I promote boxing in the world of Konoha

The land of wind, Sunagakure.

In Kazekage's office, Fourth Kazekage Rasa was looking at a letter in his hand. After a moment, he threw it out into the hand of someone at the desk.

"Baki, look."

"yes."

After the preliminaries, there was a month of recovery time, and Baki also took advantage of this time to return to Sand Shinobi.

He looked at the letter, it was written by the Third Hokage, and after just a few glances, he felt frightened.

In the letter, Third Generation has clearly stated that Jinchūriki, who knew about Sand Shinobi, appeared in Konoha, and also stated the discovery of Orochimaru. He also vaguely pointed out the secret of the cooperation between Sand Shinobi and Orochimaru, which is equivalent to completely seeing through their plan...

At the end of the letter, Third Generation also wrote: "I hope Fourth Kazekage can tell me that all this is a misunderstanding. I think we all don't want a war to happen because of a misunderstanding."

After reading this, Baki felt sweat beading on his forehead.

"Unexpectedly, the Hokage has already understood our plan, and even knows that we have joined forces with Orochimaru."

"snort."

Feng Ying's face was as gloomy as water under his bamboo hat.

"It's all Gaara's good-for-nothing fault."

"Kazekage-sama... Gaara cannot be entirely blamed for this incident." Baki rarely said a word for his disciple at this time, "It's true that something went wrong with him, but there was also something wrong with Orochimaru."

Feng Ying was silent, as if he was thinking about how to reply to the letter.

Baki said tentatively: "Master Kazekage, our plan has been exposed. Konoha will definitely be on military alert. If we go for a sneak attack again, I am afraid it will not have any effect. Instead, it is very likely that we will step into Konoha to ambush Good trap!”

"I also know this..."

Kazekage's tone was a bit unwilling, Baki could hear it.

Due to the confused daimyo and the suppression of Konoha's strength in recent years, Sand Shinobi's funds and mission commission income are getting less and less. If this continues, the village's strength will only become weaker and weaker... When it reaches a critical point, maybe it will It caused covetousness and attacks from other villages.

This time, I finally had a chance, and with that guy Orochimaru as a helping hand, I could hope to severely damage Konoha and let Sand Shinobi rise again, but the result was...

Kazekage picked up his pen and said, "I'll write a reply to Hokage right now and tell him that these are all misunderstandings... hum."

Baki nodded when he heard this: "What about the Kazekage, where is Orochimaru?"

"Don't tell him yet." Feng Ying's eyes flickered, "My letter is just a delaying tactic to make that old man from Third Generation relax his vigilance."

Baki was shocked: "Have you not given up on your plan, Kazekage-sama?"

"Baki, on the eve of the official exam, I will take a few elite ninjas to Konoha to watch the competition. By then, if Orochimaru can have a good effect, I will take action. If he fails, then I will really put everything aside. Treat it as a 'misunderstanding'."

As soon as these words came out, Baki understood what Feng Ying meant.

Just four words: wait for the opportunity.

But……

Baki hesitated for a moment: "Master Kazekage, are you sure what Orochimaru can do on his own? Although he founded the sound ninja, it was just a Caotai village. I am afraid there are not even a few Jōnin... and he Although he is one of the Sannin, there are many masters in Konoha Village. He..."

"Haha." Feng Ying suddenly laughed and interrupted Baki.

"Let me ask you Baki, why do you think I chose to work with Orochimaru in the first place?"

"I don't know."

"Because... he has mastered a very evil technique." Kazekage recalled the technique Orochimaru showed him and felt his scalp numb.

"That technique... is very evil, but also very powerful. If I had not seen that technique, I would not cooperate with him at all."

A technique?

Baki was not sure about this. He was not present at the secret meeting between Kazekage and Orochimaru, and he did not know what technique Orochimaru showed.

But since Kazekage said so, it must be a very powerful technique. So powerful that the Kazekage is willing to take risks and block the future of Sand Shinobi to execute this plan.

"I see."

Baki nodded, and after a while Kazekage finished writing the reply and handed it to him.

"Let someone send it to Konoha."

"yes."

Baki took the letter and left. On the way, he met Temari and Kankuro.

The two of them were probably waiting for him, so he walked over and asked, "What's wrong with you two?"

"Teacher..." Kankuro asked, "Is the plan aborted?"

"If it doesn't stop, nothing will happen to you."

Kankuro's face changed slightly, but Temari on the side said loudly: "We are also ninjas from Sand Shinobi, how can it be nothing to do with us! Teacher, if there is a war with Konoha, we will also go to the battlefield!"

Baki looked at the two of them: "Going to the battlefield? You guys? Forgot to be scared to death by that kid named Neji?"

"..."

Kankuro and Temari were speechless at the same time, looking embarrassed.

After returning to Sand Shinobi, every time they thought about this incident, they felt ashamed and thought that if they had to do it over again, they would definitely have the courage to do it again!

but……

"But you did the right thing." Baki said suddenly.

"Why?"

"teacher……"

The two of them originally thought that the teacher was going to reprimand them, but it turned out not to be the case.

Baki said solemnly: "You did the right thing, because if you had done anything at that time, you would have become two cold corpses by now."

"..."

"Living is more important than anything else. If you feel embarrassed, just train hard and improve yourself instead of making any lofty words here!"

After hearing this, the two people suddenly felt ashamed and said in unison: "Yes!"

"Yeah. By the way, how is Gaara? Are you still locking yourself in the room and not coming out?"

"He..." Kankuro shook his head, "He has been silent since he came back and ignored no one. He seems to be stimulated by something."

"Humph, there are people who are better than others. If he can't bear this setback, he is destined to be a loser!" After Baki finished speaking, he turned and left.

The two looked at each other in shock, no longer thinking about it, and took the time to go to the training ground to train. They made up their minds that when they meet Neji next time, they must get back all the shame they lost last time!

…

Konoha, a hidden place.

Kabuto and Orochimaru met here, both of them disguised.

"Lord Orochimaru," Kabutei reported. "According to my secret investigation, Konoha's troops have been mobilized frequently during this period, and the Jōnin have also been preparing for war. I'm afraid the plan has been exposed."

"Um."

"Then...should we stop?"

"Abort?" Orochimaru smiled, "Why abort?"

"this……"

"Kabuto, did you know that when a python eats its prey, if it feels threatened, it will spit it out and run away. Do you think now is the time to run away?"

"...But the enemy has already noticed it and is prepared."

"Preparation is never enough." Orochimaru said calmly, "I have already said that if Konoha dares to suspend the high school entrance examination, then I will give you a surprise."

"surprise?"

"You can't guess it, and Konoha can't guess it either, so they don't dare to stop the exam."

"……I see."

"The fear of the unknown is always more powerful."

Kabuto was silent for a moment, and then said: "Orochimaru-sama, you are determined, but Sand Shinobi can't say that. I think they are likely to give up the plan. Without Sand Shinobi's power, we alone cannot achieve it." The collapse of Konoha is the result."

Orochimaru smiled again: "Sand Shinobi will not give up."

"...Why are you so sure?"

"Because the 'Kazekage' won't allow it."
