At the entrance of Sunagakure.
Baki, his head wrapped in a white cloth that covered half his face, was dressed in the standard Sunagakure ninja attire. His back was straight as he stood beside the village gate, gazing out at the vast sea of sand, watching the bird shadow that was gradually becoming clearer in the sky.
As a representative of Sunagakure, he should maintain a good composure and appearance to welcome the envoys from other ninja villages, showcasing the spirit of Sunagakure. He should always remain calm…
But when the strange-looking clay giant bird landed in front of him, and three figures emerged from the sandstorm, his face twitched uncontrollably.
A human-shaped Venus flytrap, black on the left and white on the right, a hideous dwarf, and Deidara, a rogue ninja from Iwagakure.
Baki's body suddenly tensed, like a cheetah entering a hunting state, ready to strike at any moment.
Deidara and the other two noticed Baki's subtle movements, but they didn't pay much heed. They weren't here to pick a fight; they were here to discuss a partnership.
"We are messengers from Amegakure."
Are you sure about that? I've never seen a ninja without a forehead protector! And there's a rogue ninja from Iwagakure in your group! Baki gave Deidara a strange look. The Tsuchikage's disciple in Amegakure's management? Ōnoki would go crazy!
Aren't you worried about Iwagakure causing trouble? "Where's your identification?" Baki asked, remaining vigilant.
To prevent those with ulterior motives from impersonating messenger groups and infiltrating the village, there are specific verification methods used in exchanges between villages.
Black Zetsu: "..."
Sasori: "..."
Deidara: "..."
After Baki's question, the three of them suddenly remembered they didn't have any identification documents.
The Akatsuki had never intended to have friendly relations with other ninja villages, so they naturally didn't care about the rules between the villages. Lawless was the best way to describe them.
Now, the Akatsuki had suddenly changed, intending to have friendly exchanges with other ninja villages, but the behavioral habits they had cultivated for a long time couldn't be changed just like that.
Furthermore, after using the group chat to communicate, Black Zetsu hadn't expected that they'd need other documents to prove their identities.
Is that old hag Chiyo getting senile? What a scam!
Staring at the silent trio, Baki's expression gradually became stiff. His right hand stealthily moved behind his back, gripping a cylindrical object.
If the three people in front of him showed any sign of hostility, he would immediately flee and signal for backup.
"Wait a moment." Black Zetsu raised his pale hand, signaling Baki to wait, then contacted Chiyo privately.
After a brief exchange, Black Zetsu said to Baki again, "Wait a moment."
After the four of them stood in silence in the sandstorm for a while, a member of the ANBU rushed to Baki's side, conveying the Kazekage's order.
"My apologies for my earlier rudeness!" Baki said formally.
Black Zetsu urged, "No matter, the important matter is at hand."
Hearing this, Baki led the three of them towards the village, saying, "Please, follow me."
Kazekage's office, the conference room.
Inside the room, seated around a circular table, were all the figures of power in Sunagakure: Rasa the Kazekage, the advisors Chiyo and Ebizo, along with the managers of all the village departments.
As the Black Zetsu trio entered, they immediately felt many gazes upon them.
Sasori raised his eyes and saw that there were quite a few familiar faces. He silently followed Baki into the room and sat in the empty seat next to him, quietly watching Chiyo.
Chiyo also quietly observed Sasori. With her status as a top-tier puppeteer, she could tell at a glance that the 'person' before her was a puppeteer.
Are there puppeteers in Amegakure?
The environment of the Land of Rain was terrible for puppeteers; the humid climate was not conducive to the preservation of puppets.
"I am Black Zetsu, the leader of the Amegakure delegation. I am fully responsible for this exchange."
Black Zetsu immediately spoke after taking his seat. Deidara's artistic mind was obviously not suitable for communication, and Sasori had no intention of speaking at all, remaining silent like a puppet.
"Hello, regarding..." Rasa had just begun to speak when he was interrupted by a loud "bang."
The door of the meeting room suddenly shattered, and the broken pieces of wood were propelled outwards by a powerful force.
Everyone in the room was no simple character. Even when suddenly attacked, they could still respond calmly, effortlessly dodging the flying wooden fragments by tilting their heads and sidestepping.
After dodging the attack, a towering rage erupted.
Someone dared to shatter the conference room door! They were showing a complete lack of respect for the key figures of Sunagakure!
And to do it in front of the other Hidden Villages! This was a disgrace for Sunagakure!
It was a matter of honor! How could they not be furious?!
The powerful figures of Sunagakure all turned their heads, glaring at the doorway.
"Who?!!"
As the angry roar left their mouths, the expressions of Sunagakure's key figures all froze. They stared blankly at the woman at the door, their expressions gradually becoming strange.
She… looked a little familiar.
Black Zetsu, who was ready to flee at any moment, relaxed slightly when he saw the expressions of the Sunagakure ninjas. He had thought that Sunagakure was luring them in to kill them, planning to eliminate the other members who were competing with them for resources.
"Looks like that's not the case!"
Black Zetsu's gaze also shifted towards the doorway, but preparations to escape did not cease.
"Hoh~~! Interesting!"
Sasori, hidden within his puppet, had already recognized the person at the door. He seemed to want to smile, but the puppet's body wouldn't allow him to curl his lips.
Deidara was eager to give it a go, seemingly wanting to take action, but Sasori used the puppet's tail to tap him on the head.
Rubbing his head, Deidara sat properly in his seat.
"Ka… Karura?!"
Rasa looked at the woman at the door, who resembled an enraged tigress, and his lips trembled slightly.
Rasa didn't doubt Karura's identity, because he had already seen Gaara, who was wearing a very familiar bracelet.
"Rasa!!!"
Karura roared, lunging forward in a flash.
Her fist slammed into Rasa's unprepared right cheek. Rasa was sent spiraling upward, before crashing to the ground, unconscious.
Sssssss—!
Everyone from Sunagakure present collectively inhaled a breath of sand-tinged air, instinctively leaning back.
In their memory, Karura was known for her gentle nature, a woman as soft as water.
Yet, the Karura before them was fiery, like a lit powder keg.
What on earth had Rasa done to enrage Karura so much?!
As they pondered, they saw Gaara at the doorway, and their confusion vanished.
As a mother who would protect her son even in death, it was only natural for her to be angry after knowing the hellish life her son had endured after her death.
Rasa, you're done for!
The people of Sunagakure all cast sympathetic glances at Rasa.
Sasori's gaze was fixed on Karura's figure, and he murmured internally, Mother?
Muyang turned off his optical computer's recording function, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

"Oh! How pitiful, how pitiful! Hahahahahaha…" Shukaku, perched on Muyang's shoulder, laughed.
"Haha, serves him right, serves him right!" Shukaku, perched atop Gaara's head, laughed.
The sharp laughter drew everyone's attention, and they turned to look at the doorway again, all with astonished expressions.
"Shu… Shukaku, there are two?!!!"
Mu… Muyang!!!
Black Zetsu and Chiyo stared at Muyang, who had appeared without them noticing, their hearts filled with shock.
