Chapter 831: Still Fresh in Memory!
The other Great Nations of the Ninja World were experiencing Undercurrents due to the Matter that occurred in Rōran.
As the 'host', Sunagakure's Reaction was naturally even more intense.
That day, after Rasa proposed the possibility that Crocodile might not be an ally, it stirred up a Sense of Danger among all the Elders present.
Because it was very possible!
Especially when Advisor Chiyo and Advisor Ebizo, who were sought out, both stated that they had never heard of any legend of giants and had no impression of the sketch portrait of Crocodile.
This Sense of Danger became even stronger.
So these days, they had been arguing in the Meeting Room about whether to proactively contact the current Roran, until yesterday when they finally organized a Diplomatic Team.
At the same time.
Sunagakure had already dispatched a large number of Ninja Units several days ago to set up strict multiple Defense Lines a hundred kilometers away from Roran.
Everyone knew the Principle that it's wise to be cautious of others.
"Enough!"
Chiyo waved her hand impatiently, interrupting the Elders' argument, and said coldly, "Don't forget, besides Rōran, we also have to deal with Cloud Hidden Village!"
"Now that Cloud Hidden Village has lost the Third Raikage, what else can they do? I don't believe they would dare to send out a Great Army to leave the Land of Lightning."
An Elder chuckled.
He believed that if Cloud Hidden Village really dared to do that, Stone Village and Kirigakure nearby would certainly send people to attack.
"Idiot!"
Chiyo stood up with a fiery temper, slammed the Tabletop, and said angrily, "Didn't you ever think that Cloud Hidden Village might ally with other Villages to make trouble for us?"
"Don't forget, the person who managed to Capture Alive the Third Raikage used masterful Sand Control Technique. This alone is enough to suspect he is one of us!"
"Would other Ninja Villages just watch our Sunagakure have such a Powerhouse?"
At the same time, she cursed inwardly, the key was that if that Powerhouse was really someone from their Sunagakure, that would be great. It could completely offset the Risk of arousing the Scruples of other Ninja Villages.
But the other party wasn't one of them!
"Uh..."
That Elder was instantly speechless. Fortunately, the good-natured Ebizo motioned for him to sit down first, easing the awkwardness of the Atmosphere, and then spoke.
"Of course, we can declare to the outside world that the Sand Control Powerhouse has no relation to our Sunagakure."
"But will they believe it?"
"Even if they believe it, if they then make a Requirement to Dispatch Troops to impose Sanctions on Roran, should we allow them easy entry? After all, Roran is also within our Land of Wind."
Anyway, this Matter was very awkward and troublesome. It seemed that no matter what they did, it wasn't the best Choice.
"There is only one Method now."
At this moment, Rasa, who had been silent, spoke. Waiting for all the Elders' Gaze to focus on him, he said in a deep voice, "That is to do everything possible to make that Powerhouse one of us!"
In his opinion, as long as the other party was present, the other Ninja Villages wouldn't dare to actively invade.
Because here, besides Desert, it was still Desert in the Land of Wind.
However, if this happened, his position as Fukurokuju would definitely be gone. After all, the only Bargaining Chip Sunagakure could use to recruit such a Powerhouse right now was the position of Fukurokuju.
Rasa was feeling upset. After all, as a Sand Hidden Ninja, who didn't Dream of becoming Fukurokuju?
It was about to be achieved, yet this kind of Matter occurred.
Who wouldn't be annoyed?
But the current Situation forced him to consider the Overall Situation. After all, if Sunagakure was gone, what use would Fukurokuju be?
At the same time.
The people in the Meeting Room, due to being overly focused on discussing, didn't notice that the Sandstorm outside the window seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and the color of the Heaven and Earth was also becoming increasingly Yellow.
Of course, this kind of weather was also too common for Sunagakure.
"Ah, another Sandstorm?"
