Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

and so.

……

If Chiba takes action, it should be easy to find out whether those traitors in Sunagakure are being manipulated!

Luo Sha stood up.

"It's possible. I found them on the ninjas in Kumogakure before."

"Let's go."

He was surprised, but more than that, he felt...

Kai led the others out, leaving only Rasa and Chiba in the room, while the rest of the ANBU ninja from Sunagakure stood guard at the door.

Chiyo Masashido.

inside the house.

Luo Sha paused for a second, then leaned closer, "Do you think it could be one of those kinds of creatures?"

"disturbed?"

Rasa now seems to have completely let go of the past, and has no intention of competing with Konoha, making him easier to get along with.

"Yes, we feel something is wrong with this situation. Although the other party claims it's a betrayal, Chiyo-senpai said it's a bit strange. We would like to ask you to take a look and see if he might be being controlled by the Akatsuki organization."

Luo Sha did not hide anything and explained the whole story, including the embarrassing fact that some people thought he was not qualified to become the Kazekage.

Having them around is mostly just for maintaining superficial order; it's meaningless otherwise.

Whether the Anbu ninjas protect him or not makes no difference. In any case, if Konoha wants to kill the Kazekage, given Chiba's previous display of strength, they probably wouldn't be able to hold him off.

After a moment of contemplation, Rasa said, "Chiba-kun, you must have heard about what happened in our Sunagakure during the exam. Although the exam was successfully held, Gaara was targeted, which makes us very uneasy."

"I don't know. Something suddenly went wrong. It seems like someone is remotely controlling ninjutsu to kill him."

After bringing Luo Sha inside.

He could guess some of it.

"Chiba-kun, let's go take a look first, lest we run away. After all, our Sunagakure village hasn't fully mastered it yet and doesn't have the ability to conduct perfect reconnaissance."

He was still very curious about what would happen next.

This person's memory is probably faulty too. It's unlikely that you can find the problem in their memory. You can just look for the needle in their head.

At that time, Chiba even discovered the White Zetsu.

did not expect.

After hearing this, Chiba had a general idea.

The room was silent.

Having devised a plan, he and Luo Sha arrived at the Fengying Building.

really.

His memory was completely blank.

"The memory has been destroyed."

"Sure enough, I felt something was wrong. After the memory was destroyed, we were unable to find any trace of him, but there is no doubt that he betrayed us on my orders."

Chiyo said angrily, "There aren't many people capable of doing something like that."

"Sister, isn't it a bit too early to say that?"

"Could it be someone else?"

Chiyo glanced at them coldly, feeling extremely disappointed.

Although I had heard from Chiba that Sasori was also in Akatsuki, the feeling of actually confirming it in my heart was still different, like...

It felt like being stabbed with a knife.

Chiyo was silent for a few seconds, at which point Chiba added a sentence.

"It's almost certain that it's someone from the Akatsuki organization, but I've never seen this kind of method before. I'm sure that kind of creature wouldn't do that."

As Chiba spoke, he formed hand seals, and a chakra vortex appeared in his hands.

Ebizo, a mystery that remains unsolved for centuries.

The next moment, they saw a small bloody hole appear on the forehead of the corpse that had already lost all signs of life.

This is?

Chiyo and Ebizo exchanged a glance, then looked together at Chiba's palm.

A tiny needle appeared in Chiba's hand.

It was so small that it was almost invisible to the naked eye. Even as ninjas, they searched for a long time before they finally saw the object in Chiba's palm.

of course.

This is related to their senility and loss of consciousness.

Chiba lifted up.

After thinking for a moment, Rasa said, "Given the abilities of the Akatsuki members, I think Lady Chiyo's guess might be correct."

"Ah."

Chiyo closed her eyes in anguish.

This kind of technique...

While other villages may also practice it, there is no doubt that the village of Sunagakure, which excels in puppetry, has mastered it the most.

Chiba pondered for a long time, then uttered a sentence.

"Speaking of which, when did the Third Kazekage disappear?"

"Ok?"

Luo Sha looked at him warily.

Why bring up the Third Kazekage at this time?

The reason why Sunagakure and Konoha started the war was because the Third Kazekage disappeared. The matter was eventually dropped because Sunagakure was defeated.

Now Chiba mentions...

Could it be that they want to bring up old issues to benefit Konoha?

He thought about it and sadly realized that even if Chiba did this, Sunagakure seemed to have no way to deal with it. Faced with Konoha and external threats, unless Sunagakure completely opened up, it would be restrained by Konoha.

of course.

If Konoha goes too far, even if he gives up, he won't let Konoha get away with it.

"Chiba, what do you mean?"

"Oh, don't misunderstand, I'm not deliberately bringing up the past to demand an explanation for the war back then. Let's put the war back then aside for now. This time, I'm mainly thinking about a possibility."

Chiba crouched down, looking at the corpse. "Chiyo-senpai, you are a master of puppetry and an expert in medical ninjutsu. You should know how difficult it is to perform this kind of technique, right?"

"Ah."

Chiyo nodded, her voice low, "To develop this kind of technique, he must have killed a great many people and conducted numerous live experiments."

"Orochimaru was also expelled because of human experimentation, but what I want to say is that this technique itself is a type of puppetry, except that normal puppetry is controlled by threads, while this one controls people."

Chiba said solemnly, "I suspect that Sasori may be researching human puppets."

"Human puppet?"

Ebizo was somewhat surprised, then paused, nodded, and said, "He did research new puppets for a while, but it should be... impossible, this, this..."

He initially tried to argue, but later he himself felt that Scorpion might be researching human puppets.

in particular.

Now this technique has emerged.

The forbidden art of controlling living people is actually similar to a puppetry technique, and it requires extensive human research. The research process of human puppets happens to provide such conditions.

It's just a byproduct.

Chiyo, feeling heavy-hearted, continued speaking, following Chiba's lead.

"You suspect that the Third Kazekage was actually killed by Sasori?"

"A conjecture."

Chiba nodded.

Ebizo sat down with a thud, his mouth moving, but he couldn't speak for a moment.

He wanted to refute it, but couldn't find a reason to do so.

The other party's speculation is quite reasonable...

They even felt that this might be the case, otherwise why hadn't the Wind Shadow been found yet?

"We in Konoha have absolutely no reason to kill him, because although the Kazekage is powerful, he is not incapable of being dealt with; it just requires some sacrifice."

Chiba said calmly, "At that time, Konoha was in a dangerous situation, and there was no need to do such a thing."

"Ahem, let's not talk about the Third Kazekage. Hmm, Chiba-kun, you think the Third Kazekage was killed by Sasori, but Sasori couldn't have been a match for the Third Kazekage at that time, right?"

Luo Sha said.

This is what he finds strange.

Puppet masters are very strong, but if the puppets they create are made of iron, it will be difficult for them to defeat the Third Kazekage.

Magnet Release is the nemesis of Puppet Technique!

"What if it's poison?"

Chiyo sighed, "Sasori is also skilled in poisons, but his puppetry skills are even stronger, and the Third Kazekage won't use his full strength right away."

after all.

He is his own grandson.
