Chapter 236

"What exactly is going on, why do I have to return to the village for a meeting?"

As soon as he sat down, Sate questioned the Hidden Sand high-level officials in the room without any politeness.

"Big brother, you are the Kazekage, okay?"

"You ask why we called you back for a meeting."

A group of Hidden Sand high-level officials covered their faces with one hand, unable to look directly at this Third Kazekage.

"Third Generation!"

"You are the Kazekage, not a miner!!!!"

Hearing this, Chiyo on the side finally couldn't help it, cold light flashing in her eyes, and she reprimanded Sate mercilessly.

Hearing Chiyo's words, Sate was indifferent on the surface, but a hint of profundity flashed in his eyes.

"Kazekage or miner, it doesn't matter."

"As long as everything I do can make the Hidden Sand prosperous, isn't that enough?"

"Could it be that you haven't enjoyed the benefits of the supplies from the Land of Water?"

Sate crossed his arms in front of his chest and said in a very calm tone; while speaking, a sharp look flashed in Sate's eyes.

At this moment, the aura belonging to the Kazekage erupted from the Third Kazekage's body, contending with Chiyo without giving an inch.

"You!!!"

Blocked by Sate's words, Chiyo wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

The Third Kazekage was right; he was working hard to mine in the Wind Desert, was it for himself?

He was still for the entire Hidden Sand!

Moreover, the trade between the Land of Wind and the Land of Water had already begun to show results, and various supplies from the Land of Water had been applied within the Land of Wind.

Just as the Third Kazekage said, they had already benefited from it.

A large amount of food, medical supplies, and various resources from the Land of Water had caused the prices within the Hidden Sand Village to drop significantly, greatly reducing the pressure on the village.

Not only that, the influx of a large number of war supplies not only supplemented the war consumption in the previous war with the Rain ninjas, but also had a slight surplus.

All of this was dug out by this Third Kazekage, who looked like a vagrant, in the Wind Desert without sleep or rest!

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions in the room became a bit complex, and they couldn't help but have a bit more respect for the Third Kazekage.

"Alright, let's stop this topic for now."

"We don't oppose the iron sand trade with the Hidden Mist."

"Third Generation, we called you back today to discuss other important matters."

At this time, Ebizo on the side smoothed things over and explained to the Third Kazekage.

"Alright, if you have something to say, just say it."

The Third Kazekage didn't hold onto Chiyo, just nodded slowly.

Chiyo and Ebizo, the sister and brother, had deep-rooted influence within the Hidden Sand; even though he was the Kazekage, he had to choose to avoid some things.

"Calling you back is actually for one thing."

"That is, the village intends to launch a war against the Hidden Leaf, and now we are seeking your consent."

Ebizo said unhurriedly, his eyes fixed on the Third Kazekage.

Not only that, most of the Hidden Sand high-level officials in the room looked at the Third Kazekage with a strange look.

Hearing this, the Third Kazekage's expression went from surprise to anger, and then from anger to coldness.

"The village launches a war against the Hidden Leaf?"

"Seeking my consent?"

The Third Kazekage scanned everyone in the room, his eyes containing cold anger.

"Hehehe..."

"Good, very good!"

The Third Kazekage Sate scanned all the Hidden Sand high-level officials present and found that more than half of them avoided his gaze.

The guilt in these people's eyes had already explained everything.

As the Third Kazekage, such a big thing as declaring war on the Hidden Leaf was not notified to him in advance, but he was only notified when it was too late.

Such an act showed that everyone present didn't put him in their eyes at all.

Or...

Under the instigation of some people, they were blinded by greed.

Thinking of this, he scanned Chiyo and Ebizo with sharp eyes, and the two were completely indifferent to the Third Kazekage's gaze, their eyes full of calmness.

In the eyes of the two, the young Third Kazekage's methods were still a bit immature.

Sate had already seen it; the meeting was called "discussion," but it was actually a "forced palace" against him.

"Regarding the village's war proposal, I disagree!"

A sharp cold light flashed in Sate's eyes, and then he said sternly.

Undoubtedly, how could he agree to this war launched by Chiyo and Ebizo to force the palace?

Beyond war and expansion, the Third Kazekage had already seen another path that could lead the Hidden Sand to prosperity; why bother to wade into the muddy water of war at this time?

Furthermore, Chiyo and Ebizo used the method of forcing the palace to force him to launch a war against the Hidden Leaf; this behavior was truly unbearable for the Third Kazekage.

No matter what the reason, this was undoubtedly a provocation by the two to the Kazekage's authority.

So no matter what, the Third Kazekage could not agree to the two's request.

"Third Generation, don't be willful."

And to this, Chiyo just said indifferently, and at the same time, her eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous expression.

"Yes, yes, Third Generation, this is a god-given opportunity for the Hidden Sand!"

"With the Rain ninjas holding back the Hidden Leaf's main force, we can invade the Land of Fire and take advantage of the situation to reap the benefits!"

"In this way, the Hidden Sand will get rid of poverty and no longer look at the faces of other Great Nations!"

"..."

For a time, several other Hidden Sand high-level officials in the room also advised the Third Kazekage.

In the room, only a few people chose to stand on the Third Kazekage's side and vetoed the war proposal.

It turned out that since when, many high-level officials of the Hidden Sand had been bought and persuaded by Chiyo and Ebizo.

Seeing this situation, the Third Kazekage's face became more and more gloomy; looking at the noisy crowd in the room, he coldly said no more.

He also knew that it was too late, and he could no longer stop it.

Chiyo and Ebizo, as disciples of the Second Kazekage, held the elite puppet master troops of the Hidden Sand in their hands.

And at this moment, the Jonin squad leader of the Hidden Sand, as well as the heads of various institutions, were already standing beside Chiyo and Ebizo, choosing to support the war against the Hidden Leaf.

It was too late, and now that the general trend was gone, it was too late for the Third Kazekage to say anything.

"Since that's the case, why waste words."

"Vote."

The Third Kazekage said coldly, his eyes without a trace of extra emotion.

Seeing the Third Kazekage compromise, Chiyo and Ebizo looked at each other and saw the triumph in each other's eyes.

Unsurprisingly, the result of the vote was that those who supported the war were in the majority.

And under this result, the Hidden Sand would also take advantage of the gap when the Rain ninjas launched a war against the Hidden Leaf to sneak attack the Hidden Leaf.

"Since that's the case, I'll see what this war can bring to the Hidden Sand."

"Elder Chiyo, Elder Ebizo, I hope you can give the village a satisfactory explanation by then."

After leaving this sentence, the Third Kazekage got up angrily and slammed the door, leaving a room full of Hidden Sand high-level officials looking at each other.

To this, Chiyo remained unmoved and said slowly.

"Next, I will arrange the combat plan for the Hidden Sand..."

Chiyo was indifferent to the Third Kazekage's fury; in her view, this was just a child who couldn't play and flipped the table, nothing to worry about.

Originally, Chiyo had many ways, even if she wanted to launch a war, she would make the Third Kazekage look better.

But she chose the one that made the Third Kazekage the most embarrassed, and the reason was very simple.

Recalling the cold and desolate scene at the village entrance when she and Ebizo returned to the village with the Sand ninjas who had returned from the draw a few days ago, cold light flashed in Chiyo's eyes.

In Chiyo's view, the Third Kazekage's move was undoubtedly to deliberately lose face for her and Ebizo.

And now, an eye for an eye, she had returned it all.

In Chiyo's heart, launching a war against the Hidden Leaf and plundering the fertile land of the Land of Fire was the right path for the vast Hidden Sand.
