Start by meeting Xiaonan and save the goddess of the ninja world

The Third Raikage reunited with Yukito and quickly retreated to the rear. It had been less than a day since they fought with the Sand Village.

It seems that the planned two-day period cannot be carried out. It is understandable. After all, it is a big village and you can’t just take it over if you want!

The Third Raikage only suffered internal injuries, and nothing can be seen on his body. He just needs to rest for a while, and it's nothing serious.

They needed to lead the Hidden Cloud Ninjas to retreat quickly. The longer they delayed, the more dangerous it would be.

On the other side, Daming Prefecture.

"Sir, all our money has been taken away!" A concubine came forward crying and complained.

"Ah~!" Pangpang Daming gritted his teeth. No one had ever dared to treat them like this. He had saved hundreds of billions of taels, and they were all gone in an instant.

In fact, banks had already appeared in the Rain Country at that time, but these people were worried about the safety and feared that their property would be swallowed up again.

Ever since Su Zheng completely took control of the Rain Country, he has blackened the transactions that had long been monopolized by major countries. Many riots have occurred in secret, but under such powerful strength, they have no choice but to accept it!

Su Zheng swallowed up a lot of money from major countries, a full 100 billion taels, and Saori was happy for a while.

The fat Daimyo rolled his eyes, looked at his staff below, and asked, "How do you think we can deal with this group of Kumogakure?"

The middle-aged staff stroked his beard and said, "We are too far away from Kumogakure, and there is no good solution for the time being, but..."

Daimyo looked at him and asked, "But what?"

The aide chuckled and whispered, "However, I do have a way to deal with the property that Your Excellency has lost."

"Oh!" Daimyo became interested and said, "Tell me quickly, what can you do?"

The aide smiled evilly and blurted out: "Since they can come to rob us, then we can also rob them. This is called a come-and-go situation!"

The daimyo didn't have any objections, but the Sand Village ninja had to step in.

The daimyo frowned slightly. In fact, he had a group of powerful forces in his hands, but he could not use them. After all, legally, the village controlled the military power.

The staff saw his hesitation and said, "Sir, you don't have to worry about Sunagakure not agreeing. They need a large amount of military funds every year, but they are of no help in the war."

"This time, they can expand their finances through war, so why wouldn't they want to do that?"

"Okay!" After thinking about it, the daimyo finally agreed to this plan.

The world of ninja is very strange. It seems that the military and politics are separated, but in fact, the ninja’s military power can only be used externally, not internally.

While the government appears to be managed by the daimyo, it is actually managed by local big families, quite like an ancient aristocracy.

Sand Hidden Village.

The assembled Sand Village ninjas are checking the village, searching for some escaped ninjas, and the top leaders have come to the conference room for a meeting.

A senior executive looked at everyone and sighed inwardly. Both candidates, Qingshan and Kitajima, were dead, leaving only Luo Sha, so the result was no suspense!

"Ahem!" He attracted everyone's attention and said, "I think our first priority is to decide on the candidate for Kazekage. We have already started a war with Kumogakure and may face attacks from other villages."

"Everyone, what do you think?"

Everyone agreed that solving external enemies was the top priority, and everything else had to come second.

"I propose that Rasa take over as the Fourth Kazekage!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

……

Things were quickly settled. In war, all procedures were simplified and things had to be sorted out as quickly as possible.

Luo Sha was very happy. As the successor of the Fourth Kazekage, he could do many things. He quickly issued his first order:

Clear out the traps set in the village and guard it strictly. At the same time, send a large number of ninjas to the border between Iwagakure and Konoha to spy on their actions, gradually restore the village in the Wind Kingdom, and hunt down the Kumogakure ninjas.

The Third Raikage and the Kumogakure led by Bokuto retreated quickly. The retreat route was still in their hands, so there were no accidents.

Tangqian Village.

After Ai dealt with the poisonous fog, he walked out of the room, came outside, and asked the intelligence ninja beside him: "Is there any news from the Sand Village?"

The intelligence ninja standing by was about to say no when a ninja hurried over and said urgently, "Lord Ai, Lord Raikage wants us to guard the passage. They are retreating."

Ai took the information and looked at it. It was indeed true. He thought to himself: "It seems that Sunagakure is also holding back. Omura is really not that easy to take down!"

He ordered: "Send more ninjas to guard and do not disrupt our retreat route. Go!"

"Yes!" The two of them quickly went to convey the order.

In the distance, Ebizo and Chiyo led the escaped Sand Village ninjas to hide aside. Now that the Kumo Village is powerful, they have to wait until the village is free before they can gradually counterattack.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Third Raikage led the Cloud Hidden Village to arrive here and asked Ai beside him: "Is the retreat route still safe?"

Ai responded, "It's safe. The road behind is still under our control."

"Very good. The ninjas you lead will cover the rear and set traps to slow down the movement of the Sunagakure. Also, notify Troy to prepare for retreat and destroy the gold dust that cannot be taken away."

"Yes!"

The rear had more than a thousand kilometers of unimpeded travel, and they suffered no damage, returning safely to the coast controlled by Yunyin.

Inside the gold mine.

Troy felt sad when he saw the gold dust that he couldn't take away, but there was no time left and he had to retreat.

After mixing the gold ore and burying it back underground, the Hidden Cloud Group began to retreat.

They had happy smiles on their faces. They got a total of 72 tons of gold bars and more than tons of metal minerals. After refining these, they could get more than kilograms of gold. How wonderful!

The scrolls they carried were all filled, and many of them were carrying more than 100 kilograms of metal minerals. Gold must have been stored in the scrolls first, and the excess was used to store metal minerals.

What made Troy regretful was that he overestimated his magnetic escape technique and was indeed unable to condense the gold sand. He originally wanted to take all the gold of the Sand Village, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even take away a gold mine!

I can only say that he was too bold. The Wind Country had thousands of tons of gold deposits, and he actually wanted to take them all away...

The Third Raikage saw Troy and immediately asked, "How is it, what did you get?"

Troy said with some joy: "We have refined more than 70 tons of gold, as well as many metal minerals, which are worth about 70 billion taels!"

Then he said with some frustration: "It's a pity that the gold mine has not been fully mined."

“Hahaha!” The Third Raikage patted his shoulder happily and consoled him, “It’s okay. It’s good enough to have these. Don’t be greedy!”

How could he not be excited? 70 billion taels was equivalent to their Yunyin military expenditure for ten years!

The golden scrolls were put together and sealed, and the remaining metal minerals were piled on the ship. They were ready to evacuate when Ai's reserve troops arrived.

Luo Sha was indeed young and energetic. At four o'clock in the afternoon, he led the Sand Village to launch a full-scale counterattack. What surprised them was that the Cloud Village did not retreat on land, but instead headed towards the heart of the Wind Country, which made him feel uneasy.

When they arrived at a gold mine in the hinterland, they understood everything. The scattered scene showed that Yunyin came here to steal the gold!

At this time, Ai had led the Cloud Hidden Ninja back to the coastline, preparing to board the ship and evacuate.

The Kumogakure did not rest for a night. Taking advantage of the bright night, they retreated quickly. When the Sand Village arrived the next day, the place was already deserted!

On the ship, the Third Raikage was counting the losses. He had led more than 2,000 people on this attack, but there were only about 1,700 people on the return journey, so the losses were not that great.

Overall, Kumogakure was still very successful, obtaining 70 billion taels of gold, a sum of money that would make Ohnoki cry with envy!
