Uchiha's Blade

Mana said she wanted to leave Konoha, but of course she couldn't just find excuses for leaving like before.

After all, she is also the Hokage now. As a Kage, she has the responsibility to protect the village. On the other hand, as the strongest representative of the Fire Country, if she wants to run around, she must also consider the mood of the Fire Country's daimyo. .

Mana thought this reason was easy to find.

At present, Konoha and Suna Ninja Village are considered allies.

But it may be that Mana became the Hokage too suddenly, and she was too young. She was still in time, and no one was familiar with her. Therefore, some signs of instability emerged in Suna Ninja Village.

Mana was not surprised by this.

Konoha and the Suna Ninja Village have a plastic brotherhood, and there have been disputes between the villages. They say they have formed an alliance, but Mana doesn't believe that the Suna Ninja Village and Konoha are really as close as brothers.

Especially now that Konoha is strong and Suna Ninja is weak, and there is no strong threat from the outside world that forces the two families to unite and cooperate, it is completely normal for this alliance to have problems.

Mana himself just gave Suna Ninja Village an opportunity.

After the death of the Fourth Hokage, Konoha could not find a suitable heir. This resulted in the Third Hokage, a retired old man, having to step in and take over the role for several years. Now that the Third Hokage has retired, a little girl that no one has ever heard of has taken over. Naturally, the Sand Ninja Village looked down upon Konoha even more.

This can only show that Konoha's talent gap is very serious, and there is no better choice among young and middle-aged ninjas.

In this case, Mana felt that it was appropriate for him to pay a friendly visit to Suna Ninja Village.

There are even reasons.

As a newly Hokage, and at such a young age, wouldn't it be natural for her to visit allied villages, connect with each other, and deepen cooperation?

This is of course completely fine.

When Mana explained this to the people in the village, everyone understood it very well.

Many people even think that she probably wants to win over the Sand Ninja Village to form a more solid alliance to stabilize her position.

This also inevitably makes people think that she is still just a little girl, and she will still feel guilty when encountering this kind of thing.

No matter what these people said, Mana quickly decided on her itinerary.

But this time, except for Tsunade, she did not bring Uchiha Itachi with her.

"Itachi will stay in the village. You still need to keep an eye on the Anbu affairs. Danzo cannot just catch up with his old subordinates."

Zhenna said: "Furthermore, I have kept you by my side for so long because I hope that you who help me deal with this kind of thing every day can have a more overall perspective and not be limited to the struggles between certain factions."

Uchiha Itachi knew that this was Mana's test for him: "Yes, I understand, Mana-sama, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task!"

Because Uchiha Itachi was not brought along, other people were required to take charge of the ANBU accompanying Mana. Uchiha Itachi recommended an ANBU ninja named Yamato.

This was also one of the people on the list specially given to Mana when the Third Hokage retired.

Yamato had no name before. He was first a survivor of Orochimaru's experiments. After Orochimaru defected, he fell into the hands of Danzo and became a member of the Roots.

Later, he left his roots and joined the ANBU directly under the Hokage, and won the trust of the third generation of Hokage.

The Third Hokage not only wrote this in his recommendation to him, but also specifically mentioned that Yamato was able to use the Wood Release Ninjutsu of the First Hokage.

Because Mana didn't trust the third generation's vision of people, the candidates he recommended must go through his own personal observation and assessment before being reused. This time Uchiha Itachi specially recommended Yamato. Obviously Yamato has passed the assessment and is very popular with Uchiha. Bo Itachi was optimistic and felt that there was no problem for him to serve as the leader of the ANBU team accompanying Mana on this trip.

In addition, Mana also brought Mizuchi.

Well, if Yamato can use the Wood Release Ninjutsu of the First Hokage, then Minazukuru can use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu of the Second Hokage.

Of course, the above are only weakened versions.

Yamato may be better, even if the Wood Release cannot reach the level of Senju Hashirama, it is completely fine for daily use.

And since they are so similar, Mana doesn’t know how to describe them.

His Flying Thunder God Technique is not the Flying Thunder God Technique that Mana or the Fourth Hokage can use at will. What he uses should actually be called the Flying Thunder God Technique, which requires the cooperation of three people to transfer items.

