Chapter 106: It’s Time for Another Person to Bear the Blame
Sasori used the Sennō Sōsa no Jutsu (Memory-Concealing Manipulative Sand Technique) to control Yura, one of the trusted members of the Kazekage advisory council and Baki one of the council’s highest-ranking members. From now on, Sasori would know of all the events that happened in the Sunagakure.
And using the influence of Yura and Baki, he could be proposed that, after the death of the Fourth Kazekage, since there no Kage successors in the Sunagakure for the time being, to give up on the investigation Amegakure, so as not to cause a war.
More importantly, Sasori could also use Baki to get Gaara’s intel.
Once Akatsuki collected all the information on the Bijuu, Sasori would use Baki to capture the Jinchuriki, Gaara.
“Go back!”
Sasori’s fingers moved slightly, controlling Baki and Yura to turn in the direction of Sunagakure by using Sennō Sōsa no Jutsu (Memory-Concealing Manipulative Sand Technique).
“As expected of Sasori-san!”
Deidara was full of praise for Sasori’s maneuvering, “Although it was not as good as my explosive art, it has certain merits.”
“…shut up, you only speak nonsense.”
Now that the issue of the Fourth Kazekage dying in the Land of Rain has been perfectly solved, Sasori and Deidara did not hesitate to leave here and report back to Pain.
On the way, they’d get Pain to pass the news to Uehara, and get that kid to go back to the Land of Rain by himself, so he that doesn’t come to Sunagakure and accidentally make a problem again.
“ok, ok, I got it.”
Deidara touched the back of his head embarrassedly and blinked at Sasori, “Respect the elderly and seniors. I know it well.”
“…”
Sasori felt a headache coming on.
But Deidara was a heartless guy. After insulting Sasori, he summoned his white clay bird, “Sasori-san, let’s go!”
“…Humph!”
Sasori gave a cold snort and slowly climbed up Deidara’s big white clay bird. The two sat on it and flew into the air, slowly disappearing from the Sunagakure.
After they left.
A figure quietly appeared from the ground.
Uehara watched the big white clay bird disappeared and frowned, “Why didn’t this fellow, Sasori, go and see his grandmother?”
He didn’t expect Sasori to be so capable.
Uehara went and worked to clean up Orochimaru, so when he came here, Sasori had already dealt with the trouble, which made him uncomfortable.
This had disrupted Uehara’s plan.
“If that’s the case, then I can only throw the pot to someone else.”
Uehara tapped his arm with his finger, looked at the Sunagakure, and sank back into the ground.
Late at night.
Uehara surreptitiously found out about the situation in the Sunagakure.
With the death of the Fourth Kazekage, there was no ninja capable of succeeding him in the entire village. In addition, they suffered heavy losses in the Land of Rain, so the people could only ask Chiyo and Ebizo to come out again.
The prestige of the Gokyōdai (Honoured Sibling) was still substantial.
Chiyo would temporarily take charge of Sunagakure as a consultant and elder and would select the Fifth Kazekage in the future.
Ebizo, as the staff member who assisted Kazekage and was in charge of the Intelligence Division, also returned to his original position and was re-elected into a high-ranking position in the village council.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the moonlight was getting brighter.
The moonlight entered Ebizo’s room, a hand floated out quietly from the wall, and placed a note on his desk.
However, before the hand retracted to the wall, it threw out a pen and awakened the sleeping old man.
Although Ebizo was old, he was still vigilant.
In a flash, the old man stood up, a kunai appearing in his palm. His eyes that narrowed slightly reveal very energetic eyes.
“Who!”
After a moment, Ebizo looked around his room vigilantly, his eyes stopped on the note on the table, and his face changed instantly.
Who sneaked into his room?
And without him knowing, left a note on his desk. If it was a ninja from his village, there was still room for discussion…
If it’s an enemy…
That was too dangerous for a high-ranking council member!
This world did not have many good people.
When Ebizo opened the note, his expression became extremely ugly, and a drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead because there was a simple leaf shape with a swirling mark on the back of the note.
That was Konoha’s mark.
Ebizo was silent for a while and decided to follow the instructions on the note. He put on his clothes and decided to rush to the secret meeting place on the message.
At the oasis outside the Sunagakure.
This was originally the retirement home for Ebizo and Chiyo.
Since they returned to live in Sunagakure again, this place would soon be sealed off, and they would return to live here once they retired again in the future.
An uninvited guest greeted them here today.
When Ebizo arrived, he saw an old man sitting in the room with bandages on half of his face.
Konoha Root leader Shimura Danzo.
Danzo was Ebizo’s most prominent opponent in the past, and he also trapped the Sunagakure from the darkness of the Ninja World several times.
Ebizo slowly sat at the table and said in a gloomy voice, “It’s been a long time, Danzo. I didn’t expect you to have the courage to meet me privately.”
“Sunagakure is very weak.”
Danzo slowly poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Ebizo, “If it weren’t for the death of the Fourth Kazekage, even if the person I sent could send the invitation to you silently, I am afraid this place would have been surrounded by Anbu now.”
Ebizo looked down at the tea and did not choose to accept it.
Danzo seemed to be aware of what he meant and smiled, “Don’t worry, this time I came to you to cooperate… Those young people in the Ninja world are too grumpy and always think that cooperation would harm their interests. In fact, cooperation can lead to a win-win situation.”
“…”
Ebizo was silent for a while before he sighed and said, “If you have something to say, say it, I can’t stay up all night.”
“Very well.”
Danzo nodded and said in a deep voice, “I want the Kishō Tensei (One’s Own Life Reincarnation) developed by Chiyo.”
“How do you know…”
“Nothing impossible.”
Danzo raised his head and glanced at the surprised Ebizo and said leisurely, “The Fourth Kazekage has been killed in the Land of Rain. I have confirmed this information, and I also know the number of missions from the Sunagakure very well. If you want to protect Sunagakure, you could only rely on Konohagakure to give you back the missions given by the Land of Wind.”
Ebizo shook his head and rejected Danzo’s suggestion, “Do you have this ability? That old man Sarutobi Hiruzen is still there, and it’s not your place to call the shots in Konoha!”
“As long as Sarutobi was killed, I’ll naturally be in charge of Konoha.”
Danzo gave a secret smile as if everything was under his control, “Kazekage died in the Land of Rain, and you must be in conflict with the Land of Rain. Do you need me to help you make peace? That Hanzo is in a good relationship with me.”
“…”
Ebizo’s fingers slowly tapped on the legs of the table.
Today, Sunagakure has just passed a resolution, intending to send a representative to Amegakure about the death of the Fourth Kazekage in the Land of Rain, and they would try to threaten Hanzo and get some benefits along the way.
As for war, Sunagakure can’t be the one to start it.
However, it depended on whether Hanzo agreed with their negotiations. Hanzo might even attack the Sunagakue, taking advantage of the Kazekage’s death.
After all, the current the Sunagakure was weaker than ever before.
“If you want Kishō Tensei (One’s Own Life Reincarnation), I can give it to you.”
Ebizo slowly raised his head to look at Danzo and say word by word, “But Konoha must support our negotiations with the Land of Rain. Konoha would also return the mission entrusted by the Land of Wind to us and provide a certain amount of food as a support to the Land of Wind…”
