Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

……

half an hour ago.

The place where Chiyo of Sunagakure lived in seclusion.

Ebizo squinted as he fished by the pond.

Chiyo stood beside him, caught in a dilemma.

Not long ago, she sensed several powerful chakra fluctuations.

Moreover, judging from the direction, it is Sunagakure Village.

Although she lives in seclusion, it doesn't mean she doesn't care about anything.

Judging from the chakra fluctuations, one of them belonged to Gaara.

He must have encountered a formidable opponent.

However, the chakra fluctuations quickly disappeared.

This means the battle is over.

But who won?

Just then, the sound of wind came from not far away.

"It's Maki."

Chiyo glanced at it and felt relieved.

Based on her judgment, given Maki's strength, he most likely wouldn't survive such a chakra fluctuation.

The only explanation is that Sunagakure won.

"Grandma Chiyo".

Maki stopped and bowed slightly.

"what's up?"

Chiyo said calmly, "Didn't I give orders? No one is allowed to disturb our seclusion."

"This is a big deal."

Maki took a deep breath and said, "Two members of Akatsuki are attacking Sunagakure."

"Didn't we win?"

Chiyo paused for a moment and then asked, "Is Gaara injured?"

"No."

Maki explained, "Thanks to the Hokage's timely rescue, the two Akatsuki members were killed."

"Naruto?"

Chiyo's face showed a subtle expression as she said, "I never imagined that Tsunade would save Sunagakure one day."

"It's not Tsunade, it's Aburame Shiki. He's the Sixth Hokage now."

Maki corrected him.

Chiyo immediately recalled the Chunin Exams.

Because of Luo Sha's death, she had no choice but to show up and help out.

At that time, she met Zhihui, the oil lady, who left a deep impression on her.

"So young, and he's already Hokage?"

Chiyo abruptly changed the subject, asking, "Since Sunagakure is alright, why are you looking for me?"

Maki's expression changed in a very complex way.

"What's going on?"

Chiyo frowned, her expression dignified without her being angry.

"One of the two members of the Akatsuki organization is your grandson, Sasori, who has been missing for many years."

Maki said hesitantly.

"what?!"

Chiyo's body stiffened, and she instinctively asked, "Are you sure?"

Ebizo also opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief.

Sunagakure did not know that Sasori was the murderer of the Third Kazekage, so he had always been missing, not a rogue ninja.

"It's him."

"He turned himself into a human puppet," Maki said earnestly.

"Human puppet?"

Chiyo took a step back and said painfully, "He has ultimately chosen the path of becoming a human puppet."

Human puppets, using living people as puppets, are a taboo for puppeteers.

This was no less significant than Orochimaru's Wood Release experiments in Konoha.

"and many more."

Chiyo realized what was happening and asked, "He...he's dead?"

"Yes."

Maki sighed and said, "I saw it with my own eyes; he was killed by the Hokage."

In his view, this matter was not the fault of the oil-producing woman, Zhihui.

After all, it was Scorpion who betrayed them first.

Without Aburame Shiki, Gaara would probably have been in big trouble.

Chiyo was momentarily dazed upon hearing this.

Scorpion's parents, namely her son and daughter-in-law, died young.

She had always felt indebted to Scorpion.

Now, many years later, I received news of him, only to learn of his death.

"Scorpion isn't necessarily dead. Have you forgotten that he was a human puppet?"

Ebizo said thoughtfully, "Human puppets have a core. If the core is not destroyed, it will not die."

Chiyo's eyes lit up.

She said impatiently, "Maki, tell me the details."

Maki paused slightly, then nodded.

Chiyo became increasingly astonished as she listened.

How did Shiki Aburame's strength become so outrageous?

His performance has far surpassed that of his teacher, Tsunade.

Chiyo had initially thought that Aburame Shiki and Gaara were working together, but the situation was completely different from what she had imagined.

With such strength and his age, the future of Konoha Village is incredibly bright.

In the end, Chiyo heard Shiki Aburame pry the regeneration core out of Sasori's chest.

She and Ebizo exchanged a glance, both having the same thought.

This must be the core of the scorpion.

"Does this Hokage know him?"

Ebizo asked thoughtfully.

"Human puppets are a puppeteer's secret; in theory, he shouldn't know about them."

Chiyo said in a deep voice, "We have to find a way to get it back."

She wanted to know why Scorpion had defected.

At the same time, she harbored a sliver of hope.

If Sasori were willing to return to Sunagakure, it would greatly alleviate Gaara's pressure.

Where is Gaara?

Chiyo looked up and asked.

"He was reassuring the villagers and ninjas."

Marki answered.

"Go and inform Gaara."

Chiyo thought for a moment and said, "I'll wait for him in the Kazekage's office."

"Yes."

Maki felt somewhat relieved.

His purpose in coming here was to get Chiyo and Ebizo back to Sunagakure to take charge.

First, to prevent the Akatsuki organization from making a comeback.

Secondly, it reassured the people of Sunagakure.

After Maki left, Chiyo and Ebizo set off together and arrived at the Kazekage's office.

A few minutes later, the door opened and Gaara walked in.

"We are already aware of the situation."

Chiyo cut to the chase and asked, "What conditions did Konoha Village propose?"

"We haven't talked about it yet."

Gaara shook his head and said, "The time is set for eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