Mana was silent for a long time when he saw this, but he could only express a sigh.

"...How disastrous is this child's science score!"

If you are so bad at science, why do you still want to learn to fly Thunder God?

Is it because the person who taught him is too courageous or is he too stubborn?

As Hokage, Mana's accompanying ANBU and bodyguards are indispensable even if she feels she doesn't need them.

In addition to ANBU like Yamato, there also need to be guard Jōnin on the surface.

Mana thought about it and chose Hatake Kakashi.

It just so happened that if I had the right time to leave the village this time, I could talk to him about Uchiha Obito.

As for Tsunade who went with Mana, although she is also very important as a consultant, the ostentation does not need to be as big as Mana. Besides, Tsunade herself is strong enough and she doesn't like to bring a group of guards. In the end, she only brought the ones she has been with all these years. Shizune, the medical ninja who was with her.

In this way, Mana's rough team was decided, and then the basic information about the personnel on Konoha's side was notified to Suna Ninja Village. This was considered a courtesy.

Just like this, it was almost a week before Mana left Konoha.

Even a fast-moving ninja would find it difficult to act quickly in this kind of diplomatic affairs.

But Tsunade laughed when she saw Suna Ninja Village's reply: "Oh, they actually agreed. I thought the old woman in Suna Ninja Village would definitely object to it."

Mana thought for a while: "You mean Chiyo from Sand Ninja Village?"

Tsunade said: "She and I had a fight during the Great Ninja War. She was very good at using poison, but I didn't lose to her."

All kinds of poisons made by Chiyo were all cracked by Tsunade with her superb medical skills.

Suna Ninja Village is a village with a harsh natural environment. It is not easy to train ninjas, and it is not like Konoha, where geniuses are harvested one after another like cutting leeks. The loss of every ninja is a heavy burden for Suna Ninja Village. After using poison as a sharp weapon, the losses to Suna Ninja Village were much greater than expected, and Chiyo hated Tsunade very much.

Of course, in addition to Tsunade and Chiyo, Hatake Kakashi and Chiyo also have a grudge.

Hatake Kakashi's father, the famous Konoha White Fang, killed the parents of Chiyo's most beloved grandson, Xia, causing Xia to lose his parents at a young age.

This double hatred was all recorded on White Fang's head. Now that White Fang is dead, Hatake Kakashi, as the son of White Fang, will naturally become the continuation of Qianyi's hatred.

There are both Tsunade and Kakashi in Mana's team. This is simply a disco on Chiyo's sensitive nerves.

To be honest, Tsunade was surprised that Suna Ninja Village didn't reject this list.

Mana smiled: "It doesn't matter what Suna Ninja Village thinks. What's important is that the current Suna Ninja are just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind have repeatedly reduced the expenditure of Suna Ninja Village in recent years. What Suna Ninja Village has to offer is Chubu is not a place with a fertile environment like Konoha. Many things must be imported from the outside, and funds have been cut, and the strength of Suna Ninja Village will naturally be affected."

Although Mana was very dissatisfied with the daimyo, at least the daimyo of the Fire Country was happy to give him money.

...Of course, this may be the reason why Konoha's performance has not been bad in previous ninja wars.

Tsunade didn't want to say anything about this, because she felt that Mana seemed to be very good at dealing with daimyo.

The ninjas in the village are just that, they will be more or less influenced by the Third Hokage. Many people from the Third Hokage family, including Tsunade, will support Mana, but the daimyo will not give this face, but Mana is able to It has to be said that it is a kind of strength to get the daimyo to agree that a little girl of her age will become Hokage.

Of course, Mana would not tell Tsunade that in fact the Daimyo was not particularly difficult to deal with. As long as he didn't use ninja tricks, the Daimyo was still easy to deal with.

As for how to deal with such nobles, Ubuyashiki Yōya had already taught her a lot, and she had always been diligent in learning such practical skills.

The group of people left the village in a decent manner, and not far away, Zana suddenly raised her hand: "Wait! I have a good proposal!"

Tsunade looked at her sideways: "What do you want to do again?"

