Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

The Third Kazekage was startled and quickly retreated, but two ferocious puppets dressed in white were already waiting behind him.

"Drill - One Heart, One Body!"

Chiyo's chakra threads blurred into afterimages as the two white-clad puppets joined their hands together, pulling out five thin threads that slashed fiercely at the Third Kazekage from behind.

Sizzle~~

The Third Kazekage reacted quickly, using the sand iron to block the thin wire while simultaneously using it to support his body. Even so, a thin wire still managed to cut a bloody mark on his body.

"hateful!"

The Third Kazekage's face was gloomy. The thin thread had no magnetism at all, so it was obviously prepared specifically for him. It seemed that Chiyo had been on guard against him for a long time.

"Although I'm getting old, this move is just as powerful as it used to be."

Chiyo flicked the chakra threads in her hand and said casually, "You're still being careless, Kazekage."

"...You even used poison online?!"

The Third Kazekage quickly realized something was wrong, and his expression immediately changed drastically.

The flow of chakra within his body became increasingly sluggish, and the surrounding iron sand, lacking the support of chakra, instantly scattered to the ground.

"Yes, because my precious grandson has always wanted to turn you into a puppet."

Chiyo put away the puppet, lowered her eyes, and said, "Now that there is an opportunity, as the grandmother, I should naturally fulfill the child's wish."

Taking one step while thinking three steps ahead—that's the strength of Chiyo as a veteran powerhouse. Even if the gap between them isn't large, she will ultimately emerge victorious.

While the Third Kazekage was still figuring out how to capture her, she was already thinking about how to better preserve the integrity of the "materials".

"You, you...! My Sand Village will die at your hands sooner or later, Chiyo! Chiba!"

Under the onslaught of the deadly poison, the Third Kazekage collapsed to the ground in anger, muttering something incoherently, seemingly repeating someone's name.

"I never expected that the strongest Kazekage would die from poison. How frustrating!"

And that Chiba, he actually ruined my grand plan! You'll be going to hell with me...

"Ah this?"

In the blink of an eye, from the moment Chiba wrapped Rasa up to the moment the Third Kazekage fell to the ground, only a short time had passed.

Realizing that he seemed to have indirectly caused Kazekage's death, Chiba felt... strangely relieved!

"You little punk, stop trying to act tough in front of me!"

"The strongest Kazekage, huh? You can't even beat an old lady. What trash! Bah! My brother is better than you!"

However, Chiba naturally couldn't say these things in front of Rasa.

Everything happened so suddenly that Luo Sha froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning, and for a moment lost the ability to think.

"Hey, Brother Luo Sha, look at the mess this has made..."

Chiba rubbed his non-existent hands together and said, "Since the Third Kazekage is dead, why don't we two brothers defect to the enemy together?"

"Lord Kazekage... is dead?"

Luo Sha repeated, somewhat bewildered, seemingly finding it hard to accept this fact.

“Yes.” Chiba affirmed, “He died on the road to realizing his ambitions, so he died a worthy death.”

Luo Sha fell silent.

The Third Kazekage is dead. What should he do now, and how can he realize his own value?

"Alright, Brother Luo Sha, this kind of ambitious person isn't worth your sadness."

Seeing the bewildered Rasa, Chiba earnestly instructed, "Remember what I'm about to say; it might help you continue to realize your 'value'."

Among the Third Kazekage's faction, aside from the Kazekage himself, the strongest was Rasa.

Now that they have lost their two strongest fighters, all that is left is a rabble, which quickly crumbled, with some surrendering and others being killed.

As Chiba and Rasa scattered their paper and gold dust, they were instantly surrounded by Chiyo, who had already taken control of the situation and was watching them intently.

"Chiba, explain yourself. What exactly is going on?"

Shigure stopped the crowd from making a move, walked through the crowd to Chiba and Rasa, and stared at the two with cold eyes.

Before the banquet began, Chiba manipulated the sand to remind the couple to be careful of the Kazekage, which was the reason why Shigure had not yet made a move against Chiba.

But now that Chiba has gotten involved with Rasa, the confidant of the Third Kazekage who once hunted down their son, Shigure's murderous intent rises.

If Chiba cannot provide a reasonable explanation, then Ame will deal with the two of them without mercy.

"Senior Shigure, this is what happened..."

Chiba appeared calm, but in reality, her heart was in her throat.

He could see the murderous intent in Shi Yu's eyes. This time, he was really going all out to save Brother Value!

Chapter 66 The Sand Village should form an alliance with Konoha!

"All of this was planned by Danzo Shimura and the Third Kazekage. My brother Rasa and I were just dragged into it; we had no choice in the matter."

Chiba had already prepared a perfect excuse, but now, in order to save Rasa, he had to change his story.

