He wore a long black robe, the hem of which was fluttering in the wind, and his gaze was calm.

He walked slowly, yet with an undeniable composure.

Behind him were Kurenai Yuhi, Kakashi, and others.

In other words, the aura of a powerful person!

Chiyo suddenly looked up, sensing that something was amiss.

She just couldn't say exactly where it was.

"It's the Hokage of Konoha, sister."

Ebizo leaned on his cane, watching Kiyoshi approach.

The air was still thick with the scorching smell of the burning Scorch Release, and the shadows on everyone's faces were cast by the firelight on the ruins of Sunagakure under the night sky.

"Ye Cang."

His tone was calm, as if it were just a casual remark, but everyone felt a slight jolt in their hearts.

This is the Hokage known as the most learned, and is said to be equivalent to the second God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju.

With him around, Konoha will never fall.

But those who experienced the Third Shinobi World War are more familiar with his other title.

"Black Lightning"... Uchiha Kiyoshi!

Kiyoshi had a handsome face and unfathomable dark eyes. His mere presence was enough to make all the Sand Village ninjas secretly assess the situation.

As a result, more and more attention was drawn to him, and many people secretly speculated.

Ye Cang stared coldly at Qing Si, the flames swirling behind her, making her pupils appear like the blazing sun.

"So, I'm just going to suppress the anger in my chest like this?"

Her tone was barbed, and the flames rose slightly as she spoke.

"I know you have grievances, but please consider the bigger picture."

Kiyoshi glanced at Yoshikura.

Ye Cang suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and the thought of almost taking his anger out on Qing Si vanished.

Without Kiyoshi, she wouldn't have had this opportunity today.

Seeing that Yekura's expression softened, Luo Sha assumed that Kiyoshi's words had worked.

So he deliberately lowered his voice and put on a sorrowful expression.

"Yakura, I truly regret what I did... but I did it for Sunagakure. The threat from Kirigakure was right in front of us, and I had no choice..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Cang sneered, his expression cold, his eyes gleaming with mockery.

"hypocritical."

This man could push her out to her death without batting an eye.

They can also use the most high-sounding words to portray themselves as selfless heroes.

Ridiculous.

She slowly raised her hand, flames gathering in her palm, her eyes turning icy, and slowly uttered the following syllables:

"In short, Luo Sha cannot do without paying a price."

Upon hearing this, sweat rolled down Luo Sha's forehead, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Qing Si nodded slightly.

Ye Cang was willing to temporarily back down for his sake, which was enough.

“Rasa, betraying your comrades is indeed not the act of a ninja.”

Ebizo slammed his cane heavily against the ground.

At this moment, a large number of Sunagakure ninjas had gathered around.

"They must be severely punished! Otherwise, what will become of Sunagakure's rules?"

"Only immediate action can quell public anger!"

Several radicals even pressed their hands on their ninja tool bags, wishing they could kill Rasa on the spot to prevent him from revealing more details.

Those involved in the inside story were agitated, all saying that Luo Sha should atone for his sins, and wishing that Luo Sha would be executed on the spot immediately to avoid implicating them.

Meanwhile, many smaller ninja clans, unaware of the truth, watched from afar, their faces filled with confusion and unease, bewildered by this farce.

Sandy Cave suffered some losses, but not significant ones.

More significant damage was done to buildings; the Kazekage Building, once a symbol of power, was reduced to ruins, and several high-ranking members of the Sand Village died.

"Ninjas prioritize missions, but their comrades are just as important as the missions."

A ninja clan leader spoke slowly, staring coldly at Rasa.

"Fourth Hokage, you have become the darkness of Sunagakure."

"dark!"

"That's right, Lord Kazekage is no longer worthy!"

The cacophony of voices gradually coalesced into a unified demand.

These ninja leaders tacitly agreed that they must firmly pin the blame for betraying their comrades on Rasa alone, proving to the younger generation that Sunagakure's values ​​had not collapsed.

If this trend is allowed to spread, what difference will there be between Sunagakure and Blood Mist Village?

"Everything I've done is for the village!"

Luo Sha practically roared those words, his gaze sweeping over the high-ranking officials who had previously supported the decision.

At this moment, they either lowered their heads in silence or looked away, placing all the blame on him alone.

He remembered clearly how many high-ranking officials were present to support him when he decided to betray Ye Cang.

