Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

"Alas!" Elder Haibao shook his head slightly, sighed deeply, and slowly said, "I am also aware that you are dissatisfied with our contact with the Daimyo, but I came to this conclusion after consulting my sister."

"What? Elder Chiyo actually supports this?" Elder Ebizo nodded solemnly to the elders present and said.

“That’s right. My sister sent me a message from Birukho, saying that it might be more appropriate for us to back down.”

Do you think that continuing this stalemate would be a good thing for Sunagakure?

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The village of Sunagakure is indeed facing an unprecedented predicament.

The Fourth Kazekage died under mysterious circumstances, plunging Sunagakure into chaos with no leader and everyone having their own plans.

Some people want to take advantage of the situation to integrate Sunagakure into the Land of Wind and seek new protection.

Some people stubbornly cling to the old system and are unwilling to make changes.

Some ninjas with ulterior motives even defected, dealing a heavy blow to Sunagakure.

For Sunagakure, this was undoubtedly the most dangerous moment in its history.

Moreover, at this critical moment of internal and external troubles, Sunagakure couldn't find a single ninja suitable to serve as the Fifth Kazekage.

Ebizo shook his head helplessly, his voice full of bitterness: "The crisis has been looming over Sunagakure for many years. The number of ninjas the village can boast today is worlds apart from my sister's reputation."

"The younger generation doesn't even have many people who know them, let alone have the ability to lead Sunagakure."

Moreover, my sister was left with Beiliuhu and Xie, and won't be back for a while. As for what happened next, you all know the answer to that.”

"If I had to use one word to describe the current situation of Sunagakure, it would be 'old, weak, sick, and disabled,'" Ebizo paused, then continued.

"There is not a single ninja who can stand alone and has enough prestige."

Putting aside other conditions, it's simply impossible to find someone who meets the required strength and can subdue other ninjas.

The only ones they can really boast about are Jonin like Maki; the village has absolutely no Kage-level ninjas.

The promising young talents are far too young.

Even the third son of Rasa, who was once a Jinchūriki, had not yet been born.

At this time, there was not a single ninja who could take over the heavy responsibility and carry the banner of Sunagakure. It was truly a tragic situation.

"When did our Sunagakure village fall to this level? We used to be one of the Five Great Nations."

"We failed to find a suitable successor, which resulted in a heavy loss of power. There are very few outstanding talents, and even a few ninjas who have learned Magnet Release have left."

Another elder said with deep emotion, "The biggest problem facing Sunagakure right now is the lack of successors."

“Previously regarded by Shukaku as the strategic core of Sunagakure…” An elder’s words came to an abrupt halt, and a solemn atmosphere filled the meeting room.

Today, Sunagakure is suffering from a severe shortage of talent, and there is a puzzling and tragic phenomenon that many excellent ninjas have attempted to become Jinchuriki of Tailed Beasts, only to fail and die. This has become one of the main reasons for the village's current predicament.

At that moment, the ninjas overheard two companions having a pessimistic conversation.

One of his companions sighed and echoed Elder Ebizo's words: "That's right, we don't even have the ability to protect ourselves or kill the enemy. It's really not advisable to have a conflict with the daimyo right now."

Currently, Chiyo is the most suitable person to lead Sunagakure; the others are indeed lacking.

But now Chiyo wants to be with her grandson in her final moments, and we can't stop her.

Another bald elder, his face full of regret, recalled the past and muttered to himself, "If I hadn't let Ye Cang walk into that abyss, would the ending have been different?"

"Give me three more years, no, even just a little more time, and I will absolutely not let Sunagakure fall to this state."

His words echoed in the empty conference room, filled with endless regret.

The elders beside him remained silent, each of them experiencing a surge of emotions.

Ebizo frowned. He understood that Sunagakure's current predicament was not the fault of any one person.

But now is not the time to dwell on the past. He said softly, "Don't regret the past. Let's live in the present."

Just as the elders were nodding in agreement, a ninja rushed in, knelt on one knee, and said urgently, "Elder Ebizo, the tea cauldron that stores the tailed beast's chakra has been stolen!"

Because no suitable Jinchuriki could be found to inherit the power, the Tailed Beast's chakra was sealed in a teapot.

"What? What did you say!" Ebizo suddenly stood up. Before he could ask any more questions, a huge roar, accompanied by a rumbling sound like the earth being drilled, resounded throughout the entire Sunagakure village.

"Hahahaha, I'm out again!" This familiar voice made Ebizo sigh – Shukaku had been released once again.

When Shukaku, the tailed beast that had severely injured Sunagakure and was regarded as a weapon of war, prepared to break free from its restraints, the future of Sunagakure's young people was completely shattered.

The village, which should have been full of hope, vanished into thin air amidst deafening roars.

Shukaku's enormous body slowly rose from the sand dunes, and its appearance caused the entire Sand Village to tremble.

With each roar, the sky suddenly darkened, thick clouds gathered, and an extremely powerful, chilling chakra filled the air.

Shukaku exudes an aura of violence and destruction. With a mere sweep of its yellow sand tail, a large area of ​​houses is instantly reduced to ruins.

The storm blew nearby residents away, and their cries for help carried far: "Help me! Help me! No, my son!"

"Hahahaha, people of Sunagakure, taste my wrath!"

As the Shukaku rampages through the village, its roars mingle with the screams of the people, creating a scene of utter devastation.

The residents of Sunagakure Village were in a panic and fled in all directions, trying to escape the disaster.

The streets were filled with dust and chaos.

