Chapter 315 Luo Sha is an honest man

Before arriving at the mine, Elder Chiyo and the Sand Ninja imagined the scene of meeting the Fourth Kazekage.

Although the Fourth Kazekage was autocratic in the village, his attitude towards the village was impeccable. Not only had he never used his power as Kazekage for personal gain, he even used magnetic mining to fill the funding gap of the Sand Village.

Such a good Kazekage is rare in the entire ninja world.

Therefore, as long as the Fourth Kazekage did not take any actions that overly threatened the village, the Chiyo elders and the senior ninjas would turn a blind eye to the Fourth Kazekage's dictatorship, and even condone his actions to eliminate his political enemy Yekura.

But when they arrived at the mine, they saw a scene that was unbelievable to them.

When the village was in crisis, Rasa, the Kazekage, was having a secret meeting with a ninja from another village. This ninja was the former enemy of the Sand Village, Orochimaru, who was known as the Cold Lord.

In the last Ninja World War, it was Orochimaru who led his troops to defeat the Sand Village and forced it to surrender.

Now seeing the scene of Rasa and Orochimaru chatting and laughing, they began to doubt the war that happened several years ago. They wondered whether the relationship between Rasa and Orochimaru was as good as before.

If their guess is correct, then what does the war between Konoha and the Sand Village matter?
Under the gaze of the Sand Ninjas, the Fourth Kazekage's face suddenly became embarrassed. He quickly shook off Orochimaru's hand and stared at Orochimaru with sharp eyes, trying to get away with it.

At the same time, he was secretly wondering, didn't he come here quietly to meet Orochimaru this time?
Why did Elder Chiyo come to visit him? Could it be that there was a traitor among his men, and he had to conduct a thorough cleansing of the Anbu after returning.

Orochimaru glanced at Elder Chiyo and the others, and said with a half-smile: "Mr. Kazekage, it seems that you don't manage your subordinates strictly. If this is the case, I will consider our cooperation carefully..."

"you shut up!"

The Fourth Kazekage said with a grim expression that he was already considering taking action against Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is different from other high-ranking officials from other villages. Not only does he have the blood of many Sand Ninjas on his hands, he is also a fugitive rebel ninja from the ally Konoha, and his identity is extremely sensitive.

Orochimaru saw what the Fourth Kazekage was thinking and silently distanced himself from him.

Having completed the mission, he had no intention of staying here for too long. He used the Great Snake Style Substitute and fled deep into the mine.

Orochimaru's departure made the Fourth Kazekage, who remained behind, even more embarrassed.

He gritted his teeth, walked up to Elder Chiyo and the others, and asked, "Elder Chiyo, why did you suddenly come to the mine? Did something happen in the village?"

Elder Chiyo stared at the Fourth Kazekage and sneered, "If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have seen the meeting between Lord Kazekage and Orochimaru. I wonder what important matter the two of you were discussing just now?"

The Fourth Kazekage heard the question in his tone and explained truthfully:

"Orochimaru is the buyer of the ore. I brought him here to see the quality of the ore. Apart from that, he also wanted to interfere in the war between Iwagakure and Konoha."

"Although Konoha is our ally, it places too many restrictions on us. We must strive for an agreement that is more beneficial to the village and gradually get rid of Konoha's influence."

After speaking his true feelings, the Fourth Kazekage looked towards Elder Chiyo.

Elder Chiyo was the elder who supported him to the position of Kazekage. After hearing his explanation, he should be able to understand him. After all, his starting point was always for the Sand Village.

After listening to the Fourth Kazekage's explanation, Elder Chiyo asked, "I believe you, but when did you start working with Orochimaru?"

The Fourth Kazekage didn't hear the hidden meaning and said honestly:

"We have communicated before, but this is the first time we have formally cooperated. Orochimaru is still a traitor after all, and it would be difficult for Konoha to know about it." "It turns out this is not the first time..."

Elder Chiyo nodded, and the expressions of the surrounding Sand Villagers also became strange. The image of the Fourth Kazekage had undergone a subversive change in their eyes.

It turned out that while they were fighting for their lives on the battlefield, Rasa, the Kazekage, was secretly flirting with Orochimaru. No wonder the war between the village and Konoha ended so quickly.

No wonder the village signed a series of treaties that seemed so harsh.

It turns out that all this was just a deal between the Fourth Kazekage and Orochimaru. As for why the Fourth Kazekage agreed to these conditions?

It must be to secure his position as the Fourth Kazekage and become the only king of the Sand Village.

At this moment, the Sand Ninjas suddenly remembered the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, as well as their previous discussion on the Kazekage puppet and the Red Sand Scorpion, and their faces gradually became gloomy.

They really want to know why Red Sand Scorpion has not returned to the Sand Village in all these years.

If the ninja who attacked Sasori and the Third Kazekage was Rasa, everything would make sense.

Rasa is a ninja who is proficient in magnetic escape and is fully capable of assassinating the Third Kazekage. After Rasa killed the Third Kazekage, the dying Third Kazekage met Scorpion of the Red Sand.

Scorpion knew that Rasa was the murderer back then, but because of his lack of strength, he had been hiding in the ninja world for all these years and dared not return to the village.

Now that he has made the Third Kazekage into a puppet and has the strength to compete with Luosha, Scorpion dares to return to his homeland and secretly look for an opportunity to overthrow Luosha...

After having these speculations, the Sand Ninjas began to suspect the Fourth Kazekage even though there was insufficient evidence.

After all, the Fourth Kazekage had just admitted in person that he had reached a cooperation with Orochimaru, and their ears and eyes would not deceive him at the same time.

At this time, the Fourth Kazekage finally realized that something was wrong and frowned and said, "What do you guys have on your faces? Do you suspect that I have colluded with Orochimaru before? And betrayed the interests of the village?"

"I'm the Kazekage of Sunagakure. How could I possibly betray the village?"

The Sand Ninjas looked at each other. They did not openly refute the Fourth Kazekage, but they did not dispel their doubts about him either.

The Fourth Kazekage had never seen his men show such expressions before, and he didn't know what had happened to them. His face became increasingly ugly, and he directly questioned Elder Chiyo:

"Elder Chiyo, what happened in the village that warranted such a big fuss?"

"Did the village encounter an attack from Konoha while I was away?"

"That's not the case..."

Elder Chiyo shook his head, then said, "But just now, Gaara was assassinated and ran wild in the village. The identity of the attacker is very special, it's Yashamaru."

"According to Yashamaru's confession, the assassination of Gaara was ordered by you."

"Luo Sha, do you know that your actions almost caused a Shukaku Rebellion to break out in the village?"