But now, they've all retreated into the shadows, pushing him out as a scapegoat.

Although Yekura killed a group of high-ranking Sunagakure officials, the ninja clans behind these officials could not possibly be unaware of this.

Some people in high positions have heard about it to some extent.

Aside from Chiyo and Ebizo, almost everyone else knows about this.

"Luo Sha".

Gallo finally arrived on the field.

She sighed, unsure of what to say.

“Galuro, you…”

Luo Sha's anger deflated instantly, like a punctured balloon.

When he saw Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara being escorted by ninjas behind Karura, his last will to resist crumbled.

The children's pale faces were filled with unease, and Temari ran over and tightly gripped Karura's clothes.

In this cold and cruel Sunagakure, only Karura is the soft spot in Rasa's heart.

If he continues to resist, his family will be the first to suffer.

Rasa took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He slowly scanned the entire scene, deeply imprinting every face that jumped out to accuse him into his mind—their hypocritical righteousness, the panic in the eyes of those ninja leaders eager to silence him…

"I……"

His voice suddenly became hoarse, then became firm again.

"I will resign from my position as the Fourth Kazekage and am willing to accept any punishment."

He lowered his head, concealing the fleeting glint in his eyes.

Where there is life, there is hope.

It's just starting over again.

Yekura is brave but lacks wisdom and is incapable of managing Sunagakure well.

At that time, he will gradually reintegrate into power.

Dusk stretched his shadow long, like a black cage.

The game of power has never ended, it has just changed the chessboard.

What Luo Sha didn't know was that Qing Si had already arranged his death, directly overturning the chessboard.

Chiyo's figure stood before the broken walls and ruins, like an old tree that had weathered the wind and sand.

She glanced around, her gaze finally settling on Ye Cang, and said in a steady voice:

"Now that Rasa is no longer the Kazekage... Pakura, welcome back to Sunagakure. Your actions were excessive, but understandable. However, remember not to kill again."

She paused briefly, her sharp gaze sweeping over the various expressions of the ninja clan leaders, before continuing:

"The selection process for the new team is about to begin, and you should be among the candidates."

This statement stirred up the previously silent crowd.

The clan leaders exchanged meaningful glances; some frowned, while others nodded in agreement.

Chiyo took it all in, her face wrinkled like the curves of sand dunes.

In her view, it doesn't matter who holds the title of Wind Shadow; she has long seen through power. What she cares about is whether this land can become a better place.

Yekura's fingertips trembled slightly.

Chiyo's words forced her to pull herself out of her urge for revenge and look toward the more distant future.

After taking revenge, she did indeed feel a sense of emptiness.

As she looked at Rasa, who had become a prisoner and voluntarily accepted detention by the Sunagakure ANBU ninjas, she pondered her own fate.

Kiyoshi's lips curled slightly. In the selection of the Fifth Kazekage, probably no one had a greater advantage than Yekura.

Once Pakura becomes the Fifth Kazekage, he can control Sunagakure through her and thereby gain more resources.

"Is this a coup?"

Itachi watched this scene, seemingly understanding something.

As night fell, the impact of the afternoon's events continued to spread, and countless people from Sunagakure were discussing the matter.

As the protagonist of this incident, Yekura has arrived in front of Kiyoshi.

"How does it feel to have your revenge fulfilled?"

Only Kiyoshi and Yokura were in the room.

"It's nothing special."

Ye Cang shook his head.

You'll get used to it after a while.

Qingsi spoke.

After successfully taking revenge, people often fall into a brief period of confusion because the long-term, high-pressure target suddenly disappears, and there is no clear thing to do.

"I will support your selection of the Fifth Kazekage. Just let me know if you need anything."

"……it is good."

Yekura gave Kiyoshi a deep look.

She also knew that Kiyoshi wanted to use her as a puppet to help him rise to power, and that once she became the Fifth Kazekage, she would definitely have to cooperate with Konoha to absorb blood.

"Remember to teach me all the secret techniques and ninjutsu you can access in Sunagakure."

Kiyoshi said.

These are considered one of the greatest assets of Sunagakure.

What remains are some resources, but we can wait and harvest them slowly later.

Kiyoshi plans to return to Konoha tomorrow.

In a few days, the new generation will also be going to ninja school.
