You Know Nothing About Pain

What Kankuro said is indeed a very realistic problem. Gaara thought about it, and finally said firmly: "It's okay, if you have any problems, let them come to me. At worst, I will perform a few more missions in the future, and the mission will never be done. Not to finish, but there are not many opportunities for Naruto to come to Sand Hidden Village."

"Uh...that's fine." Kankuro saw that Gaara had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more.

-------------------------------------

At this time, the elders of Sand Hidden Village had already been notified by Gaara entrusting the guard ninja to tell them, and 10 minutes later, a detailed report about Naruto came to their desk.

"Let's talk about it." Sitting in the center of the room, the elder who looked the oldest looked at the people in the room and said, "What do you think about this Konoha ninja named Uzumaki Naruto?"

"This Uzumaki Naruto is Konoha's ninja, and Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" A somewhat bald elder looked at the information in front of him and said with disbelief: "Are you sure the information is true? Konoha Is this person out of their minds? Just let Renzhuriki from his own village appear in the base camp of other ninja villages so grandly?"

Hearing the bald elder's words, other people in the room also had strange expressions on their faces. Indeed, it was an incredible thing from any angle.

You must know that it is Renzhuriki, this is one of the ultimate weapons of a ninja village, who would let this kind of thing go out casually, and even run to other people's base camps, without even hiding their identity, just report it The direct name, even if you say a fake name, although it will definitely be seen through in an instant, we will treat you as if you have worked hard.

"It's hard to say now, who knows if this Uzumaki Naruto is another ninja in disguise." Another elder with gloomy eyes said with a sneer, "Maybe this is Konoha's conspiracy to turn a ninja into a renjuriki They hang around here like that, and then make trouble for us after we can't help but investigate, maybe it can even be an excuse for them to go to war."

After finishing speaking, the elder with gloomy eyes snorted coldly and said, "I knew that Konoha would not reconcile with us that easily. Although he agreed to the peace talks on the surface, the local people must want to get revenge."

The faces of the other elders in the room also changed when they heard it. Sand Hidden Village is now suffering from internal and external troubles. Back then, the third Kazekage died for no apparent reason. The murderer has not yet been found out. Now it is good. The first The fourth Kazekage was also assassinated, making them almost the laughing stock of the ninja world. The majestic village lord died without knowing why for two consecutive terms. The fourth Kazekage was a little bit better. He knew Who is the murderer? Although they still have no choice but to take Orochimaru for the time being, at least there is hope. The third generation of Kazekage is really ashamed. Up to now, they can't find the right lord if they want to take revenge.

But what is ironic is that because of the inexplicable disappearance of the third generation of Kazekage back then, Sand Hidden Village without a leader can only form a system of elders to maintain the normal operation of the village until the next Kazekage appears.

So after the sudden death of the fourth generation Kazekage this time, because of the previous experience, Sand Hidden Village directly moved out of the Presbyterian Church, which effectively reduced the chaos and losses of the village to a minimum, and there is no need to rush like Konoha The selection of a new Hokage can only be a dumbfounding result.

The leading elder saw that the thinking of everyone in the room was gradually going astray, so he couldn't help but knocked on the table with a cough and said, "It doesn't matter whether this person is real or not, anyway, he will be able to see it after a short time in our village. Assuming that the whole person is Naruto Uzumaki himself, what should we do next?" Hearing the words of the leading elder, the other elders in the room couldn't help but look at each other.

If this person is really Naruto Uzumaki, then they... really don't know what to do.

I've never encountered such a situation, I can't even dream of it, how can anyone let their ultimate weapon run around without insurance.

It can even be said that, in the opinion of the top five Ninja Villages, the probability of letting one's own Jinjuriki run to other people's base camp alone is less than the probability of being assassinated by Kazekage twice in a row in Sand Hidden Village.

Because Kazekage was assassinated successively in Sand Hidden Village, it can only be said that they were unlucky, and some of them were done by themselves. They stayed in their own village and developed nothing.

