Not knowing what Uzumaki Kinai was thinking, Li Mo nodded to show that he understood the other party's order. He looked at her and then at Uzumaki Karin, who was still a cute little loli, and waved his hand and announced directly to Uzumaki Kinai and her daughter:

"Kina and Karin? Nice names. You will be my subordinates from now on!"

Chapter 63 Subsequent Impact

Li Mo's behavior was very willful, but Uzumaki Kinai had no room to refuse. Even though she had been provided with food and lodging by the Kusagakure Village these days, even the husband she had been looking for was killed by a ninja in front of her. She had a strong sense of crisis in her heart and urgently needed to find a stable Tifa.

There is no way, the ninja world is a place where the strong prey on the weak. After carefully analyzing the so-called hot-blooded manga "Naruto", you will find that the so-called ninja is actually no different from the soldiers who wield guns. The only difference is that one has extraordinary powers, and the other has no extraordinary powers but masters modern weapons. Excluding extremely rare exceptions, how soldiers from modern countries behave in enemy countries or their own countries can be understood by looking at the daily news reports of American soldiers.

In the world of "Naruto", the ninjas of each ninja village rarely cause any trouble when performing their daily tasks except completing their tasks. However, during the Ninja World War, the ninjas of Konoha, the leader of the five major ninja villages, killed innocent civilians. The moral bottom line of the ninjas of other ninja villages can be imagined.

Anyway, Uzumaki Kasana had no good impression of the Kusagakure Village. She struggled to survive in that remote village in the Land of Grass. Together with her husband, she gave birth to and raised a daughter, Uzumaki Karin. Her originally peaceful life, which was somewhat poor, was disrupted by the flames of the Third Ninja World War. A team of Kusagakure ninjas who went out to investigate the war situation came to this remote village. The team leader happened to be an experienced Kusagakure jonin, who recognized Uzumaki Kasana's identity. As a result, she and her daughter Uzumaki Karin were captured and temporarily detained in the Kusagakure Village. Her husband died at the hands of the Kusagakure ninjas in order to protect the mother and daughter.

It can be said that Uzumaki Kinai didn't trust the people of the Kusagakure Village at all. However, she knew even more clearly that as a survivor of the Uzumaki clan who had chakra but no ninjutsu, sealing techniques and other means, she had no capital to speak in front of the Kusagakure Village at all. She even hesitated whether to reveal her ability to heal injuries, just to give herself and her daughter a little more chance of survival.

Uzumaki Kinana was actually right. If Li Mo had not rescued her and Uzumaki Karin in time, she would have been bitten to death by the Grass Ninjas in a few years at most because of her exhausted vitality. Even Uzumaki Karin almost suffered the same fate, but now her fate was changed by Li Mo's intervention!

………………

"Is that guy gone?"

"Looks like he's gone?!"

"He really left the village..."

When Li Mo took Uzumaki Kinai and her daughter to leave the Kusagakure Village, it took almost half an hour before someone brave enough realized that the situation outside seemed too quiet, so he quietly looked outside, and then someone went out to confirm that it was safe.

There is no doubt that there are still some brave people. Even ordinary people staying in the Kusanagi Village, they are worried in their hearts but it is impossible for them to stay at home. It was as if they confirmed that it was too quiet outside. When the first brave guy tried to go out and did not encounter any accidents, more villagers in the Kusanagi Village bravely went out, and some of them were even ninjas from the Kusanagi Village.

The reason is very simple. Those few Kusagakure ninjas are not hiding in Kusagakure because they are brave. It's simply because they can't leave their families in Kusagakure. You should know that a ninja village is equivalent to a semi-militarized area. In terms of security, it should be said that it is the strongest area in the entire country (perhaps one of the strongest). The villagers living in Kusagakure are actually related to Kusagakure like other ninja villages. At least they are people who contribute money and effort, otherwise they are not qualified to stay in the relatively safe Kusagakure.

Li Mo's wanton killing just now frightened the group of surviving Grass Ninjas. But apart from those Grass Ninjas who were really scared and ran away desperately, there were still some Grass Ninjas who ran back to their homes. Even if they died, they wanted to die with their families. However, Li Mo was too lazy to do anything afterwards, and took Uzumaki Kinai away without caring about anything else, making their efforts in vain.

