Konoha: Be cautious from Hinata

After receiving Kazekage's letter, the Konoha team did not turn back immediately, but Sunagakure stayed for a while.

Having lost a large number of ANBU elites, Sunagakure needs to be replenished in order to barely maintain a stable order in the village. On the other hand, it is wary of another attack by the Akatsuki organization. Sunagakure now cannot bear it again.

Standing in front of the canyon leaving the village, Rasa, as the Fourth Kazekage, personally came to see him off, which was enough to show the importance that Sunagakure attached to him.

"Please be sure to convey the news to the Hokage!" the Fourth Kazekage explained again and again, and his attitude became much lower.

After sacrificing a large number of elite ninjas and losing the One-Tailed Shukaku, Sunagakure was actually no longer able to secure the throne of the five great nations.

If there wasn't an elite puppet army, the military strength might have been inferior to that of Amegakure and Takigakure.

In the previous Ninja War, Sanho Hanzo, who had the title of Ninja World Demigod and led the Amegakure Village, was close to Sunagakure in strength, but lacked a tailed beast.

And Takigakure possesses the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki, a powerful weapon. Although the ninjas under his banner are few, they all have huge chakras.

Hyugazo nodded towards the Fourth Kazekage, then led the team and disappeared into the desert.

The Fourth Kazekage stayed for a long time, looking at where Hinata Zang and others left and sighed softly. This time he witnessed the power of the Akatsuki organization, and also witnessed the power of the younger generation of Konoha.

If the team in front of him was sent by Konoha to attack Sunagakure, he would not be confident enough to deal with it.

In comparison, they Suna Ninja simply have no successors.

The only ones who can be said to have talents are his eldest daughter and eldest son. The rest of them have not shown the talent to become elite jounin at all.

This is not his confidence in his children, but the tragic fact of Sunagakure Village. Without the daimyo funding, even if he works hard to find gold, it will only be a drop in the bucket and unable to maintain the number of students in the ninja school.

"Master Kazekage, there are still things waiting for you to deal with in the village!"

After hearing the ANBU's reminder, the Fourth Kazekage came to his senses and used his 'Magnetic Release' to fly towards the Kazekage Building.

The village has not been damaged and does not need to be repaired, but the pensions for the ANBU ninjas have become a big problem. He can refuse to pay the pensions on the grounds that the daimyo has not yet allocated funds, but the people in the village will be dispersed.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Kazekage felt a headache, and he also remembered Ye Cang's plans to threaten the daimyo.

But threatening the daimyo is a taboo in the ninja world. Behind the daimyo of the Land of Wind is the power of Konoha. They have no way to start. The nominal offensive and defensive alliance is so ridiculous.

But if it weren't for the support sent by Konoha this time, it's hard to say whether Sunagakure Village would still exist.

Therefore, the Fourth Kazekage was also caught in a conflict.

Looking out the window, the sky became dim. The Fourth Kazekage wanted to continue working, but Chiyo and Ebizo walked in.

Chiyo glanced at the Fourth Kazekage and said: "Kazekage, it's getting late. Go back and spend time with the children. Leave government affairs to us old guys."

The Fourth Kazekage was stunned for a moment. He thought the elders came because of the situation in and outside the village. Unexpectedly, they asked him to rest, and he immediately frowned.

After a pause, Chiyo smiled and said: "Don't worry, we old guys like Kazekage won't take it away. We have no descendants and only the village is left in our hearts. You should spend more time with Temari and the others. I hope there will be no tragedy."

Reappear…”

Chiyo's voice became smaller and smaller, and his expression was filled with sadness.

It was her neglect of Scorpion's education that led to Scorpion's defection, indirectly killing the Third Kazekage.

The Fourth Kazekage nodded, not being too tough. He did not return home for some days and had been living in the Kazekage Building.

Not long after, the fourth generation Kazekage came to his small courtyard.

The ANBU who stayed behind in the small courtyard were a little surprised when they saw the Fourth Kazekage, and they quickly saluted after a while.

The Fourth Kazekage noticed the behavior of the guards and thought to himself: "Is it really too long since I went home to see Temari and the others?"

When I walked into the small courtyard, I saw Kankuro and Temari playing, as well as the sand sculptures in the courtyard.

Only then did the Fourth Kazekage realize that they had grown up. Since his wife Garura left, he rarely went home and had been obsessed with the village's government affairs to numb himself.

"Father!"

Kankuro and Temari, who were playing, noticed the Fourth Kazekage, stopped what they were doing, and looked at the latter with confusion and hesitation in their eyes.

Taking a step forward, the Fourth Kazekage tried his best to smile and said, "Kankuro, did you make these Temari?"

Kankuro and Temari shook their heads, pointed behind the sand sculpture, and said: "Gaara, come out quickly, father is back."

Hearing this, Gaara walked out from behind the sand sculpture and said with a timid look: "I have met Mr. Kazekage!"

The Fourth Kazekage was stunned when he heard this, then nodded. Then he saw the sand floating around Gaara and asked sternly: "Can you control these sands?"

Gaara nodded slightly, he indeed had the ability to manipulate sand.

"Is it the same ability as Garura? Or is it a gift from Garura?"

The Fourth Kazekage fell into deep thought. His wife Garaura also had the ability to control sand, but it was not a blood successor but a ninjutsu ability, while Gaara's was like mastering a blood successor.

After pondering for a long time, the Fourth Kazekage asked again: "Gaara, follow my instructions and control the sand."

"Yes, Lord Kazekage." Gaara nodded slightly.

In the next few hours, the Fourth Kazekage and Gaara continued to interact. Kankuro and Temari looked at each other and joined in the interaction.

Their family has really not been together for a long, long time.

When the stars and moon climbed above their heads, the Kazekage family was a little tired. At this time, the Fourth Kazekage asked Gaara again about what happened that night, especially about Shukaku.

After giving a brief answer, Gaara asked the Fourth Kazekage: "Kazekage-sama, why can't we live in harmony with Shukaku, instead of treating him as a monster?"

The expression of the Fourth Kazekage changed: "Monsters are monsters. Do you know how many people Shukaku killed this time? If you like Shukaku so much, you can continue to be a Jinchuriki when you find Shukaku..."

Facing the faintly moved Fourth Kazekage, Gaara immediately kept silent, while Kankuro and Temari also looked cautious.

Hiss!

At this moment, a hissing sound came from the small courtyard where the sand was piled up.

Temari turned around and saw that it was a venomous snake in the desert. When she was about to use Wind Release to drive it away, she was stopped by Luo Sha.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Fengying Luosha looked at his children and said, "It's getting late. You go and rest first. I'll handle the rest."

After saying that, Fengying Luosha flashed and left the place in an instant.