Mana said: "Let's fly Thunder God there? This will save time, and it can also give Suna Ninja Village a surprise!"

Tsunade: "...Have you been to Suna Ninja Village?"

Flying Thunder God needs to leave a mark in advance.

Zhenna said: "I've been there before. I tried it before. The technique is still there and can be used normally."

Tsunade deeply felt that if this really happened, it would probably not be a surprise but a shock.

A shadow of a ninja village with plastic brotherhood brought the Mark of the Flying Thunder God to the front door of his house. Can the whole ninja world find a more terrifying horror story than this?

Mana didn't care, she simply took the people to fly to Thunder God.

Well, Tsunade actually didn't intend to care about her. This can also be regarded as a warning to the Sand Ninja Village.

Don't think that she doesn't know about Suna Ninja Village's recent little moves.

In this way, less than 10 minutes after Mana walked out of the gate of Konoha, she and a group of people appeared at the gate of Suna Ninja Village.

The 10 minutes also includes the time to bring everyone over and then walk slowly over together.

If calculated based on the speed at which the ninjas were traveling with all their strength, this distance would be almost negligible.

Mana said to Namashi Rai: "Look, this is the correct way to use the Flying Thunder God Technique. You can use the Flying Thunder God Technique together with other people. This in itself shows that you have learned the Flying Thunder God Technique." You are talented, but if you can’t use it on your own, then you must be too poor in science.”

As the only user of Flying Thunder God currently alive, Mana's words are not similar enough and it is difficult to refute them.

...In fact, he himself thinks it makes sense.

"Then...Hokage-sama, what should I do?"

Mana said: "Your Flying Thunder God Technique was taught by the Fourth Hokage. I can't help you with this. Each user of the Flying Thunder God Technique has his own unique set of rules, which are tailor-made for him. So you need to rely on yourself at this point, but science..."

She smiled and stuffed a scroll into her hands and said, "Take it, these are exercises I specially summarized."

This was the overwhelming pile of exercises that Senju Tobirama threw to her when she was learning the Flying Thunder God Technique. Now Mana reorganized it and gave it to Naizakuri Dodo decisively.

Just consider it a Konoha tradition.

Kakashi, on the other hand, had already gone to talk to the guards of Suna Ninja Village.

The Sand Ninja Village did hear that the Hokage of Konoha was coming to visit, but they never expected that the people from Konoha would come so quickly.

This resulted in the guarding ninjas having to report the matter and wait for their superiors to deal with it.

Probably because Mana's arrival was too sudden, she waited at the gate of Sand Ninja Village for nearly half an hour before the Fourth Kazekage came with a group of people.

Mana secretly estimated in her mind that this speed is very good. After all, besides Kazekage, there are other people to gather, and no matter whether Mana's arrival is sudden or not, the reception in Suna Ninja Village cannot be too simple and seem like They seemed to be in a hurry, which would inevitably make people think that the strength of Sand Ninja Village was nothing more than this.

From this point of view, the Fourth Kazekage did a pretty good job.

The Fourth Kazekage wore a more formal Kazekage robe and a green hat with the word "风" written on it. Mana also wore a white robe with Uchiha's characteristic dark blue underneath. The hat was the same as the previous Hokages. The red one also has the word "fire" written on it.

To be honest, Mana thinks this outfit is absolutely ugly.

She actually didn't want to complain about Senju Hashirama, after all, he was the teacher she respected, but this outfit was really ugly.

Uchiha Madara had long complained that Senju Hashirama's aesthetics were silly and vulgar. Mana still remembered the undisguised look of disgust on Uchiha Madara's face when he saw the Hokage's outfit.

Then he said in an exaggerated tone as if reciting: "As expected, these are clothes that Hashirama would like!"

Mana: "..."

Now, it's Mana's turn to go out wearing this silly and tacky outfit.

If meeting the Kazekage wasn't considered a very formal occasion, Mana would never wear this outfit in the village.

Although her aesthetic sense in clothes is not very good, at least under the guidance of Uchiha Madara, she understands that Naruto's style is rustic.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa is currently only in his thirties, which is the period when a ninja's strength is at its peak. Mana can also see the confidence in his own strength from his eyes.

