It doesn't matter, Lord Kazekage will make a move

Chapter 242 What Is More Precious Than Potatoes?

In the last week of December, the vanguard of Sand Ninja finally set off to return to Sand Hidden City.

Hoshino Mu fulfilled his promise and asked everyone to return before the Chinese New Year.

In order to let everyone have a good year, he also distributed the year-end military salary in advance, so that everyone can buy some souvenirs in Yanyin Village to take home, so that these dusty guys can gain face in front of their relatives and neighbors.

This approach of considering Sand Ninja naturally won the praise of everyone in Sand Ninja.

Although fighting for the village is an obligation as a ninja, who doesn't want to be valued and respected more?

Hoshino Maki has never been ambiguous in this regard, and even gave preferential treatment in many places that Sand Ninja could not think of.

For example, last week, he ordered that all the children of Sand Shinobi be provided with free milk and fruit every day, and all tuition fees were also waived.

This made many sand ninjas who can only play cards in the camp in Yanyin Village gear up, preparing to go home as soon as possible to plant a few flowers in the soil of Sand Yin City.

This kind of order is issued by Hoshino Mu almost every one or two months. This is one of the reasons why Hoshino Mu still supports him even though he has many constraints on the troops, and even some of them are incomprehensible to many people. one.

He really gave too much.

There are so many sand ninjas who have a sense of guilt, feeling that they are not worthy of such good treatment, so they train harder, hoping to perform better when Kazekage-sama needs it.

"One, four, six 24, the number of people is no problem."

A sand ninja held a list in his hand and counted the captives who were handed over to him. After confirming the number, he nodded and smiled at the sand ninja who was escorting the captives.

"Xinping, I really envy you, you can return home in good clothes."

Sand Shinobi, who was in charge of the escort, said, and handed the key in his hand to the other party.

"It will be your turn next time. This kind of opportunity to celebrate the New Year in the heart of the enemy is rare."

The sand ninja named Xinping took the key, turned it upside down in his hand, and said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that a small shackle can restrain a jonin, and the technology of the research institute is getting more and more powerful. "

"Don't call them enemies, call them compatriots."

Nasa Shinobi joked half ironically and half teasingly, and then said: "Who said it wasn't, I heard that it was made by people from the Snow Country, I didn't expect an inventor to appear in such a small place."

"Sagawa, you can't speak ill of Kazekage-sama behind his back."

Xinping held the key chain, straightened his face, and said a little seriously.

"No, I was just joking."

The Sand Shinobi named Sagawa quickly waved his hands, as if he felt that this was not convincing enough, and continued to add: "My father's pension was won by Kazekage-sama for our family, how could I be disrespectful to Kazekage-sama!"

The new flat color was a little more relaxed, and he also understood the other party's thoughts.

Sagawa's father died in the war with Iwanin. The pension has been delayed for three years, and it was settled after Kazekage-sama came to power. Not only was the full amount paid out, but a lot more was paid out. It is said to make up for the meritorious families over the years It's not easy.

Under such circumstances, Sagawa is naturally grateful to Kazekage-sama, but to say that because of Kazekage-sama's order, he completely abandoned the hatred of killing his father and regarded Iwanin as a family, which is somewhat whimsical.

Xinping didn't say anything else. He patted the other party's shoulder softly, turned his head, and sternly said to the Iwanin captives, "Follow up!"

Sagawa is like this, why is he not?

Such scenes were staged in many places in Yanyin Village, and soon, the large troops had assembled in the square in front of the Tuying Building.

Sand Shinobu brought the captives of Iwa Shinobi to gather in front of the Tukage Building. This scene somewhat made the people of Yan Yin Village feel uncomfortable, but Hoshino Maki had no choice. Nearly a thousand people, including the vanguard, so many people, although Yanyin Village is big, there are not many places that can accommodate so many people at the same time.

This is a speech for the elders. If you really want to say that it is a suitable place, the martial arts arena is also fine. Hoshino Maki actually wants to leave a deep impression on the people of Yanyin Village before leaving, leaving "even the Jonin" Can't beat Sand Ninja' impression either.

The spirit of resistance is often closely related to the difference in strength. If the strength difference between the two sides is not too big, then the wave of resistance will continue.

If the disparity in strength between the two sides is so great that there is no hope, then this hatred will turn into worship, um, very typical Japanese thinking.

