Ninja Ice House

No one is more familiar with the situation of Sunagakure Village than Elder Chiyo.

The elites suffered heavy casualties, and the lack of support was only a symptom. The people's hearts were scattered, which was truly worrying.

The entire Sunagakure Village was unable to choose a convincing Kazekage Fifth Daime, not because of how powerful the foreign enemies were, but because they themselves had lost confidence.

The side effect of the consecutive defeats was not only that he became a vassal, but what was even worse was that the spirit of being a strong man before was almost lost.

The side effects of not having a backbone for a long time are emerging, and they are gradually fermenting, becoming more and more troublesome.

To this day, Elder Chiyo is still regretting that he should not have made the selection of Kazekage's successor "difficult" because of his petty thoughts and anger with the Red Sand Scorpion.

Either earlier, there might be room for improvement, but now, if you recommend Feng Ying, you will be taking the blame.

Others don’t know it, and don’t Elder Chiyo, who has led the development of Sunagakure Village for decades, not know it?

It is almost certain that half of the country in the south will be split.Regardless of who is actually behind the scenes, other forces will definitely wait and see what happens.

Don't say that lending a helping hand and not adding insult to injury is considered conscientious.

Barren, vast, full of martial virtues, brave and good at fighting, these are the labels of Sand Ninja. If the word "barren" is removed, the vast country of Wind is simply a geomantic treasure.

There is sufficient sunlight, flat terrain, and rich underground mineral resources. If the problem of lack of water, food, and daily necessities is solved, which country in the entire shinobi world can rival it?

This is no longer a matter of blocking the south of the Yangtze River, but an epic change in which the thousands of miles of Sahara became fertile soil.

Not to mention irrelevant outsiders, the Gushan family who is leading all this doesn't know?

It was they who dug canals, built railways, cleaned saline-alkali land, planted trees and grass, fixed sand and cultivated soil, and herded cattle and sheep in the Kingdom of Wind.

The centuries-long cherished wish of the residents of the Land of Wind is right in front of their eyes. Will others sit back and watch the lying flat Sunagakure Village enjoy its fruits?

Afraid not to think too much.

Unless the improvement in the environment of the Kingdom of Wind stops here, it may give Suna Ninja some breathing space.However, the Gushan family invested so much, not for charity.

The nobles have good teeth and want to eat meat, especially when they have cooked a pot of delicious food and are waiting to be served. If you say you don't want to start the banquet, who will listen to you?

Elder Qiandai sighed when he thought of the situation facing the Kingdom of Wind.

Fortunately, this is a matter of the Kingdom of Wind, and Sand Hidden Village is not without a way out. It is necessary to be tied to the ship of the Kingdom of Wind.

To be honest, the Kingdom of Wind, which has lost half of its southern half, will not necessarily live a worse life in the future, but may live a better life.

However, it is a pity to lose more possibilities and imagination.

Now, Sunagakure Village has a way to improve its situation, and that is to actively join the new country that is about to be established and become one of the founders of the new ninja village.

The candidate Chiyo has been chosen, but there needs to be an opportunity.

Moreover, Gaara cannot be blamed for a series of scapegoats.

It was a last resort to drive away his own grandson and force him to take away all his opponents and defect to the southern forces.

However, after sending away the elites including the Red Sand Scorpions, the strength of Hidden Sand Village has declined. At this time, strong people must fill the gap.

Before the next generation of Suna Ninja can grow up, Elder Chiyo still needs to worry a lot.

However, this old body can no longer bear this heavy burden.The experience of fighting is still there, but his physical strength, chakra volume, reflexes, etc. can no longer keep up.

At this time, you must use other methods to improve it.

As a result, the forbidden art - Human Puppet, which had been buried for a long time, was revealed again.

After the Red Sand Scorpion proved that this path was feasible, Chiyo also thought about transforming herself.

It is almost unavoidable for every good puppet master to "cut a knife" on himself.Chiyo had transformed one of his arms into a sealing weapon a few years ago, and it was quite common for other injured limbs that affected his combat effectiveness to be replaced.

However, it is not an easy task to cut the whole body into a regenerative core and turn the shell into a human puppet.

Ebizo's repeated persuasion did not change her sister's mind, so she had to give up.

There are some things that just wishful thinking won't do.

