Seiji's actions outside involved sealing this portion of the Tailed Beast's chakra within a special sealing scroll.

This would greatly slow down the dissipation of the tailed beast's chakra.

"Alright, Karura, the One-Tailed Beast will behave itself for a long time."

Kiyoshi carefully put away the sealed scroll and said.

Upon hearing this, Garuda lowered her head, her short, brownish-yellow hair cascading over her face.

Just as Kiyoshi said, she felt that the tail within her body had weakened considerably, its entire body curled up in the mental space, unable to cause any trouble.

"Then... what about Rasa?"

After this matter was settled, Karura inquired about Rasa.

Before Kiyoshi could say anything, Karura suddenly sensed a dangerous chakra.

Someone is fighting!

Karura opened the window and looked in the direction from which the chakra was coming from.

Thick smoke rose from there, and explosions could be heard intermittently.

Clearly, something went wrong there.

Has Yekura begun her operation?

Galuro knew something was wrong.

"Rasa, I don't think the famous Fourth Kazekage is that weak."

Qingsi shook his head.

The main reason he was able to be killed so quickly by Orochimaru was because he was caught off guard.

Just like Sasori poisoning the Third Kazekage, who was known as the strongest Kazekage, it was a complete waste.

In the ninja world, no matter how strong you are, except for a very few, your physical body has little chance of resisting poisoning.

When Orochimaru was searching for Tsunade to restore his arm, Tsunade poisoned Jiraiya to prevent him from interfering, thus rendering him unable to exert much of his strength.

That was also the first time the three ninjas fought each other.

Although everyone was in a weakened state—one had both hands crippled, one suffered from hemophobia, and another was poisoned…

No matter what, Rasa is a powerful master of "Magnetic" Release, and Yekura won't be able to deal with him so easily.

"Go quickly and save Luo Sha."

"Galuro said."

She wanted to use the chakra of the tailed beasts to go and support Rasa.

However, she discovered that the One-Tailed Beast's chakra had been almost completely drained, and she, as the Jinchūriki, had no chakra left to use.

Based on her own strength alone, it would be difficult for her to participate in such a battle.

"Don't worry, if he's going to die, I'll spare his life."

Qingsi spoke.

Rasa's "Magnetic" technique can absorb gold dust, making it a decent tool for accumulating wealth.

However, Kiyoshi did not intend to keep Rasa alive indefinitely. He wanted Rasa to shine for a few more years before sending him to be reincarnated.

Luo Sha is an ambitious man, and a simple-minded woman like Ye Cang might not be able to handle him.

However, she now holds the moral high ground, with favorable timing, location, and popular support. In addition, Luo Sha's actions have gone too far, which is why there is a one-sided support for Ye Cang.

"This……"

Galuro nodded.

She had a vague feeling that Rasa wouldn't live much longer; it would be alright if he were just a simple ninja who craved power.

The key point is that after the Third Kazekage disappeared, Rasa was the first to come out and unite Sunagakure, and was elected as the Fourth Kazekage.

Such a person would be very politically astute, and no leader would feel at ease with him.

"Ugh……"

Galuro sighed deeply.

Luo Sha... what he did was truly inhumane.

"Kiyoshi, what happened?"

This commotion naturally caught the attention of Kurenai and the others very quickly.

The group found Kiyoshi, fearing that Sunagakure might harm him.

"Something minor has happened; there's a coup attempt going on."

Qingsi spoke.

Yekura was a fallen hero, not a rogue ninja.

So strictly speaking, this is an internal strife within Sunagakure, just like the Uchiha clan's attempt at armed rebellion in the original story.

"Lord Hokage, a coup?"

This was the first time Itachi had encountered this word in real life; he had only ever seen it in books before.

"It's just a change of those in power; it has nothing to do with ordinary people."

Qingsi said calmly.

Itachi's current environment is different from that in the original work. Kiyoshi became the first Hokage of the Uchiha clan, so there is no so-called coup or anything like that.

Which Uchiha clan member was so audacious as to attempt a coup against Kiyoshi?

The fact that a single Hokage could be produced is enough to make all members of the Uchiha clan hold their heads high and feel incredibly proud.

"Should we go and take a look, Kiyoshi?"