Hoshino Mu didn't choose what to say, mainly because some things were not suitable to say in front of the people of Yanren Village, so he asked Luo Sha to speak for him.

But seeing Luo Sha's high-spirited and eloquent appearance, those who didn't know thought he was Kazekage.

In the end, Hoshino Mu asked the elders to come to the stage to bid farewell to the compatriots who were about to leave, but the expression of disdain and contempt on the Iwanin captives under the stand made the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

"Be careful on the way back, don't relax your vigilance because of the Chakra shackles, forget about the rain, I'll do it."

Hoshino Mu was admonishing Luo Sha who was about to leave. When it came to Yuren Village, his eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said.

The disappearing army from Yanyin Village may have something to do with Akatsuki.

With so many people disappearing, what Hoshino Mu could think of besides Akatsuki is that Jiraiya, who has disappeared for a long time, also has this ability, but Jiraiya should not have such a timely information network. The problem is mostly Akatsuki. door, no matter who is sent to inquire, it is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

Luo Sha nodded, and didn't care about Hoshino Mu's last ambiguity. Now his whole heart has flown to Sha Yin City.

He thought he would spend this year in Yanyin Village, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to go back to be with his wife and children. This made him feel much better, and he even looked at Hoshino Mu with a pleasing gaze.

Hoshino Mu, Squid and the others did not say too much in their confession. After all, they are still in Hidden Sand City, and this army has not been out of control for a long time, so they just reminded them of the precautions on the way down.

In fact, it is not so much an exhortation as it is to let these people feel that Master Kazekage attaches great importance to them.

Finally, he walked up to Ye Cang, looked at his fiancée who was a bit sullen, and Hoshino Mu rubbed her head: "You can see the real me when you return to the village, why are you still reluctant to part with a puppet?"

She was clearly a Yujie in her 20s, but now she looked like a clingy little girl.

"Who, who is reluctant to leave?! I just haven't stayed in Yanyin Village enough yet."

Ye Cang turned his head and muttered softly.

"Ah~" Hoshino Mu dragged his voice deliberately: "I originally prepared a surprise for you, if that's the case, forget it."

"You——!"

Ye Cang's cheeks puffed up slightly, and he raised his foot, but thinking that this was in front of a large audience, he paused for a moment in the air, stomped it on the spot, and gave Hoshino Mu a 'bad' look.

The two joked a few words, and as the sun gradually rose, it was time to leave.

Hoshino Mu watched the crowd leave. He and the reinforcements would stay in Yanyin Village and continue to help Yanyin Village resist the harassment of bandits and criminals.

This was an invitation from the Presbyterian Church, and Hoshino Mu also accepted it on behalf of Sand Shinobu.

In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, but Hoshino Mu wanted to experience the thrill of stationing US troops in Korea (Japan), so he asked the elders to take a formality.

In his position, there are not many things that can make him happy, and being a five-star general is also very cool.

The sand ninja troops left in mighty form from the gate engraved with the pattern of iwa ninja. Many people in iwayin village peeked at this scene from their windows, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

In their cognition, they never thought that this gate representing the glory of Iwanin would have other ninja village troops swaggering in and out, but this kind of scene has been seen many times during this period.

"Damn sand dog!"

In a private house, a burly man was leaning against the wall, watching the departing sand ninja troops, suddenly poured a glass of wine down his throat, and the hot burning sensation went down his throat, making him frown and let out a cry at the same time. Comfortable sigh.

At this moment, there was a twisting sound of the outer doorknob, and a thin woman with a disheveled face pushed the door in. The sack in her hand looked heavy, making her spine a little bent.

"Why did you come back so late today?"

The big man put down his wine glass and asked with some doubts.

"I changed jobs and got off work later than usual, but the boss is very nice and gave me a lot of leftover ingredients."

As the woman spoke, she carried the bag into the kitchen with difficulty, and the big man followed behind, just in time to see his wife pour out several potatoes and fresh vegetables from the bag, and even a small piece of meat.

"What job did you change? Why don't I know?"

The big man was not at all happy when he saw it. Instead, he looked embarrassed, obviously thinking of something bad.

The woman was silent for a moment, bit her lip, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I went to work in an izakaya owned by a person from the Land of Winds."

