Amegakure.

Under a gloomy sky, on the tip of a strange statue, Deva Path Pain sat indifferently, looking down at the oppressive Amegakure.

"Pain."

Just then, ripples appeared in the space behind him, Masked Man, Obito, appeared.

After Obito appeared, he said in a deep voice, "You must already know about the information regarding Konoha, about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

It's obvious that their intelligence indicates Naruto Uzumaki is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but the appearance of Karin Uzumaki this time is a bit strange.

At this moment, Deva Path Pain maintained a cold and indifferent expression, calmly said, "Your mind is in turmoil; you've forgotten Orochimaru."

"Orochimaru?" Suddenly, Obito's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "You mean Orochimaru's research?"

"The False Nine-Tails Jinchuriki cultivated by the Land of Fire using the Nine-Tails Chakra' chakra was able to unleash the power of four tails. While it's surprising that Orochimaru could cultivate an even stronger Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, it's not impossible."

After Deva Path Pain's cold voice echoed in his ears, Obito, Obito, immediately narrowed his eyes.

"You're right. I personally witnessed the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, sealing the Nine-Tails inside his own child. As for the price of extracting the Tailed Beast, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't possibly still be alive."

"Moreover!" Obito sneered, "This Karin Uzumaki who suddenly appeared, according to intelligence, is from the Otogakure where Orochimaru has been hiding."

"Looks like another Orochimaru experiment subject. Otherwise, why would Konoha be willing to part with the real Nine-Tails- Tails?"

It was as if the two of them had seen through everything.

"However! Orochimaru truly deserves to be called a genius."

Orochimaru's talent was enough to make them take him seriously and be wary, but now they have lost the opportunity to win him over.

"The Tailed Beast Collection Plan will begin as scheduled in three years. The Nine-Tails is now in your hands, Madara Uchiha!"

Deva Path Pain's tone was cold, but he emphasized the name 'Madara Uchiha' even more.

Masked Obito naturally understood what the other party meant. Now that Madara Uchiha no longer possessed that mysterious aura, his presence was no longer the one that Nagato once feared.

In fact, the other party has begun to question his abilities.

Obito, behind the mask, gave a mocking sneer. A pawn who, after acquiring the Rinnegan, already considers himself a god—how laughable.

"Sarutobi Asuma survived the massacre of his clan, so his strength is barely enough to qualify him to join. If you bring him into the organization, he'll be in your group from now on. Zetsu will be responsible for gathering intelligence on the ninja world, especially the whereabouts of the tailed beast jinchūriki; not a single one can be missed."

Deva Path Pain calmly issued the order, an attitude that infuriated Obito, but he still said in a deep voice, "Alright, I will train the newcomers well, but Sarutobi Asuma also needs to show his loyalty."

If it were before, when they were high and mighty, it wouldn't matter, but now the threat from Konoha's Uchiha Yoru is too great, and the strength of the three great ninja villages has increased dramatically.

At this moment, if Sarutobi Asuma were Spy and leaked their information, it would be dangerous.

Konoha.

Gaara, Temari, Kankuro have changed into Chunin aliases; all three have been promoted to Chunin.

Inside the office, Uchiha Yoru calmly observed the three of them.

"From today onwards, you are Chunin. Temari, your Leading Jonin is Uzuki Yugao, one of Konoha's few Wind Release Elite Jonin. Kankuro, I've read your application. From today onwards, you are a member of the Konoha Military Police Force."

"Thank you Lord Yoru."

Temari and Kankuro nodded respectfully. They had experienced too much in the past month: being Prison, the fall of Sunagakure, and the merger of the Land of Wind and Konoha.

In particular, his father, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was killed by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, and both of them harbored deep hatred for the Sarutobi Clan.

Especially after hearing that there were still remnants of the Sarutobi Clan.

But now they face a choice: either join or remain imprisoned.

In the end, the calm and sensible Temari had no choice but to persuade her two younger brothers to surrender. The Sunagakure was still there, but a new Kazekage had taken over, and this Kazekage now had a god above him.

In particular, the earth-shattering battle Chunin Ninja Exams had shattered her will to resist.

Therefore, although Temari and Kankuro were disappointed, the thought that Sunagakure still existed gave them forced smiles, and they both looked at their younger brother Gaara with concern.

Gaara remained silent for over a month. With his Chakra sealed, he lost his power, but he also felt the care from his two loved ones Temari and Kankuro.

