Chiyo and Ebizo had gotten up early, since there was an Elder Council meeting today about how to deal with Sasori.
Sand Village, Kazekage Building.
Chiyo told them about the Mysterious Masked Man, adding another possible explanation for the Third Kazekage's disappearance.
A Uchiha Clan Member's Space-Time Ninjutsu, using the Mangekyō Sharingan.
The elders turned toward Chiyo and Ebizo at once.
"That's right. How did we not think of that? Perhaps the Third Lord disappeared because of Space-Time Ninjutsu."
"The Mysterious Mangekyo Sharingan Host must have been Madara Uchiha."

"That detestable Madara Uchiha must have thought the Third Lord's power threatened him, so he wanted to get rid of him early."
Only Chiyo and Ebizo knew just how powerful Madara Uchiha was. The others in Sand Village had no idea.
They truly believed the Third Kazekage was the Strongest Kazekage of Successive Generations. They thought his great potential had caught Madara Uchiha's attention, and that was why he had been targeted and dealt with so early.
Rasa rubbed his chin. Space-Time Ninjutsu could explain the Third Kazekage's mysterious disappearance.
But it still sounded far-fetched.
Rasa was more inclined to believe that Sasori had assassinated the Third Kazekage.
An opposing elder raised an objection.
"Chiyo, you said Sasori left back then to track down whoever took the Third Lord. But that's just Sasori's side of the story."
"There is no evidence proving that Madara Uchiha took the Third Lord."
Chiyo countered, "Then is there any evidence proving that my Sasori assassinated the Third Kazekage?"
"..."
The elder had no answer. There was just as little evidence proving Sasori had killed the Third Kazekage.
Their suspicion stemmed from the timing of the Third Kazekage's disappearance and Sasori's defection. Sasori had defected right after the Third Kazekage went missing.
But
