"You are all the backbone of the village who remain at this time. What do you think?"

Chiyo's old and hoarse voice was not very loud and was easily drowned out by the increasingly loud conversations of the crowd.

However, as soon as she said this, the noise in the office, which had been getting louder and louder, disappeared instantly!

This shows Chiyo's prestige in the Sand Village!

After a brief silence, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties spoke cautiously:

"Master Chiyo, the Third Kazekage is missing. I think we should immediately mobilize all the forces in the village and conduct a thorough search of the entire village from inside to outside."

This is the most normal and logical answer, and it is also what the vast majority of the jonin present think.

After all, the Kazekage, the head of the village and the core of the entire Hidden Wind Village, is missing. This is a very serious matter.

Chiyo nodded slightly and turned to look at Li Fan.

"Li Fan, what do you think?"

Ever since Chiyo mentioned that the Kazekage was missing, she has been observing everyone's performance.

And she found that among all the people present, only Li Fan's performance was most commendable.

He didn't seem panicked at all, instead he looked like he had expected it.

That's why Chiyo asked Li Fan first.

Li Fan had already organized his words. He raised his head slightly, looked directly at Chiyo, and said in a deep voice:

"Master Chiyo, I think this is not possible!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Li Fan.

Li Fan turned a deaf ear to these looks and continued in a deep voice:

"Master Chiyo, you know my master's character. He would never leave the village with his left and right guards without anyone knowing!"

"If we rule out the possibility that my master left without permission, there is only one possibility."

"That means the master may have been killed, and most likely in the village!"

When Chiyo heard this, her half-closed eyes suddenly opened and stared straight at Li Fan.

It seemed like this was the first time she recognized Li Fan!

Before Chiyo could speak, the middle-aged strong man who spoke first immediately stood up abruptly.

The dissatisfaction was visible on his face full of flesh, and he stared at Li Fan fiercely:

"Li Fan, watch your words! The Third Kazekage is the strongest Kazekage in the history of Sand Village. How could he be killed, and in the village at that!"

"What Aoki Jonin said is right. How could such a powerful Third-Hami be killed, and killed silently in the village?!"

"That's right! And the Sandaime-sama has two jonin following him closely at all times."

"Who in the current ninja world has the ability to kill the Third Hokage and two personal ninjas without attracting the attention of the village ninjas?"

"Yes, if we want to kill the Third-sama and his personal guards without attracting everyone's attention in the village, we have to do it within a minute or even less than half a minute. Do you think it's possible?"

As the burly man stood up, the second and third jonin stood up, stared at Li Fan, and refuted Li Fan viciously.

Although the other jonin who did not stand up did not say anything, they all stared at Li Fan with unfriendly eyes.

The Third Kazekage is the pride of the Sand Village.

The Sand Ninja, who has always been inferior to others, can hold his head up in front of other ninjas from the big ninja villages because of the existence of this Kazekage.

Li Fan's words aroused public anger.

Although being stared at fiercely by a dozen battle-hardened jonin, Li Fan's expression did not change at all.

He just continued to look directly at Chiyo and said calmly:

"Master Chiyo, you are an old senior who has experienced the First and Second Ninja World Wars. I wonder if my master can be ranked in the top five among the five great ninja villages?"

After Li Fan said this, Chiyo did not speak, but remained silent.

At the same time, a hint of sadness appeared on her calm face.

As one of the living fossils of the ninja world, the Chiyo siblings have witnessed the changes in the ninja world over the past few decades.

How could they not know the possibilities behind the sudden and inexplicable disappearance of the Third Kazekage?

However, Chiyo didn't dare to admit it in her heart.

The Hidden Mining Village had always been inferior for various reasons, and arrogant because of their inferiority complex.

Now, thanks to the existence of the Third Kazekage, the mentality of the ninjas has begun to improve a little.

But now you are telling people that your strongest Kazekage was killed around the village, and most likely in the village.

But they were completely unaware of it and only realized it after a whole day of disappearance.

Wouldn't their Sand Village become a joke then?

Moreover, this is a serious blow to the Sand Village. The villagers and ninjas will definitely become more inferior and fearful because of this incident.

There might even be more rebellions.

But Li Fan's merciless words directly shattered the self-deceiving thoughts of Chiyo and her brother. It was cruel, but also realistic.

When the several senior ninjas who stood up around heard Li Fan's words, they looked at each other in confusion.

Then they sat down one after another helplessly.

Although Chiyo didn't say anything, everyone present knew the answer.

Because the Sand Village is located in the desert and has scarce resources, coupled with various other reasons, its high-end combat power has always been half a head weaker than the other four major ninja villages.

The so-called strongest Wind Shadow is only the strongest Wind Shadow of the Sand Village. If he were placed in other ninja villages, haha.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly fell into depression.

The author says:

Author's note: There will be a small number of original characters, because there are too few famous people in the Sand Village during this period.

