Chapter 281 Sunagakure And Amegakure's Plan

Land of Wind.

Sunagakure.

Kazekage Building, conference hall.

"It's true that the situation we faced after the defeat was very passive, but the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning have declared war on the Land of Fire at the same time, there's also Land of Water's Kirigakure. That is to say, Konoha is now facing the siege of Three Great Shinobi Villages, and their situation is even more severe than ours!"

Rasa then continued, "The current Konoha urgently needs allies!"

The Sunagakure's higher-ups present had reached an agreement long ago. As soon as Rasa said this, they immediately nodded.

"Everyone, during our previous war with Konoha, Land of Earth's Iwagakure has deceived us several times! If they could invade the Land of Fire as early as the contract and share our pressure, our camp in Kikyō Pass won't be attacked by Orochimaru so soon!"

"We lost the Battle of Kikyō Pass. Soon after we retreated to Land of Rain, we were attacked by Iwagakure's Shinobi!"

"Iwagakure's Shinobi also framed us, saying that we were the first to attack them, shameless!"

"That bastard Ōnoki clearly wanted us to fight to the death with Konoha, and finally jumped out to clean up the mess!"

"Although we were defeated by Konoha, if we form an alliance with Konoha, we will have the power to fight Iwagakure!"

"We need to transfer all the internal conflicts to Iwagakure! And even transfer our country's losses to the Land of Earth."

"Forming an alliance with Konoha is beneficial to both of our countries!"

"The premise of forming the alliance is that they must reduce the compensation!"

"We can't take the initiative, otherwise, Konoha will definitely not reduce our compensation!"

A lot of Sunagakure's higher-ups started saying one after another, and the more they spoke, the more vigorous they become.

Chiyo sat next to Rasa, and after listening for a while, she said unperturbedly: "The Sunagakure's Shinobi army that followed us are still stationed at the border of the Land of Rain, Kazekage-sama, this time, I need to ask you to take action personally."

Rasa nodded solemnly: "I will lead everyone into the Land of Rain and put pressure on Konoha and Iwagakure's Shinobi!"

"Konoha's Sarutobi Hiruzen is an old fox. He will surely be able to guess our purpose when he sees us returning there!"

"When the time comes, he can only reduce our compensation and form an alliance with us to deal with the Land of Earth together!"

"Otherwise, Konoha will be finished!"

"Hahaha…"

Sunagakure's higher-ups are happy.

"And Pakura."

Rasa's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said without any emotion. "Everyone, what do you think about Pakura's collusion with Kirigakure's Shinobi?"

Pakura and Rasa are equally young, both have Kekkei Genkai, equally strong, and they both participated in the competition for the Yondaime Kazekage's position. Although Rasa won in the end, Rasa knew he was only able to win because of his gender!

The precarious Sunagakure needs a man with a strong arm as a leader, not a slender woman!

So, after Rasa became Yondaime Kazekage, every time he thinks of Pakura, he always feels that this Kazekage's position was given to him by the woman Pakura!

Speaking of Pakura, the Sunagakure's higher-ups glanced at each other, but no one starts to talk.

After a while, Ebizō frowned and said: "Although Pakura is indeed suspicious, she has never admitted of colluding with Kirigakure's Shinobi."

A higher-up next to Ebizō suddenly spoke: "Now that the war is still not over, we need Pakura!"

"Many Shinobi and civilians in the village regard Pakura as a hero. We can't deal with her just on the grounds of her colluding with Kirigakure's Shinobi, as it will definitely cause backlash." Another higher-up said.

After that, the remaining higher-ups also spoke for Pakura.

Although on Kikyō Pass, everyone was very angry with Pakura's "betrayal" and wanted to kill her directly, but when they finally calmed down, they felt that before there are any conclusive evidences, they should not slap Pakura. After all, she is one of the highest combat power in the village. Moreover, she is also a female, so in the future, she can get married and have a Scorch Release child!

Rasa looked at them with a calm expression, and snorted coldly in her heart, thinking that one day he would take care of them all!

...

Land of Rain.

The scale of the war between Konoha and Iwagakure gradually expanded, and a large number of Land of Rain's villages have been affected, and civilians suffered heavy casualties!

Hanzō is still huddled in Amegakure. Everyday, he wrote to Hiruzen and Ōnoki to protest, condemning their conscience, cursing their hypocrisy, cursing their ancestors, and wishing he could teleport to their location and slaughter them!

"Hanzō-sama!"

On this day, Hanzō wrote another two thousand two hundred words letter. Just as he put it in the envelope, his subordinates rushed inside to report.

"What's the matter?" Hanzō put the letter down, and turned to look at his subordinate, who is wearing a gas mask.

"Hanzō-sama, there's information about the Akatsuki!" the subordinate said.

"Akatsuki?" Hanzō recalled for a while, and then finally remembered this organization. Danzō wrote to him before, and boasted shamelessly by saying that this organization would endanger his dominance.

"Yes!"

The subordinate said, "We found that the Akatsuki is absorbing many Shinobi, who became homeless because of the war."

Hearing this, Hanzō sneered: "So what?"

Most of the elite Shinobi in the Land of Rain are in Amegakure, and all of them are his subordinates. The Shinobi absorbed by Akatsuki are all Genin, there are even the kind of Shinobi who can only use with Three Basic Techniques. For such people, no matter how much Akatsuki absorbs, it is useless.

"Sir, Akatsuki not only absorbed Shinobi, but also helped many homeless civilians. Their reputation in the country…" Before the subordinate could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Hanzō.

"Maintaining the rule of a country depends on military force, not civilians!"

Hanzō said disdainfully, "What Akatsuki doing is useless, but…"

He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "I can use this organization."

Because of the war between the two great powers, more and more civilians in the Land of Rain were killed. Hanzō wanted to rescue them, but Amegakure is not one of the Great Shinobi Villages, so there are not many commissioned missions, moreover, because of the war, they are… very poor!

But now, he can just hand over this matter to the Akatsuki, let them contribute money and efforts, but the one who rules the Land of Rain will still be him, Hanzō of the Salamander!

...

At the same time.

In the Land of Rain, behind Iwagakure's main camp, on the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth, Minato, Kanpū, and the two other Anbu, one is called Mizuki Maika, and the other is called Honda Yoshihide, a total of four people are sneaking into the village.

In front of them is a small village in the Land of Rain. When Iwagakure's Shinobi army entered the Land of Rain a few months ago, this small village was destroyed in order to prevent information leakage. Currently, this small village is a rest stop for Iwagakure's logistics supply!

"Minato-sama, although this small village is not big, but there are many buildings. Will it affect your performance?" After Kanpū observed the village for a while, he turned his head and said to Minato in a henchman tone.

Minato pondered slightly, but did not speak.

"Gekkō Kanpū, you idiot, just shut up!"

Mizuki Maika the 666 salted fish said dissatisfiedly, "Minato-sama kill all the Iwagakure's Shinobis in the village in an instant, the kind of situation you said will never happen!"

Honda Yoshihide was also dissatisfied when he saw the pondering Minato: "Stop arguing, Minato-sama is thinking."

The two suddenly looked at Minato in silence.

"Maika, Yoshihide, Kanpū, I want you three to attract their attention, as for the rest, just leave it to me!"

Minato has a warm smile on his face, dispelling the heavy dark clouds above the Land of Rain like sunshine!

"Understood!"

Kanpū and the other two responded, rushed out immediately, and ran towards the small village extremely arrogantly.