Her lips, as red as sunset, twitched slightly.

"Alright, let's go take a look."

Qingsi nodded.

Rasa and Yoru should be locked in a fierce battle now, just like they were in the past.

……

the other side.

Broken wooden beams lay scattered among the rubble, still crackling with embers.

The wind whipped up the ashes, carrying with it a pungent, acrid smell.

The duel between Yekura and Rasa just now caused most of the city's houses to collapse. The yellow sand in the sky has not yet completely dissipated, and the sound of the wind is mixed with the noise of the crowd.

Ye Cang stood atop the ruins, her body ablaze with flames, which made her face appear cold and exquisitely beautiful.

There was no hint of backing down in her eyes, only burning hatred.

Opposite him, Luo Sha's aura was disordered, his body was covered in gold dust, and there were slight twitches at the corners of his eyes.

Yekura has become so much stronger.

Chiyo walked slowly in, her white hair fluttering in the wind.

Rasa never let them know about Yekura's betrayal.

After being relentlessly questioned, she finally learned the truth, which only fueled her resentment.

"Yakura..."

She spoke in a low voice.

"That's enough. Sunagakure is already badly injured. If you truly care about the village, put aside this hatred."

"Let it go? Weren't you high-ranking officials the ones who betrayed me back then? And now you dare to presumptuously advise me!"

Ye Cang sneered.

Before she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and several "Burning" fireballs suddenly broke free of their trajectory, turning into blazing meteors that crashed down.

The screams and the explosions rang out almost simultaneously.

The flames engulfed several high-ranking members of the Sand Village who were unable to escape in time; their figures twisted in the flames and turned to ashes in an instant.

Chiyo clenched her fists, surrounded by puppets.

She never expected that Yekura would kill a high-ranking member of Sunagakure right before her eyes.

"This is the price they have to pay. Traitors have no right to live."

The air was thick with tension, and all the Sand Village ninjas around were silent.

Only Rasa was still alive, and because of his strength, Yekura was unable to kill him immediately.

Luo Sha's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was pounding like a drum.

He understood that Yecang was about to unleash his final rage entirely on him.

If this continues, he might be able to defeat Yekura.

However, public opinion has already lost miserably.

Initially, Rasa thought he could quickly kill Yokura and cover up the matter.

Yekura's strength far exceeded his expectations.

"What traitor? I don't understand..."

Luo Sha still wanted to keep Ye Cang in check.

Ye Cang was too lazy to say anything more to Luo Sha, and with a cold snort, the "Burning" escape technique exploded at her fingertips.

"Abolish Rasa's position as Kazekage. What right does someone who betrays his comrades and pushes them to the enemy have to become the Fourth Kazekage?"

As she questioned him, the onlookers ninjas also began to shout excitedly:

"Those who don't cherish their comrades are useless!"

"Lord Yekura is a hero of Sunagakure, how could he treat her like this..."

"Not worthy of being a Kazekage!"

The cries converged like waves, pressing down on Luo Sha's chest and making him feel suffocated.

His face was ashen, and the gold dust beneath his feet churned unconsciously, as if it were about to engulf everything at any moment.

His clenched fist trembled with the force of his grip, and fear gripped his heart: Oh no... Yekura has taken the initiative.

If it were on a battlefield, he might be able to defeat his opponent and quell the storm with his strength.

But if he were to act rashly in front of everyone now, he would only crush his remaining reputation into dust.

It's not a good time to make a move now.

Luo Sha gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice:

"This...this is a misunderstanding, everyone, please let me explain."

But his voice seemed insignificant amidst the thousands of questions and roars.

Chiyo frowned and let out a long sigh.

Luo Sha, this man, was indeed a qualified Kazekage, ruthless and decisive, but it was precisely because he personally promoted Ye Cang and then pushed him into the abyss that he is now reaping the consequences of his actions.

"Luo Sha, you have betrayed me, and you will pay for it with your life!"

Yekura now wishes she could kill Rasa.

Just then, a deep voice came from outside the crowd.

"Ye Cang."

The voice was neither hurried nor slow, yet it carried an inexplicable power, overwhelming the noisy voices and howling flames.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure slowly walking in from behind.

Everyone voluntarily made way for each other.

That's Qing Si.
