Chapter 316 The Fourth Kazekage Defects

What on earth does that trash Yashamaru do?

Even if the assassination failed and the jinchūriki went berserk, why are they still embarrassed to live in the ninja world? Didn’t you keep saying that you loved Gaara the most? Why can't you do this little thing well?

After secretly cursing Yashamaru, the Fourth Kazekage said with a serious face:

"Yes, it was my order to assassinate Gaara. Gaara's growth rate is too slow. I hope to stimulate his growth through this method so that he can become a qualified Jinchuuriki as soon as possible and serve the village."

In the opinion of the Fourth Kazekage, his behavior was a little extreme at best, but it was not a fault.

Yashamaru is his direct subordinate and Gaara is his son. He has absolute authority over both of them. Even if he accidentally kills Gaara, it will not cause much loss to the village.

As for Gaara's rampage, that's not even a problem.

I just had something to delay today. Normally, if Gaara went berserk, he would be able to suppress it at any time.

However, after the explanation given by the Fourth Kazekage, the expressions of Chiyo and others did not improve. They still stared at the Fourth Kazekage with hostility in their eyes.

The Fourth Kazekage's cold-bloodedness frightened them.

How could the Fourth Kazekage calmly issue such a cruel order? He asked his wife's brother to assassinate his son just because he was not satisfied with his son's growth progress.

Such behavior made the Sand Ninjas feel that the Fourth Kazekage was more like a monster than a jinchuriki, and more like an emotionless beast than Shukaku.

Now the Fourth Kazekage can sacrifice his son and brother-in-law for the village, but in the future he will not sacrifice them in the name of the village and let them kill the people they care about with their own hands?

Moreover, the Fourth Kazekage's cold-blooded actions only increased the possibility that the Fourth Kazekage was the murderer.

After sighing softly, Elder Chiyo looked at the Fourth Kazekage and said a little tiredly: "So, Rasa, do you admit that you gave Yashamaru the order to assassinate Jinchuuriki?"

The Fourth Kazekage nodded, there was nothing bad to admit.

Elder Chiyo continued: "Then you also admit that you and Orochimaru secretly cooperated and joined forces to attack the Third Kazekage ten years ago?"

The Fourth Kazekage nodded, then immediately realized what was wrong and retorted:

"Elder Chiyo, I only reached a trade agreement with Orochimaru. When did I attack the Third Generation?"

"Not to mention that the Third Generation is currently missing, and when the Third Generation disappeared, I stayed in the village all the time. I have no reason to attack the Third Generation?"

"Elder Qiandai, have you been bewitched and deceived by a villain?"

Elder Chiyo shook his head: "No one is confusing me. This is the suspicion that I and the jounin have on you. Only you know best whether the third generation is missing or dead."

"Chiyo Jounin! This is a false accusation!" the Fourth Kazekage said angrily.

Elder Chiyo extended his hand to signal, and two Sand Ninja immediately walked towards the Fourth Kazekage:

"Boy Luo Sha, it's better to return to the village with me. There are some things that need to be investigated before we can draw a conclusion. Although you are now the biggest suspect in the murder of the Third Kazekage."

"I will return to the village, but I have no obligation to prove my innocence and will not be responsible for these illusory things."

The Fourth Kazekage glanced at Chiyo, and golden sand appeared around him:

"You guys had better explain everything to me clearly, otherwise I will attack you in the name of Feng Ying."

Elder Chiyo took a deep look at the Fourth Kazekage and asked Jounin Maki to step forward to explain.

"Master Yondaime, the village was attacked by Shukaku two hours ago. No one was Shukaku's opponent. At the critical moment, Scorpion stood up and sealed Shukaku."

"scorpion?"

The Fourth Kazekage was slightly startled. Wasn't it true that Scorpion was confirmed to be missing a long time ago?

And isn't Scorpion a puppet master? How could he have the ability to seal Shukaku, and how could he get involved with the Third Kazekage?

Jonin Maggi saw the Fourth Kazekage's confusion and continued: "The Fourth Kazekage, the Scorpion Seal Shukaku used the Kazekage puppet made by the Third Kazekage."

Hearing this, the Fourth Kazekage was even more confused. Since it was Xiao who took out the Kazekage puppet, then Xiao should be the biggest suspect in killing Kazekage. Shouldn't Xiao be suspected? How could you doubt yourself?

After taking a deep breath, the fourth Kazekage said: "Where is Xion now? Didn't you go to arrest Xion? Why did you come to find me? The Feng Ying puppets are all on him, he must be the murderer."

Jounin Maji didn't dare to look into the Fourth Kazekage's eyes and said:

"Master Yondaime, we thought so before, but Xie didn't run away or take action against us, plus he just saved the village."

"So we think that Scorpion is not necessarily the murderer of Sandai, and if he is really the murderer, why risk being suspected by using the Kazekage puppet?"

"The Jinchuuriki's rampage is not because of Scorpion, but because of you..."

"So you suspect that I am the murderer?" The Fourth Kazekage was so angry that even the sand was trembling. He could hardly control his chakra.

Jonin Maki shook his head and said:

"We don't doubt you. We just don't think Scorpion is the murderer. But just now we saw you and Orochimaru hooking up and discussing the betrayal of the village's interests. And you also admitted that you and Orochimaru have been cooperating in private."

"so…"

Having said this, Jounin Maki raised his head and said firmly:

"We all suspect that you are the murderer. After all, if the Third Generation Eye had not died, you would not have become the Fourth Kazekage now. Although you have provided funds for the village over the years, if you had not signed those agreements with Konoha, the village would not have been able to do so. It won’t be reduced to what it is now.”

Faced with Jonin Maki's inference and the suspicious looks from the Suna ninja around him, the Fourth Kazekage didn't know how to refute.

How to explain that he is innocent and that everything he does is for the village.

Looking at the sand ninja walking towards him step by step, the Fourth Kazekage's heart rose with unknown flames. He stretched out his hand towards the void and grabbed countless golden sands in his hands.

Immediately afterwards, the Fourth Kazekage manipulated the sand to attack the Sand Ninjas.

Countless golden sands were shot at the Sand Ninja like shotguns. Elder Chiyo quickly summoned a puppet to block the front, and used the puppet to block the golden sands' attack.

After the attack failed, the Fourth Kazekage calmed down and knew that he could not attack the Suna Ninja.

After gritting his teeth, the Fourth Kazekage formed a seal with his hands and left the mine with the help of the cover of golden sand, heading towards the depths of the desert.
