It is undoubtedly a good result for her to take charge of the Rain Country.