But what Konoha is doing now has nothing to do with luck, as long as the reigning Hokage is not crazy, it is impossible to agree to such a situation.

"Could it be that... Konoha's new Hokage was also killed, and this was pretended by someone else?" Reminiscing about the incident where his family Kazekage was impersonated, an elder couldn't help but open his mind and said: " So issuing this order deliberately is to make Konoha feel better."

After hearing this, the leading elder couldn't help but have black lines all over his head. Do you really think that Ying and everything are all chickens now? If you want to kill them, you can kill them. Let's not say that Konoha itself is the number one ninja village. A bit of Hokage cannot be disguised.

The fifth generation of Hokage is Senju Tsunade, okay? One of the famous Sannin, recognized as the strongest medical ninja in the world, people go to the hospital every day to help treat seriously injured ninjas. You can pretend to be a medical ninjutsu master! Can't pretend.

But the leading elder can't say that. Doesn't it show that Kazekage of his family is a weak chicken? Not to mention being killed silently, and being pretended by the murderer in a grandiose way, it shows that they are a group of people. The people in Hidden Sand Village are a bunch of idiots.

It can't be said that it affects morale.

So the leading elder coughed again and said, "Well... let's forget about such an extremely small probability event, let's not discuss why Naruto Uzumaki came here, let's first talk about what attitude we should take towards Naruto Uzumaki .”

"If you want me to say, what are you thinking about so much, just arrest and interrogate." An elder with a scar on his face said impatiently: "This is Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the strongest existence among all Churiki. , even if you can’t get the Kyuubi, it’s good to exchange it with Konoha for money, Konoha is so rich, and he will definitely not be stingy when the time comes.”

I have to say that the elder’s proposal seems a bit interesting. Hidden Sand Village is located in the desert with poor resources. It has always been the poorest of the five major ninja villages. To subsidize the family, now the fourth Kazekage is dead, and the dust gold is gone.

This is also the reason why Shayin Village began to cooperate with outside merchants. They have always looked down on merchants before and only cooperated with big nobles, but the reality is too cruel. They have no money. The daimyo of the country is still reducing the funding of Sand Hidden Village every year, and if there is no way to do it, Ninja Village will disappear.

The leading elder thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "No, this is too risky. Everyone knows our current situation. We can't fight at all, and we don't even have a shadow. If Konoha invades We just couldn't resist it."

"Besides, Konoha doesn't necessarily have any preparations." The leading elder looked at the information on the table in front of him and said, "Did the two people who entered the village with Uzumaki Naruto find out their background?"

"Temporarily find out one." The ninja in charge of information transmission at the door said with the information he had just received: "One of them is called Hase Ryusheng. According to the information, he was one of the many war orphans who fled to Konoha. To open a grocery store, it should be a normal person, without any threats."

"Very good." The leading elder was very satisfied with the efficiency of his own intelligence department, and then asked, "What about the other one?"

"As for the other one..." The ninja at the door hesitated and said: "I haven't found any relevant information for the time being, no matter whether it is an ordinary person or a ninja, there is no similar person who can correspond to it, and the other party seems to appear out of thin air. , suddenly appeared beside Uzumaki Naruto."

"No information?" The leading elder couldn't help asking again: "Not even a name?"

"Although I really don't want to say that..." The ninja at the door said with a shameful expression: "But I really didn't find anything."

"Can't find anything..."

The leading elder groaned, and unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table in front of him. Even though he had experienced a lot of wind and waves, he still didn't know what to do now.

No way, this matter revealed two words from the beginning to the end.

Evil door.

A Renzhuli who ran to other people's base camp generously, an ordinary person who opened a grocery store, and a mysterious person whose name was not even different from the intelligence department.

The combination of these three people reveals the word "weird" from the inside to the outside.

Now Hidden Sand Village is in a very weak situation. It’s okay if Konoha has no other ideas. If this is a conspiracy by Konoha, once Hidden Sand Village acts rashly and let the other party catch it, then... the consequences Unbelievable.

