Ninja Ice House

After once again ending the conversation, the Red Sand Scorpion, who still had no results, walked away expressionlessly. At first glance, it seemed that the two parties broke up on bad terms and still had not reached an agreement.

In fact, Red Sand Scorpion has long been aware of such a result.

The two are descendants, and their understanding of each other is far beyond what ordinary people imagine.

Especially the Scorpion of Red Sand, who has long understood Chiyo's nature.

This is an old woman who is very opinionated and very stubborn. The more insistent the red sand scorpion is, the more disgusted Chiyo becomes.

It’s not that she has a bad feeling towards Gaara, nor does she really think that the Red Sand Scorpion will do anything bad, it’s just that she instinctively resists without understanding the opponent’s plans, and when the situation is about to get out of control, she takes advantage people are more inclined to maintain the status quo and wait and see what happens.

And this is exactly what the Red Sand Scorpion, or in other words, Gushan Bu Shui behind it, wants to see.

The Kazekage fifth generation's "difficult childbirth" caused huge damage to Sunagakure Village. People's hearts were scattered and it was difficult to gather forces to deal with internal and external challenges.

Given the situation in Sunagakure Village, Gaara ascended to the position of Kazekage. It is estimated that it will take at least two or three years to sort out the situation before taking over the power of village affairs.

Nowadays, with so many people making decisions, the efficiency becomes even lower.

As long as the person involved, Sunagakure Village, can't respond to external stimuli, that's enough.

On the other side, the three siblings Gaara, Temari and Kankuro, who had just returned from a large-scale development task and spent more than a month, looked helplessly at the increasingly weird situation in the village.

"Temari, do you think those people really want to support Gaara as the Fifth Kazekage?"

"Hard to say."

The words of his brother Kankuro made his sister Temari very helpless. Gaara, the person involved, still went to the ninja school very conscientiously, communicated with the young reserve Suna nin, and taught them some basic knowledge.

Temari and Kankuro were very busy when they came back. Not only did they have to hand in tasks, but they also had to calculate expenses and income, and make sure they were matched one by one.

Sunagakure Village's financial difficulties far exceed those of Konoha Village, and any unplanned expenditure must be investigated clearly.

After all, he is also a child of the Kazekage Yondaime family, how could he possibly interfere with such a trivial matter?

They are not people who are greedy for such a small amount of money. The family fortune they inherited is enough for them to live a leisurely life.

Even so, the ninjas who reviewed the mission still looked at every move of the three siblings without expression. This is like a mall security guard using chicken feathers as arrows to doubt a billionaire wearing gold and silver. It's just as ridiculous to go in and steal instant noodles.

To put it bluntly, this is to give the three sisters and brothers power and embarrass them.

As for why this is the case, everyone knows that Gaara's call for becoming a Kazekage is getting louder and louder. Especially the young Suna ninja, children who have not experienced the horrific scenes a few years ago, have a very good impression of him.

In Sunagakure Village, there were so many ninjas who disliked Gaara, and the old-fashioned old men did not die. The fourth generation of the Kazekage, Rasa, left to the children not only a legacy, but also troubles that they could not get rid of.

After the position of Kazekage has been vacant for so long, more and more big shots have the idea of ​​trying it themselves, and more people have their own ideas and want to push their favorite people to become Kazekage. Shadow, win "the merit of following the dragon", and gain benefits.

The inheritance is cut off more than once, which is quite troublesome.

During the Third Ninja War, the third generation of the Kazekage "mysteriously disappeared", which made it difficult to bridge the differences between Rasa and Hayakura, and ultimately ended with the leader of one faction being betrayed and killed.

At that time, the war in the ninja world had not yet ended, and under heavy external pressure, internal fighting would not expand at will. With Chiyo, the Dinghai Shenzhen, the situation could not get much worse, and he was lucky to survive the disaster in the end.

Will Suna Ninja have such good luck this time?

The three siblings, who have been running around on various missions, can finally take a break at the end of the year. Not only are the Suna ninjas celebrating the New Year, but the people of the Fusagi family are also mortal and need to rest.

"Kankuro, when I go to Konoha Village, Gaara will be in your care. Be careful and don't make any mistakes."

Temari explained solemnly.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

During this time, the Suna Ninja were busy making money, and the Konoha Ninjas were almost the same. In order to tide over the difficulties, they hugged each other for warmth and cooperated more frequently than before.

