Of course, there was nothing he could do, but Luo Sha was also holding back his anger. He thought, "I've been running around doing all this, and you two old geezers suddenly show up for what purpose?"
Do you know about what happened to me?
No, my secrecy measures were very good...
Could it be that I've been going there too often? Yes, leaving the village every ten days is definitely something to be concerned about and ask about. Perhaps I've been too impatient.
As expected, as soon as Granny Chiyo and Ebizo arrived, they immediately asked about this matter, "Kazekage, you've been traveling to the Northern Territory all this time..."
Granny Chiyo opened her eyes, a chill flashing across them, and said in a cold voice, "What secrets lie there?"
Frequent visits are the problem.....
Why do you, a Wind Shadow, keep going out so often instead of staying in the village?
I heard you've been colluding with Onoki. I wonder what got into you thinking, trying to outsmart him? Do you think you can outmaneuver Onoki? That old man is no good.
"My two advisors, this concerns the highest secret of Sunagakure. I am the only one who knows about it at the moment. All I can say is that it is absolutely beneficial and harmless to our Sunagakure."
Luo Sha pondered for a long time before finally replying.
To be honest, he didn't know how to answer, so this was the only answer he could give.
"Do you think this explanation will satisfy us two old men?" However, this answer did not satisfy Granny Chiyo, and instead prompted her to continue questioning.
Are you kidding me?
How can this kind of explanation satisfy people?
You don't think you can fool us with this, do you?
Luo Sha: "..."
That old hag is such a nuisance.
He was irritable and disliked dealing with these things.
Do I need to answer your questions about what I should do?
Who is the Kazekage, me or you? This is just taking advantage of your seniority and completely disregarding me, the Kazekage.
"This is a top secret, a matter of utmost importance. All I can reveal is that it can change the military capabilities of my Sunagakure village."
Luo Sha pondered for a long time, considering the pros and cons, and finally decided to reveal a little bit, but not too directly or obviously, 1.1 that is, not to say everything.
However, this still did not satisfy Granny Chiyo and Ebizo. They both agreed that Rasa's current actions were very dangerous and would alert Konoha, which was the most unnecessary thing to do.
"Kazekage, you must understand that peace is the most important thing for Sunagakure right now. Don't do anything that might provoke Konoha."
Ebizo emphasized his words and stressed this point.
Don't do things you shouldn't do; that's my advice to you.
"I know, Advisor Ebizo, aren't you being a bit nosy? I am the Kazekage!" As for Rasa, he really disliked this kind of rhetoric.
"You are the Kazekage, you cannot disregard the village's interests," Ebizo responded forcefully, warning Rasa not to do anything that would jeopardize the overall situation.
Chapter 288 Everything is for Sunagakure
Because Rasa's actions were too radical, neither Chiyo nor Ebizo could accept them.
They also knew that Rasa and Onoki were colluding for the research of some secret weapon, or even to conduct horrifying research and experiments on forbidden techniques, and that all of these involved many things.
For example, large sums of money, human experimentation, etc., so they must stop them or put pressure on Rasa to prevent Sunagakure from being dragged down.
Are you kidding me?
I'm doing this for the sake of Sunagakure. You old codgers are so terrified that you dare not sit down, yet you still jump out to stop me at this time.
Luo Sha's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he was filled with murderous intent, but he was still forcibly pressed down because he couldn't move, he really couldn't move.
The two people in front of him were not Yecang. If he made a move, he would completely enrage the conservative forces in the village, and the old faction would completely defect, which would seriously affect his rule.
“Advisor Ebizo, you should know that I am doing this for the benefit of the village.” Ebizo’s words enraged Rasa.
Do you want to know why I'm doing this?
I am fighting for the sake of Sunagakure.
The problem is, what are you doing? What you're doing is disregarding the village's interests! You're influencing me, interfering with me, and thus harming the village.
“Your approach is too radical and will plunge the village into utter ruin,” Granny Chiyo said.
Why should I stop you?
Because you are too radical, you will bring the village to its doom.
Don't forget, Kumogakure and Iwagakure are already crippled, Kirigakure is isolated overseas and attacking it would be too costly, and if Sunagakure were to be too conspicuous now, it would inevitably attract heavy blows from Konoha, which would definitely not be a good thing for the village.
The Sand Village is currently unable to withstand the attack from the Leaf Village. The Stone Village serves as a cautionary tale. If you continue to walk this tightrope, you are very likely to provoke the Uchiha Hakumochi from the Leaf Village.
Once that happens, it's all over.
"I'm radical? It's more accurate to say you're all too weak." Rasa didn't think he was radical; on the contrary, he felt that Chiyo, Ebizo, and the others were too weak.
The remnants of the old era shouldn't be pointing fingers. Now, I'm in charge of Sunagakure; I am the Kazekage.
Why do you like giving advice so much?
You two old geezers...
