Chapter 31: Arriving at the Sand Hidden Village
The Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are not connected, and there is a blank buffer zone in the middle. In fact, it's not just the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind; there are some small countries as buffer zones between major ninja countries, which can effectively reduce friction between countries.
But for these small countries in the buffer zone, being sandwiched between two major countries, life is not very comfortable. It's fine during peace, but once there is war, the first to suffer and bleed are these small countries sandwiched in the middle!
In order to avoid burning the flames of war to their own country, the buffer zone became a place of contention for all sides, and these small countries were inexplicably turned into battlefields, leading to heavy casualties among the people living in these small countries!
Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization in the memory world, when he was young, because the Second Shinobi World War involved his country, his direct family members were killed by Konoha ninjas, which was also one of the main reasons why Nagato destroyed Konoha later!
Although the ninja world was peaceful later, the small countries on the borders of major ninja countries also got the opportunity for peaceful development, but those had nothing to do with them now.
Now the ninja world is in the Third Shinobi World War period. Although the troops of various countries have basically retreated to their own borders, these surrounding small countries are still in a state of extreme anxiety. They are afraid that the major ninja countries don't know when they will fight again, and they don't know when they will become the victims of their interest wars! But as the weak, they have no way to change these situations, and can only hide in their own homes, living a life of fear and trembling!
With the speed of Minato and Tsunade, they had already reached the border of the Land of Fire in one morning. As long as they passed the buffer zone, it would be the Land of Wind, and then walking forward for about half a day, they would reach the Sand Hidden Village!
The junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind is a country called the Land of Rivers. At this time, there are very few pedestrians on the mainland of the Land of Rivers, and merchants coming and going between countries are even less seen. Although Konoha and the Sand Hidden Village are not at war now, the ninja world is very chaotic everywhere, and wars are being fought everywhere. They don't know when the flames of war will burn here! So they basically stay in their own homes and don't come out!
And pedestrians on the road, once they see that the people coming are ninjas, will show disgust and hatred, fearful expressions, and then go home and close their own doors!
"War is really cruel! Especially for this small country, it is clearly the struggle of major ninja countries, but just because these small countries live between two major countries, this place has to be turned into a battlefield," Minato said with emotion!
"For the interests of their respective villages, ninjas have already launched the First to Third Shinobi World Wars, but this great war only brings mutual harm, mutual hatred, and the innocent deaths of these civilians. The actions of the ninja world have always been wrong. Besides deriving monsters named hatred, only endless resentment is left! We were also one of the members of this mistake, but now we are different. Now we are working hard to change these. Or maybe now these ninjas have unforgivable hatred for these civilians, but I believe everything will slowly change now! Didn't Naruto let us be reborn for this point?" Tsunade comforted Minato.
"That's true," Minato revealed a relieved expression and smiled, "Then let's rest for a while and continue on our way~"
After passing through the Land of Rivers, Minato and Tsunade didn't stop and continued to move toward the Sand Hidden Village. After a day of full-speed travel, they finally arrived at the Sand Hidden Village!
But at this time, it was in the Third Shinobi World War, and the Sand Hidden Village was very alert to outsiders, which led to Tsunade and Minato not being able to easily sneak in. Just when they were having a headache, they met Baki. With Baki's help, they successfully entered the Sand Hidden Village without alerting anyone!
Baki was already the person in charge of the combat unit in the memory world, and as one of the future high-level officials of the Sand Hidden Village, Baki had already begun to contact the management level now! Seeing Minato and Tsunade arrive at the Sand Hidden Village, Baki didn't feel surprised at all. On the contrary, he felt that Minato and Tsunade came a bit slowly! It caused him to wait here for several days! Originally thought that only Tsunade would come! But didn't expect that Minato Namikaze, who wasn't a reborn one, would also follow Tsunade together. But such a problem wasn't big. Letting one or two enter the Sand Hidden Village, Baki could still handle it, not to mention that most of the duty personnel now were reborn ones, this was even simpler...
As Gaara's teacher, Baki knew very well how good the relationship between Gaara and Naruto was, and Konoha and the Sand Hidden Village also became the firmest allies because of their relationship! Knowing the future information, from the beginning of rebirth, he had been guarding the defense line waiting for Konoha people to come!
He believed that Konoha people wouldn't let Gaara's mother die! Baki led Minato and Tsunade to Rasa's house all the way, introducing the situation of the Sand Hidden Village while walking.