There seems to be a slight change.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but smile. Gaara's talent was undeniable, and he couldn't bear to waste it; this was something he had deliberately arranged.

"Gaara, from today onwards you join Team 7, Hatake Kakashi."

"Team 7?" The three of them looked puzzled. They knew Team Kakashi well; weren't they usually in teams of three?

Faced with the three's doubts, Uchiha Yoru calmly said, "Naruto Uzumaki is about to go to train with Jiraiya, so the team is short one person, and Gaara, you're perfect for that."

"If the Shukaku inside you becomes disobedient, you can go find your Leading Jonin, Kakashi. He also possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan."

In an instant, Temari and Kankuro secretly understood that Hatake Kakashi was a genius Jōnin of Konoha, a strongman in the current Shinobi World, possessed a Mangekyō Sharingan, and was also Uchiha Yoru's right-hand man and confidant.

Such a powerful and trusted ninja is clearly someone who can monitor and supervise the Jinchuriki.

When asked about regrouping, Gaara simply nodded slightly, "Okay."

He had met Sasuke Uchiha before. Sasuke Uchiha had visited him in Prison these past few days, and they had talked a lot, so they could be considered somewhat familiar with each other.

However, at that moment, the office door was suddenly flung open, and Naruto Uzumaki in, his emotions running high.

"Lord Yoru, the tracking team has discovered Teacher Asuma's whereabouts. Please allow us to pursue them!"

Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto Uzumaki had absolutely no manners or upbringing, barged in. Uchiha Yoru could say anything about this rude scene, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara all frowned slightly.

Rude people are never liked, especially strangers.

People tend to accept some of the shortcomings of familiar people, or friends, out of habit, but right now!

"Asuma!"

Upon hearing the name, Uchiha Yoru frowned, crossed his arms in front of the table, and looked at Naruto Uzumaki before speaking in a deep voice.

"When his clan attempted Armed Coup, Sarutobi Asuma made the choice that a Konoha Jonin should make, shouldering his responsibilities and choosing to massacre the coup plotters. Although countless innocent people were killed in the process, that's what a ninja is!"

"After Sarutobi Asuma fled Konoha, I did not issue a warrant for his arrest, nor did I issue a warrant for his arrest as Rogue Ninja."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoruro a solemn expression, "Sarutobi Asuma's spirit is admirable, but the evidence of the Sarutobi Clan's coup is also conclusive. Considering his willingness to sacrifice his own family for the greater good, I have not pursued his responsibility. Naruto Uzumaki, you should understand your identity!"

As for Naruto Uzumaki, he is responsible; he embodies the spirit of an ideal world, like a child's unwavering belief in their own world.

But for adults, his thoughts are admirable, but that's about it!

He chose to forgive the person who killed his master. He also chose to forgive the person who killed his parents. It seems that in this passionate Naruto, people have truly achieved mutual understanding, and all hatred can be let go.

He even suspected that if Naruto Uzumaki were to get married and be cheated on in the future, he would choose to forgive him.

"Lord Yoru, I beg you!"

Just then, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Yamanaka Fire Hitomi, who were following behind in a panic, rushed in and hurriedly pulled the agitated Naruto back down, while Shikamaru Nara respectfully pleaded with him.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression, tapping his fingers on the table. Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Asuma has not declared himself a Rogue Ninja, but he is still an extremely dangerous existence. If you insist on doing so..."

"I can agree to let you leave the village to track down Sarutobi Asuma, but there are no Jōnin in the village right now who can cooperate with you."

Uchiha Yoru's meaning is already very clear: you are acting out of selfish desires, so how could he possibly send Jōnin to assist you?

Shikamaru Nara mind worked the fastest, instantly understood and nodded gratefully, saying, "Don't worry, Lord Yoru, we sent a message to Uncle Yamanaka carrier pigeon before we came. Uncle Yamanaka will be here soon..."

However, Uchiha Yoru casually waved his hand to stop the other party from explaining, "This is your private matter. Since a Jōnin from the Yamanaka has given his consent, you may proceed."

"Lord Yoru, may we invite our friends from the village?" Shikamaru Nara asked tentatively.

Uchiha Yoru raised his head and glanced calmly at the brat, instantly causing Shikamaru Nara to break out in a cold sweat.

"Can!"

"Thank you Lord Yoru."

The Sarutobi Clan has been wiped out. They also paid a heavy price for the attacks by the Sand Ninja. His words just now were a probing question.