Now, the Kusanagi who stayed behind were pleasantly surprised to find that the Grim Reaper who was seeking their lives had actually left. The worst outcome they had expected did not happen, and they and their families had successfully survived!

"What do we do now?"

When the Kusagakure ninjas who remained in Kusagakure found out that Li Mo had really left the village, they were briefly happy, and then suddenly looked at each other, not knowing what to do at this time, until a Kusagakure ninja with a more straightforward temper broke the silence.

"... Let's clean up the situation in the village first, collect the bodies of our fallen companions, and then find a way to contact the others!"

After hearing what the Grass Ninja said, the Grass Ninjas who gathered looked at each other. After a while of silence, a Grass Ninja who was particularly senior spoke up and directly gave the most appropriate choice at the moment. Then, with a wry smile on his face, he looked at his companions around him and said very directly: "As for the idea of ​​revenge, I don't think anyone wants to die so much, right?"

In response to the words of this special jonin, the other grass ninjas first agreed with his suggestion for how to deal with the situation. Then, when they heard that he was not going to consider taking revenge on Li Mo, the powerful foreign invader, the other grass ninjas looked at each other without saying a word. Even if some of them wanted to take revenge in their hearts, they would calm down when they thought about the sharp sword light.

As the remaining Kusagakure ninjas reached a consensus, they began to help clean up the corpses and damaged houses and buildings. Soon, some Kusagakure ninjas contacted their companions who had escaped. Those Kusagakure ninjas who learned that Li Mo had left Kusagakure ninjas quickly came back. They all tacitly did not mention their escape actions. Then, after several surviving special jonin and a jonin discussed with each other, they agreed to conceal the news. Otherwise, the news would be too severe a blow to Kusagakure ninja and must not be leaked out.

After all, it is still the period of the Third Ninja World War, and the Kusanagi Village had originally been tried to be won over by several large ninja villages, and it was barely able to remain neutral by relying on the advantage of being a local ninja. But if the news that a strong man had directly defeated the ninja village spread, the face of the Kusanagi Village would surely be thrown to the ground and trampled on. Knowing this, the Kusanagi Village tacitly concealed what had just happened, and completely pretended that Li Mo had never been to the Kusanagi Village.

As for the other major ninja villages, they didn't notice the changes in the situation inside the Kusagakure Village. It's not that they don't have the reconnaissance capability, it's simply that the Kusagakure Village, which is a fence-sitter, is not worthy of their attention. But they would pay attention to the Rain Village if it were them!

……

[Tsk tsk, the Kusagakure Village is really cowardly, but it’s also a good thing. Anyway, the people and things are already in hand, so this small ninja village has no value! ]

On the other hand, Li Mo took Uzumaki Kinai and her daughter with him and directly brought them to the old land of Whirlpool Country using the [Shadow Kingdom]. He asked someone to explain the general situation to the two new subordinates and to settle them down. While controlling several Kusagakure ninjas with the help of the [Fusion Seed], he noticed that the Kusagakure Village's response was a bit speechless. With the harvest in hand, he did not continue to care about the situation in Kusagakure Village.

After all, the only things that caught Li Mo's attention in Kusagakure Village were Uzumaki Kinai and Uzumaki Karin, the surviving mother and daughter of the Uzumaki clan, and the "Box of Paradise" that had appeared in the movie. Li Mo, who had obtained the soul of the leader of Kusagakure Village, directly took away this thing that was still kept in the secret room in the basement of Kusagakure Village.

As for controlling the Kusagakure Village?

Sorry, Li Mo has a clear understanding of his own strength and sphere of influence. Under the circumstances that the Third Ninja World War has not yet ended, controlling the Kusagakure Village would only make things difficult for himself. If he really gets trapped in it, it would be difficult to get out.

