At this time, within Konoha.
In Hokage Office, the window is half open.
It was getting dark outside, the lights on the street were on one by one, and the wind came in through the cracks in the windows, causing the corners of the documents on the table to flip slightly.
Danzo is sitting behind the table, holding in his hand the letter for help sent by Sand Village.
There are still traces of wind and sand on the letter paper, and the corners are also wrinkled.
The sand ninja stood in front of the table, his breathing not yet completely steady.
His body was covered with sand and dust, and his face looked tired from the long journey.
Danzo didn't speak immediately after reading the letter.
The room was quiet for a while.
The sand ninja finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Lord Hokage, please send someone to support Sand Village immediately!"
Danzo Put the letter on the table.
"When was Kazekage arrested?"
Suna Ninja immediately replied, "A few days ago."
"How many enemies are there?"
"This... I don't know yet."
The Suna Ninja looked embarrassed. He took out a small piece of black cloth from his arms and handed it over with both hands.
There is still half a red cloud left on the fabric.
"However, our Lord Kankuro tried our best to tear this off from the enemy."
Danzo took a look.
Xiao.
Of course he recognized the sign.
Several Anbus in the room looked at each other without making a sound.
Danzo asked again, "How is Kankuro now?"
"He was poisoned and the situation is very bad. Chiyo's mother-in-law is saving him."
Having said this, Suna Ninja took a step forward.
"Please send out tracking ninjas as soon as possible to find Lord Kazekage!"
Danzo raised his head and glanced at him.
"Konoha will confirm the situation."
The sand ninja was stunned for a moment.
"Confirm?"
"Akatsuki is not an ordinary rebel. Sending people into Land of Wind rashly will only make things more chaotic."
Sand Ninja was anxious.
"But we have no time!"
Danzo didn't answer his words, but just looked at Anbu next to him.
"Take him down to rest."
Suna Ninja's expression changed.
"Lord Hokage!"
Two Anbu have already walked to him.
The sand ninja wanted to say something else, but looking at Danzo's face that had not changed at all, he finally swallowed his words.
He could only lower his head.
"Please Konoha as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned around and left with Anbu.
After the door closed, the room became quiet again.
Danzo sat on the chair, slowly stroking the black cloth with his fingers.
The red cloud pattern has been torn, and there is still a little dried blood on the edge of the fabric.
After a while, he said:
"Sand Village is in chaos over there."
In the corner, a Root ninja was kneeling on one knee.
"Do we need to send support?"
Danzo looked at the request for help letter on the table, his eyes became colder.
"Support?"
He seemed to have heard something funny.
"Kazekage was captured, and Sand Village was leaderless. At this time, why should Konoha stabilize the situation for them?"
The Root ninja lowered his head and did not ask any more questions.
Danzo picked up the letter asking for help and took a look at the words on it.
Sand Village is writing in a hurry.
The handwriting is crooked, and there are even a few ink marks that have been worn away by the sand.
They were really panicked.
It is precisely because of this that we cannot act in a hurry.
"Send someone to the Land of Wind border."
Danzo Put the letter down.
"Confirm the current situation of Sand Village. If Kazekage dies, there will definitely be chaos inside Sand Village. I want you to keep an eye on them."
"Yes."
"Also, Sand Village's envoy is not allowed to have free contact with people in the village."
"In addition, spread the news about Gaara's murder. The wider the news, the better."
"Yes."
In the cave.
A huge golem stood in the darkness.
Its body is as thin as a dead tree, its hands are spread out, and ten fingers are stretched upward.
Gaara was lying on the stone platform below, his eyes closed tightly, and his face was frighteningly white.
Strips of Chakra were pulled out of his body, flowing towards Demonic Statue of the Outer Path following the spell in mid-air.
The Chakra sometimes looked like fog, and sometimes looked like a stretched beast shadow, struggling to get out of Gaara's body.
Every time you pull out a little bit, Gaara's breathing becomes weaker.
There is no Kakkō deep in the cave.
Only the light from the technique was reflected on the rock wall, flickering like something breathing in the darkness.
Pain stands on one finger of the golem.
His figure remained motionless.
There were also a few vague shadows standing in other positions.
"Sealing Jutsu, Nine Phantom Dragons Seal."
Pain raised his hand.
The next moment, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path opened his mouth.
Several Chakras stretched out from the golem's mouth like dragons and wrapped around Gaara's body.
Gaara trembled violently.
The One-Tail Chakra in his body was continuously drawn out, turned into a stronger force, and was swallowed into the mouth of the demon.
The Chakra fluctuations in the cave became much stronger.
One-Tail's Chakra was constantly being dragged out, like a torn apart sandstorm, leaving Gaara's body bit by bit.
In the cave, I can't tell the difference between day and night, and I don't know the time.
I don't know how long it took, but half a white face suddenly appeared next to the rock wall.
Jue's body slowly emerged from the stone.
Jue's body slowly emerged from the stone.
He first glanced at Gaara on the stone platform, then looked up at Pain.
"Chief."
Pain There is no looking back.
"What's the matter?"
Jue's face completely emerged from the rock wall, with a strange smile in his tone.
"Chiya Uchiha is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, several shadows in the cave moved.
Originally there was only the sound of the operation of the spell, but now there were suddenly a few low voices.
"Chiya Uchiha?"
"Is this the guy who defected from Konoha?"
"We haven't gone to find him yet, but he came to us on his own."
"How did he know this place?"
Several voices sounded alternately, and were quickly interrupted by Pain. Teuchi.
The cave became quiet again.
Pain stood on Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's fingers, looking towards the entrance of the cave.
Through the thick mountain wall, nothing can be seen outside.
But since Jue came back to report in person, it means that the other party is already very close to here.
Pain was silent for a while.
After what happened to Three-Tails, he knew that Chiya Uchiha would confront them sooner or later.
I just didn't expect it to be so fast.
And it happened to be when One-Tail was sealed.
"Did he hit the barrier?"
Jue shook his head.
"Not yet, but he has found it here."
"A person?"
"I've only seen him so far."
Pain's eyes finally became colder.
"Deidara, scorpion."
Below the cave, two figures raised their heads.
The two of them are real.
Deidara sat next to the big bird, holding a ball of clay in his hand. The scorpion's Hiruko stopped in the shadow, its metal tail shook slightly, and the tip of its tail drew a thin mark on the rock.
"You go outside and hold him back."
Deidara was stunned for a moment, then grinned.
"Let me deal with that Uchiha Clan? Just in time, I also want to see what he is capable of, huh."
Scorpion said nothing and nodded.
The two of them let go of their hands, and the technique in mid-air immediately shook.
Two of the Chakra dragons wrapped around Gaara's body were missing, and the remaining ones tightened suddenly.
Gaara's body trembled.
Pain raised his hand.
"Continue."
The next moment, the suction force in Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's mouth suddenly became stronger.
One-Tail Chakra surged out of Gaara's body as if it was torn open.
The rock walls in the cave began to shake, and gravel fell down.
Still stopped at the rock wall.
Pain glanced at him.
"Notify Madara."
The smile on Jue's face got even bigger.
"Understood."
After saying that, his body sank into the rock again.
