Chapter 147
What if Hinata can't help but communicate with the One-Tail and let it appear in the Sand Village...
Kakashi didn't dare to imagine it anymore.
"Hinata, I know there is still hatred between Konoha and Sand Village, but if we want to change the relationship between the two villages, we must start with us."
"As the envoys of Konoha, if even we are hostile to the Sand Village, the relationship between Konoha and Sand Village will become worse and worse."
Hinata lay on the bed, with her hands on her chin, kicking her legs, she was bored to death.
Seeing that Kakashi finally paid attention to her, Hinata showed dissatisfaction: "But as the envoys of Konoha, we represent the Hokage. The Sand Village can't say to welcome us to the border, but at least they should receive us all the way, and provide free food and accommodation!"
Kakashi covered his forehead: "After all, do you still dislike the high prices in the Wind Country?"
Although the area of the Wind Country is the largest among the five major countries, most of the land of the Wind Country is desert, or deserted Gobi.
The area of land in the Kingdom of Wind that can allow humans to survive is actually not large.
Therefore, a large number of materials in the Kingdom of Wind must be imported from foreign countries, which directly leads to extremely high prices in the Kingdom of Wind. Fruits that can be picked everywhere on the back mountain of Konoha are more expensive than meat in the Kingdom of Wind.
Especially seafood.
It is almost difficult to eat seafood in the Kingdom of Wind. The grilled squid that can be seen everywhere on the streets of Konoha is actually a high-end food that only rich people can eat in the Kingdom of Wind.
Although the Kingdom of Wind has the unique style of the desert, especially in the evening, the afterglow of the sunset sprinkles on the town made of loess, which looks like a picturesque scenery from a distance.
But if you really want to live here, you need to endure too many difficulties.
Sighing slightly, Kakashi changed the subject: "Hinata, our mission this time is to represent Konoha to the Sand Village and re-establish the friendship between the two major ninja villages."
"But you have to know that those hostile ninja villages that want to destroy the relationship between Konoha and Sand Village will definitely take action."
"The war between Konoha and Sand Village has just ended. Now is the time when the trust between the two villages is the weakest. There is also hostility between Konoha ninjas and Sand ninjas."
"So don't think we are here to play."
"The reason why those people haven't taken action yet may be for the war compensation money from Sand Village..."
Hinata sat up from the bed and exclaimed: "Teacher Kakashi, why did you say such a dangerous thing until now?"
At the end, Hinata puffed her cheeks and looked at Kakashi with a hint of complaint in her eyes: "Teacher Kakashi, your conscience is really bad ...Hmm, you actually still have the mind to peek at pornographic books when it's so dangerous!"
Kakashi said lightly: "Don't act like a spoiled child!"
"You should have thought of this kind of thing yourself, not relying on me to remind you."
"In the ninja world, it's not just Konoha's hostile ninja village that's eyeing this money, there may also be Akatsuki."
"So our mission is very important. Not only must we bring the war compensation back to Konoha, but we must also bring the Sand Village study group back to Konoha safely."
Hinata asked tentatively: "Then when we go back, the Sand Village should send someone to escort us to the border, right?"
Kakashi thought about it and said lightly: "That depends on how important the study group we choose is!"
"Maybe the Sand Village will also send someone to rob the money halfway. If the people of Sand Village die together, Konoha will not suspect the Sand Village."
Hinata thought about it seriously.
In the end, she found that she really had no idea what to do.
If the Sand Village really wants to rob the money back halfway, there are people from the Sand Village in the team as an insider, and Hinata and the others can't avoid the attack of the Sand Village no matter what.
What's more, there are other ninja villages also eyeing the money.
Hinata and Kakashi have been on the road from Konoha for several days. Even if this matter was a secret at the beginning, by now, those who should know it are probably already known.
Especially Kakashi also mentioned the Akatsuki organization.
It's true that the Akatsuki organization wants to collect funds for Sister Nan to squander, but the person that Hinata is more worried about is Black Zetsu.
Hinata is acting with Kakashi this time, and Black Zetsu will never miss this opportunity.
