Although Konoha's visit to Sunagakure Village this time to pray for union with Sunagakure was a secret operation.

But this kind of secret visit is only a secret for other countries.

With Kakashi as the Minister of ANBU, he can know many of Konoha's decisions immediately.

Even if Kakashi does not know the decision of the Third Hokage, as long as the intelligence is mobilized intact, the intelligence department of the Kingdom of Demons can conduct a rigorous analysis and deduce what Konoha's next move may be.

Even though he was not in Konoha, he seemed to be directly involved in high-level meetings in Konoha.

"The result of this matter has not been found out yet. But..."

"But what?"

"A big event happened in Sunagakure Village last night. One Shukaku suddenly went berserk, causing many buildings in Sunagakure Village to be damaged. However, due to timely precautions, no personnel losses occurred."

Shiraishi frowned, and Shukaku ran away?

"Is the news reliable?"

"The liaison personnel stationed in Sunagakure Village explained it this way. Moreover, when Shukaku went berserk, he made a lot of noise. Many ninjas and civilians saw it with their own eyes. I believe this incident is not false."

The Jonin from the Kingdom of Demons replied.

"I know, let's go down."

Shiraishi waved his hand.

"yes."

The Jonin of the Kingdom of Demons respectfully stepped back.

After the Jōnin from the Kingdom of Demons retreated, Shiraishi revealed his thoughts.

When Ichibi Shukaku went berserk, was there some new problem within Sunagakure? Or... was it just an accident?

The previous One-Tailed Jinchuuriki passed away, and the current One-Tailed Jinchuuriki is the youngest son of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, a child named Gaara.

In fact, this is not a particularly confidential matter among Sunagakure.

Even if you don't know it at first, you can tell from the villagers' various discrimination and indifference towards Gaara, as well as sensitive curse words such as 'monster'.

Sometimes Shiraishi really doesn't know what the senior officials of the Ninja Village think.

Although they longed for the power of the tailed beasts, they also adopted this laissez-faire policy, which made the villagers collectively hostile to the jinchuriki and isolated them. They also gave the reason of preventing the tailed beasts from causing chaos.

A Jinchuuriki whose character is so distorted is more likely to cause disasters, and may even take extreme actions to retaliate against his own people.

This can also easily reveal the identity of the Jinchuuriki. It will not achieve the effect of protecting the Jinchuuriki as mentioned by the senior officials of the Ninja Village. Instead, it will expose the Jinchuuriki to the enemy's sight and be targeted by people with malicious intentions. There is a possibility of being targeted by others.

possibility of abduction.

Shiraishi only sighed with emotion about these things and didn't think much about them.

The more bizarre and stupid the Ninja Village's actions are, the more beneficial it will be to the Kingdom of Demons.

What we need to pay attention to right now should be the alliance between Konoha and Sunagakure.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, if Sunagakure really plans to intervene at this time, it will indeed distract the attention of the Demon Country.

Even if troops are sent to the border to show deterrence, it can have the desired effect.

Shiraishi didn't dare to bet that Sunagakure would not attack the country of ghosts.

Even if revenge is necessary, it will only happen later and will cause heavy losses to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"Sunagakure Village...sigh..."

Compared to Konoha, the Oni Country does not have many spies placed inside Sunagakure Village, and most of them are low-level people, not the middle and upper-level people of the village, and cannot detect the highly confidential information of Sunagakure Village.

As a result, it becomes extremely difficult to find out the intentions of the senior management of Sunagakure.

Therefore, if you want to know whether Sunagakure and Konoha intend to unite or refuse to cooperate, you need to start with Konoha.

However, Konoha, which has already suffered a loss, probably will not let the Kingdom of Demons easily obtain this information.

"Luosha."

In the hospital ward, two former Sunagakure consultants, Chiyo and Ebizo, came together.

Gaara was lying on the hospital bed in a daze, and the nurse was giving him an infusion to help his body recover as soon as possible.

Luo Sha also stood aside, watching all this quietly.

It wasn't until Chiyowa's voice sounded that Luo Sha slowly turned around.

"How's Gaara doing?"

Chiyo had no intention of making small talk and asked directly.

Knowing Chiyo's resolute character, Luo Sha didn't mind and said truthfully: "The seal has been stabilized, but it still takes a week to recover physically and mentally."

As he spoke, he tilted his head and glanced at the nurse.