It's a pity... the ninjas she has been comparing to as a standard are not the ninjas of this era.

Rasa certainly has the strength to be worthy of the Kage of a Village in this era, but after Mana saw strong men like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, facing a Kage like Rasa, she couldn't help but feel Feelings like, 'Why is it only at this level?' 'Oh, this is really too weak.'

But she kept a very polite smile on her face. This smile was so kind and heart-warming, making people fall in love with her as soon as they saw her.

Luo Sha said: "The Hokage arrived much earlier than we expected."

Zhenna smiled and said, "I'm still young, so I couldn't bear my temper and hurried on slowly, so I came here early."

Luo Sha laughed twice.

Of course, he had investigated the information about the new Hokage and knew that she was proficient in the art of Flying Thunder God. He also wanted to know why she came so quickly. He immediately decided in his heart that he would have people search the surrounding area of ​​the village inch by inch. He must kill that person. Get rid of the mark!

Because Mana arrived so quickly, many places in Suna Ninja Village were not fully prepared.

Luo Sha then smiled and said: "The Hokage has been to the Kingdom of Wind before?"

Mana nodded: "I came here many years ago. At that time, Sand Ninja Village was much smaller than it is now."

Luo Sha said: "The Suna Ninja Village has worked very hard over the years to develop from a small village to what it is today. It may not be as prosperous as Konoha, but it is also the hard work of the ninjas of the Suna Ninja Village in the past. The style is no different from Konoha. Likewise, Hokage might as well take a stroll here."

Mana didn't make it difficult for him, so she nodded and accepted the proposal: "I just wanted to see Suna Ninja Village."

Luo Sha arranged for the ninja to take her to the post house to rest.

Of course, Sand Ninja Village has a posthouse used to receive important people. The architectural style is the typical earthy color of Sand Ninja Village. The environment inside is quite good, with all kinds of facilities available and very clean.

In addition, Rasa also left two chunin from Sand Ninja Village to Mana, who were responsible for their daily needs and could also be used as guides when they went out.

Mana wouldn't be so good.

She changed out of her Hokage robe and put on the clothes common in the Land of Wind, and then put away Konoha's forehead protector. She was a pretty, cute little girl from Suna Ninja Village, except for her extremely fair and moist skin. It doesn't look like a specialty of Sand Ninja Village, and has almost no flaws in other aspects.

Mana didn't care about this little flaw.

...If there were no flaws at all, the Fourth Kazekage would not be able to think that she had gone out to do bad things.

After changing clothes, Mana walked out from the gate of the inn openly. The two chuunin in charge of Konoha's party immediately separated one of them to follow: "Hokage-sama, do you want to visit Suna Ninja Village? I can give it to you. lead the way."

Mana: "I'll just walk around by myself. You can follow me secretly. Have you learned this course? Just do it. Don't show your face. It won't be fun if you're around!"

Although she is Hokage, her beautiful and young face is indeed very deceptive. Thinking of the rumor that Hokage is not yet 13 years old, the chuunin of Suna Ninja Village suddenly understands it very well.

Besides, Mana allowed him to follow, which showed that it was not a sneaky thing, so he nodded and followed Mana secretly.

Mana doesn't care.

She let go of her perception slightly and quickly located the location of the first jinchūriki of Suna Ninja Village.

Sand Ninja Village doesn't seem to be very rich in sentient ninjas, at least compared to Konoha, they are not very good at this aspect. If Mana does it secretly, no one will find out.

She walked around the streets of Sand Ninja Village, buying some trinkets and a small toy. She also carried a small basket full of various special snacks from the Land of Wind, and then walked, I had an 'accidental encounter' with the One-Tail Jinchuuriki.

Mana knew that this method was not advanced, but it didn't matter. Since she allowed Suna Ninja to follow, she was naturally not afraid of Luo Sa finding out.

Looking at the small red-haired and blue-eyed One-Tail Jinchuuriki, Mana smiled and asked, "Why don't you play with the others?"

On a piece of sand not far away, a group of children were laughing and playing games and having a lot of fun. However, this child was just watching silently, with indescribable emotions in his blue eyes.

Like longing and disgust.

