In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

Tenma, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Gaara finally crossed the desert and arrived at Sunagakure.

Granny Chiyo, along with Maki, Kankuro, and Temari, were waiting for them at the village entrance.

Upon seeing the two of them approach, Granny Chiyo stepped forward.

"Is this Lord Tianyu? We received the message a while ago and have been waiting here. Please follow us in."

Granny Chiyo glanced at him, and Gaara seemed somewhat surprised.

It seems a bit strange that I didn't put the chains and sealing spells on Gaara.

Fortunately, everyone has been safely returned.

So Grandma Chiyo wouldn't say anything more.

Temari and Kankuro even glanced at Gaara.

They are Gaara's older brother and sister, and there is still some familial affection between them.

I'm also very worried about Gaara's current condition.

However, Maki was even more shocked.

Because he saw with his own eyes that Kisame, who was supposed to be invading Konoha, was now following behind Tengo like a lackey.

The contrast left him momentarily stunned.

It wasn't until Granny Chiyo glared at her fiercely that she realized she was following behind.

"Well, let's go!"

Tenyu nodded and followed them into Sunagakure.

To be honest, this was the first time Tenyu had ever been to Sunagakure.

Sure enough, there was yellow sand everywhere. There were no tall buildings in this village. The only four-story building was the office of the Kazekage.

As for the houses on the street, they were all built in the shape of fortresses to protect against wind and sand.

There were very few plants on the street.

Compared to the beautiful scenery of Konoha, this place is simply a desert, a barren wasteland.

However, there is still a small stream in Sunagakure.

This is a rare water source.

Chapter 201 Another Alliance

The Sand Village is not very large.

Standing on high ground, you can see the edge at a glance.

However, what's rare is that another part of Sunagakure is close to the sea, which is quite a unique terrain.

This would also allow Sunagakure to obtain some resources from the ocean, preventing them from being trapped in the desert.

The port here can also bring them economic income.

Fortunately, there are still many ninjas here, which prevents the yellow sand from engulfing the village.

"Gaara, how are you? Are you alright?"

Temari, being the older sister, could never truly ignore Gaara.

Even so, she still feared Gaara.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry about the past."

Gaara shook his head, and then said "I'm sorry" in a very soft voice.

However, Temari and Kankuro still managed to hear it.

"Ah, it's alright."

The two seemed surprised that Gaara would say such a thing, and after a moment of stunned silence, they quickly shook their heads.

Then they walked together to Granny Chiyo's side.

Fengying's office.

This place is different from the Hokage's office in Konoha.

They have completely different styles.

The only thing that's the same is that the office walls are covered with photos of past Fengying (a high-ranking official in charge of the Fengying).

The photo of the previous Fengying had only been posted for a short time.

There is currently no Kazekage in Sunagakure.

For the time being, everything is in Chiyo's hands.

"This is the compensation offered by Konoha. We have already raised it. Please take a look."

After ordering tea to be served, Granny Chiyo dismissed all unrelated people from the room.

Then he took out five scrolls.

These five scrolls each contain the compensation demanded by Konoha.

There were explosive tags, food, various medicinal herbs, and some weapons.

These are important strategic resources for any village.

Tenyu glanced at it and found that the quantity matched Konoha's requirements.

Moreover, perhaps because she was worried about a shortage, Granny Chiyo gave a significantly larger quantity than Konoha had offered.

"Hmm, not bad, you've been very thoughtful. Now that you've given us the items and Gaara has returned them, what about the matter concerning the Sand Village's attack on Konoha..."

At this point, Tianyu paused, looked up, and glanced at the expressions of the people around him.

Grandma Chiyo was clearly a little nervous.

Maki, however, was somewhat looking forward to what Tianyu was about to say.

Temari and Kankuro seemed still reeling from Gaara's earlier apology to them.

They were still in a daze.

"The past is wiped clean, and Konoha will not pursue your responsibilities any further. However, if you ever dare to harbor any ill intentions towards Konoha again, Konoha will absolutely not tolerate it. Next time, you may face Konoha's revenge, and in severe cases, your village may even be wiped out!"

Tianyu said with a smile.

However, the words he said with a smile instantly made the faces of those around him turn serious.

"Yes, we were deceived this time as well. We lost many ninjas and even the Fourth Kazekage died. However, this was due to our ambition, so we can't blame anyone else. We'll take this as a lesson and never do it again in the future."

Grandma Chiyo nodded.

"Yes, yes, we will never do that again. We will stay in the Land of Wind and develop our village quietly. We will never think of attacking Konoha again."

Maki echoed what Granny Chiyo said.

After all, Konoha is not a place they can afford to mess with right now.

"Well, although it may seem a bit unreasonable to say this, I would like to ask one more question: Is it possible for Konoha to sign an alliance agreement with Sunagakure once again?"

Grandma Chiyo said with a hint of helplessness.

The village has spent a lot of resources to secure Konoha's decision not to retaliate against Sunagakure.

However, the village's fighting force is now reduced to only a few Jonin. Fortunately, Gaara, the Jinchūriki, has finally been brought back.

Otherwise, the fighting strength of Sunagakure would be pitifully small.

Currently, the other villages dare not attack Konoha, but the Sand Village is too weak now. If it is attacked by the other villages of the Five Great Nations, it probably won't be able to hold out.

So, in addition to making themselves stronger, they also want to form an alliance with Konoha once again.

In this way, other villages will also choose not to attack Sunagakure out of consideration for Konoha.

In any case, this is their best option right now.

Of course, this is based on Konoha's consent.

"You still want to sign an alliance agreement with Konoha!"

Tianyu found it funny.

Konoha and Sunagakure were indeed allies, but Sunagakure easily betrayed Konoha, turning against them from behind.

They actually want to form an alliance with Konoha now.

Although Tianyu understood their current predicament, he still felt anger burning within him.

However, Tianyu also understood that the development of the village could not be swayed by emotions.

"We'll need to discuss this with the Hokage before we can get an answer, so let's talk about the alliance when I get back. I know the Sand Village is in dire need of strengthening itself, but please don't go astray or have any ulterior motives, or the consequences will be even worse, right Kisame?"

Tenyu smiled and turned to look at Kisame.

Kisame seemed to recall being used as a beach volleyball, and after shuddering, he nodded.

"We understand. Since it's getting late, we've prepared accommodations for you in the village. Please get a good night's rest tonight and head back safely tomorrow. Or, if Lord Tenyu would like to explore the Land of Wind, we can accompany you. All your expenses here will be covered by the Sand Village."

When Granny Chiyo heard that Tengo hadn't ruled out the possibility of an alliance, she knew there was still hope.

So he smiled and made arrangements with Tianyu.

"Well, let's go."

Tianyu nodded, quite satisfied with the arrangement.

Machi led them toward their lodgings.

Throughout the journey, Maki kept asking Tianyu questions.

What's the current situation of Konoha's First and Second Hokage, and what's the state of the village?

Why are you asking these questions?

Tianyu looked at Maji and asked with a half-smile.

"No, I just admire the First Hokage. I've heard that the First Hokage was called the God of Shinobi, and he even defeated Madara Uchiha and established Konoha. So, the ninja system of the country and the village was first established by the First Hokage. I admire him very much, so I really hope to meet the First Hokage one day."