Chapter 3 Successfully Changed the Plot

The senior ninjas present had actually thought about what Li Fan said to some extent.

But no matter how much they thought about it, their emotions did not allow them to admit this fact.

The first strong man who spoke was Aoki Jonin. He finally couldn't help but break the oppressive atmosphere and said in a hoarse voice:

"Even so... we should mobilize the whole village to search for the remains of the Third Master. No matter how powerful the murderer is, it is impossible that he would leave no trace at all!"

Li Fan took a look at the Aoki Jonin and learned from Luo Sha's memory.

This guy, Aoki Jonin, is a typical puppeteer with strong limbs but a simple mind.

But it is also because he has well-developed limbs and relatively good close combat ability, coupled with his superb puppet control skills.

In today's Sand Village, his strength ranks among the top ones.

This can be seen from the fact that he is clearly a puppeteer, but there are no facial lines on his face.

Only recognized powerful puppeteers do not need things like facial tattoos to prove their identity.

Because they are proof in themselves.

Li Fan shook his head:

"We can certainly mobilize the whole village to search for it, but let's not talk about whether we can find it or not."

"Just considering our high-profile move of mobilizing the entire village, wouldn't other ninja villages know about it?"

"It has been ten years since the Second Ninja World War. You are all the backbone of the village. I believe you are all very clear about the current strength comparison between other ninja villages and our Sand Village."

When Aoki Jonin heard what Li Fan said, he suddenly let out a long sigh.

His rough face was full of unwillingness, and there were vaguely other complex emotions.

After a quick thought, everyone present understood what Li Fan meant.

The Sand Village has not yet recovered from the Second Ninja World War.

The other major ninja villages have almost recovered.

Konoha and Cloud Ninja, in particular, have recovered to their pre-war peak.

We are all no longer children, so we naturally understand.

Once other ninja villages become aware of their own village's actions, they will quickly figure out that their own Kazekage may have met with an accident.

It's understandable that they would take advantage of the situation to rob.

This has nothing to do with morality, nor with the good or bad relations between villages; it only has to do with interests.

What's more, the relationship between the Sand Village and other major ninja villages is not very good.

Chiyo was silent for a long time. Her sagging face moved slightly, and her withered lips opened and closed slightly. However, her voice was no longer as calm as before, but instead carried a hint of grief and indignation:

"In this case, Li Fan, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

As soon as Chiyo said this, the surrounding jonin all opened their eyes wide at the same time and then looked at each other.

They naturally knew what Chiyo's words meant.

However, after looking at each other for a few seconds, they did not object, but looked at Li Fan again at the same time.

The difference from before was that this time their eyes no longer contained anger, but instead contained a hint of expectation.

Ye Cang also opened his eyes, and his emerald red eyes looked expectantly at the young man next to him who was standing straight and exuding a calm aura.

Li Fan's well-reasoned and calm words constantly broke Ye Cang's impression of Li Fan.

She never expected that this was the friend in her impression who was always taciturn and only knew how to practice.

He was so calm, so far-sighted, and not afraid of offending the jonin present at all.

This made Ye Cang feel strange.

She suddenly felt that her heartbeat would involuntarily speed up when she sat next to Li Fan.

Ye Cang felt his rapidly beating heart and the strange emotions emerging in his heart.

That strange feeling went from weak to strong in just a dozen seconds, almost filling her mind.

At this moment, Ye Cang just felt confused and had no idea what was going on.

Ye Cang, who had never been in love and didn't even have many entertainment activities, naturally didn't understand that this strange feeling was called love.

Li Fanke had no idea of the changes in Ye Cang's heart who was sitting next to him, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that he had almost convinced them.

Li Fan had the memory of reading the original novel in his previous life, so he naturally knew it clearly.

The decision made by the Sand Village in the original work was to mobilize the entire village and search like crazy for any signs of the Third Kazekage.

If no trace is found in the village, then the search will be expanded to the entire Wind Kingdom, and eventually even to other countries.

The consequences of doing this.

It was just a few days later that the Hidden Cloud Village soon discovered that the Third Kazekage was missing, and they launched a massive attack.

Ultimately, this incident became the fuse for the Third Ninja World War.

The Sand Village, which had not yet recovered from the Second Ninja World War, suffered heavy damage once again.

In the later period, the Sand Village was even forced to fight several large ninja villages at the same time and was on the verge of extinction.

This also led to the Fourth Kazekage Rasa in the original work deciding to use Yekura, the hero who shone brightly on the Mist Village front, as a scapegoat to appease the anger of the Mist Village.

He tricked her into going to the Hidden Mist Village alone to sign a so-called peace treaty.

Ye Cang, who was loyal to the Sand Village and not very sensitive to politics, did not know this until the moment of her death.

The condition that the Hidden Mist Village is willing to negotiate is their own death.

Even if the Sand Village took such action, it was too late.

Even when Prince Naruto took part in the first Chunin Exam more than ten years later, the Sand Village had not recovered.