Mana was too close, which might be within the normal social distance for others, but for Gaara, it was too close. He subconsciously wanted to fight back with sand, but was stunned in the next moment.

"Sand... no reaction?"

Mana smiled slightly.

It would be damned if the sand reacted.

Of course she knew that the jinchūriki of Sand Ninja Village were protected by Sand's ninjutsu, and this didn't even require Gaara's own will to dominate.

But this power is too weak.

So weak that she could easily overpower it if she wished.

Not only the passive sand, but Shukaku's power also disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Gaara subconsciously felt that this matter must be related to the person in front of him. The focus of his green eyes really fell on Mana for the first time: "Who are you?"

Before he spoke, he thought his tone would be fierce, but when he said these words, he was like a little kitten with teeth and claws. No matter how hard he tried, it was just a bluffing sound.

This made Gaara purse his lips and didn't want to talk anymore.

But his heart couldn't help but follow the words and smiles of the person in front of him.

So gentle...the kind of gentleness that seemed to calm his body and mind, like the cool wind blowing through the sand dunes.

Mana said: "I am the Hokage of Konoha, you should have heard of me?"

Gaara did hear that the Kage from the Leaf Village was coming to the Suna Ninja Village recently, and for this reason, he was warned to calm down and not cause trouble during the meeting between the Kage from the two villages.

Gaara looked at Mana, perhaps affected by such a gentle voice, the spikes on his body seemed to be docile: "You don't look much older than me."

Mana said: "Because I am very strong, and I am dissatisfied with the current world, so I became Hokage so that I can change the things that make me dissatisfied."

Then she asked, "Why don't you go play with other people?"

Gaara said: "I don't want to play with them."

Mana sighed: "I thought that Suna Ninja Village had never experienced the death of a shadow when a tailed beast attacked the village, so it would be more tolerant of jinchūriki."

Gaara's body tensed: "You know Ichibi?"

As a Jinchuuriki, he still has this caution.

Mana said: "Of course I know. Back then, your Suna Ninja Village spent money to buy the first tail from Konoha. However, everyone felt that the nine tails were too difficult to control, so the other tailed beasts were picked away, leaving only the nine tailed beasts. No one wants the remaining Kyuubi, so we can only stay in Konoha. Our Jinchuriki of Konoha is the Kyuubi Jinchuriki."

Thinking of what she said before, Gaara was a little curious: "Don't your village also like jinchūriki?"

Since Yashamaru's death, he has rarely had such a peaceful time, but Gaara, who is only eight years old and about the same age as Sasuke, will not think much about it at all. He just feels that the person in front of him is very kind and can't help but think Just talk to the other person more.

Mana said: "Our village once sacrificed a Hokage because of the Kyuubi attack. He was a person who was very loved by the villagers, so many people transferred their disgust to the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. I don't think this is right. Well, since the jinchūriki themselves have done nothing wrong, of course they shouldn't be hated."

Gaara was stunned: "...Shouldn't we hate?"

So, then why does everyone hate him?

He has never had a close family, and his father was very indifferent to him. He once relied on his uncle Yashamaru who raised him, but was betrayed by Yashamaru. Even though Yashamaru died in the end, Gaara felt that the loser was actually Be yourself.

Because he could never forget what Yashamaru said before he died.

His birth caused his mother's death, so her mother hated him. Yashamaru loved his sister, and of course he hated the monster who killed his sister.

Mana stretched out her hand and pulled Gaara to the side.

Gaara couldn't resist her at all, the sand didn't react, Shukaku didn't react either, not to mention his body didn't actually resist much.

They found a place with few people to sit down. Mana took out some snacks from his own basket and gave them to him, and Gaara took them stupidly.

It's so strange. In the past, he must have been attacked by someone so close to him, but Mana didn't at all, as if Gaara was really just an ordinary child.

Mana has nothing to worry about.

The self-defending sand can be suppressed with the power of the king, and she carries the little flower stone with her, making it easy to do this.

As for Shukaku...hehe, as long as Shukaku has not forgotten the psychological shadow left in the Fire Country, he will definitely not show up after sensing his own aura.

Mana suspected that Shukaku was currently shivering in the seal, recalling the fear of being bullied by a young girl and beaten by the other parent.

