Volume 1 Chapter 205 The Third Generation Kazekage is desperate

"No need to ask."

The Third Raikage couldn't bring himself to say such a shameful thing.

Anyway, apart from himself, only Yaoi knew how the wound was left.

The Third Raikage was not going to tell anyone.

After all, this kind of thing is not glorious.

If word got out that he was injured by his own attack, his old rival Ōnoki would probably laugh his ass off.

“........”

Why can't I ask?

Is there something you can't hide?

The Cloud Ninja Village faced the largest spy purge since its founding, causing chaos throughout the village.

Through various investigations, spies planted from other villages were uncovered one after another.

In Naruto, in this world where even a corpse cannot hide a secret, as long as you investigate carefully and step by step, even the most deeply hidden spy can be found.

The news of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki's rampage in the Cloud Village spread quickly like the wind.

Since they couldn't keep it secret anymore, the Cloud Ninja Village simply stopped hiding.

For them, the most important thing at the moment is to repair the buildings destroyed by the Eight-Tails and compensate those foreign merchants.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will have a significant impact on the future business of the Cloud Village.

The news of the Eight-Tails' rampage in the Cloud Village spread to the five major ninja villages through various channels.

At this time, Chizuki and Orochimaru had just left the territory of the Land of Lightning.

When the news reached the Iwagakure, Ōnoki was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

“Hahahaha!! Great!! Ouch, my waist…”

Because he laughed too wildly, Oonoki sprained his waist.

He covered his old waist and slumped over the desk in an ungraceful manner, scaring everyone in the Tsuchikage's office.

"Orochimaru really did not disappoint me."

With a gratified smile on his face, the Third Hokage put away the intelligence scroll, raised his head and looked towards the direction of the Land of Lightning, with a look of gloating, as if saying:

Is this the day that your Cloud Ninja Village has come to?

On the other side is the country of rivers.

After putting away the intelligence scroll and handing it to Chiyo, the Third Kazekage asked in confusion:

"You think this was the work of the Iwagakure?"

There were constant frictions between the Iwagakure and the Kumogakure, and Ōnoki and the Third Raikage also disliked each other.

If the two villages had not been worried about the huge losses, they would have started fighting long ago.

When this happened in the Cloud Village, the Third Kazekage's first reaction was that Ōnoki sent someone to do it!

"It is very likely that the Kumogakure Village has already carried out a major purge, and even some of the spies planted by our village have been caught."

Ebizo's heart was bleeding. It was difficult to train a qualified spy, and it was even more difficult to place him in other villages.

Now, because of the investigation into the Eight-Tails rampage incident, all of them were wiped out.

All the training, hard work, and initial investment were ruined.

Chiyo slowly put down the teacup in his hand, thought for a moment, and said:

"Except for the Iwagakure, no one will easily provoke the Kumogakure. The Iwagakure is very likely to take action. I suggest that the village should send someone to keep an eye on the Jinchuriki."

It's all good to eat melons and enjoy the fun, but the worst thing is that the melons may get eaten by yourself.

The Eight-Tails' rampage was a wake-up call for Chiyo.

We have to take good care of the village's Jinchūriki, otherwise if they are attacked by the enemy, it will be a big trouble.

Although the Third Kazekage could easily suppress the One-Tail Shukaku, the Sand Village could not withstand Shukaku's destruction because it was too poor.

If Shukaku were allowed to wreak havoc, it would cost them their lives.

It has made the already poor village finances even worse.

"What Chiyo said makes sense. I'll send someone to keep a close eye on Bonfuku."

There is still a war going on at the front, and it is no joke to have the old nest on fire. The Third Kazekage feels that it must be kept under close watch.

After finishing the topic of the Eight-Tails' rampage, the Third Kazekage looked at the map and his brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (川).

The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for the Sand Village.

Konoha is determined to fight them. The finances and resources of the Sand Village are almost running out. If they continue like this, it won't be long before the Sand Village will be defeated without Konoha launching a large-scale attack.

