He wears a white Kazekage robe with a blue ninja uniform underneath. His hairstyle is similar to Namikaze Minato, with an afro.
Sitting opposite were two short old men.
Chiyo and Ebizo.
After a while, an ANBU wearing a ghost mask appeared in front of the three people. After bowing, they handed over the scroll.
The Third Kazekage waved his hand and the ANBU left.
He opened the scroll.
"The news is true, Haruki, the Twin Jewels of Konoha, is coming with the team."
"What is he here for?"
Doubt appeared on Chiyo's wrinkled face. During the last war, she was quite impressed by the medical couple Tsunade and Haruki. The two of them joined forces, making her poison almost useless.
Compared with combat ninjas, medical ninjas are a very rare and valuable type of ninja.
If there were medical ninjas like Haruki in Sunagakure Village, he would never be allowed to go to the enemy village.
Even if it has been reconciled.
Because once lost, it is not replicable if you want to cultivate it again.
Who knows how much Sunagakure Village hopes to have a medical ninja like Tsunade and Haruki.
In the original work, the medical ninjas of Sunagakure Village are not even comparable to Haruno Sakura after becoming a disciple, let alone Tsunade.
"According to what is said above, he came here with two civilian businessmen from the Hyuuga family to discuss business with our Sunagakure Village."
After the Third Kazekage finished speaking, he knocked on the scroll and shook his head.
He doesn't believe it.
Chiyo and Ebizo didn't believe it either.
"If it is really about business, there is no need for him to come in person. With his rarity, there is no need to be implicated." Chiyo analyzed with a heavy face.
Sunagakure Village had just suffered heavy losses. If Hiruzen Sarutobi had any conspiracy at this time to be carried out by Haruki, it would be difficult for them to bear any further price.
"Did they act strange on the road?"
Ebizo opened his eyes, and as he spoke, his long white eyebrows moved like beards.
"There is one thing."
The Third Kazekage's eyes rested on a few lines of words on the scroll, and he said with some confusion, "They used food to relieve many civilians on the border of the Kingdom of Wind. It is initially estimated that there are nearly a thousand people."
Chiyo frowned immediately, she didn't believe that Haruki had such a kind heart.
They are ninjas, not philanthropists. They are destined to be cruel and ruthless, and they will never give away such a large amount of food for free out of compassion.
"Lord Kazekage, send ANBU to investigate what they said when they distributed the food, and to check whether there is anything fishy about the food."
"That's what I meant." The Third Kazekage nodded. He and Chiyo had the same idea.
"No matter what his purpose is, since he has come to our Sand Hidden Village, he cannot make the decision." Ebizo snorted coldly, "If he dares to cause trouble, he will give us a legitimate reason and we will detain him directly when the time comes."
"If it is not necessary, there is no need to touch him." The Third Kazekage sighed, "The situation is not in our favor. Sunagakure Village is really too poor and cannot withstand the trouble in a short time."
Ebizo moved his lips, but said nothing more and fell silent.
Among the five major villages, Sunagakure Village has the worst geographical environment, and its development is naturally the worst. In terms of economics, it may not be even half as good as the rich Konoha Village.
No matter how powerful Kazekage-sama is, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
"I have fought against Haruki many times and we are considered old acquaintances, so I will find out his background first." Chiyo said.
"In that case, wait for them to arrive and ask them to rest for a night before seeing you again." The Third Kazekage agreed with Chiyo's suggestion. He thought for a moment and said, "The standard of the entertainment cannot be too low, so let Luo Sa go on my behalf.
"
…
Although Qingshu prepared a large amount of food, there were so many helpless civilians that it could only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
As a result, everyone was not in a good mood during the second half of the journey.
However, the passage of time is not affected by human will.
The long journey has finally come to an end.
Sand Hidden Village.
Even on a sunny day, you can clearly feel the yellow sand in the air, which rubs against your skin and brings an uncomfortable experience.
A group of people even put on sand masks early.
Haruki looked at Sand Hidden Village, and the wind and sand seemed to cover the yellow buildings with a layer of silk.
Due to the lack of wood and stone, the houses are made of yellow sand, which is uniform and monotonous, but has a desert style.
Qingshu couldn't help but think of the area formerly known as the Western Regions where flower growers lived in their previous lives.
Similar to Sand Hidden Village.
But with the efforts of generations of people, poverty is no longer possible.
Exotic beauties, singing and dancing, grape wine, Populus euphratica and camels.
Haruki withdrew his gaze and looked at the group of ninjas approaching.
The leader was his old acquaintance, Chiyo.
Next to her was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with short brown hair and a black ninja uniform.
The apprentice of the Third Kazekage, the future Fourth Kazekage, Gaara's father, Rasa.
Qingshu had seen him on the battlefield before, but this was not the first time they met.
But today is different from the past.
They are not enemies, but allies in the sense of the word.
"Welcome."
Luo Sha greeted him very calmly. He bowed slightly and said, "Teacher is temporarily unable to come due to business, so I will greet him on his behalf. Senior Qingshu and all of you have had a hard time traveling and traveling, so we will rest for the night and meet with the teacher tomorrow. Please come with me,
The room is ready."
Chiyo said nothing.
The team of ninjas behind her were also silent.
But Qingshu could sense the hatred in their eyes.
If he guessed correctly, this should be the fighting force of Sunagakure Village.
They and another puppet unit are the aces among the Sand Ninjas, the most difficult and strongest unit.
Qingshu saw their fighting power with his own eyes.
It is precisely because of this that their hatred is the deepest, because these two troops have always been the focus of Konoha Village, and countless ninjas have sacrificed their lives.
Haruki glanced at Minato and the others.
Except for Tsunade, this was the first time for the others to go deep into Sunagakure Village.
The different buildings and customs made them curious and kept looking around.
"Sorry to trouble you, Luo Sha."
Haruki nodded softly and did not refuse. As for the Third Kazekage, he probably guessed what he was thinking.
But he came with sincerity.
Although there are only six people in Haruki's group, Sunagakure Village generously rented a hotel specifically for them.
"The food will be served shortly."
Luo Sha waved his hand, and the ninja immediately left, "I won't disturb you either."
After he left, Qingshu nodded and said: "Everyone, please sit down. Come here once in a while and try the delicious food of Sunagakure Village."
The magatama in Uchiha Mikoto's eyes slowly rotated, and she said: "Teacher, there are many people watching outside."
"This is normal. They definitely don't trust us." Qingshu didn't care. It was really strange that no one was there.
The food was served quickly.
A full table, complete with wine and meat, all in all, very sumptuous.
Haruki picked up the chopsticks and directly held Namikaze Minato's wrist.
"?"
"poisonous."
Haruki and Tsunade looked at each other and said softly, "I have never seen this kind of poison, but the method is familiar."
