Chapter 812: Rōran's Calamity!
The sound of the wind, like something whimpering, always entered the spacious stone hall through the windows.
A beautiful woman with long dark red hair used her clear reddish-brown eyes to look at the Scenery outside the window, but could only see a vast yellow World.
Outside, a Sandstorm was blowing. This was not strange, as this City was originally located in the Desert. It's just that the Scale of this Sandstorm was unexpectedly large.
Perhaps because of this, this gentle woman, dressed in a classical purple dress with skin like Jewel, had unconcealable worry in her Gaze, or perhaps she was troubled by other reasons?
Just as she gently stroked the Ruby on her neck and was somewhat lost in Memory, the Main Gate behind her suddenly opened.
Immediately, a hurried-looking, short, stout man walked in.
"Her Majesty the Queen, the people who went out for Detection have returned, but only two people came back."
The man knelt on the ground, and looking sadly at the Queen's Back View, said.
"How could this be..."
The Queen suddenly turned around and hurriedly asked, "Who all came back?"
"Buen and Tashi."
"What? Then Mr. Hara is... Does Sister Mako know?"
The Queen's face was filled with worry and regret, because Mr. Hara was Sister Mako's husband.
"She should know by now." The short, stout man sighed, and then said again, "Her Majesty the Queen, but I think you should pay more attention to the Situation outside."
"You can get up first, Salai."
Queen Sara heard this, her Gaze immediately became serious. "What is the Situation in Sunagakure? Did they block the invasion from Cloud Hidden Village?"
"You guessed correctly!"
Speaking of this, the short, stout Salai straightened up, grinned with Excitement, revealing his characteristic single upper front tooth.
"According to the Intelligence gathered by Buen and the others, on Sunagakure's side, although due to the disappearance of the Third Fukurokuju, they were initially beaten back step by step by the Cloud Hidden Troops led by the Third Raikage."
"But when they went deep into the Desert, they were harassed by Sunagakure's various Traps, Assassination, and Poison Gas, and were finally repelled by a Sunagakure Jonin named Rasa, who used powerful Magnet Release to control Gold Dust like Sea Waves!"
"That's great!"
After listening, Queen Sara immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back on her Throne somewhat tiredly.
At the same time, using her soft, fair fingers, she massaged her temples.
"Sunagakure blocked Cloud Hidden Village, so the Land of Wind will be fine, and we Rōran can also continue to live peacefully."
"Um... Her Majesty the Queen, if something really happens, we can ask Konohagakure in the Land of Fire for help."
Salai spread his hands and said to her, "Didn't the Ninja from Konohagakure two years ago help us defeat the detestable Minister Anrokuzan?"
"This... I'm sorry, I really can't remember."
Sara stopped her hand movements and shook her head somewhat uncomfortably.
She could remember a part about Minister Anrokuzan, after all, he was someone who existed when her Mother was still alive. But what everyone often mentioned before, about Minister Anrokuzan imprisoning Citizens, manufacturing War Puppets for him, and finally being defeated by Konoha Ninja, etc., she really couldn't remember.
But the collapsed Spire outside, the destroyed Paths, and that Short Sword with the Konohagakure symbol on it were truly real.
Sara's Gaze subconsciously looked towards the Chakra Blade hanging on the wall.
What exactly happened back then?
Why every time she saw it, her Heart would always feel Sorrow.
This was to blame Minato Namikaze for only Sealing the Memories of a few of them at that time, but neglecting the Citizens of Roran...
So Sara sometimes would even have the thought of personally going to Konohagakure to find someone. Unfortunately, too many places in Rōran were destroyed before, she and the Citizens worked hard together to rebuild for nearly two years, and only managed to tidy up a part with great difficulty.
Yes, only a part.
Even now, Inside Lou Lan City, many collapsed Spires can still be seen.
A dilapidated appearance like it had just gone through War.
The main reason was because these tall Spires were all built when Minister Anrokuzan was present, using the Energy of the Dragon Veins and a large number of Puppetry to Construct them.
