Looking at Ebizo who spoke out against him, Gaara was startled, but he was not angry. He believed that the other party would definitely give a reason. As the most wise man in Sunagakure Village, Ebizo was definitely not a messy person.
As expected, Ebizo quickly gave a reason, a reminder that somewhat surprised Gaara: "Kazekage, first of all, I have to make it clear that Shiro is not a child like you. Her goal is very clear. She sees
Up……"
"It's not the preferential treatment and protection of our Sunagakure Village, nor the inexplicable sense of identity, but the power of the village, and further, her personal influence on the Kingdom of Wind as a whole."
What Ebizo said was too profound, and Gaara obviously couldn't understand it. Chiyo interjected expressionlessly: "My teacher once taught me that in life, one lives for fame, profit, power, or
For fun…”
"Kazekage, do you think a ninja like Shiro, who can instantly subdue Maki and masters the top medical ninjutsu in the ninja world, would care about Kirigakure's wanted status? Would he care about our Sunagakure's wealth and power?"
A bunch of questions in succession confused Gaara instantly. The young Kazekage shook his body at a loss, and suddenly felt a little hiccup in the seat. In front of Ebizo and Chiyo, he might really be an innocent and naive child.
Damn boy.
At least, he didn't think of any of those questions just now.
"Why...why?"
Chiyo seemed too lazy to answer and simply closed her eyes to rest. Ebizo immediately responded: "Do you still remember the request Shiro asked you? She didn't say anything specific, she just wanted to be respected."
"Fengying, in your opinion, what is respect?"
The so-called respect, broken down into words, means respect and respect, but this is very vague and cannot be quantified. As a condition for cooperation, it is obvious that it needs to be carefully considered, considering the pile of questions Chiyo just said...
Gaara thought deeply for a while, and vaguely had some ideas. Since he was not sure, he looked at Chiyo to the left and Ebizo to the right with inquiring eyes, and said cautiously:
"Is the respect that Bai wants essentially for fame and fortune?"
"Well, that should be the case, but what Shiro wants is not a bad reputation like us ninjas..." Chiyo opened her eyes, glanced at Gaara lightly, and said in a determined tone:
"Before today, Bai was an unknown person. Considering her strength, this is very abnormal. So what she wants is a good reputation, a reputation as a Holy Mother who benefits the world."
"In my opinion, this is vanity."
Chiyo's analysis opened Gaara's eyes, and also amazed the elders present. They thought that there were such ninjas, but before everyone could think about it for too long, Ebizo added with a solemn expression:
"The first time Bai appeared was at the Loulan ruins. Based on her behavioral motives so far, I judge that her cooperation with our Sunagakure probably has no special meaning and just depends on the principle of proximity."
"That is to say, it cannot be ruled out... that after completing her goal, she left our Sunagakure, went to the Land of Fire, and then went to Konoha or other ninja villages to cooperate. My intuition tells me that this possibility actually exists, and the probability is not small.
.”
"A person who desires fame, does not seek wealth and power, is extremely powerful, is good at communication, has no stance, and possesses the best medical ninjutsu in the ninja world. Such a person, no matter which country he goes to, is destined to be a guest of the local ninja village."
Maybe she felt that Hainan Zang's conclusion was too outrageous, and an elder couldn't help but said: "She has taken refuge in our Sunagakure, and then hooked up with other ninja villages, isn't she afraid of our counterattack?"
Two more elders echoed: "Yes, how dare she?"
"If we leak her information, it will be enough for her!"
As if he heard some joke, Chiyo sneered: "Why do you think that a traitorous ninja who was able to capture and kill Murakami openly took the hostage to the territory of another great ninja village and met with Kage to discuss cooperation...
…”
"Are you afraid of such little tricks?"
Ma Ji was silent for a while, then quietly added: "Bai never hid his ability information from the beginning to the end. Even after he came to the village, he let me go so casually. This kind of behavior..."
"Either you are stupid, or... you just have enough confidence."
After hearing the reminders from Chiyo Maki and Gaara, Gaara suddenly realized how arrogant and arrogant Shiro's behavior was. Although she always seemed very sincere and polite, her behavior really conveyed a
information:
She clearly didn't take Sunagakure Village seriously.
"She is not worried at all about the leakage of her intelligence. Throughout the history of the ninja world, there are only a few such ninjas. It can be imagined that she is very strong." Ebizo shook his head slowly and said to Gaara in a persuasive tone:
"Fengying, regarding Bai, my sister and I have the same strategy, which is not to antagonize her, but not to please her either. While maintaining a certain distance, give her what she wants - respect."
Gaara said hesitantly: "Then... what should I do?"
"In ancient times, there were often non-residents who served as officials of their own country and held prestigious roles. Such people usually had a title, that is, guest ministers." Chiyo narrowed his eyes, slightly sped up his speech, and said seriously:
"Given Bai's strength, value, and her own special needs, giving her such a virtual position will not only maintain the friendship between the village and her, but will not have any negative impact on the village."
"Are you your guest..."
Gaara mused thoughtfully and murmured to himself. As a boy who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he is very unfamiliar with this title and doesn't quite understand its meaning, but in short...
Since the two elders unanimously agree, let’s do this.
Nanamizou and Chiyo rarely appear in high-level meetings, but whenever they appear, they have a very high say. This is not only due to their seniority, but more importantly, their decision-making rarely makes mistakes.
.
Gaara's choice was to trust the two seniors.
But just before the meeting ended and everyone was about to leave, the confusion that surged in his heart finally made Gaara raise a question to Chiyo: "Elder Chiyo, is Haku's pursuit really so vulgar?"
"Why do I feel that she really wants to do something for the general public?"
Chiyo had already left her chair. After hearing this, she couldn't help but turn around. Looking at the puzzled Kazekage, she sighed helplessly and explained softly: "If Shiro is really a pure holy mother, then there is no need for her to come here."
here."
"Wouldn't it be great to just find a town and use medical ninjutsu to treat illnesses and save people? With her strength, who can cause trouble? Who dares to cause trouble? Why would she go out of her way to seek cooperation with us?"
"Cooperation, cooperation, so-called cooperation, is naturally a social activity that can benefit both parties. Bai's performance proves that she also has her own interests, but that demand is different from that of ordinary ninjas."
After saying that, Chiyo softened his expression a little, and left the meeting room with one last sentence, leaving Gaara to think deeply: "When looking at a person's purpose, don't be obsessed with appearances, but also think about the underlying reasons."