The reason is very simple. The Land of Grass is the main battlefield of the three Ninja World Wars. Villages like Iwagakure, Konohagakure and Kumogakure may try to win over the Land of Grass to their side and want to be a fence-sitter instead of being destroyed. That's because the Land of Grass had excellent means in the past and its own strength was weak. Li Mo wanted to invest a lot of resources here but he would be easily discovered. Investing a small amount of resources would not be cost-effective and would be a piece of chicken ribs that would be tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

Therefore, Li Mo simply took away the mother and daughter Uzumaki Kinai and Uzumaki Karin, who he had taken a fancy to, and also took away the still sealed [Box of Paradise] and some information. The Kusagakure Village and the Land of Grass didn't care at all!

Chapter 64: Treasure Hunt in Ninja World

Li Mo was not interested in the future fate of the Grass Ninjas and the Grass Ninja Village. Just as the ninja world was extremely cruel to many people, people without power could not decide their own destiny at all and could be slaughtered at will by others like lambs!

Compared to the present world before Li Mo traveled through and several other different worlds, the world of Naruto ranks as one of the most dangerous. If you are neither a ninja nor a daimyo or noble, you will probably have to stay in the fields and become an exploited farmer all your life. Even if you are lucky enough to become a businessman or a ninja, the former still has to rely on the daimyo, nobles or a ninja village, and the latter can easily turn you into a cannon fodder on the battlefield.

The Kusagakure Village and the remaining few hundred Kusagakure ninjas might have been a decent force in the ninja world. In the past, the major ninja villages would have taken notice of them. Unfortunately, they were nothing during the Third Ninja World War. If the five major ninja villages had not fought for more than three years and suffered heavy losses, and if they had not been restrained by each other, any major ninja village could have easily destroyed the Kusagakure Village.

Therefore, Li Mo was too lazy to waste time in the Kusanagi Village. Before, in addition to placing spies in the ninja world and paying attention to the situations of people including Orochimaru and Black Zetsu, he was also collecting various inheritances from the five major ninja villages and other small ninja villages.

It has to be said that the inheritance of ninjutsu, illusion and taijutsu in the world of Naruto is not something that can be easily created. Anyway, Li Moguang has gained many insights into ninjutsu, illusion and taijutsu by collecting many ninja souls. Although many ninjas have not explored the essence of [Chakra], their various studies in ninjutsu, illusion and taijutsu are indeed eye-opening.

Li Mo's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. It can be said that a large part of it is due to his integration of multiple talents and special background. The rest is the result of many inheritances in the ninja world and his own efforts. Therefore, his approach to the Kusagakure is to take away what he wants and let the Kusagakure fend for itself.

As for Uzumaki Kinai and Uzumaki Karin, Li Mo temporarily settled them by his side, and then focused his energy on the treasure hunt in the ninja world!

That's right!

If it were an ordinary person, with Li Mo's strength, he would probably have started to make waves in the ninja world. However, Li Mo knew that his strength was among the top in the ninja world, but he was definitely not invincible. If he jumped out too early, he would probably be beaten by society.

Quite on the contrary, Li Mo was a social animal who had been beaten up by the modern society before he traveled through time. Naturally, he would not rashly learn from Japan to gamble on the fate of the country again and again. When the country is weak, it is understandable to gamble everything and decide the outcome by means of war, but it is a crazy act to gamble on the fate of the country again and again. Unless you think you are so lucky that you can win every time, sooner or later you will lose everything you put in with interest. Japan was so arrogant before World War II, but after World War II, it could only be a dog for godfather America, which fully illustrates the truth that long-term gambling will lead to losses!

Now, if Li Mo and the already powerful Rainbow Country were to participate in the Third Ninja World War, there is a possibility that they would swallow up a large ninja village, or they would be surrounded and beaten by other large ninja villages, or even be targeted by Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu who are not dead yet. He does not want to try the combat power of the hidden boss behind the scenes immediately.

Taking the current situation into consideration and because time is on his side, Li Mo decided that, apart from a few people occasionally, his target in the Ninja Continent would be to target various treasures that have appeared in the original plot of "Naruto".

For example, after Li Mo arranged the mother and daughter pair of Uzumaki Kinai and Uzumaki Karin, he placed the "Box of Paradise" in the "Shadow Kingdom" to study it when he had free time. This was something from the original anime movie of "Naruto", and it was said to be related to the Six Paths Sage, and a monster named "Satoru" was sealed inside.