At this time, Rasa was already in Konoha. As the future Fourth Kazekage, Rasa's house naturally had Anbu guarding it, but Baki was a management level of the Sand Hidden Village, plus Chiyo's operation, so the Anbu in the Fourth Kazekage's house were all reborn ones!
They were very clear about the purpose of Tsunade and Minato coming. So they didn't encounter any obstruction from these reborn ones! Baki stepped forward and knocked on the door. The one who opened the door was four-year-old Temari. After opening the door and seeing Baki, Minato, and Tsunade, a joyful expression appeared on her childish face. As one of the reborn ones, Temari and Kankuro knew very well that in a few days it would be the birth day of their younger brother Gaara, but at the same time, it was also the time when their mother Karura passed away. In this time period now, the only one who could save their mother was the number one medical ninja in the ninja world, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade!
But it had been a week since rebirth, and there were only a few days left until their younger brother's birth, but the two sisters and brothers were clearly anxious because they hadn't seen Konoha people come yet! If Tsunade hadn't come today, the two sisters and brothers might have gone to find Chiyo. Let her send Sand Hidden Village ninjas to look for them!
Fortunately, Tsunade arrived in time! Besides the two sisters and brothers Temari and Kankuro, there were also the pregnant Karura and her younger brother Yashamaru in the house...
The ending of this person Yashamaru in the memory world wasn't very good either, because of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa's order to assassinate Gaara, the result failed, and finally died by self-detonation. His death made Gaara completely degenerate and became an Asura who only loved himself. Until he met Naruto...
Of course, these were all things in the memory world. As for whether they would happen in the future, Minato and Tsunade didn't dare to be sure, but if they continued to develop according to the current situation, the possibility of this situation appearing was basically zero!
At this time, Karura was sitting on the sofa resting, and her younger brother Yashamaru was doing housework. The family was happy. Seeing someone come in, both of them raised their heads to look at the door side, and found Baki bringing two Konoha people in. The faces of the two sisters and brothers changed slightly. Yashamaru hurriedly blocked in front of his sister, one hand quickly took out a kunai from the waist bag behind, and the other hand pulled Kankuro, who was giggling beside him, behind him, and then looked at them with alert!
Minato and Tsunade felt somewhat helpless seeing this scene, because the two of them weren't reborn ones, and it was currently the Third Shinobi World War period. Although Konoha and the Sand Hidden Village weren't at war, Yashamaru and Karura sisters and brothers both knew these two people. After all, one was Konoha's Sannin, the ninja world's saint hand Tsunade, and the other was Konoha's Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze. To find someone in the ninja world who didn't know them, it was really not easy!
After a brief loss of focus, Karura, who came back to her senses, walked out, signaled Yashamaru to put away the kunai and withdraw, and then waved to Minato and Tsunade and said:
"Two people, you have worked hard coming from afar. I don't know what you are looking for me for?"
As the wife of the future Fourth Kazekage, Karura was also calm in the face of danger. She knew that if Tsunade and Minato wanted to take action against them, the two sisters and brothers would be killed instantly, and it was impossible to resist at all! At the same time, she also believed that Baki wouldn't betray the Sand Hidden Village!
And now her husband was signing an alliance agreement in Konoha, they were high-level officials of Konoha, it was impossible they didn't know, so they traveled thousands of miles to the Sand Hidden Village, it wasn't to kill themselves!
It wasn't to kill themselves, and they knew her husband was in Konoha, so it couldn't be to find her husband!
So they traveled thousands of miles to the Sand Hidden Village, it could only be to find her!
Minato and Tsunade looked at each other, somewhat not knowing how to speak, because Temari and Kankuro were still just a few-year-old children now. Even if they told Karura about the reborn ones, she wouldn't believe it! And Baki had been waiting for Konoha people to come since rebirth, so he hadn't told her, so Karura and Yashamaru sisters and brothers didn't know about the reborn ones!
Seeing Tsunade and Minato somewhat embarrassed, at this time Baki walked out. He knew that now was the time for him to come out and explain! Minato and Tsunade were outsiders after all, and Temari and Kankuro were too young, so what they said was hard to make people believe, so among the people present, only he coming out to explain this matter was more appropriate!
Summarized the language, and then Baki said: "Regarding the purpose of Minato-sama and Tsunade-sama coming, let me explain it!"
