The two of them were very close.

"Sakura is really worthy of you. When did you find out?"

Kakashi walked up to Sakura and asked.

"I don't think that such an obvious trick this morning can be hidden from Kakashi-sensei.

Sasuke is smart, and Kakashi-sensei is not stupid either.

I started to pay attention to the surroundings when I got here."

Kakashi nodded, not knowing whether to allow it or not, and then said seriously:

"Do you know that your slander against the Third Generation just now can be regarded as a betrayal of Konoha?"

Faced with Kakashi's aggressive questioning, Sakura smiled faintly:

"It's just a guess. Kakashi-sensei was in the Anbu at the time. How likely is my statement to be true? Is it true? You are slandering what you should know. "

"But the facts you claim will push Sasuke to the opposite side of Konoha."

"With Sasuke's brain, he will one day notice the abnormality of the Uchiha clan extermination.

When Sasuke notices the abnormality, he will definitely ask people outside the village to find out the truth.

Instead of letting Sasuke's revengeful anger spread to the whole Konoha under the exaggeration of others, it is better to tell him the truth now and let his target be limited to the Sandaime and the others."

Kakashi did not speak again, which was regarded as tacitly agreeing with Sakura's statement.

"Moreover, this incident only pushed Sasuke to the opposite side of the Sandaime, not the opposite side of Konoha.

'Hokage' is not all of Konoha.

'Konoha' is originally an abstract concept, and the meaning of Konoha in everyone's heart is different. "

"So what is Konoha in your heart?"

Kakashi's expression became more serious.

"Home, Konoha is the home of ninjas in my heart."

Sakura said without hesitation.

"Ninjas are born with more powerful strength than ordinary people.

And power brings not only status, but also alienation and fear from ordinary people.

Teacher Kakashi should have felt it when he went out on a mission. Although ordinary people respect us, they are more afraid in their hearts.

The existence of the ninja village makes ninjas no longer lonely. Ninjas gather together to form bonds with each other, so that they are no longer lonely.

The ninja village comforts the tired hearts of ninjas and allows ninjas to understand that they are not tools of killing but living people.

And Konoha is such a home in my heart."

Sakura naturally has to say good things about Konoha in front of Kakashi.

"Since you think Konoha is a big family, why are you so hostile to the Hokage, the 'head of the family'?"

Sakura shook her head:

"The Hokage is not a head of the family. In my heart, the Hokage is just a house manager elected by the residents.

The manager's duty is to lead the residents to repair the 'home' better, and it is understandable to take some benefits.

But if this manager will arbitrarily drive people out of the house, then I think it would be better to change the manager."

Kakashi felt that what Sakura said made sense, but he still didn't want his students to be so hostile to the upper echelons.

"Maybe the manager did this just to make other residents live better?"

"Then how do I know if I will be the next one to be driven out."

Sakura's words made Kakashi silent.

Yes, no one knows when they will become the target of the third generation and Danzo.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kakashi. If someone wants to change the administrator, I may agree.

But if someone really wants to tear off the roof of the house, I will definitely be the first to stop it without you saying anything."

"I believe you."

Knowing Sakura's attitude towards Konoha, Kakashi also smiled with relief.

"But, Sakura, how do you know so much information?"

"Most of it is inference based on data."

"The specific information of the Root is not recorded in Konoha.

On the surface, it is just a training institution of Konoha."

"On the surface, it is true, but the person in charge of the Root is the Hokage assistant Shimura Danzo.

It was after the establishment of the Root that Danzo's name began to appear frequently in newspapers of various ninja villages outside Konoha.

The Root that made Danzo's actions active could not be just a simple training institution.

Konoha's library has newspapers from various countries over the years, which can be pieced together to make many interesting speculations.

For example: In other countries, although the strength of the Third Generation is a mystery because of the small number of attacks, it should not be as good as the Third Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage;

But our ninja school textbooks clearly state that the Third Generation is the 'strongest Hokage'

.

So, perhaps the Konoha in the eyes of other countries is more real than what is promoted in the village. "

Sakura's words made Kakashi ashamed.

Sure enough, the boasting is so outrageous that even children won't believe it.

In fact, he himself doesn't have much good feelings for the Sandaime. After all, during the Fourth Hokage period, he could always see the Sandaime pointing fingers in front of his teacher.

Kakashi quickly coughed twice and changed the subject:

"Ahem, Sakura.

You are right, the ninja village is very important. Isn't the Wave Country exploited by Kado because there is no ninja village?"

Seeing that Kakashi changed the subject so abruptly, Sakura rolled her eyes at him:

"Teacher Kakashi, who do you think made the Wave Country like this?"

"Isn't it Kado? "

Kakashi looked suspicious.

Is there something else going on in the Land of Waves?

"According to Zabuza's statement a few days ago and the information obtained from the ghost brothers, Cardo is very stingy; he even wanted to evade Zabuza's reward afterwards.

After Zabuza got rid of Cardo, he only found less than 10 million in cash in Cardo's home.

According to the scale of Cardo's company, the liquid funds should not exceed 20 million.

You have also seen the situation in the Land of Waves. The people are all pale and the whole country is dead.