At this moment, an elder sitting in a corner, wearing glasses and looking dull in front of him, with disheveled hair, said cautiously: "That... is it possible... is this Uzumaki Naruto really I just came to visit my friends, maybe things are not as complicated as we thought, but in fact, it was just that we all thought too much from the beginning?"

After the young elder finished speaking, the surrounding elders were quiet for a moment, and then they all burst into laughter. The elder with the scar on his face even laughed so hard that he hit the table in front of him.

The leading elder also couldn't help but said, "Elder Hehui, you just joined the Presbyterian Church and you are still young. It's okay if you don't understand what's in it, but remember to go through it in your own head when you speak next time, and don't say such stupid things again. If so, we bear the stability of Hidden Sand Village on our shoulders."

"You guys are too interesting." The elder with a scar on his face laughed and said while hammering the table in front of him, "There must be a limit to innocence."

After this episode, the leading elder no longer hesitated, looked at the people in the room and said: "The primary goal of Shayin Village is to maintain stability, and everything else must be compromised. Everything changes, let’s see what’s going on before we talk.”

The elders in the room looked at each other a few times, and one of them tentatively said, "You mean we just...do nothing?"

The leading elder pursed his lips, and said in an unreadable voice, "Mmm..."

Then the room became quiet, and all the elders looked at each other without speaking. Theoretically, this method should be the safest and most suitable for the current Shayin Village, but they felt a little unwilling.

Come on, that's Nine Tails!Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

As a ninja, one of his jobs is to spy on intelligence.

Now it is equivalent to Konoha directly putting his ultimate weapon in your house, and you tell me to do nothing?

This is not only a question of whether it is feasible, but also a question of the dignity of the ninja profession.

This is the same as a beautiful woman wearing revealing clothes standing in front of a flower picker, dancing and flirting, and then the flower picker can't say anything righteously, I'm not in good health recently, let's forget it.

What's the difference! ?

People can succumb to reality. It can be said that I don’t work hard, but the enemy is too fierce, but you can’t say that you can’t do nothing without doing anything. This is too much.

After being silent for about 10 minutes, a thin elder in the room suddenly opened his eyes and said tentatively, "Why don't we try to let Uzumaki Naruto and Chiyo-sama get in touch?"

"Oh?" Seeing that someone had suggested an idea, the leading elder immediately regained his spirits: "Tell me about it?"

The thin elder tried to say: "Chiyo-sama's son and daughter-in-law were not killed by Konoha's Hatake Mosaku on the battlefield. They must have no good feelings for Konoha's ninja. If she knows Konoha's Jinzhuriki When you come to our village, you will definitely be a little curious."

The leading elder thought for a while and said, "But Chiyo-sama hasn't asked about the village affairs for a long time. Even Konoha's Jinchuriki may not be interested in her."

"Don't worry about that. I read in the information that Naruto Uzumaki's teacher is called Kakashi Hatake, and Kakashi Hatake is the son of Mosaku Hatake. We just need to find an opportunity to tell Chiyo-sama the news. She definitely can't help it." The thin elder couldn't help but stand up and said: "We can collect information secretly while they are in conflict, no matter whether Naruto Uzumaki is real or not, or that mysterious person whose name cannot be found. People's strength, and whether there is someone protecting Uzumaki Naruto behind the scenes, these are all clues."

The skinny elder became more and more excited as he talked, and said with a strategizing look: "And even if it's time for Konoha's people to pursue it, we can also shirk that this is a personal grievance. Everything is the personal decision of Chiyo-sama. Hidden Village has nothing to do with it."

The leading elder listened to the thin elder's words and kept nodding his head. This plan could be said to have won his heart. It not only achieved the purpose of spying on the information, but also ensured that Konoha would not be held accountable afterwards. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Very good!" The leading elder didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately made a decision: "That's it, you can arrange it, remember not to let Lord Chiyo see our true thoughts, try to let Lord Chiyo know the news in a casual way. "

"Don't worry, leave it to me." The skinny elder patted his chest confidently and said, "I will make Master Chiyo feel that she heard the news by accident and has nothing to do with us." Not mentioning Sha Yin The calculation behind the village elder meeting, after Naruto and Gaara had exchanged greetings at home, Gaara began to accompany Naruto to stroll around the hidden sand village in the afternoon.

