However, the problem lay with the position of "elder."
As everyone knew, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Danzo were three complete nuisances.
Sunagakure was not much better in that regard.
In the original story, Sunagakure had more than ten elders.
That was over a dozen nuisances~~!
How could Sunagakure possibly prosper?
Otherwise, why had Sunagakure's higher-ups killed Pakura in the original story? It was only because, after the Third Kazekage died, they feared Pakura would seize the position of Kazekage.
It could only be said... crows everywhere were equally black.
Konoha High Command was a pack of petty schemers.
Sunagakure likewise had many problems.
While the Third Kazekage was in power, he could still keep them suppressed.
Once he was gone, those hidden dangers would erupt.

Akira Sarutobi gave a slight nod, rose to his feet, and left.
The Third Kazekage watched the four figures disappear by the doorway.
Then, he looked at Pakura and stretched out a hand. The metal doors shut together under the effect of Magnet Release Chakra.
"Pakura, how credible do you think Konoha's attitude is?"
As Sunagakure's hero and his most capable subordinate,
the Third Kazekage had never doubted Pakura's loyalty.
In that regard... she even surpassed Rasa.
Although Rasa was his disciple, the Third Kazekage actually intended to support Pakura.
After all, the family powers tied to the elders were far too deeply rooted.
To change Sunagakure, this rotten system had to be thoroughly eradicated.
If things developed according to the original plot, Konoha's diplomats at this moment would only argue their case and seek benefits for Konoha.
But because Akira Sarutobi possessed the mindset of someone from the Celestial Dynasty, all he had in mind was a win-win outcome.
The fluttering wings of a butterfly began to change certain things...
