"That year, several villages, besieged Konoha. In the end, they retreated in defeat."
"At that moment, I thought: If I could become a hero of the village, I would win everything for Suna."
"Now, the opportunity to exchange a hero's sacrifice for peace is right before us. I must consider whether this will be the only chance I have in this lifetime."
"I believe that Suna will one day achieve dominance. When that day comes, please carve my image into the sand, like the Hokage Rock in Konoha, as an eternal symbol."
"Reforging the glory of Sunagakure is our inescapable duty!"
Pakura stood directly opposite the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, her eyes blazing with a holy fire that seemed to melt the shackles binding Suna. Her voice resonated with unwavering determination.
She was... the ninja who bore the name of Suna's hero!
Although her strength didn't reach the heights of Konoha's White Fang, her resolve far surpassed that of suicidal ninjas.
"Pakura, you..."
Rasa was speechless, his heart filled with a mixture of reluctance and guilt. It was likely the kind of guilt that would jolt him awake in the middle of the night, accusing him of being inhuman.
The other elders lowered their heads, unable to meet Pakura's gaze.
They were the ones who had devised the plan for Pakura to die in exchange for Suna's opportunity. Why was Pakura herself proposing it?
The relationship between Suna and Konoha...
Once, in
Hiss-
Wasn't this human trafficking?
No, wait...
Atsui reconsidered. "Refugees" weren't protected by law in any village.
Runaway ninja were labeled as missing-nin, hunted by their village or listed on bounty boards. As for ordinary people, except for extreme nations like the Land of Water, there were few restrictions.
If refugees from the Land of Water were caught, they faced life imprisonment, enslavement by nobles, or becoming "ninja synthesizers" for Kirigakure, serving as first-kill targets for academy students.
Therefore, even if they were captured by Kumo and sent to Suna as laborers, it wouldn't matter!
Perhaps these swamp rats would even praise them as saviors.
And conveniently, Kumogakure's base in the Land of Hot Water was still operational.
"That's... acceptable! Let's sign the agreement without delay!"
Soon, two copies of the "Kumo-Suna Treaty" and the "Triangular Trade Pact" were placed on the table. Both sides, having achieved their desired outcomes, signed their names and affixed their seals with satisfaction.
The alliance was thus formed.
"Kumogakure emissary, would you like to stay in Suna for a couple of days to exchange culture and ninjutsu techniques?"
"Aha... perhaps another time. I must hurry back and report."
A harmonious scene of mutual satisfaction filled the meeting room.
Then, discordant footsteps interrupted the pleasantries. "Reporting to Kazekage-sama, there's trouble at the ninja tool shop!"
The incident stemmed from some literate readers who, after reading the third issue of Iki, felt increasingly dissatisfied and decided to cause a scene at the ninja tool shop.
First, they asked the shopkeeper for "ten explosive tags, without a speck of sand on them." The shopkeeper, after much searching, provided ten such tags.
Then, they demanded "ten kunai, without a trace of rust." Although annoyed, the shopkeeper still complied.
Finally, the literate ninja, still unsatisfied, deliberately provoked the shopkeeper, asking for "ten shuriken, washed seven times with water!"
The shopkeeper finally snapped. "Are you kidding me? Should I wash them with gold?"
"You don't have any? Are you trying to get me killed on a mission?"
"What does your mission have to do with me?!"
Thus, the literate ninja and the shopkeeper engaged in a brawl, causing quite a commotion.
