Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down

"If I am not the Kazekage, how will the elders respond to Konoha's counterattack?"

Ye Cang asked back.

This is her real ‘trump card’.

Sunagakure Village is ranked last among the five great shinobi villages.

Even due to the appearance of bird droppings and black oil, its strength has grown a lot.

However, the more ninjas there are, the greater the consumption. Coupled with the improper behavior of the nobles of the Kingdom of Wind, the situation of the Suna Ninjas is extremely bad. Coupled with the task share, the Suna Ninjas are forced to cooperate with Orochimaru to create Konoha's collapse plan.

It's not that they can't recognize the gap between themselves and Konoha and insist on going against each other.

But the problem is that the nobles of the Kingdom of Wind not only cut their funds, but even handed over their share of tasks to Konoha. In this case, if they don't resist, Sunagakure Village may be gone.

Now that Konoha is knocking on the door, everyone is really caught off guard.

"How is that possible!"

Even Chiyo said it subconsciously.

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen could at most send someone to come and accuse him, and then do some face-saving work, and the two sides could sign a peace agreement.

At worst, Suna Ninja would hang out with Konoha in the future, which would be a blessing in disguise.

But they didn't expect Konoha to actually attack.

Even if Konoha successfully invades the Kingdom of Wind, it will not get any benefits. The Kingdom of Wind is nothing but sand. It is impossible for the opponent to come to grab the sand, right? .

Yes, Konoha would gain nothing from invading the Kingdom of Wind, and supplies would also be extremely difficult.

On the other hand, the Sand Ninjas would be able to invade the Land of Fire with a mouth full of food, and supplies could be collected from anywhere, making it extremely easy.

This is the truth why Konoha never invaded the Kingdom of Wind.

If it is profitable, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen disagrees, Danzo and other martial arts sects and major ninja clans cannot let this soft persimmon go.

But this time it was for revenge, and it was also to solve hidden dangers. Coupled with Heiyou's competition for interests, the counterattack plan could be passed smoothly.

Of course, another key reason is to let Asma improve his record.

It was for this reason that the Hokage did not stop Danzo's 'revenge' plan.

As for the authenticity of this information, no one would doubt it. The other party or the castle tower behind it would never make fun of this information.

After all, it is too easy to verify.

"Now the Konoha ninja army may have crossed the border. Since the elders do not agree with me being the Kazekage, I can only take people away first!"

Ye Cang made an explicit threat.

Originally, given her personality, she would not do such a thing.

But if this is for the good of Sunagakure Village, then she, the 'Hero of Sand Ninja', can't do it.

Just like before, she was willing to do anything for Suna Ninja, even if she was hated and disliked by others, it didn't matter to her.

In fact, if it weren't for the ready-made template of Mist Ninja Village, Ye Cang wouldn't be so determined.

But after seeing with her own eyes how Kirigakure Village transformed from the 'bloody mist' to the happy place it is today, she had secretly decided in her heart that no matter what, she would make the Suna Ninja become like the Kiri Ninja.

This idea was also shared by her and the series of ninjas trained under her command.

Note that a Ninja Village is different from a country.

The Ninja Village is like a mercenary group. At most, it is too deeply involved with the country where it is located, but in the heart, the village is greater than the country.

Therefore, there will be no such thing as "feelings of family and country" in Ninja Village.

wrong!

There is no such thing in a place like the ninja world.

Therefore, Suna Ninja's unwillingness to take the position of Yakura was more out of worry and dissatisfaction.

The worry is that if Hagura really takes over, will the Sand Ninja become a subsidiary of Konoha? .

If he is unhappy, he will naturally look down on the ‘small power’ of the castle tower.

No matter how much money they can make, they are one of the "Five Great Ninja Villages". How can they be willing to be inferior to each other?

It can only be said that it is extremely difficult for Ye Cang to rise to the top.

Not possible under normal circumstances.

But this is no longer normal.

The Konoha army has arrived!

Don't look at them, Sand Ninjas often invade the Land of Fire.

That's because we know that Konoha can only defend passively and will not take the initiative to attack.

Now that they have really taken action, they also know the strength gap between the two sides, and they are really no match for them.

Anyone can be a talkative king, but if they really want to start a fight, they will start to get timid.

Therefore, Ye Cang was stopped when he was about to turn around and leave.

"etc!"

Ebizo forced himself to speak.

