Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

Chapter 163. Civilians can die, so why can't Feng Ying?

After a pause, Sasori said softly, "We should thank those people from Konoha—I really look forward to the day when Kazekage Village is gone, and only the Kazekage Village Autonomous Region remains."

Whether it's unifying the ninja world or avoiding war altogether, who says a puppeteer's puppets must be used for battle?

"I'm not that free."

His words still carried resentment, but also concealed a subtle expectation, indicating that his ambition was not low.

The following morning, after a night of discussion, the entire Fengying Village decided to invest all of its limited funds into the business proposed by Yun'an.

It can be said that if this business fails, Fengying Village, even if it is not completely destroyed, will be basically ruined, no different from being finished.

This desperate gamble can be considered a commendable act of burning one's bridges.

Because of this situation, most people in Fengying Village suddenly became respectful to Yun An and his group, and everyone hoped that the business deal would go through.

The scenes described in the Konoha Daily were so enticing that no one wanted to cause any trouble at this crucial moment.

Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro followed Yun'an and the others, ostensibly as their guides in Kazekage Village, but everyone knew they were just secretly monitoring them.

Fortunately, Yun An and the others did not care about this at all, so Fengying Village was currently bustling and prosperous, and very lively.

Gaara's situation in the village gradually improved, which was a rare and good thing.

Gaara's approachability and Temari's kind words became the entry point for Yun'an and others to gain a deeper understanding of Kazekage Village.

Kakashi and Might Guy no longer viewed Kazekage Village through the lens of antagonism, but instead gained a new understanding of this land of endless yellow sand from a completely new perspective.

Jiraiya, in particular, has gained a deeper understanding of peace. He is no longer like before, blindly standing on the side of Konoha and completely unaware of the true situation outside.

"Peace is truly hard-won."

Jiraiya gazed at the yellow sand before him, a look of deep emotion on his face.

Kakashi also had a book on the way of peace in his hands, clearly showing that his trip to Kazekage Village had been very fruitful.

Unfortunately, their differing stances ultimately led to vastly different levels of empathy and perspectives on the issues.

Yun An glanced at these sentimental men and found them somewhat amusing.

"Brother Yun'an, can we really go to Konoha?"

Among the three, Temari is the only girl. Seeing that Yun An is handsome and not too strict, she is willing to get close to this handsome brother.

Although Yun An has long since started a family and career, he has maintained his peak appearance from his youth thanks to his chakra and Yin Seal. He looks like a gentle older brother, and when he stands next to Kakashi and Might Guy of the same age, he looks like a peer.

Only Jiraiya, standing to the side, had graying temples and looked somewhat old. From a distance, he resembled an elderly person taking a child on a sightseeing trip.

"OK."

Yun An rested his hands behind his head, his gaze sweeping over the endless yellow sand of Kazekage Village, but in his heart he was thinking to himself: living in such a monotonous, desolate place with scarce resources, where even basic ninja school education is difficult to guarantee, it would be strange if people's hearts were not closed off and they did not fall ill.

Konoha has been able to cultivate many strong individuals generation after generation, and its system alone is already far superior to that of the other major ninja villages.

Kirigakure had considered systemic reforms, but they went too far and ultimately triggered internal strife. One by one, promising young ninjas became the village's enemies, leading to their utter defeat.

Such a foolish thing.

It's truly rare to see someone like him, who has roamed the world for so many years.

"Even if we reach Konoha, it's still not our village."

Kankuro muttered under his breath, his tone stubborn yet unable to hide his hesitation that didn't match his words.

"Why can't we all be one village? Why can't we be one loving family?"

Yun An spoke with a smile.

Kankuro glanced at him, and although he didn't dare to contradict him openly, he still muttered under his breath, "Naive idea."

The interests between villages and the cultures of different regions are in conflict and fundamentally incompatible; it's not that easy.

"That's a great idea."

Instead of deliberately suppressing him, Yun An nodded slightly, agreeing with his statement.

This reaction left Kankuro dumbfounded.

To be praised by Yun An is an extremely rare thing.

He immediately retorted, "Who gave you the right to say such nice things to comfort people? Let me tell you, I, Kankuro, am the son of the Kazekage-sama, and I would never betray him."

"Nobody asked you to betray us."

Yun An smiled slightly, turned around and bought some snacks from the stall next to her, then tossed them to Temari.

Temari took it and then distributed it to her two younger brothers.

Gaara's mental state had improved considerably thanks to several days of restful sleep. Although he remained silent, his dark circles had disappeared, and he seemed much more approachable than usual.

At this moment, he was quietly eating fried meatballs with sugar, his eyes gentle, and he really looked no different from an ordinary child.

"Going to Konoha Village is not out of the question, as long as Brother Yun'an is there."

Gaara spoke slowly, his tone calm, yet he was the one among the three who was closest to Yun'an and had the most affection for the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Yun An was secretly delighted: With such a temperament and such circumstances, this child deserves to be the future fifth generation Wind Shadow.

Moreover, he still has the tailed beast Shukaku inside him. Once he fulfills Black Zetsu's dream and rescues his mother, it's not impossible to consider keeping Shukaku inside Gaara's body.

They will then create a contractual passage agreed upon by the two of them. If something happens, Shukaku will return to his body; if nothing happens, Shukaku will travel freely and go wherever it wants.

In this way, Gaara can not only possess the power of the Tailed Beasts, but also contribute to the future Kazekage Village Autonomous Region.

Haha.

He Yun'an is simply a genius. Hearing Gaara's answer, Temari and Kankuro didn't seem particularly surprised.

Putting themselves in Gaara's shoes, they would probably make the same choice.

Temari secretly vowed to keep a close eye on her younger brother and not let him be "brainwashed" by Konoha, otherwise their family might be forced to separate in the future.

This is not the kind of scene she, as the older sister, wants to see.

Half a month later.

"It's done."

"It actually worked! How is this possible?"

That unusually excited voice, along with the order being sent out and the payment arriving in advance, became a tangible reality.

The puppeteers of Fengying Village looked at the large sum of silver that had been delivered.

This moment.

Their hearts were pounding with excitement.

These puppeteers held a generally low status in the entire ninja world, but with so much money, it was obvious that their future prospects would be bright.

Throughout the entire Fengying Village.

They are absolutely number one, the kind that no one dares to underestimate.
