Chapter 801: Explode on Sight!
Two individuals exited the Sunagakure Council Room while deep in thought. As they walked, one of them sighed and muttered, "To approach the Wind Daimyo at this time. Sigh, will it work? It's no secret that the Daimyo doesn't like Sunagakure and prefers good relations with Konoha instead."
The lady next to him replied, "He may prefer Konoha, but he is the Daimyo of the Land of Wind. He wouldn't like to see his country being invaded by Konoha. He'll be even more desperate than us for peace. So, we don't need to worry about whose side he'll be on, Yura.
Of course, that isn't entirely good news as he may try to force us to accept some unfavorable terms. However, anything is better than an all-out war against Konoha at this point."
Yura replied, "That is exactly what I'm worried about, Arisa. Our economy is already in bad shape due to his preferences. It'll be even worse if more restrictions are imposed upon us.
Anyway, I suppose the council already considered these aspects before making the decision. We can only hope that we apply enough pressure on Konoha to stop them from making another audacious move. We need to prepare for the negotiations."
Arisa nodded. She and Yura were the two new members of the Sunagakure Council. Tenma Arima was from a civilian background but had considerable influence due to being a Strategist and an Elite Jounin. Yura had a significant influence among the Sunagakure ninjas too. Unfortunately for Sunagakure, he was Sasori's spy.
Within minutes of the end of the Sunagakure Council Meeting, two squads left their village and traveled at high speed. One squad was headed to Iwagakure, while the other was headed to Kumogakure.
At the same time, a news spread throughout Sunagakure which brought relief to most of their ninjas.
"Thank god! I was so worried!"
