Chapter 175: Shengzai: Don

Seeing Baki's rogue posture of not being convinced and wanting to fight, Koharu Utatane was annoyed, but she also had a helpless posture.

The current Hidden Sand Village is truly in a state of not being afraid of wearing shoes when barefoot.

The village was originally poor, and even the Fourth Kazekage was backstabbed by Orochimaru this time. Compared to the Hidden Leaf, they are the ones who are truly at the end of their rope.

At this point, if the Hidden Leaf is aggressive again, it is impossible to rule out the possibility that the Hidden Sand Village will really jump over the wall in a hurry.

"If there is no sufficient war compensation, materials of corresponding value can be used as a substitute," Homura Mitokado, who was on the side, proposed another feasible plan.

However, facing this response plan proposed by the Hidden Leaf, Baki still did not intend to loosen his mouth, because their Hidden Sand Village's specialties are not many. If they really use them to offset the compensation, it is very likely that the Hidden Sand Village will really decline to the point of being kicked out of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

"Since that's the case, let's take the One-Tail Shukaku as the war compensation this time and compensate the Hidden Leaf Village for the losses."

Originally, Baki wanted to refuse the material offset, but when he thought that besides sand, their Hidden Sand Village seemed to have a tailed beast, he immediately proposed it.

For the Hidden Sand Village, the One-Tail Jinchuriki Gaara is not liked. After the Fourth Kazekage Rasa died, their Hidden Sand Village didn't even have anyone who could stop Gaara from going berserk.

For a controllable Jinchuriki, the tailed beast is naturally an important combat power, but for the current Hidden Sand Village, the One-Tail is a hot potato.

"Are you kidding! Can a tailed beast be used as war compensation? And strictly speaking, the Hidden Sand's One-Tail Shukaku was originally allocated to your ninja village by our Lord First Hokage, right?"

"Now you take the tailed beast that our Lord First Hokage allocated to your ninja village and use it to compensate for our Hidden Leaf's losses. This abacus of the Hidden Sand is too loud!"

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado naturally could not agree to the plan of using the One-Tail to compensate for losses.

Just kidding, their Hidden Leaf already has a Nine-Tails that is enough to make them overwhelmed, and now another One-Tail comes. The Hidden Sand is afraid that they want to destroy their Hidden Leaf!

The behavior of the two villages disliking the tailed beast made Shengzai on the side speechless for a while. If the occasion were not inappropriate, he would have wanted to express that they could all be given to their Hidden Mist Village.

Hashirama Senju allocated the tailed beasts to the major ninja villages for the sake of ninja world stability, because in the eyes of the ninjas of that generation, tailed beasts were war weapons with extremely strong combat power.

But now that time has passed, the level of ninjas in the ninja world is getting lower and lower. The tailed beasts that were used as thugs and combat power before have become uncontrollable existences because the overall level of ninjas has become vegetable, so that the tailed beasts have gradually become hot potatoes like disasters.

The attitude of the major ninja villages toward tailed beasts now is mostly in a state of being left alone or not caring at all.

Aside from the Hidden Cloud Village, which developed the value of Jinchuriki to the limit, the Hidden Leaf's disposal of the Nine-Tails is imprisonment and surveillance.

The Hidden Cloud Village let the Four-Tails be a rogue ninja outside and didn't pay attention to it at all. The Hidden Mist Village has also been looking for the Three-Tails since the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, the Fourth Mizukage, died.

The Hidden Sand Village doesn't even need to be mentioned, and even as Gaara's father, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, has always hated his own child, and even wished Gaara would die early.

They all say Naruto's childhood was miserable, but they don't know that the gourd baby is the Jinchuriki with the darkest childhood.

Naruto is miserable, but his parents loved him, and although the people in the village excluded him and hated him, at least the people who wanted to kill him, although not completely absent, were not many.

The gourd baby is different. From the moment he was born, everyone thought he killed his mother. Other people around feared him, hated him, and excluded him, that's fine.

But even his closest father and uncle wanted to kill him, and his sister and brother also feared him.

He is not without relatives, but his relatives all want to kill him. This kind of despair is much darker than Naruto's loneliness.

Experiencing the betrayal of the closest people and the fear of being unable to sleep all year round, if it weren't for "Mother's love," Gaara wouldn't know how many times he would have died.

Compared to that, Naruto's childhood of eating expired instant noodles and being isolated by others is really just a minor illness.

Just like this time, Gaara was used as a weapon to attack the Hidden Leaf, but this operation failed, and in the absence of utility, he was going to be sold by the village again.

Shengzai is a bit moved by the seedling of the Fifth Kazekage. In his heart, he is thinking, should he abduct Gaara to their Hidden Mist Village?

"Baki Jonin, since the Hidden Leaf does not agree with you using the One-Tail as post-war compensation, why don't you sell the One-Tail to our Hidden Mist Village?"

The words Shengzai suddenly said directly made everyone present stunned.

Logically speaking, in such a high-level ninja village meeting, Shengzai, as a guard, is simply not qualified to speak.

But the problem is that Shengzai is not an ordinary guard. In this Konoha Crush plan, the combat power Shengzai displayed cannot be ignored by anyone, so what he said also attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Lord Mizukage, can the words spoken by Hidden Mist Jonin Kaguya Shengzai represent your meaning?"

Koharu Utatane looked at Mei Terumi, who was also surprised, and couldn't help but ask.

And Mei Terumi, after being stunned for a moment, finally nodded and said: "If the Hidden Sand Village is willing to hand over the One-Tail Jinchuriki to our Hidden Mist Village, our Hidden Mist Village is willing to help the Hidden Sand Village compensate for this loss."

Mei Terumi doesn't know what Shengzai wants to do with the One-Tail, but she still chose to believe him, because so far, Shengzai has never let her down.

Since Shengzai did this, there must be a reason for him to do so, even if she, Mei Terumi, hasn't thought of what help the tailed beast has for the Hidden Mist Village for the time being.

Seeing Mei Terumi agree so readily, Baki of the Hidden Sand and Koharu Utatane of the Hidden Leaf began to hesitate instead.

Although they also feel that the current tailed beast will only bring disaster to the village and is almost useless, they can't stand their own brain-filling.

Kaguya Shengzai of the Hidden Mist Village, from the previous performance, it is not difficult to see that the other party is a powerhouse with both strength and means.

Now that the other party is so interested in the One-Tail, it shows that the One-Tail must have special places, or the other party has means to control the tailed beast.

After all, the Fifth Mizukage and Shengzai are not fools. If the One-Tail is useless and will bring trouble to the village, why would the other party pay such a huge price for it?

In short, the current Hidden Mist Village is unexpectedly powerful, and any behavior of helping the enemy now cannot be done!

After Koharu Utatane and Baki looked at each other, they had the same judgment in their hearts and reached a consensus in a short time.
