Chapter 125: Chapter 124 Gold Miner
In Hokage's Office.
"Haha, Kazekage-dono, it's a great honor to have you become this old man's guest!" Sandaime said with face full of smiles. Even if the other party is just a junior, there is no idea of relying on age to get seniority.
"Hokage-dono is too polite. I still have a lot of things to learn from you." Although there were some complaints at first, Rasa became "really sweet" after thinking about it.
At first, he was actually worried about being implicated by Konoha, but after thinking about it carefully, with Sunagakure's current situation, even if they are not related to Konoha, they will probably still be coveted by Iwagakure who is beside them.
After all, in strength, Sunagakure and Kirigakure are at the bottom among the Five Great Shinobi Villages. However, Kirigakure is far from mainland and has the sea as a barrier. Relatively speaking, Sunagakure is easier to target for invasion.
Thinking about it this way, he feels like it is a good choice to be in alliance with Konoha.
After Sandaime sat down, he asked straight to the point, "Kazekage-dono, you should have already made a decision, right?"
Rasa pondered for a moment, and then asked, "If we form an alliance, what guarantee can Hokage-dono give us?"
Hearing this, Sandaime raised his finger in turn, "Information sharing, combat support, and strategic cooperation. Of course, these guarantees are mutual, I hope that Sunagakure can give us the same support."
Rasa shook his head and said, "It's not enough, we need supplies."
After saying that, he added, "Of course, we naturally will buy it at the market price."
Sandaime then said, "Sorry, it's not that I'm questioning anything, but I heard that the Daimyō of the Land of Wind has been reducing your village's funds?"
"Cough cough, there is no need for Hokage-dono to be concerned about this." Rasa is a little embarrassed. After all, should he say that the biggest reason for him to be selected as the new Kazekage is to mine?
If a Kazekage is known to become a gold miner, Sunagakure can only hide their face in the sand!
"Since it is Kazekage-dono's request, then I'll agree to it." Sandaime did not hesitate too much. Although supplies are very important during the war, in the end, Konoha has a lot of big businesses and it is not a loss to use some supplies to win over Sunagakure.
As a Kage of a village, they control the direction of the village's progress. As for the details, it is naturally up to the people below to discuss.
So, after reaching a consensus, the two laughed and chatted together.
While speaking, Rasa said emotionally, "Your village really leaves us behind in nurturing elite Shinobi. I hope that this Chunin Exams will help the people in the village to recognize the gap!"
Sandaime smiled and waved his hands, "We are just lucky. It just so happens that there are a lot of outstanding Genin n this year, and I heard that your Sunagakure also has a genius puppet master?"
Hearing Hokage talked about Sasori, Rasa became even more depressed.
Their village finally produced a real genius, but he already disappeared before he could shine on the battlefield.
From the perspective of the people in the village, Sasori, who disappeared at the same time as Sandaime Kazekage, was probably a victim from the same person's evil scheme.
Thinking of this, Rasa suddenly suggested, "Hokage-dono, can you let your Shimizu Sōseki to visit Sunagakure for some exchange?"
Hearing this, Sandaime was a little puzzled, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Rasa pondered and then said, "On one hand, I want the Shinobi in my village to realize the gap. And on the other hand, it is because of some news that I learned the past few days."
"News?"
"The geniuses that have emerged from your Konoha in this Chunin Exams seem to be inextricably linked with him!" Rasa said with surprised expression, "One or two can be said to be accidental, but with so many, I think he has the power to discover or influence the people around him!"
"So, I hope he can come to Sunagakure as a guest and do some exchange with our Shinobi. "
Sandaime did not directly agree. After all, Konoha and Sunagakure were still hostile towards each other in the last war. Who can guarantee that Sunagakure's people will take the overall situation into consideration and not do anything to Sōseki?
So, Sandaime just dodge it with a laugh and said, "We have to prepare for the war now, and there is no time to be the other village's guest, so how about wait until after the war is over. At that time, I will let Sōseki become an envoy and officially go to Sunagakure, when that time comes, please try to welcome him, Kazekage-dono!"
Rasa also understands Sandaime's concerns, so he didn't force it, "Then let's do as Hokage-dono said."
...
Two days later.
In front of the bulleting board in the Hokage Tower.
"Wow, so many people passed the Chunin Exams this time!"
"Well, there are so many geniuses in the Chunin Exams this time!"
"Let me see, Konoha's Shimizu Sōseki, Yūhi Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma, Might Guy, Kumogakure's Nii Yugito... wait, Kumogakure's people seem to have left on the same day after the exam!"
"Weird, did they leave without waiting for the results?"
"Hehe, I heard that Kumogakure's people are not good at Fūinjutsu and they can't unlock the seal that Sōseki left on Nii Yugito. Because they are too embarrassed to ask us to unlock it, they rushed back overnight to find someone to unlock the seal on Nii Yugito!"
Sōseki, who was outside the crowd, smiled slightly. It was actually looked kind for him to put a seal on Nii Yugito. Just like a lock that was placed outside the door, he added another lock because he was worried that other people's homes would be unsafe.
That means the other people's house will be safe. However, the problem is that the owner of the house can't open the door themselves!
It should be known that Jinchūriki is burdened with the deterrent effect of breaking the seal at a critical juncture and perishing together with the enemy. But now that the seal can't be unlocked, how can they still deter the enemy?
But Kumogakure didn't dare to say much. After all, they can only blame themselves as this is their own fault to bring their Jinchūriki on this Chunin Exams.
"Hahaha, when Shizune comes back, she will find that she is the only Genin among us." On the side, Asuma said with malicious smile.
"If she comes back later, maybe we'll already become Jōnin!" Kurenai covered her mouth and chuckled.
Asuma touched his chin and said, "Speaking of which, that old man should recall Tsunade-sama and the others, right?"
Sōseki chuckled softly and said, "Maybe they are already on their way back."
Outside the crowd, Baki walked over with a complicated expression, "Perhaps, the next time we see each other, we will be comrades in arms..."
He now also knows that Sōseki might be sent to Sunagakure after the war end. 'Kazekage-sama and Nakayo-sama agreed that if the war lasts for three or four years, with Shimizu Sōseki's innate talent, he will most likely be promoted to Jōnin during the war. And, as I was asked to become Sōseki's escort, it is best for me to become a Jōnin too.'
But before he could finish speaking, Sunagakure's Shinobi rushed out and shouted, "Boss Sōseki, we will take care of each other in the future!"
Sōseki smiled and replied, "It's really reassuring to have reliable Shinobi like you guys as companions."
Seeing this, Baki's expression darkened, 'Can't you bastards respect my feelings?'
At this moment, a man who looked feminine and introverted, but his body seemed to be full of danger, came over, "I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but I need to speak with Sōseki-kun here for a while."