Black Zetsu's last plan in the Land of Water failed because he underestimated Hinata's strength. If he takes action again, he will definitely use the power of the Akatsuki organization.
And this war compensation may be the best excuse.
Seeing Hinata's nervous face, Kakashi comforted her: "But don't worry too much, your strength is no longer a secret in the ninja world. If you and I join forces, the major ninja villages will have to send out teams of jonin-level ninjas."
"But in order to hide their identities, the major ninja villages cannot send out large forces... If they think about it carefully, they may give up the plan."
Hinata said with a serious face: "I am worried about the Akatsuki organization!"
"After our Hyuga family's secret investigation, the last Water Country incident should be the work of the Akatsuki organization."
"I'm being targeted by them!"
Kakashi's expression moved when he heard this. He had long noticed the unusualness of the Water Country incident and originally thought it was the work of Danzo.
But if it was the Akatsuki organization...
Chapter 220 Hinata and the Sand Village's open and secret struggles
"Hatake Kakashi, Hyuga Hinata... We meet again!"
Early the next morning, Hinata, Kakashi, Fengshen, and Raijin had just finished breakfast when they saw Maki, Kankuro, and Temari at the door of the hotel.
There was no emotion on Maki's face. Even if he was hostile to Konoha in his heart, he would not show it on such an occasion.
But there was a lot revealed in his eyes.
"I am Maki, the Jonin of Sagakure, and I welcome you on behalf of the village...the messenger of Konoha."
Kakashi stepped forward and said: "I am Hatake Kakashi, the Jounin of Konoha."
Hinata stood beside Kakashi seriously and no longer regarded this mission as a trip. After the conversation with Kakashi last night, Hinata was completely alert.
Although this mission to Sunagakure Village is confidential, the major ninja villages will not receive any news. The Akatsuki organization even has Bai Zetsu to gather information for them.
Although Hinata didn't know the specific amount of the war compensation, since it was a transaction between shinobi villages, it would definitely not be a small amount.
There will definitely be many people eyeing this money.
Kakashi was originally a famous 'copy ninja' in the ninja world. Hinata had experienced several battles and had already leaked information.
This means that once the enemy takes action, their deployment must be aimed at Hinata and Kakashi.
Marky nodded and said calmly: "The village's senior officials are already waiting for you, come with me!"
Kakashi and Hinata looked at each other, then followed Maggi and the other three, running towards the Sunagakure Village.
At least during this period in Sunagakure Village, the safety of Hinata and others can be guaranteed.
Neither Kakashi nor Maki had the desire to talk. Although Hinata and Kakashi escorted them back to the Land of Wind not long ago, the person who captured them and threatened Sunagakure Village was also Hinata who was with Kakashi. field.
Sand Hidden Village is surrounded by high rock walls, making it impossible for outsiders to see everything in the village.
The only way out of the village is through the canyon, which the sand ninjas call the 'One Line of Sky'.
There are sand ninjas standing guard on the rock wall monitoring everything around the village. Unless there is a traitor to support them, no one can quietly invade the sand hidden village.
After Ma Ji authenticated his identity with the guarding ninja, he led Hinata and others into Sunagakure Village.
With desert-style buildings and dry and clean alleys, if this wasn't a ninja village, it would be quite poetic.
People in Sunagakure Village, both men and women, like to wear headscarves, veils, and coarse slim-fitting robes, which look a bit mysterious.
As soon as Hinata and Kakashi entered Sunagakure Village, the ninjas and civilians in the village turned their attention.
Different from the attire of Sunagakure Village, the temperament is completely inconsistent with the people here. Coupled with the symbol on the forehead protector, there is almost no guessing about the identity of the Konoha ninja.
Hinata can probably understand how Naruto felt when he was ostracized by the villagers when he was a child.
Because Hinata was facing that look of hostility, hatred, and disgust at this moment.
The people of Sunagakure Village seemed to be too lazy to hide their emotions, and all their hostility toward Konoha was clearly displayed on their faces.
