"He went to see Grandpa Ebizo. Grandpa Ebizo said he would give him the fun things."
"Ebizo, ah. So that's how it is."
If it were any other elder, Rasa might have been somewhat flustered, but Ebizo was different. He was Chiyo's younger brother, and Chiyo's people were currently in Loulan, so...
and many more?
Luo Sha suddenly had a bad feeling.
'Elder Ebizo wouldn't trade my son for Chiyo in Loulan, would he? Surely not?'
......
The City of Wind.
Ebizo carried a puppet on his back and left Sunagakure to come here.
Inside the puppet was the unconscious Kankuro.
Plop.
The puppet rolled on the floor of the mansion. Ebizo said bluntly, "Release my sister. This is Lord Kazekage's son. He is much more important than my sister."
Uchiha Hikaru had one of the knights check him out and confirmed that it was Kankuro, the eldest son of the Kazekage.
A strange expression immediately appeared on Uchiha Hikaru's face.
“This Elder Hai…”
“My name is Ebizo. There’s no need to call me elder. I’m just a loser, a retired man who just wants to spend his twilight years with his elderly sister.” Ebizo repeated his name.
"Oh, oh, oh. Mr. Ebizo. We're not actually saying we absolutely need Chiyo. But trading her for a man isn't worth anything. We don't need any puppeteers. Besides, Chiyo is probably more valuable than any puppeteer," Uchiha Hikaru commented honestly.
Ebizo suddenly realized: "What about Gaara? He was born with Rasa's Magnet Release, but he can only control sand. Can he do that?"
Uchiha Hikaru rubbed his temples: "We don't lack sand control."
Ebizo was completely at a loss: "It can't be that useless Temari, can it?"
"Temari? Wait a minute." Uchiha Hikaru took out an intelligence booklet he had taken while undercover in Sunagakure. It contained photos of all of Rasa's children, from childhood to adulthood.
"Hey." Uchiha Hikaru picked up one of the photos of Temari and chuckled, "She's quite cute, this one's fine. I like little girls, but not little boys. I guess the headmaster likes little girls too."
"Dean?" Ebizo asked in surprise, "Are you talking about that all-powerful minister of the ancient Loulan Kingdom?"
"Yes. The dean told me that if he had to choose between men and women, he prefers girls."
"Oh, I see..."
Uchiha Hikaru never expected that Shirahoshi's statement that he liked having a girl, not that he liked little girls, would become a huge rumor that would circulate for a long time. Almost everyone believed that the all-powerful minister of the ninja world god of Loulan was actually a super lolicon!
Of course, that happened later.
When Haibizo returned to Sunagakure, he was immediately met with the stares and questions of many ninjas.
"Elder Haibizang! How could you do this! This is Lord Kazekage's son! You actually thought of taking him...taking him to serve Loulan?!"
"Exactly! We never even thought of that!"
"That's right, we wouldn't even dare to dream of it!"
"It's too much!"
Luo Sha: "?"
Hearing what everyone was saying, he felt that something was amiss.
Isn't his position as the Wind Guardian a little too dangerous right now?
Chapter 222 Only the Land of Wind Suffers in the Ninja World
The situation in the Land of Wind is becoming increasingly dire, with the Kazekage facing the prospect of losing his family. Rasa immediately wants to resign from his position as the acting Kazekage.
"Huh? Lord Kazekage, are you kidding me?!"
"That's right! Lord Kazekage, you absolutely cannot resign, you absolutely cannot abandon Sunagakure!"
"Without Lord Kazekage, what will become of Sunagakure!"
Luo Sha: "???"
If it weren't for the fact that his family had been kidnapped and taken to Loulan in exchange for benefits, he would have thought that these people genuinely believed in him becoming the Wind Shadow.
"No, I can't even guarantee the safety of my family. How can I continue to be the Wind Shadow?"
"No, absolutely not!"
As soon as these words came out.
Many senior elders spoke up to guarantee it.
"We will definitely cooperate with the Kazekage to bring Sunagakure to its final conclusion, and we will guarantee its safety in all aspects."
"Yes. That's right. This time it was all Elder Haibizang's impulsive act. He only acted on impulse and grabbed Lord Fengying's son to claim the reward."
"Yes, as long as we send out the ninjas from our clans, we can definitely guarantee the safety of Lord Kazekage's residence."
"Ebizo, say something! Apologize to the Kazekage-sama! When Sunagakure joins the ancient kingdom of Loulan in the future, we'll still have a place to live!"
