His voice was soft.
It's a rhetorical question.
It was also another moment of self-reflection.
Upon hearing this, the old man who had spoken so boldly instantly froze.
Ask the Land of Fire to allocate land to their side?
how can that be!
It should be noted that the First Hokage offered to give up the Tailed Beasts in exchange for some fertile land suitable for cultivation, but those stingy guys refused.
How could that be possible now?
Moreover, the current rulers of Konoha are no longer the benevolent Hashirama Senju, but the seemingly gentle Hiruzen Sarutobi and the infamous Danzo Shimura.
How could they possibly make such a choice?
Luo Sha turned sideways and swept his hands over each of the attendees.
silence,
silence.
Still silent.
Clearly, these guys had reached the same conclusion as me.
It is absolutely impossible for the Wind Kingdom to acquire fertile lands from its allies, enough to ensure a stable future for its descendants, without shedding a single drop of blood!
"So why should we eliminate a powerful rogue ninja for them for no reason?"
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"I think none of you here are truly foolish enough to regard Konoha as an ally with whom we can advance and retreat together, are you?"
Amidst the silence of the crowd, he spoke again softly.
There was no grandiloquent tone in his words; instead, there was only calmness, certainty, and empathetic rhetoric.
Inside the meeting room, a cacophony of gazes converged after passing between each other, finally settling on the Fourth Hokage, who had been appointed to this critical mission.
"The issue of Daimyo's ever-increasing spending cuts, the environment in which generations have worked hard but with little improvement, and the gold mine that will eventually be drained of its light."
"Sunagakure Village, there is no way out."
"We can only rely on ourselves, not on the charity of others one day."
"In the East,"
"Just to the east, not far away, lies the fertile land that generations of Sunagakure have longed for."
"What do you think I should do?"
Throughout this, Luo Sha's voice remained calm.
He didn't use his emotions to refute these old guys for not suggesting earlier why they hadn't captured Orochimaru when he arrived alone and handed him over to Konoha to do them a favor.
Instead, he used the most sincere emotions to ask questions of all the senior executives present.
Because a real war cannot be waged or propelled by tyranny or by acting alone.
This requires everyone's concerted efforts and shared will to reach the final decision!
After all, what Sunagakure needs is victory, an unwavering belief in victory, not a half-hearted, disorganized effort to get by.
The Fourth Kazekage's words were like an invisible dagger, ruthlessly severing the thoughts of those who hesitated and those who opposed him.
The situation in Sunagakure is indeed urgent.
Others may not see it, but those in high positions know it all too well.
It should be understood that, in terms of unnecessary expenses and unnecessary ninja losses alone, Sunagakure was the most severely affected party outside the Blood Mist.
The harsh environment tempered their warriors, hindering the enemy's invasion while also demanding a bloody reward from them.
Every year, every month, every day a sandstorm strikes, they would involuntarily pray silently in their hearts, hoping that their comrades stationed outside would be safe and sound.
Even so, those ignorant nobles still wanted to cut spending on Sunagakure.
Did they really think that when Sunagakure fell out of the ranks of the Five Great Ninja Villages, they could defend the Land of Wind's territory with just sandstorms?
"I have no objection."
The old man who spoke first spoke slowly after a long silence.
After saying these words, he slowly closed his eyes.
This will inevitably be a bloody path that plunges the entire village into grief, but it is also the only thorny path where hope can be seen.
May everything go smoothly.
"agree."
"No objection."
"Let's do it that way, Lord Kazekage!"
"........."
The old man's first words were like the fluttering of a butterfly's wings, followed by a chorus of echoes, each carrying a different emotion.
Until the last person's decision was made, the entire room suddenly became solemn and tense.
Once the decision is made to start a war
That means we must go all out to promote and implement it.
The days of peace left for them are numbered!
"Okay, then let's go prepare."
Luo Sha snorted softly after receiving the final answer. In fact, it was better to raise such doubts earlier than to back out or have differing opinions when the plan was nearing completion.
As for its own will, it has never changed.
From the day she turned her own child into a monster.
Thinking of this, Luo Sha's gaze subtly shifted. On a platform not far away, a young man with short, dark red hair and carrying a huge sand gourd sat alone.
He seemed to have been forgotten and abandoned by the whole world, which is why he was able to blend in with the desolate and silent environment around him, and why the Fourth Kazekage felt a special sense of sorrow.
but,
It'll be soon.
【Soon. 】
You are about to be free.
【Feel sorry. 】
.........
at the same time,
In the distant Land of Fire, Konoha, beneath the highly symbolic Hokage Rock, the building adorned with a massive 'fire' character is brightly lit.
[Mangekyou Sharingan! Mangekyou Sharingan!]
[That guy really did awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan!]
He hid it so well!!
"I told you long ago that there was something wrong with that little thing, it can't be kept, it can't be kept!"
"You won't listen,"
"Repeated acts of kindness and indulgence have ultimately led to his current state!"
"Is it done now? Are you satisfied?"
"The third pair of Mangekyou Sharingan,"
"The Mangekyou Sharingan, with its limitless possibilities, has once again appeared in that evil clan!"
"That guy isn't as easy to manipulate or dote on as Uchiha Shisui."
"What else do you want to do now, Hiruzen Sarutobi?!"
Wrapped in bandages, with only one eye visible, Shimura Danzo roared, howled, and questioned in anger.
The wooden cane, almost polished to a patina, pounded against the floor with a loud thud, and even the way he addressed the person had changed to Sarutobi.
He was really furious.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, who were also sitting upright in the room, had gloomy faces and felt genuine fear and unease about the news they had just received.
After all, whether it was Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, or the previous clan head, Uchiha Fugaku, that guy could be described as radical and protective of his own.
The best proof of this is that he once stormed the Sarutobi clan's territory in a fit of rage after his return.
Now that he has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, probably no ninja of his generation can restrain him!
Even with Hiruzen's hidden trump card, Sasuke Uchiha, with his pure blood flowing through his veins, could hardly match it!
The situation has truly reached a point where it is difficult to maintain.
"Mind your place, Danzo!"
Seeing his old friend's furious outburst, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also enraged.
The fact that Uchiha Ara awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan was indeed unexpected for him, and it certainly posed a huge threat to the stability of the entire village.
That extreme personality and that reckless protectiveness of their children, regardless of the consequences, are potential flashpoints for future conflicts.
Danzo and his group had naturally considered everything they could think of.
But now is not the time to argue about this; we should be considering solutions!
Unexpectedly, his previously reliable strategy suffered a crushing defeat today.
"Ha, status."
"Have you forgotten how your family was wiped out by that one person?"
"Or have you forgotten the terrifying power that the Mangekyou Sharingan possesses?"