Maki's face was filled with uncertainty, Temari walked up to Hinata and whispered, "I'm sorry!"
Hinata nodded slightly and followed Kakashi without saying a word, heading towards the Kazekage Building.
In this case, even though Hinata received etiquette education from the nobles since she was a child, she kept hinting in her heart that she must be calm before entering Sunagakure Village. But after actually entering Sunagakure Village, Hinata was still a little angry.
This kind of anger is probably the urge to argue with others or directly use force.
After all, in Hinata's view, all the current difficulties in Sunagakure Village are their own fault.
Kakashi slowed down slightly, looked sideways at Hinata, and whispered: "The fifth generation's other purpose in letting you come to Sunagakure Village is to hope that you can restrain yourself and remain calm in an environment surrounded by wolves. Self-confidence is also a kind of practice.”
Hinata nodded and said softly: "You are right, in fact, you just need to adjust your mentality."
"Weakness is the original sin, and the winner does not accept blame."
"The attitude of Sunagakure Village is not so much hostility to us, but rather showing its incompetence in front of us... If they were strong enough, they wouldn't have this kind of pain!"
Hinata's voice was very low, and the people around her might not be able to hear it, but Maki, Kankuro, and Temari could hear it clearly.
Maki's face was gloomy, and Temari also looked at Hinata angrily.
Hinata chuckled and said, "Why, am I right?"
"Look at the expressions of these people, it's not us who are embarrassed..."
"At least when you were in Konoha, our people never looked at you in this way."
"It seems that the discipline of your Sand Hidden Village is much worse than ours in Konoha!"
Marki quickened his pace and walked quickly towards the Fengying Tower.
Hinata said something right. The main reason why Sunagakure Village is so hostile to Konoha is because they are weak and because they lost the war.
If they win the Konoha Collapse Plan, then the attitude of welcoming the Konoha Ninjas at this moment may be to sing and dance, laughing at how embarrassed the Konoha Ninjas are!
Kakashi shook his head slightly.
Hinata's words can actually be thought about in her heart, there is no need to say them out loud.
However, sometimes a proper counterattack can make the opponent restrain a bit.
Hinata and the others walked all the way from the village entrance. Except for Temari whispering "sorry", Maki never showed any attitude, as if he turned a blind eye to the hostility of the Sand Village.
Although this hostility is an inevitable result, if the Sand Village really wants to reconcile with Konoha, it should at least order the villagers to restrain themselves a little.
Wind Shadow Building.
Maki brought Hinata, Kakashi and others to the door of a conference room and said sideways: "The village's senior officials are waiting for you inside."
Kakashi nodded slightly and said "yes".
Hinata looked at the God of Wind and the God of Thunder with some embarrassment, and said to Temari: "Please arrange them, and it's better to prepare some food for them."
Temari nodded and said: "Yes! Leave it to me!"
Maki pushed open the door of the conference room and said lightly: "Everyone from Konoha, please come in!"
Hinata and Kakashi walked into the conference room, and the senior officials of the Sand Village in the conference room also turned their eyes to the door.
The conference room was very empty, with a huge round table in the middle and statues of successive Kazekages in the corner as decoration.
Although the colors were monotonous, there was a solemn atmosphere.
An old man turned his eyes to Hinata and said lightly: "This is a high-level meeting between our Sand Village and Konoha. This little girl... I'm afraid it's not appropriate to participate!"
Kakashi tilted his head slightly and said calmly: "She is Hinata Hyuga, the secretary of the Hokage. All the content I discuss with you next needs to be recorded by her and reported to the fifth generation Hokage after returning."
Hinata stepped forward and teased: "Speaking of which, it seems that there are quite a lot of high-level people in your Sand Village!"
Chapter 221 Konoha is so sunny against the backdrop of Sand Village
"Huh?"
There are a lot of high-level people in the Sand Village?
Everyone in the Sand Village looked at each other, and everyone didn't know what Hinata wanted to express.
Maki asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Nothing..."
Hinata chuckled, "But I think I know why you haven't chosen the fifth Kazekage for so long!"
Maki's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
