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

It's no exaggeration to say that he currently possesses more Sand Release ninjutsu than most Sand Village ninjas.

【…】

[Ding! Healing successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a new chakra attribute: Wind!]

"Wow, it's been so long, and finally a new chakra nature has appeared!"

Chiba cheered the moment he saw the system notification.

Those around assumed that Chiba was overjoyed because he had successfully saved another life, and they all praised Chiba's noble medical ethics.

The gazes of the Sand Village's high-ranking officials towards Chiba softened considerably.

How could such a simple and enthusiastic young man be involved in this turmoil?

As expected, it was all Shimura Danzo's fault!

"Great! Now, if I just acquire 'Lightning', I'll have all seven attributes!"

As Chiba pressed on the chests of the two female ninjas, he excitedly thought that he was one step closer to mastering the power of the Bloodline Limit.

"This mission to Sunagakure was truly worthwhile. Not only did I acquire a bunch of ninjutsu, but I also gained a new chakra attribute."

Chiba didn't lose out, Chiyo and the others didn't lose out, Rasa didn't lose out, everyone was happy!

(P.S.: The Uchiha bloodline endowed Chiba with the "Yin attribute," while the Senju bloodline possesses the "Water and Earth attributes," which only circulate in fan works.)

……

After cleaning up the mess in Sunagakure, it was already dawn.

Chiyo and several other high-ranking members of Sunagakure gathered together to discuss the village's future direction.

Chiba, a traitor, managed to infiltrate the meeting as a representative of Konoha due to his special status.

"Konoha has gone too far in this matter. I suggest we form an alliance with Iwagakure and Kumogakure to jointly resist Konoha!" a high-ranking Sunagakure official said angrily.

Chiyo nodded slowly and said, "Konoha has indeed crossed the line this time, and I will make Shimura Danzo pay for it."

The Fourth Shinobi World War had just ended, and now Sunagakure was in chaos again. The village's buildings collapsed, and countless people were killed or injured. It would probably take at least seven or eight years to recover.

Just as the group was about to set the tone for boycotting Konoha, Chiba suddenly spoke up: "Seniors, I have a different opinion on this matter."

"Do you even have the right to speak here? Letting you attend the meeting is already a huge favor…!"

"Ok?"

An angry high-ranking member of Sunagakure was about to reprimand Chiba, but when Shigure and Rasa's cold gazes swept over him at the same time, he immediately fell silent.

"Tell me, child, what are you thinking?" Chiyo asked Chiba with interest.

Chiba nodded and said seriously, "Chiyo-senpai, I think the most advantageous course of action for Sunagakure right now is to continue the alliance with Konoha."

"What!?"

The high-ranking members of Sunagakure were instantly stunned. If it weren't for the presence of Shigure and Rasa, they might have already drawn their swords.

"Your Konoha instigated the internal strife in our Sunagakure, and now you actually want us to continue our alliance? Have you people of Konoha lost all sense of shame?!"

A high-ranking member of Sunagakure pointed at Chiba, exasperated, and said, "I have never seen such a shameless person!"

Chapter 67 Sakumo Hatake's Worries

"Seniors, there are three reasons why I say this."

Inside the meeting room, facing the unfriendly gazes of several high-ranking Sunagakure officials, Chiba calmly explained.

"Firstly, this matter arose because of Danzo Shimura. His purpose in doing so was to provoke a war and consolidate his power. If you break with Konoha, wouldn't that be exactly what he wants?"

"Secondly, Sunagakure is currently weak. Given the personalities of the current Raikage and Tsuchikage, it's hard to say whether they will join forces with Sunagakure to attack Konoha, but they will definitely take advantage of the situation and make many unreasonable demands."

"In conclusion, if Sunagakure still chooses to ally with Konoha, Konoha, whether out of morality or to maintain its foothold in the ninja world, will severely punish Shimura Danzo and do its utmost to protect Sunagakure's interests, providing substantial compensation."

Chiba's words were powerful, resounding, and impassioned.

Anyway, Chiba doesn't have to pay for the compensation. His mission is simply to form an alliance with Sunagakure. After completing the mission, Shimura will naturally bear all the consequences.

"Hmm, what you said does make some sense."

Chiyo nodded slightly. Not only her, but also several other high-ranking members of Sunagakure were somewhat persuaded.

