Chapter 550 Luo Sha's Political Game
After Luo Sha finished speaking, he said with a solemn expression:
"This operation was far too tragic, with many Sunagakure residents losing their lives as a result. It is truly a great pity!"
Immediately afterward, Luo Sha paused briefly, took a deep breath, and then said:
"Although the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village, who was known as the strongest ninja in the world, Uchiha Chiyo, ultimately died because of my careful planning."
"However, the price my Sand Village paid for this was extremely heavy. With so many excellent ninjas sacrificed, I cannot escape my guilt!"
Before he finished speaking, he slowly stood up, looked around at everyone present, and then solemnly announced:
"Therefore, I have decided to resign from my position as the Fourth Kazekage immediately, and let the village find a more capable person to fill the position."
After he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop.
What Rasa said contained a lot of information. What did he mean by saying that Uchiha Chiyo was killed by his scheme?
Moreover, everyone present knew that Luo Sha had always cherished the power of the Kazekage, holding it tightly in his palm and refusing to let go.
Who would have thought that he would voluntarily give up this supreme position of power today?
However, there are only a few seasoned old foxes like Ebizo.
However, he immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Luo Sha's actions.
Rasa first went to great lengths to praise Uchiha Senyo to an extremely high status, emphasizing how unshakeable he was as the number one fighter in the ninja world;
He then claimed to have personally killed him, thus undoubtedly making a great contribution to the war effort.
Now that he has voluntarily resigned from his position as Wind Shadow, even if others have grievances, they probably won't dare to criticize him further.
After all, they have already made such a significant concession. If we continue to press them, it would seem rather unreasonable.
Ebizo gently tapped the table with his knuckles, producing a crisp and rhythmic sound.
His sharp gaze was fixed on Luo Sha in front of him, his expression serious, as he asked the most crucial question.
"Rasa, is Uchiha Chiyo really dead?"
Ebizo's voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate the depths of Rasa's heart.
When confronted with Ebizo's questioning, Rasa simply snorted coldly.
Despite feeling slightly uneasy inside, he maintained a calm demeanor and slowly replied:
"How could I possibly tell such an easily detectable lie?"
Upon hearing Rasa's answer, Ebizo nodded slightly in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, he cleared his throat and raised his voice to address the crowd:
"Gentlemen..."
Instantly, everyone's eyes were drawn to Ebizo.
After all, as a high-ranking advisor to Sunagakure, Ebizo not only had a long tenure among the elders, but also enjoyed considerable prestige and influence.
Since Fengying resigned to take responsibility, he has become the highest-ranking person in actual power in the village.
"Given that Luo Sha has voluntarily resigned from the position of Kazekage, we must select a new Kazekage as soon as possible."
Ebizo solemnly announced.
Then, he changed the subject and added:
"But after this war, we face huge compensation payments for the casualties."
"Therefore, Luo Sha cannot officially step down as Kazekage until all these compensations have been properly handled and paid out."
Having said that, Ebizo looked around at the elders present and continued:
"During this period, I hope that you will actively recommend suitable candidates to me for the position of Kazekage."
"After Luo Sha successfully completes all the compensation work, we will further discuss and elect the final new Feng Ying."
As soon as he finished speaking, the elders below looked at each other and exchanged glances.
It was easy to see from the expressions in their eyes that everyone basically agreed with the series of arrangements proposed by Ebizo.
After all, so many people died in Sunagakure this time. As the Kazekage, you can't just walk away and leave. You still have to take responsibility to the end.
"I second that..."
"I second that..."
"I second that..."
As the voices of agreement rang out, Luo Sha looked at the elders before him who were all expressing their approval, and a heavy feeling welled up in his heart.
Although he escaped punishment by sheer luck, the enormous compensation of over 7,000 people weighed heavily on his mind.
How many mines would it take to fill such a huge financial gap?
The thought of this gave Luo Sha a splitting headache.
Once this resolution was finalized, the long and tense meeting finally came to an end.
However, the matter is far from over, as many people still need to conduct detailed statistical work and handle a series of follow-up matters.
Only after all these complicated matters have been properly completed can everyone gather again to discuss the next course of action.
After the meeting, Luo Sha looked exhausted, as if all his strength had been drained.
He has hardly had a proper rest during this period, and is already exhausted both physically and mentally.
At this moment, all he wanted was to find a quiet place as soon as possible so he could get a good night's sleep and recover his energy.
So he decided to take two days off to get himself in the right mindset before going out to dig holes again.
Just as Luo Sha was dragging his heavy steps slowly toward the corridor, a familiar figure came into his view.
—Ebizo.
He was walking in the same direction as Rosa.
As the two passed each other, Ebizo suddenly lowered his voice and said to Rasa in a serious tone:
"Luo Sha, it's best if Qian Yao is already dead."
Luo Sha instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Ebizo's words. Without the slightest hesitation, he replied decisively:
"Don't worry, I personally witnessed Uchiha Chiyo being torn apart by the Dragon Vein."
Upon hearing Luo Sha's confident answer, Ebizo nodded slightly in agreement, then quickened his pace and hurried away.
As a key figure in charge of the intelligence force, Ebizo was well aware of the importance of information.
He must personally investigate and verify whether Qianyao is truly dead.
After all, they have spies and informants in various countries, and no movement can escape their notice.
Moreover, even though Chiyo was most likely killed, Ebizo wanted to continue searching as long as her body hadn't been found.
Let's see if there's any news; we might as well gather all this intelligence together.
Luo Sha stood there, his expression shifting between light and dark, as if he were deep in thought.
Then he abandoned his idea of resting and turned to find Maki.
Regardless, he had to let the entire ninja world know that Uchiha Senyou was dead!
