No wonder the Fourth Kazekage had been bold enough to attack Konoha.
So that was it.
He had other partners backing him.
[Sigh... I just feel bad for my darling Temari.]
[She probably still doesn't know that her father... was killed by Orochimaru long ago.]
[The so-called Fourth Kazekage right now is just Orochimaru in disguise.]
What?
The Fourth Kazekage was dead?
And Orochimaru was posing as him?
When they saw the news,
all the women drew a sharp breath.
What was going on?
As Sunagakure's Kazekage, Rasa had been no weakling even among Kage Level fighters.
Yet he had been killed!
Most frightening of all,
judging by how Sunagakure's ninja had behaved these past few days,
it seemed
they had no idea their Kazekage had been secretly replaced.
In other words,
Sunagakure's ninja
had been following Orochimaru's orders all along!
Before long,
they would risk their lives for the very man who had killed their Kazekage!
The news
was staggering.
[In the Original Story, this incident dealt Sunagakure a devastating blow. Nearly all its elite ninja were killed or wounded.]
[Other Ninja Villages nearly joined forces to wipe it out.]
[After the slaughter, barely one in ten civilians or ninja survived.]
[That scene... calling it hell on earth wouldn't be an exaggeration.]
The women reading the diary grew grim.
Through the words on its pages,
they could almost see Sunagakure's horrific future, with corpses piled high and blood flowing everywhere.
Still,
it made sense that Sunagakure would suffer such consequences.
Its Kazekage was dead,
and Orochimaru certainly wouldn't care about the elite ninja he had brought with him.
The fact that the village had survived at all
was already a good outcome.
[But... now that I'm here, everything can change.]
[For my darling Temari, I'll protect Sunagakure!]