"Chiyo."

Chiyo shook her head slightly.

The Third Kazekage clenched his fists: "Is there no other way?"

"If we continue to drag on, the village will inevitably be defeated in the Kingdom of Rivers and have to retreat back to the Kingdom of Winds. This is not the result we want when we start a war."

The Third Kazekage was unwilling to accept this.

Chiyo is the same, but what can she do?

The village is extremely poor and has a lot of debts. Now it has no money and no food.

War is fought with one's own strength. Konoha can withstand it, but the Sand Village cannot.

After looking at his sister who was shaking her head in silence, and then looking at the Third Kazekage whose face was filled with disappointment, Ebizo was silent for a while.

Finally, he looked up and pointed to a circle on the map of River Country that had no name marked on it.

Looking at the place where her brother pointed, Chiyo's pupils shrank and she stood up in surprise:

"No, doing so will bring a lot of negative impact to the village and will be detrimental to its development."

“If we lose the war, there really won’t be any room for the village to develop.”

The Third Kazekage retorted.

Ebizo has a very vicious mind. My Sand Village has no money and no food, so I just need to attack River Country.

Although the Kingdom of River is a small country sandwiched between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind, the national order is chaotic, which has attracted many wandering ninjas and bandits to gather here and do some shady things.

Even so, you have to admit that the officials in Kawanokuni are very rich.

The Third Kazekage was moved, and Chiyo was a little anxious:

"Master Fengying, if we take action against these people, the subsequent impact will be great."

No matter how chaotic it is, River Country is still a country. If you attack an official of a country, and the news gets out, the reputation of the Sand Village will be ruined, and the daimyo may have a hard time explaining it.

The daimyos of various countries have certain kinship relationships with each other, and their blood ties are quite complicated.

If you kill one person, the other person might be a relative of the daimyo of the Wind Country or the Fire Country.

If this really happens, the Sand Village will be criticized to a certain extent.

From a long-term perspective, this is extremely detrimental to the development of the Sand Village.

If they dare to take action against an official of a country, who would dare to come to your Sand Village to do business and give you a commission?

What if you, the Sand Ninja Village, rob us and kill us?

The economy has always been a weak link in the Sand Village. If it continues to go through such a turmoil, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult to develop in the future.

Therefore, Chiyo disagreed with taking action against the officials of Kawanokuni.

At the same time, he glared at his younger brother Ebizo and said, "Why are you giving me such bad ideas?"

Faced with his sister's threatening look, Ebizo could only lower his head and smile bitterly.

He also knew that doing so was not a good idea, as it would make the Sand Village a thorn in the eyes of officials and daimyos from various countries.

But does the Sand Village still have any choice?

"Don't say any more. I have made up my mind. If you don't want to, Chiyo, just go back to the village to look after the Jinchuriki. I will take care of this matter."

After finally seeing a glimmer of hope, the Third Kazekage no longer cared about the impact and consequences of this matter.

He just wanted to win the war, otherwise the Sand Village would be completely defeated, and the huge war reparations would be enough to make them suffer, and by then he, the Third Kazekage, would not be able to make up for it even if he mined for ten years.

"I hope Master Kazekage won't regret it."

After taking a cold look at the Third Kazekage who was desperate for the war, Chiyo turned and left. She felt that she could return to the village to retire.

Just in time to accompany the grandson who lost his parents.

"Ebizo!"

"Master Kazekage......"

"After you do this, I will allow you to retire and retire to the background! But you must do this for me!"

Ebizo is also unwilling to do such a thing that will ruin his reputation, but will the Third Kazekage give him a chance to choose?

Just because he can't do anything to Chiyo doesn't mean he doesn't dare to touch Ebizo.

After all, Ebizo is the head of the Intelligence Department. If anyone really wants to cause trouble for him, any excuse will be enough to get him in trouble.

"yes......."

Ebizo was forced to agree.
