There were many people at the ceremony.

Hidden villages in various countries basically sent people to congratulate him.Although Sunagakure has suffered successive setbacks in recent years and its strength has declined, it is still one of the five hidden villages. Compared with those small hidden villages, it is still unknown how strong it is.These small hidden villages will not deny face.

The seating arrangement of each hidden village is also particular. The four Nejis sit in the front row. In the same row with them are the representatives of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure.

After that, there are representatives from Xiaoyin Village such as Amegakure, Kusagakure, and Toriyakaku.

"There are so many people coming..."

Ino looked behind her. Originally, she didn't really want to come, but after arriving at Sunagakure, she felt it was pretty good.

She has never been to Sunagakure. A country like this in the desert is naturally very different from Konoha in the plains. The customs, architecture and geography are very novel.

Dingci is not interested in these, he only cares about delicious food.

"Neji, let's go find some local food after this is over?"

"Hey, Choji, do you still want to eat at this time?" Shikamaru was speechless.

Choji nodded seriously, defending the dignity of a foodie.

Neji asked Shikamaru: "Is there anything you want to do?"

"Me? I just want to go back to Konoha quickly. It's so troublesome outside..."

It's an expected answer.

The few people stopped chatting, Gaara had already arrived at the scene.

The fifth generation Kazekage Maki solemnly handed over his shadow hat and shadow robe to Gaara.

"Oh!!!"

The villagers of Sunagakure present burst into cheers.

The cheers were not because Ma Ji was incompetent. In fact, Ma Ji had been quite satisfactory in the past two years, with no achievements or faults. This led to the villagers not being impressed enough by him.

Therefore, this cheer is mainly based on the expectation that Gaara will bring new and progressive changes.

People will always remember rulers who made some pioneering achievements, and even those notorious tyrants.Moderate rulers, on the other hand, will mostly be forgotten.

Putting on the shadow robe and the shadow hat, Gaara officially became the sixth generation Kazekage.

Next came an "inauguration speech". After Gaara finished speaking, there was naturally another burst of cheers, and other representatives from the Hidden Village also applauded.

After the ceremony, it was time for Choji's favorite part of the meal.

The representatives gathered in the hall prepared by Sunagakure. There were ten long tables filled with food and they could be taken and eaten by themselves, like a buffet.

Without saying a word, Choji turned on the gluttonous mode and began to feast.

Although Ino and Shikamaru were not very greedy, they had exhausted a lot of energy after traveling from Konoha to here, and they were indeed hungry, so they ate with Choji.

Neji's physical strength was extraordinary, he wasn't very hungry, he didn't eat anything, he just drank some water.

"What, is Sunagakure's food not to your liking?"

Neji turned around and Gaara stood behind him with his arms folded.

"will not."

"long time no see."

"Um……"

Neji was really not used to Gaara talking like this.

The last time we met, he was still a violent and cold boy, but this time he is a warm man. Who can get used to this?

"What? It's you who comes from Konoha."

Temari also came over at some point, and her attitude towards Neji was still so unfriendly.

Neji smiled and said, "Why, seeing me reminds you of psychological shadow?"

"...What kind of psychological shadow!" Temari was so angry that she almost threw out her big fan, "Humph, I have been different in the past two years. If you don't believe me, let's discuss it later!"

"Forget it, I don't want to shatter the self-confidence you finally regained."

"what!!!"

"Okay Temari." Gaara stopped her and continued.

Temari had a sullen face. In the past, she didn't dare to disobey what Gaara said. Now that Gaara has become the Kazekage, she has no choice but to obey.

"Do you have time? I want to talk to you."

"With me, or with Konoha representatives?"

"Um...Konoha representative."

Neji nodded, it probably meant business.

The two went out to the venue. By this time, the crowd had dispersed and it was very quiet.

Neji asked: "Why, is there something you want me to bring to Hokage-sama?"

When it comes to business matters, a Kazekage and a special Jonin are not equal, and Neji can't agree to anything. He can only serve as a communication channel between Gaara and Tsunade.

Gaara said: "I want to further deepen the alliance between Sunagakure and Konoha."

"Oh?"

Sunagakure and Konoha are now allies. However, after the Orochimaru Rebellion, villagers on both sides no longer take this alliance seriously.

