The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 922 Negotiation

Sunagakure Village.

Fengying's office.

Although the Sand Village retreated in advance, they suffered no losses in this operation.

But none of Elder Zhao's men were stopped.

For Sunagakure, this was adding insult to injury.

For Sunagakure, the consequences of such an elder's betrayal are very serious.

Not to mention the much information that Kazuaki knew, such as the village's barrier system, the patrol patterns of the Anbu, who the Sand Village's top fighters were, and what special techniques they possessed.

Now, thanks to Elder Kazuki's betrayal, the news will be known to Konoha.

Besides these, the most important thing is the intelligence on Sunagakure's current supply lines.

The reason Sunagakure is still able to survive is because of caravans from Kumogakure and other countries.

They are still delivering supplies to Sunagakure.

After all, some countries still hope that Sunagakure can hold out for a little longer.

These supply routes are now vulnerable to attack by Konoha.

Therefore, Yekura is not only modifying the patrol routes in the village, including the barrier nodes, but also developing new routes for transporting supplies.

However, the appearance of Qianyao has put a lot of pressure on Yecang, and his face looks very pale now.

"Lord Kazekage, you should rest for a while."

"Even if Elder Zhao betrayed us and went to the past, it wouldn't be this fast for the people from his side to come over with this intelligence."

Seeing Ye Cang working so hard that he neglected his meals and sleep, Maki couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang rubbed his temples and said wearily:

"That's true, and I'll feel more at ease if it's changed sooner rather than later."

"But if Uchiha Chiyo goes to the battlefield now, we have no way to control him."

Maki paused for a moment. He had experienced the last Shinobi World War and escaped death.

Even after several years, I still vividly remember the 200-meter-tall Susanoo of Chiyo.

"The only way we can stop Uchiha Chiyo now is to set up a large-scale formation or a large-scale trap."

"A large-scale formation? A large-scale trap?"

Ye Cang shook his head, not very optimistic.

After all, Konoha's sealing techniques are far superior to those of Sunagakure, so it's unlikely to be effective.

As for large traps, there are many problems to be aware of if you want to gain anything from them.

The key point is that the completed Susanoo can fly, which directly renders many large traps ineffective.

However, they really had no other ideas besides these.

We can only take it one step at a time now.

knock knock knock.

An ANBU member knocked on the door and entered to report, "Lord Kazekage, Black Zetsu has arrived."

Ye Cang suddenly stood up, his face extremely pale.

"He concealed information about Qianyao, and now he still dares to come here."

Maki advised from the side, "Lord Kazekage, why not listen to his intentions? After all, we don't have any better solutions right now."

Ye Cang slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Okay, take him to the conference room."

……

Inside the Sand Village meeting room.

Ye Cang pushed the door open with a bang.

He glanced at Black Zetsu, who was still sitting there, and was immediately filled with rage.

Don't you think you owe me an explanation?

“You must know Qianyao’s strength, yet you concealed it.”

Ye Cang's tone was somewhat unpleasant. This Black Zetsu had clearly tricked Sunagakure this time, and if it weren't for their reconnaissance equipment, they would have been in trouble.

I estimate that a lot of people will die this time.

Seeing Ye Cang's anger, Black Zetsu shrugged helplessly and said:

"Although I did call out to Obito, it was also to deal with Konoha."

"Besides... I didn't know Qianyao would come to the battlefield,"

Ye Cang said resentfully, "He is the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, why isn't he on the battlefield?"

Black Zetsu had already prepared his lines beforehand, and he began to deceive:

"It's true that Chiyo is strong, but Konoha only has so many people, and the Land of Fire has so much land."

"If we take down Sunagakure in a short time, Konoha won't be able to handle it."

"This is why Konoha has been taking a steady and methodical approach to conquering the Land of Wind."

"Therefore, it is unlikely that Qianyao will go to the battlefield."

Ye Cang glanced at him sideways, her expression conveying a clear meaning:

Do you think I look like an idiot?

"Cough cough..."

Black Zetsu coughed, then changed the subject:

"However, Uchiha Chiyo will definitely be on the battlefield, so how to restrain Uchiha Chiyo has become the most important thing."

Yekura's face showed a hint of sarcasm: "You think you can beat Obito to a pulp by Uchiha Senyo?"

Black Zetsu thought to himself, "As expected, the Sand Village retreated because they saw Obito being brutally beaten by Uchiha Senyo."

"Although Obito and I are no good, I have a way."

Although she knew Black Zetsu was keeping her in suspense, Kazekage Yekura's curiosity was still piqued.

What's your idea?

Black Zetsu first looked around, as if to say, "What I'm talking about is all secret."

But Yekura remained unmoved; she wouldn't feel safe without the protection of the Anbu in the room.

Seeing Ye Cang's expression, Black Zetsu didn't say much but instead asked:

Do you think the Fourth Hokage was dead or seriously injured?

Yekura's pupils dilated; she had already grasped the unspoken meaning in Black Zetsu's words.

Before she could reply, Black Zetsu continued, "Konoha should already have the ability to revive the dead."

"The previous claim that Minato Namikaze was seriously injured was just an excuse."

"The dead have come back to life!?"

Yekura and Maki exchanged glances; this was truly a bombshell.

Both of their eyes were darting around quickly, and Maki spoke first, asking:

"So what does all this have to do with your method? Can you really bring the dead back to life?"

Yecang also realized, yes, in the current situation, the key is Black Zetsu's method.

Black Zetsu said directly, "A true resurrection is impossible, but a temporary resurrection for fighting is still possible."

Ye Cang was somewhat surprised: "What do you mean?"

"I possess a secret technique called Impure World Reincarnation. This technique can summon the souls of long-dead ninjas back to the world of the living and revive them in physical form."

"Of course, the medium is this person's remains."

Black Zetsu's words stunned everyone in the Sand Village.

Such a secret technique actually exists!?

"I remember that your first and second Kazekage of Sunagakure were Retsuto and Shamon, right?"

"If they were to be resurrected, they might not necessarily be unable to defeat Uchiha Chiyo."

Black Zetsu finished speaking in one go, and now they were just waiting for the Sand Village's reaction.

Yecang wasn't concerned about disturbing the dead. She was the Kazekage first, and the village was almost gone, so she didn't care about disturbing the dead.

She's now wondering if the bodies of the first and second generation can still be found.

After all, decades have passed, and the climate in the Land of Wind is harsh; it's very likely that not even a trace of bones will remain.

Maki's approach was more cautious; he was considering whose side they would ultimately listen to if the Sand Village's top fighters were resurrected.

"Cough cough..." Maki coughed deliberately, waking Yecang from his thoughts, and gave him a wink.

Yecang trusted this assistant a lot and understood immediately.

"We need to consider this matter. Besides the remains of the resurrected person, do we need anything else?"

Yekura's reaction was exactly what Black Zetsu had expected, but given Sunagakure's current state, it was unrealistic to expect powerful figures to be sacrificed.

To let them take the bullets for him, Black Zetsu also spoke up:

"Since it's a collaboration, I can take care of the other materials."

"I'll leave someone here. You can contact me again if you've made up your minds."
