Well, it really is just simple suspicion.
Chiyo looked worried. After going around in circles, she found nothing of value and could only say that things were just so-so. But what should she do?
That's hard to say.
We can't say anything else, but we still have to talk about this. But what about the suspects... Konoha, Konoha is the most suspicious, and the village that Chiyo and Ebizo are willing to do this for is Konoha.
However, without evidence, we can't make baseless accusations, especially if we actually release them; wouldn't that offend Konoha? Konoha is currently taking a hard line against external threats…
Without evidence, such baseless accusations could lead to serious consequences.
Moreover, even if there is evidence, given Konoha's current modus operandi, they might be questioned in return, especially considering Bai Mu's Uchiha style...
Chiyo dared not gamble, for if she did, it would mean disaster. So she could not accuse or say that, but does that mean the matter should just be left unresolved?
No, if the Wind Shadow is killed and this is left unresolved, it will truly become a laughing stock. So we can't just let it go like this, but how should we deal with it?
There's no way out, there really is no way out. If there were any other options, would we need to do this?
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. You can go back now. This matter will be investigated, so don't feel guilty..."
Chiyo intended to end the conversation, which was naturally a way of smoothing things over, and she also emphasized to Yekura that the fact that she was a suspect should not be taken lightly.
“I have no psychological burden. If it’s not me, then it’s not me. Besides, Luo Sha sent his secret agents to assassinate me. That’s the evidence. Compared to these unfounded accusations, what’s the point of saying anything without evidence? This is the real evidence.”
Yekura interrupted Chiyo, put away the scroll, and left the room.
Chiyo's face darkened instantly as she watched Yekura's departing figure.
Ebizo had no choice but to look at his sister and ask in a low voice, "Sister, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Chiyo said coldly. It would be a miracle if nothing happened. This Yekura was arrogant; did she really think she was so innocent?
This guy seems to have something going on, but I don't know what he's hiding, so this...
"Sister, what should we do next?"
Ebizo was also helpless. He really didn't expect Yokura to be so difficult to deal with. After a conversation, he didn't get anything out of it and was instead rebuffed by her.
"do not know."
Chiyo said with a dark expression.
How could she possibly know? All she could say was that things were very troublesome and very difficult to handle, but how exactly should she deal with it?
All we can say is wait, let's wait a little longer and continue the investigation.
If there were a way, we wouldn't have to do this, but since there is no other way, we can only wait for the investigation to be completed before making a public announcement, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
The Third Kazekage mysteriously disappeared, the Fourth Kazekage was killed, this...
Damn it, what sins has my Sunagakure committed?
Chiyo didn't understand, and she couldn't comprehend it.
All we can do is wait and keep waiting.
……
Yekura left the Kazekage Building.
She wasn't in a hurry to go home. Instead, she met some of her friends, as well as her special squad, which consisted mainly of chunin and genin.
There were only a little over fifty people, but they were all her former comrades-in-arms who fought alongside her on the battlefield. They were a special operations force that obeyed her orders.
Of course, the main thing is to spend money, to spend money wisely, to keep these people supporting you and maintaining their loyalty.
After all that trouble, she finally returned home.
Meanwhile, at home...
"Orochimaru, you've joined us and are hiding here."
Yecang was very unhappy about this. This cunning and venomous snake was truly impossible to guard against. However, I'm afraid I'm being watched by the village's secret police right now. Your appearance in my house like this...
Orochimaru, Orochimaru, do you think this is appropriate?
However, Orochimaru didn't care. Although Pakura harbored a great deal of resentment, Orochimaru simply ignored her.
"How's it going?"
For Orochimaru, only important matters matter. I'm not here to play games; I'm only here to help you rise to power. What if you don't become the Fifth Kazekage...?
That's what's interfering with me and hindering my progress.
"I'm just suspicious, but I have people in the village who support me and recommended me to become the Wind Shadow. Could this elder be one of your people?"
Yekura was very skeptical about this, and she didn't know if it was true, so she wanted to test the waters to see if there were any Konoha people in the village's council of elders.
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
Orochimaru didn't answer, but told her to remember one thing: never ask questions that shouldn't be asked.
"Can't I even ask? But if you put it that way, I actually think it is true." Ye Cang thought it wouldn't make sense if it wasn't.
Orochimaru ignored him, clearly not intending to waste time on this. His priority now was to rise to power, and he needed to be more proactive in that regard.
"Ye Cang, you need to be more proactive and secretly contact your old subordinates more often. Money is not a problem; there will definitely be enough funds. Spend as much as you want!"
Chapter 305: Onoki is very excited about the movements of Iwagakure.
Money is absolutely not a problem.
What I'm afraid of is that you don't dare to spend money, or you have nowhere to spend it.
If that's the case, then you've truly failed.
I'll say it again: don't let people down.
After all, you were chosen because of Bai Mu. If you cause him to fail... hehe, I really don't know what will happen to you.
Furthermore, the fate of Sunagakure is equally unpredictable.
You decide for yourself. Anyway, I've said everything I needed to say. If you can't figure it out yourself, then it's your own problem.
Yekura: "..."
Damn, this is a real pain.
For her, things became even more complicated.
"Orochimaru, it's not that I don't want to do things, it's just that things are difficult right now."
Am I unwilling to do things?
No, it's just that things are difficult to handle right now.
"Isn't it easy?"
Orochimaru frowned, needing to confirm whether what he said was right or wrong; the way he was speaking was making him a bit confused.
Honestly, what happened?
Things are really not right now.
"Because I am now under suspicion, there will inevitably be investigations and surveillance. How can I do anything under such circumstances?"
Yecang said, "It's not that I didn't want to do things, but that there's no way to do them. I'm being monitored and investigated. How can I move around?"
If I become even slightly active, it's easy to attract attention and arouse suspicion, which in turn makes my situation even more passive.
"No, this can't be delayed any longer." Orochimaru believed that delaying was unacceptable and that this matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible with a perfect outcome.
You're in a hurry, Ye has solved the problem.
Ye Cang shrugged and said, "I know you have a lot of opinions, but the key is that having a lot of opinions doesn't solve the fundamental problems."
what can I do?
Being monitored, that's the problem.
It's not that I don't want to participate in the event, but once I do, it will inevitably be monitored. So what am I supposed to do? Can I get things done? No, I really can't organize anything.
"Surveillance is not a problem, and it's feasible. You can't just say you're afraid and then not do anything, right?"
The problem is that Orochimaru is not satisfied, and he continues to raise questions about this issue.
I can't let this slide just because of your one or two sentences.
You have to do things and get things done, otherwise how can it work?
We support you, but we also expect you to get things done.
We can't say it's all up to us.
Especially this kind of thing...
Right? You have to rely on yourself no matter what. You can't just rely on others all the time, because relying on others doesn't guarantee success.
"Okay, I'll try my best, but I hope you don't make a mess of the village." Upon hearing this, Ye Cang could only say that he would try his best.
I'm not sure how.
I can only say I'll try my best, but whether it will actually work? I don't know, I'm not sure, I'm not sure.
"No, absolutely not." Orochimaru's figure disappeared into the darkness.
As she watched Orochimaru disappear and heard his last words, Yekura's expression was uncertain; she was unsure of what the future held for her.
Is this the right or wrong thing to do?
Well, whether it's right or wrong, I have no choice anymore.
Now that I've already participated in the operation to kill Rasa, I've made my choice: to kill the Fourth Kazekage and become the new Kazekage.
The future of Sunagakure still depends on me.
……
The country of earth, the village of Iwagakure.
Tsuchikage office.
Onoki slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"What? The Wind Shadow is dead?"
