The senior ninjas present had actually thought about what Rasa 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. 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!"
Rasa took a look at Aoki and learned from his memory.
This guy, Aoki, 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.
Rasa 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 heard what Rasa 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 Rasa 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 Village, in particular, have recovered to their pre-war peak.
They are all no longer children, so they 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, Rasa, 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 Rasa 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.
Pakura also opened her eyes, and her emerald-red eyes looked expectantly at the young man next to her who was standing straight and exuding a calm aura.
Rasa's well-reasoned and calm words constantly broke Pakura's impression of him.
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 Pakura feel strange.
She suddenly felt that her heartbeat would involuntarily speed up when she sat next to Rasa.
Pakura felt her rapidly beating heart and the strange emotions emerging in her heart.
That strange feeling went from weak to strong in just a dozen seconds, almost filling her mind.
At this moment, Pakura just felt confused and had no idea what was going on.
Pakura, 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.
Rasa had no idea of the changes in Pakura's heart as she sat next to him, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that he had almost convinced them.
Rasa 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 Country, 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 Pakura, 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.
Pakura, 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 was willing to negotiate was her own death.
Even if the Sand Village took such action, it was too late.
Even when Naruto took part in the first Chunin Exam more than ten years later, the Sand Village had not recovered.
