Chapter 119
Obito Uchiha and then left the scene.
Uchiha Clan, Amakawa Akito Uchiha clan.
It is very suitable for scouting.
To become cannon fodder vanguards tasked with finding out whether other members of the Uchiha Clan possess the Mangekyō Sharingan...
56. Disbelief
Several days later.
The captured Konoha and Sunagakure, who were released, returned to their respective villages and reported what they had seen and heard in Amegakure.
The speech given by the Ming Akito standing on the walls of Amegakure City.
There's also Pakura's confession.
Naturally, this was simultaneously relayed back to them.
However, Sunagakure and Konoha handled this matter in completely different ways...
Sunagakure, Kazekage Building.
Rasa and the elders sat in the conference room.
Everyone's expression was very solemn.
They never expected this.
Pakura, who was sent to Kirigakure to die, actually appeared alive in Amegakure.
And he even helped Hanzō's granddaughter subdue Amegakure?!
"Judging from the travel time, it's impossible for Pakura to go to Kirigakure first and then Amegakure."
They were analyzing the information on the table.
The elders reached a conclusion.
The journey to the Land of Water takes approximately 4 to 6 days, depending on the weather at sea.
The journey from the Land of Water to Amegakure is roughly the same.
Pakura arrived in Amegakure in just half the time.
This is clearly unreasonable.
"Pakura must have discovered our plan, which is why she didn't go to Kirigakure at all."
"That's right, maybe that's it."
The elders whispered among themselves, sharing their opinions.
Meanwhile, Rasa received the latest report from the Sunagakure Anbu from his brother-in-law, Yashamaru.
His pupils contracted quickly, and he relayed the report to the other elders.
"Everyone."
Rasa's face looked extremely pale.
"Pakura did indeed go to Kirigakure, and then reappeared in Amegakure."
"What?!"
The elders relayed the information and quickly confirmed its authenticity.
They exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible?"
Unless Pakura grows wings.
No... Although Pakura can fly using Scorch Release, the efficiency is extremely poor; it's not as efficient as running on foot.
"Perhaps... it's because Pakura is hiding her true strength. Her potential... is far more terrifying than we imagined..."
An elder analyzed.
If that's the case, then it's truly terrifying.
Pakura's true strength might... be on par with Rasa's.
Then.
Her suspicion of Pakura transformed her from a loyal Sunagakure female ninja into a deeply scheming individual.
As for that Amakawa Akito...
"No bloodline? Pakura herself admitted to being defeated? What a joke!"
"Is this an insult to our intelligence?!"
The elders slammed their fists on the table and stood up.
I find it utterly absurd.
How could someone without any bloodline defeat Pakura and then kill Ryūka Uchiha?
Did you think he was the second Demigod, Hanzo of the Salamander?
"Let's forget about Amakawa Akito for now. What should we do about Pakura?" an elder reprimanded.
Everyone immediately fell silent.
A heroine of Sunagakure, a female ninja who made countless contributions to the village.
If others find out.
They get high-ranking officials to betray them in exchange for personal gain.
The rule of Sunagakure will definitely be shaken!
"It's simple, just deal with the few ninjas who returned to the village!"
An elder said in a somber tone.
"The ideas they brought back are too dangerous..."
It's not just that Pakura is still alive.
The things that Hanzō's granddaughter, Amakawa Akito, said were far too dangerous.
They declared.
To change the world, we must overthrow the Five Great Nations.
He even said some other things that could potentially shake the foundations.
Such political propaganda must naturally be nipped in the bud.
"Agree."
"Agree."
The elders nodded in agreement, easily deciding the fate of the returning Sunagakure.
"As for Pakura, just say she was controlled by the enemy using Genjutsu."
The elders came up with a great plan.
If it is said that Pakura is controlled by Genjutsu, then everything she says will be unbelievable.
In this way, the village's grassroots ninjas will not be shaken.
"That's the only way."
Rasa sighed, realizing that his plan had backfired.
The order was then issued.
Rumors began to circulate in Sunagakure that "Pakura had been captured by the enemy and was being controlled by Genjutsu"...
"Konoha contacted us, and in addition to this matter, they also invited us to join forces against Iwagakure to end the Shinobi World War."
Rasa addressed the elders.
Since Pakura really did go to Kirigakure.
This means that the ceasefire agreement plan between Sunagakure and Kirigakure has failed.
The war... must continue.
This is something Sunagakure cannot bear.
In order to quell the situation as quickly as possible.
Now, the only option is to accept Konoha's offer.
Let's launch a joint attack and force Iwagakure to surrender completely.
"Then, let Chiyo go."
The elders immediately thought of Chiyo.
Since Konoha doesn't plan to launch a full-scale attack on Amegakure for the time being, Sunagakure can conveniently eliminate the threat posed by Iwagakure.
We'll deal with Amegakure and Kirigakure later.
I suspect Konoha shares this thought.
"No need."
Just then, Chiyo walked in from outside.
The elders immediately looked over.
A few days ago, Chiyo, who had been withdrawn, went directly to the northern part of the Land of Wind.
Because news of her grandson Sasori of the Red Sands, had surfaced over there.
Now, Chiyo's return is...?
"Kazekage, this is my resignation."
Chiyo, looking dejected, submitted her resignation.
I am preparing to resign from my high-level position.
"Elder sister..."
Knowing his sister's temperament well, Ebizo also stood up and submitted his resignation.
"What's going on with you two...?" Rasa looked shocked and confused, not understanding why.
Two high-ranking officials and Kazekage's assistant both surprisingly requested to resign from their positions.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired..."
After Chiyo finished speaking, she left.
Ebizo nodded to the crowd and left the scene.
The defection of his grandson, Scorpion, back then.
Pakura, a meritorious official, was murdered.
The betrayal of Konoha's allies, a betrayal that cuts like a dull knife.
The accumulation of various dark aspects of life left Chiyo disheartened.
She decided... to withdraw from the ninja world, live a quiet life away from worldly affairs, and peacefully await her death.
At the same time.
The distant Konoha.
Senior executives gathered in the conference room to discuss related matters.
"This Amakawa Akito is definitely hiding his true strength."
Mitokado Homura frowned as he finished reading the intelligence.
No bloodline?
