31 I'll be the village chief!

"No! Grandpa!"

A little girl from the hidden grass village shouted and threw herself on the old man, tears streaming down her face.

The top executives also have their own relatives, and the villagers stepped forward one after another, unable to restrain their tears, and kept silent one by one.

The next few days.

Under the arrangement of Kusaka Chiba, all the ninjas were dispatched, almost isolated from the outside world, and cut off all contact. As long as any ninjas above the level of ordinary Jōnin were found, Kusaka Chiba would personally take action.

The other ordinary scouts were stopped outside the grass ninja village.

Under such isolation, only the high-level officials of Konoha knew about the news of the higher-ups annihilation of Hidden Grass Village.

It is also considered to protect the hidden grass village for a short period of time.

Finally, on this day, a Konoha envoy came to Hidden Grass Village and sent a letter to Kusaka Chiba: "The head of your village has settled down in Konoha and is living in anonymity, unwilling to live an uprooted life."

This letter from Konoha directly chilled the hearts of everyone in Hidden Grass Village.

The village chief's character is well understood by the villagers of Hidden Grass Village. Just like the third Hokage's deep love for Konoha, the village chief is also deeply in love with Hidden Grass Village.

Settled in Konoha and did not want to come back was just an official rhetoric.

Combined with the endings of other high-level officials, everyone knew that the village chief had no chance of surviving, and even his corpse would be disposed of to avoid leaving evidence.

In this way.

All the power to protect the Hidden Grass Village disappeared nearly overnight, leaving only...

Everyone's eager eyes gradually turned to Kusaka Chiba.

This young man has repeatedly created miracles, and his strength is evident to all.

Before the village chief left, he even said that he would entrust the Hidden Grass Village to Kusaka Chiba. At that time, Kusaka Chiba agreed.

"Konoha's behavior is as shameful as Iwagakure. If you are really willing to follow me, then the first decision I want to make is to cut off alliance with Konoha."

Kusaka Chiba said firmly.

"Cut off the alliance with Konoha? Isn't that the logical thing to do!"

"These bad guys killed my grandpa..."

"They almost wiped out our entire village. If Chiba hadn't come back, we might have...

The villagers were filled with righteous indignation, and they had lingering fears.

Konoha, ostensibly, house arresting ordinary villagers and tying up their ninja.

However, if Chiba was late in returning, it is hard to say whether they will end up dead or alive.

Of course, that's just the average person speaking.

"Everyone, and Chiba, think about it clearly, we are now like a candle in the wind. If we lose Konoha as an ally, once the news leaks..."

"At that time, basically all the ninja villages will be eyeing us."

"Let's not mention the Iwagakure, one of the five major countries, the nearby remote villages, which have long been eyeing us and want to annex it."

There are still many sensible people who weigh the pros and cons and understand to maximize the benefits of optimizing the survival of the hidden grass village.

For such people, they should generally be entrusted with the important task of becoming the new group of top management of the Hidden Grass Village and deciding the fate of the village.

Even the many villagers of Hidden Grass Village, who were full of grief and anger, couldn't help thinking of the safety of their own families young and old, and nodded in agreement, agreeing with these people's words.

However, Chiba didn't think so.

"If, the Hidden Grass Village is still presided over by you cowards, then what difference is there between us and before?"

Kusaka Chiba said coldly.

In their opinion, Kusaka Chiba is really an ignorant child who doesn't know what to do, and it is the root of the survival of the Hidden Grass Village to be condescending.

"You are just used to being oppressed by the two great powers, and now the village was almost wiped out, and you are still thinking about alliance with Konoha. What are you if not a slave on his knees? If you dare to say more, it will be treated as a traitor and be dealt with immediately."

Kusaka Chiba said incomparably ironically.

In an instant, it made these few people dare not say anything.

But there was one person, about the same age as Kusaka Chiba, with a chubby body and face, and the young ninja stood up and said, "I still don't agree! What you're doing is tantamount to letting all of us die together. I don't care what you do. I have to live, even though it's a terrible world!"

Kusaka Chiba glanced at the young man more, with some familiarity, then was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This little boy is obviously the predecessor of the "Preta Path" among the Six Paths of Pain.

"Kneel down."

However, Kusaka Chiba did not hold back on him, a slap on his shoulder, immediately pressed the little fatty on both knees, cracking on the ground, he yelled out in pain.

"Kusaka Chiba! I ask you, even if the information is completely closed, what should we do if Konoha sends someone to destroy us?"

The teenager who was the predecessor of Preta Path questioned.

"I'll take care of it."

Kusaka Chiba smiled faintly and said without concern.

"You..."

The young man was choked by the answer and was speechless. After a long time, he asked, "Then what if Hokage comes in person?"

"I'll take care of it."

Kusaka Chiba faintly continued to answer.

"Okay! Even if you can beat the hokage, what if the Hidden Leaf Village leaks the news to other great shinobi villages and destroys us? Especially Iwagakure, which is so close to us..."

"Stop talking, I'll take care of it."

Kusaka Chiba helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said.

"You you you..."

This time, the young man was completely speechless, glaring at Kusaka Chiba, but he couldn't speak for a long time.
