Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 168 Lu Jiu: My father is dead

"Elder Chiyo, do you want to go back?"

"What, you want to stop me?"

At the Konoha Embassy, ​​Chiyo looked at Nara Shikaku and others who were blocking her way, and her tone became cold, "Now Sunagakure has been invaded as you wished, and has become a laughing stock of all countries. The Kingdom of Wind has also fallen into civil strife. Can't I go back to collect the body of my brother?"

Several ninjas behind Shikaku stared at Chiyo coldly. The Fourth Hokage hasn't settled the score with you, the Sand Village yet. Why are you pretending to be innocent here?
Shikaku raised his hand and waved it to calm the ninja behind him, and said to Chiyo sincerely:

"Elder Chiyo, you are too kind. We didn't expect things to develop like this. As an ally, I am also very sad that such a thing happened in Sunagakure..."

Chiyo's eye twitched, and she was furious at Shikaku's shamelessness.

Sad?

If you hadn't stopped me, Sand Village wouldn't have fallen to this point!
"…Now, the enemy who attacked Sunagakure may still be hiding in the dark, ready to make a move. So, in order for you to return to the land of Wind safely, I have a suggestion. We in Konoha can send some ninjas to protect you."

After a long string of polite words, Shikaku finally revealed his purpose, making Chiyo's face even gloomier.

"Are you planning to take me through the border defenses and use me as a hostage to threaten Sunagakure?"

Although Sunagakure suffered a severe blow, the Kingdom of Wind is a big country after all. Some of its ninjas have already joined the daimyo, and there are sufficient ninjas guarding the border. It is basically impossible to take over the Kingdom of Wind without losing a single soldier.

And her existence can give the Fire Country the upper hand. After all, her prestige among the Sand Village ninjas is among the best. If they knew that she was held hostage by Konoha, they would definitely send someone to negotiate or rescue her.

By then, the Wind Kingdom will have even less chance of turning the tables.

Although Chiyo was disappointed with the daimyo's actions, she witnessed the establishment of Sunagakure in the Wind Country with her own eyes and really did not want both of them to disappear from the stage of history.

"You're joking."

Shikaku smiled gently and took out a document, “Elder Chiyo, we in the Land of Fire are very sincere, and Konoha has already prepared funding for Sunagakure.

This time we are sending someone back to Sand Village with you to discuss the reconstruction of Sand Village. I heard that your village suffered heavy losses, and as an ally, Konoha is willing to share some of the burden with you."

"It's fine if you stop me from going back, but you're using me as a bargaining chip to threaten Sunagakure. Aren't you afraid that something might happen to the hostages Konoha left in Sunagakure?"

Chiyo ignored Shikaku's "lie" and said excitedly, "Or did you guys make preparations long ago and let Utatane Koharu and the others evacuate the embassy in advance? Or did you plan this attack?"

If it was during the reign of the third generation, Utane Koharu's status would be equal to hers, but since the fourth generation came to power, the other party's status has plummeted.

When the embassy was established, Rasa did not want to suffer a loss, so he asked Konoha to add a lot of important figures on the basis of Utane Koharu, all of whom were core figures of various ninja clans in Konoha.

In the end, the lineup sent out by Konoha was actually at a slight disadvantage compared to their Sand Village.

At that time, Luo Sha felt that he had made a good deal and did not think much about it, but now looking back, after the death of the Fourth Kazekage and the Fourth Hokage, the situation of Sunagakure and Konoha is completely different!

They are in a period of transition in Sunagakure, while Konoha is full of talented people. After the death of Minato Namikaze, Tsunade can immediately take over the responsibility.

After Luo Sha's death, Sunagakure had to rely on a group of old men and her.

Therefore, Chiyo reasonably suspected that this was a conspiracy of Konoha.

A conspiracy that existed since the embassy was first established!

"In the news that Sunagakure sent me before, the pattern of the Sharingan appeared in Shukaku's eyes. Shikaku, don't you want to explain it to me? Do you, the Fire Nation, want to tear off the hypocritical mask and invade the Wind Nation?"

Chiyo asked coldly, ready to die here if Shikaku turned against her. Shikaku sighed, put away the documents in his hand, took out a piece of information and handed it to Grandma Chiyo, saying with a sad expression:
"To be honest, today we received news that all personnel at the Sunagakure Embassy were massacred."

Seeing his genuine expression, Chiyo took the information from his hand with disbelief, took a look at it twice, and her eyes suddenly froze.

The Sunagakure ninja rioted because of Shukaku's Sharingan, and after Shukaku was taken away by the mysterious Uchiha... they massacred the entire embassy?

How can this be?

Even if some people lose their minds because of Sunagakure's loss, there are always calm people who stop them...

No, her brother and the elders of Sand Village were all killed, the Kazekage Building collapsed, and the top management was all killed, who was going to stop it? !
Therefore, the information reported in the intelligence may not be impossible.

Looking at Chiyo's stiffened face, Shikaku maintained a sad expression and spoke in a calm tone.

"You are still in contact with Sunagakure. You can verify the authenticity of the news with them. Most people in Sunagakure know about the attack on the embassy. The bodies of Konoha ninjas are in your hands. The evidence is solid."

"We are sending someone to take you back to collect the bodies of our Konoha ninjas."

Chiyo's mind was a mess, and she was extremely annoyed that the younger generation of Sand Village gave the Fire Country a reason to go to war.

There was no evidence in the Land of Fire pointing to Sunagakure in the case of the Fourth Hokage, but the attack on the embassy happened in full view of everyone and could not be covered up.

What a stupid thing to do!

Chiyo sighed secretly.

In her contact with Sand Village, the last information she received was that the Kazekage Building had collapsed and some of the Sand Village ninjas had defected.

No ninja contacted her again after that.

She originally thought that the Sand Village was in chaos and the ninja who was responsible for contacting him had died in the chaos.

Now that she saw this information, she finally understood.

It's not that the person who was in contact with her died, it's probably that the other party thought she was dead!

All the staff of Konoha's embassy in Sunagakure died, so naturally she had to pay with her life... She was sold!
"Is this a misunderstanding?"

The roles were reversed. Chiyo said something similar to Shikaku with a dark complexion, "That Uchiha was not a ninja from Konoha, but someone else, such as the subordinates of the National Extermination Feather? The other party used the Sharingan to control some ninjas to attack the embassy, ​​hoping to deepen the conflict between the two sides..."

She was prepared to die in Konoha, but being betrayed by her own village to die in this way...she couldn't accept it!

But this time it was Shikaku's turn not to listen to her explanation.

Shikaku interrupted coldly, "Elder Chiyo didn't know, so I was able to speak calmly before, but my father was also a member of the embassy, ​​and he also passed away!"

Chiyo looked at Shikaku's face and found that his eyes were bloodshot and his face was pale. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

The haggardness on Shikaku's face was clearly visible, but she had deliberately ignored it before...

"The Wind Country has now sealed off its borders, and we need permission to enter and collect the bodies. That's why I came to you."

Shikaku stared at Chiyo and said in a deep voice: "If we encounter any obstacles, the Fire Kingdom will declare war on the Wind Kingdom if necessary!"
