Chapter 1039 Loophole
"Gaara's condition is much better now." Maki said, looking at Chiyo.
I remembered the time when I went to the hospital to visit Gaara.
Gaara's condition now feels much better than before for some reason.
Even when facing him, the expression on her face was much kinder than before.
"That's good. Who knows? We may need Gaara's power in the end." Grandma Chiyo said with a little tiredness.
Although it had only been a few days since the Sand Village and Sound Ninja retreated from Konoha, Chiyo already felt physically and mentally exhausted.
First of all, there is the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, Rasa, who for some unknown reason did not return to the village.
Then there was this invasion of Konoha launched in collaboration with the Sound Ninja.
It was obvious that the battle between the two families had failed so badly that they could not fail again.
And judging from their respective sizes, it is obvious that they, the Sand Village, were tricked by their allies the Sound Ninjas this time.
The Fourth Kazekage Rasa rashly joined forces with the Sound Ninja to attack Konoha without consulting them.
This made Chiyo very angry.
But even if the battle fails, Luo Sha, as the Kazekage, cannot not come back.
Now they have left behind such a mess.
These days, Chiyo had to organize the ninja army to prevent Konoha's attack, and also worry about the guys from the Land of Earth launching a sneak attack on the Land of Wind.
In short, Chiyo felt more exhausted during these few days than in the previous year.
Bang! !
Suddenly, an Anbu from Sunagakure rushed into the meeting room in a panic.
Chiyo, Ebizo, Maki and the others all looked towards the door.
"What's going on? Why are you so flustered?" Before everyone could speak.
Maki was the first to stand up.
He shouted at the Sand Village Anbu who broke in.
As the border defense chief of the Sand Village, Maki is in charge of the village's Anbu and border defense.
His subordinates were so flustered.
This made him, the minister, feel ashamed.
"Ma, Lord Maki!" The Sand Village Anbu member at the door still had a frightened look on his face.
While speaking, this Sunagakure Anbu kept glancing in the direction of Chiyo and the others.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Maki frowned and ordered the Anbu.
"Yes!!"
The ANBU swallowed.
Then he stammered, "Master Maki, Master Chiyo, when we were on patrol..."
Having said this, the Anbu still paused.
As if what he was about to say next was shocking: "We found the body of Master Kazekage during our patrol."
After saying this, the Anchang let out a sigh of relief.
Finally said it.
"What???"
There was a bang.
Chiyo stood up suddenly.
The chair behind him fell uncontrollably to the ground because of the violent movement of standing up just now.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Chiyo's actions were like a chain reaction.
There were clanging sounds in the conference room.
It showed how shocked everyone in the conference room was at the news.
"Say it again!!" Maki appeared in front of the Sand Village Anbu in an instant.
He grabbed the collar of the Anbu's clothes, stared at him with wide eyes.
He really wanted this Anbu to admit that he was a spy sent by Konoha to shake their military morale.
But the next words of this Anbu directly disappointed him.
"Lord Maki, seriously, I didn't lie." The Sand Village Anbu suppressed the fear in his heart and repeated what he had just said.
"Take me there quickly!" Chiyo pulled away Maki's hand that was holding the Anbu's.
He gave the order to the Sand Village Anbu.
"Yes!" the Anbu nodded.
Then he just disappeared.
Chiyo, Ebizo, Maki and others immediately left and disappeared in the conference room.
The border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire.
Chiyo and Maki were standing on the edge of the cliff.
He looked at the two bodies under the cliff with an extremely grim expression.
There was also an elderly man next to the two bodies.
This person is Chiyo's younger brother Ebizo.
Ebizo waved his hand gently, and with Ebizo's movement, a whirlwind rose beside the two corpses.
Swish! !
The whirlwind swept up the rotting maggots and flies from the corpses.
Ebizo squatted down.
He carefully examined the two bodies on the ground.
Every time he checked a place, Ebizo's expression became more unpleasant.
After a while, Ebizo suddenly stood up straight.
Whoosh whoosh! !
Ebizo made a few leaps and appeared at the edge of the cliff.
"Sister!!" Ebizo shouted to Grandma Chiyo.
"Ah!!" Ebizo's shout was heard.
Chiyo couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Although I had already prepared myself mentally before coming here.
But once I really knew the truth, I felt relieved.
In fact, after seeing Ebizo examining the corpse over and over again, Chiyo had already come to an understanding in her mind.
If the two bodies on the ground were not Rasa's, Ebizo should have come up long ago.
Why check again and again?
"What happened?" Although I had a result in mind, I still had to ask.
"Sister, it is indeed the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and his close minister Senyan." Ebizo nodded and said affirmatively.
He checked it seven or eight times before finally confirming it. There was absolutely no way it could be wrong.
"When did it happen?" Chiyo asked, looking at the corpse below.
"The time of death was two days before the Chunin Exams." Ebizo answered affirmatively.
"So, it's time for us to sign the contract with the Sound Ninja?" Chiyo said after secretly calculating the time.
"Yes, that's right!" Ebizō nodded.
"Maki, was the order to go to Konoha and join forces with the Sound Ninja to attack Konoha given by the Fourth Kazekage himself?" Chiyo asked.
When Maki heard Chiyo's question, he was stunned at first.
Then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He stuttered and said, "No...no..."
"This time the order was given directly by the Fourth Kazekage using a mission scroll."
"The contact person for the Otonin was also designated by the Fourth Kazekage..."
Maki's voice trailed off.
I wouldn’t know it if I didn’t tell you, now that I think about it.
This plan of jointly attacking Konoha with the Sound Ninja seemed so hasty and full of loopholes.
This time, the plan to destroy Konoha by joining forces with the Sound Ninja does not stand up to scrutiny.
Such a major plan was only issued a few days before its implementation.
And such an important plan would completely exclude the two elders of the village, Grandma Chiyo and Ebizo.
