Konoha: I was living a peaceful life, but was backstabbed by the system

I don't think it will be much better. After all, all ninja villages were founded in imitation of Konoha, and it's only been a few years so it's hard to have anything new.

The group just kept moving forward like this, and apart from occasionally encountering a few stray ninjas, there wasn't any major crisis.

Everyone was lucky at night and found an oasis.

This is undoubtedly a great place to spend the night. The temperature difference in the desert at night is very large, and you might get sick if you are not careful.

Luckily, Hiruzen had asked for some coping techniques before leaving, so he was able to spend the night safely.

The next morning, everyone set out again. At Hiruzen's request, everyone quickened their pace, hoping to reach the Sand Village in the afternoon.

After traveling at high speed for nearly half a day, a place similar to a valley finally appeared on the distant horizon.

"Look everyone, it should be there! Let's go faster!"

Hiruzen reminded his companions.

Everyone still had plenty of energy, so they all increased their speed a little bit again.

As they got closer to the 'valley', everyone became happy because they were certain that it was the Sand Village.

It was exactly as Hashirama-sama had described.

In order to withstand the desert storms and raging sand, a huge sand-proof wall was built around the village, forming the unique symbol of the Sand Village.

When they were only a thousand meters away from the Sand Village, everyone slowed down and began to regulate their breathing.

“Remember not to act condescendingly towards people from other villages and don’t cause unnecessary trouble.”

Hiruzen repeatedly reminded his companions that when they were out in the field, it was not like being in the village, so it was better to have less trouble than more.

Everyone understands this principle.

Before everyone reached the village gate, a ninja threw a kunai from the dark, landing in front of Hiruzen's feet.

This means that if you go any further, you will be attacked.

I think the other party must have known that Hiruzen and others are Konoha ninjas, so they warned them.

"We are ninjas from the Hidden Leaf Village. We are here under the order of the Hokage to invite the Kazekage to Konoha to attend the Five Kage Summit."

A voice came from somewhere: "How to prove yourself."

Then Hiruzen pulled out from his bosom a letter written by Hashirama himself, with the content drafted by Tobirama. Of course, it was just a copy.

A gust of wind blew by, and the letter in Hiruzen's hand was blown away. Hiruzen had no intention of chasing after it.

Then a group of ninjas from the Sand Village emerged from the yellow sand and surrounded Hiruzen and others!

A young man stepped forward from the crowd. It was obvious that he was the leader of the group, holding the letter that was blown away in his hand.

"I am Ebizo, a jonin from the Sand Village. Please follow me."

He then turned around and led a group of Sand Village ninjas back to the village.

Hiruzen and the others immediately followed upon seeing this.

In this way, even if we successfully enter the Sand Village, the mission will be half completed.

And there was no conflict, which made everyone happiest. Who likes fighting and killing all day long?

Try to do as little as possible when you can just talk about it.

When Hiruzen and his party arrived at the gate of the Sand Village, they could see how thick the sand-proof wall was!

It was more than ten times thicker than the small valley before, and it took some time just to pass through the wall and enter the village.

"You have come from afar, I will help you arrange a place to stay for a rest."

Ebizo said, his voice was not cold, and even had a very comfortable feeling.

It was as if we had known each other before.

"When will we meet with Lord Kazekage?" Hiruzen asked.

Ebizo smiled slightly and said, "You will be arranged to meet Lord Kazekage tomorrow, please don't worry."

Hiruzen didn't say anything more after hearing that. Keep urging him would not get any results, but would make people feel impolite.

You must not tarnish the image of Konoha Village when you go out.

Finally, we passed through the sand-proof wall of the Sand Village and officially saw the entire picture of the Sand Village.

The buildings in the entire village seem to be built on sand foundations, looking like strange-shaped small sand dunes.

Ebizo turned to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen and his group and said, "Dear guests from Konoha Village, welcome to the Sand Village."

Chapter 76: The First Kazekage Retsuto

Ebizo turned to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen and his group and said, "Dear guests from Konoha Village, welcome to the Sand Village."

Everyone thanked him and continued walking in the village with Ebizo. The large group of ninjas who had followed them before had disappeared.

After all, you've already arrived at someone else's lair. Are you afraid that you will cause trouble?

Qufeng took a rough look at the entire village. The structure was not much different from Konoha. The center should be where the Kazekage's office was.