A Chunin guarding the Edge City Wall of Sunagakure felt the suddenly fierce wind strength and the Yellow Sand swirling across the sky, sighing helplessly.
"I was thinking the Sky Color was nice today, and planned to take Kouji out to play."
Another Chunin nearby took out the white Mask from his Waist and put it on his face, replying, "What else can we do? This damned Environment and Climate of ours!"
These two simple lines of Dialogue stirred up resentment in this person's Popular Support.
In fact, it was an old topic among the Residents of Sunagakure, or rather, the entire Land of Wind.
It was about why other Nations and Ninja Villages could live in superior places, while they couldn't?
Especially those guys from the Land of Fire!
Over the years, Sunagakure's purpose for waging War against the outside world was the most Pure: they just wanted to seize a piece of fertile Land where people could live peacefully long-term.
From the upper echelon Fukurokuju, Advisors, and Elders down to the lower-level Civilians, everyone had the same Demand. This was also the Core of Sunagakure's ability to fight despite repeated defeats.
Only gradually, some people began to notice that something was wrong.
Because they found that the trajectory of the Sandstorm flying overhead didn't quite look like it was naturally formed, but faintly showed a Deja Vu of moving clockwise.
But it wasn't very obvious.
"Look!"
"This..."
But for the Ninja guarding outside Sunagakure, they could clearly see at a glance that their entire Village and the sky above were enveloped by a mass of slowly rotating Sandstorm.
Its Scale was astonishing.
"Is this an Enemy Attack?"
A Sunagakure Genin hesitantly looked at his Chunin Captain, who was also wide-eyed, speechless for a long time.
If this was an Enemy Attack, how terrifying must the existence be?
At least comparable to a Tailed Beast, right?
They really couldn't think of a more suitable description than this.
"Then what should we do?"
For a moment, this question simultaneously appeared in the minds of all the Ninja outside the Fortress.
It seemed like an Enemy Attack was correct, but where was the enemy? How should they act? Everyone was at a loss.
"Search the vicinity, see if there's a Jutsu User!"
Fortunately, a few veteran Jonin thought of a certain possibility and quickly ordered the surrounding Ninja to begin Detection in all directions.
This made many Ninja breathe a sigh of relief. It was better than standing still and doing nothing.
As for inside the Village.
Wasn't there still Lord Rasa, who was about to take office as the Fourth Kazekage, and Advisor Chiyo?
"What on earth..."
But little did they know, Rasa, Chiyo, and the others had already discovered that something was wrong with the Situation. They quickly ran from the Meeting Room to the spacious Rooftop, carefully observing the surging Sandstorm.
"That person has arrived!"
Rasa was the first to react, because he was the only one among the people present who had personally witnessed the Combat between Crocodile and the Third Raikage.
That giant Sand Tornado was still fresh in his Memory even now.
"What?!"
Chiyo and the group of Elders' Expressions changed drastically, while Rasa didn't pay attention to them anymore. He immediately activated his Magnet Release: Sand Gold.
In the blink of an eye.
Wave after wave of large amounts of Gold Sand surged out from the Ground of Sunagakure's Streets and Alleys. These were all things he had specifically buried secretly during normal times in order to guard against the Village being attacked.
Of course, if he or the Village needed money, he could also take it out and use it anytime.
It must be said.
Rasa was indeed worthy of being the man about to take over as the Fourth Kazekage. The range of his fully unleashed Magnet Release could cover more than half of Sunagakure.
However, compared to his Future Son, it was still a bit lacking.
"Controlling gold, huh? That reminds me of a guy who likes to put on airs..."
Suddenly.
A magnetic, hoarse laughter, Accompanied By the whistling Sandstorm, sounded.
This made Rasa, Chiyo, and the others feel Nervousness. Immediately after, a mass of rapidly converging Yellow Sand appeared in Mid-air, approximately twenty meters in front.
"He's here!"
Rasa's Pupil suddenly contracted.