The nurse understood what Luo Sha meant and quickly walked out of the ward to make room.

After seeing the nurse leave, Chiyo continued: "This time Shukaku went berserk, and as the Kazekage, you must bear full responsibility."

Guarding Gaara, the Jinchuuriki, was Rasa's job as the Kazekage.

This time Shukaku caused chaos in Sunagakure Village because of Rasa's lack of supervision.

Although it did not cause any serious casualties, it also caused great panic to the villagers.

Luo Sha fell silent, looked at Chiyo calmly, nodded and said, "I know. I'm sorry for making you worry about me for so long. I will take on the title of Kazekage again in the future."

Chiyo took a deep look at Luo Sha. She didn't know how Luo Sha got over the hurdle in her heart, but Luo Sha was able to face her failure calmly, which can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes.

It seems that Shukaku's rampage did not necessarily bring negative consequences.

She is not afraid of Luo Sha making mistakes, but she is afraid that Luo Sha will go her own way without repentance, like a stubborn cow that won't let go. That will bring disasters more terrible to Sunagakure than failure.

After all, changing the Kazekage candidate at this time will bring many unfavorable situations to Sunagakure, such as the transfer of power. An operational error will cause internal fighting and bloodshed. This will make Sunagakure, who is already weak, become

Weakened even more and fell into horrific internal strife.

"I don't know what you thought in the past, but as a ninja, defeat is not shameful. Even the ninja god Senju Hashirama did not encounter setbacks. You are the Kazekage, and you are better than everyone in the village.

Everyone must be strong in the face of failure. Don't pay attention to some rumors in the village. As long as you make up for your mistakes later and work hard for the village, they will not shake your position as Feng Ying."

Chiyo warned solemnly.

Since the establishment of the shinobi village system, the position of the shadow has been extremely important.

Moreover, there are many examples of such battles over the position of shadow.

Not to mention, the coup that occurred in Kirigakure Village in recent years is a living example.

In order to seize the position of the Fourth Mizukage, Goju Yagura did not hesitate to launch a coup, causing thousands of Kirigakure ninjas to die in the civil strife.

Although he succeeded in seizing the position of Mizukage, Kirigakure himself suffered heavy losses.

If the same bloodshed happened in Sunagakure, Chiyo could not imagine what the future of Sunagakure Village would be like.

Chiyo doesn't want this kind of thing to happen to her village, where enemies are happy and relatives are in pain.

"yes."

Luo Sha nodded solemnly.

"As for Chiba Shiraishi, this person is very good at taking advantage of people's hearts. You have to be extra careful when you confront him in the future. Don't deal with him alone. Only by cooperating with other villages can you restrain him."

The situation is stronger than that of humans, and now the overall strength of the Kingdom of Wind is weaker than that of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

If you want to suppress the development momentum of the Kingdom of Ghosts, you must unite with other countries and fight alone. The Kingdom of Wind is not the opponent of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

No matter from a military or economic perspective, the Kingdom of Wind is inferior to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

As for the political aspect, that is something that the daimyo of the Land of Wind should consider, not the work of Sunagakure Village.

Luo Sha's face was slightly unnatural. Although he finally got over the shadow of the failure, he still felt a little uncomfortable when Chiyo suddenly mentioned this name. In the end, he reluctantly nodded, saying that he would be careful of the other party's calculations.

With the current situation of the Kingdom of Wind, it is indeed impossible to deal with the Kingdom of Ghosts alone.

It seems that cooperation with the Country of Fire cannot be discussed on paper, but should be put into practical actions as soon as possible.

The current severe international situation does not allow the Kingdom of Wind to swing back and forth like the Kingdom of Earth.

Moreover, from a standpoint, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Ghosts are incompatible with each other.

After talking about these, Chiyo turned his attention to Gaara on the hospital bed.

The other party is still in a coma, but his breathing is relatively steady and his life is not in danger.

But there are still traces of Shukaku's chakra on his body, which have not been completely removed.

"In addition, there is one more thing. Gaara's current mood is unstable, which has caused the seal to become loose. For the sake of the safety of the village, Shukaku will not be allowed to come out to cause trouble, and we will leave it to our siblings to personally supervise it."

Chiyo said this.

Ebizo stood aside without saying a word, silently supporting his sister Chiyo's decision.

Although the two of them have lived in seclusion, they still need to take charge of the overall situation when the safety of Sunagakure Village is involved.