Li Mo was naturally very interested in the [Box of Paradise], but he did not stop immediately to study the [Box of Paradise] that he had already obtained. Instead, he decided to take advantage of the fact that the Third Ninja World War had not yet ended and quickly get some treasures.

The special meteorite [Star] of the Star Ninja Village that can affect the changes in the properties of chakra!

The four celestial beings of the Land of Craftsmen hold the scientific ninja tools and related manufacturing methods left behind by the leader of the Land of Craftsmen!

The Hero's Water that was once owned by the once powerful Takinin Village...

It was because Li Mo knew that there were these special treasures in the Ninja World that he naturally would not act rashly during the Third Ninja World War. He directly set his sights on these treasures and searched for them one by one according to his memory.

The first one found was Takigakure, whose ancestors were also powerful for a time but declined after experiencing two Ninja World Wars. If it weren't for the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki and the specialty [Hero's Water], which made this small ninja village more difficult to deal with, it would probably end up in the same dilemma as Kusagakure. The current Takigakure can only barely maintain a reputation of neutrality, and its situation is not much better than that of Raingakure and Kusagakure.

Li Mo didn't care about the situation in Takigakure. He had no intention of attacking the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki for the time being. At most, he would collect some of the Seven-Tails' chakra first, and then get the [Hero's Water] from Takigakure. By the way, he studied the strange giant tree that produced the [Hero's Water] and found that this seemed to be a remnant root related to the [Sacred Tree]. After thousands of years, it became a sub-plant. The [Hero's Water] it absorbed consumed its own vitality to increase its chakra.

Although he was a little disappointed, Li Mo still felt that this thing had certain research value, so he directly collected some samples from the giant tree and even got a little bit of [Hero's Water] as a reserve to see if it could be used in the future.

After Takigakure, Li Mo visited Stargakure in Bear Country, Craftsman Country and Bird Country successively, and quietly took away things that interested him.

For example, the meteorite [Star] from the Star Ninja Village was taken away directly by Li Mo, as well as the records of the ninjutsu [Peacock Magic]. Even if the Star Ninja Village ninjas who studied [Star] paid the price of premature aging or even death for it, it does not mean that Li Mo's side could not solve the problem. He also helped the Star Ninja Village solve a problem.

——Anyway, in Li Mo's eyes, if the Star Ninja Village wants to dominate the world with this one trick, it is purely a manifestation of arrogance. It would be better for him to take [Star] away directly and let the Star Ninja Village continue to live in peace!

If the gains from Takigakure and Hoshigakure were not immediately useful to Li Mo, then in the Land of Craftsmen, Li Mo had made great gains. The special ninja tools and production methods he obtained made him extremely happy.

It should be noted that the Country of Craftsmen, which supplies more than 60% of the ninja tools and weapons to various countries in the ninja world, is not allowed by the five major countries to have its own ninja village. However, the former leader of the Country of Craftsmen did not want to be a craftsman all his life, and privately made several special ninja tools that could be worn by ordinary ninjas and rival the senior ninjas. He even took the manufacturing method with him into his coffin. However, before the people of the Country of Craftsmen discovered it, Li Mo had already intercepted it.

This made Li Mo very happy. He had tried to carry out industrialization in the Rainbow Country before, but manufacturing ninja tools and special ninja tools was a hassle - compared with normal industrialization, the manufacturing of ninja tools and special ninja tools in the world of Naruto required skilled craftsmen with the cooperation of chakra. It took a lot of effort just to find the right materials for a ninja tool, and the forging skills were not something that ordinary people could master. The Rainbow Country had barely solved the problems of general kunai, ninja swords and blasting talismans, but there was no way to make stronger ninja tools or special ninja tools!

The situation in the Country of Craftsmen is different. They have been forging ninja tools or special ninja tools for a long time, and the accumulated craftsmen and technology are very outstanding. Otherwise, they would not occupy nearly 60% of the ninja tools and special ninja tools in the ninja world. Even the five major ninja villages have to restrict them and are not allowed to have ninja villages. It is clear that their potential is very outstanding.

