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

Chapter 327 The Humble Cloud Village, Farewell Gaara

"Lord Raikage!" Hi and Darui's eyes widened in fury.

hope wanted to rush forward to help, but before she could take a step, she tripped and fell to the ground due to the illusion that paralyzed her body.

"Don't worry, I avoided the vital points, the Raikage is not dead. I came here on someone's behalf to intimidate the Five Great Nations and to test the strength of the current Five Kage. After all, the upcoming battle will be a clash of gods."

Chiya turned to look at the unconscious Raikage, thinking to himself, "It seems that I am still far inferior to Ainz Ooal Gown. The Black Coffin, which completely abandoned the incantation, only exerted less than one-tenth of its power."

Darui helped Xi up again, gazing at Chiya in the distance. "hope, calm down. The genjutsu that Uchiha planted on you is still effective, and even the Raikage was easily defeated. If you rush in again, you'll die."

"Although we are very unwilling, for your safety and Lord Raikage's safety, we should wait for the four Kage of Fire, Earth, Water, and Wind to come and provide reinforcements."

"Damn it." hope shook off Darui's hand, knelt on the ground, and pounded the ground with her right fist, her face full of resentment.

At this moment, following the Raikage, Gaara and his siblings, who had been the first to leave the meeting room, finally arrived.

"What on earth happened?" Kankuro looked at the black flames still burning on the building, then at Sasuke who could only stand in front of him with Suigetsu's help, and finally his gaze fell on the most conspicuous one.

Qianye, dressed in a red cloud and black robe, and Leiying at his feet.

"The Raikage was actually killed? Was it this monster who did it?" Temari's voice trembled as she stood beside Kankuro. Granny Chiyo's words of advice echoed in her mind: never try to fight Fujiwara Chiya, and run as far away as possible.

Kankuro also had second thoughts, and he hesitated before saying to Gaara, "Gaara, we..."

Gaara crossed his arms, ignoring Kankuro, and stepped forward, answering with his actions, "You samurai, step back. This is a battle between ninjas; you samurai don't need to sacrifice yourselves for it."

"The warriors on the lower four levels are all under an illusion spell. You'd better hurry up and move them out, otherwise the upcoming battle may very well affect them."

"Thank you, Lord Kazekage." The samurai cast grateful glances at Gaara and hurried down to the fourth floor.

"The angsty, immature boy he once was has finally grown up. Gaara, no, the Fifth Kazekage."

Chiya grabbed the Raikage's hair and turned to look at Gaara.

"You bastard, let go of Lord Raikage!" Hi shouted. Darui's face was also terribly gloomy.

"Blonde-haired guy, and that black guy with the side-swept bangs over there, I've already given you one chance. Logically speaking, you shouldn't have a second chance. But seeing so many familiar faces here today, I've decided to give you one more chance. Just like last time, kneel down. I'll spare your Raikage's life."

Qianye raised his right hand diagonally above his head, and Raikage's body rose into the air.

These words caused a great stir, like a stone striking a rock.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Even those Cloud Village members who hadn't yet left stopped in their tracks and turned back to look.

They had no idea that Raikage and his two guards had already fought with Chiya, and that Chiya had only survived by kneeling down.

No wonder the Raikage hates Chiya so much.

Therefore, it is self-evident who left that scar on his back.

"Damn it." Darui and hope exchanged a glance. Although this would tarnish the reputation of Kumogakure among the Five Great Nations, they couldn't care less about it for the sake of Raikage's life.

With a thud, the two knelt down.

"That's more like it." Chiya casually tossed the Raikage to them.

Darui clicked his tongue. He knew the situation was against him, so he suppressed his anger, flew over and caught Raikage, and brought him to hope. He said urgently, "hope, quickly heal Lord Raikage."

"I understand." hope quickly released the Palm Healing Technique.

"Now it's your turn." Chiya turned her gaze to Gaara and his siblings. "Aside from the time we sealed the One-Tailed Beast, this should be our second official meeting."

Qianye's face was still radiant with a warm smile, which, combined with his handsome features, made him easy to like.

But none of the ninjas and samurai present dared to regard him as a kind person.

"I guess so," Gaara nodded, urging the samurai to leave, "What are you still doing here? Get out of here."

After the samurai left, Gaara looked at Chiya's tall and slender figure, recalling the scene in the Forest of Death where Naruto persuaded Chiya to return to Konoha, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

Qianye's gaze... it's as if he's looking at everything around him from another world. Has he really fallen to this level?

Out of friendship for Naruto, Gaara spoke up, trying to pull Chiya and Sasuke back from the "darkness," "Fujiwara Chiya, I know a little about your past. You lost both your parents at a young age, but you never blamed anyone until you were framed by the Konoha higher-ups. To protect those you cherished, you fell into darkness and betrayed Konoha."

"Taking revenge as your life's sustenance will solve nothing. I've been through it all. You still have time. Don't let hatred consume you, or you'll never come back."

"And Sasuke over there too."

Sasuke gave a cold laugh and did not answer.

Chiya smiled with interest. "Sasuke and Naruto are best friends who have kissed, and Naruto is your only friend, the one who saved you from that so-called darkness."

"I understand that you want to save Naruto. But is it really okay for you to advise me like this? The rumors that your father, the Fourth Kazekage, died at my hands are not unfounded."

"When Kanhachiro was picking up the Sasori puppet, he must have seen fragments of your father's puppet."

"I gave that corpse to Scorpion. Let me tell you the truth."

"Orochimaru originally planned to kill your father, take his place, enter Konoha, and thus launch the Konoha Crush Plan."

"In order to prevent me from ruining his plans, he tried to bribe me with several forbidden techniques, but I didn't take the forbidden techniques. I only made one request: to hand over the Fourth Kazekage to my comrades."

"As for why my comrades wanted to kill your father, that's a long story. You should be familiar with Pakura, the Scorching Release: Pakura, a former hero of Sunagakure."

"If she hadn't voluntarily given up the position of Mizukage back then, I'm afraid your father wouldn't have become the Fourth Kazekage."

"She and I were both betrayed and persecuted by the higher-ups of our own village. At the time, Sunagakure agreed to a request from Kirigakure Elder Genshi in order to sign a peace treaty with Kirigakure."

"That is to hand over Pakura, who repeatedly defeated Kirigakure during the Third Shinobi World War."

"Your father is the same type of person as the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, or even more extreme. He agreed without hesitation in order to secure his position as Kazekage."

"Akatsuki recognized Yekura's abilities and thought she was suitable to be my partner, so he intervened and saved her from a barrage of kunai and shuriken.

"Yakura suggested taking revenge on your father in order to get revenge on him. I have a lot of respect for my comrades."

"After Orochimaru lured your father out, he stabbed him, severely injuring him, and then handed him over to Pakura."

"Yakura gave your father the same fate as her, creating dozens of shadow clones that hurled hundreds upon hundreds of kunai and shuriken."
