The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 594 The Coward Tactic

Sure enough, the brief eye contact did not last long.

Rasa was the first to succumb to the oppressive aura of Ebizo and hastily averted his gaze.

And then refocused his attention on the official letter placed in front of him.

At this moment, he was racking his brains trying to figure out who would be the most appropriate person to send to handle this matter.

Just then, Ebizo suddenly spoke up:

"There's no need to waste any more time thinking about it, Wind Shadow. In my opinion, sending Maki to carry out this mission is the best option."

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha was slightly taken aback, because he had also thought of Maki as a suitable candidate.

What annoyed him was that Ebizo and Yokura had obviously discussed and reached a consensus beforehand.

If I fail to return in time, they will likely act without hesitation and send Maki away first.

Looking back on the past six months, I've been stuck in the desert, working hard all day, and I've been feeling incredibly frustrated.

Now, encountering such a distressing matter has truly infuriated Luo Sha.

Are you teaching me how to do things?

Luo Sha stared at Ebizo with a sinister look on his face.

"Ah……"

Ebizo's lips curled slightly upward, and he let out a contemptuous chuckle.

Although he didn't say another word, the sarcasm in his laughter was all too clear.

Those present could clearly feel the strong sense of disdain.

After all, Ebizo's sister died on the brutal battlefield.

The man before him, Fengying, who only knew how to bury himself in mining to pay off his debts and whose position was precarious, could hardly earn him any respect.

Rasa's eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent, like two beams of cold light shooting straight at Ebizo.

He lowered his voice and said coldly, "I am still the Wind Shadow!"

However, Ebizo showed no fear in the face of Rasa's fierce gaze.

He simply replied, "In that case, Lord Kazekage, please choose someone to go."

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Sha slammed the official letter in his hand onto the table in front of him with a loud "bang".

"Just because Konoha calls us over doesn't mean we have to go. I don't think so."

Upon hearing this, Ebizo's eyebrows furrowed tightly together.

"Fengying, what do you mean by that?"

Luo Sha stretched out his finger and tapped heavily on the open official document on the table:

"During the Jonin World War, our Sunagakure suffered heavy losses, the most devastating blows!"

"Now the village is not only short of manpower, but also lacks funds."

"Therefore, no matter what demands Konoha makes, it is absolutely impossible for us to fulfill them given our current situation!"

"Anyway, Iwagakure and Kumogakure will definitely send people to spy on the relevant information, so we just need to wait quietly."

Luo Sha crossed his arms and said calmly.

"Konoha is currently short of manpower and has no way to mobilize a large number of troops to attack our Sunagakure."

He paused, then continued his analysis.

"Under such circumstances, rather than sending people over there to invite humiliation, it would be better to close the country's borders and protect ourselves first."

Although Rasa's words made sense, Ebizo did not agree with his point of view.

Ebizo retorted, "Kazekage, if we can't obtain firsthand intelligence, our subsequent countermeasures will become extremely passive!"

However, Rasa remained unfazed by Ebizo's questioning, waving his hand and replying:

"Regardless of whether the rumors about the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, are true or false, they don't really make much difference to the current situation of our Sunagakure."

"Anyway, they're not going to come and attack our Sunagakure village on their own initiative."

It must be admitted that Luo Sha's cowardly and shameless behavior does have some merit.

After all, the geographical environment of the place where Sunagakure is located is quite special.

Even if we could actually take this place, the price we would have to pay would probably be enormous, or even a completely unprofitable deal.

Moreover, if Konoha were to launch an attack on Sunagakure, their rear would be vulnerable, and Iwagakure and Kumogakure would likely seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on their main base.

While it is indeed admirable that your Konoha Village was the victor in that war, I'm sorry to say that our Sunagakure Village has lost everything.

We're giving up!

At this moment, Ye Cang, who had been silent all along, suddenly broke the silence.

"Kage, don't forget, Minato Namikaze possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, which is known as the fastest ninja in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha's expression turned cold. He glanced at Ye Cang without any emotion and replied stiffly:

"So what if he has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique? Does he think he can instantly travel from the distant Hidden Leaf Village across thousands of mountains and rivers to our Hidden Sand Village?"

Just as Yekura was about to continue arguing, Ebizo quickly gave her a stern look, signaling her to shut up.

Seeing this, Ye Cang had no choice but to swallow back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

At this moment, Ebizo spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice calm and still, as if without a ripple:

"Since the Wind Shadow has made such a decision, then we, as his subordinates, should obey his orders unconditionally."

However, how could Luo Sha not hear the deeper meaning hidden behind these seemingly obedient words?

Anyway, this decision was made by you, Kazekage, so no matter what serious consequences may arise, you will have to bear the responsibility alone!

At this point, Luo Sha completely disregarded everything else, adopting a "what's the use of trying" attitude, and stubbornly dragged things out.

He knew very well that the Sand Village he was in charge of simply did not have enough funds to deal with the current situation.

So he simply went all out.

[Hmph, if you have the guts, then come and attack my Sand Village. We really don't have any money anyway.]

As for Luo Sha himself, he now has to personally participate in the mining work every day.

All he could think about was that since he had already paid all the compensation to those ninjas, he should hurry up and step down from the position of Kazekage.

If he stops mining, let's see if the village will turn around and beg him for help.