Residents' houses are scattered everywhere, and everyone walking on the street has brown skin.

It is obviously caused by years of exposure to the sun.

The people here, both men and women, wear long gowns and scarves, and their clothes are very simple.

If compared to Konoha, it could be said to be ugly, but I guess there was no point in having nice clothes here.

In less than half a year, the wind and sand will wear it out and you won’t be able to tell the style anymore.

The various customs created by generations of desert people in order to coexist with wind and sand are definitely the most reasonable.

Ebizo led Hiruzen and the others to a fairly exquisite small building.

"This is where we stay to entertain our distinguished guests. Please take a rest for the night and wait for the summons from Lord Kazekage tomorrow."

Then Ebizo left, and Hiruzen and the others pushed open the door and looked out.

The small building is very neat and exquisite, completely different from the layout and style of Konoha! Full of exotic style.

Many of the rooms in the building were also clean and tidy. Just as Ebizo said, they should be places for entertaining guests.

The only drawback is that although there is a place to take a shower, there is no water.

Everyone can understand that there is not even enough water to drink in the desert, so how can you still think about taking a shower?

This is a bit too luxurious.

The boys are not too interested in these things, as long as they have a place to live.

But Xiaochun and Zhili carefully observed every furnishing in the room, and found everything they saw very novel.

"I say, what kind of person do you think the Kazekage is?" Hiruzen suddenly asked for no reason.

After hearing what Hiruzen said, Koharu immediately said, "Who cares about him? We don't obey his orders. We are just here to deliver a letter."

"I'm just asking. I'm free now anyway."

Danzo thought for a moment and then said, "He who can build a village and manage it in an orderly manner is definitely not a simple person."

Then he added: "But compared to Hokage-sama, there is a huge difference."

Qu Feng nodded secretly. This statement was indeed true for the first generation of Kages from other villages.

I'm afraid my master could crush one of them to death with just one finger.

Speaking of the shadows of the Sand Village, there don't seem to be many that are particularly outstanding.

The first Kazekage gave up the tailed beasts during the Five Kage Summit and demanded a large sum of money and a fertile land from Hashirama.

Hashirama really gave it to him foolishly!

But later, perhaps due to lack of management, they became independent and became the Kingdom of Rivers.

The second generation invented puppetry, which gave the Sand Village a foothold. At last, they had a secret technique to keep up.

The third and fourth Kazekage were the most outrageous. The third generation sent Scorpion's parents to attack Konoha, but they were killed by Hatake Sakumo.

When Scorpion grew up, he secretly killed the Third Generation when he wasn't paying attention, and even made his body into a figurine.

The Fourth Hokage, Gaara's biological father, worked with Orochimaru to plan the collapse of Konoha, but was killed by Orochimaru...

No wonder the Sand Village is the weakest among the five major ninja villages. How can the village be strong if the leader is problematic?

Xiaochun stretched and said, "Give the letter to Fengying tomorrow, and we can go back to the village. These past few days have been really tiring."

Everyone agreed with this; taking a long journey to the Wind Country was much more tiring than capturing the tailed beasts.

However, everyone felt happy again when they thought that they had participated in the first Five Kage Summit in history.

All the tiredness was forgotten.

Qufeng and Zhili wanted to go out for a walk, but they thought that they were unfamiliar with the place.

It would be so embarrassing if I got lost. It would be too conspicuous for a Konoha ninja to wander around the Sand Village.

It’s better to keep a low profile.

Since they couldn't get out anyway, they sat together to discuss the meeting with Fengying tomorrow and how to deal with it if an accident really happened.

All this happened until it got dark, and then we went back to the house to sleep.

I have to say that this sand-and-soil house has a pretty good thermal insulation effect, and I didn’t feel very cold when I slept there all night.

On the second day, around noon, Ebizo came to the small building where Hiruzen and others were resting.

He knocked on the door three times gently, then said, "Guests from Konoha Village, the Kazekage-sama is summoning you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's response came from inside the building, so Ebizo did not disturb him and waited quietly outside the door.

It didn't take long for everyone to get dressed.

Hiruzen opened the door and nodded to Ebizo, "Please take us there."

Everyone followed Ebizo to the building in the center of the village.

It is worth mentioning that Qufeng unlocked Ebizo’s character card last night and was rewarded with 500 calmness points.

I just don't know how much peace the first-generation Kazekage Reito can provide him.
