I heard some chaotic discussions coming from downstairs.

Ebizo closed his eyes silently, but his withered fists began to clench.

Listening to the increasingly lively discussions downstairs with her ears perked up, Chiyo said in a cheerful tone.

“Although this move is cliché, it is surprisingly useful. I wonder if it was used by the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Earth Village, or even Konoha?”

Ebizo was startled, then his tense face relaxed and he smiled bitterly:

“Sister, no matter which ninja village did it, the key is how to solve the current situation.”

“Whether we deny or confirm the news, it won’t work.”

If this news is confirmed, it means that the Third Kazekage for this month was impersonated by someone.

The strongest Kazekage in the history of Sand Village has indeed been mysteriously missing for a month.

That would be an extremely severe blow to the morale of the Sand Village and might even lead to the split of the village!

If I deny it, does that mean I really have to play the role of the Third Kazekage until I die?

Ebizo, who is already quite old, doesn’t really care about this.

But the key is, if I really play the role of Fengying to the end.

Once the Ninja World War begins, I, as the Kazekage, will definitely go to the battlefield.

Once on the battlefield, if you don’t know how to use iron sand, you will definitely be exposed, and the consequences will be even more serious.

And there are all sorts of other negative consequences.

Chiyo closed her eyes and listened silently to the increasingly noisy noises outside.

After a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a resolute determination flashed in her cloudy eyes.

“I’ll explain it to you. No matter what, I’ll just have to put it off for a few days.”

After saying this, Chiyo stood up.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped.

Chiyo looked out the window oddly, and pricked up her ears to listen to the noise outside that was gradually dying down.

Ebizo was also listening to the noise outside.

After a few seconds, a smile of relief and joy appeared on his face.

“This kid really knows how to pick the time. If he had come a few minutes later, we would have been doomed.”

At this time, below Fengying’s office.

Gathered together, a densely packed crowd of Sand Ninjas.

At this time, they all stopped whispering and looked intently at the handsome young man standing on the roof.

Li Fan originally planned to go to the capital of the Kingdom of Wind first.

But as soon as he arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Wind, he heard this rumor.

He realized that something was wrong.

Without meeting anyone, he quickly controlled Feiyan and rushed to the Sand Village at full speed.

Looking at the dense black shadows on the ground, Li Fan finally let go of his worried heart.

Fortunately, I arrived in time and did not let things develop to the final point.

Li Fan tried his best to control his rapidly beating heart. He took a deep breath, gathered the chakra into his mouth, and said loudly:

“My fellow countrymen of the Sand Village, I am the only disciple of the Third Kazekage, the jonin Li Fan!”

Li Fan’s voice, amplified by chakra, echoed in the Sand Village.

Many ninjas and civilians who were busy working stopped their work upon hearing this sound.

“I know that you are all confused by today’s rumors, and even feel shaken in your hearts.”

When Li Fan said this, he gritted his teeth and said resolutely:

“As the direct disciple of the Third Kazekage, I can tell you responsibly that this rumor is true!”

“Wow!”

As Li Fan’s words came out.

The crowd that had originally been quiet immediately became even more agitated!

The sounds of various discussions and even crying were constantly mixed together.

The eyes of many civilians who were originally working were quickly filled with mist.

At the same time, great despair and confusion also crept into their hearts.

It turns out the rumors were true.

The Sand Village’s strongest supporter, the Third Kazekage, has actually been missing for a month!

So where will their future go?

No, when even the strongest Kazekage mysteriously disappeared for a month, do I really have a future?

“My compatriots, this news is true, but aren’t you wondering why we had to hide the news of my master’s disappearance for a whole month?”

The young man’s gentle yet firm voice spread to every corner of the Sand Village.

Hearing this gentle yet firm voice.

Civilians are in extreme confusion and sadness.

Suddenly I found that my emotions had stabilized.

The civilians walked out of the house at the same time. They could see each other’s red and swollen eyes, but the silent crying disappeared.

They just looked up silently into the distance, as if they could see the young man who was talking through the layers of eaves.

The ninjas, who were extremely obedient and had a clear sense of hierarchy, all stopped communicating at the same time.

They looked at the dusty young man standing on the roof with a certain expectation that they themselves were not aware of.

Li Fan said in a firm and sad voice, reciting the draft that he had urgently prepared in his mind:

“A month ago, Elder Chiyo discovered that the Kazekage had been missing for a day, and she urgently summoned all the elite jonin who were in the village at the time to come and discuss the matter.”

