Gossip Backfires Spectacularly
Is it possible that the underground black market is spreading rumors by publishing these gossip stories?
They also have something to say.
The Shinobi World is now at peace, and with the reforms led by the five great Shinobi World Five Great Shinobi Villages, the ninja villages and nations are now closely linked, and the mission system is more comprehensive.
They're almost out of living space, okay?
After accumulating so many reputation points, it's time to withdraw them.
Besides, they've all made it clear that this is gossip news; it's problematic who takes it seriously, okay?
Besides, they're not afraid of anyone coming to their door.
The things the underground black market did were far worse than spreading gossip about the Shinobi World; they offered bounties on key figures from various ninja villages, yet none of them suffered any retaliatory or devastating blows.
Now, dodging a few people who come knocking on my door because of gossip is a piece of cake.
Besides, they're just earning money to avoid going bankrupt during the career transition.
If we're really talking about influence, shouldn't we assassinate Kakashi, the author of this masterpiece, first?
--
An hour later, at the Flying Thunder Array teleportation point in Sunagakure, there were quite a few people this time.
At the insistence of the gossip trio, Pakura also decided to go to Kirigakure with them.
Rasa betrayed him to Kirigakure, causing her, a renowned war hero, to be ambushed and riddled with Kunai.
Because she never expected to be betrayed, she was completely unprepared and didn't even have time to use her Ninjutsu.
Ironically, Rasa's death was also due to being betrayed.
It is undeniable that Rasa collaborated with Orochimaru, but was ultimately assassinated by Orochimaru's men; even Orochimaru himself admitted it.
The key question is how Rasa died.
The autopsy report from Sunagakure showed that Rasa suffered a fatal penetrating wound to his heart, with almost no other injuries, and even his clothes were intact.
Not only Rasa, but also the two Sunagakure Anbu guards who died with Rasa were in the same situation.
The scene didn't look like a fierce battle had taken place at all.
The implications of this are self-evident, aren't they?
Rasa's method is to control the golden sand. Once the battle begins, it will inevitably be a massive upheaval, with tremendous noise and chaos.
Now there's nothing at the crime scene.
All signs indicate that Rasa was eating hot pot and singing with Orochimaru when he was stabbed to death.
Or what else could it be? Was Rasa too weak and got instantly defeated?
In short, this is the conclusion that Sunagakure reached.
After observing for so many days, Pakura has let go of her hatred for Sunagakure.
The only one left is Kirigakure that used the Manual Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu on her; they were the ones who truly killed her.
At that time Sunagakure was fighting on two fronts against Kirigakure and Iwagakure.
Pakura is a key fighting force on the Kirigakure front.
Her Scorch Release is not only not countered by Water Release like Fire Style, but it can also evaporate Water Release, including the signature mist of Kirigakure.
When killing the Kirigakure ninja, Pakura felt no guilt whatsoever; she even felt like she was ridding the Shinobi World of a menace.
When Pakura suggested going to Kirigakure, Naruto, unaware of the situation, immediately agreed with "Okay, okay," as if as long as there were enough people in the group and it was lively enough, that was all that mattered.
However, Kakashi, Gaara, and the others who knew the situation immediately realized that something was wrong.
Kakashi didn't speak, but instead turned his gaze to Gaara.
With Kazekage present, there was no need for him to ask.
"Senior Pakura, what do you want to do by going to Kirigakure?"
Gaara was blunt and asked the question directly.
Gaara's attitude immediately prompted the gossip trio to whisper among themselves, and they shared their findings with the onlookers.
The person whose story was shared with was immediately saddened.
As expected, Maki and the others said was true.
The Kazekage doesn't like girls; he likes Naruto Uzumaki.
You see, Gaara is incredibly patient with male ninjas, even those with whom he disagrees politically, but he doesn't have any of those complicated feelings when it comes to female ninjas.
"You guessed right, I went to Kirigakure for revenge—or more accurately, to see if I still needed revenge."
Pakura seemed pleased with Gaara's direct approach and gave a straight answer.
It's not actually that direct.
After all, the first part of the sentence caused the surrounding air temperature to drop somewhat.
Only after he said the second half of the sentence did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
--You should know that "Madara Uchiha" hasn't left yet.
The last Fa Yi who tried to disrupt the peace was forced to his knees and beg for mercy, and finally realized his mistake.
If Pakura had spoken the second half of her sentence a little slower, "Madara Uchiha" might have charged over with a speaker again.
"The ninjas of Kirigakure, hidden Village of the Bloody Mist Kirigakure, are all madmen. They'll even kill their own people without hesitation, just to prevent any possible leaks of information."
I want to see what Kirigakure, which is said to have now been free of the Blood Mist mist, is like.
And what kind of woman is the new Mizukage who broke the Blood Mist Policy?
Pakura was completely unaware that she had already made a trip to the Elbow Gate Pass, and was still earnestly explaining her thoughts.
"I see, that's good. Senior Pakura, please give my regards to the Mizukage."
Gaara breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Indeed, even though former war heroes are burdened with hatred, they are still kind at heart.
However...
"What? What does Lady Pakura mean by that?"
"Let me tell you, let me tell you, I know! -- Lady Pakura actually liked girls, which is why she remained single during her lifetime. This time, she heard about the Fifth Mizukage's beauty, so she wanted to..."
"It's true! I saw it, Pakura even trimmed her nails~"
"?"
The people gossiping in Pakura weren't the gossipy trio, but rather the bystanders who had just been chatting with them.
Even if they were incredibly bold, they would never make such a joke in front of Pakura.
Moreover, one of them, Maki, is a disciple of Pakura.
The gossip trio never expected that everyone in Sunagakure would be so talented and able to apply their knowledge to new situations.
This backfired on them.
Pakura was earnestly explaining why she went to Kirigakure when she heard this string of fabricated words coming from behind her, and her mind went blank. She didn't know what to say next.
Also, what does "cutting nails" mean? Why didn't she understand?
She was Impure World Reincarnation, and her fingernails don't grow long. Her current fingernails are the same length they were before she died. Why would you say she cut her fingernails?
What does that mean?
"Master, that's what they said, it has nothing to do with us—and it proves that thing again."
Maki ran to Pakura's side and hurriedly explained.
"What does this prove?"
Pakura was confused.
"So the appearance of Bonds Ninja in the Shinobi World has nothing to do with Shirozumi? We said before that if a male Bonds Ninja were to see Shirozumi as a delicacy, he himself would be in danger."
Now there is another piece of evidence.
If a female ninja like you, Master, were to become Bonds Ninja, wouldn't she inexplicably gain a bunch of competitors, perhaps even competitors who could easily overpower her?
Maki said with a serious expression.