Now, Li Mo is very happy to take away all the knowledge and development process information about ninja tool forging from the Country of Craftsmen, and even scattered a lot of [Seeds of Fusion] to fuse the top craftsmen of the Country of Craftsmen. Even though those top craftsmen are easily noticed, he has made arrangements in private to transfer at least one hundred craftsmen and a small number of production facilities, preparing to transfer them directly to the Country of Rainbow for development. On the surface, it did not alarm the attention of the five major ninja villages. They never thought that someone would take over the manpower and foundation of the Country of Craftsmen so easily.

Afterwards, Li Mo, who had gained a lot from the trip to the Land of Craftsmen, set his sights on the remnants of a planned subsequent Aerial Ninja Village. In the original story of "Naruto", it was a small ninja village that was destroyed by the Konoha Village, but the technology it possessed allowed ninjas to fly in the sky, and it even had artificial tailed beasts such as the "Zero Tail" and aerial motherships, which made Li Mo value it.

However, when Li Mo had just taken down the leader and inheritance of the Sky Ninja Village in the Bird Country, a piece of news from the Wind Country diverted his attention. The reason was that the armistice agreement between the Sand Village and the Mist Village that he had been looking forward to had entered a critical moment!

Chapter 65: The Choice of Sand Village

Wind Country, Sand Village

A sudden huge sandstorm caused the Sand Village, the last of the five major ninja villages, to fall into a common desert disaster. The entire village was almost surrounded by sandstorms. Only the Sand Village, which was shrouded in a barrier, was still in a normal situation.

This barrier is actually an important support for the Sand Village to protect the village and the surrounding oasis. Although it has various defects such as high consumption and can only be used to intercept giant sandstorms, it is precious enough for the Sand Village. After all, in the Land of Wind where more than 90% of the land area is desert, many oases have been destroyed by super-large sandstorm disasters. Even in the world of Naruto, it is powerless.

After all, even if the ninjas in the world of Naruto have mastered extraordinary powers, except for a very small number of BUG-level existences, most ninjas are completely powerless in the face of natural disasters. For example, the Wind Country has not yet produced a BUG-level strongman like Hashirama Senju, so naturally they cannot withstand natural disasters such as sandstorms.

Even this giant barrier was actually the result of painstaking research by the Sand Village on the one-tailed beast Shukaku, and all the barrier and sealing techniques information they had was used to allow it to be driven with the tailed beast's chakra as power. This is already the envy of the Sand Village and even the entire Wind Country, and even the Daimyo of the Wind Country sent people to inquire about it. Unfortunately, since it involves using the tailed beast's chakra as energy, it is impossible to promote and apply it in the Wind Country at all.

However, although the giant barrier of the Sand Village diverted the sandstorm, few people would go out for fun in such weather. Those who occasionally went out of the Sand Village had dull expressions. Their patched clothes and thin appearance proved what a huge burden the more than three years of war had brought to the Sand Village and even the Kingdom of Wind. Even the Sand Village could not afford such a painful price of war.

Now, in a secret room in the Sand Village, Rasa, who serves as one of the front-line commanders, is discussing with the two siblings Chiyo and Ebizo, who are one of the real rulers of the Sand Village. The focus is on how to make the Sand Village end the Third Ninja World War that cost them a terrible price!

………………

In an underground secret room of the Sand Village, Rasa, who had quietly returned from the front line of confrontation with Konoha, looked at the brother and sister Chiyo and Ebizo. The atmosphere was very subtle and they tacitly did not say anything to each other.

As one of the two Kage-level powerhouses who emerged from the Sand Village during the Third Shinobi World War, Rasa is a junior to the two siblings, Chiyo and Ebizo, but he inherited the magnetic-style ninjutsu of the Kazekage series and successfully sublimated it to [Bloodline Limit*Magnetic-style ninjutsu]. It can be said that he is one of the candidates for the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village. Compared with Chiyo and Ebizo, the veteran Kage-level powerhouses of the Sand Village, the status of both sides is barely equal. If Rasa becomes the Fourth Kazekage, his status will be even higher.