So the question is, where did the money Cardo squeezed out in the past five years go? How come there is only 30 million left?"

"So, you suspect there are other people behind Cardo?" Kakashi asked.

Sakura nodded and continued:

"The people behind the scenes used Cardo to squeeze the wealth of the Land of Waves, and then secretly transferred it. This not only avoids being discovered, but also allows Cardo to take the blame. ”

“Who do you think this person is?”

“Teacher Kakashi, do you remember what Dazna said that the Daimyo of Wave Country would be afraid of Kado?”

But Kado knew very little about ninjas. Zabuza said that Kado was even naive enough to think that he, a jonin, could be dealt with by relying on a few hundred minions.

It is obvious that there were no ninjas around Kado before.

So what is the Daimyo afraid of? Is it the workers and minions around him?

Although the guards of the Daimyo of Wave Country are not ninjas, they must be much stronger than ordinary people, right?”

“You mean…”

Kakashi has guessed what Sakura wants to say next.

But in that case, the truth of the matter is too terrible.

“In order to maintain the balance of the country’s administrative system and military power, it is the iron rule of ninjas not to participate in national politics.

Even the Hokage cannot take action against the Daimyo.

Therefore, the only people who can make the Daimyo of Wave Country afraid are the Daimyo of other major countries. "

Sakura ruthlessly revealed the answer, breaking Kakashi's last fantasy:

"From a geographical point of view, the only daimyo with such influence around Wave Country are the daimyo of Fire Country and Water Country. After all, distant water cannot quench near thirst.

Whether it is Water Country or Kirigakure, they have been in a semi-closed state for nearly ten years, and there has been no diplomatic activities for a long time. Then the only person left is our respected daimyo of Fire Country. "

"No, it is also possible that Cardo colluded with the daimyo of Wave Country..."

"There is no such possibility." Sakura shook her head again and interrupted Kakashi's words.

"Why did the daimyo choose to kill the chicken to get the eggs and drain the pond to catch fish when he could obviously make a steady profit?

Teacher, do you think Wave Country can pay taxes normally under its current situation?

It is impossible for Wave Country to fully recover without seven or eight years. "

"What if the daimyo is short-sighted? "

"Teacher Kakashi, the daimyo represents more than just himself. All decisions made by the daimyo must take into account the officials of the daimyo's mansion and the nobles who support him.

The daimyo must consider the collective interests of the entire political group.

Unless the decision-makers around the daimyo are a bunch of good-for-nothings, they will agree to such a stupid plan.

If the daimyo really colluded with Kado and acted on his own;

It's not like there haven't been unsolved cases of daimyo being assassinated before..."

Kakashi widened his exposed eye. He felt that his worldview was directly shattered by Sakura's words.

It turns out that compared to the real fighting between ninjas, the struggle for interests among politicians is a more treacherous and darker war.

This method of affecting the livelihoods of millions of people has far exceeded Kakashi's bottom line.

The political game revealed by Sakura even made Kakashi feel physically uncomfortable and nauseous.

"In my opinion, the events in the Land of Waves are probably:

The daimyo of the Land of Fire used Kado to monopolize the economy of the Land of Waves and squeeze money;

The daimyo of the Land of Waves did not dare to blatantly

Targeting Kado, plus Kado and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire could not go too far, Kado would definitely have to hand over part of the money he extorted to the Daimyo of the Land of Waves, so they simply turned a blind eye to Kado;

In this way, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire ate meat, the Daimyo of the Land of Waves drank soup, and Kado licked the plate;

The wealth of the Land of Waves was divided up.

But over the years, the people of the Land of Waves were completely squeezed dry, and Kado was no longer useful.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire took the money and left, and the Daimyo of the Land of Waves needed Kado's head to explain to the people.

Kado's situation was already precarious, and Dazna wanted to build a bridge to break Kado's monopoly, so Kado was cruel enough to hire Zabuza at a high price.

It can be said that even without us, the Daimyo would have entrusted Konoha to silence Kado. "

Sakura spoke in a relaxed tone, not noticing that Kakashi was sweating profusely. After all, it was late at night, and Kakashi had covered 3/4 of his face, so Sakura couldn't see Kakashi's expression at all.

Although the methods of the Fire Country Daimyo and Kado were dirty, she had seen similar situations before.

In Sakura's memory, a certain Celestial Dragon race in the west of Blue Star made a living by doing this in the Middle Ages:

Cooperating with the nobles to monopolize, and after squeezing out almost all the oil and water, they simply wiped their mouths and ran away; of course, there were also many people who were too slow to run and were pulled out by the nobles to appease the public anger.

So there is no hatred without reason, no Then 卐's outrageous behavior would not win the support of all citizens.

------

Five days later, the construction of the Demon Bridge was completed, and Team 7 embarked on the journey back to Konoha.

Sakura also got on the boat as she wished, and curiously took out the camera from the sealed scroll and took selfies or photos of the scenery.

Only Naruto followed Sakura excitedly, after all, Sakura was not awake when they came, and Naruto was not in the mood to play.

However, only the two of them were happy, and Sasuke was worried all the way;

Kakashi also felt that the mental fatigue brought to him by this A-level mission was greater than the two S-level missions.