How tough my attitude was just now, how embarrassing it is now.

"Oh, I don't know what Elder Ebizo has to say. I'm in a hurry to return to the castle tower. You don't like me anyway... right?"

Ye Cangruo glanced at all the Sand Ninja elders thoughtfully.

Among these people, except for Chiyo and Ebizo, they are too selfish and even collude too closely with the nobles. It is precisely because of their existence that Sunagakure Village cannot develop.

Yes, with the help of the castle tower, the income of the Sand Ninjas has actually increased a lot, but they are still forced to attack Konoha. The water here is really deep.

Even if most of the responsibility lies with the nobles, a lot of responsibility lies with these elders.

Even if Chiyo and Ebizo can control themselves and their clansmen, it doesn't mean they can control everyone, so this time Yekura wants to take the Kazekage position, not only to take the position, but also to take the opportunity to cleanse the senior Suna ninja.

"No, as a Suna ninja you can stay in the village!"

Ebizo could only admit Ye Cang's status as a 'Sand Ninja' and temporarily stabilize her.

"Really? I'm really looking forward to the next Kazekage 'election'!"

Ye Cang nodded and left.

She was in no hurry.

Because time is on her side.

If Konoha hadn't made any moves, she might have needed to resort to many tricks to take the position of Kazekage.

But now, there is no need for those tricks.

Of course, if the Sand Ninjas would rather be killed by Konoha in the village than let her take the position, that's another story.

In the meeting room!

After Ye Cang left, the elders spoke.

"Ebizo, do you really want her to be the Fifth Kazekage? She is from the castle tower!"

"Yes, do you want us Sand Ninjas to be subordinate to Konoha?"

"We must not let Ye Cang become Hokage!"

...

Most of the elders were very firm in their attitudes.

Ye Cang was absolutely not allowed to take the position.

The other party had a hot temper and had nothing to do with them. Once he was allowed to take the position, they would be in big trouble.

"Really? I just hope you don't regret what you said today!"

Chiyo suddenly stood up, took a deep look at the elders, and left with a word.

She naturally knew that these elders were secretly colluding with the nobles. If it weren't for the fact that they were too important to the village, and if it weren't for the fact that she was acting in an unjust and unreasonable manner, Chiyo would have already taken action.

Now they are so determined to oppose Ye Cang, how much of it is for themselves, everyone knows.

Just like Chiyo also opposed Ye Cang to be the fifth generation Kazekage, but she was only worried about the instability of the castle tower and the loss of the Sand Ninja.

Otherwise, she didn't have much opinion on joining the castle tower to make the Sand Village better.

Even if she did so, the power in her hands would be affected the most.

She never liked power, but only to protect the Sand Village. If someone could make the village better, she would naturally not be reluctant to give up the power in her hands.

On the other side!

Ye Cang will naturally stay in the Sand Village with peace of mind, and when he gets the order to attack, he will say "stomachache", "period"... and so on.

Anyway, it's the rhythm of not taking action.

And the Sand Ninjas will naturally not sit idly by and watch Konoha attack, so they gather a large army to fight, and even Chiyo and Ebizo have taken action.

The problem is that Konoha played its trump card without any moral principles.

Airship + aerial bombing!

It was almost a replica of the tactics of the castle tower, and it crushed the Sand Ninja.

The Sand Ninja did have airships, but the number was pitifully small. Because they were expensive and difficult to maintain, they had never paid much attention to them. Most of the shares purchased by the Sand Village were directly transferred for profit.

The nobles of the Wind Country not only devoured the airship share, but also tried every means to destroy, transfer, and damage the remaining number of the village... etc., because this thing would cut off the ropes that bound the Sand Village.

The result!

On the Konoha army side, after Asuma used airships to solve the logistics problem, coupled with a large number of detonating tags falling from the air, he directly defeated the Sand Ninja who had the advantage in terrain and numbers.

If Chiyo and Gaara had not joined forces to block the pursuit, they might have been surrounded and annihilated, not just defeated.

When the remaining Sand Ninjas came back, Ye Cang's "illness" suddenly recovered.

His waist was no longer sore, and his legs were no longer weak.

Kazekage Building.

This meeting was extremely grand. Not only were there elders, but also all the village's jonins, even Gaara came.

The meeting was to discuss how to fight Konoha, or whether to surrender directly.
