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

Chiya spoke eloquently to Tsunade, spouting nonsense, "Since the end of the Third Shinobi World War, after many years of recuperation, the five great nations have basically recovered their strength."

"What does restoring strength mean? It means war. If the Akatsuki hadn't appeared at this time, the Fourth Shinobi World War would probably have broken out in a few years."

"At that time, it won't just be those few Jinchuriki who die. It will be tens of thousands of ninjas and countless civilians."

"How is this possible?" Tsunade exclaimed in shock, her face filled with disbelief.

Qianye waved his hand, "Don't rush to refute it. Whether you admit it or not, that's just how the world is."

"Although your grandfather, the First Hokage, had good intentions in founding Konoha, he overlooked human nature."

"The so-called world of mutual understanding is nothing but a pipe dream. Even if it exists, it will only be temporary at best. People only understand each other because they share common interests."

"Where there are people, there will be struggle; where there is struggle, there will be war. This is unavoidable."

"Just like the three previous Shinobi World Wars, they claimed it was for the sake of the villages, but in reality, it was just politicians trying to balance the interests of the five great nations. To put it bluntly, it was all about mutual annexation. There was no such thing as justice or injustice at all."

"But if there is a common enemy, it will be different. They will join forces to fight the enemy, and once the enemy is defeated, at least in Naruto's generation, it is unlikely that war will break out in the ninja world."

Hearing this, Tsunade frowned, then sat back in Chiya's lap, asking with concern, "So you want to be this enemy?"

"How could that be? What do I care about the peace of the ninja world, its system, or the lives of the ninjas? I only care about the people I care about." Chiya carried Tsunade in a princess carry, laying her flat on the office floor, and untied her kimono and Akatsuki robe.

"Then what do you want to do?" Tsunade's face turned red, and her eyes darted around. She knew what was about to happen.

Chiya gently stroked Tsunade's soft hair. "This world is never short of self-righteous, ambitious people who want to achieve peace through extreme means. I just need to watch the show from the sidelines and at most take care of your subordinates to make sure they are not killed. Of course, the Sarutobi clan is an exception."

"Really?" Tsunade was overjoyed. She was really afraid that Chiya would turn into the kind of person who would stop at nothing.

"Of course." Qianye smiled mischievously and pounced on her.

Not long after, Tsunade's sounds of pleasure and pain echoed from the Hokage's office. Of course, apart from the person standing guard outside the door, whose pretty face was flushed and who was used to silence, no one else could hear these sounds.

On the border of the Land of Wind, yellow sand raged, leaving the land in ruins, with corpses of the Sand Village's tracking forces everywhere.

Deidara sat inside a cave carved out of the Gobi Desert, looking down at Sasori who was catching up. "You're really slow, Sasori-nii. Don't you dislike making people wait?"

"However, I had a lot of fun." In this era where puppetry talents are scarce, it's rare to meet a junior with decent skills, so Scorpion was in a good mood.

"What do you mean by this?" Deidara asked, somewhat displeased.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. I was just trying to make sure your One-Tailed Mission went perfectly." Sasori didn't explain further and changed the subject, "But speaking of which, where's that Chiya guy?"

"He said you probably wouldn't catch up until dawn, so he went off to a small town in the Land of Rivers for a late-night snack. He told us to go directly to his base in the Land of Rivers and meet him there. What a treacherous guy, he didn't even bother to bring me a late-night snack. Hmm."

Deidara said, angrily taking a soldier's ration pill out of his ninja tool pouch and stuffing it into his mouth.

"That really suits his style; he's never willing to compromise himself." Sasori of the Red Sand had no suspicions, and the two continued on their way.

Around noon, they finally arrived at the stronghold in the land of rivers.

Meanwhile, Qianye had been waiting there for quite some time.

The three entered the cave.

A commotion ensued between Deidara and Pain, with Pain saying Deidara was too slow and Deidara saying the Jinchūriki was too powerful.

Finally, Pain formed hand seals and summoned the Gedo Mazo. The sealing officially began.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The support team from Konoha, led by Kakashi, finally arrived at Sunagakure.

They were greeted by Maki, a high-ranking member of the Sunagakure clan.

Entrance to Sunagakure Village.

Upon seeing Kakashi and the others arrive, Maki immediately greeted them with a smile, his attitude very polite, "We've been waiting for you from Konoha for a long time, welcome to Sunagakure."

"Captain Maki, it's been a long time." Kakashi greeted him warmly. "The last time we met was during the Chunin Exams. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Yes, it's truly shameful. If it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid Sunagakure would have been used by Orochimaru." Maki sighed softly, his gaze sweeping sadly toward Kakashi's back.

When he saw Naruto and the others, he didn't seem too surprised.

After all, Naruto and Sakura were Kakashi's students.

However, when he saw Chinatsu wearing the Konoha headband around her neck, he was a little confused and asked hesitantly, "Who is this?"

Kakashi said "Oh," and worried that the other party might misunderstand, he hurriedly explained, "This is Tsunade's daughter, Chinatsu. She is the most powerful genius in the history of Konoha. Don't let her young age fool you, she is actually stronger than me."

"I see." Maki looked embarrassed and didn't take Kakashi's words to heart.

To graduate from the Ninja Academy at this age is undoubtedly genius, but even the most talented need time to grow.

Even formidable figures like Fujiwara Chiya and Uchiha Itachi only began to show their talent at the age of thirteen.

What can a seven-year-old child who has just graduated from the Ninja Academy do?

At this moment, Naruto stepped forward, his eyes filled with tears, and asked anxiously, "I heard Gaara has been captured. Where is he? Where was he taken? We must go and rescue him quickly."

boom!

Sakura punched Naruto hard on the head, leaving a fleshy bump. Sakura scolded, "Idiot, what Gaara? He's the Kazekage now. Out of courtesy, you should call him Kazekage-sama. Honestly, you don't know any manners at all."

"It's alright." Maki waved his hand dismissively. "You are all friends of Lord Kazekage, so calling each other by name is perfectly fine. This way, please. I'll take you to the Kazekage Building to get more details."

After saying that, Maki turned around and led the way.

To enter Sunagakure, one must first pass through the One-Line Sky Canyon, where many Sunagakure villagers are lying in ambush on both sides, and even set up many terrifying explosive traps.
