What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?.

Chapter 214 Luosha: I went to heaven and earth to protect the Sand Village (4K)

Luo Sha has been living a comfortable life recently.

It is comfortable in the literal sense, and in many other senses.

The introduction of the uncut version of "Ultimate Storm" to Konoha went smoothly, and there were no problems throughout the process, thanks to the mediation of Sarutobi Mizuki. With the latter's help, he got to know several Konoha ninjas who had connections with Konoha's high-level officials.

Among them are those from the Utane family, the Mito family, and even the Senju who abandoned his surname and a very mercenary Uchiha.

When getting along with these people, Luo Sha only felt that their stench was overflowing, because their style of doing things was not like that of a ninja at all, but more like those of the decadent daimyo and nobles, as well as businessmen who were addicted to enjoyment and corrupt.

All his ways of doing things are full of disgusting bureaucracy, with hypocritical and artificial smiles on his faces and his eyes revealing his shrewdness in calculating others, as if he was ready to squeeze money out of others at any time.

Luo Sha had an instinctive aversion to these people, but he wished there were more of them.

Because these decadent and corrupt guys all belong to Konoha, and they are the result of Konoha abandoning traditions and focusing on making money.

The existence of these guys is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, sticking to the huge Konoha and sucking blood, making Konoha weaker little by little.

If Rasa was from Konoha, he would definitely hate these guys immensely and wish they were all dead, but Rasa is from the Sand Village and is the first in line to be the next Kazekage, so he likes dealing with these guys very much and spends money to bribe them.

After all, such people have a characteristic, which is that they will really get things done if they spend money.

For example, in this negotiation with Konoha, the Konoha high-level officials were not willing to let the Sand Village easily obtain the unstricted version of "Ultimate Storm", but after bribing these guys, the original obstacles were cleared away, the negotiation process became extremely smooth, and the negotiation process was completed in just a few days.

Although the Sand Village paid some price for this, it was all worth it and only temporary - with Konoha's current decadent and corrupt state, when the Ninja World War really begins, this once largest village in the Ninja World will be destroyed without a trace, and its accumulated wealth will be divided up by the major Ninja villages!
Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about the current losses. Temporary losses are only for the purpose of gaining more in the future.

Without the pressure of work and mission, Luo Sha can naturally focus on other things.

I have to say that the club called Heaven on Earth in Konoha is really good, from bathing to foot washing, from foot massage to back stepping, from head rubbing to ear cleaning, there are all kinds of enjoyment modes that have never been heard of in the Wind Kingdom.

This kind of enjoyment is truly a wonderful thing.

The price was just too high. At the beginning, it was Sarutobi Mizuki who treated them all, but later on, in order to bribe those people who had connections with the Konoha high-level officials, they had to spend their own money. They really spent money like water.

Fortunately, this time he is the representative of the Sand Village delegation, so he can directly use the delegation's activity funds to pay for it without spending his own money.

But even so, there is not much money left.

Luo Sha is already considering using emergency channels to report to the Third Kazekage and ask Lord Kazekage to approve some special funds.

Luo Sha was conflicted about this matter at first, but after being persuaded by his good friend Sarutobi Mizuki, he let it go.

Because Sarutobi Mizuki said that they were all just workers in their respective ninja villages. The village's money belonged to the village, and their own money belonged to themselves.

Even if you are the successor to the Kazekage, this will not change. In other words, as the successor to the Kazekage, you must know how to manage the village's money and use it wisely.

Now, as the representative of the Sand Village delegation, Luo Sha is shouldering the mission of fighting for the interests of the Sand Village. All external activities and consumption incurred by contacts with other people are also for the Sand Village.

Then, Luo Sha should not have any pressure about this, and should even use the money of Sand Village to accomplish his mission. After all, all this is for the Sand Village and is a necessary sacrifice.

"Brother Luo Sha, I am an experienced person. I have also given everything to protect Konoha. Look at the wounds on my body. They are all left for protecting Konoha."

"But what did Konoha give me? It's just some resettlement money, which makes me live in a very tight financial situation now."

"So, brother, I understand. Since we ninjas are tools, we should distinguish between public and private affairs. We cannot bring personal matters to work, and we cannot pay for work out of our own pockets. That would not only undermine the requirements of the ninja village system, but also be a thankless task."

