Time flies and the years are like a shuttle.
……
One year later, Suna Village.
Kazekage floor, in Conference Hall.
At the conference hall at this moment, the atmosphere is extra solemn!
In front of the round table in the center of the Conference Hall, in addition to sitting around Kazekage Rasa and 8 core members of Suna Village, even the retired Chiyo the mother in law and her younger brother Ebizo were invited to come here.
[*TL note: Ebizō (Ebizō), called Honoured Grandfather Ebizō (Ebizō-jiisama) by the Suna villagers, is highly revered in Sunagakure. He and his older sister, Chiyo, are known as the Honoured Siblings (Gokyōdai).
Chiyo (Chiyo) was a retired counsellor of Sunagakure. She was also a famed puppeteer, the leader of Sunagakure’s Puppet Brigade, and a medical-nin.]
The reason why they gathered here so grandly today is to discuss the anomalies recently discovered in Gaara.
Among the 8 core staff, it can be divided into two groups.
4 people are conservatives. 4 people are radicals.
At the moment, Kazekage Rasa asked with serious questions: “Is the news accurate? The reason why Gaara has changed so much recently is because someone has added a layer of Sealing Jutsu to him?”
Conservatives: “Yes, Lord-Kazekage. We have sent someone to confirm again. Moreover, when the Young Master implemented the mission, we also found that this Sealing Jutsu was completely in the hands of the Young Master. Young Master can unzip and seal at any time and use the power of One-Tails at will.”
Kazekage Rasa: “Can you confirm what Sealing Jutsu this is? Also, who is the teacher of the Sealing Jutsu?”
Conservatives: “It should be the child Baki rescued from the beginning, and since the one who has had the most contact with the Young Master is only this child. We also sent people to investigate. If there is no accident, it is the Four-Tetragram Seal belonging to the Uzumaki Clan.”
Everyone on the scene had already automatically supplemented Naruto’s identity. Most people subconsciously believe that Naruto is just an orphan of the Uzumaki clan. Not too much to make a fuss about nothing.
Conservatives: “Lord-Kazekage, we also found an important message. This self-proclaimed child of Naruto may be a Jinchuriki. And most likely, he is Jinchuriki of Konoha Village.”
There was an uproar instantly.
Either radicals. Or conservatives.
All discussed this topic one after another.
“How is it possible! How can Jinchuriki of Konoha come here?”
“Yes! It’s impossible! Have you truly checked it out?”
“Do you know how serious this is?! How can you just talk casually?”
Seeing some turbulence on the scene, Kazekage Rasa vigorously slapped the desk, making a loud noise, and everyone was quiet.
Rasa stared at the conservative seriously: “Are you sure? The child staying beside Gaara is really the Jinchuuriki of Konoha?”
This conservative seems like he couldn’t stand the pressure of everyone.
But in the end, he still clenched his teeth, repeated: “Yes, Lord-Kazekage! We are pretty sure that that child is Jinchuriki of Konoha! When he was commissioning with Gaara, our people had sensed the demon fox’s chakra!”
With this conservative’s re-guarantee.
The time before Konoha’s Kyuubi berserk and run away, and Naruto’s wandering in the desert were linked together.
This time, everyone in the Conference Hall no longer doubts this news.
What was transformed was the overjoy of the audience.
Radicals: “Great! We don’t need to worry about Konoha’s strength becoming stronger! Now their Jinchuriki is in our hands. As long as we kill him and then publish this news, Konoha will definitely suffer heavy losses!”
The radicals gave a proposal.
Many people shouted and praised.
Kazekage Rasa, who was also delighted, was breathless, but there was no expression of excitement. He turned his head and asked the mother-in-law Chiyo: “Mother Chiyo, this thing… what do you think?”
Although Chiyo’s mother-in-law retired, her prestige is still here.
Hearing Lord-Kazekage asking about Chiyo’s mother-in-law’s opinion, everyone naturally stopped talking and turned her attention to his mother-in-law, waiting for her response.
Mother-in-law Chiyo sipped the cup of hot tea on the table, indifferently said: “Not good. Killing Konoha’s strength will not only weaken Konoha’s strength but also increase their hatred of us. There is no benefit to the Suna Village, and the biggest beneficiary is the other three Great Ninja Village. Maybe they will wait to watch our good show.”
Everyone was blinded by excitement. It suddenly dawned on them, and the thought of killing Naruto was stopped one after another.
Conservatives: “So… what if we use this Kyuubi Jinchuriki for natural resources from Konoha?”
Everyone looked again and fell simultaneously on Mother Chiyo.
However, this time Ebizo started to talk: “For us, although there are some benefits, but little natural resources; Konoha would not care about giving up some of it. We still can’t solve the problem of Konoha’s increasing strength.”
Everyone became silent again.
At this time, Rasa seemed to have decided in his heart; his eyes firmly said: “Everyone remembers a previously discussed plan to invade Konoha? Wreak havoc once and greatly damage their strength?”
Rasa said the plan.
Of course, it is the ‘Konoha Crush Plan’.
However, at this time, they have not finalized this plan. Still in the discussion period and secretly looking for allies.
Conservatives: “Lord-Kazekage, absolutely not! This plan will damage not only the strength of Konoha Village but also our people!”
Rasa squeezed his hand and signaled the conservative to calm down: “I didn’t say that the plan will be implemented now. Didn’t everyone hesitate before? Now that Konoha’s Jinchuriki is in hand, what is there to hesitate? We can continue to seek allies to minimize losses secretly. Even if there is something wrong, we can still use that Jinchuriki to make up for the loss after the war, right?”
When this proposal came out, everyone in the room lit up.
Even the veteran thousand-generation mother-in-law Chiyo, and Ebizo, did not raise any objections.
Everyone looked at each other. Give a satisfied smile.
Conservatives: “I second!”
Radicals: “I second!”
All core personnel, one after another, agreed with the matter.
Conservatives: “So… About Konoha Jinchuriki, what should we do now?”
Radicals: “Hmph! A demon fox in our territory, what big waves can it make? You can send someone to imprison him immediately!”
The conservatives ridiculed: “Detain him? Did you forget the Young Master’s Sealing Jutsu, which was taught by the Jinchuriki? What do we use to detain him? Even if there is this strength to suppress him, how long can we suppress it? All manpower and material resources are put on him. You want the village to be destroyed?”
The radicals were sprayed dumbstruck and unable to reply.
Rasa came out to make a round: “Okay, okay. How it was, how it is now. Try not to beat the grass to scare the snake. And don’t let him discover our plan. When implementing the plan, just block the message and let him be in the village. After discussing the conditions of exchange with Konoha, send him back directly.”
Rasa glanced at his mother-in-law Chiyo, trying to ask his mother-in-law to give some advice to see if his decision had any lapses.
The mother-in-law of the thousand generations made no sound and nodded.
Rasa then let go of the big stone in his heart.