And now the Dragon Veins have been Sealed again, and Minister Anrokuzan is dead.
Those Puppetry that lost their Kinetic Energy, because no one could use them, and their Materials were valuable, were all thrown into the Warehouse for storage.
As a result, relying solely on Manpower and basic Equipment, it was simply impossible to deal with all the Building Debris.
So Sara a few days ago thought of a Method.
Which was to Employ the Ninja from Sunagakure to come and help.
As for the Reward, although Rōran was not very rich, the Puppetry in those Warehouses could probably be used as payment.
After all, Sunagakure's demand for Puppetry could be said to be the greatest among the Five Great Nations.
It's just that no one expected, a shocking Accident suddenly occurred.
The Lord Third Fukurokuju of Sunagakure inexplicably disappeared.
Also disappeared at the same time was the grandson of Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure.
This directly caused the entire Sunagakure to Riot, a large number of Sand Ninja were sent out to conduct a Carpet-like search.
Even here in their Rōran, several waves of Sand Ninja had come.
Sara didn't dare to stop them at that time, and could only fully cooperate with their Operation, even her own Bedroom was searched once.
Under this Situation, how could Sunagakure have the time to help Rōran deal with Construction Waste?
Although these were all caused by the Rogue Ninja of their Sunagakure, including the death of her Mother, the Previous Queen, logically speaking, Sunagakure had certain Responsibilities for this.
But as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Sunagakure didn't mention a single word about this.
Sara also didn't dare to offend Sunagakure.
Because Rōran, in terms of Geography, was considered a Vassal State of the Land of Wind, and she herself didn't have much Strength.
From this point of view, when An Lushan was present before, the Situation was actually much better.
At that time, there was the Strength of the Dragon Veins, and a large number of Combat Puppetry were constantly Patrolling Inside Lou Lan City.
Even if Sand Hidden Ninja passed by, they had to be more well-behaved.
Therefore, sometimes a Nation's Military Power and National Happiness Index cannot be achieved simultaneously.
A Nation that can achieve both, that is truly an incredible Great Nation!
And Sara, on her side, was thinking, wait until this Disturbance passes, then find Sunagakure again to issue an Employment Mission.
After all, Sunagakure can't possibly always use most of its Ninja on searching for the Third Fukurokuju and Elder Chiyo's grandson, right?
Moreover, if they don't accept Missions, where will their Income come from?
Who doesn't know that the Land of Wind is the poorest among the Five Great Nations?
But Sara could never have dreamed, that just as Sunagakure began recalling its Ninja.
The Third Raikage of Cloud Hidden Village actually led a Large Force, took a Lap around the Sea Route, from the Land of Tea on the Southeast Sea, suddenly entered the territory of the Land of Wind, like a Sharp spearhead, charging directly towards Sunagakure's Position.
Suddenly, the War between the two Great Ninja Villages began.
Roran could only tremble from afar.
Sara could imagine, if Sunagakure was really destroyed because it had no Fukurokuju, by the Third Raikage.
Then the fate of their Rōran would definitely not be good.
Who doesn't know that the Raikage of the Land of Lightning has always been the most hot-tempered one...
Now things are looking up.
Although the World outside was still blowing a sky-obscuring Sandstorm.
But Sara felt that the 'Dark Clouds' above Roran were starting to dissipate.
Wait for a while longer, wait until Sunagakure has a new Fukurokuju, then the Situation should be able to stabilize.
At that time, send people again to Employ Sand Ninja to come and help deal with the collapsed Building!
But Sara could never have imagined, about fifty kilometers South Side from Roran.
A Ninja Unit with a strength of three to four thousand people was slowly approaching, enduring the sky-filling Sandstorm.
"That should be the Small Country of Rōran, right? Just right to replenish Water and Food..."
A stout old man standing at the front of the Team, with dark skin, light yellow long hair and a long beard, looked ahead with a chilling Gaze, completely unconcerned by the raging Sandstorm.
On his bare right shoulder, the large character 'Thunder' engraved there exposed his Identity!