Sunagakure Village is at a critical juncture and needs a Kazekage who can reconcile the conflicts between all parties, and Gaara is just the person.Those who are unwilling to accept it will be driven away. In addition, a respected elder will be needed to stand up for Gaara. It is best that his combat effectiveness has not declined much and he can live for a few more years.

Ebizo was known for his wisdom, but his intimidation was not enough. The other elders and advisors were insignificant, and only Granny Chiyo went into battle herself.

"Sister, you are well aware of the shortcomings of human puppetry, so be careful."

"I understand. You do your own thing and leave the rest to me."

Deficiencies in the body, to a certain extent, will be fed back to the soul through chakra.Although the regeneration core that retains biological activity can carry the will and chakra of the original owner, the "humanity" in it will gradually disappear over time, turning it into a real monster with a distorted will.

Emotional indifference is just one of the symptoms that is not very influential. The real problem is that the desire for one's own survival will be extremely shallow. If there is no obsession to maintain the foundation of survival, it will gradually become like inheriting memories and thoughts. A monster that retains the purest instinct.

This is completely different from Elder Chiyo's original intention of studying human puppetry.

"People cannot live forever, and even gods will disappear. I just want to use the few remaining years of my life to leave more hope for the village."

Chiyo said leisurely,

"It is so difficult for the people on this land to survive. They finally encountered an opportunity for improvement and cannot let it go. In comparison, what is the Country of Wind? It is the support of our Sand Hidden Village that makes it possible Its emergence. If Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara hadn't joined forces to be too strong, how could there be order in one village and one country?"

In Chiyo's eyes, there is no Wind Country, only Sunagakure Village. As long as the people under its rule can live a better life, everything is negotiable.

Sunagakure Village is so aggressive. To put it bluntly, isn't it just to obtain a piece of livable land so that it can thrive?

It is natural for the Kingdom of Wind to remain as a whole. If necessary, it is not unacceptable to split into two halves, or even more, as long as everyone can survive well.

Just when Elder Chiyo was about to cut himself into a regenerative core and create a puppet, the person being talked about, Red Sand Scorpion, stood on the high wall of the village with the help of an unknown puppet, looking down at the person who was shrouded in it. A village in the dark dust.

"That one probably has to make a decision. The forbidden technique...is really useful if you don't consider its side effects."

As he said this, not far behind him, a subordinate controlled by Qin Nao Cao Sha was half-kneeling, waiting for his boss's order.

"Yura, after I leave, the affairs of the village will be left to you. If nothing else happens, I won't wake you up again."

"Master Scorpion, can't I go with you?"

"It's the same everywhere."

The red sand scorpion smiled helplessly,

"The underlying logic of the operation of power in this world has changed. In the era when Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were strong, they jointly created the current order of the ninja world. However, the development of the times is not dependent on human will. Back then, The gods have disappeared, and the Sage of Six Paths who founded the Ninja Sect no longer exists. The ninja world will usher in another golden age in the future. This time, it will not be dominated by gods and monsters all over the sky."

Since being captured by Gu Shan Bu Shui, the spirit and soul of the Red Sand Scorpion have been greatly transformed. Now, although it retains its original thinking logic, its tendency has completely changed.

In fact, even without this step, after understanding how powerful Gushan Bushui himself was, he would have reached the same conclusion.

It is Gushan Bushui's established strategy to subtly influence most of the forces in the ninja world through each chess piece.

It is enough to place people at key positions. Real control still depends on economic control and cultural recognition throughout the ninja world.

"I don't understand."

As Yura said, the Red Sand Scorpion did not continue to explain, but changed his tone.

"How will the village function if everyone leaves?"

The Kingdom of Wind split into two, and Sunagakure Village was unable to stop it, so it had to passively split and join in.It would be good if the new Ninja Village that was about to be established could be controlled. Even if it didn't work, they could still maintain a good relationship and be able to make good friends with each other and advance and retreat together in the future.

In the final analysis, everyone is just dissatisfied with the current situation of Sunagakure Village and wants to improve their own situation, rather than really destroying the village.The position of one of the five great ninja villages cannot be lost. The name "Five Shadows" was forged with the blood of countless people, and its prestige cannot be given up easily.As for the new ninja village that is about to be established, it is still unknown whether it can support the sixth "shadow".