If they can swallow this humiliation, then forming an alliance with Konoha now would truly be the most advantageous option for Sunagakure.

After the meeting.

Chiyo left Shigure behind and instructed him, "If there's a chance in the future, let Sasori get closer to this Chiba. This child's future achievements are limitless."

Shi Yu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "Mother, this is the first time you have given such high praise. Although Chiba is much more outstanding than his peers, is he really as exceptional as you say?"

Chiyo shook her head and said, "Let me ask you, when you were his age, would you have dared to sit alone in the 'enemy camp' and chat with a group of enemies who wanted to kill you?"

"I...I will let Scorpion have more contact with him."

Shi Yu thought for a moment, then shook her head and smiled wryly, "But actually, it seems that these two children have always liked each other quite a bit."

……

half a month later.

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Tsunade stomped her foot on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk, pointed at his nose, and started cursing.

"You old fool, I wasn't in Konoha, who gave you permission to send Chiba on such a dangerous mission?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi weakly said, "Tsunade, I am the Hokage, I have the right..."

"You have nothing to say, shut up!"

Tsunade roared, interrupting Hiruzen Sarutobi: "If anything happens to Chiba, I'll come back and scatter your ashes!"

Bang!

After saying that, Tsunade smashed Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk with a punch, and then stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

"Ugh……"

Looking at the mess in the office, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed heavily, feeling a sense of desolation.

He's such a failure as a teacher; one of his students doesn't listen to him at all and is willing to stay anywhere but Konoha.

Another disciple would go to the Hokage's office every few days to scold him.

"Thinking about it this way, Orochimaru is still the most filial."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was seething with anger. He beckoned to the Anbu outside the door and said with a grim expression.

"Go, bring Shimura Danzo here to me!"

After a while, another roar came from the Hokage's office, but this time it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who roared.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

"I know, Hiruzen..."

"Danzo, I am the Hokage! I am the Hokage!"

"Hiruzen, did you summon me here just to humiliate me?"

"thing?"

"soft!"

"film!"

"regret!"

Bang!

The two parted on bad terms. Shimura Danzo left the Hokage's office with a gloomy expression. He hadn't expected that Yamanaka Yokaze, that good-for-nothing, couldn't even handle such a small matter.

Not only did they fail to eliminate Chiba, but they also exposed his plot to throw Sunagakure into chaos. He truly deserves to die!

"Lord Danzo, what should we do next?"

When the Root ninjas who were accompanying him saw Shimura Danzo come out, they quickly followed him and asked in a low voice.

"What should we do? Do nothing! Let's wait until this is over!"

"Shimura Danzo said angrily, because of that idiot Yamanaka Yofu, most of his power was just taken away by Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

"Go, get me ten million taels of silver, and put a bounty on that Chiba!"

The mountain night wind had died, and Danzo's pent-up anger had nowhere to go but to vent on Chiba.

"Lord Danzo, is the bounty only ten million taels?"

"Nonsense! I still need to find a way to compensate Sunagakure for its losses!"

When questioned by his subordinates, Danzo angrily retorted.

Once he gets back, he'll probably have to empty the Shimura clan's coffers over the years to barely give Hiruzen Sarutobi a number that will satisfy him.

……

Chiba was unaware of all this. He led several beautiful female envoys from Sunagakure back to Konoha with plenty of food, drink, and entertainment along the way.

As soon as they entered the village, they were invited to the Hokage's office by two ninjas.

"Chiba, you handled this matter very well."

Looking at the young man before him, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, "If it weren't for you, Konoha would not only have lost an ally, but also gained an enemy!"

"That's right. No one in Sunagakure or Konoha has suspected me. Hehe, you're a fool now, Shimura Danzo."

Chiba sneered inwardly, feeling a small sense of satisfaction.

If he weren't currently lacking in strength, he would have already stormed into Root and executed Shimura Danzo by hanging him up and slowly tearing him to pieces.

That bastard! He does nothing but harm his own people all day long!

"I just did my duty, Lord Sandai."

Chiba spoke shyly, emphasizing the word "duty," which was indeed a veiled reference to Shimura Danzo.

"Chiba, you don't need to be modest. You deserve a lot of credit for Konoha's alliance with Sunagakure this time."
