Moreover, the defeated country was the tiny country of Yuzhi Country.

This also led many people in the Wind Country to believe that this news was just a rumor and nonsense.

How could the Sand Village, which represents the military power of the Wind Country among the five major countries, be defeated by a ninja village in a tiny country that is famous in the ninja world for its hot spring tourism industry?

They denounced the person who spread the news.

"Reverse Tian Gang!"

"It's simply the opposite of Tian Gang!"

"How could the ninjas of Sunagakure be defeated by the ninjas of the Land of Hot Springs? You guys must have misheard the information, which is why the rumors spread!"

"..."

As the rumors spread, the disputes among the people of Wind Country became more and more intense.

However, more people who deeply love the Wind Country have denounced this rumor, and only a small number of Wind Country people who are not afraid of trouble insist on the authenticity of this news.

Unfortunately, with the silence of the top leaders of the Sand Village, the authenticity of this news has begun to increase.

As some people living in the Sand Village spread what they saw and heard in various towns in the Wind Country, the entire Wind Country quickly fell into panic.

"Fengying Luosha returned to the village with thousands of defeated soldiers and unexpectedly chose to close the door to visitors!"

"Sunagakure Advisory Elder Ebizo has been missing for several days!"

"Sunagakure Advisor Chiyo is dead!"

"The One-Tailed Jinchuriki of Sunagakure has died!"

"Maki, the elite jonin of Sand Village, is dead!"

"Sagakure Elite Jonin..."

"..."

Such solid news is no longer groundless.

This also made the vast majority of Wind Country people, who believed it was a rumor, start to become anxious.

Even if they believed in the strength of the Sand Village in their hearts, when more and more people from the Sand Village began to speak out, the people of the Wind Country had to start accepting this unbelievable fact.

The most important thing is that not even a single Sand Village ninja came out to deny the authenticity of this news!

Even if it's just a Genin!

As long as he stands up and scolds, most people will support him without hesitation.

but.

The Sand Village ninjas are not alone, they also have family and friends.

The relatives of the Sand Ninjas who died in the Fire Nation battle could no longer bear it. They took advantage of the rumors to denounce the incompetence of the Sand Ninja high-level officials, which killed nearly 10,000 Sand Ninjas!

They began to gather and surround the Fengying Building, wanting to force Fengying Luosha to come out and give them an explanation.

But in fact, their main purpose is to get the pension for their own ninjas who died on the battlefield.

But how could Luosha, or the Sand Village at this time, come up with such a huge compensation?

The prices in Sand Village are very expensive.

After all, things are rare and valuable.

In a village like this, even a meal costs hundreds of taels.

Even if a Sand Village Genin dies, Luosha can be so cruel as to only pay 1000 taels to the relatives, and Chunin

Two, Jonin

【Qingsi Novel Transfer Station 819719896】

two.

But even if you calculate it this way, with nearly 10,000 Sand Village ninjas killed in the battle, the Sand Village will have to pay at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of taels in compensation!

If it were normal times, it would be fine. Luo Sha could pay the money by tightening his belt.

But the war supplies prepared before were gathered with the last resources and savings of the Sand Village!

In addition, Luo Sha had lost countless gold sand in that battle before. Even if he wanted to sell the gold sand at a low price to exchange for money, it would be like a good cook cannot cook without rice - it is impossible!

but!

In order to stabilize the last foundation of the Sand Village, that is, the people's hearts.

Luo Sha still chose to show up.

He solemnly promised that he would distribute the compensation to the relatives of every ninja who died in battle within three days!

Genin

【Qingsi Novel Transfer Station 819719896】

Two! Chunin

【Qingsi Novel Transfer Station 819719896】

Two! Jonin

【Qingsi Novel Transfer Station 819719896】

two!

He had to do this.

Even if he sold all his gold, even if he had to pan for gold in the desert day and night for three consecutive days!

With Luo Sha's wisdom, he was very clear about this.

The thousands of ninjas left in the Sand Village are already filled with resentment because of the crushing defeat, and are in panic because of the deaths of their high-ranking officials in battle.

