Even though I had only had time to cross the threshold of the house, hug my family, eat a snack, and write a report on the completed mission in an hour, after which I hurried to the clan leader, I learned about this event within the first twenty minutes.
- The last Kazekage was forced to step down for various reasons, and now a certain Rasa is ruling Suna," Shenesu nodded, putting the paper aside, "We haven't heard the exact details yet, but it seems to be a compromise figure between the clans in power and the puppet faction, joined by some clanless jonins. Considering our allies are somewhat strapped for cash, the new Kazekage's kekkei genkai will help replenish Suna's budget, despite the many disgruntled with the appointment.
- Hmm, interesting," I nodded, rubbing my chin thoughtfully.
My records had little to say about the situation in Kaza no Kuni, mostly from a period far removed from the current one, and the only thing known about this Rasa was that he had sealed a one-tailed biju into his youngest son in an attempt to obtain weapons for the village, and that was it.
There is only information on the individual personalities of the Sunovians, but that is very little to fish in troubled waters for profit.
- Naturally, as soon as the news came out, the Hokage immediately gathered an embassy, headed by Orochimaru," he continued, waiting for me to digest the information. "Given the international situation, it's imperative that we maintain the alliance, and the Council has prepared some very interesting proposals to support Suna during this difficult time.
- It's also a good cover for discussing with the Suna people the possibility of painfully flicking Kirigakure on the nose," I squinted slyly at my relative, realizing the background.
- Including," Shenesu nodded approvingly.
- Who of ours was included in the embassy?
I wouldn't believe for a second that my uncle would leave such an important event to a Hokage apprentice, even if he was ten times friendly to me. Any clan would go out of their way to put their own man in the retinue of an official representative, just to have an idea of what the parties would agree on behind closed doors.
- They sent the heirs to gain experience and you could use some to broaden your horizons, but it didn't work out," his uncle shook his head.
- As if this was the last embassy, I'll have time for more," I waved him away.
To go somewhere else, especially in the desert, when I had just returned home, before I had time to shake off the dust, figuratively speaking, did not entice me at all. I had enoughenough to keep me busy for weeks.
- The ability to understand the politics of not only your home country, but also the neighboring countries and their villages and towns, is also an essential part of an heir's training," the head of Nara, who had been leaning back in his chair, became more serious, "Anything can happen in our world, and the death of the head and heir is not as unlikely an event as recent events would suggest, so keep that in mind, Ryo-kun.
