In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 127 Yekura's Request, Third Dai-dai Ai Danzo

Seeing this, Sakura desperately picked up Sasuke and burst into tears, crying and shouting, "Naruto, Sasuke, he's in so much pain! Please save Sasuke, Naruto!"

Unfortunately, how could Naruto, who had already lost consciousness, hear that?

Finally, Sakura's crying stopped. She stood there, bewildered, and managed to utter, "What...what should I do?"

Yecang saw all of this, and a look of disdain immediately flashed in his eyes—it was directed at Sakura.

She said to Qianye, "Lord Qianye, I think I finally understand why you dislike this woman."

Qianye said "Oh," and asked with interest, "Tell me about it."

Ye Cang said seriously, "When there's nothing to do, he hates this kid named Naruto to death and clings to Itachi's younger brother like crazy. When there's something to do, he keeps calling out Naruto... Naruto."

Both of them were held back because of her, and they got injured protecting her, but in the end, they only care about this guy named Sasuke. I really feel sorry for this kid named Naruto.

"That hits the nail on the head. But none of this concerns us. Let's go, to the central tower." Qianye stood up, leaving behind these words, and disappeared into the tree trunk. Yecang followed closely behind.

Itachi was left standing there watching the suffering Sasuke, his eyes filled with uncertain emotions. After a moment's hesitation, he created a shadow clone to stay behind and watch over him.

Only then did he feel at ease and continue chasing after Qianye in the direction she had left.

On the way to the central tower, Chiya deliberately took a detour, heading towards Hinata's direction.

"Lord Chiya, aren't we going to the central tower?" Yekura glanced at Itachi, who had followed them, and asked with some confusion.

"No rush. Our other mission is to gather information on Jinchuriki. Coincidentally, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki I sensed is nearby. We can go and observe him." Chiya made up a reason. He would never admit that he was going to see Hinata.

Soon, the three arrived at their destination, just in time to witness the scene where Gaara first displayed his abilities and brutally killed three minor characters from the Rain Village.

Meanwhile, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, and Akamaru, along with their dog, hid in the bushes, trembling with fear at Gaara's power.

"Lord Chiya, it seems to be from Amegakure. How should we go about rescuing them?" Yekura asked hesitantly, looking at the middle-aged Amegakure genin who was now enveloped in Gaara's sand and slowly rising into the air.

In the original story, this guy was the first to be buried and crushed into a rain of blood by Gaara's sandstorm.

"Do you want to save her?" Chiya's heart stirred, and she released the shadow clone that was secretly protecting Hinata, throwing the topic back to Yekura.

Ye Cang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "After all, she's from the chief's village. I can see that Miss Konan loves the villagers. If possible..."

"Then let's save them. Anyway, we'll be exposed pretty much after this exam." Qianye finished speaking and disappeared from the spot.

Just as Gaara raised his umbrella, preparing to unleash "Sandstorm Burial" to crush the middle-aged rain ninja.

Suddenly, Chiya appeared and grabbed Gaara's right hand.

The speed was so fast that even the sand that Gaara's mother had turned into didn't have time to react.

The sand that had bound the middle-aged Rain Ninja lost Gaara's control, turned into loose sand, and fell to the ground along with the Rain Ninja.

The middle-aged Rain Ninja, who had survived the ordeal, was so frightened that his face turned pale. He collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, staring blankly at the suddenly appearing Chiya.

"When?" Temari and Kankuro behind Gaara were shocked. It was the first time they had ever seen anyone touch Gaara.

"Who are you?" Gaara, feeling a burning pain in his wrist, finally noticed the sudden appearance of Chiya. Though equally startled, his expression remained expressionless as he indifferently asked, "Who are you?"

"Just an ordinary genin," Chiyo replied, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"You want to save them?" Gaara glanced at the three Rain Ninja across from him, his gaze growing colder.

"It's not that I want to save them, but someone doesn't want to see those three die. How about it, panda-eyed kid, give me some face. I'll let them stay, and you let them go." Qianye tried to negotiate.

Gaara did not reply to Chiya's suggestion, but instead controlled the sand to attack Chiya.

Chiya loosened Gaara's grip and easily dodged.

A morbidly ferocious smile appeared on Gaara's youthful face as he controlled the sand that had previously bound the middle-aged Rain Ninja, launching a sneak attack from behind to envelop Chiya.

Seeing that Chiyo was bound by sand, Temari and Kankuro breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to themselves, "As expected, Gaara is still the most powerful."

Akamaru, who was hiding in the shadows among the three members of Team 8 and their dog, suddenly began to whimper softly in Kiba's trembling arms.

"Kiba, what's wrong with Akamaru?" Hinata suppressed her fear and asked in a low voice.

"It seems they're saying that the bandaged man who suddenly appeared is a more dangerous being than the guy with the sand." A hint of fear appeared in his eyes as he translated in a trembling voice.

Upon hearing this, Shino looked solemnly at Chiya, who was completely enveloped by Gaara's sand.

Gaara was getting impatient. He opened his umbrella again, intending to pull Chiya into the air and crush her with sand, but he found that no matter how he moved, he couldn't lift the sand.

In shock and rage, he clenched his fist and unleashed a sandstorm on the ground, annihilating everything.

The imagined scene of blood splattering did not appear. Instead, from within the sand pile, Qianye's clear voice suddenly rang out, "Is this your ninjutsu? It's rather interesting."

As soon as the words were spoken, a massive burst of chakra erupted from the sand pile, instantly scattering all the sand.

Qianye remained standing in the same spot, maintaining his previous posture, with a calm expression and unharmed.

"How could this be possible to disperse Gaara's sand with just chakra?" Upon seeing this, Kankuro could no longer control his emotions and shouted excitedly.

"How's that, panda-eyed kid? My suggestion still works. And the blonde beauty behind you and the puppeteer too. If you keep fighting, the three of you might die today," Qianye warned innocently.

"Who exactly is this guy?" Kankuro broke out in a cold sweat, pondered for a moment, and began to persuade Gaara.

But Gaara completely ignored him.

In the end, it was Temari who spoke up, and Gaara reluctantly agreed, but his gaze toward Chiya became increasingly murderous.

Clearly, at this moment, Senya has become someone ranked above Sasuke on Gaara's kill list.

Ignoring Gaara's murderous gaze, Chiya glanced at the three Rain Ninja behind him, who handed over the scrolls in a trembling manner.

Without even glancing at it, Chiya took the scroll and casually tossed it to Gaara and the other two.
