Chapter 115 The Sand Village Upheaval
Rewind one day, and when news of Orochimaru's injury and Tsunade's "betrayal" reached Sunagakure, the entire village was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
She no longer fishes for Ebizo or performs the Chiyo dance.
The two semi-retired elders rushed to Fengying's office, both seemingly displaying the spirit of "an old horse in its stall still aspires to gallop a thousand miles" and "I can borrow another five hundred years from heaven."
They were having a heated discussion about what they could do with this situation and whether they could help Sunagakure gain a decisive advantage on the main battlefield.
When he got excited, Luo Sha took off his Wind Shadow Hat and slammed it on the table, as if he wanted to fight on the table.
Just as the discussion was in full swing, a Sunagakure ANBU ninja suddenly appeared, knelt down to report, and interrupted the high-level meeting.
"Lord Kazekage, something terrible has happened!"
"What happened?"
"Yakura is back!"
At this moment, Luo Sha, still brimming with intense emotions, showed no fear. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "That rogue ninja, she actually dares to come back?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to Fengying's office was kicked open.
Ye Cang strode into the office with an imposing air, carrying a huge scroll on his back and dragging a humanoid creature wrapped in a silkworm cocoon behind him.
"Tell me, who is the rogue ninja?"
In an instant, the once lively meeting seemed to have been abruptly paused.
Everyone turned to look at the doorway without prior arrangement.
Luo Sha stood up angrily and demanded, "Ye Cang, you dare to come back?!"
However, the two elders, who were already experienced in life, immediately noticed that something was wrong. Chiyo quickly gave Rasa a look, signaling him to calm down.
Rasa's previous decision to label Pakura a rogue ninja was indeed biased, and they had always known that a small number of ninjas in the village supported Pakura.
However, this doesn't explain why Yekura was able to walk unimpeded all the way to the Kazekage's office today!
Moreover, Ye Cang, who entered the room, didn't even show many signs of fighting!
What exactly happened outside? How did Yekura get close to the Kazekage's office?
Many thoughts raced through the minds of the two elders.
They were clearly much more experienced than the impulsive Rasa. While keeping the Kazekage calm, they also secretly signaled the ANBU ninjas at the door to quickly go outside and gather information.
They had a premonition that the visitors today might be up to no good.
But before the ANBU could return from their reconnaissance, Yekura spoke first: "Why can't I come back? What makes you think I'm a rogue ninja?"
"Of course, it's because I'm the Kazekage now!" Rasa stepped forward proudly and forcefully.
But today, Yekura, who suddenly returned, acted out of character, refusing to give an inch.
"Who decided you were the Kazekage?"
"Cough cough."
Ebizo coughed twice and quickly tried to ease the tension.
"As we all know, the Third Kazekage died suddenly. At that time, the village was in crisis, so the two elders jointly recommended Rasa to be the Fourth Kazekage. This matter was also decided by the Jonin class at the time."
"Ye Cang, you can speak out if you have any grievances. Since you're back today, we can give you a chance to defend yourself. But questioning the Kazekage's authority is a blatant disrespect to the village!"
Ebizo's words were clearly far more sophisticated than Rasa's, combining offense and defense to both uphold the Kazekage's authority and give Yekura a way out.
Unfortunately, his superb language skills are destined to be useless today.
No matter what tricks he tried, Yecang defeated him in one move.
She lifted the silkworm pupa she was dragging behind her and stepped on it.
"Why do you two old geezers have the right to nominate a new Kazekage? And have you even investigated how the Third Kazekage died?"
At this moment, a large crowd had gathered at the entrance of Fengying's office!
The two elders noticed that almost all the Jonin who remained in the village had gathered around.
Even the ANBU ninjas who had been hinted to investigate remained at the door, adopting an attitude of eagerly awaiting the truth and waiting for developments, no longer responding to their gazes.
What exactly happened? The two elders' hearts skipped a beat, and their hearts suddenly pounded.
Until, when Yekura revealed the answer—
She peeled open the head of the silkworm pupa and simultaneously snapped the scroll behind her, releasing a special puppet.
At that moment, after a brief silence, the area in front of the Fengying office erupted in chaos!
In an instant, it felt as if five thunderbolts had struck the heads of the two elders, Chiyo and Ebizo!
The shock nearly made them faint and they almost collapsed to the ground.
"My God! That's—the Third Kazekage!"
"The Third Kazekage has been turned into a puppet?! Who did this?!"
"Is that a scorpion on the ground? Sasori of the Red Sand! Elder Chiyo's grandson!"
"Sasori killed the Third Kazekage?! What Lady Pakura said was actually true?!"
Soon, through the discussion among the Sand Village ninjas at the entrance, the two elders finally resolved the doubts that had been troubling them.
Why was Yekura able to walk unimpeded and unharmed to the Kazekage's office after returning to the village today?
The answer is now quite clear!
She has grasped the key to breaking the deadlock!
The moment the cards were revealed, the balance of power in this dialogue instantly reversed!
Yekura pressed on, demanding, "So, how exactly did the Third Hokage die? Elder Chiyo, Elder Ebizo, do you dare say you really didn't know?"
After that, Yekura no longer needed to do anything.
All she has to do is frame all the chips and pass them over.
The three opponents were no match for them!
"Elder Chiyo, your grandson killed the Third Kazekage, yet you helped cover up the truth! What right do you have to recommend the next Kazekage?"
"Luo Sha, what makes you think you can become the Wind Shadow with the support of these two elders who are protecting the murderer?"
"Today, tell me clearly: who are the traitors, and who are the heroes!"
At that moment, Ye Cang pulled out a chair and sat down with a flourish, one arm on the table and one foot on the scorpion on the ground.
His sitting posture exudes domineering power!
"I'm not back today to brag about how amazing I was for catching the scorpion, but to prove that everything I've lost, I will take back with my own hands!"
On that day, countless ninjas gathered at the entrance of the Kazekage's office witnessed this earth-shattering scene!
Luo Sha stepped back, turned his head, and unintentionally caught a glimpse of the Wind Shadow Hat that he had excitedly thrown down at the meeting not long ago, on a table not far from him.
By sheer coincidence, less than ten minutes after he threw down the straw hat, everything changed.
Just minutes earlier, when he was arguing fiercely with two elders in this room, he could never have imagined that when he casually took off the straw hat he had thrown away, it would seem he would never have the chance to take it back and put it on again.
Everything seemed to have been foreshadowed!
The sky over Sunagakure is about to change!
These past few days, all the ANBU intelligence agents who have been gathering information throughout the ninja world have had a real treat of gossip.
They witnessed firsthand a major transformation unprecedented since the establishment of the Shinobi Village system!
Just one day apart, they witnessed the tragic exits of two actors!
He didn't die in battle, nor did he retire; he abdicated!
This strange phenomenon, which has never occurred in the past fifty years, has recently happened on two consecutive days in a row!
Following the Third Hokage of Konoha, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure has also announced his abdication!
The ninja world was once again shaken to an unprecedented degree!
