My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 184 End of Talks
In the inn where the group from Sand Village are staying.

"Maki."

The Fourth Kazekage took off his bamboo hat and asked, "What is it that requires you to see us?"

His face looked very tired. After the failure of the plan to collapse Konoha, he had been working day and night.

It's really a situation more terrible than death.

If possible, he would like to switch with Maki.

Ebizo sat opposite him, and the two jonin Otonaka and Yura, who were serving as shadow guards this time, stood behind him.

"Regarding the disposal of the Sandaime Kazekage puppet that the village just got." Maki's expression was very serious. "I once exchanged information with Scorpion when I assisted Konoha Village's Link in the battle against the Red Sand Scorpion..."

"Scorpion can repair the Sandaime Kazekage's human puppet and give it the ability to refine iron sand again."

"?!" x3
Even someone as steady as Ebizo had a change in expression.

They all realized what this meant. A puppet appeared that could make puppetry shine again and allow the Sand Village to rise again.

Maki looked at Yura, whose expression didn't change much, and sighed quietly, saying, "Yura, you should be able to contact Scorpion."

That’s right, the contact information that Scorpion gave him was very simple, it was just the name of a spy.

Yura is a jonin who is qualified to join the upper echelons of the Sand Village, and I have known him for many years. I didn't expect...

It is for this reason that he is unwilling to let the information pass through Gaara and the others. With Yura as an example, it is difficult for him to trust everyone in his own village.

"Yes, I can contact Master Scorpion at any time."

Yura said openly without hiding anything, a kunai was already against his neck.

"You bastard!" Yin Feng had an angry expression on his face.

"I see..." Ebizo nodded, probably knowing why Maki insisted on meeting the Kazekage, "It's the Mind-Submerging Sand Manipulation Technique."

He was not unfamiliar with this technique.

The Fourth Kazekage raised his hand and said, "Take him to another room." Even if he was a traitor, he would be dealt with later.

What is more important now is the Sandaime Kazekage puppet, which is the future of the village.

Yinfeng suppressed his anger and obeyed the order to take Yura away without resistance.

Maki did not say anything about this. He just silently repeated the information he had, and after reporting the intelligence network he left behind before his death, he said, "Link from Konoha Village."

He frowned and said, "That kid knows a lot of information that he shouldn't know."

"I suspect he has some secret technique for obtaining intelligence."

"Also, the Pure Land..." He felt a little complicated when talking about this destination of death. There was no concept of time in that place, so Link's mumbling became the only feeling.
For the deceased, it is like someone is nagging in their ears endlessly. How to put it.

It's totally unclean.

But after thinking about it, Maki skipped the topic without any temper and continued, "Temari and Kankuro have grown quite well. If we return to the village, we can consider promoting them. Gaara's seal is very stable. I'm afraid we will need Konoha's help to release the tailed beast again." "They have a close relationship with Link. I suggest you rely on this to increase contact..."

He reported bit by bit what he was thinking while being harassed in the Pure Land, including information about Link, the situation of Gaara and the other two, the changes in Konoha Village, and so on.

Even though he respects the Kazekage very much and is willing to die for him, his actual status is not that low. After all, he is an elite jonin who is qualified to nominate the Kage. He is not an ordinary jonin.

Maki spoke for a long time without noticing, as if he was explaining his last wishes. The two people in the room who were of higher status than him did not speak, but just listened quietly. He estimated the time, stopped talking, and said with a complicated expression:

"I probably won't be able to help the village much in the future, I'm sorry." He has given everything for the village, and even at this moment, he still thinks he is useless.

"Thank you for your hard work." The Fourth Kazekage stood up and bowed.

After a while, Ebizo's voice sounded: "He has left, Lord Kazekage." His expression was calm. He had experienced so many years and seen too many people who gave everything for the village.

It is precisely because of this that the Sand Village has been able to survive to this day in extremely harsh conditions.

"Let's end this meeting and go back to contact Scorpion." As he said this, he grasped the scroll that sealed the Third-Kazekage puppet, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
-
The talks on the second day proceeded as scheduled.

This time, the Fourth Kazekage clearly stood on the side of Konoha, so the talks became one-sided.

Theoretically, after getting some benefits, the Hidden Rain Village should agree to help pacify the River Country. There is no reason not to take the benefits for free.

"I still stick to my previous idea." Hanzo's tone was firm.

"There is no reason for us, the Hidden Rain Village, to pay for the decision of your great country. If the compensation cannot be provided in one lump sum, I will not stop accepting missions related to the Kingdom of Rivers."

His attitude was resolute and a little strange.

The meaning of this sentence is that even facing the threats from two big countries, he will not surrender. He seems to be as tough as the salamander that has supported the Rain Kingdom in the past.

But to Link, it seemed very strange.

Because he knew very well that Hanzo in the comics at this time should have lost his will long ago, squatting in a secret mansion all day, guarded by his subordinates 24 hours a day...

[Here is the biggest problem. Hanzo can't possibly come out to attend the Three Kingdoms Talks. How could an old man who needs a thorough physical examination even to see a child suddenly leave the village and the country? ]

His eyes scanned the five ninjas behind Hanzo.

If you want to disguise yourself as someone else, transformation is the most common method, but it is easy to be seen through. However, Zetsu of Akatsuki organization possesses the most powerful transformation technique, which can even simulate chakra, and even perceptive ninjas cannot see through it.

What if the Hidden Rain Village has been destroyed by this time?
Link guessed calmly in his heart, he didn't intend to expose it or ask Hanzo.

The civil unrest and closed-off Rain Country is an intelligence black hole, and no one probably knows the real situation.

Faced with such a persistent Hanzo, the Sandaime Hokage tried to persuade him, but failed. The talks broke down completely after the Fourth Kazekage insisted that he would send ninjas to prevent the ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village from completing any mission.

No one on Earth expected it to develop into this. Originally, everyone was happy, but now it has turned into the Hidden Rain Village against the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Leaf Village?

Are you kidding me?
But before he could persuade him, the Fourth Kazekage got up and left with his bodyguard Yinfeng, leaving the meeting place in an awkward atmosphere.