The surrounding Sand Village ninja reacted quickly and rushed towards Shukaku.

Although they knew that their power was insignificant in the face of a terrifying being like Shukaku, they did not back down in the slightest, because this was their home, and they had to protect it.

Under Shukaku's rampage, Sunagakure was as fragile as paper, its ability to block the ninjas' attacks vanishing in an instant.

Shukaku's destruction was like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves; the entire Sand Village trembled under its rage. This situation continued until the Anbu and Jonin rushed to the scene.

"All Jonin, go to the west side of the area and quickly evacuate the crowd with the others! Hurry! Hurry!" the Jonin captain shouted, directing the group's actions.

The ninjas, who kept gathering, gradually reduced the area of ​​Shukaku's destruction under the leadership of the Anbu.

However, without the Fourth Kazekage in charge and lacking the decisive factor, Sunagakure struggled against Shukaku.

In the midst of this chaos, a vortex suddenly appeared in a space, and Obito Uchiha emerged from it.

He had been in Sunagakure for some time, and now, seeing the ever-changing situation and the increasing destructive power of Shukaku, he decided to take action to avoid any unforeseen circumstances and to find a possible opportunity.

Obito intended to take advantage of the situation to control Shukaku, but he didn't expect to encounter two problems at the last moment.

He first turned to the left, and a familiar figure slowly emerged from the shadows—it was Black and White Jue.

Obito's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "Why is this guy back? There's been no news from Black and White Zetsu, and his purpose for this trip is unclear."

Obito turned around again, his eyes narrowing slightly behind the mask.

Suddenly, a fireball formed behind him and shot towards him, but it passed straight through Obito's body.

Obito turned around and slowly looked at the one who released the fireball—Yakura, who was floating in the air, staring at him coldly without responding to Obito's gaze, her face as cold as frost.

Although Obito knew that Pakura was there, the fact that she made a move at this time was indeed somewhat unexpected.

However, he also understood that the various daimyo were worried that there were disgruntled people in Sunagakure who might try to assassinate them, so they had transferred some of their loyal men to protect them.

They were also worried that other forces might take action at this time, so they sent a lot of people to the border for defense.

Furthermore, the Sand Village lacks a powerful Jinchūriki, making its defenses extremely weak.

So when a powerful ninja invaded and released Shukaku, Sunagakure was instantly thrown into chaos; probably no one would have expected such a thing to happen.

Yekura secretly pondered to herself that Sunagakure was now extremely fragile, yet it still couldn't suppress its arrogance.

Chapter 185 The God of the New World!

Now, Shukaku has broken free from the shackles of a Jinchūriki and is running rampant in Sunagakure.

Without the restraint of its Jinchūriki, this Tailed Beast's destructive power is as uncontrollable as a wild horse.

The Sand Village has paid a heavy price to deal with it, with countless houses destroyed and many ninjas killed or wounded.

Even now, the village has not been able to find a suitable Jinchuriki, and there is no trace of a ninja like the Fourth Hokage of Sunagakure who can suppress the situation and turn the tide.

Left with no other choice, they could only try to fill this huge gap with precious lives in an attempt to slow down Shukaku's destruction.

Yecang was filled with resentment. She even felt that even if she had let Rasa return to the village, she would have been fully confident that she could have killed him in front of everyone in Sunagakure and then made a graceful exit.

They're such useless people. Why should I protect such a bunch of useless people?

In this twisted world, Lord Hiruko's ideals are still the most reliable!

In her eyes, these old guys, who dragged the village into such a desperate situation for their own selfish desires, should have been expelled from the ninja ranks and despised by everyone.

At this moment, the setting sun, like a fireball that had burned out, plummeted downwards, and the night, like a huge black curtain, slowly enveloped the earth.

Amidst Shukaku's rampage and destruction, Obito, emerging from the void, confronted Pakura for a moment, the atmosphere so tense it seemed the air itself could ignite.

Yecang's mind raced, a resolute glint flashing in her eyes. She then launched the first attack, her figure flashing like lightning as she rushed towards Obito.

"Hahaha, I've heard! Luo Sha has already perished!"

Shukaku gazed at the disheveled people of Sunagakure, his hateful eyes filled with glee, and his laughter was as piercing as a night owl.

"You ants from Sunagakure, who can stop me now?"

"What right do you have to hate me? Humans imprisoned me for my power and turned me into a tool."

Now they want to control my power and make me vent my anger, yet they blame everything on me. It's utterly ridiculous!

The one who should harbor hatred is me, the one who was imprisoned, persecuted, oppressed, controlled, and trapped in that small cage!

Shukaku's roar echoed through the night sky like rolling thunder, its fury seeming to burn the entire Sand Village to ashes.

The confrontation between Obito and Pakura, and Shukaku's rampage, plunged Sunagakure into an abyss of despair.

The village ninjas were still fighting hard, weapons in hand, their eyes filled with defiance.

But in the face of such a terrifying being as Shukaku, their power seemed so insignificant, like ants trying to shake an elephant.

Obito stared at Shukaku, plotting how to use the chaos to achieve his goals. A sly smile crept onto his lips.

Meanwhile, Yekura kept a close eye on Obito, her eyes filled with vigilance, in case he did something even more outrageous.

The future of Sunagakure became incredibly uncertain at this moment, as if shrouded in a thick gloom, with not a glimmer of hope in sight.

Yiwei finally met an old monk who was unwilling to use his power to open his heart to him, but he was killed and imprisoned until his death.