If he couldn't even arrange adequate compensation for the ninjas who died in battle, then they would become even more angry and dissatisfied with him as the Kazekage, and eventually become alienated from him, or even choose to become rebels.

The current situation in Sunagakure is like a lit torch.

Luo Sha knew that he needed to quickly pour a basin of water to calm people down.

In order to keep his position as Kazekage, it doesn't matter if it's a bit hard and tiring.

......

the other side.

As the Wind Country fell into chaos, undercurrents were also surging in Konoha Village.

As soon as he returned to the village, Minato Namikaze, as the Hokage, issued a war warning to all the ninjas in the village.

Not only did they send several times more ninjas than before to gather intelligence outside the village, they even arranged for the sixth-year students of the ninja school, who were not due to graduate until next summer, to graduate early at the end of the year.

This was done just to free up some Konoha ninjas to transport supplies.

Not only that, Minato Namikaze also sent out large numbers of reconnaissance teams to guard the outskirts of Konoha Village to ensure that they could discover the enemy as soon as possible.

However, if this were to happen, the actions of the Konoha ninjas would no longer be hidden from the Konoha villagers.

"Minato, is this really necessary?"

In the Hokage's office, Jiraiya couldn't help but wonder aloud.

Faced with the rampant public opinion in the village, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Although Shangguan Mo defeated the Sand Village with his summoned beasts, Jiraiya could easily guess from the fact that he did not continue to launch a decisive battle against their Konoha ninja troops that the other party must have paid a huge price in the battle with the Sand Village.

"Besides, Konoha isn't the Sand Village, with only a few big and small cats... I don't think Shangguan Mo would have the guts to come knocking on our door!"

Jiraiya didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea.

......

Chapter 502 Master and Disciple

However, in response to the teacher's questioning, Minato Namikaze refuted him mercilessly.

"No! Teacher, you don't understand Shangguan Mo. Hidden beneath his honest and dutiful exterior is a growing ambition!"

He shook his head sternly at Jiraiya and continued, "In his eyes, a large ninja village like Konoha isn't sacred and inviolable! Sensei, you're a ninja who experienced the Rain Country Rebellion. Have you forgotten who started the Second Shinobi World War?"

Jiraiya's expression changed. "You mean... Shangguan Mo will be the next Hanzo!?"

"Isn't it?" Namikaze Minato asked back.

"I'm just doing this as a precaution. Even if it causes some villagers to worry, it's not really that important."

In order to avoid embarrassing his teacher, Minato Namikaze actually had something he didn't say to Jiraiya.

Due to the war and Sarutobi Hiruzen's serious injury, the power he controlled, including the ninja clans who had always supported him and a considerable number of ANBU ninjas, was now being tested by Minato Namikaze through assigning tasks to these ninjas to test their obedience, and he successfully controlled them step by step.

Although it seemed that he was taking advantage of the situation and was merciless, Minato Namikaze did not think there was anything wrong with what he did.

Hokage means the greatest voice in the ninja village.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, with the capital of having served as Hokage for decades, still held on to some power in his hands after leaving office. In the end, with the support of these people and his previous prestige, he became a hindrance to Namikaze Minato's rule.

It was okay for a day or two, but over time, even with his good temper, it was unbearable.

Without the support of the Uchiha, he, the Fourth Hokage, would even seem like a figurehead in Konoha Village!

This also means that Minato Namikaze's orders finally became the only voice in Konoha.

Although he used some tricks and took advantage of the impending war and the serious injuries of the third generation, he finally achieved this.

Because the means were indeed somewhat dishonorable, Minato Namikaze was too embarrassed to talk about them with his teacher Jiraiya.

"I'm not sure if Shangguan Mo is the next Hanzo, but you definitely underestimated his determination to start a war!"

In the office, Namikaze Minato pointed at the map of the Ninja World on the table and said with confidence.

Jiraiya took a deep breath and looked in the direction his disciple pointed.

That place belongs to the northern area of ​​the map. The small dot that Minato Namikaze pointed to is an inconspicuous little place in the ninja world!

That is the country of hot springs, famous for its tourism industry.
