Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

The era of the Second Kazekage can be said to be the most prosperous period of Sunagakure.

In terms of ninjas, the Second Kazekage, Chiyo, Ebizo, and Shukaku were all in their prime, and young people represented by the Third Kazekage and Sasori's parents were also growing up healthily. In addition, with the various secret techniques developed through the study of Shukaku, Sunagakure felt for the first time that it had the confidence to challenge Konoha.

However, as a result, the Second Kazekage's body deteriorated day by day due to years of contact with Shukaku's chakra, Sasori's parents were killed by Sakumo Hatake, and the Second Shinobi World War ended in Sunagakure's crushing defeat. This caused Sunagakure to fall from heaven to hell in an instant.

Therefore, many people in the village still miss the era of the Second Kazekage.

Many of the Jonin here also came from that era.

After hearing Rasa's words, many people also showed nostalgia, and their eyes looking at Rasa also carried a hint of expectation.

Can Sunagakure really reproduce the prosperity of the Second Kazekage era!?

Rasa didn't say much nonsense, because he had already said what he could say, and now it was up to everyone to do it.

And at this time, he had finished saying what he could say about some of the village's affairs.

These Jonin didn't need to stay any longer.

"Okay, Elder Chiyo, Elder Ebizo, Yekura, Mikawa, and Maki stay, the others can leave!"

"Yes!"

As the Jonin left one by one, the Kazekage's office became quiet.

At this time, the expressions of the people in the office were complicated. On the one hand, they hoped that everything Rasa said could be realized, but on the other hand, they were a little unsure.

The current Sunagakure is really too weak.

It can be said to be completely at the bottom of the five major ninja villages.

This made everyone present feel a lack of confidence.

Rasa ignored them and simply asked.

"Do you have any problems with my arrangements?"

Chiyo, Yekura, and Mikawa didn't speak, only Ebizo said supportively.

"Kazekage, your arrangements are very good, I have no objections!"

"Okay!"

Since everyone didn't speak, Rasa took it as tacit agreement.

"Maki, now you can tell the two elders, Yekura, and Mikawa, how much funds you have obtained this time?"

Maki was obviously a little excited and recited the numbers he had memorized by heart very skillfully.

"Reporting to Kazekage-sama, according to the Anbu's statistics, the funds obtained from this operation, just the currency alone, amount to 7.9 billion Ryo. This exceeds Sunagakure's military expenditure for ten years. In addition, there are 179 million catties of grain, enough for the 100,000 people of Sunagakure for five years. Cloth, salt, iron, sugar, and medicine are enough to support our needs for ten years. The silver, gold, jewelry, and antiques are countless."

Hearing these somewhat exaggerated numbers, the four people present were all dumbfounded.

Although they had expected that the harvest this time would not be small, they still hadn't anticipated that there would be so much.

Because Rasa already knew these numbers, he didn't show too much surprise, but instructed.

"Jewelry and antiques are not of much use to us. Convert them into the items needed by the village as soon as possible. I think the nobles of our Wind Country should like these treasures from the Land of Fire."

Gold and silver are still hard currency in this world.

"Understood, Kazekage-sama!"

Maki also suddenly had an inspiration and nodded excitedly.

At this point, Rasa scanned the faces of the people present and asked.

"I want to hand over these items and funds to the Anbu for management. Do you have any objections?"

Chiyo and Ebizo didn't react, but Yekura and Mikawa raised their heads and frowned slightly.

As ninjas, they certainly wouldn't care who controlled these funds.

After all, sitting in this position, they wouldn't have a problem with lacking money, but the trouble was that they represented not only themselves, but also the elders of the commoner and noble factions behind them.

Just when they didn't know how to answer, Chiyo, who had been a little distracted, suddenly asked.

"Was the Third Kazekage really killed by Danzo of Konoha?"

This sudden topic stunned everyone, and Maki and Ebizo, who knew some of the reasons, changed their expressions slightly.

Rasa's answer was very simple. He looked at everyone and said sharply.

"The Third Kazekage can only be, and must be, killed by Danzo of Konoha!"

Everyone present was smart and understood that for the sake of the village's unity, this murderer could only be Danzo of Konoha.

Chiyo also understood Rasa's meaning, and her heart relaxed slightly as she looked at Rasa.

"I understand. I have no objection to your arrangements, Kazekage. Besides, I am old. Kazekage, you should find someone to replace me in the puppet squad!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Because this meant that Chiyo had decided to retire and hand over all the power in her hands to Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage. This was a handover of new and old power, and it also meant that Rasa's position as Kazekage was completely stable.

Rasa was actually very surprised, but although he also wanted to control Sunagakure's puppet squad, after thinking about it, he temporarily refused.

"No... Elder Chiyo, there is no ninja in the village who can control the puppet squad, so I still need to trouble you. Moreover, in order to ensure the clarity of the use of the funds obtained from this operation, I would also like to invite two elders to be the supervisors."

Chiyo looked at Rasa, saw his serious eyes, and nodded without refusing.

Everything she was doing now was only to atone for her grandson, Sasori.

Rasa had expressed his sincerity and tried his best to cover up for her grandson, Sasori.

Since Chiyo agreed, her younger brother Ebizo naturally had no objections.

Now Yekura and Mikawa had no way to say anything.

The status of Chiyo and Ebizo in the village was too transcendent.

Compared with these two, the elders behind them were simply children and adults.

Of course, Rasa wouldn't do things too absolutely.

"Maki, take out 500 million from the funds obtained this time and give them to Yekura and Mikawa respectively as a reward for this operation."

As for how to divide the 500 million, that was Yekura and Mikawa's business.

Seeing that they didn't return empty-handed, the two also breathed a sigh of relief, and it wasn't a small amount.

The Daimyo's military expenditure for Sunagakure every year was only 600 million, which was enough to shut the mouths of the old guys behind them.

Now that the problem of money had been solved, the next problem was another one.

"Now that the money problem has been solved, the next problem is people. The reason why Konoha is so much stronger than us is because Konoha has too many Kekkei Genkai and secret techniques, but what does Sunagakure have? Besides Magnet Release and Yekura's Scorch Release, I really can't name any other powers worth mentioning. Besides that, there are summoning beasts, which are all problems that Sunagakure needs to solve?"

This made the five people present frown.

As someone who had been through it, Yekura said directly.

"I'm afraid this matter won't be so easy. The development of secret techniques is not that simple."

Rasa nodded.

"Theoretically, that's true, but this ninja world is always unreasonable?"

"What do you mean?"

Rasa didn't hide it and said directly.

"I received intelligence that recently, the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure seems to be very dissatisfied with the Kekkei Genkai clans in Kirigakure and seems to have the intention of taking action. This is Sunagakure's chance..."
