Chapter 330 330 Sara's Wish
"That's right, my mother only took a bracelet!"
Pakura said in shock.
As she spoke, her expression grew somewhat somber:
"It's just a shame that later, because life in Sunagakure was expensive, Mom had no money and had to sell her favorite bracelet."
"It was so long ago that even after Mom passed away, I still haven't found the bracelet she sold."
Speaking of the past, Pakura still felt great regret.
Hearing her words, the other party also sighed.
"The world is full of hardships! People everywhere have a hard life."
"Aren't we the same? Living a good life, then encountering Anrokuzan's rebellion..."
Everyone's faces darkened.
For a moment, the atmosphere turned sorrowful.
However, Pakura was not swayed by their words.
The biggest difference between the two sides at this moment was that Pakura had strength. Even if she couldn't seize fate by the throat, she could choose a glorious, earth-shattering death.
But the people before her, apart from resisting with difficulty, couldn't do anything.
In fact, even resistance was hard for them to sustain.
"Alright, alright, I'm here. Everything will be resolved!"
Pakura said: "I am a child of Roran. My return this time might be fate!"
"You're Sara, right? Queen of Roran?" Pakura looked at Sara: "Take me to see the main base of those puppets. I'll clear them out!"
"Oh, right, Sora, I never asked before, why exactly did you come to Roran?" Pakura inquired.
"For the Ryumyaku." Sora replied: "I came to see the Ryumyaku."
"Good." Pakura nodded, then looked at Sara again: "Queen of Roran, I remember queens are the inheritors of the Ryumyaku. After clearing the puppets, please take us to see the Ryumyaku!"
Pakura thought her request would be unquestionably accepted.
But hearing her words, Sara frowned again: "No!"
"As the Queen of Roran, I have the duty to protect the Ryumyaku. The last person who came into contact with the Ryumyaku directly caused Roran to become what it is now. I cannot let anyone else see the Ryumyaku again!"
Sara declared righteously.
Seeing her like this, Pakura was stunned for a moment, then laughed in anger.
"Queen Sara, I call you 'Queen' out of respect. If I didn't respect you, I could just call you a bitch directly!"
"I'm amused. As a queen, you can't turn the tide, nor can you provide your people with a relatively peaceful life. What are you putting on airs for?"
Pakura said disdainfully: "My earlier words were phrased as a request, but they were actually a notice, Queen Sara. I hope you'll use your brain a bit and compare the difference in strength between us before answering next time!"
"Not to mention anything else, with our strength, even if everyone in Roran died today, we could still achieve our goals!"
Pakura's words were merciless.
But hearing her words, Sara, though angry, had to admit she was right.
After so many years struggling to survive in Roran, Sara's mind was long since clear.
"Queen!"
Seeing Sara's ugly expression, someone behind her wanted to advise her.
But by now, Sara had already made up her mind.
Sara shook her head: "I'm fine!"
She looked seriously at the group before her: "Failing to provide a good life for my people is indeed a failure on my part as queen!"
"And now I realize that people are the most important thing. If there are no people left, what use is the Ryumyaku to Roran?"
"Pakura, you are also a child of Roran. You came for the Ryumyaku."
"In that case, let's make a deal!" Sara proposed.
"A deal?" Hearing Sara's words, Pakura raised an eyebrow, about to rebuke her again.
But this time Sara sensed Pakura's displeasure and raised a hand to stop her: "Wait, let me finish!"
Sara continued: "You could indeed see the Ryumyaku without me, but the Ryumyaku has a natural connection with the Queen of Roran!"
"Whatever you plan to do with the Ryumyaku in the future, I can assist!"
"I can assist you, but I have one request!"
"And that is, let my people live a good life!"
"To put it simply, I want to exchange the Ryumyaku for money from you!"
Sara expressed her idea.
After this speech, Pakura's view of Sara changed.
"You little girl, though you look soft and weak, you're not bad after all!"
"Alright. I, in the name of the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, accept your terms!"
"After we inspect the Ryumyaku, whether Roran's people continue to live here or are relocated to Sunagakure… either is fine. We can decide later!"
"That should resolve your concerns, right?" Pakura looked at Sara and her people.
Exchanging glances, the people had no further doubts.
"Then, let's go." Sora interjected at the appropriate moment.
In their brief discussion, there were no more uncertainties about the next steps.
Led by Sara, the group headed towards the central area!
