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

Although the pressure released by Rasa as the Kazekage was useful against ordinary ninjas, it was useless against the five who remained.

Considering individual strength, the five people before him, except for Maki, were not necessarily stronger than Rasa, but it would not be easy for Rasa to defeat them.

Therefore, in response to Rasa's question, they all sat there with their own postures, but no one spoke. Only Maki couldn't help but say,

"Kazekage-sama, the Anbu are ready and awaiting your command."

"Well, Maki, you must keep a close watch on the Anbu, they will be of great use later. What about the rest of you?"

Rasa gave Maki a satisfied look and continued to look at the remaining four.

However, the remaining four still didn't say anything, vaguely confronting Rasa.

Rasa was not in a hurry. Anyway, he occupied the righteousness of the Kazekage. Although the world of Hokage was a mess, generally speaking, it was still relatively traditional, especially in military institutions like ninja villages, where the constraints of hierarchy were still very strong on everyone.

He also looked at the few people coldly, and the entire conference room fell into a strange silence.

Perhaps it was because he couldn't bear this silence any longer, or perhaps he had to give Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, some face after all, Ebizo, who was sitting on the left, finally opened his somewhat hoarse voice and said.

"Fourth Kazekage, this is no longer something that our Sunagakure can decide on its own. The Daimyo also intends for us to intervene!"

"Humph! Sunagakure is Sunagakure, and the Daimyo is the Daimyo. They don't seem to have the right to order us!"

Ebikura also spoke, saying in her somewhat cold and arrogant voice.

"That's true, but Sunagakure's geographical environment is too barren. If we want to obtain funds for development, we cannot do without the support of the Daimyo."

Mikawa also spoke, sighing.

Ebikura also knew this, and snorted coldly with some displeasure.

Sunagakure's current situation is that without the support of the Daimyo, even the village's food supply is a big problem. Sometimes, even if they have money, they need someone to sell them food.

Now that four people had spoken, only Chiyo was left. Rasa also looked at Chiyo, but he didn't say anything, just looked at her.

At this point, there was no point in Chiyo continuing to persist, so, with a somewhat unreliable laugh, she looked at Rasa and said.

"It seems that the Kazekage already has an idea. In that case, what difference does it make whether this old woman speaks or not?"

As soon as Chiyo said this, everyone turned their attention to Rasa. Rasa was already very satisfied that the scene could turn out like this. At least it showed that his identity as Kazekage still had a deterrent effect on these people. Therefore, he didn't delay any longer and spoke directly.

"I do have some ideas, but before I say what I'm thinking, there's one thing I need to confirm."

After Rasa finished speaking, he glanced at everyone present and asked a question.

"Everyone here, do you think we can really win against Konoha?"

As soon as Rasa's words fell, the conference room fell silent, but this silence was not the strange silence just now, but a silence intertwined with depression and sighs.

Unlike the others who were enthusiastically discussing earlier, the people who remained were the top existences in the village, whether in terms of strength or vision. They had experienced too many things, so they naturally understood the answer to this question.

Although it may sound like boosting others' morale and diminishing our own prestige, in terms of true strength, Sunagakure and Konoha were not on the same level at all. If it hadn't been for the actions of Kumogakure and Iwagakure this time, which gave Sunagakure a chance to take advantage of, Sunagakure would not have had the idea of attacking Konoha.

Seeing this, Rasa didn't force them to say the answer to this question, but said directly.

"It seems that everyone already has the answer in their hearts. Since Sunagakure was established, we have had countless conflicts and wars with other countries and ninja villages. Many people have died, but what have we gained? Not to mention our village, even our country, in these decades, the territory is still the same. We Sunagakure can only huddle in this desert."

Rasa's words made everyone fall into deep thought.

It wasn't that they didn't understand these principles. In fact, although everyone was a ninja born for killing, no one really liked war. After all, as long as there was war, there would be death.

Everyone present had lost loved ones because of war, and everyone had already experienced that kind of pain.

"Then Fourth Kazekage, do you mean not to intervene in this war? What about the Daimyo's side!?"

Ebizo asked, seemingly because Rasa's words had made Ebizo realize something. His tone was much more agreeable.

Of course, Rasa didn't think so.

"No, of course we have to fight."

Rasa's tone was firm. He was still hoping to use this war to establish his prestige in the village and secure his position as Kazekage.

"Otherwise, neither the Daimyo nor the ninjas in the village will agree. Because of the Third Hokage, everyone has long harbored resentment towards Konoha. However, we can't fight like we used to. Before we fight, we must determine what our purpose in launching the war is?"

There were many answers to this question, and everyone could say what they were thinking. While everyone was pondering, someone couldn't help but speak.

"Fourth Kazekage, if you have any plans, you can tell us directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. This old woman is old, and if I sit down any longer, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep."

Rasa looked at the old woman with some displeasure, retracted his gaze, and said directly.

"Since that's the case, then I won't keep you in suspense. Elder Ebizo said earlier that our Sunagakure is located in a barren desert, and what we lack most is military spending for development. Although my bloodline limit can find gold dust in the desert, this is not a long-term solution. In that case, our purpose in launching this war should not be the same as before, with the land of the Land of Fire as our goal. This time, we only have one goal, and that is to plunder as much funds and materials as possible within the Land of Fire. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we will solve as much as possible the problem of future development military spending and materials for our Sunagakure."

As Rasa's words fell, everyone's attention was finally attracted this time.

Regardless of what opinions the people present had about Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, their goals were the same in terms of the overall development of the village and the demand for materials and military spending.

Rasa didn't keep them in suspense and took out a map.

"This is a map of the Land of Fire. My plan this time is like this. I, Ebikura, and Mikawa, will each lead a group of ninjas and quickly attack here in the Land of Fire within a day."

As he spoke, he drew a line on it with his finger, dividing the Land of Fire into two.

"I think everyone is clear that it is impossible to completely defeat Konoha. Therefore, after we arrive here, we only have one goal: and that is to delay as much time as possible...."

"Delay time!?"

Everyone was a little unclear about what this meant.

Rasa didn't keep them in suspense and said directly.

"I said earlier that our purpose this time is military spending and materials. The Land of Fire is rich. Although we only attacked one-third of the Land of Fire's borders, there are already several large cities like Sumori, Monobe, and Oka within this one-third of the Land of Fire's territory. There are too many great nobles of the Land of Fire in these cities. Our goal is the wealth they possess. We will try our best to delay Konoha's counterattack. During this time, Elder Ebizo and Maki, I want you to lead your subordinates and plunder all the wealth possessed by the nobles in these cities and bring it back to the village..."