After Gaara sat down with snacks, Mana said: "Many people fear and hate Jinchuriki, but why do Jinchuriki exist in this world? Let me tell you a story."

Gaara held the snacks and looked at her with a pair of green eyes without blinking. At this time, he nodded obediently and eagerly waited to hear the story.

"A long, long time ago, the ninja world was not what it is now. At that time, the ninja world did not have the concept of a ninja village. Everyone lived together as a family..."

Mana used a gentle and soft voice to tell the history from the family fighting to the establishment of the Ninja Village, to the first generation of Five Kage talks to distribute tailed beasts.

"The first Hokage Senju Hashirama originally hoped that after every village had a weapon as powerful as a tailed beast, everyone would not dare to start a war easily because they were wary of the destructive power of the tailed beasts. However, the first Hokage was too kind. He doesn't understand how terrifying the desires of people driven by interests can be..."

When the First Hokage was alive, there was no large-scale war in the ninja world. It was not because everyone was afraid of the power of the tailed beasts, but because they were afraid of the power of the First Hokage who could press the Nine-Tails to the ground and rub it repeatedly.

Therefore, after the death of the first Hokage, the Ninja War broke out immediately.

"Because people can't easily control the tailed beasts, the jinchuriki appear. The jinchuriki are just tools to be used, weapons of war."

Facing Gaara's light blue eyes, Mana said: "So, what people hate is not a certain person, not even a Jinchuuriki. What they hate is war and the pain caused by war. But why is this world like this?" Why are there so many wars? Whether it is the ninjas of Suna Ninja Village or the ninjas of Konoha Village, they essentially just want to protect their own villages. No one wants to participate in a cruel war and then die miserably, right?"

Gaara asked: "Then why is this happening?"

"Because even Kage has to give in sometimes. Suna Ninja Village needs to rely on the Kingdom of Wind. If the name of the Kingdom of Wind wants to start a war for his own benefit, Suna Ninja Village cannot refuse."

"And Gaara, you, whether it is your mother or your uncle, all of you are just victims of this kind of power and interest. Your mother does not hate you, if she must be hating those who harm you, If there is an existence that kills her, the person she hates should also be the 'Jinchuriki'. She was killed by the need to 'produce a Jinchuuriki', and you are just the chosen Jinchuuriki."

Why are there jinchūriki?

Because there is a war.

What is war?

War is a political means.

When political means cannot be achieved through conventional means, means such as war will be used.

The current politics is the desires and interests of daimyo and nobles.

"If we don't want to shed blood for the interests and interests of the daimyo and nobles, we will oppose them until they are eliminated."

Gaara was already confused by these profound truths, and he asked stupidly: "But if we eliminate them, won't there still be a war?"

"That's a good question," Mana said, "You raised a very good question, one that even the first Hokage couldn't figure out."

Gaara had long been deceived by her, and when he heard the First Hokage, he could only think, "That's awesome," and nod stupidly.

Mana had already told him about the family war, the establishment of the Ninja Village, and then how the daimyo and nobles of the five major countries controlled the Ninja Village, and how they continued to argue with each other for their own interests, and finally a war broke out. How political interests have a deeper impact on Shinobu Village.

Gaara had been dumbfounded by this, his little brain couldn't accommodate such complicated things.

But he did ask a good question.

A real problem that even Senju Hashirama dare not face.

Senju Hashirama was afraid of this problem and stopped. Therefore, he only went as far as the Ninja Village, but he did not dare to push his changes further, because it would inevitably lead to a more tragic family melee than before. , a complete war that affects the entire ninja world and everyone.

So in the end, he could only use such naive methods, hoping for the goodwill of others, and hoping that the method of distributing tailed beasts would achieve certain results.

Mana didn't understand this before, but she understands it now.

The other world had taught her this truth long ago.

"I don't like war. I hope to eliminate war, but war will not disappear because of weak voices. If you want to eliminate war, you can only do it through war. Only war can eliminate war. If you don't want war, you must have war. The ability to win wars.”

Therefore, when the first Hokage was alive, everyone dared to declare war on Konoha, because Konoha had the ability to eliminate all wars.