“At that time, someone also proposed a plan to mobilize all forces to find the Third Kazekage.”

“But I rejected it. Is it because I don’t want to find my master? No, it’s not. I also want to find my master.”

“But I know very well that if our village mobilizes all ninjas to look for clues about the master.”

“Such a large-scale search cannot be hidden from others. Other ninja villages will definitely take advantage of our misfortune and attack us!”

“In this way, we will definitely be defeated without any preparation, and our relatives and friends will undoubtedly die under the enemy’s butcher knife!”

Having said that, Li Fan stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes hard.

Li Fan opened his eyes wide, which had turned red from rubbing too hard.

Li Fan looked at the increasing number of ninjas gathering around him.

Even the surrounding rooftops were filled with ninjas without anyone noticing.

He clenched his fists, his tone was as gentle and firm as before, and he said angrily:

“So, in order to avoid being caught off guard, we can only hide the news of my master’s disappearance and ask Elder Ebizo to pretend to be my master in order to stabilize the enemy!”

“And we are also constantly preparing war materials to prepare for the possible war.”

The ninjas who were watching silently around nodded thoughtfully.

Li Fan’s words were easy to understand, and many of his friends had indeed received many strange tasks.

Even I myself have received some related tasks.

At this time, many ninjas who had witnessed the sparring between Li Fan and Aoki Jonin a month ago.

Everyone around was quietly telling the story of the battle.

Soon, Li Fan easily defeated the senior ninja Aoki, and possessed iron sand, which was even better than his master.

All the ninjas present already knew it.

Li Fan’s brain was working at high speed at this time.

Try to make your words simple and easy to understand, and comfort the ninjas as much as possible.

But Li Fan, who was thinking very quickly, did not notice that the panic expressions on the faces of the surrounding ninjas had disappeared.

More and more ninjas no longer had the confusion in their eyes, and instead looked at Li Fan with burning gazes.

The sun has set.

But a younger and more powerful sun is rising in everyone’s hearts.

Li Fan continued loudly:

“Many people may have discovered that your relatives and friends have been transferred to border defense within this month.”

…………

“Ever since I defeated Aoki Jonin in a sparring match a month ago, I have been out on an urgent mission, working hard to ensure that our Sand Village can stand to the end in the upcoming war!”

“Please believe that we have not done nothing since my master disappeared.”

“On the contrary, each of us is working hard for the future of the Sand Village.”

“Including everyone here, you are contributing to future victories, knowingly or unknowingly!”

“I also promise that as the direct disciple of the Third Kazekage, I will definitely sacrifice my last drop of blood for the Sand Village!”

After Li Fan shouted the last sentence at the top of his lungs.

The speech that lasted more than ten minutes finally ended. No, it should be called a presentation.

He didn’t bother to wipe the sweat off his face, just looked at the ninjas around him.

When he saw that the ninjas around him were just staring at him blankly with no expression on their faces.

Even though Li Fan had been exposed to the scorching sun for more than ten minutes and was sweating all over, he only felt a chill all over.

Li Fan knew that his so-called speech was very rough and did not contain many skills.

This is normal because I came up with this idea in just over ten minutes.

So when he saw the reactions of the people around him, Li Fan’s first reaction was that his speech was a failure.

Li Fan calmed his inner panic and was just about to speak to make amends.

I don’t know who was the first to speak:

“Master Li Fan, you are right. If it weren’t for your actions, I’m afraid we would have been caught up in the war without any preparation…”

Then a second person spoke up:

“Li Fan, your foresight and determination are something we admire!”

Soon, the surroundings were no longer as peaceful as before and became extremely noisy.

But what was different from before was that the noisy content was vying to praise Li Fan!

Ninjas are not stupid.

Especially after Li Fan explained all the relationships and interests in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

Even the new students who have just enrolled in the Ninja School.

They could also easily understand what Li Fan meant, and roughly understand the situation that the Sand Village was facing.

When rumors are flying all over the village and everyone from top to bottom is at a loss as to what to do, someone must stand up and act as a stabilizing force.

Reassure people’s hearts and let them know that there is still hope for the future.

Li Fan’s performance has made it very clear to everyone.

Even though the Third Kazekage has been missing for a month, the village has not collapsed, and there are still people working silently for the future of the village!

“Tread~step~”

Suddenly, there was the sound of high heels stepping on the roof of the house where Li Fan was standing.
