Chapter 55: Sand Ninja's Sophistry

Ebizo stood at the door of the Sandaime Kazekage's tent for a while, gritted his teeth, and walked into the Sandaime Kazekage's tent.

"Kazekage, the mission to attack the Konoha Village headquarters has failed."

Ebizo lowered his head and spoke to the Sandaime Kazekage very apologetically.

"The mission failed. How is this possible?"

The Sandaime Kazekage was originally checking the supplies that had been recently transported from the village and the recovery of the wounded on the battlefield. Suddenly, he heard Ebizo's words and looked up in disbelief.

"It's true, Lord Kazekage. The Leaf Village seems to have anticipated our attack on that camp, and has left behind a group of ninjas to guard it."

"Not only did it fail to induce Konoha Village to wage war against the Land of Rain, it is very likely that Konoha Village will wage war against us next."

Ebizo spoke to the Third Kazekage with difficulty.

"Damn it! How could we be so careless? What is the evidence from Konoha Village that proves it was us?"

The Sandaime Kazekage stood up angrily, pacing back and forth, and spoke angrily to Ebizo.

"The body of the ninja Jiro who was sent on the mission was intercepted by the Third Generation of Konoha Village."

Ebizo lowered his head and spoke to the Sandaime Kazekage with great difficulty.

"Ebizo, immediately release a message saying that Jiro has defected from our Sand Village and is no longer a ninja of the Sand Village. And arrest Jiro's family! Send them to Konoha Village. You must not admit that Jiro was sent by us."

The Third Kazekage stood in front of the table and thought about it over and over again, then he gritted his teeth and spoke fiercely to Ebizo.

After hearing the words of the Sandaime Kazekage, Ebizo immediately raised his head and looked at the Sandaime Kazekage in surprise.

Ebizo didn't expect the Third Kazekage to be so cruel. He actually called out the villagers of his own village. You know, although Jiro and his team failed in their mission, they were still carrying out the mission of the village. Now that the mission has failed, the Third Kazekage actually decided to send Jiro's family out. His method is really cruel.

"Yes, Lord Kazekage."

Ebizo finally chose to follow the orders of the Sandaime Kazekage and lowered his head to accept the task from the Sandaime Kazekage.

"Immediately send scout ninjas to the border of Wind Country. Keep an eye on where Konoha Village will attack us from. You should not go to the battlefield for a while. Return to the village. Take care of the affairs of the village and make sure there is no commotion in the village."

The Sandaime Kazekage remained calm in the face of danger. He analyzed the situation calmly and continued to speak to Ebizo.

"Yes, Lord Kazekage."

Ebizo accepted the task assigned by the Sandaime Kazekage with a serious expression and quickly returned to the Sand Village.

With the full efforts of Konoha Village, a large team was quickly assembled. Because of the presence of members of the Hyuga clan, the team from Konoha Village rushed into the Kingdom of Wind at a very fast speed and wantonly destroyed the oases in the Kingdom of Wind.

The reconnaissance team quickly found the oasis and set up a warning to prevent the ninjas from the Sand Village from attacking. The fire ninjas were responsible for burning all the plants on the oasis, and the earth ninjas were responsible for sinking the good soil where the oasis was originally located, allowing the surrounding sand to flow into the oasis and the original water veins to flow to other places. Then the reconnaissance team continued to look for the next oasis. When a team was really exhausted, they would use the Hyuga clan's divine bridge summoning technique to return to Konoha Village for repairs.

While the assault team was destroying the oasis, Konoha Village also promptly issued a war declaration against the Sand Village.

Konoha Village announced to many ninja villages the information that the Sand Village ninjas attacked the Konoha Village camp.

The moment the information was released was also the moment when Konoha Village officially entered the Kingdom of Wind.

However, Sand Village is worthy of being one of the five major ninja villages. Just seven days later, Sand Village responded to the Sand Ninja's attack on the Konoha Village camp. In their response, they defined the ninjas captured by Konoha Village as traitors.

Moreover, the ninjas of Sand Village were very stubborn and demanded compensation from Konoha Village for destroying the oasis in the Kingdom of Wind.

"Hahaha, good day. Look at the information we just received. The Sand Village actually refuted that Jiro was a traitor and not a ninja of the Sand Village. They even asked us to pay compensation."

Orochimaru and Jiraiya walked in with the information, and Jiraiya said to Chen An with a smile.

"There shouldn't be just that little bit of information on there. The Jiro he mentioned is a traitor. It's impossible that there is no explanation at all."

Chen An heard what Jiraiya said and asked him with a smile.

"That's not the case, but they said they would hand over the family of that guy named Jiro to our Konoha Village for us to deal with."

Jiraiya heard Chen An's question and spoke to Chen An with a sarcastic expression.

"Well, in that case, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, go and notify all the ninjas from Konoha who have entered the Wind Country to withdraw. If they continue to stay in the Wind Country, they may be in danger."

Chen An smiled when he heard Jiraiya's words. He thought of Ye Cang of the Sand Village in the original work, who was abandoned by the Sand Village and thrown to the Mist Ninja because of the same thing, and became a bargaining chip in exchange for peace.

"Are we going to withdraw so early? Isn't it too easy for the Sand Village?"

Orochimaru looked at Chen An in confusion. It was a little incomprehensible to Orochimaru that he had to withdraw all the people in just one week.

"Orochimaru, don't be confused. Let's just negotiate. If the Sand Village doesn't compensate, we don't need to compensate the Murder Village."

Chen An said to Orochimaru with a smile.

Although continuing to destroy the oasis in the Land of Wind would certainly yield greater rewards, it would inevitably force the ninjas of the Sand Village into a corner, and they would withdraw their ninja team from the battlefield of the Land of Rain at all costs and concentrate on fighting against the Konoha Village.

But if he took a step back and put all the conditions on the table, the Sand Village would definitely try to bargain and continue to fight with Konoha. When the war came to an end, the Sand Village, which had suffered heavy losses and could no longer bear the loss of personnel, would definitely pay in material compensation.

In this way, Konoha Village can not only obtain sufficient resources, but also minimize losses. Orochimaru heard Chen An's words and nodded in understanding.

"No, Chen An, what do you mean? Explain it clearly."

Jiraiya saw Orochimaru nod and asked Chen An angrily.

"Ah, is your head really just there for nothing?"

Hearing Jiraiya's question, Chen An shook his head helplessly and told Jiraiya the reason.

"Oh, so it's to prevent the Sand Village from getting desperate. Now I know."

Jiraiya nodded as if he suddenly understood, and said to Chen An.