She smiled at Gaara, her smile was so gentle, so soft, like a flower blooming in an oasis: "I want to create a better world, but now each village controls the Jinchuuriki. They will never agree to my plan easily, because the daimyo won’t agree, and I can’t do such a big thing by myself, it’s too difficult.”

"Then I'll help you," Gaara said almost without thinking, "I'm on your side, I'm a Jinchuuriki, I have power."

Maybe it's because Shukaku's influence is gone, or maybe Mana's voice is too gentle, her words are too heart-warming, and the way she looks at him is too trustworthy, Gaara is indeed full of inexplicable feelings for her. Trust, as if the initial caution never existed at all.

Zhenna touched his soft red hair: "This matter is not urgent. Our current strength is not strong enough, and you can't do it either, so we need time to prepare. You don't have to be so anxious. Being too eager will only make you Hurt."

Mana didn't mind that Rasa knew that she had a good relationship with the First-Tail Jinchuuriki, but she couldn't let Gaara say those words casually.

Suna Ninja Village will not harm a one-tail jinchuriki who just has a good impression of Naruto, especially when Suna Ninja Village and Konoha still maintain an alliance, but Suna Ninja Village will never tolerate a person who is devoted to Konoha. A Jinchūriki who might even betray his own village.

But it doesn't matter...

Mana thought.

Recovering all the tailed beasts has long been on her schedule.

What she said today was certainly because she did not want Suna Ninja Village to have the opportunity to brainwash the jinchuriki, but it was also because of her sympathy for the jinchuriki.

If her words can be a ray of hope, a light for them to watch and hope in the darkness, then she will do it.

She can protect Uzumaki Naruto in Konoha Village and give him a better life, but for others...especially Jinchuriki like Gaara, the only thing she can give is this glimmer of hope. .

In this way, she can never be stingy with this little light.

In the end, Mana simply gave Gaara all the small basket in his hand: "You can take it and eat it."

Gaara held the basket and looked at her eagerly: "Are you leaving?"

Zhenna said: "I came here specifically to talk to you. After I finish speaking, I have to leave, otherwise someone will be angry - ah, he is here."

Following Mana's gaze, Gaara indeed saw the Fourth Kazekage walking over in a hurry.

The Fourth Kazekage was almost furious.

Ever since he received the report that Konoha's Hokage and the First-Tailed Jinchuuriki were having a very happy chat, he had rushed over immediately.

As a result, I saw Mana wanting to leave, but Gaara looked reluctant to leave.

...No, the one who looks soft and well-behaved is really Gaara?

Didn't it mean that this kid became extremely vicious after Yashamaru's death?

Mana didn't feel ashamed at all to attack the Jinchuuriki of other villages. She nodded to Rasa: "The Kazekage is coming for a walk too?"

Luo Sha: "..."

His eyes flickered between Mana and Gaara several times, and finally he said firmly: "Why is Naruto here?"

Mana said: "I was just casually strolling around. I heard that this kid is the jinchuriki of Suna Ninja Village, so I chatted with him. Your Jinchuriki of Suna Ninja Village is so cute."

Rasa: "Thank you very much for the Hokage's praise of our village's jinchūriki."

He emphasized the words 'our village'.

Mana burst out laughing: "Kazekage, why are you doing this? Your Shukaku is right here, and I didn't steal it."

Having said that, Rasa waved her hand, and several Sand Ninja Anbu carefully walked out from behind to take Gaara away.

Gaara looked up at Mana.

Zhenna waved to him: "Goodbye then. If you want to see me in the future, you can write to me."

Gaara nodded and then left with a small basket filled with snacks.

Rasa frowned and said: "Hokage should be a little more careful. The seal of Suna Ninja Village is not as stable as Konoha. This child's talents are also very limited. Sometimes he still can't control Shukaku to escape."

"It's okay," Mana said, "When Teacher Hashirama and Madara-sama were beating up the tailed beast, I was eating melon seeds next to them. They all remembered me and wouldn't mess around. It's true that nothing happened, Kazekage. Just don’t worry.”

Luo Sha: "..."

No, I feel even more uneasy when you say that.
