Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

This alliance is of great importance, so of course an envoy must be sent to deliver it to Sunagakure in person.

Is there anyone more suitable to go to Sunagakure than Hiiragi Hato?

Rei Amamiya wore a malicious smile.

He handed the scroll to Hiiragi, who put it into her ninja tool pouch and left the Hokage's office.

Five days later.

Yellow sand filled the sky.

The figure of Hibiki slowly emerged from the yellow sand.

The wind whipped her hair, and she reached out to shield her face from the oncoming yellow sand.

The familiar gate of Sunagakure Village stood before her, just ten meters away.

The heatwave caused the gate of Sunagakure Village to twist and deform.

A row of figures stood neatly arranged at the entrance of Sunagakure Village.

The scorching sunlight was so intense that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

However, Temari was still able to see the person's appearance clearly.

Temari's expression changed immediately.

Kankuro, standing beside her, glanced nervously at Temari and Gaara, fearing that the two of them might mess things up at this crucial moment.

As Hiiragi Yoru's figure drew closer, Ebizo and Granny Chiyo stepped forward to greet her.

The sound of the waves is ancient yet powerful and vigorous, showing no signs of fatigue.

"The envoy from Konoha has come from afar, thank you for your hard work!"

Hiiragi stood in front of Ebizo and Granny Chiyo.

Looking at Hiiragiha's familiar face, Ebizo and Granny Chiyo's expressions remained unchanged.

They are all seasoned veterans, so naturally they wouldn't lose their composure on the spot because of this.

Then wouldn't all these decades have been wasted?

"Thank you for your help, elders."

Hiiragi said politely.

Chiyo couldn't help but snort inwardly.

Hiiragi Yoru said this on the surface, but there was no humility in his eyes at all.

Gaara, standing behind Ebizo and Granny Chiyo, quietly stared at Hiiragiha.

Hiiragi followed Ebizo and Granny Chiyo into Sunagakure and headed towards the Kazekage Building.

Upon entering the Kazekage's office, the people from Sunagakure who had come to greet them waited outside the office door. Inside, only Ebizo, Granny Chiyo, and Rasa's three children remained.

They sat down in the office chairs, and Hiiragi handed the scroll to Chiyo and Ebizo.

"The Hokage has already signed the alliance agreement sent by Sunagakure. Please have the two elders check it."

Chiyo and Ebizo opened the scroll and read it carefully, as if afraid that Rei Amamiya might have secretly added some treaties to it.

After confirming that everything was correct, Chiyo and Ebizo breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at Rei Amamiya's name on the scroll and closed it: "The Hokage will naturally not have any problems with his actions."

Hiiragi didn't speak.

Ebizo stroked his beard with a smile. He was relieved that the alliance between Konoha and Sunagakure had been renewed.

"You've had a long and tiring journey, why don't you rest in Sunagakure for a few more days?"

Ebizo stared intently at Hiiragi, as if afraid that Hiiragi would agree.

If Hiiragi really stays, wouldn't he become someone sent by Konoha to monitor them?

Neither Ebizo nor Chiyo wanted to see Hiiragiha stay.

But we have no choice but to do our best to treat our guests well.

Hiiragi Yoru knew exactly what they were thinking.

"No, I need to rush back to report to the Hokage."

Hiiragi stood up. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Chiyo and Ebizo stood up, their faces beaming with smiles: "Thank you for your trouble, envoy."

Temari jumped up: "I'll escort the messenger!"

Chiyo and Ebizo's expressions changed, and they looked at Temari nervously.

Kankuro immediately stood up and said, "Me too!"

Gaara remained silent.

The main gate of Sunagakure Village.

"No need to send."

Hiiragi glanced at Temari and Kankuro beside her.

Temari clenched her fists and stared fiercely at Hiiragiha.

Watching Hiiragi's departing figure, Temari, unable to contain herself any longer, chased after him and shouted, "You're a spy for Konoha! You've never been sincere with us, have you?"

Hiiragi: "..."

Why are all the kids in Naruto so starved for love?

They grasp at any small act of pity or care as if it were a lifeline, clinging to it desperately.

Hiiragi turned to look at Temari.

She sensed the presence of another chakra.

Gaara hid his body in the shadows.

Is sincerity important?

Hiiragi asked in return.