"Brother Luo Sha is unwilling to attack his colleagues, and I am unwilling to attack you and Senior Zhenzi. Brother Luo Sha and I were just acting. Neither of us has a life on our hands today!"

Hearing Chiba's excuse, Rasa's eyes flickered slightly. In truth, he hadn't killed anyone; he simply felt those people were worthless...

Shigure pondered for a long while, his expression still cold and stern: "Even so, this doesn't change the fact that he once hunted down Sasori. Get out of the way, Chiba, or else...!"

Chiba's heart sank to the bottom. It was over. Value Bro was going to die young, and he would have to take care of Karyuro.

Luo Sha gave a bitter smile, patted Chiba on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Alright, Chiba, you've done your best. Move aside and live well for me."

After saying that, Rasa strode towards Shigure, a smile appearing on his face, facing failure and death with utter composure.

Because just now, he had already found his "value".

"Shiyu, put down the knife in your hand."

Just as Shigure was about to execute Rasa, Chiyo, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"The Third Kazekage met his end precisely because he lacked the ability to tolerate others. Do you want to end up like him?"

Chiyo's single sentence defined the nature of today's events, and indeed, that is exactly the case.

If Chiyo truly coveted power, then the position of the third Kazekage would have been hers long ago; it wouldn't have been anyone else's turn.

Shi Yu was taken aback: "But Mother...!"

"Alright, we were all serving our own masters and doing our own jobs before, there's nothing wrong with that. It's already commendable that this child was able to hold onto his principles."

Chiyo said calmly, "Rasa is quite capable. After you become the Fourth Kazekage, let him be your assistant."

As people age and become more shrewd, Chiyo saw many flaws in Chiba's words, but none of that mattered. A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions; he only cares about the outcome.

Rasa "was unwilling to harm his fellow villagers," so the Third Kazekage, who ruthlessly killed his fellow villagers, deserved to die, and Shigure's ascension to the throne was perfectly justified.

At this time, making good use of Rasa can appease people and help them gather the remaining forces of the Third Kazekage and turn them into their own.

If Rasa has no ulterior motives, then it's fine to continue relying on him; if he does, then Chiyo can kill him with a wave of her hand.

"(OωO?)! What?!"

Not only was Shigure stunned, but even Rasa was shocked. He never expected that not only would he not die, but he would actually be promoted!

"Here……"

You have to understand, he's followed the three Kazekage for so long, and they haven't even offered him the position of Kage's assistant. But now, before he's even defected, the enemy has already given him that position. This is truly...

There were so many changes tonight that Luo Sha was having trouble keeping up.

"Phew, I understand, Mother."

Shigure took a deep breath, agreed, and then extended a hand to Rasa.

"Then I look forward to your guidance from now on, Fengying. However, as a father, I hope you can sincerely apologize to my son."

"No problem... Lord Kazekage."

Rasa grasped Shigure's hand, feeling as if he were in a dream, having become the Kazekage's assistant without even realizing it.

"Can I finally unleash my full potential and realize my ambitions?"

The confusion in Luo Sha's heart vanished instantly. He turned around and excitedly hugged the equally bewildered Chiba, wanting to share his joy with her.

"Thank you, Chiba!" Rasa said sincerely.

If it weren't for Chiba, he would probably have died at the hands of Shigure and the others long ago, let alone advanced in rank.

From now on, Chiba will be Rasa's own brother, and if anyone dares to harm Chiba, he will be the first to object!

"You're welcome, Brother Rasa!" Chiba smiled as well.

Although the process was very tortuous, he successfully found a way out of the desperate situation and saved Brother Value's life, so he can be said to have achieved his wish.

Now, Chiba's tense nerves can finally relax a bit.

Under Chiyo's command, Rasa quickly gathered the remnants of the Third Kazekage's forces, ending this massive internal strife in Sunagakure.

Shukaku, who was running wild everywhere, was arrested on the spot and returned to his "little house" with regret, waiting for the next time he was released from confinement.

"The moment of harvest has finally arrived! Time to open the blind boxes!"

Seeing the groans of ninjas and civilians everywhere, Chiba's eyes lit up and he said, "Shigure-senpai, please let me join the rescue team. I want to do my part!"

Shigure naturally wouldn't refuse, and so, Chiba, like a wild horse that had broken free, dashed off in a flash.

"Ha, take this palm strike!"

Chiba's goal was clear: to save only those beautiful, oops, seriously injured, Sand Village strongmen wearing Jonin or Chunin disguises.

The rewards dropped by genin and ordinary people are too trash. Unless they are famous characters or have amazing figures, Chiba doesn't even look at them now.

[Ding! Healing successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the "Eye of Sand"!]

[Ding! Healing successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained "Sand Body Flicker"!]

[Ding! Treatment successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained...]

After a series of treatments, Chiba gained a whole bunch of skills in playing with sand.