However, now Rasa is still a younger strong man with a slightly inferior status in front of Chiyo and Ebizo. He discussed with Chiyo and Ebizo and decided to end the Third Ninja World War. If he had not reached a ceasefire alliance agreement with Konoha Village and strived for a batch of support materials from Konoha Village, he would not have had the free time to return to the Sand Village. He might still be stationed on the front line to guard against Konoha Village.

As for Ye Cang, who is facing the Scorch Release of another new Kage-level warrior from the Sand Village in the Mist Village, she is now in the coastal areas of the Wind Country to guard against the Mist Ninja Army and cannot return to the Sand Village for discussions, but she also agrees to end the war with the Mist Village!

"Rosa, let's take a look at the ceasefire conditions from the Mist Village!"

After a few seconds of silence, Luo Sha took the initiative to greet himself and Ebizo. Chiyo nodded slightly but with no expression on her face, and handed over a scroll.

"The Kirigakure's truce conditions are so harsh?"

When Luo Sha saw the top-secret scroll that Chiyo handed to him, he was shocked by the contents inside. He shouted in disbelief, but he inexplicably felt a hint of joy in his heart.

On the scroll, the armistice conditions of the Mist Village are very simple. Either the Sand Village pays a piece of land or a huge amount of money as compensation, or the Sand Village sells out the Scorch Release Leaf Cangura as the price for peace talks!

There is no doubt that both conditions are difficult for the Sand Village to accept!

Cession of land?

Are you kidding? If the Mist Village occupies a piece of land in the Kingdom of Wind, will the Sand Village be able to sit still in the future? Aren't they afraid of being on guard against the Mist Village's surprise attack? If they are not careful, the Sand Village, which has lost a lot of blood, may be defeated directly.

Huge amounts of money in compensation?

This is also an unbearable burden for the Sand Village. If the economic conditions were really good, the Sand Village would be stupid to start a war for no reason. It is because the Sand Village and even the Wind Country are mostly desert areas that the poor Sand Ninjas, under the leadership of the Wind Shadow, would repeatedly try to launch attacks on the Fire Country or the surrounding small countries in order to find a more suitable habitat. Otherwise, who would like to fight a bloody war for no reason?

Not to mention, the Third Ninja World War lasted for more than three years, and the warehouse of the Sand Village was empty enough to starve to death. How could they possibly pay such a large sum of money to compensate the Mist Village? Even the Daimyo of the Wind Country would not support this condition.

As for betraying Scorch Release Ye Cang...

This was also difficult for the Sand Village to accept. As a rising star of the Sand Village in the Third Ninja World War, Yekura, who had figured out the [Scorch Release] on his own, was the commander of the Sand Village against the Mist Village, and at least three-digit Mist ninjas under his command had died.

It can be said that the candidate for the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village also has the nomination of Shokuton Hagura, and the number of Sand Ninjas who support her is not too small. Aren't the previous three Kazekage famous for their [Magnetic Release] Bloodline Limit or Puppetry Technique, and Rasa's own military exploits are not inferior to Shokuton Hagura, so she is afraid that her position as the Fourth Kazekage candidate will be challenged by him. Even so, Rasa is actually a little troubled by the competition between herself and Shokuton Hagura, after all, the other party is also a true genius.

However, the request made by the Mist Village seemed to have opened a window for Luo Sha. He knew that the conditions proposed by the Mist Village were very harsh, but the Sand Village seemed to have no other choice...

"Lord Chiyo, don't we have room for negotiation with the Mist Village?"

Just a few years flashed through his mind quickly, and Luo Sha resisted the urge to agree, and instead asked with a serious look on his face.

"Hehe, the Mist Village is sure that our Sand Village will suffer heavy losses in this Ninja World War, so they put forward such harsh conditions..."

Looking at Luosha's angry expression, Chiyo seemed to have sensed something, but did not say anything. Instead, she looked at the scroll of negotiation conditions for the secret envoy to go to the Kirigakure, smiled helplessly and stated a cruel reality, that is, the Sand Village is now the one that actively seeks peace, so the Kirigakure will naturally ask for a huge price.

For the Sand Village, they are really almost bleeding dry. If they don't find a way to end the war, they are afraid that they will not be able to hold on and will collapse completely!

……

"Sister, are we really going to give up on the Burning Release Leaf?"