Kankuro and Temari did not follow because they had their own affairs, Hase Ryusheng said with a wink that he would not follow out if he wanted to practice in the room, as for Kyuubi, Gaara threw a consumption card directly, saying It was because of this card that he could eat whatever he wanted at the most expensive restaurant in the village, and then Kyuubi just took the card and ran to eat.

Naruto looked at the passers-by who kept stopping to salute Gaara along the way, and he couldn't help but said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to be so famous in Sand Hidden Village, you are really amazing."

"I just did what I should do, it's not a big deal." Gaara walked beside Naruto and said, "If it weren't for your help back then, the people in the village would wish for me to die sooner. "

"I just helped you clear up the misunderstandings in the past." Naruto shook his head and said, "What really makes you respected by the villagers is your own efforts, but it has nothing to do with me."

"Without your help, I wouldn't be what I am now." Gaara said with a rare expression of disagreement with Naruto's words: "People in the village only saw my change, and they didn't know the reason behind it. what is the reason."

Naruto was a little helpless Gaara, the other party was surprisingly stubborn on this point, so he could only change the subject and say: "Tell me how is your hidden sand village after what happened last time? Is the situation serious?"

"Although it is not very serious, the situation is not optimistic." Gaara didn't care about Naruto's identity as a ninja outside the village, and directly told the information about his ninja village: "The village is now The elders will be in charge of the management for the time being. Thanks to the timely retreat in Konoha last time, the casualties are not serious. It’s just that this incident has dealt a certain blow to the reputation and status of Sand Hidden Village in the world. Sand Hidden The village itself is poor in production, and the name of the country of the wind continues to reduce the funds of Hidden Sand Village."

"Before, it was because of my father..." Gaara opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say the name: "It was originally because the fourth generation of Kazekage would use ninjutsu to manipulate gold dust, so although the daimyo of the country of wind is reducing For funds, Shayin Village can survive on the gold placer. Now that the fourth generation of Kazekage has died suddenly, the source of placer gold has been cut off, and Shayin Village has lost a large amount of income. I'm afraid I can't even train ninjas."

Speaking of his father's death, Gaara didn't have too many expressions on his face. Although he was still shocked to a certain extent after hearing the news, but it's been so long, and he won't be emotionally fluctuated when he mentions it .

"Indeed." Naruto looked at the surrounding buildings with some emotion and said, "Your village is far behind Konoha in terms of size and prosperity. The location is too disadvantageous."

"Well, that's true."

Gaara has no objection to Naruto's blunt statement that Shayin Village is far from Konoha, because this is the reality in itself and there is nothing embarrassing about it. Besides, based on the relationship between him and Naruto, this thing There is nothing to care about in itself.

So Gaara nodded and continued: "So now the elders in the village are anxious to find a new source of income. It happened that one of the newly promoted elders suggested that it is better to take this opportunity to try to cooperate with outside businessmen and vigorously Develop the mineral resources of Shayin Village to supplement the village's funding gap."

"Cooperate with outside businessmen?" Naruto couldn't help thinking of the Machiai Naoto family he met before, and said thoughtfully: "Then what is your attitude towards this matter in Hidden Sand Village?"

"The villagers in the village don't care at all. A large part of them think it's worth a try, but there is a lot of opposition among the ninja community. How can they cooperate with those small businessmen outside? It's a shame for Yinsha Village. Gaara looked at the front with some sadness and said: "At first, most of the elders of the Presbyterian Church did not agree with this idea. Let’s deal with the current difficulties now.”

When Naruto heard Gaara say that most of the ninjas in Hidden Sand Village were opposed to cooperating with outside businessmen, there was no surprised expression on his face. In fact, it is not only Hidden Sand Village, but also most ninjas in the ninja world. mentality.