Temari gritted her teeth.

"Even now, we are still pursuing these illusory things."

A sarcastic look appeared on Hiiragi's face.

"I'll answer your question when you've grown to the point where you can defeat me."

Temari's chakra scent would probably be even better back then!

Hiiragi turned and walked towards the desert.

Her figure was quickly swallowed up by the yellow sand.

Kankuro walked towards Temari and stood beside her. He saw Temari's face, which was covered in tears.

Chapter 474: What kind of person did Danzo train Sai into?

Several colorful phantoms flickered in the dark cave.

As the phantoms flickered, a low voice echoed in the air.

"The mission to capture the Nine-Tails failed?"

The Heavenly Path looked at Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki.

Uchiha Itachi's face remained completely expressionless.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is being guarded by Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, so it's not a good time to attack him."

Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at Itachi Uchiha and added, "Yes, Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, is not to be underestimated. Last time, Itachi and I were almost trapped by him."

Hearing Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki's explanation, Deidara sneered disdainfully, mocking, "That's because you're too weak, isn't it? Useless bastards..."

Itachi Uchiha completely ignored Deidara's words.

Itachi Uchiha seemed not to hear at all.

Kisame Hoshigaki stared at Deidara and chuckled twice, his meaning unclear.

The Akatsuki members were already used to Deidara's personality.

Every time a mission was carried out, no matter who failed, he would stand up and mock them.

At first, some members would clash with Deidara, but later on, everyone just stopped paying attention to him.

“Hey,” Deidara looked at Tendo and patted his chest, “Leave the task of capturing the Nine-Tails to me!”

The gaze of the Heavenly Dao fell upon Deidara.

Before he could speak, Konan reminded him, "Recently, Iwagakure has discovered the disappearance of Jinchuriki, and all the major ninja villages are on alert. Some ninjas have already begun investigating us."

Pain's cold gaze swept over the Akatsuki members, and he said, "Temporarily suspend the mission to capture the Tailed Beasts."

The major ninja villages must not be informed in advance that they are going to capture the Tailed Beasts, otherwise the difficulty of the subsequent capture operation will increase.

"whispering sound."

Deidara's lips curled downwards.

……

Hiiragi returned to Konoha and headed towards the Root.

As she entered the root zone, the bright sunlight from the leaves gradually disappeared behind her, replaced by a chilling aura emanating from the roots.

She went straight into Danzo's office.

Upon seeing her, Danzo immediately stood up and calmly asked, "What are your orders, Hokage-sama?"

Hiiragi walked up to Danzo, flipped through the documents on Danzo's desk, and checked the results of Danzo's actions.

After confirming that nothing was amiss, Hiiragi Yoru's gaze swept over Danzo: "Among the orphans adopted by Root, isn't there one named Sai?"

Danzo recalled for a moment, Sai?

Danzo shook his head.

Looking at Hiiragi, he said expressionlessly, "Root ninjas don't have names, they only have code names."

When Danzo mentioned this, Hiiragi Hato remembered that Sai was a name given to Naruto later when Danzo sent him to Naruto's side.

Hiiragi put it another way: "Is there a child at the root who can materialize the objects drawn on the scroll?"

When Hiiragi said that, Danzo knew who it was.

He searched his memory and recalled the child, nodding: "Yes, he has a very good talent."

He was a promising talent that he was focusing on developing.

"Have someone bring him here."

Hiiragi instructed Danzo.

Danzo stood there, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, looking at Hiiragi Hato: "Is this the Hokage's intention or yours?"

Hiiragi's lips twitched.

The mental suggestion given by Kotoamatsukami was to obey Rei Amamiya's words.

This led to Danzo, who was inflexible, only knowing how to listen to the original body.

"Of course, it's the Hokage's idea."

Hiiragi retorted, "Have you forgotten what the Hokage told you? The Hokage said that my orders represent her orders."

Danzo had no further doubts, nodded, and walked towards the office door.

Hiiragi sat down in Danzo's chair. Not long after, Danzo reappeared in Hiiragi's sight, with a boy following behind him.

The boy's face seemed to be covered by a mask, his smile was so fake it was like a terrifying doll's, the corners of his mouth were upturned, but there was no smile on his face or in his eyes, a typical fake smile.

"He's the one you're looking for."