This time, Temari went to Konoha Village to discuss related matters.

Mainly on the Suna Ninja side, in fact, no one cares about these trivial matters. They are all busy with their own affairs. Only Temari, Kankuro and Gaara, who are from superior backgrounds, have higher status, and are very friendly to Konoha Village, seem to be a good exchange. object.

With so many troubles, in the final analysis, we still have to ask the Leaf Village for funding.

The benefits of the Gushan family are indeed many, but they are not easy to obtain. You have to pay a certain price before you can secure them.

Konoha Village is much more generous. Sunagakure Village, an ally, cannot really let him fall. No matter how difficult it is for Konoha Ninja, he must find a way to save Suna Ninja.

This time, I came to Konoha Village to "borrow" precious medicinal materials and necessary living supplies. These things are really rare in a barren land like the Kingdom of Wind.

In the southern part of the Country of Wind, close to the Country of Sichuan, there used to be a base controlled by Sunagakure Village. However, since the "Gathering of Eight Heroes", the Zahe Zhong and many wandering ninja organizations have established themselves in that place, it is no longer difficult for Sunagakure to Got involved.

Recently, they were completely driven out of that land.

Everyone has some guesses about what the local organizations of well-known and unknown powerful people are planning to do, but their awareness is not particularly deep yet.

Cutting off a source of commonly used supplies, Suna Ninja had no choice but to ask for help from Konoha Village's channels to obtain high-quality and low-priced supplies.

When Temari came to Konoha Village through the wind and snow, it was already white.

There is still some time before the end of the year, and the Ninja School still has a few days of vacation. By then, those who are going on vacation, those who are returning to their hometowns, and those who come to Konoha Village for various reasons will all leave.

Correspondingly, there will also be many vendors who want to take advantage of this new year to make a profit and will come to the temple fair in advance.

Temari, who had just arrived, encountered a small-scale New Year's celebration.

As an outsider, Temari has come to Konoha Village several times as a messenger since the "Konoha Collapse Plan", and she has different feelings every time.

This time, the matter was a little easier to handle. It was not particularly troublesome. Tsunade did not embarrass Suna Ninja, but had people prepare it and send it to Sunagakure Village.

With the current situation of Sunagakure Village, it is estimated that they can only hang up the debt and wait for the other party's situation to improve before paying back the money.

After successfully completing her mission, Temari was in a good mood, and took advantage of this atmosphere to visit the lively temple fair outside.

Konoha Village is very confident. In more than a year, it has almost recovered most of its strength, while Sunagakure Village is still struggling to survive in the quagmire, not knowing when it will be able to make a comeback.

When the young girl walked on the street and looked at the dazzling array of store products on both sides, she couldn't help but be dazzled.

At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the opposite side. A girl two or three years younger than herself, but slightly taller than herself, walked over with three seven or eight-year-old girls.

Temari has never forgotten that bright red color like flames. It was she who, during the "Konoha Collapse Plan" more than a year ago, suppressed Gaara who turned into a tailed beast and Rasa's dirty earth body. , even if it only has the upper hand for a moment, it is very big.

"Scented phosphorus?"

"Eh? What is your... name?"

"Temari, Temari, after all, we are also competitors on the same stage. My presence is so low. Isn't it worthy of you to remember my name?"

"Just kidding, I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems that you have lost a lot of weight and your weight loss effect is good."

"You did it on purpose, right? I've never been fat, and I've never lost weight."

"That... I misunderstood. I'm sorry..."

He said it, but there was no apology at all on his face, and his attitude remained the same.

"Last time I was in Sand Hidden Village, I saw a lot of novel things, especially the very unique...sand bath, which was really nice. Unfortunately, Konoha Village does not have such a service now."

"It's not a good thing. In fact...even in the Kingdom of Wind, only a few people like that kind of stuff."

"Yeah, I think it's okay."

Xiang Phosphorus smiled slightly,

"By the way, I forgot to introduce you. This is my sister, a second-year student. She will be a third-year student next year."

"Oh? I've heard that the little princess from Gushan is also an incredible genius..."

Kojing and Koji's presence is relatively thin, but those are compared with the arrogant and outgoing Kohigi, who is now very curiously looking at the blond sand ninja whom he has met once.

"My hair color is pretty good, just worse than mine, my sister's, and my mother's."