After all, ninjas are still accustomed to acting within the established framework and do not have the ability and motivation to start anew and re-establish order.

"Go ahead, act according to your identity, and don't arouse suspicion. No matter what happens in the future, we are all compatriots with the same spirit..."

"Yes."

After Yu Liang retreated, the Red Sand Scorpion put away his solemn expression and muttered casually:

"The chess pieces I left behind have their own ideas. Sure enough, people's hearts cannot stand the test, especially when they are devastated by the passage of time..."

These sand ninjas who are regarded as tools by the red sand scorpions may not necessarily obey the red sand scorpions. One of the functions of the subconscious mind manipulation sand is to seal part of the memory to prevent the spy from being discovered. At the same time, it also has the ability to destroy his brain immediately. The ability to kill it.

Especially the latter, this is the key to making them dare not betray.

After returning to Sand Hidden Village for so long, I basically met all my expectations. After finishing everything I wanted to do, there were no further instructions from Major Governor Gu Shan.

This proves that there are no requirements over there, and the next step is your own time.

"Compatriots from Sunagakure Village who share the same spirit?"

After scoffing twice, the Red Sand Scorpion, who felt ridiculous for being able to say such disgusting words without blushing or heartbeat, took two steps forward, leaned against the city wall, and caressed a handful of the extremely powerful Chakra Explosive The ballista, and the automatically operated puppet system below.

These are all the modifications I made after I came back.

While strengthening the defense of Sunagakure Village, it also left many "back doors".

When necessary, these weapons can turn their muzzles and aim inside, turning the entire Sand Hidden Village into a sea of ​​flames.

When doing this, the Red Sand Scorpion did not intend to ravage the Sand Ninja, but had the idea that it could come in handy if needed one day.

"The whole village repeatedly jumps between innocence and madness, and contradictions in the core of the soul and culture are everywhere. It is impulsive to launch a surprise attack and provoke a ninja war, but it is also able to surrender and lie down without any pressure. It’s just unreasonable.”

After leaving Sunagakure Village and seeing a wider world, the Red Sand Scorpion looked down on the Suna Ninja at all.I won’t look at you differently just because I was born here.

As for the recent series of decisions, Red Sand Scorpion also has his own opinions.

"You want me to leave? You can, but you can't leave completely. This is the farthest west of the Gushan family's influence. You can't just let it go."

It is C-shaped and forms a "semi-encirclement" of the entire World Island along the coastline. With the Kingdom of Fire as the basic board, the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Wind as its wings, it occupies the essence of the ninja world and uses economic means to force the Kingdom of Earth. It is Gushan Bushui's established plan to submit to the Kingdom of Thunder, indirectly control the entire world, and become the true "uncrowned king".

It was too late for Sand Hidden Village to break free from control.Since the defeat of the "Konoha Collapse Plan", allowing the forces of the Kosugi family to enter, massive demolition and construction in the country, and de facto control of this land, it is impossible for the Sand Ninja to survive alone.

As for what Chiyo wants to do, or the drama he wants to do, the Scorpion of Red Sand doesn't care at all. Even if he is about to be accused, or even several big scapegoats, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he is not the same as them. One heart.

"Old woman Chiyo, the only thing you can do right is to prioritize the survival and reproduction of Sunagakure Village, and everything else can be dealt with flexibly. It's really... the glorious tradition of Sunagakure."

-----------------

Thousands of kilometers away, Kosugi Bushui received the message from the Red Sand Scorpion and had no objections. Everything was left to the locals. As long as things are not delayed, the Iyo Kingdom will be de facto established before this summer. , just make initial preparations to build a ninja village.As for external recognition, it doesn’t matter.The Fourth Ninja War is coming, and the Ninja Alliance will be committed to uniting all forces to fight against the crisis of annihilation.At that time, all the unclear gray forces were good opportunities to clear their names.

Right now, Gushan Bushui has a very difficult matter waiting to be dealt with.

The extremely well-protected Chinatsu, the soul symbiote of Otsutsuki Kaguya, has been training at Inaba Academy for the second year.Originally there were no problems and she grew up step by step. Gu Shan Bu Shui's distant cousin by blood actually showed signs of awakening to the limits of blood inheritance.