For the ninjas of Ninja Village, especially the five Ninja Villages, they have always belonged to a highly autonomous force, which can be called a country within a country. The only person who needs to obey on the surface is the daimyo, although Ninja Village usually accepts ordinary people task, but that is only to train new ninjas and earn a certain amount of income, which means that outsiders ask them to do things with money, and it is up to Ninja Village to decide whether to do it or not. .

But now that Shayin Village plans to cooperate with businessmen due to financial constraints, it is tantamount to pulling the other party into the position of a collaborator, which makes the ninjas in Ninja Village somewhat unacceptable.

The concept of class in this world is very serious. The son of a daimyo is a daimyo, the son of a vassal is a vassal, the son of a ninja is a ninja, and the son of a merchant can only be a merchant. There is a natural barrier between each class. Who is noble and who is humble has already been arranged.

Now the ninjas found that the businessmen they despised and despised had to become their collaborators, at least on the same level as themselves on the bright side, which was unacceptable to them.

"Cooperate with businessmen to jointly develop Sand Hidden Village?" Naruto nodded thoughtfully and said, "It is indeed a good idea. It is not easy for that elder to think of this method and have the courage to propose it."

"Naruto, are you praising that elder?" Gaara turned to look at Naruto in surprise and said, "You mean that elder's method is very good?"

"Let's not talk about whether I think it's good or not, what about you, Gaara, what do you think?" Naruto responded with a smile: "It doesn't matter what I think, what really matters is what you think, you are now Sasa The core figure of Hidden Village, one of the candidates for Future Wind Shadow, your thoughts will really change the future Hidden Sand Village."

"My thoughts?" Gaara frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head with a troubled expression and said, "I don't know, I don't know anyone who is in favor of this decision, Temari thinks it can be temporarily used as an expedient The plan, after getting over the current difficulties, I will definitely change it back, Kankuro is very opposed to it, but..."

Naruto asked calmly, "But what?"

Gaara looked up at the surrounding buildings, as well as the pedestrians on the road, sighed and said: "But I feel a little uncomfortable, Sand Hidden Village was obviously built to protect the village and villagers, but most of the money is spent It is used to train ninjas and develop ninja weapons. Since the establishment of Shayin Village, no matter whether it is strong or weak, the villagers of Shayin Village seem to have a bad life. The senior officials in the village don’t care about these. Ninjas and force."

Naruto listened to the doubts in Gaara's heart, smiled slightly and said: "This question is actually very simple. In your heart, who do you think is more important in Sand Hidden Village, the ninja? Or the villagers?"

"Or to put it another way." Naruto continued: "What is the real foundation of Hidden Sand Village, and who is the foundation for the existence of Hidden Sand Village? If you understand this, your current doubts will naturally be solved. gone."

"What is the real foundation of Hidden Sand Village..." Gaara muttered to himself, to be honest, he had never really thought about this question carefully.

After hearing this question, Gaara’s first reaction was that the foundation of Hidden Sand Village is the ninjas of Hidden Sand Village, but after thinking about it, without these villagers, it would be impossible for Hidden Sand Village to survive even with the ninjas of Hidden Sand Village. Now.

Naruto looked at Gaara's frown, couldn't help but patted Gaara's shoulder with a smile and said: "Don't worry, think about this question slowly, anyway, there should be a while before you become Kazekage, when the time comes Say it again."

Hearing Naruto's words, Gaara looked around in embarrassment and said in a low voice, "What you said, it seems that I've already decided to become Kazekage. I'm now a ninja from Hidden Sand Village."

"What does it matter, anyway, I think you are quite suitable." Naruto smiled and patted Gaara on the back and said: "What should be yours is yours. There is nothing embarrassing. Since you are the most suitable candidate, Then of course you have to do your part!"

"Let's not talk about this." Naruto smiled and waved his hands and said, "By the way, do you have any specialties here? It's better to eat. I really want to try it."