Looking at this group of hypocritical fellow elders, and Elder Okawa, who had once boasted that he would let Rasa and Shirahoshi compete, persuaded him to apologize.
Haha. What is there for him to apologize for? He never married in his life. His only family left was Chiyo and her family. After Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law died, his grandson also disappeared. He could only keep Chiyo company, who was all alone.
But now, he is the one who is all alone.
How could he sit still?
He could only try to rescue his only relative, his only sister.
"I'm sorry, Lord Kazekage, this is my last time." Ebizo apologized to Rasa, after all, he did owe Rasa a debt.
"It's alright. It's good that the child is back safe and sound." Rasa looked at Kankuro, who was unharmed in the puppet. Even though he really wanted to get angry and use his power to kill this elder who had once made contributions to Sunagakure, he no longer had the power. Sunagakure had truly lived up to its name and had not had any ninja missions for a long time. He could only barely maintain order in Sunagakure now.
“That’s not what I meant,” Ebizo said again. “I meant something else, so I apologize, Kazekage-sama. This is the last time I will address you as such.”
boom!
After speaking, Ebizo immediately turned into a cloud of white smoke.
Everyone was stunned.
Then, someone had an idea.
"I remember... Temari and Gaara are still at home, right?"
"What! Could it be...?"
Rasa murmured "Oh no," and then, carrying Kankuro on his back, he flew home on sand clouds.
She landed on the roof of her house, quickly went downstairs, and finally heard Gaara crying loudly, but did not see Temari.
"You bastard! You bastard! Ebizo, you used to hold Temari when you were little, how could you do this!"
Luo Sha, the father, finally couldn't hold back and broke down in tears.
He finally became the Wind Shadow, but suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Loulan, which led to the failure of his life and career.
He finally became a father, but because of Iara's difficult childbirth, his wife died in the hospital, leading to the failure of his love life.
Gaara grew up, and although his career was not successful, he still held the title of Kazekage in name only, so he wasn't too poor. But then his son and daughter were kidnapped one after another.
"You jinx! Ever since you were born, nothing has gone right for me!"
Now, whenever Rasa sees Gaara, he wants to smash Gaara to death, just like Liu Bei smashed Liu Chan.
Fortunately, the elders stopped him later.
"Don't be impulsive, Rasa."
"Yes, Kazekage, don't be impulsive. This is your son, a rare child who has inherited Magnet Release."
"If all else fails, we can make him a human jinchūriki."
Upon hearing this, Rasa immediately felt that making Gaara a Jinchūriki was the best choice.
"Okay. Let's do the transplant when he's a little older."
Although he didn't know how long the war would last, Rasa believed that no one would want to become that kind of monster, and Roran probably didn't care about the power of the tailed beasts either. So, for the sake of his career, love, and family, he had to take revenge!
He couldn't defeat Loulan, so he had no choice but to disown this son.
......
"Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous."
"Hiruzen, look at yourself! Look at the monster you let go!"
Inside the Hokage Building office, Danzo slammed a copy of the Ninja World Daily onto Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk.
"I told you from the beginning, just leave Shirahoshi to me, and everything will be fine, right?"
"Shut up."
"Do you think Shirahoshi wasn't hiding her strength back then? It's too late to regret it now."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and then said:
"Our immediate priority is to inquire about the intentions of the daimyo and the major powers."
"You mean, the war continues?"
"No." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head: "After all these days of research, haven't you noticed that woman named Uchiha Hikaru is ridiculously strong?"
"What right does she have! What right does she have to make the sun and moon shine together, and then use moonlight to control us!"
"As long as Uchiha Hikaru exists, our Konoha Village will never be able to defeat Roran."
"Of course, Shirahoshi and the Queen are only individual forces, which is equivalent to tailed beasts. They must be stationed in the ancient kingdom of Loulan. Our only chance of winning is to defeat the Loulan ninja army."
"The problem is, if we don't deal with Uchiha Hikaru, we will definitely lose this battle."
Hiruzen Sarutobi analyzed the entire situation from beginning to end and deduced that the only chance of victory was when Shirahoshi and the Queen were unable to make a move.
"The barrier can block, but our barrier can't move, so it's just a target. As long as it's open and there are still ninjas in the world, she can absorb chakra. How can we fight back?"
Even Danzo, who had always looked down on all ninjas, was now shocked by Uchiha Hikaru's power.
