Born with a great love for the Uchiha

"Sunagakure will definitely not be absent from the Five Kage Summit."

"We will select a new representative to participate in the Five-Image Talks as soon as possible."

As for whether this representative might be the Fifth Kazekage...

That's another story.

"ASAP."

Uchiha Gen nodded slightly.

"I will select a suitable person as soon as possible today, and then I will personally take this representative of Sunagakure to the Land of Iron."

The Hokage personally led the way?

Grandma Chiyo's eyelids twitched again.

"No need to trouble the Hokage-sama—"

"It's not a matter of whether it's troublesome or not, it's just that the ninjas of your Sand Village are too slow!"

Uchiha Gen interrupted Granny Chiyo and explained earnestly.

"The shadows from the other villages are still waiting in the Land of Iron!"

"Nobody wants to waste a few days just to wait for your new representative from Sunagakure."

Grandma Chiyo sighed inwardly, but she could only accept reality.

The main issues have been settled, and it wouldn't be appropriate for a group of people to continue staying on the rooftop of the Fengying Building.

"Hokage-sama, you've worked hard."

Granny Chiyo, acting as Sunagakure's temporary spokesperson, politely invited the Fifth Hokage, this uninvited guest, to come and rest.

"The village conditions are simple, I hope the Hokage will not mind."

I won't bother you any longer.

Gen Uchiha waved his hand, and at the same time put the black tentacle connected to the Kazekage's heart mask back into the [Kamui] space.

"Please select new attendees as soon as possible; I have other matters to attend to."

I will be back before evening.

The words fell.

Before Granny Chiyo could say anything more, Gen Uchiha vanished from the spot.

The plague god of Konoha has disappeared.

The Sand Village ninjas, led by Granny Chiyo, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did they leave? Did they leave?"

"The legendary Fifth Hokage truly lives up to his reputation."

"Truly worthy of being called the God of Ninjas of the New Era! Just standing there makes my legs go weak..."

"Don't say such foolish things that boost the morale of others while diminishing our own!"

Granny Chiyo turned around and glared fiercely at the village's useless high-ranking officials.

She forced herself not to think too much about the elusive Fifth Hokage.

"The most urgent task is to select a new representative to attend the Five Shadows Summit!"

Upon hearing this, the rooftop of the Fengying Building immediately fell silent.

The Fourth Kazekage paid with his life to tell the other ninjas of Sunagakure a secret.

Attending the Five Shadows Summit was a life-threatening endeavor!

Furthermore, considering the mess that Luo Sha left behind in the village.

The newly appointed representative will certainly have to face the hostility and pressure from the other villages' shadows when he goes to the Five Shadows meeting!

This is far too dangerous...

The group of high-ranking members of Sunagakure looked at each other, and no one spoke for a long time.

Even the election of the new Sunagakure representative may very well be related to the Fifth Kazekage.

However, not a single high-ranking member of the Sand Village dared to step forward.

The third generation leader mysteriously disappeared.

The fourth generation leader died unexpectedly.

What will the fifth generation encounter...?

The higher-ups in Sunagakure wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

The group looked around, but finally their eyes fell on Granny Chiyo.

Grandma Chiyo's old face twitched a few times.

The 60-year-old woman not only has to guard the village gate, but also fight her way out of the village?

These insects!

Chapter 285 The Sinners of Sunagakure!

"How do you all view this old woman like me..."

Granny Chiyo's gaze slowly swept across the faces of the other high-ranking members of Sunagakure. The sixty-year-old woman was sure to make a startling statement.

"Does this mean they want to nominate me as the Fifth Kazekage?"

Those who are qualified to represent Sunagakure in the Land of Iron to continue participating in the Five Kage Summit.

It's either the official Fengying or the acting Fengying.

Everyone present knew this perfectly well.

But then again...

How could the higher-ups of Sunagakure allow Granny Chiyo, an old woman who has been retired for many years and is almost buried, to become the fifth magistrate of the village?

Let's set aside other issues for now.

The risks associated with Granny Chiyo's age alone are so high that Sunagakure cannot accept them.

"Elder Chiyo."

A high-ranking member of the Sand Village stepped forward, albeit reluctantly.

"The election of the fifth generation leader is of great importance, and we will discuss it later."

"The most urgent task is to meet the Fifth Hokage's request and select a new representative to participate in the Five Kage Summit as soon as possible."

"A new representative, not a new Fengying?"

Grandma Chiyo scoffed, making no attempt to hide her disdain.

"Besides the Kazekage, who else could represent the village?"

"Elder Chiyo."

Another Sand Village ninja stepped forward, seemingly rational, but actually using a strategy of retreat as a means of advancement.

"If you are truly willing to become the fifth generation leader of the village, I think everyone will have no objection."

"After all, apart from you, there is no one else in the village who is qualified and capable of becoming the Kazekage."

Sunagakure cannot compare to Konoha; its talent pool is depleted.

If we're talking about Kage-level powerhouses...

Konoha could field a Kage-level team right away.

But Sunagakure only has Rasa and Chiyo.

It is worth mentioning that.

Rasa and Chiyo happen to have mastered the two most unique inheritances of Sunagakure.

The former possesses the skill of [Magnetic Escape].

The latter was an expert in puppetry.

Unfortunately, Rasa died in a foreign land (from Sunagakure's perspective).

The Fourth Kazekage's [Magnetic Release: Gold Sand] technique can basically be declared extinct.

The Third Kazekage's secret technique, Magnet Release: Iron Sand, has yet to find a suitable successor.

From this point of view.

There is no problem with Granny Chiyo becoming the Fifth Kazekage.

The real problem is...

Does Chiyo, this old woman who has been living in seclusion for many years because of her grandson's defection, really want to become the Kazekage?

After a long silence, Granny Chiyo finally gave her answer to this question.

"...Let's forget about it."

Grandma Chiyo sighed deeply.

Her refusal of the position of Fifth Kazekage was also based on practical considerations.

It's not because of age.

After all, that old geezer Onoki is still the Third Tsuchikage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had only recently retired.

At her current age, there's no major problem with Granny Chiyo becoming the Fifth Kazekage.

Moreover, as a legendary puppeteer, Granny Chiyo's strength was mainly concentrated in puppetry.