Honestly, it's so annoying. I just don't understand what these old guys are thinking. Do they have to show off their abilities? Don't they have any self-awareness? Don't they know how annoying they are?
In short, I don't like it, I really don't like it!
"Fengying, what do you mean by that?" Haibaozang was furious upon hearing this. Even with his composure, he could not tolerate Luosha's words, which clearly showed his disdain for the siblings.
The problem is that we have made great contributions to Sunagakure and are the two most senior members of the village. We should be at the age of retirement, so why do we still have to take charge?
Isn't it because you guys aren't careful enough?
If things were really that easy, would my brother and I need to be out here doing this? Do you really think you can hide what you've done from Konoha? There are quite a few high-ranking members in Sunagakure who are close to Konoha, plus some other ninja clans. Do you think what you're doing is so safe? Think about Konoha now, so tough on the outside world. Iwagakure is a cautionary tale. My brother and I can't let you drag Sunagakure into the fire.
"What do I mean?"
Luo Sha snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Two advisors, I'm giving you face by calling you advisors. If I didn't, you'd just be two old fogies."
We're giving you face; you're our advisors.
Disrespect is nothing but a load of rubbish!
Now that Rasa is showing no respect and acting extremely arrogantly, it has undoubtedly provoked Chiyo and Ebizo. Both of them are furious because they never expected Rasa to be so crazy.
They are utterly lawless and completely disregard us.
Do you even consider us two advisors anymore?
Is there any respect involved?
"Kazekage, you've gone completely mad!" Ebizo was both shocked and furious. He had never expected things to turn out this way. This Rasa was truly inhuman.
"Hmm, am I wrong?"
However, Luo Sha did not think he had said anything wrong.
He doesn't think he did anything wrong; the problem lies with the two of you, not with me at all.
"Kazekage, you'd better watch yourself." Granny Chiyo stopped her hot-tempered younger brother. She knew that Ebizo was about to take action, but Rasa was, after all, the Kazekage, and she couldn't do that.
Of course, on the other hand, the other party is not weak, and they are protected by the Sand Village's Anbu. The two of them alone cannot solve the problem quickly, not to mention that they cannot take action in the Kazekage's office.
If they really take action, Sunagakure will definitely be destroyed, which is not a situation they want to see.
Although Rasa is acting crazy now, he is still the Kazekage after all.
They cannot be sinners against Sunagakure.
"Hmph, what do you mean by 'do your own thing'? You're wasting my time." However, Rasa didn't care at all; instead, he felt that Chiyo and Ebizo were wasting his time.
Forget it, let's not dwell on it. They're just two old folks anyway, who knows how many more years they'll live. No need to worry about these old people...
Although Rasa was somewhat dissatisfied, he wouldn't hold a grudge, since Chiyo and Ebizo didn't have many years left to live, so he didn't need to bother dealing with them.
The most important thing right now is to build the secret base with Iwagakure within the Bird Country.
The Bird Country has already been divided between Sunagakure and Iwagakure, and the purpose of this division is to establish more than 427 bases for secret research.
The base is not just one place, but the most important base is located in the center, buried deep underground, and is kept under a very high level of secrecy.
The reason Luo Sha had to come every ten days was to keep track of the base's experimental progress, understand the progress in all aspects, and ensure that he wouldn't be fooled or tricked.
Rasa is very wary of that old geezer, Onoki. Although they have cooperated, they cannot let Onoki take the lead, since he has provided a lot of technical support.
The Sand Village doesn't have much technical expertise, so he needs to be proactive and not be fooled...
Well, then we're really doomed.
“Maki, come with me.”
Maki is still very young, but Luo Sha is already intentionally training him. This time when he went to the base, he only brought two people with him, just like before.
Maki is one of them, and the other is a member of the Anbu, one of the Kazekage's personal guards, who can be considered Rasa's confidant.
"Yes."
The young Maki appeared in the office, his attitude respectful and humble.
He was extremely loyal to Rasa, so even though some of Rasa's actions were a bit too crazy, such as his angry rebuke of Chiyo and Ebizo, two highly respected seniors in Sunagakure, he chose to ignore them.
Everything is for Sunagakure!
Chapter 289 Assassination, Counterattack
In the desert, Orochimaru, who was traveling with Yekura, suddenly stopped.
Upon seeing this, Ye Cang's expression changed slightly, and he frowned, asking, "What's going on?"
Orochimaru said softly, "Sunagakure has already sent people to intercept and kill you."
Yecang snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, what Sand Village? It's Rasa!"
It's not surprising that Luo Sha sent someone to kill her. Although she had all the proper procedures for leaving the village this time, it didn't mean that Luo Sha wasn't suspicious. And once someone like him had suspicions, he would definitely take action.
As expected, only one of us could survive. I never imagined that after making such great contributions to Sunagakure, I would be so easily abandoned...
