#153 - Chapter 153 Chaos
Rasa's strategy was very effective.
When Maki announced in front of everyone that the Cloud and Stone Villages, who had ostensibly come to negotiate, were secretly spying on the Sand Village during the festival, and even tried to kidnap the Sand Clan's young master, Kunimi, Lord Shingu's daughter, Sara, and the commoner girl, Maki, the anger in the hearts of everyone in the Sand Village was instantly ignited.
Everyone was clamoring and shouting to drive out these ninjas from the Cloud and Stone Villages.
The accumulated hatred between the five great ninja villages since their establishment was enough for the people of the Sand Village to make a choice with their eyes closed, not to mention that the Sand Village held clear evidence of the Cloud and Stone Villages sabotaging the village.
This was somewhat beyond the expectations of Dodai and Kitsuchi, especially the Sand Village's strong and dismissive attitude during the negotiations. Since the incident occurred, the Sand Village's Kazekage hadn't even given them a chance to meet.
Were the Sand Village bluffing, or were they really not afraid of the Cloud and Stone Villages' anger!
Neither side knew, but that didn't mean they did nothing.
In just one night, they reported everything that happened here to their villages. At the same time, they began to mobilize the spies planted inside the Sand Village, spreading rumors and causing panic within the Sand Village.
Thus, by the time dawn broke, the vast majority of the Sand Village knew what had happened the night before.
Although their position was also on the side of the village, their worries about the war still made them extremely anxious, especially when they learned that the village would face a siege from the Cloud, Stone, and even Leaf Villages this time.
At the break of dawn, inside the Kazekage's building.
Because of what happened last night, Rasa didn't go home to rest all night.
Yakura and Mikawa, who had received the news, originally wanted to come back as well, but under Rasa's orders, they returned to the Dragon's Oasis to train, because Rasa had already sensed the seriousness of the situation. Next, he wouldn't be able to cope with the possible bad situation with his power alone.
He had to let the two master Sage Art energy in the shortest possible time.
Just as Rasa was worried, there was a knock on the door outside.
It was Karura bringing Miru and Honoka.
Karura and Miru both had obvious worries on their faces. Although Honoka's expression was still indifferent, from her concerned eyes, one could tell that her heart was not at peace.
"Rasa-kun, I prepared breakfast for you!"
Karura gently placed the prepared lunch box on the table with her wife.
She didn't ask what happened in the village, she was just doing what a wife should do.
Rasa still had a confident smile on his face as he said.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
At this time, Miru also stepped forward and said.
"Mr. Rasa, is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing this, Rasa comforted her and said.
"It seems that you should all know what happened in the village last night, but don't worry, for now, it is still under my control."
Hearing Rasa say this, Miru finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, thinking of what Kamiya said to her last night, Miru still plucked up the courage to say.
"Mr. Rasa, although I don't like Suio, I think his suggestion makes sense, so I want to, as the priestess of the Land of Demons, request that the Sand Village and our Land of Demons form an alliance!"
As soon as these words came out, the two people in the house were shocked.
This time, Rasa didn't refuse, but thanked her very seriously.
"Thank you, Miru!"
Seeing Rasa accept her kindness, Miru also had a happy smile on her face, but soon became lost and said.
"Unfortunately, I have to leave this afternoon!"
Rasa smiled.
"It's okay, I'm already thinking of ways to solve the transportation problem. After it's solved, it will be very convenient to go from the Land of Demons to the Sand Village. At that time, you can come to me at any time, and I can go to the Land of Demons."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Karura, as a wife, looked at her husband and the priestess as if they had made an agreement, and felt a little strange in her heart. Fortunately, the priestess was as innocent as a child, so she didn't think much about it.
"I will let Shingu connect with you for the follow-up matters, but your safety must also be taken seriously. Starting this afternoon, I will let Daikoku, Sekiyu, and Rakushō protect you closely. All three of them are Jōnin of our Sand Village. With them by your side, I will feel more at ease."
"Yes!"
In the afternoon, amidst happy smiles, Miru left the Sand Village with her attendants.

In the following time, although the Sand Village on the surface regained its former peaceful state, the situation in the ninja world secretly began to surge again. This time, the Sand Village completely became the protagonist.
First of all, these things that happened in the Sand Village began to be known throughout the ninja world. Although both sides had their own opinions, as long as they were discerning people, they could see that the Stone and Cloud Villages had begun to shift their targets to the Sand Village.
The effect of this was that the war between the Stone, Cloud, and Leaf Villages completely stalled.
The Leaf Village also felt this strange atmosphere, and did not choose to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, but instead lurked down to lick its wounds while waiting for an opportunity.
After all, there were also unresolved hatreds between the Leaf Village and the Sand Village.
And then, the Stone and Cloud Villages began to put pressure on the Sand Village with great tacit understanding, demanding that the Sand Village hand over the killer who killed the ninjas from the two villages who participated in the negotiations this time.
Under Rasa's instructions, the Sand Village's response to the pressure from the two villages was also very simple, that is, to express a tough attitude while delaying as much as possible, the longer the delay, the better.
Thus, time passed day by day.
Soon, a week passed.
Dodai and Kitsuchi, who stayed in the Sand Village, were not fools either.
In several negotiations, they quickly felt that the Sand Village had no intention of handing over the murderer at all.
This made both sides feel the Sand Village's strange attitude. The Sand Village didn't seem to be afraid of starting a war with the two great ninja villages at all.
What made them feel even more despised was that.
In this week, they still hadn't seen the young Kazekage of the Sand Village.
It was as if in the heart of this Kazekage, their plan was insignificant at all, which gave them a feeling of being unable to exert their strength, and even a sense of being despised.
Fortunately, at this time, good news came...
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind sent someone to the Sand Village...