"Like me, I now use public funds to reimburse all my work expenses. This way, I can complete my work smoothly without delaying my family. Don't you think this makes sense?"

In the public bath of the Tenjo Renjian Club, Sarutobi Mizuki said this while taking a bath with Rasa. It seemed as if everything was for Rasa's good. He treated Rasa as a friend, so he taught Rasa his life insights and experiences.

When Luo Sha looked at the scars on Sarutobi Mizuki's body, his eyes trembled and his heart was shocked.

After all, Sarutobi Mizuki is a member of the Sarutobi family, and his elder is the Third Hokage.

Such a person suffered such a serious injury and said that life after the injury was not easy, which made Luo Sha couldn't help but put himself in the situation.

Sunagakure is poorer than Konoha. Although Rasa is the first in line to become the Kazekage, hasn’t he become the Kazekage yet?

What if I fail to become the Kazekage, then wouldn't all my efforts now be worthless?
It’s not that Rasa is unwilling to give and sacrifice for the Sand Village, but that Rasa is already preparing to get married and is very much in love with his fiancée Karula. This forces him to think carefully about whether his family can be well taken care of in case he sacrifices himself.

Thinking carefully about the situation in the Sand Village, Luo Sha felt it was in danger. After all, the Sand Village was very poor. Although it had become rich recently, many of its habits were still retained. One of them was that they were very "stingy" towards the families of sacrificed ninjas, only ensuring the most basic survival.

Luo Sha saw all of this. He and the Third Kazekage also wanted to make some changes while the Sand Village had money, but the resistance was too great. The traditional forces were strongly opposed to this and vowed, "The Sand Village has its own village sentiment and the policy for the families of the victims was formulated by the first generation. It is an ancestral system. Do you understand what ancestral systems cannot be violated? Also, with this policy in the past, the Sand Village still exists and has always been one of the five major ninja villages. Since we, the older generation, can tolerate it, why can't you, the new generation, accept it? Are you not loyal enough to the Sand Village? Do you dislike the Sand Village?"

In terms of attitude, if 'we' can do it, why can't you?
To be honest, Luo Sha wanted to kill all those old men with a magnetic escape. What do you mean they can do it?

Damn, are these old men the ones who were sacrificed?
Those who sacrificed are already buried. Why can they bear to see their families suffer?
Can a dead person still jump out to object?
These high and mighty people have long lost their enterprising spirit, and their minds are filled with thoughts about maintaining their prestige and power, as well as their own and their families' good lives. They simply don't consider things from the perspective of the victims!

Unfortunately, no matter how angry and unwilling Luo Sha was, he could not do anything, because even the Third Kazekage could only take things step by step. It also made him understand that the Sand Village did not belong to the Kazekage, and the Kazekage could not have the final say. Even if it was a policy that was beneficial to the Sand Village, the Kazekage had to first deal with those old masters who had the final say if he wanted to implement it.

Therefore, Rasa deeply understood what Sarutobi Mizuki said, that is, the Sand Village is the Sand Village, and he, Rasa, is Rasa. Even if he, Rasa, becomes the Kazekage, it does not mean that the Sand Village belongs to him.

After considering all this, Rasa was persuaded by Sarutobi Mizuki, so he wrote a letter and submitted a request for more activity funds, and obtained some funds from the Sand Village from other channels in advance.

These are emergency funds that the Sand Village has placed in various places in the Land of Fire. They are things that can only be used in urgent situations.

As the successor of the Kazekage, Luo Sha knew the location of the funds, so he just used them.

Anyway, once the funds approved by the Kazekage are in place, they can be directly supplemented, and Luo Sha doesn't have to delay his work. He knows that even if the Third Kazekage knows about it, he will definitely support him.

After all, everything is for the Sand Village!
Just like that, on that day, Luo Sha realized the spiritual core of "for the village"!

Soon, after receiving the new activity funds, Rasa continued to deal with the corrupt bureaucrats of Konoha headed by Sarutobi Mizuki. He was drunk every day, and his expression always showed a hint of fatigue as if he had consumed too much energy.

When he returned to the Sand Village Legation Mansion in this manner, everyone in the delegation was worried and distressed for him.

Although Luosha eats and drinks non-stop and goes in and out of Tianshang Renjian every day like a fallen playboy, everyone in the delegation knows that this is Lord Luosha shouldering a heavy responsibility to flatter the enemy in order to gain huge benefits for the Sand Village.

