Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

Seeing that the official procedures for both sides had been completed, Chiyo, looking displeased, finally spoke:

"Speaking of which, how is your 'Konoha White Fang' Sakumo Hatake doing?"

Knowing the history of their feud, Kagura paused slightly, but finally nodded reluctantly and said:

"Um... thank you for your concern, he's in pretty good health."

Upon hearing this, Chiyo revealed a sinister smile, almost gritting her teeth as she said:

"is it?

Why don't you Konoha arrange for him to come to Sunagakure next time?

I have such a deep admiration for this 'hero'!

Seeing Chiyo's almost out-of-control expression of resentment, Kagura didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only twitch her lips before remaining silent.

this...

That kid Sakumo Hatake created his own mess, why should I have to face it...?

Moreover, given your current performance, if Sakumo Hatake were to come, you'd probably never be able to return to Konoha.

Kagura believed that even if Sakumo were an envoy representing Konoha and appeared before Chiyo, the woman would not hesitate to attack him.

After all, everyone knows that her son and daughter-in-law died at the hands of Shuo Mao.

As for whether she will be stopped or punished by the Kazekage after she takes action?

That's hard to say.

It's important to know the status of Chiyo and her brother Ebizo in Sunagakure.

It's like a combination of Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Shimura Danzo from Konoha.

It's worth noting that the three individuals mentioned above wielded more power in the original storyline than, to some extent, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was the Hokage.

Such beings would not only be able to kill an ordinary Jonin from another country, but even if they advocated starting a war, the Kazekage would probably be forced to agree.

Of course, unless Sarutobi is senile, he would never send Sakumo Hatake to carry out such a mission.

Seeing Kagura remain silent, Chiyo let out a cold laugh.

Speaking of which, judging from her current appearance, she doesn't seem to have connected Kagura with the owner of the "Ichiraku Ramen" restaurant from back then.

Otherwise, she might not only be venting her anger on Sakumo right now.

Seeing Chiyo's mouth slightly open, as if she still wanted to make things difficult for Kagura and the others, the Kazekage, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up to interrupt:

"Alright, it's getting late."

Time is limited, and it's a rare opportunity for you to come to Sunagakure, so why not take your time to explore our scenery?

Pakula!

As the Kazekage called out, a female ninja walked in from outside the door.

This is a young woman who looks to be in her early twenties.

Like all female ninjas, she possessed an almost perfect and enviable figure.

Beneath that tight-fitting combat suit, her powerful yet feminine lines were on full display.

She has striking birch and green hair, beneath which is a beautiful face.

Looking at the female ninja kneeling on one knee, the Kazekage nodded slightly and gave the order:

“Pakura, today you will show these people around Sunagakure.”

Remember to treat these distinguished guests who have traveled from afar with kindness.

"Yes!"

After Pakula bowed his head in agreement, he went to stand in front of Kagura.

After giving a slight nod, he slowly walked out of the room.

Seeing this, Kagura finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed the female ninja away.

Just as the four of them left the Wind Shadow Building under Napakula's guidance, a pair of eyes were silently observing them from the shadows not far away...

Chapter 23 Enemies in the Dark

Pakula.

(It also has another official name, Yekura.)

Although he was simply assigned by the Kazekage to be a guide for Kagura and the others, he seemed to be just an ordinary ninja.

But in reality, she was a very special Jonin in Sunagakure.

Like Kagura from the Uchiha clan, she is also a ninja with a bloodline limit.

Her bloodline limit is called Scorching Release.

This is a bloodline limit with extremely powerful attack capabilities.

This made her one of the best Jonin in Sunagakure at a young age.

Pakura could guess why the Kazekage had assigned him to lead Kagura and the others.

Although Kagura and the others came to Sunagakure as diplomats from Konoha, the Kazekage and the others still had to be wary of Kagura.

It should be noted that this incident occurred several years ago when a fish was stolen.

Later, Ebizo's investigation revealed the whole story.

The root of the problem still lies with the Sharingan.

Although the one who used the Sharingan at that time was Uchiha Setsuna, who belonged to the Akatsuki organization, and had no connection with Konoha.

Regardless, it gave the higher-ups of Sunagakure a clear understanding of the power of the Sharingan.

Moreover, Kagura in front of us possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan and is hailed as the strongest Sharingan user among the Uchiha clan of Konoha.

You can never be too careful with something like that.

However, what comforted Pakula was...

Kagura herself was probably well aware of how much the people of Sunagakure feared her.

So for the rest of the time, he and the three little ones really acted like ordinary tourists visiting the area.

Obediently following behind Pakura, they began to explore Sunagakure village, visiting each of the locations she had arranged.

It must be said that although Kagura had visited Sunagakure several times before, she was always on a mission.

As Kagura strolled leisurely through Sunagakure with this relaxed attitude, she saw some sights she had never seen before.

The following day, Pakula acted like a dutiful tour guide, leading them on a comprehensive sightseeing tour.

She escorted everyone back to the inn's gate just as the sun was about to set.

To her final relief, Kagura and the others did not raise any objections and obediently entered the post station.

When they parted, the three genin even bowed to her politely to express their gratitude.

After a long day of work, Pakula returned home exhausted.

Although the main purpose of the Kazekage sending her here was to monitor Kagura and the others.

However, on the surface, she still needs to act as a guide.

But as a ninja, she might be good at going out to kill and carry out missions, but this is the first time she's done the job of a tour guide.

I believe that many readers of this book have had similar experiences.

That is, if a friend suddenly says they want to travel to the city where you live and asks you for advice.

You may feel frustrated because you feel that there is nothing worth visiting in your city.

And Pakula is in that state today.

When she finally led Kagura and the others out of the Kazekage Building, she realized that her mind was completely blank about what to do next.

Finally, after a little thought, she reluctantly led Kagura and the others on a tour of the village.

Fortunately, Kagura and the others were very respectful to her.

Especially the three little ones, they always looked surprised and excited no matter where they went.

After finally getting through the day, when Pakula returned home, he felt that today's work was several times more difficult and tiring than when he went out to do his missions.

So when she got home, she didn't even want to eat dinner, and instead just threw herself onto the bed.

She buried her head deep in the pillow; all she wanted to do was get a good night's sleep.

I must say, today is truly a rare day of fine weather.

The strong winds that usually blow so easily have vanished without a trace tonight.

There wasn't even a cloud in the night sky, and the silvery moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the entire Sand Village.

Without the howling of the wind, Sunagakure was unusually quiet tonight.

In this tranquil environment, Pakula, who was lying on the bed, soon fell into a deep sleep.

But in this dark and quiet environment, a soft sound suddenly came from Pakula's house.

Although the sound was very faint, it instantly woke Pakula from his sleep.

Her eyes snapped open, and her ninja instincts immediately put her into battle mode. Her entire body tensed, and she became alert to her surroundings.

She jumped out of bed, reached for her waist with her right hand, gripped a kunai tightly, and then shouted:

"Who?"

But her shouts received no response, and the room remained eerily quiet.

But Pakula didn't relax at all, constantly scanning his surroundings.

In a split second, a dark figure suddenly appeared next to her room window.

Upon seeing the black shadow that seemed to appear out of nowhere, Pakula's eyes narrowed, and his vigilance was raised to the highest level.

"Who are you?
