Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 79 Luo Sha
"Hahahaha, Fengying's presence makes my humble home so honored."

In the Hokage's reception room, Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing a Hokage robe, enthusiastically shook hands with the middle-aged man in front of him.

"I am really touched that Your Excellency the Hokage has time to entertain me despite his busy schedule."

The brown-haired man looked at the old man in front of him with an official smile on his face.

"No, no, the Sand Ninja has always been an ally of Konoha, so we should show them hospitality."

Sarutobi Hiruzen invited the Kazekage to sit down and ordered someone to serve tea.

Sakura stood silently behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, looking at the Kazekage in front of her with her emerald eyes.

It has changed, it has changed, it has really changed.

Rasa, who should have been killed by Orochimaru long ago, appeared in front of him alive.

Is it because of Konoha's changes...

Did Orochimaru see the purpose behind the resource war, so he didn't attack Rasa?
Or maybe he wanted to see if Sarutobi Hiruzen could still push the windmill of Konoha?

But if that's the case, why would Orochimaru still appear in Konoha?

"Who is this one?"

Rasa took a sip of tea and his eyes fell on Sakura behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sakura's information was not blocked by Sarutobi Hiruzen, so Rasa naturally knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen had accepted another apprentice.

"This is my little disciple, old man, not worth mentioning."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and chuckled.

"So he is the Hokage's disciple, a young talent."

"Gaara, why don't you say hello."

Rasa glanced at Temari, Gaara, behind him.

As for Kankuro, since he was defeated by Kurotsuchi of the Iwagakure Village, Rasa did not bring him to meet the Hokage.

"Hello."

Temari greeted Sakura politely, and Gaara simply nodded to Sakura with a calm expression.

Sakura responded with a calm expression, which was considered a response to the two of them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the interaction between the younger generations on both sides, smiling without saying much, and Rasa didn't say much about it either.

In fact, no matter whether it was the First, Second, or Third Ninja World War, the Sand Ninja were the first to defect and directly attack Konoha.

Even if we are allies now, so what?

ally?

There is no real and reliable benefit.

"I originally thought that it would take some time for Lord Kazekage to arrive in Konoha, but I didn't expect him to come so early."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with a smile.

Luo Sha narrowed his eyes at this.

Today, there is a food shortage in Fengzhi and prices are rising. Domestic demand cannot be met simply by purchasing from surrounding small countries.

Only the Fire Nation has the ability to provide the Wind Nation with what it needs.

The Daimyo of the Wind Country has already issued a death order: if negotiations fail, then fight!

Luo Sha had the same idea. He could barely afford to eat, so why was he still talking about an alliance with the Fire Nation?
Because of this, the Daimyo of the Wind Country specially relaxed the military spending of the Sand Village.

Rasa glanced at the attendants around him and Sakura behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen understood what he meant and waved his hand to signal Sakura and the people around them to go out.

"You two get out too."

Luo Sha glanced at his daughter and son.

"Yes, Lord Kazekage."

Temari bowed respectfully to Rasa, then left the living room with Gaara, who remained silent.

Sakura looked back at the Fourth Kazekage, then left the living room without any delay.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is old, his mind is not confused. The reason why he arrived in Konoha early is definitely because of the shortage of resources.

How could such a problem be solved by just one conversation between two people? It would take a month or so to reach a consensus.

and……

The Sand Village... but they are the enemy...

hehe~~

After leaving the living room, Sakura glanced at the brother and sister standing at the door waiting for Rasa, then left.

"Haruno Sakura."

Gaara suddenly called out to Sakura from behind.

"Is something wrong?"

Sakura looked back.

"As a disciple of the Hokage, are you strong?"

Gaara's eyes were gloomy, and there was hardly any hostility hidden in them.

When Temari heard Gaara's words, she was afraid that her younger brother would suddenly go crazy, so she quickly waved her hand to apologize to Sakura and quickly signaled her younger brother to calm down.

This is the Hokage Building. If Gaara suddenly goes crazy, she will definitely be the first to die!
"Heh, you can try it."

Sakura wasn't going to tolerate this guy and responded with a provocative look.

"Sorry, sorry, Gaara didn't mean it."

Temari couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when she saw the two people arguing with each other, and she quickly tried to smooth things over.

Gaara looked at Sakura gloomily and said nothing.

Sakura took one last look at Gaara and snorted before disappearing around the corner.

She doesn't care what happens to Gaara, but if the other party wants to take action here, Sakura will not be a pushover.

Let this guy know what a fist as big as a sandbag is.

-

After leaving the Hokage Building, Sakura looked back at the reception room on the third floor.

Now that the Fourth Kazekage is alive, the original plot can no longer be used as a reference for the next development.

You have to know that in addition to the Kazekage Rasa, there is also a Tsuchikage Ōnoki who has not arrived yet.

Fortunately, Tsunade has returned to the village, and Jiraiya has also realized the importance of this Chunin Exam, and he will not just deal with Orochimaru's summoning beasts as he did before.

and……

Sakura watched as her hands clenched into fists, a look of determination in her eyes.

I... am not made of clay.

Even if that old man Ohnoki is ignorant and wants to get involved, as long as Sakura is not hit head-on by the Dust Release, what's the harm to the Tsuchikage?
Break that old guy's waist with one punch!

Sakura didn't think about what to do next, but went to the third training ground again.

After I learned the basics of the Sky Canopy Array yesterday, I was interrupted by Tsunade before I could try to use the Instant Body Technique while the Sky Canopy Array was activated.

Now we can take this opportunity to try to combine the Sky Cover Array and the Instant Body Technique together.

There is still half a month left until the third round of the Chunin Exam.

Everything is too late.

If the road is blocked, use your fist to open it!

At this moment, Rasa had almost finished his conversation with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Just as Sakura thought, Rasa didn't expect to succeed in the negotiation in one go.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen refused, he could only come back in two days to discuss the food issue with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In other words, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen was willing to cooperate, Rasa would not appreciate it.

The situation in Sand Village is different from that in Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure.

In the tenth year of peace, the Daimyo finally expanded the military budget. He must take this opportunity to take a piece of fat from the Land of Fire, otherwise it won't be long before the Sand Village will return to the point where the Daimyo withheld military funds...