Later, Rasa left the secret room. Ebizo, who didn't say much, had a sad look on his face. He knew his sister's character well. The other party told Rasa about the negotiation conditions of the Mist Village this time, and did not contact Shokuton Yekura to explain the situation. The implication was that she wanted to give up Shokuton Yekura and negotiate with the Mist Village.

"What else can I do if I don't give up?"

Hearing her brother's words, Chiyo's face was filled with a trace of helplessness. She clenched her hands tightly but was helpless. She looked at Ebizo and finally sighed silently. She explained the reason why she and Ebizo were forced to acquiesce to the negotiation conditions of the Kirigakure: "The current situation of the Sand Village is already extremely bad. In the armistice agreement signed with the Leaf Village, they at most sent some food. If they really continue to fight with the Kirigakure, there may no longer be a Sand Village..."

If possible, no one would be willing to sell out their own people to gain peace. As one of the high-ranking figures of the Sand Village, how could Chiyo want to beg for peace with the lives of her own people? However, Chiyo was very clear that the Sand Village was actually on the brink of collapse and could be brought to complete collapse by the war at any time.

The reason is very simple. The Sand Village and the Kingdom of Wind have never been wealthy countries. Ninjas also have to eat and support their families. If it were not for the national ninja army promoted by the Kingdom of Rainbow, if the Sand Village participated in the Third Ninja World War, it would have to bear most of the military expenses for its ninja army. Even if the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind invested part of the military expenses and a lot of resources, the Sand Village, which did not take on the mission, would still be overwhelmed. The heavy military expenditure pressure and tragic casualties were about to overwhelm the Sand Village.

Similarly, Ebizo, who knew how bad the current situation of the Sand Village was, could not complain about it. Betraying his companions and seeking so-called peace was indeed a very difficult choice, but if the fighting continued, the Sand Village would very likely collapse. Faced with the current difficult situation of the Sand Village, Ebizo could not think of any better way to veto the decision his sister Chiyo was going to make.

Seeing that Ebizo was speechless, Chiyo closed her eyes and exhaled deeply, then opened her eyes and looked at her brother, and said without hesitation that she had a firm belief in making such a decision:

"At least, the Sand Village can no longer fight. Even if it costs a heavy price, this war must be ended!"

Chapter 66 Betrayal and Saving Beauty

When Chiyo, Ebizo and Rasa reached a consensus, it became the unanimous opinion of the top leaders of the Sand Village to betray their own man, the Scorch Release Habura, in exchange for a truce with the Kirigakure and withdrawal from the Third Ninja World War.

Naturally, the top leaders of the Sand Village knew that this was an unavoidable choice, but if this matter were to spread, the Sand Village and even the entire Wind Kingdom would fall apart. After all, betraying one's own people in exchange for peace would greatly affect the cohesion of any ninja village, and even the person who made this decision would definitely suffer a strong backlash.

--For example, the Sandaime Hokage, who madly boasted that he was the strongest Hokage, was having so-called peace talks with the Kumogakure while the other party was spying on the Bloodline Limit operation of the Byakugan. When the head of the Hyuga clan killed the guy who sneaked into the Hyuga family, it was actually the Sandaime Hokage who agreed to the unreasonable demands of the Kumogakure and handed over the younger brother of the head of the Hyuga clan in exchange for the so-called peace. Later, when he had a duel between a master and his disciple Orochimaru, there was not a single strong man in Konoha to help him. It would be weird to say that there was no reason for this.

The Sand Village naturally would not be stupid enough to publicize this matter. There are many things you can do but cannot say. If this matter were to be leaked out, not to mention the turmoil that would be caused within the Sand Village, even Yekura, who could perform the Scorch Release, would immediately become a rebel and attack the Sand Village. By then, the Mist Village would easily kill their way into the Wind Kingdom and win, and that would be a situation of self-destruction.

So, the top leaders of the Sand Village reached a consensus. While discussing privately with the Mist Village, they half-truthfully revealed the news of peace talks to Shoton Yegura, recalled her to the village, and then sent her to the Water Kingdom!

"The fog in the Land of Water is really thick! Here, the power of my Scorch Release has been reduced..."
