Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 543 The Eight Trigrams Suffer a Tragic Backlash

Is it possible that the underground black market is spreading rumors by making these gossip stories?

They also have something to say.

The ninja world is now at peace, and with the reforms led by the five great ninja villages, the ninja villages and nations are now linked, and the mission system is more comprehensive.

They're almost out of living space, okay?

After accumulating so many reputation points, it's time to withdraw them.

Besides, they've all made it clear that this is gossip news; it's problematic who takes it seriously, okay?

Besides, they're not afraid of anyone coming to their door.

The things the underground black market did were far worse than spreading gossip about the ninja world; they offered bounties on key figures from various ninja villages, yet none of them suffered any devastating retaliation.

Now, avoiding a few people who come knocking on my door because of gossip is a piece of cake.

Besides, they're just earning money to avoid going bankrupt during the career transition.

If we're really talking about influence, shouldn't we assassinate Kakashi, the one who wrote this masterpiece, first?

-

An hour later, at the Flying Thunder Array teleportation point in Sunagakure Village, there were quite a few people this time.

At the insistence of the gossip trio, Yekura also decided to go to Kirigakure with them.

Rasa betrayed him to Kirigakure, causing her, a renowned war hero, to be ambushed and riddled with kunai.

Because she never expected to be betrayed, she was completely unprepared and didn't even have time to use her ninjutsu.

Ironically, Luo Sha's death was also due to being betrayed.

It is undeniable that Rasa collaborated with Orochimaru, but was ultimately assassinated by Orochimaru's men; even Orochimaru himself admitted it.

The key question is how Rasa died.

The autopsy report from Sunagakure showed that Rasa suffered a fatal penetrating wound to his heart, but had almost no other injuries, and even his clothes were intact.

Not only Rasa, but also the two Sunagakure ANBU guards who died with him were like that.

The scene didn't look like a fierce battle had taken place at all.

The implications of this are self-evident, aren't they?

Luo Sha's method is to control the golden sand. Once the battle begins, it will inevitably be a massive upheaval, with a huge commotion.

As a result, there was nothing at the crime scene.

All signs indicate that Rasa was eating hot pot and singing with Orochimaru when he was stabbed to death.

What else could it be? Was Luo Sha too weak and got instantly killed?

In short, this is the conclusion that Sunagakure reached.

After observing for so many days, Pakura has let go of her hatred for Sunagakure.

The only one left is Kirigakure, the village that used the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique on her; they are the ones who truly killed her.

At that time, Sunagakure was fighting on two fronts against Kirigakure and Iwagakure.

Yekura is an important fighting force on the Kirigakure front.

Her Scorching Release is not only not countered by Water Release like Fire Release, but it can also evaporate Water Release, including the mist that is the signature feature of Kirigakure.

When killing the Hidden Mist Village ninja, Pakura felt no guilt whatsoever, and even felt that she was ridding the ninja world of a menace.

When Yekura suggested going to Kirigakure, Naruto, unaware of the situation, immediately agreed with "Okay, okay," as if as long as there were enough people in the group and it was lively enough, that was fine.

However, Kakashi, Gaara, and the others who knew the situation immediately realized that something was wrong.

Kakashi didn't speak, but simply turned his gaze to Gaara.

With Feng Ying present, there was no need for him to ask.

"Senior Yekura, what do you want to do by going to Kirigakure?"

Gaara was blunt and asked the question directly.

Gaara's attitude immediately prompted the gossip trio to whisper among themselves, and they shared their findings with the onlookers.

The person whose story was shared with was immediately saddened.

As expected, what Masaki and the others said was true.

The Kazekage doesn't like girls; he likes Naruto Uzumaki.

You see, Gaara is incredibly patient with male ninjas, even those with differing political views, but he doesn't have any of those complicated feelings when it comes to female ninjas.

"You guessed right, I went to Kirigakure for revenge—or more precisely, to see if I still needed revenge."

Yekura was quite pleased with Gaara's direct approach and gave a direct answer in return.

It's not actually that direct.

After all, the first part of the sentence caused the surrounding air temperature to drop a bit.

Only after he said the second half of the sentence did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

—You know, Madara Uchiha hasn't left yet.

The last law enforcement officer who tried to disrupt the peace was forced to his knees and beg for mercy, and finally realized his mistake.

If Yekura had spoken the second half of her sentence a little slower, "Uchiha Madara" might have charged over with a speaker again.

"The ninjas of Kirigakure, who live beneath the Blood Mist Village, are all madmen. They are willing to kill even their own people with a single blow, just to prevent any possible leaks of information."

I want to see what Kirigakure, which is said to have now broken free of the blood mist, is like.

And what kind of woman is the new Mizukage who broke the Blood Mist policy?

Ye Cang was completely unaware that she had already made a trip to the Elbow Gate Pass, and was still earnestly explaining her ideas.

"I see. That's good. Senior Yekura, please give my regards to the Mizukage."

Gaara breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Indeed, even though former war heroes are burdened with hatred, they are still kind at heart.

however……

"What? What does Lady Yekura mean by that?"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I know!—Lady Yekura actually liked girls, which is why she was single during her lifetime. This time, she heard about the Fifth Mizukage's beauty, so she wanted to..."

"It's true! I saw it, Lady Yekura even trimmed her nails~"

"?"

The people gossiping in Yecang were not the gossip trio, but rather the bystanders who had just been chatting with them.

Even if they were incredibly bold, they would never make such a joke in front of Ye Cang.

Moreover, one of them, Masaki, is a disciple of Yokura.

The gossip trio never expected that everyone in Sunagakure would be so talented and able to apply their knowledge to new situations.

This backfired on them.

Yekura was earnestly explaining why she went to Kirigakure when she heard this string of fabricated words coming from behind her, and her mind went blank. She didn't know what to say next.

Also, what does "cutting nails" mean? Why doesn't she understand?

She was reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation, and her fingernails don't grow long. Her current fingernails are the same length they were before she died. Why would you say she cut her fingernails?

What does that mean?

"Master, that's what they said, it has nothing to do with us—and it proves that thing again."

Masaki ran to Yokura's side and hurriedly explained.

"What does this prove?"

Ye Cang was confused.

"So the appearance of the Bond Type Ninja in the Ninja World has nothing to do with Bai Mo? We said before that if a male Bond Type Ninja sees Bai Mo as a delicacy, then he himself will be in danger."

Now there is another piece of evidence.

If a female ninja like you, Master, were to become a Bond-type ninja, wouldn't he inexplicably gain a bunch of competitors, perhaps even competitors who could easily overpower him?

Masaki said with a serious expression.
