"And among the many Puppet Techniques, there is a branch called 'Human Puppet,' which allows Ninja corpses to be made into humanoid puppets.
"The Fourth Kazekage was already a corpse when he attended the Five Kage Summit.
"But who can guarantee that the Fourth Kazekage wasn't a humanoid puppet at the time?
"And if the Fourth Kazekage was a humanoid puppet, wouldn't the only people capable of controlling that puppet be you Sunagakure Ninja?"

Even granting that premise.
Why would a Sunagakure Ninja kill the Fourth Kazekage, then control his corpse to attack the Kage of the other four villages?

And a Missing-nin capable of assassinating the Kazekage and turning him into a Human Puppet...
A red-haired figure suddenly flashed through Granny Chiyo's mind.
Could it be? No, it couldn't...
Granny Chiyo took a deep breath, suppressing the confusion and unease in her heart.
"Sunagakure absolutely refuses to accept that explanation!"

How could it not be a victim?
To be honest.
Granny Chiyo even suspected that the Fourth Kazekage's death was a setup orchestrated by the other four villages!
Thinking it through carefully.
Konoha had signed Alliance Pacts with Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure in succession.
Of the Shinobi World's five great villages, Sunagakure alone remained outside.
The Fourth Kazekage had attended the Five Kage Summit alone, only to be assassinated in a joint setup by the