As a result, the process of introducing "Ultimate Storm" became very smooth due to the efforts of Lord Rasa, and he even obtained a lot of information about the major families of Konoha from people like Sarutobi Mizuki who he dealt with every day.

It can be said that Lord Luosha is sacrificing himself for the sake of the Sand Village!

Therefore, no one in the delegation was dissatisfied with Rasa, and many people even felt that Rasa was working too hard and wanted to deal with Sarutobi Mizuki and others on his behalf.

However, this was rejected by Rasa, who said that he had established a good relationship with Minato Sarutobi and others, and those people only recognized him. If other people from the delegation were to go, it would be useless and would instead arouse those people's vigilance and unhappiness, causing all previous efforts to be wasted, so no one must be replaced.

Luo Sha also said that all this is for the Sand Village, and for the Sand Village, some sacrifices and contributions are necessary, and he, Luo Sha, can endure all this!
After all, as a ninja, you need to endure the unbearable things!

After hearing Luo Sha's words, the members of the delegation were deeply shocked and moved. Many of them shed tears. They looked at Luo Sha with eyes full of heartache and admiration, and were full of admiration, as if they were willing to give everything for Luo Sha.

Seeing this scene, Luo Sha also felt the expectations and responsibilities from everyone. While his face was solemn, he also felt in his heart that what Brother Mizuki said was indeed right. As ninjas, they must distinguish between public and private affairs. Even if they do it for the good of the village, they cannot pay out of their own pockets to solve problems without authorization, and they cannot hide things. They must let others know their contributions.

This is truly for the village!

Luo Sha felt that the responsibility on his shoulders became heavier, and it also strengthened his determination to work harder for the village.

The above is the situation of the Sand Village delegation, and similar situations also occurred in the delegations of other ninja villages.

It's just that the reactions are different because the people are different.

Rasa is just the best representative among the representatives of the major ninja villages, and he also has the best relationship with the people of Konoha. The representatives of the remaining ninja villages cannot let go of their pride and reserve, and they don't get along so well with the corrupt bureaucratic group of Konoha. When facing these people, they often get angry.

This has resulted in very slow progress in negotiations between the major ninja villages and Konoha, which are still in the midst of various tugs of war.

However, when everything was settled in the Sand Village and Rasa had a close relationship with Sarutobi Minato and others, the representatives of the major ninja villages had to make some concessions and compromises.

There was no way. If everyone was treating the negotiation progress equally, there would be nothing wrong. However, the progress on the Sand Village side was very fast. The negotiations were completed in just a few days. They couldn't help but be anxious.

Representatives from several major ninja villages immediately sent people to investigate, and also arranged for people to go to the Sand Village delegation to inquire about the situation.

What Luo Sha did these days was no secret, and many things could not be concealed, so soon the relevant information was placed in front of the delegations from various villages, making those people suddenly realize that Luo Sha had paid so much and spent a lot of money.

While the representatives of the major ninja villages were amazed at how rich the Sand Village was now, they also understood that it was foolish to continue to hold on to their pride and disdain. If they could not establish good relations with the corrupt representatives of Konoha, it would be difficult for them to win the "Ultimate Storm" project and complete the tasks assigned by the village.

As a result, the representatives of the delegations from each village lowered their posture and began to take the initiative to deal with the corrupt bureaucrats of Konoha headed by Sarutobi Mizuki. They followed Rasa's approach and often took these people to clubs such as Heaven and Earth to play.

As the relationship between the two sides improved rapidly, the representatives of each village felt distressed as they watched the mission's rapidly depleting operating funds, but they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because, when the representatives of the village delegations began to do this, they found that the progress of the negotiations with Konoha was rapidly accelerated. The negotiations that were originally stuck were quickly passed, and in just a few days, they had already settled the issue of introducing the uncut version of "Ultimate Storm" to their own village, which had been completely impossible to negotiate before.

So far, the diplomatic envoys from various countries have mastered the correct way to deal with Konoha bureaucrats, and have all decided to maintain this relationship.

After all, with these corrupt bureaucrats around, it will be easy for them to ask Konoha for anything in the future. Once the Ninja World War breaks out, these corrupt bureaucrats may even become their accomplices and become a sharp blade that stabs Konoha in the back!
