Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

Upon hearing Aoki Yasunao's words, the faces of the Sand Village people present changed slightly.

Rasa's expression also turned sour.

In the past, Rasa might have given him some face, but now...

"Hmph, who are you? I am the Kazekage, here discussing matters with the Daimyo. Since when do you have the right to interrupt!"

"What did you say?"

Aoki Yasunao immediately glared, about to retort.

Rasa directly questioned.

"Daimyo-sama, I suggest you not let such an eyesore obstruct your appreciation of the beautiful scenery ahead!"

A trace of simple-heartedness flashed across the Daimyo's fat face.

"Kazekage, don't misunderstand. Aoki is just like this by nature. He doesn't have any malicious intent. It's just that there have always been some rumors in the Daimyo's manor. Alright, Aoki, you may step back for now."

Although Aoki Yasunao was somewhat unwilling, he obediently left.

Only then did the Daimyo speak.

"Kazekage, I certainly trust you. What you've said in the past is also correct. Our Daimyo's manor and the Sand Village exist as equals. However, I cannot pretend not to hear some of the rumors."

"You speak reasonably. Then, I wonder what your thoughts are?"

Rasa knew that since the Daimyo had brought it up, he must have a proposal.

Indeed...

"Kazekage, I heard that you only have one wife, is that right?"

"!!!"

Maki and Honoka behind Rasa exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise.

"As a man, how can one only have one wife? Look at me, I have three wives in my harem, and seven concubines besides."

Honoka's gaze instantly turned disgusted.

"And I have a younger sister, namely: Princess Tamako. She is as beautiful as white jade. If you don't mind, we can become even closer through marriage..."

At this moment, Rasa finally understood the Daimyo's true intentions, but how could he let the Daimyo get his wish?

If he wanted women, with his current strength, what kind couldn't he find?

"I'm sorry, Daimyo-sama, but I may have to decline your offer."

"Oh? Why? Is it that Kazekage you are unwilling to be close to me?"

"No... You misunderstand. You may not know, but my wife is currently pregnant. Under such circumstances, as a husband, to marry another woman would be disrespectful to my wife."

"!!!"

The Daimyo clearly hadn't expected this, and to be honest, Rasa's reason was truly difficult for him to refuse.

"I understand. It was impudent of me. Kazekage, you are truly a qualified husband. How about this, after your wife gives birth to the child, we can discuss this matter again. How does that sound?"

This time, Rasa didn't refuse. Anyway, another half a year or so would pass by then.

By that time, after half a year of development, the Sand Village would be able to completely shed the burden of the Daimyo's manor.

"Very well!"

Seeing Rasa agree, a simple-hearted smile reappeared on the Daimyo's face.

"That's wonderful. I look forward to the day when Kazekage and I become family..."

And so, with everyone harboring their own thoughts, the ships of the five great nations each entered a waterway and sailed into the Ryusa River...

As they entered the Ryusa River, the scenery of lush trees on both banks astonished everyone even more.

This made even the Daimyo of the Land of Wind feel bewildered.

Was this still his country in his memory?

However, the Kage of the other four villages seemed to understand something.

The power of Wood Release?

This was no longer a secret to the other four great ninja villages.

This also confirmed some of Minato's thoughts.

Chakra could not only be used as a weapon but also to benefit the village.

And so, amidst everyone's astonishment, densely packed ships sailed towards the Sand Village.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

The speed of ships in this era is truly slow!

Relying solely on wind power, it's only about fifteen kilometers per hour, taking about twenty-four hours to reach the Sand Village.

After the initial surprise, these pampered Daimyos became somewhat unable to endure the fatigue and went back to rest.

Rasa did want to fly directly back to the village, but he really couldn't do that.

That would be too much of a slap in the Daimyo's face.

He also couldn't conveniently cultivate here.

Thus, bored, he directly sat at the bow of the ship and began fishing.

Perhaps it was because the Sand Village contained senjutsu energy, attracting fish from the sea.

This made the Ryusa River very rich in fish.

Especially in Ryūto Lake, there were even sharks.

Some fishermen who had migrated from other countries and made a living by fishing quickly discovered this and specifically submitted a request to Shingu, applying to fish in Ryūto Lake.

Rasa certainly wouldn't refuse, as this also enriched the dining tables of the Sand Village villagers.

Just then, Honoka slowly walked over.

"What is it?"

"The Fourth Hokage of Konoha wants to see you!"

"!? So anxious? I understand, please invite him over!"

Although at this time, the distances between the five great nations and the five Kage were already very close, their respective statuses still prevented everyone from choosing to meet each other, all waiting for the formal meeting after arriving at the Sand Village.

Before long, Minato appeared on the deck of the Land of Wind's ship, along with three children.

Rasa glanced at them and became interested.

"Are these the younger generation of your Konoha who will participate in the final day of the competition?"

"Yes! To be precise, only Kakashi is."

Yes, appearing behind Minato were his three disciples.

"Kakashi, Rin, Obito!"

Since Minato became the Hokage, he had been somewhat lacking in teaching his three disciples. Feeling guilty, he chose to bring his three disciples along on this execution trip. Anyway, there were many people on this trip, and all the major families had sent people, so these three spots didn't make a difference.

At this time, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin were also very nervous.

After all, sitting in front of them was the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village, who had been promoted by Konoha as a demon, causing heavy losses to Konoha, and whose prestige now shook the entire ninja world.

Even Kakashi, who had always been a little adult, was somewhat flustered.

Especially Rasa's next sentence, which frightened the three children present and caused them to change color.

"Your Konoha is truly bold. If I remember correctly, this kid's father is Hatake Sakumo, right? His father killed the son and daughter-in-law of our Sand Village elder Chiyo!"

"!!!"

Obito and Rin immediately looked horrified, and cold sweat also flowed from Kakashi's forehead.

Honoka also narrowed her eyes slightly and looked over.

However, Namikaze Minato said very calmly.

"I think Kazekage-dono would not make things difficult for a child."

Rasa remained noncommittal.

"I have no interest, but others may not."

As soon as the words fell, Honoka unreservedly released her killing intent.

"Forgot to tell you, Honoka is also considered a disciple of Elder Chiyo."

This time, Namikaze Minato's expression also stiffened somewhat.

Fortunately, Rasa had no interest in wasting time on this kind of issue.

"Alright, enough nonsense. You're so anxious to see me, it's not just to show off your Konoha's younger generation, right?"

Seeing this, Minato breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a slight smile on his face.

"Although it's a bit strange, besides letting these children see the world, I actually want to ask you for some experience in governing the village. After all, in the position of Kage, you, Kazekage, are doing too well compared to me."

"!!!"

This time, not only was Rasa stunned, but Honoka and Minato's three disciples all looked surprised.

"Hahaha..."

Rasa also suddenly laughed out loud.

"Interesting, seeing that you are so sincere, if I don't say anything, it would make me seem stingy."

Rasa thought for a moment.

"You should still remember the incident a year ago when your elder Danzo attacked me, right!?"

Of course, Rasa wasn't trying to settle old scores.

"If you can figure out why I let him go, perhaps you can understand how to do the best job in the position of Kage..."
