Born with a great love for the Uchiha

Problems such as declining physical fitness and chakra depletion due to aging.

It's nothing to a puppeteer.

The reason why Granny Chiyo was unwilling to become the Kazekage was mainly because of that thought that had just flashed through her mind.

A person capable of silently assassinating the Fourth Kazekage and turning him into a puppet...

There are very few people like that in the entire ninja world.

If you absolutely need to be precise down to the number.

The Second Kazekage is one of them.

Granny Chiyo is one of them.

In the end, there is only...

'scorpion……'

Granny Chiyo sighed again, then waved to the other high-ranking members of Sunagakure, signaling that they could leave.

"I will attend the Five Shadows Summit as the new representative."

Upon hearing Granny Chiyo's final decision, the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure hurriedly turned and left the rooftop of the Kazekage Building.

Fearing that if they were even a step too slow, Granny Chiyo would drag them to the Land of Iron.

In the blink of an eye.

Only two people remained on the rooftop of the Fengying Building.

Chiyo, and her younger brother, Ebizo.

"The village now is no longer the village it used to be..."

With a sigh, Ebizo looked on with concern, and after a moment of reflection, turned his gaze to his sister.

"Sister, what are you worried about?"

"In my opinion, that Fifth Hokage, who is a bit too young, is relatively easy to talk to."

"I don't care about that Uchiha brat!"

Grandma Chiyo didn't need to hide her emotions in front of her younger brother.

"What I care about is Rasa's death! Perhaps... perhaps there's also the disappearance of the One-Tailed Jinchuriki."

"The dead cannot be brought back to life."

Ebizo, on the other hand, takes it all in stride; his personality is naturally optimistic.

"As for Gaara... let the rest of the village go and find him."

"You still don't understand what I mean."

Granny Chiyo took out a scroll from her ninja tool bag. It was a puppet summoning scroll that sealed the [White Secret Technique: Chikamatsu Ten].

"Luo Sha's death is too suspicious..."

"The Fourth Kazekage, in his death, was able to leave behind a complete corpse, except that his heart was ripped out, and his body was used as a puppet..."

"You suspect..."

Upon hearing this, Ebizo frowned immediately.

"The one who assassinated the Fourth Hokage wasn't Kakuzu, the S-rank rogue ninja the Fifth Hokage mentioned?"

"What right does a rogue ninja from Takigakure have to know the Kazekage's intelligence and movements?"

Grandma Chiyo chuckled, then revealed her guess.

What I'm worried about is... the scorpion.

"Furthermore, Sasori may not only have targeted Rasa, but he may have also harmed Rasa's child..."

scorpion?

Ebizo's eyes widened instantly.

The name he hadn't heard for years immediately stirred his emotions.

Scorpion is his sister's grandson, and also his grandson.

Like Chiyo, Ebizo once had high hopes for Sasori.

But in the end, the siblings were met with disappointment.

Back then, the Third Kazekage disappeared unexpectedly, and Sasori also left the village.

When Chiyo and Ebizo heard Sasori's name again, everything had changed.

The opponent has transformed into Sasori of the Red Sand, an S-rank rogue ninja who used puppetry to conquer a country.

Ebizo never expected to hear Sasori's name again from his sister's mouth at this moment.

Furthermore, the older sister connected Sasori with the death of the Fourth Kazekage and the disappearance of the One-Tailed Jinchuriki...

Ebizo calmed down and thought things through carefully.

Then, to his great sorrow, he discovered...

Sasori of the Red Sand certainly had the ability to assassinate the Kazekage and kidnap the One-Tailed Jinchuriki.

Even if we don't consider family ties.

Ebizo's reason told him.

Perhaps only Scorpion could do this!

It is perfectly reasonable from any perspective for an S-rank rogue ninja from Sunagakure to attack the Fourth Kazekage and the One-Tailed Jinchuriki.

And this is not without evidence.

Kakuzu's mask is the evidence!

If Ebizo remembers correctly.

According to information provided by Konoha regarding the official members of the Akatsuki organization.

Sasori and Kakuzu both belong to the Akatsuki organization!

Kakuzu took the Fourth Hokage's heart and made it into a mask.

This is news personally confirmed by the Fifth Hokage.

So Sasori assassinated the Fourth Hokage and turned the latter's corpse into a puppet...

That makes perfect sense!

only……

A thunderbolt suddenly flashed through Ebizo's mind.

"Sister, Sasori, did you really only assassinate the Fourth Hokage?"

Chiyo, immersed in grief over her grandson's heinous crime, was momentarily unable to keep up with her younger brother's train of thought.

What are you trying to say?

What I wanted to say was...

Ebizo looked at the older woman and slowly uttered three words.

"Sandaime."

Chiyo's pupils suddenly contracted.

The third generation?

The year Sasori left the village, the Third Kazekage mysteriously disappeared.

This led to the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War.

Before today.

Granny Chiyo never connected Sasori with the Third Kazekage.

But Ebizo's words suddenly jolted her awake.

If her speculation is correct, then it really was Scorpion who assassinated the Fourth Hokage.

Could it be that many years ago, it was also Sasori who assassinated the Third Hokage without anyone noticing?

"If that's really the case..."

A complex mix of emotions surfaced on Chiyo's wrinkled, aged face, including pain and self-reproach.

"We are the sinners of the village..."

Chapter 286 [Limbo: Border Prison]! Super Shadow Clone Technique!

The land of wind, a desert of no one.

Uchiha Gen's figure instantly appeared in a golden sea of ​​sand.

After handing over everything he needed to to the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure, he went directly to this vast sea of ​​sand.

The Fifth Hokage didn't care what decision Sunagakure would make.

For him, the matter of Sunagakure had come to a temporary end.

Meanwhile, the two [Lightning Illusionary Bodies] are still searching for Orochimaru and Sasori, respectively, but have not yet found anything.

It's time for Uchiha Gen to deal with his personal issues.

【A Heart of Great Love】, activated!

Gen Uchiha summoned his own panel and checked the number of Love Points he had saved.

After the accumulation of the previous days, plus the sniping during the Five Shadows Summit.

Uchiha Gen's current Love Points reserve has exceeded 300 million!
