The chances are slim.

Yekura pouted. Of course, she was unhappy with Orochimaru's implied doubts. What's wrong? Does he think I'm not strong enough?

Are you kidding me?

I've already said it, I'm not without people, I have people.

"Yes, I command a special Chunin unit. Don't be fooled by their Chunin status; they are all elites who survived the battlefield and are extremely strong."

Orochimaru asked in a deep voice, "How many people exactly?"

Yecang gave an affirmative answer: "There are about fifty people, a unit under my command. You can rest assured, they are absolutely loyal."

Loyalty is very important.

Disloyalty is the same as having no loyalty at all.

Loyalty is therefore very important, extremely important.

"Alright, loyalty is not easy. You have fifty people, plus some of your supporters, making a total of over seventy. That's barely enough. It's mainly because of me that we were able to succeed."

"No, it should be Konoha. We will provide you with funds. To win over ninjas, we can't just rely on camaraderie; we need real money."

Orochimaru said that none of that mattered; money was the most important thing. Anyway, this time he was given a special fund specifically to support your coup, so this money had to be spent, and spent lavishly.

"money?"

Yekura was surprised.

"Of course, you have to spend money, give them money, that's how you strengthen their belief in sticking with you. And then you have to keep throwing money at other people..."

Orochimaru continued to give instructions, emphasizing that money would definitely be spent, and that spending money was the best approach.

After all, time is of the essence now, so spending more money will make it easier to win you over.

To maintain loyalty, you need a lot of money.

Since I have plenty of money, I can spend it however I want.

Yekura: "..."

Is this how it's done?

It has to be said, this is rather outrageous.

For Yekura, the situation is not optimistic.

Because it costs money, especially money from Huamuye. It was supposed to be financial support, but what price will be paid to repay it later? It's hard to say, but I have no choice, do I?

Although she had many doubts, Ye Cang knew in her heart that she had no choice.

"Okay, you're right, let's do it your way."

Yekura was very clear about her position.

Once a decision is made, there's no room for hesitation.

She has no way back now; she can only go down this path to the bitter end.

"Okay, let's go back to the village."

Orochimaru nodded and said so.

Now it's time to go back to Sunagakure and wait for the big show to begin. You'd better play your part well and don't mess it up.

Chapter 301 Sunagakure Internal Meeting

Orochimaru and Pakura set off for Sunagakure.

Luo Sha's body lay in the yellow sand, and as the dust swirled, the sand slowly covered it.

Of course, it's impossible to completely cover it up. The smell can't be masked in a day or two, not to mention that the Sand Ninja troops stationed in the Land of Birds will definitely continue to investigate.

The two teams sent out before failed, but that was because of interference from Shiro and Esdeath's clones. Now that Rasa is dead, there is naturally no need for interference.

Furthermore, the commotion was quite significant, so the leader of the Sand Ninja garrison in the Land of Birds, Fiero, ultimately decided to continue investigating the situation.

Soon, an exploration team continued its journey, splitting into five smaller teams to explore the general area.

Of course, on the other side of the base, the garrison commander of Iwagakure Village, Takaishi Iwaichi, immediately reported the situation to Iwagakure Village.

Some things require the decision of the Tsuchikage.

Could something bad be about to happen in Sunagakure?

According to the timeline, the Kazekage of Sunagakure should have arrived by now, but this is already two days late, which is probably a problem, so we must be vigilant.

Feero quickly received the intelligence from the reconnaissance team, and the news sent at that moment made him faint; the Kazekage was dead…

Who did it?

Based on the traces of the fight at the scene, it can be inferred that there were at least four people involved, making it a carefully planned ambush. The Kazekage died from an earth-style ninjutsu.

However, this doesn't mean anything, because Earth Release isn't exclusive to Iwagakure; in fact, quite a few people in Sunagakure know it. So this really doesn't prove anything; on the contrary...

A conspiracy! There's a conspiracy behind this!

So, given this situation, what should we do?

Nobody knows. Feero is having a headache about what to do, but vigilance is essential. He has to keep an eye on the other side, and he also needs to report to the village.

The village probably doesn't know about this yet; it needs to be reported.

In addition, the experimental personnel at the base are valuable assets of Sunagakure and must be protected; they cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of Iwagakure.

After some deliberation, Feero made three plans.

First, report the situation to the village and inform them of Fengying's matter.

Second, maintain full alert and ensure evacuation routes; if any situation changes, evacuate completely.

Third, the experiment must be stopped, the Sunagakure personnel must be protected, and all existing data must be preserved as a part of the Sunagakure community and must not be lost.

……

Sunagakure Village, Kazekage Building.

In the conference room.

The two old advisors, Granny Chiyo and Ebizo, along with some high-ranking ninjas and several senior elders, gathered here for a meeting.

Because a message just arrived, a shocking message.

The Wind Shadow is dead, he died on the Northern Road, and this is the news sent back by the garrison in the Bird Kingdom.

The village has already dispatched a support team. Once the Kazekage's body is confirmed, he will indeed be dead. However, the current problem lies in whether Rasa is truly dead...

How to do?

What should we do?

Everyone was helpless.

How could someone just die? That's completely wrong.

"What do you think about the Kazekage's matter?" Jonin Yashamaru, who is also the Kazekage's brother-in-law, is taking this matter very seriously, not because he thinks much about his brother-in-law.

It was mainly because of his nephew.

For Yashamaru, his nephew has become the biggest problem. Temari and Kankuro are one thing, but the key issue is Gaara, the Jinchūriki.

This will be a huge problem.

With Fengying around, he's not much of a threat.

Without Fengying, we're doomed.

"The news of his death was brought back by Feiero. He was a staunch confidant of the Kazekage and had been stationed in the Bird Country, supposedly to establish a secret base there. As for the details..."

"Only the Kazekage knows the details. We only know that he has some cooperation with the Tsuchikage, but we don't know the specifics."

The elders of Sunagakure were not entirely unaware of the situation, but they knew the general outline and had no idea what exactly happened.

"The problem now is confirming the Kazekage's death. If the Kazekage is really dead, what should we do?" Yashamaru said again.

"Is there a suitable candidate for the new Wind Shadow?"

Ebizo suddenly spoke up.

His opening remarks immediately drew everyone's attention.

Because this is about choosing the new Fengying, the question is, do we really have to choose it now?

"Isn't it too fast?" an elder asked. He wasn't sure why, but it was indeed too early and shouldn't be like this.

"There shouldn't be any major problems; he's probably dead," Ebizo said slowly.

What else do we need to do?

What were we confirming again?

The situation is basically certain, so what needs to be done now? I can only say there's nothing that can be done; there's nothing that can be done.

“If he really is dead, there is no problem in choosing a new Wind Shadow, but who is suitable?” another elder asked.

If he dies, a new Fengying must be chosen, but the key question is who can take on this important task? It looks difficult, it really is difficult.

At least in terms of choices, it's quite difficult, and we're stuck here now.

“I think Ye Cang is a good candidate. If we’re talking about choosing a Kazekage, I recommend Ye Cang,” an elder suddenly said, believing that Ye Cang was the best choice for Kazekage.

"Ye Cang?"

Grandma Chiyo opened her eyes, her expression very serious.

"Indeed, Elder Advisor Chiyo, I believe the choice should be made with Pakura. No one else is quite suitable. Right now, Sunagakure is beset by internal and external troubles..."

"The matter of the Kazekage must be resolved by the Fifth Generation."

Who to choose?

Yekura, she's the most suitable.
