Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 318 Kazekage Temari

"Lord Hokage."

Chiyo and the other four stood up in unison to greet them, including the usually aloof Gaara.

"Please sit down."

Natsume nodded slightly and then went to the top.

Chiyo and the others sat down again.

There was no objection to him sitting in the main seat.

"Lord Fengying."

Natsume asked directly, "I heard things aren't very peaceful inside Sunagakure?"

Luo Sha's smile froze, and his face turned pale instantly.

The other four people were also a little scared.

They had previously discussed whether Konoha would take advantage of this great victory to bring Sunagakure under its control.

Asking this question now will undoubtedly frighten them.

"A little."

Rasa broke out in a cold sweat. "But please rest assured, Hokage, we won't cause any trouble."

In short, the goal is to prevent Konoha from interfering.

"Rats are usually very difficult to deal with."

Natsume knew he had misunderstood, but he didn't explain. Instead, he said, "I do have a solution."

"Please speak."

Luo Sha hesitated for a second, but ultimately dared not refuse.

"Those people in Sunagakure are dissatisfied with Konoha's dominance, so let's be even more domineering."

Natsume chuckled softly.

But Luo Sha had completely frozen.

What does it mean to be even more assertive?

Should Sunagakure be completely incorporated into Konoha?

"How about we make Temari the Kazekage?"

Natsume continued to ask.

"what?"

Temari subconsciously looked up and exclaimed in surprise.

Of course, it wasn't just her; Chiyo, Rasa, Kankuro, and Gaara were all victims of the same accident.

The first three are quite obvious.

"You mean Temari?"

After finally calming down, Luo Sha said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Her age and strength are not enough to serve as the Kazekage."

"That's precisely why all those people hiding in the shadows can be exposed."

Natsume crossed his arms and explained.

"But……"

Luo Sha hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Normally, the next Kazekage would indeed be chosen from Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari.

But that's more than a decade from now, not now.

He could imagine the reaction of Sunagakure after the news was sent back.

There's a good chance a mutiny will break out on the spot.

After all, Temari cannot win over the masses, and for Konoha to interfere in the selection of the Kazekage is far too domineering and humiliating.

Ninjas, though flexible and adaptable, also possess a fierce spirit.

"Grandma Chiyo, what do you think?"

Rasa couldn't make a decision, so he could only look to Chiyo.

In terms of prestige in Sunagakure, he, as the Kazekage, was actually inferior to hers.

Chiyo was silent for a moment, then asked, "Hokage-sama, if those rats jump out, should we handle them?"

Now that Konoha Village is powerful, they naturally dare not offend it.

Therefore, she thought that if Natsume didn't interfere, it would be worth a try.

Luo Sha's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro are all currently in Konoha Village and cannot return.

The subsequent actions will be the sole responsibility of Sunagakure.

It's actually a good thing to let Temari be the Kazekage.

At least one person came back.

Perhaps this opportunity will allow us to transfer Gaara and Kankuro back.

As for the position of Kazekage, in the current situation, what difference does it make whether one holds the position or not?

Anyway, we're all living under someone else's roof.

"Naturally, you should handle it."

Natsume said matter-of-factly, "Konoha has no right to interfere in the affairs of your Sunagakure."

"..."

Chiyo was speechless.

"In that case, let's do as the Hokage says."

Rasa picked up the conversation, saying, "When we get back, we'll announce Temari as the new Kazekage."

Temari was completely dumbfounded.

She never imagined that she would become the Kazekage.

And this is happening at such a young age.

He is even younger than the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

It's like a windfall.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that being the Wind Shadow was a difficult job.

Beset by internal and external troubles.

Konoha Village, in particular, is far too powerful.

Sunagakure Village can only tread on thin ice.

Temari was initially a little excited, but she quickly calmed down.

"Grandma Chiyo".

Natsume brought up the second matter, "We captured members of the Akatsuki in Kirigakure before, one of whom is connected to your Sunagakure."

"Who is it?"

Chiyo and Rasa exchanged a glance, and both could see the unease in each other's eyes.

They didn't know who it was.

But as long as they are ninjas from Sunagakure, even former ones, it's enough for Konoha to make a fuss about them.

"Sasori of the Red Sand".

Natsume said in a calm tone.

"What?!"

Chiyo immediately stood up, her face filled with shock.

Sasori is her grandson and the most talented puppeteer in Sunagakure.

After defecting, he disappeared without a trace, and no one expected him to join the Akatsuki organization.

But what's worse is that it's now in the hands of Konoha Village.

"How about we make a deal?"

Natsume smiled faintly and said, "I'm returning Sasori to you. In return, Temari must marry a ninja from Konoha."

"No!"

Kankuro said instinctively.

"Shut up."

Luo Sha glared at him, somewhat frightened.

Although he was unwilling, how could he dare to contradict Natsume to his face?

Temari was startled and instinctively clenched her clothes.

"Don't worry."

Natsume assured her, "I won't force her. She can marry whoever she likes."

"What if there isn't one?"

Luo Sha asked hesitantly.

"No, then just stay in Konoha Village and do missions as before."

Natsume said casually.

"But if she becomes the Wind Shadow, won't it be inconvenient for her to travel back and forth?"

Luo Sha forced himself to remain calm and continued to ask.

"It's okay."

Natsume waved his hand and said, "It will be convenient soon. I plan to build a fast passage."

aisle?

Luo Sha was puzzled.

Natsume offered no explanation.

Well, how should I put it?

With Kaguya Otsutsuki and some advanced technology, such as the airships of the Land of Snow, shortening the time would be a piece of cake.

Previously, it would take about three days for a ninja to travel from Konoha to Sunagakure.

After the renovation, the time will be reduced to half a day, which is no problem at all.

"How about this deal?"

Natsume looked at the two of them and said, "If that doesn't work, then I'll have to kill Sasori."

"Can."

Chiyo immediately agreed.

Seeing this, Luo Sha nodded as well.

What does Sunagakure lack most right now?

He is a strongman.

Scorpions undoubtedly meet this standard.

Even if he defected, it would be negligible compared to the fact that Konoha Village is an external enemy.

"There's one more thing."

Natsume spoke up, "We will retrieve Shukaku while ensuring Gaara's life."

"This won't do!"

Luo Sha immediately stood up.

"This is not a discussion, it's a notification."

Natsume glanced at him and said.

Luo Sha immediately felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"We will cooperate."

Chiyo took a deep breath and said.

Natsume nodded and left the meeting room.

The five of them were left dumbfounded.

Today's conversation will turn Sunagakure upside down.

But sadly, they were powerless to do anything about it.

Natsume returned to the Hokage's office.

The air became fresh again.

The floor and everything else were also wiped quite clean.

However, Kurenai did not wake up.
