The Third Kazekage Vanished, and the Winds Shifted
A few days later, Miya arrived in the Land of Artisans.
A few days earlier, a major event occurred in Sunagakure, the Sunagakure of the Land of Wind.
As one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure has gone missing.
There has been no sign of them for a long time.
Therefore, Chiyo, the advisor of Sunagakure, and Ebizo elder, temporarily took control of Sunagakure.
Meanwhile, in order to find the whereabouts of the Third Kazekage, Sunagakure dispatched a large number of ninjas to search for him.
The already tense situation in the Shinobi World has undergone a dramatic change due to the disappearance of the Third Kazekage.
The situation suddenly changed, and things became unpredictable.
If we're not careful, it could escalate into war.
The Land of Artisans, the Takumigakure.
The ninjas here are skilled in making and using ninja tools, which were created by the famous ninja craftsman Seimei. Most of the ninja tools used by ninjas from various countries are supplied by them.
Because of the complex relationships behind Takumigakure, they do not refuse entry to ninjas from other villages, as long as they complete the registration.
In the Takumigakure.
Wearing Konoha Ninja Forehead Protector, Miya was sitting in a ramen shop. Besides the food, Miya's main purpose was...
We need to find a skilled swordsmith.
However, before Miya could find a suitable ninja craftsman, he heard another piece of news.
The Third Kazekage has disappeared.
"I heard that the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure has gone missing, and now a large number of Sand Ninja have invaded the border of the Land of Fire, where Konoha is located. Do you think this means war is about to break out?"
"Really? The Third Kazekage has disappeared?"
Why did the Sand Ninja invade the Land of Fire?
"It's true. I heard this from someone who's not from the area."
"If war breaks out, our Takumigakure will probably be busy again and make a fortune."
Listening to the villagers of Takumigakure at the next table talking animatedly, Miya, suddenly paused, then continued eating.
Miya's seemingly calm face, he was actually quite clear-headed at that moment.
"The Third Kazekage is dead; the Third Shinobi World War is not far off."
Based on the speed at which the message traveled, Miya could roughly guess how far things had progressed.
"Now all that's missing is the flames of the Kumogakure. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be the ones to ignite the Third Shinobi World War."
The news of the Third Kazekage's disappearance made Sunagakure the center of a storm, drawing the attention of the entire world.
At this time, Chiyo temporarily assumed the position of the Third Kazekage, handling all the affairs of the village.
I'm furious, extremely furious.
"Bang."
"Who? Who exactly leaked the message?"
In the conference room, an extremely angry Chiyo slammed her hand heavily on the table and roared angrily at the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure sitting at the table.
After discovering the Third Kazekage's disappearance, Chiyo immediately took over the management of Sunagakure.
What is the purpose?
It's all for the stability of Sunagakure.
Undeniably, Chiyo did this with ulterior motives, because at the same time as the Third Kazekage disappeared, her only grandson, Sasori of the Red Sands, known as a genius puppeteer, also went missing.
In order to find Sasori of the Red Sands, Chiyo, after taking over power in Sunagakure, openly mobilized a large number of Sunagakure, claiming to be searching for Sasori of the Red Sands's whereabouts.
However, the Sand Ninja they sent out also had another purpose: to find the Third Kazekage.
Using the search for the genius Sasori of the Red Sands as a cover, Chiyo's plan was quite elaborate.
Because they wanted the Sunagakure enjoy lasting peace and stability, the Third Kazekage absolutely could not be harmed.
Otherwise, Sunagakure, without its "Kage," would definitely be in turmoil.