After finishing speaking, he quickly added: "I know that this will make people around us look down on us and call us Sand Shinobi's lackeys, but the original izakaya's business is bleak, the boss can no longer support it, and the family"

As she spoke, the woman's body trembled and she began to sob silently.

The big man clenched his fists, his whole body tensed, guilt and remorse filled his heart.

The current atmosphere in Yanyin Village is very strange. Most of the people in Yanyin Village hate sand ninja, but they dare not make any disrespectful remarks about sand ninja in public.

And once this big man was drunk, he even ran to the square under the Dokage Building and insulted Sand Shinobi openly.

Naturally, Sand Ninja repaired it severely and threw it out, and also paid a large amount of medical expenses.

The owner of the restaurant he was working for was also afraid of causing trouble and dismissed him. When the news came, he naturally couldn't find any job.

This sad atmosphere didn't last long, the woman wiped her tears and turned to continue preparing meals.

After the meal was ready, the two sat at the dining table and ate in silence. After a while, the woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, today the boss asked us if anyone knew a chef who was good at rock plate cooking. I didn't say anything. Your name, I want to come back and ask you first."

The woman stopped talking halfway, and the big man paused slightly with the chopsticks, and immediately stuffed the potatoes in the bowl into his mouth, chewed them, and after swallowing, the satisfying feeling of fullness made him feel strong. No, he looked up at his wife and nodded silently.

Seeing this, the woman stretched her tired face a little, showing a little smile, with a little expectation for the future in her eyes.

Maybe what my new colleague said is right, what is the will of the stone, the glory of Ninja Village, how can there be such a treasure as potatoes?
She couldn't help but think of the neighbor's child, who was about to go to the remote sand hidden city to attend ninja school at the age of five or six. When they left in the morning, the mother and son cried in each other's arms, as if they were parting from life and death.

People around feel sorry for this family, but now it seems that maybe they will have a better life in the future!

The woman thought to herself, feeling that the steaming food in the bowl was no longer fragrant.

After she squeezed the chopsticks, my son will also go to Sand Hidden City!
-
"morning"

Yuhihong greeted Anbe under the Fukage Building, walked quickly to the office, opened the door and poured herself a glass of cold water.

Although air-conditioning is already popular in Hidden Sand City, there is no air-conditioning along the way, and the scorching sun above her head is almost roasting her.

Yu Hihong turned on the air conditioner, walked to the seat, saw that there were not many new documents, and couldn't help curling her lips.

Hoshino Mu spent too much time in Yanyin Village during this period.

After all, all the puppets share the same brain. Hoshino Mu spent more time in Yanyin Village, but naturally less time in Sand Hidden City. This dissatisfied the girl who originally thought that she could spend more time with Hoshino Mu after Ye Cang sneaked away. .

Nohara Lin also walked in at this time, and the two of them took a break and began to deal with official business.

"Huh? Red, Yunin said that he wants to deepen the cooperation between the two parties, send more businessmen to Hidden Sand City, and at the same time hope to send some students to the ninja school."

Nohara Rin picked up the documents on the table, frowned, and said to Yuhihong who was opposite.

Yuhihong stood up and took the documents, thought for a while, then turned and walked towards Hoshino Maki's office.

Nohara Rin looked at the other person's back, frowned slightly, worried for Konoha.

It is obviously not good news for Konoha who is fighting, but after the lesson of Tianzang last time, she dare not do anything out of line again, so she can only pray in her heart to Hoshino Mu will reject this cooperation.

"Hoshino Mu agreed, let us move forward as soon as possible."

Xi Hihong came back not long after she went out, raised the document with Fengying's seal in her hand, and said.

Nohara Lin's complexion remained unchanged, and she nodded.

She had heard too much bad news during this time, and this incident did not cause her face to change drastically, but she felt helpless and sad about the fate of the village.

When she was a child, all she heard was the glory of Konoha. When she grew up, she experienced nothing but defeat and crisis, but now the enemy camp she was in was thriving. This huge gap made her feel confused and uneasy.

Where is the future of the village?
When will a new Master Hashirama lead the village to prosperity again?

When she was thinking wildly, she didn't notice that the opposite Xi Hihong was holding a piece of letter paper in her hand, looking at the code words in the letter paper, her eyes were extremely flustered
