Chapter 313: The Awakening of the Third Generation Wind and the Difficulties of the Red Sand Scorpion
The Fourth Kazekage gave an order to Yashamaru to assassinate Gaara, the ninchuuriki.
Hearing this, Elder Chiyo and all the Sand Ninjas were stunned, and then showed a don't joke expression.
Who is Gaara? In addition to his identity as a Jinchuriki, he is also the son of the Fourth Kazekage. How could the Fourth Kazekage issue an order to assassinate his own Jinchuriki, and the Jinchuriki is still his son.
The ninja who performed the assassination mission was even more ridiculous. Who in Sunagakure Village didn't know that Yashamaru was Garuru's younger brother and Gaara's uncle. How could he assassinate Zinchūriki?
After rejecting Scorpion's words in his mind, the Sand Ninja immediately came up with another set of conclusions.
The ninja who assassinated Gaara tonight was none other than Scorpion himself. However, Scorpion encountered an accident on the way to the assassination, which allowed Shukaku to temporarily get rid of the seal, which triggered the previous battle.
And what Xie just said was undoubtedly a lie made up on the spur of the moment, in order to get rid of the encirclement and suppression by everyone.
Elder Chiyo had similar doubts in her heart, but after Scorpion handed over Gaara, she had doubts about her own thoughts. Could it be that Scorpion did not come for the Jinchuuriki, but just returned to the village to take a look.
After all, if Scorpion's target was really Shukaku, there was no need for him to confront Shukaku, and there was no need to expose the Kazekage puppet and increase unnecessary risks.
But she couldn't do it no matter what, asking Elder Qianyo to leave like this.
There are too many doubts and unknowns about Xie. Where has Xie gone these years, why did Feng Ying become a puppet, and why did he sneak into the village? These questions all require a definite answer.
Thinking of this, Elder Qiandai said to Xia: "I will send people to find Yashamaru to see if the truth of everything is what you said!?"
Xie said disdainfully: "So what if it's true? So what if it's fake? Will you let me leave Sand Hidden Village?"
Elder Chiyo was choked by these words.
No matter what the truth is, she has no intention of letting Xie, who has been away from the village for many years, leave.
Just when Elder Chiyo didn't know how to reply to Scorpion, several Sunagakure ninjas came to Elder Chiyo with Yashamaru.
Elder Chiyo cleared his throat and asked Yashamaru: "I want to ask you, are you here to assassinate Gaara, the Jinchuuriki?"
Hearing this, Yashamaru froze on the spot, he didn't know how to answer.
If the truth is told, it will definitely damage the image of the Fourth Kazekage. The Fourth Kazekage doesn't know how he will retaliate against him and Gaara in the future.
If he makes up lies, he will definitely have an uneasy conscience and will be easily missed by Scorpion. Gaara will still be at risk of being killed in the future, and Scorpion is fully capable of killing Jinchūriki.
Just when Yashamaru was in a dilemma, he saw Byakuya, who was disguised as a Suna ninja in the crowd. After taking a deep breath, he said:
"Elder Chiyo, I was indeed on a mission to deal with Gaara just now."
Elder Chiyo narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand and shot out a few chakra lines, restrained Yashamaru, and then asked:
"Who sent you to deal with Gaara?"
After seeing Byakuya disappearing into the crowd, Yashamaru no longer had any scruples and said:
"The Yondaime-sama sent me to deal with Gaara. He asked me to use assassination to stimulate Gaara's potential. If Gaara cannot use Shukaku's power, he will be killed by me."
Elder Chiyo frowned. Through the perception of chakra lines, she could confirm that Yashamaru was not lying, but how could Rasa send someone to assassinate Gaara? Why didn't Yashamaru refuse this task?
Thinking of this, Elder Chiyo looked at Yashamaru, who seemed to notice something and remained silent.
Elder Chiyo sighed softly. Based on her understanding of Rasha, what Yashamaru said should be the truth tonight.
Rasa is the kind of ninja who would sacrifice everything for the village.
In Rasa's mind, whether they are ordinary Suna ninjas or their own children, they are all members of Sunagakure Village, and they can be given up and sacrificed at any time as long as the village needs it.
But in order for Gaara to adapt to Shukaku's power, someone was sent to assassinate Gaara.
This kind of thing is really too much. If something goes wrong with Gaara and Shukaku gets out of control, then a turmoil no less than the Night of the Nine-Tails will break out in Sunagakure Village.
After being silent for a long time, Xie said calmly: "Old woman, this can prove my innocence. I had no intention of attacking the Jinchuriki. It was the Jinchuriki who went berserk and provoked me."
After saying that, Scorpion turned and walked towards the secret room where Gaara was imprisoned, locking himself in it.
Elder Qiandai opened her mouth. She wanted to say sorry to Xie, but she still couldn't. She had never been good at communicating with her grandson, and she couldn't understand his thoughts.
And even if Scorpion did not attack Gaara this time, Scorpion's whereabouts and Kazekage puppets over the years must be explained clearly. Scorpion is still a ninja of Sunagakure Village after all.
Fortunately, Xie did not leave the village, but locked himself in the room as before.
After Scorpion took the initiative to walk into the secret room, the eyes of the Suna ninja present were full of complexity. They also had doubts about their previous guess. Is Scorpion really the murderer of the Third Kazekage after taking the Jinchuuriki?
Is there any other reason behind the disappearance of Scorpion over the years?
After seeing that the atmosphere of the surrounding Suna Ninja was almost in place, Bai Ye, disguised as a Suna Ninja, spoke:
"Everyone, have we misunderstood Scorpion? The Wind Shadow puppet is on Scorpion, but it doesn't prove that Scorpion is the murderer of the Third Generation. Maybe they encountered an accident at the same time."
"Scorpion is not the murderer of the Third Generation? Is there another reason behind it?"
Bai Ye's question made the Sand Ninjas brainstorm. They began to think of other possibilities, but they never formed a systematic guess.
At this time, Bai Ye continued:
"I am thinking, did Scorpion and the Third Generation encounter a strong enemy? After paying a heavy price, they finally repelled the enemy, but the Third Generation was on the verge of death due to serious injuries."
"In the last days of his life, the Third Generation asked Scorpion to make him a Jinchūriki. In this way, even if the Third Generation went to the Pure Land, he could still contribute to the village and protect the best Sand Village."
Bai Ye's words made the surrounding Sand Ninjas nod involuntarily.
The village regards the creation of human puppets as a taboo. No one likes to be made into a Jinchūriki after their death, and their families do not want their bodies to be desecrated.
But the Third Hokage is a great ninja. In order to protect the village, he might really let Scorpion make himself into a human puppet, so that the Sand Village, which is already weak, will have an extra trump card in the troubled times.