After something happens once, its credibility will be greatly reduced.

For example, if you cheat on someone once, there will be countless times.

For example, if you tear up a covenant, if you tear it up once, you can tear it up twice or three times.

Gaara seems to be aware of this problem and wants to change it.

"Not only for us Sunagakure, I think it is also a good thing for Konoha." Gaara said, "As far as I know, Kirigakure and Iwagakure are now in conflict with you Konoha. And Kumogakure , I have always coveted you Konoha."

Gaara said this kind of thing so seriously, Neji was really a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, he adjusted quickly enough and got into the mood quickly.

"Then what is your further deepening method?"

"Business, military, infrastructure...our two hidden villages are fully cooperating." Without thinking, Gaara said what he had imagined for a long time. "It's even possible to open the borders to each other. Of course, that may need to be discussed a few more times."

"Um……"

Neji thought to himself, Gaara is trying to bind Sunagakure and Konoha together.

The young man is still very discerning.

Sunagakure is now among the five great hidden villages, and his overall strength is estimated to be the last.In this situation, it will take too long to rise again by yourself.Then, if we can embrace Konoha's thigh and get help, the situation will be greatly improved.

And for Konoha, a truly trustworthy ally is also very important.

As Gaara said, neither Kirigakure nor Iwagakure are very friendly to Konoha now.If these two hidden villages formed an alliance to deal with Konoha, Konoha would also be very uncomfortable.

There is a loyal ally Sunagakure beside Iwagakure, which can at least play a certain role in containing him.

If Iwagakure really dares to send out a large army to attack Konoha, then in the next second he will be stolen by Sunagakure and completely defeated.

Gaara probably saw this in mind before proposing this in-depth alliance proposal.

"Ningji, I hope you will mention this matter to Hokage-sama when you return to the village. I will also write a letter specifically in the future."

"Okay, I will mention it. However, Gaara, you should know very well that you have betrayed the covenant last time. You yourself have experienced it."

"Yes."

Gaara sincerely admitted that he did not blame Orochimaru entirely.

It's true that Orochimaru murdered the Kazekage and faked the order, but if the Kazekage hadn't stopped thinking, this wouldn't have happened.

"Then, if Konoha wants to trust you again, you must be sincere."

"I see."

Although both parties have their own needs, there is no doubt that Sunagakure is more dependent on Konoha.In this way, if Sunagakure doesn't pay some price, Konoha will definitely not agree easily.

"In this case, I will talk to Mr. Hokage properly when I go back."

Seeing that Gaara was very wise, Neji also felt that there was a way to do this.

With Tsunade's character, as long as Sunagakure is sincere enough, she should agree to this.

only……

Neji looked at Gaara and suddenly remembered that he was the first target of the Akatsuki organization.

One-tailed Shukaku was inside him.

In the original work, almost three years after the Chunin Exams, the Akatsuki organization officially started taking action.

Now, two years have passed.Neji felt that because of him, the Akatsuki organization's plan would definitely change, and maybe the plan to capture the tailed beast would be advanced.

That would put Gaara in danger.

"You...be careful these days."

"what?"

"There is an organization that sent people to Konoha to capture the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

When Gaara heard this, his pupils shrank slightly.

"If their target is the tailed beast, then you will also be on the capture list."

"...I understand, thank you for reminding me."

Gaara nodded deeply, and Shukaku, who was sleeping inside him, seemed to be awakened by these words.

"Gaara! You must not let me be captured!!"

"..."

Gaara rubbed his eyebrows and apologized to Neji: "Sorry, I'll leave first."

"it is good."

Neji saw him leaving and returned to the venue.

Shikamaru was looking for him. When he saw him coming back, he quickly asked: "Neji, it's almost time for us to go back, right?"

"Why are you in a hurry? I want to buy some specialties to take home as gifts."

"..."

"You guys should buy some too, it's a rare trip to Sunagakure."

Neji said seriously, he really wanted to buy some Sunagakure specialties, such as some clay sculptures, rose stone crystals, which are specialties of the desert, and take them back to give to Tenten Hanabi.

"Then let's buy some too." Ino became more energetic after hearing about shopping, "Shikamaru, stop looking so bitter. Really, no wonder no woman likes you."

"What? It's a good thing that no woman likes you. It saves you so much trouble!"
