Cultivation Plan (1)

On the first day of the Seven Limits, Uchiha Yue used Purple Eye to observe the surrounding area and discovered that many Sunagakure ninja had appeared nearby. Judging by their behavior, they were clearly searching for someone. Uchiha Yue then concluded that these Sunagakure ninja had been dispatched by Sunagakure's upper ranks to locate the Third Kazekage.

Clearly, the Third Kazekage's disappearance from Sunagakure had already come to the attention of Sunagakure's upper ranks.

Therefore, in order to obtain news of the Third Kazekage as soon as possible, Sunagakure's upper ranks had mobilized every Sunagakure ninja to search throughout the Land of Wind for traces of him. This made Uchiha Yue's efforts to remain hidden within the Seven Limits increasingly difficult. After all, with so many Sunagakure ninja roaming the Land of Wind in search of the Third Kazekage, and with Uchiha Yue unable to use chakra in battle, concealing himself from their search without fighting them became many times harder.

As for why Sunagakure's upper ranks were so anxious to find the Third Kazekage, Uchiha Yue could also guess the reason.

Although Sunagakure was a ninja village controlled by its upper ranks—the Council of Elders—the Third Kazekage, as the Kazekage, still possessed a level of influence within the village that ordinary people could scarcely imagine. Put simply, the Third Kazekage was a puppet publicly controlled by Sunagakure's Council of Elders. Even without real authority, his position in Sunagakure was one that no member of the Council of Elders could replace.

Even old woman Chiyo, the most powerful member of Sunagakure's Council of Elders, had to show the Third Kazekage some respect in front of those Sunagakure ninja.

This showed just how important the Third Kazekage was to all of Sunagakure. Especially with the village's internal discord, the Third Kazekage