"You can't be rude."

Xiang Ling pressed the head of the rebellious second sister and said helplessly,

"Children who enter the rebellious stage early, please be more patient..."

"Well, they are all cute children."

Temari said insincerely.

I won't mention Gaara, it was around this age that Kankuro stopped clinging to his sister Temari, became addicted to puppets, and became withdrawn.

"Are you...having a date with someone, or are you just hanging out alone?"

"In Konoha Village, I have no close friends who can accompany me. Now that the matter is done, I will take the time to see the prosperity of Konoha Village..."

"Then I won't bother you."

Just as he was about to leave, he seemed to remember something, Xiang Liao turned around and asked,

"There is a food city over there that is holding a 'Big Eater' public event. The tenth anniversary celebration is very lively. Do you want to go and have a look? You can participate and eat a lot of delicious food."

"Yeah, I'm very interested, so I'll go take a look."

Xiao Hiiragi on the side shouted enthusiastically:

"I'm going to participate too. I lost to Hinata-sama last year. I won't lose this time. Blonde-sister, are you also a competitor?"

"Maybe! Is there any reward for winning?"

"Limited souvenir, one-year discount coupon."

"That's really generous."

On the other side, Mitarashi Anko, who had changed out of her ninja vest and put on her regular clothes, called Yuhi Kurenai, Uzuki Yugao, and Shizune, who was on a rare day off, to have a drink together at a luxury restaurant.

Shizune, who was obviously full of complaints, looked at her three companions with slightly red cheeks and complained dissatisfiedly:

"Tsunade-sama, I am really too lazy. I will sneak out to drink if I am not careful. A lot of work is on my shoulders. Look, my original round face has become a pointed chin. It's painful... "

The relatively cool Uzuki Xiyan did not answer the call. Her ANBU identity was not a secret among her friends, but her codename could not be disclosed casually. Everyone would avoid this topic in broad daylight.

Yuhi Hong looked at the bright red figure flashing past on the street, and paused for a moment while the porcelain wine bottle kept dangling in her hand.

The sensitive Mitarashi Anko immediately noticed it, and she leaned over and asked:

"See what?"

"My student is shopping with his sister."

"It's fragrant phosphorus..."

Mitarashi Anko suddenly became interested.

"Some people say that if that student of yours really lets go and fights to the death, he might be stronger than many jounin. Is that true?"

"Now her combat power far exceeds that of a chuunin, and she has entered the threshold of a jounin. If the fifth generation is willing, she can be given promotion tasks now. Many biased special jonins are already qualified, and orthodox jounin Well……"

Yuhi Hong shook her head slightly,

"That's not just determined by strength. Moreover, I don't think she is very obsessed with promotion."

"As a princess of the Kosugi family, there is no need to be obsessed with jounin..."

Mitarashi Anko drank the remaining wine in the cup in one gulp.

"Children today are becoming more and more scary. Back then, when we were in the same age group, there was a Hatake Kakashi. It was already an exaggeration. Many years later, only Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi could be compared. Geniuses. Nowadays, there seem to be more such children, and they are even more terrifying."

As if remembering something, Mitarashi Anko said mysteriously:

"You have also heard about the mysterious 'Eight Masters', right? They are all S-class rebellious ninjas who are so powerful that it makes people go numb, they are real 'monsters', and Uchiha Sasuke can be compared with them, which is simply amazing. unbelievable."

At the beginning, Karin was a super genius who surpassed Uchiha Sasuke and graduated as the chief student. Doesn't that mean that she is just as strong, or even more powerful?

"Not only that, but there is also Bai. His team leader Baiyun Yeshan has a very high opinion of him. He even said privately that in two or three years, he may not be sure that he can beat him. That is someone who once and Fighting side by side with the fourth generation 'Golden Flash', the super elite who came out of the 'meat grinder' of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge actually spoke so highly of him."

Speaking of these, Mitarashi Anko felt a little unreal.

"And that Kimimaro, his cold eyes glanced over, making people feel uncomfortable. Gushan Bu Shui, where did you find these 'little monsters'?"

Uoyuki Xiyan coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, and then expressed her judgment with the keen intuition of an ANBU:

"So many geniuses are completely devoted to Gu Shan Bu Shui. Does that mean he is more powerful? Otherwise, he would not be able to give birth to a daughter who is more talented than the other."
