There were many people at the ceremony.

Hidden villages from all over the world have basically sent people to congratulate them. Although Sand Shinobi has been frustrated and declining in recent years, it is still one of the five hidden villages. Compared with those small hidden villages, I still don't know how strong it is. These small hidden villages will not lose face.

The seating arrangements of the hidden villages are also particular. The four Neji sit in the front row, and in the same row are representatives of Cloud Shinobi, Rock Shinobi, and Mist Shinobi.

After that, there are representatives from the villages of Rain Shinobi, Cao Yin, Niao Yin and so on.

"There are so many people here..."

Ino looked back, she didn't really want to come, but when she got to Sand Shinobi, she thought it was pretty good.

She has never been to Sand Shinobi. The country in this kind of desert is naturally very different from Konoha in the plains. The customs and architecture are very novel.

Chōji is not interested in these, he only pays attention to delicious food.

"Neji, shall we go find some local food when it is over?"

"Hey, Chōji, are you still thinking about eating at this time?" Shikamaru was speechless.

Chōji nodded seriously, defending the dignity of a foodie.

Neji asked Shikamaru: "Is there anything you want to do?"

"Me? I just want to go back to Konoha quickly, it's so troublesome to be outside..."

It was an expected answer.

The few people stopped chatting, Gaara had already come to the scene.

Fifth Kazekage Baki, solemnly handed over the shadow cap and shadow gown he had taken off to Gaara.

"Oh!!!"

The Sunagakure citizens present cheered.

The cheers are not because Baki is incompetent. In fact, Baki has been quite satisfactory in the past two years and has done nothing. This has caused the villagers to not impress him well enough.

Therefore, this cheer is mainly to look forward to Gaara to bring new and progressive changes.

People will always remember the rulers who made some pioneering works, and even those notorious violent-kuns. The rulers of the mean will mostly be forgotten.

Wearing a shadow gown and a shadow cap, Gaara officially becomes the sixth generation wind shadow.

Then came a "inauguration speech". After Gaara finished speaking, it naturally aroused a burst of cheers, and the representatives from other hidden villages also applauded.

After the ceremony, it was Chōji's favorite dinner party.

The delegates gathered in the hall prepared by Sand Shinobi. There were ten long tables filled with food, and they could be taken and eaten by themselves, like a buffet.

Chōji turned on the glutton mode without saying a word, and began to feast on it.

Although Ino and Shikamaru are not very gluttonous, they rushed to here from Konoha. They were physically exhausted and they were really hungry. They ate with Chōji.

Neji's physical strength is extraordinary, he is not very hungry, did not eat much, just drank some water.

"Why, isn't Sand Shinobi's food unappetizing?"

Neji turned around and Gaara stood behind with her arms folded.

"will not."

"long time no see."

"Um……"

Neji is really not used to Gaara talking like this.

The last time I met was a violent and cruel boy, this time it was a warm man, who can get used to it.

"What, Konoha is actually you."

Temari did not know when he came over, and his attitude towards Neji was still so unkind.

Neji smiled and said, "Why, do you think of psychological shadows when you see me?"

"...What kind of psychological shadow!" Temari was so angry that he almost threw the big fan out, "Huh, I have not been the same in the past two years. If you don't believe me, I will discuss it later!"

"Forget it, I don't want to smash the self-confidence that you have finally recovered."

"what!!!"

"Okay, Temari." Gaara stopped her and continued.

Temari sullen, she didn't dare not obey what Gaara said before, but now Gaara has become a wind shadow, and she has to obey it even more.

"Do you have time, I want to talk to you."

"With me, or with Konoha?"

"Hmm... Representative Konoha."

Neji nodded, it should mean business.

The two went out to the venue, when the crowd had dispersed and it was quiet.

Neji asked, "Why, what do you want me to bring to Master Hokage?"

When talking about business affairs, a Fengying and a special Jōnin are not equal, and Neji can't promise anything, only as a microphone between Gaara and Tsunade.

Gaara said, "I want to deepen the alliance between Sand Shinobi and Konoha."

"Oh?"

Now Sand Shinobi and Konoha are allies in their own right. However, in the last Orochimaru Rebellion, the villagers on both sides didn't take this covenant seriously anymore.

Some things, once happened, the credibility will be greatly reduced.

