Chapter 79 Luo Sha Succeeds To The Throne

It has only been half a year since we got together at the barbecue restaurant.

Everything in the village began to become cold and chilly.

Just walking on an ordinary street, Genma could see Konoha ninjas wearing forehead protectors running as fast as arrows on the eaves and big trees.

There are also injured people who are constantly being sent to the ninja hospital, with bandages soaked in blood wrapped around their bodies.

In the past six months, Konoha Hidden Village has received information that Kazekage, the Third Generation of Sand Hidden Village, has disappeared.

Sand Hidden Village put all its efforts into searching, but after more than half a year, there was no news.

In the past six months, Sunagakure Village can be said to be leaderless. Even with Chiyo, Ebizō and other advisors, and Rasa, the Kazekage successor, taking charge of the overall situation, Sunagakure Village is still in turmoil.

The martial arts faction in the Kingdom of Wind took this opportunity to raise its head again.

In this unstable situation, frictions between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Hidden Village occurred from time to time, and small-scale battles continued.

The ninja fighting on the border is very fierce, and judging from the number of wounded, the situation on the front line is not optimistic and is getting worse.

It is estimated that Rasa will succeed Kazekage in the near future and declare war on Konoha.

"Are there many wounded today?"

In the office on the top floor of Konoha Hospital.

As soon as Genma came in, he saw Tsunade who looked tired.

Because wounded people continue to be sent to the border, Tsunade's workload has skyrocketed recently, far exceeding usual. Even if Genma can help her regain her physical strength and spirit, Tsunade will still feel tired.

"That's right." Tsunade endured her exhaustion and slowly opened the lunch box that Genma brought for her.

But she really had no appetite.

"I don't know how many people will die in this war..."

I don't know how many people will die in this war, and I don't know how many war orphans like myself and Xuanjian will be born.

"Would you blame me for not letting Shizune and the others go to the battlefield?"

"Of course not, and on the contrary, I don't want them to go to the battlefield." Xuanjian shook his head.

The battlefield is indeed a place for training, but the risks are also great.

Unless he can keep them by his side, Xuanjian cannot guarantee their safety 100%.

And now that Sakumo is not dead, Tsunade has not left, and Konoha's combat power is stronger than in the original work, if nothing unexpected happens, Konoha will still win the final victory.

Compared with these, what he wanted to pay more attention to now was Tsunade's physical condition.

And, how long will it take before Hiruzen Sarutobi will step down as Hokage.

In the original work, the Third Ninja World War ended, and Konoha Village, which paid a heavy price on the long front, finally won. The names of many heroes who sacrificed for the victory of the war were engraved on memorial tablets.

Faced with the heavy losses caused by the war to Konoha Village, Third Generation Sarutobi Hiruzen took the initiative to take responsibility and resigned from the position of Hokage.

This time it should be the same.

It would be impossible to prevent Hiruzen Sarutobi from resigning because of his own existence.

"That's good." Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief.

Although a bit selfish, since Mito's death, she has paid special attention to the lives of her family.

Dong Dong——

The two were silent for a moment, and then the knock on the office door rang again.

Dong Dong——

Genma gently opened the office door, and outside the door was a masked Anbu ninja.

But they were not only looking for Tsunade, but also Genma.

...

Push forward a few days.

Sand Hidden Village.

Due to the disappearance of Third Generation Kazekage, the martial arts faction in the village became active again.

Not only that, with the passage of time, resource issues have once again emerged in people's field of vision.

"Sister, this is not the way to go." Ebizō stood in Kazekage's office, pacing back and forth, feeling very anxious. "The daimyo has cut our financial budget again. Relying on Rasa's placer gold alone is simply a drop in the bucket."

Chiyo sat on the chair without saying a word, thinking about how to get out of the current predicament.

It would be great if Third Generation Kazekage was still around, who would get those little ones.

At this moment, a voice came into the ears of the two people.

"Chiyo-sama, Ebizō-sama, I'm back, this is today's placer gold."

Luo Sha, who went out to pan for gold, returned and used Magnet Style to control the gold dust to fall in front of the two of them.

The two looked at the placer gold on the ground, then raised their heads to look at Luo Sha.

That young face was full of exhaustion that could not be concealed.

Using Ninjutsu consumes Chakra. If a person consumes Chakra excessively for a long time, it will naturally cause serious burden on the body.

The high-intensity gold mining activity has made Luo Sha's body worse than before.

Seeing Luo Sha working hard for the village, Chiyo made a decision.

She stood up solemnly, met Luosha's eyes, and said seriously: "Luosha, you will take over the position of Kazekage!"

Third Generation Kazekage has been missing for more than half a year, and may have encountered an accident. Now he must find someone to stabilize the situation in Sunagakure Village.

"Nowadays, the village is suffering from internal and external troubles. Many forces have taken advantage of Kazekage-sama's absence to act recklessly and compete for power in the village, which has seriously depleted the country's power."

"Master Kazekage has been missing for such a long time, I'm afraid..."

Before Chiyo finished speaking, both Ebizō and Luo Sha understood what she meant.

After a pause, Chiyo continued: "Now we must stabilize the situation in the village. You are the heir trained by Master Kazekage, and we also see your contribution to the village."

"Without your help, the village's finances would have collapsed long ago."

"So Advisor Ebizō and I decided to recommend you as the Fourth Generation Kazekage."

Ebizō glanced at Chiyo.

Chiyo didn't discuss it with him at all, but he felt that what Chiyo said made sense and nodded to express his support for his sister.

Luo Sha was stunned by Chiyo's impassioned speech. She didn't expect that she would just go out to find some gold today, and when she came back, she would become Kazekage.

"Should I ask the Daimyo-sama?"

Chiyo said disdainfully: "The daimyo-sama cannot protect himself now. A civil war is about to break out. How can he have time to take care of us?"

"That's it. From today on, you are the Fourth Generation Kazekage."

Luo Sha had no choice but to accept the recommendation of the two and took the position of Kazekage.

"You have really hurt me!"

After Luo Sha finished speaking, he sat down behind Kazekage's desk and tried hard to hold back his smile.

Ebizō said: "Now that the position of Kazekage has been decided, let's discuss the future of the village."

Chiyo was silent, this was an unavoidable topic.

Letting Rasa become Kazekage is to stabilize the political situation, but the financial and resource crisis is right in front of us, and it is an unavoidable mountain.

Luo Sha closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then decided to inherit the will of his ancestor Kazekage: "Let's go to war! We have no choice if we want to divert domestic conflicts."

"Then which country do you think we need to wage war against?" Chiyo asked.

"Of course it's the land of fire." Luo Sha said word by word.

Chiyo and Ebizō did not question Rasa's decision.

The reason for going to war against the Fire Nation was explained to Third Generation Kazekage during the Second Ninja World.

It can only be said that Rasa is worthy of being the heir trained by the Third Generation Kazekage.
