Reborn Wind Shadow: Begins the Attack on the Fire Nation

night.

After a day of talks, everyone returned to the accommodation arranged for them by the Sand Village, feeling a little tired.

Inside the building where the Konoha ninjas were staying.

Minato, the Fourth Hokage, and his guards: Shikaku, Choza, and Haiyi, started a secret meeting.

Although there is still a month left, the huge issue suddenly raised by the Fengying today forced everyone to hold a meeting to discuss it.

"This Kazekage is as bold as ever."

In the dim room, Shikaku smoked a cigarette and spoke slowly.

"Yeah, I was totally shocked when I heard it. I didn't even have a chance to get a word in this afternoon."

After knowing what happened through the stories told by his two good friends, Ding Zuo looked at the thoughtful Minato and asked in a low voice.

"Minato, what do you think?"

Minato didn't answer, but looked at Shikaku.

"Shikaku, do you think the Kazekage's method is feasible?"

Lu Jiu was stunned, then thought for a while and said.

"It's feasible, of course it's feasible. This is actually the same as when the Shodaime broke down the barriers between the families and established a new order in the ninja world by using the ninja village as a model. However, the obstacles we will encounter will probably not be small. Apart from anything else, the daimyo will definitely not agree. Although in name, our ninja village and the daimyo's mansion are equal partners, except for the Shodaime's era, even now, our Konoha has to be subordinate to the daimyo, and the daimyo certainly does not want to see our five major ninja villages unite."

Minato sighed. He knew it too, but Rosa's proposal really touched him.

Just as Haiyi said at this time.

"But it is indeed a good idea. If the five major ninja villages can communicate more like they did during the Five Kage Summit, many things can actually be avoided. Communication between people is still very important."

Seeing Minato who was somewhat agitated, Ding Zuo had to warn him.

"Calm down first, Minato. You have only been the Hokage for a short time. It is better for you not to get involved in such things."

Minato nodded in understanding.

"What about the issue of limiting the strength of ninja troops?"

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio in front of them are considered middle-level members of the Konoha family, and their opinions are still very important.

The three of them seemed to agree with this.

Because this proposal is good both from their personal interests and the interests of the village.

Shikaku thought about it and answered honestly.

"This is a good idea. The big families will definitely not object, because their children are naturally superior in the competition for Genin. As for ordinary people, although their children will have some disadvantages among competitors, to be honest, with this number, even if there are any problems, it will take more than ten years. As long as the five major ninja villages reach this agreement, the pressure brought by the arms race will indeed be much less for each ninja village."

"I understand. Then, let's work towards this goal first!"

"Ok!"

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

And in the hotels where they stayed in the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Hidden Rock Village.

The same discussion is going on.

The results they came to were very similar. They all understood that the so-called Joint Ninja Military Conference was indeed a good proposal, but they were not willing to take the risk to propose it proactively because these two ninja villages were highly dependent on the daimyo they belonged to for military spending.

And in Fengying Building.

Maki and Jingu, who knew Luo Sha's true intentions, were also a little nervous.

Although he knew that this was not something he should say as the head of the Anbu, for Rosa's sake, Maki still asked tentatively with some hesitation.

"Lord Kazekage, I'm afraid the four Kages will not agree with your proposal for a joint ninja military meeting."

At this time, Jingu, who had lived in the Sand Village for more than a year and understood the rules of the ninja village, also spoke.

"Minister Maki is right, Lord Fengying. Even if they are tempted, I'm afraid no one would dare to show up."

"Ah."

Luo Sha nodded.

"That's for sure. I only brought it up as a bait. Anyway, these Kages won't tell anyone because once suspicion sprouts, it will be difficult to suppress it. They won't bother to make trouble for the Daimyo."

"So, Master Fengying, what do you mean?"

Maki vaguely felt that Luo Sha seemed to have a deeper meaning.

"My idea is very simple. Even if there is no participation from the other four major countries and four major ninja villages, we in the Sand Village will still do this. Don't forget that in addition to the five major countries, there are many small countries in the ninja world. If we can unite them, then even if one day, our Sand Village will not be afraid to fight the other four major countries alone."

Both of them were shocked. They didn't expect Luo Sha to have such big ambitions.

"In fact, we have already made a good start. The Demon Country has established a good cooperative relationship with us. After the Five Nations Conference is over, Daikoku, Ishito, and Gravel will return to the Demon Country to help the Demon Country build a ninja village. As for the Hidden Rain Village, Nagato is growing rapidly. It is only a matter of time before the Rain Country becomes ours. Among the remaining small countries, except for the Hidden Grass Village, the Takigakure Village, and the Iron Country, the other small countries simply do not have the power to resist temptation."

"!!!"

Maki and Jingu, who originally thought that this was rather difficult, seemed to think it was possible after hearing Luosha's analysis.

"So what do you mean, Master Kazekage?"

"The second section of the Quicksand River leading to the Land of Demons will begin construction after this month. Once it is successfully built, the changes in the Land of Demons will surely attract the attention of other small countries. This will take at least half a year, and our Sand Village will also need a year to prepare for this matter. However, the Anbu can start preparing now."

"???"

Luo Sha gave the order directly under Maki's puzzled gaze.

"Maki, you have to keep a close eye on the ninja exam that will begin tomorrow. From all the children participating in the exam, select some as seeds for our future plans. Don't worry about the talent issue in this selection. Now we have the power of the Immortal Curse Seal in the Sand Village. Even if a child does not have the talent to become a ninja, we can train him. So, I want you to select those children who are not very attractive but have perseverance and wisdom. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Hey!"

Machi certainly understood.

"In addition to the normal ninja school courses, you must secretly train these children and turn them into qualified Anbu ninjas. After they graduate, let them infiltrate those small countries."

At this point, even if Luo Sha didn't say it, Maki understood.

"I understand, Master Kazekage. I won't let you down."

"You just understand."

Luo Sha said, looking towards the shrine.

"Jingu, give the order. From today on, the Desert Flower Ninja Examination will officially replace the Chunin Examination in the village and become the main way for our Sand Village ninjas to advance. We will grant the participants the qualifications of Genin and Chunin according to their overall performance. The Desert Flower Ninja Examination will be held every three years, so that every child will have at least two chances to become a ninja. In addition, starting from the second Desert Flower Ninja Examination, the era of Ninja School students becoming Genin after passing the graduation examination will be over. After that, all Genin and those children can become our Sand Village ninjas only if they pass the Desert Flower Ninja Examination..."

Jingu nodded. He understood why Rasa did this. Because, with the current population growth trend of Sand Village, if there were no restrictions on the number of Genin, the number of Sand Village ninjas would probably surpass the other four major ninja villages in just a few years.

"What about the children who failed the test twice?"

"Failing both tests means they may not be suitable to become ninjas. Anyway, there are many places in the village that need ninjas right now."

"I understand."

"Well, that's all I have to say. The first session of the Desert Flower Ninja Assessment will begin tomorrow. You guys should keep a close eye on it. I don't want anything to go wrong..."