For example, there will be countless times of derailment once.

For example, tearing up the covenant, tearing it once can tear it up twice or three times.

Gaara seems to be aware of this problem and wants to change it.

"Not only for us Sand Shinobi, I think it is also a good thing for Konoha." Gaara said, "As far as I know, Mist Shinobi and Rock Shinobi are in conflict with you Konoha. Cloud Shinobi, right You Konoha have always coveted it."

Gaara said this kind of thing seriously, Neji is really a little bit playful.

Fortunately, he adjusted quickly enough and quickly entered the state.

"Then your further deepening, how do you deepen it?"

"Business, military, infrastructure... Our two hidden villages are fully cooperating." Without thinking, Gaara said what he had envisioned for a long time. "You can even open up borders to each other. Of course, this may need to be discussed several times."

"Um……"

Neji thought, Gaara wants Sand Shinobi and Konoha to be bound together.

The young man is still very discerning.

Sand Shinobi is currently in the five hidden villages, and his overall strength is estimated to be the last one. In this case, it will take too long to rise again on one's own. Then, if you can hug Konoha's thigh and get assistance, the situation will be greatly improved.

For Konoha, a truly trustworthy ally is also very important.

As Gaara said, Mist Shinobi and Rock Shinobi are not very friendly to Konoha. If these two hidden villages formed an alliance to deal with Konoha, Konoha would be very uncomfortable.

There is a loyal ally, Sand Shinobi, next to Rock Shinobi, at least it can play a role in restraint.

If Rock Shinobi really dared to send an army to attack Konoha, Sand Shinobi would lose his home in the next second.

Gaara estimates that this is also the point, and then put forward this in-depth alliance proposal.

"Neji, I hope you will mention this to Master Hokage when you return to the village. I will also write a letter later."

"Yes, I will mention it. But, Gaara, you should be very clear that you have betrayed the covenant once. You are the one who witnessed it yourself."

"Yes."

Gaara sincerely admitted that he didn't throw all the pot on Orochimaru.

It was true that Orochimaru had murdered Fengying's fake order, but if Fengying didn't move his mind, it wouldn't happen.

"Then, now if Konoha trusts you again, you must pay a certain amount of sincerity."

"I see."

Although both parties have their own needs, it is undoubtedly that Sand Shinobi is more dependent on Konoha. In this way, Sand Shinobi does not pay some price, and Konoha will certainly not easily agree.

"In this case, I will talk to Master Hokage after I go back."

Seeing that Gaara is very on the road, Neji also thinks there is a way for this.

With Tsunade's character, as long as Sand Shinobi is sincere enough, he should agree to this matter.

only……

Neji looked at Gaara and suddenly remembered that he was Akatsuki's first target.

One Tail Shouhe, right inside him.

In the original book, about three years after Chūnin took the exam, Akatsuki officially started to take action.

Now, two years have passed. Neji thinks that because of him, Akatsuki's plan will definitely change, maybe the plan to catch the tail beast will be advanced.

That way, Gaara would be very dangerous.

"You... be careful these days."

"what?"

"There is an organization that sent people to Konoha to catch Nine Tails Jinchūriki."

Gaara's pupils contracted slightly when he heard the words.

"If their goal is to tail beasts, then you will also be on the catch list."

"...I see, thanks for reminding."

Gaara nodded deeply, and the sleeping Shouzuru in his body seemed to be awakened by these words.

"Gaara! You must not let me get caught!!"

"..."

Gaara rubbed her eyebrows and apologized to Neji: "Sorry, I'll leave first."

"good."

Neji saw him leave and went back to the meeting place by himself.

Shikamaru was looking for him, when he came back, he hurriedly asked: "Neji, should we almost go back?"

"What's the hurry, I have to buy some specialty products to take home to give away."

"..."

"You guys buy some too, it's rare to come to Sand Shinobi."

Neji is serious, he really wants to buy some Sand Shinobi specialties, such as some clay sculptures and desert rosestone crystals, and take them back to Tenten Hanabi.

"Then let's buy some too." Hearing shopping, Ino felt a little bit more energetic. "Shikamaru, don't put on a bitter face. Really, no wonder no women like it."

"What, it's a good thing that no woman likes it, so much trouble!"
