Yekura stepped forward and grasped Tsunade's hand, ignoring Kiyoshi.

She could tell that Tsunade was in charge this time, representing the name of Konoha.

The others were accompanying people, essentially bodyguards.

"Hello."

Tsunade and Yekura shook hands briefly before separating.

Neither of them mentioned the unpleasantness that Sunagakure had had with Konoha in the past.

If you want to cooperate, you have to put aside past grievances.

Immediately, Yekura led Tsunade, Kiyoshi, and the others towards the village.

Tsunade and Kiyoshi, having been here before, seemed much more at ease.

Minato Namikaze and Might Guy were visiting Sunagakure for the first time.

"It's similar to the structure of the outside world."

Namikaze Minato said secretly.

He had only ever carried out missions in the deserts of the Land of Wind before, and this was his first time inside Sunagakure.

Sunagakure Village is situated in a corner of the desert, and is one of the large oases in the desert.

The land here is sunken into a strange shape, which doesn't look like a naturally formed terrain at all.

Some people privately speculate that this terrain might have been created in a mythical era by gods such as Susanoo or Amaterasu using their divine power of creation.

Of course, some people say it's because of the Sage of Six Paths.

There are various opinions, but no definitive conclusion has been reached.

"Wait a minute, isn't this ninja wearing a headscarf coming with us?"

Kiyoshi looked at a figure who had suddenly left the Sunagakure team and spoke.

“That’s Yura. He’s in charge of guarding the area and he’s leading the way for us.”

Yekura offered an explanation.

"Yeah."

Kiyoshi's expression was playful.

In the original story, Yura was controlled by "Sasori of the Red Sand" and became his subordinate and inside man.

He assisted Deidara in invading Sunagakure by guiding him and also killed many of the Sunagakure ninja responsible for defense.

It can be said that no one in Sunagakure expected that the ever-loyal Yura would betray them.

The ability to control human consciousness has never been exclusive to illusion.

Many other techniques can also achieve this.

Moreover, it can be even more concealed than illusions in some ways.

For example, the Scorpion's "Mind-Controlling Sand Technique" works by inserting an extremely small needle through the memory center of the human brain, thereby sealing the object's memory.

The terrifying thing about this technique is that there is no fluctuation of chakra; only the Byakugan's X-ray vision can detect it.

Danzo's use of Shisui's Sharingan during the Five Kage Summit was discovered by Ao because Ao had seen the color of Shisui's chakra.

Normal people's chakra is blue, but Shisui's is emerald green. Danzo's left eye harbors a large amount of this chakra, so it's easy to tell that something is wrong at a glance.

The needles used in the "Submerged Mind Sand Manipulation Technique" are extremely fine; they are virtually undetectable unless examined closely with the White Eye.

So... even Yura himself wouldn't know that he was an inside man that Sasori had cultivated long ago.

……

Another place in the desert.

"The art of eternity is already half complete."

The voice of a handsome young man could be heard coming from a cave.

He had short red hair and smooth skin.

But upon closer inspection, the skin appears to be merely a layer of human skin, like that of a puppet doll.

"Lord Scorpion..."

As he stumbled into the cave in a daze, Sasori temporarily removed Yura's spell, and his memories immediately returned.

Yura immediately realized his true identity.

He knelt on one knee, with utmost respect.

"Has Uchiha Kiyoshi arrived in Sunagakure?"

Scorpion asked.

He learned of this news through other channels.

However, such important news needs to be examined from multiple perspectives.

"Yes, Princess Tsunade, 'Yellow Flash' Minato Namikaze, and the recently famous 'Azure Beast' Might Guy also arrived."

Yura shared the information she knew.

"Hmph, Uchiha Kiyoshi."

Scorpion's handsome face showed an expression.

That was... anger.

Uchiha Kiyoshi lured him into killing the Third Kazekage prematurely, and then used genjutsu to interrogate him about his ninjutsu skills.

He still remembers this loss.

As a result, Sasori modified his left eye, giving it a miniature telescope with an extremely small pupil, allowing him to concentrate chakra for extended periods and thus enhancing his perception.

This results in his greatly increased resistance to illusions.

"Notify me immediately of any further activity in the village."

Scorpion gave the order.

