Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Maki, Yashamaru, and the Sand Village Jonin were discussing matters outside.

One of the Jonin who hadn't gone to the Shukaku altar said, "The elders were killed by iron sand and poison, weren't they?"

Everyone's not stupid; the horrific scene inside was right there, and Scorpion didn't try to hide the fact that he killed someone this time.

Experienced Jonin could tell how the elders died at a glance.

If it was iron sand, they thought of the Third Kazekage's secret technique; if it was poison, they thought of scorpions.

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in hiding anything anymore. We can still keep things a little secret from the chunin and genin, but we can't hide anything from the jonin.

Maki and the members of the Dark Guard who had visited the Shukaku Altar revealed the truth.

The Third Kazekage didn't disappear; he was killed by Sasori three years ago.

After Sasori killed the Third Kazekage, he turned him into a human puppet.

The elders were killed by Sasori with the help of the Third Kazekage, and the Fourth Kazekage was also killed by Sasori. All the bad things were done by Sasori.

A Jonin from the puppet unit, his face grim, asked, "Was it Uchiha Ryougo who ordered Sasori to do this?"

Maki shook his head: "Doesn't seem like it! Three years ago, Uchiha Ryo was quite well-behaved and didn't have much interaction with Sasori."

"The killing of the Third Kazekage was an operation carried out by Sasori alone."

Immediately, many Jonin became enraged.

If it was Liao Wu who did it, everyone could tolerate it, after all, Liao Wu is from the Land of Fire, a foreigner.

They have no right to interfere in the affairs of foreigners, nor do they have the right to judge them.

Moreover, he was a general under the command of the great boss of the ninja world—Uchiha Madara. Even if he killed the daimyo, they could only accept it.

But Sasori is a ninja from Sunagakure, and his wanted poster was just removed yesterday. Once the wanted poster is removed, he is no longer a rogue ninja, but a ninja of the village.

The foreigners didn't do anything wrong; it was the harm done by their own compatriots that was more chilling.

No matter how fierce the swords and spears of foreign enemies are, they only wound the flesh; but betrayal and stabbing from one's own compatriots go straight into the softest part of the heart.

They share the same blood, wear the same headbands, yet walk on opposite paths.

A commander of the puppet army yawned, "Damn it, Scorpion! I knew it was a ruthless monster!"

The ANBU member retorted, "You know nothing! Sasori is one of your puppet troops. Your puppet troops are the most ruthless unit in Sunagakure."

"Maybe Scorpion learned to be like this from your puppet army."

The puppet army commander pointed at the members of the secret service and yelled, "What did you say? Does your secret service ever leave any survivors?"

"When the secret forces march, not a blade of grass survives. There is no surrender, only reincarnation."

"It is said that ant nests will be doused with boiling water, earthworms will be split vertically, eggs will be shaken until the yolks are broken, and stray dogs passing by will be slapped twice."

"Bullshit! We in the Dark Division are here to do charity work."

Yashamaru watched the puppet troops and the Anbu arguing and didn't know what to say.

A person's tragedy may be a tragedy of their character or a tragedy of their surrounding environment.

Growing up in the oppressive and extreme environment of Sunagakure, these ninjas would likely become murderous monsters if placed in the civilian world.

This is also why ninjas try to hide deep in the mountains and forests and avoid contact with ordinary people.

They are a group of people who walk in the darkness and do dark things.

However, the conflict between the puppet troops and the secret service was not just a matter of loyalty; it also involved the factions behind them.

The Dark Division is the sword of Rasa and the Elders, dedicated to working for the higher-ups.

Both Granny Chiyo and Sasori served as commanders of the puppet army.

Sasori also made a name for himself in the puppet army and was known as the genius puppeteer of Sunagakure and the god of puppets in ancient Greece.

The puppet army bears a strong resemblance to Scorpion. Each member of the puppet army is an extremely wicked person who associates with poison and puppets. Scorpion's cruelty has probably been assimilated by the puppet army.

Sasori killed the Third Kazekage, the Fourth Kazekage, and an elder of the Elder Council.

These people were all superiors of the secret service, and all of them had been kind to them.

If you can't deal with Scorpion, can't you at least deal with your puppet army?

Seeing that the secret service and the puppet troops were about to fight, Maki quickly calmed things down, saying, "Everyone, stop arguing. The most important thing right now is to stay united."

"Tomorrow is the day Konoha will hold the Five Kage Summit. We must elect a new Kazekage to participate in the Five Kage Summit."

The members of the Anbu and the Jonin of the puppet army all put aside their hostile attitudes.

They're all adults; they should be able to weigh things carefully before making decisions.

The current environment is really not suitable for internal strife.

If we're talking about choosing a Kazekage, given the current situation, it seems only Granny Chiyo and Yokura are capable of the role.

The ANBU member snorted: "The ANBU supports Lady Yekura! Granny Chiyo deceived us before, saying that Uchiha Ryogo killed Rasa. She plans to pin the Sasori incident on Uchiha Ryogo."

"Grandma Chiyo has ulterior motives!"

The puppet army commander shouted, "I think Lady Chiyo is right. If the people from other villages knew that it was Sasori who killed the Third and Fourth Kazekage, I wonder what they would think of us?"

The puppet troops echoed their agreement.

Yes, some things are as light as four ounces on the scale, but as heavy as a thousand pounds on the scale.

Everyone knows about the Third and Fourth Kazekage now, but can we publicize it?

The fact that two generations of Kazekage of the village were killed by the same person, who was also one of their own, is a huge joke. How can outsiders know about this?

It would be better to pin the blame on Uchiha Ryou, since he's now Madara Uchiha's number one villain.

Having a lot of debt is not a burden.

That makes sense!

The members of the Dark Side thought the puppet troops made sense; the truth about the killing of the Third and Fourth Generations and the Elder Council could not be revealed to the public.

The truth of this world is revealed to those at the top; those at the middle or lower levels can simply listen to fake news and criticize hostile forces.

What's the point of knowing so much?

The people may be made to follow a course, but they may not be made to understand it.

As long as people rule over people, even if there is a thousand years of progress, the emperor template will still be used!

That's what the people in the Dark Division think, but they can't say that now that they're arguing with the puppet troops.

"Pah! Your puppet army is Granny Chiyo and Sasori's army, of course you have to speak up for them."

"The matter of the Kazekage can only be decided by Lord Yekura; there's no room for discussion. Besides, Granny Chiyo is already quite old and not suitable to be the Kazekage."

Although Granny Chiyo has regained her youth, she explains it as a secret technique, and everyone still thinks that Granny Chiyo is old.

At almost sixty years old, he's still serving as the Wind Shadow. Does this old man really think he's making selfless contributions?

Isn't this just old people trying to compete with young people for positions?

"Bah! How could little Yekura compare to Lady Chiyo, who has served three Kazekage?"

"Your words are nonsense. Granny Chiyo served one generation, and the Kazekage died with that generation. The Third and Fourth Kazekage were both killed by her grandsons. How could Granny Chiyo have become the Kazekage?"

"How dare you speak of Lady Chiyo like that? You'll be in for a world of hurt when Sasori returns."

Maki and Yashamaru exchanged a glance, both seeing the headache in each other's eyes.

Although they are also part of the Dark Division, the current situation makes it impossible to completely side with the Dark Division.

Without Granny Chiyo holding things together, this village would have fallen apart sooner or later.