Uchiha Yoru nodded in agreement, which meant that he had let go of the ostracism he faced from the Sarutobi Clan's lackeys, and that it all vanished with the demise of the Sarutobi Clan.

"Shikamaru, let's go quickly."

The Naruto Uzumaki excitedly pulled Shikamaru Nara and the others away, while Uchiha Yoru calmly waved to Gaara's team.

Temari instantly understood what he meant and immediately took her two younger brothers to leave.

After leaving the movie theater, Temari wiped away her cold sweat, looked at her two younger brothers, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a smile of relief.

"It seems that Lord Yoru is as magnanimous as the rumors say."

Gaara coldly silent in the face of his older sister's words; at this stage, it was already quite remarkable that he could do this much.

Kankuro, looking puzzled, asked, "What do you mean?"

Seeing her two worried younger brothers, Temari and rubbed her forehead. The three of them then walked away, and she began to explain at the same time.

"Kankuro, being able to enter the Konoha Military Police Force proves that you have gained initial trust. You have seen the current situation, and you should not harbor hatred. In comparison..."

As she said this, Temari raised her head and gave a wistful smile as she looked at the lush green Konoha.

"The green Konoha and clear waters of Konoha—isn't this exactly what our Sunagakure has always strived for? Now we enjoy it, and all Sand Ninja have the opportunity to enjoy it. In the past, we had to fight to seize it, and we didn't manage to get even a single thing over the years. But now, we only need to work hard to enjoy the resources our ancestors wanted."

Faced with overwhelming power, Temari couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

"So, don't overthink it. Sunagakure is still there, and we can go back to Sunagakure anytime. But in peacetime, all we need to do is work hard to become Jōnin so we can come and live in the fertile Land of Fire. Isn't that better?"

Kankuro fell silent, as if what he said made a lot of sense. In any case, the Sunagakure had made a mistake first this time, and the Sunagakure was indeed doing better than before.

All you need to do is pledge loyalty and strive to become Jōnin to enjoy the life that your ancestors dreamed of.

"Also, Kankuro, you better behave yourself inside the Konoha Military Police Force. This isn't Sunagakure. Our father, the Fourth Kazekage, is gone. Nobody will pamper us anymore."

With a heavy tone, Temari looked at Kankuro with tears welling in her eyes.

"So, put aside your bad temper, be down-to-earth, and Lord Yoru has given us a chance. If you cultivate diligently, you can find a girl from Konoha to marry and have children in the future."

Faced with his older sister's expectant gaze, Kankuro turned his head away, but still said in a deep voice, "I understand, sister. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble."

After speaking of Kankuro, Temari looked at her youngest brother, Gaara, whom she had once feared the most, and a sunny smile appeared on her face as she stroked her brother's red hair.

"Gaara, don't think that going to Team 7 is to monitor you. As far as I know, Sasuke Uchiha is Lord Yoru's personal disciple, and Jōnin Kakashi is Lord Yoru's right-hand man."

"Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan was used to suppress the restlessness of Shukaku within you, and he is also a renowned strongman in the Shinobi World. You should study hard."

"And you should know about Sasuke Uchiha's future. This is an opportunity given to us by Lord Yoru, although it's also for all the Sand Ninja to see. So get along well with Sasuke Uchiha, and you'll be comrades in the future."

Temari has made it very clear that after forming bonds with such Jōnin and comrades, it's not just a simple integration into Konoha, but a direct step into the upper echelons.

It must be said that Uchiha Yoru's treatment of powerful ninjas and Jinchuriki was no less than that of the Land of Lightning; he treated them as his own people and nurtured them into heroes.

"Kindness!"

Gaara silently, his single, succinct word bringing a smile to Temari and leaving Kankuro looking shocked.

"You don't need to worry about me. Uzuki Yugao is a renowned Elite Jonin of Wind Release, and is even known as the strongest female Wind Release ninja! Moreover!"

At this point, Temari smiled, "Uzuki Yugao is Lord Yoru's confidante, so the Leading Jonin I'm following will not only not waste my talent, but will also allow me to become Wind Release Jōnin in the future."

Instead of letting them be buried, they were deliberately nurtured, which shows Uchiha Yoru's magnanimity.

This tactic also won over the hearts of countless Sand Ninja.

After all, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro are the children of the previous Fourth Kazekage. Now they are a family, but they fought each other before, and the resentment is still there.

But after Uchiha Yoru made this arrangement, countless Sand Ninja were convinced, especially the former supporters of the Fourth Kazekage, who all nodded secretly in agreement.