"Yes, Lord Scorpion."

Yura exited the cave.

After returning to Sunagakure, his mind suddenly went blank.

"Hey, what did I just do?"

Yura thought for a while but couldn't come up with an answer.

I'm wondering if I have Alzheimer's disease and whether I should take some time to go to the hospital for a checkup.

……

Meanwhile, Kiyoshi and the others finally entered the Kazekage Building.

Compared to the Hokage Building in Konoha, this place is much simpler.

"Welcome, envoys from Konoha who have traveled from afar."

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, smiled, wearing the Kazekage's signature divine robe.

But the Konoha group didn't smile.

Tsunade frowned even more.

Because they saw... Hidden Clouds here!

It is unclear whether Konoha reacted or not, but Kumogakure did as well.

One of the women, in particular, with light skin, was staring intently at Kiyoshi.

His eyes burned with desire, as if he wanted nothing more than to snatch Kiyoshi away.

This undisguised gaze made Tsunade inexplicably uncomfortable.

She took a step forward, crossed her arms, and the heavy weight fell on them.

Mabuyi could only see a ravine blocking Qing Si's view.

"Yo yo~ This is fate's arrangement~ A miracle has happened~~~!"

Kirabi made strange hand gestures and spoke in a rapping tone.

They actually ran into Kiyoshi here!

If we can bring it back, we can fulfill the long-cherished wish that the Third Raikage was unable to complete!

It was also the Fourth Raikage's wish to fulfill for his father.

"Bei, calm down."

"The Eight-Tailed Gyūki spoke in the spiritual world."

He had a good relationship with Chirabi, which allowed him to observe the outside world without any obstruction.

"That was something Youlv mentioned about the existence of a possible 'Child of Prophecy.'"

The eight-tailed ox-ghost secretly said.

The eight octopus-like tails behind him swayed and slapped against the surface of the water in his mental world.

They, the tailed beasts, lived carefree in the ninja world for thousands of years.

The only thing the Sage of Six Paths left them was a promise.

When the appointed time arrives, the nine tailed beasts will gather together to protect the boy who calls upon the name of the nine-headed beast.

At that time, the world will undergo a transformation.

"what happened?"

Killer Bee noticed the strange attention the Eight-Tails was paying to Kiyoshi.

"It's nothing, it's just a comparison."

Eight-tailed Fox slowly shook its head, silently apologizing.

This matter is of great importance and cannot be disclosed casually.

For each of the tailed beasts, the Sage of Six Paths was like a father figure. Without the Sage of Six Paths using the Yin-Yang Release technique to divide the Ten-Tails into nine chakra groups, they would not exist today.

Seeing this, Killer Bee suppressed his thoughts.

The same scene unfolded in the mental world of the teakman, causing a slight change in his expression.

Kiyoshi was taller than Tsunade, so by slightly raising his head, he could see over Tsunade's fair neck and spot the group from Kumogakure ahead.

"Two tailed beast jinchūriki have arrived. Is Rasa really not afraid that Kumogakure will launch a surprise attack on Sunagakure from here?"

Qingsi thought to himself.

The next moment, his doubts were explained.

Both Killer Bee and Yugito bear traces of sealing techniques, clearly a countermeasure taken by Sunagakure.

Yunyin probably agreed to this request out of sincerity.

Furthermore, Kiyoshi could also sense another massive tailed beast chakra near the Kazekage Building.

The tailed beast possessed by Sunagakure is... the One-Tailed Beast.

Kiyoshi analyzed the information before him.

That sealing technique probably couldn't completely control Yugito and Killer Bee; it could only mean that their combined strength would drop to the level of the One-Tailed Beast, which is why Rasa was so bold.

"As expected, he is the kind of person who can seal a one-tailed beast inside his own son."

Kiyoshi glanced at Rasa; in a sense, this man was the Danzo of Sunagakure.

To achieve their goals, they will stop at nothing.

It's important to know that at the time, Gaara was just an embryo still developing inside Karura. Rasa directly attacked Karura, who was pregnant, and transplanted the Tailed Beast into Gaara through Karura.

Luo Sha's move can only be described as a high-stakes gamble.

If you lose the bet, your son will die, your wife will die, and even your tail will go berserk.
