#218 - Chapter 218: Flowing Sand River and Fierce Fighting Lake
Yahiko never expected that Rasa would present him with such a difficult problem upon arriving at Sunagakure this time!
At this moment, the weakness of Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato as idealists was undoubtedly exposed.
At such a crucial moment, they were unable to discard emotions and ideals and make the most rational decision that would best serve their interests.
However, they cannot be blamed for this; they are too young and still harbor a naive fantasy about this world that they shouldn't have. Perhaps only after Hanzo takes action against them will they be completely awakened.
Yahiko didn't stay in Sunagakure for long, only about half a day, before leaving under the cover of night.
Rasa didn't mind and continued to follow the original plan, on the one hand, planning the future development of Sunagakure, and on the other hand, dealing with the Four-Tails and Six-Tails.
Time passed slowly like this...
Almost a week later, Sunagakure finally slowly recovered from the tailed beast turmoil.
Everyone's life began to return to normal.
Moreover, with the announcement of Sunagakure's "Five-Year Development Plan," Sunagakure became increasingly lively.
If it weren't for the large cracks left on the buildings in the city and the changes in the terrain around Sunagakure, I'm afraid no one would have imagined that Sunagakure had almost faced destruction two weeks ago.
While Sunagakure was steadily developing, the gears of fate for the entire ninja world also began to turn.
First, there was news from Kirigakure. Before Sunagakure had time to settle the score with Kirigakure, Kirigakure was already in chaos. Compared to Sunagakure, which welcomed guests from all directions for the sake of development, Kirigakure, which had always adhered to a closed-door policy, had much more blocked information channels. But even so, Rasa still received some news from the Anbu.
For example, the mysterious suicide of the Third Mizukage!
For a powerhouse of the level and status of a Kage, it would be almost impossible to make them easily end their own lives.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Although there was no specific intelligence, the Anbu personnel hidden in Kirigakure still discovered that on the night when the news of the Six-Tails appearing in Sunagakure spread to Kirigakure, a civil strife broke out in Kirigakure.
The leader was the Hozuki clan.
On the third day of that civil strife, the Third Mizukage chose to commit suicide.
A ninja named Hozuki Yagura became the Fourth Mizukage.
Obviously, this was the result of compromise because Hozuki Mangetsu, a genius ninja of the Hozuki clan, became the leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the personal guard created by the Third Mizukage, after this civil strife. He was the wielder of the Twin Swords Hiramekarei and possessed the right to use all seven ninja swords.
Then there was Konoha. Three days ago, Konoha held the inauguration ceremony for the Fourth Hokage. Minato Namikaze, who had made a splash on the battlefield of this ninja world war and became the leader of Konoha's younger generation, officially took over the position of Hokage from the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi after gaining the daimyo's approval, becoming Konoha's Fourth Hokage.
Finally, there were Iwagakure and Kumogakure. After receiving the news of the tailed beast turmoil in Sunagakure, Iwagakure chose to withdraw all its ninjas abroad, including those in Konoha, at the first moment, announcing a closed-door policy and withdrawing from this ninja world war. Anyone with eyes could see that Iwagakure was afraid of Sunagakure's revenge. Being able to fight against three tailed beasts with its own strength, Iwagakure no longer had the power to confront Sunagakure.
After Iwagakure withdrew, Kumogakure immediately took the same action, withdrawing its ninjas from the outside world. However, they did not adopt a closed-door policy but continued to take a wait-and-see attitude towards the outside world because, compared to Iwagakure, Kumogakure did not suffer any losses this time and still had the power to fight.
In this way, the entire ninja world once again fell into an eerie calm.
This has happened countless times.
But everyone can see it.
This was brought about by the Kazekage of Sunagakure.
He temporarily pacified the ninja world with his powerful personal strength and wisdom.
This was something that only the former God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, and the Asura of the Ninja World, Madara Uchiha, could do.
At this time, Sunagakure's huge five-year development plan, especially the plan to dig a canal in the Land of Wind to connect Sunagakure with the sea and the Land of Demons, attracted the attention of everyone in the entire ninja world.
Ordinary people may not have felt anything, but those smart businessmen had already seen that Sunagakure's future was limitless.
First of all, with the Kazekage's powerful personal strength, Sunagakure and the Land of Wind could be guaranteed peace and stability for a long time in the future.
Secondly, Sunagakure is different from other ninja villages; it is very welcoming to outsiders, and the business environment is very superior.
Finally, Sunagakure is famous for its wealth.
This year, many businessmen have already earned a lot of wealth by trading in Sunagakure.
If it weren't for the obstruction of the desert, I'm afraid more people would go to Sunagakure.
Now that Sunagakure's five-year plan has been released, especially the canal that will be opened, it has completely dispelled the last obstacle for people to go to Sunagakure.
At this time, countless businessmen have begun to prepare various goods, just waiting for the day when the canal is opened...
At this time, after a week, Sunagakure, after confirming the specific route of the river named "Quicksand River" by Sunagakure, the construction work of the Quicksand River began.
As for the lake connecting the Quicksand River, it was named "Rettō Lake" by Sunagakure.
Rettō is the name of the First Kazekage of Sunagakure, which is a kind of village patriotism education.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
Since it is a major project concerning the future of Sunagakure, Sunagakure will naturally not take it lightly, and the necessary rituals are still there.
In Sunagakure, the edge of the sinkhole that has been built with a circle of guardrails has already been crowded with people as soon as dawn breaks.
There are not only the villagers of Sunagakure but also countless businessmen who came to Sunagakure in the past week after receiving the news.
Everyone is looking forward to the coming miracle!
Because Sunagakure has already sent out a message that they will complete this Quicksand River in a month.
This is simply impossible with manpower.
Because according to the news announced by Sunagakure!
The river named Quicksand River is divided into two waterways, one of which passes through the Land of Wind, connecting Sunagakure and the sea, and the other passes through the Land of Wind and the Land of Demons, connecting Sunagakure and the Land of Demons.
Among them, the first to be built is the first one.
Because of the geographical environment of the Land of Wind, there are no towns or mountains obstructing the road on this waterway, so there will be no troublesome relocation problems. The distance is the shortest, but even so, this waterway is still more than 1,300 kilometers long.
Therefore, this time Sunagakure will use the power of ninjas, and even the Kazekage will personally take action.
Regarding the power of this Kazekage of Sunagakure, who is called a demigod by the entire ninja world, and even some have called him a god, not everyone has seen it, and even those who have seen it don't mind witnessing it again.
In this way, in everyone's expectations, Sunagakure finally began to act.
