Chapter 61: The Fourth Kazekage! The Gold Dust Ninja, Rasa
"You think everyone is like your brother-in-law!"
Tsunade rolled her eyes.
Of course, Tsunade understood what kind of person Aoyama Riuun was. If he cared about the position of ANBU Commander, that would be truly strange.
"But that's the ANBU Commander, after all!"
Nawaki said with some regret.
The power, so much of it.
"Don't worry! It won't be long before that position belongs to Hatake Sakumo!"
In comparison, Aoyama Riuun said very calmly.
The position of ANBU Commander might be good, but unfortunately, Aoyama Riuun had no interest in it.
At the very least, if the Hokage was Sarutobi Hiruzen, Aoyama Riuun couldn't bring himself to work for him.
He was afraid that while working for him, he'd end up hitting Sarutobi Hiruzen.
It couldn't be helped; that old man was becoming more and more punchable these days.
"Why? Didn't Hatake Sakumo voluntarily give up that position?"
Aoyama Riuun's words piqued everyone's curiosity.
Why would Hatake Sakumo take the position of ANBU Commander?
"Because the ninja world is about to fall into chaos!"
Aoyama Riuun smiled faintly.
In terms of time, the Third Kazekage should be disappearing soon. When that happens, the Third Great Ninja War will also begin.
As a transmigrator, Aoyama Riuun was very clear that there were not many years between the Second and Third Great Ninja Wars.
Compared to the Second Great Ninja War, where everyone fought their own battles, the Third Great Ninja War was completely different.
Sunagakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure directly joined forces to fight Konoha all at once.
It showed just how much Konoha's naturally superior geographical location was hated.
Konoha was fighting one against four. If it weren't for Konoha's abundance of talented people, it might have truly been destroyed.
"How do you know that?"
Aoyama Riuun knew such things clearly because he was a transmigrator. But Tsunade and the others did not know.
"I... I can predict the future, do you believe me?"
"Heh heh!"
Tsunade and Nawaki didn't say a word, both just rolled their eyes. It was obvious they didn't believe him.
"I believe you!"
But Kushina, at the side, nodded her head directly.
Ever since Kushina was saved by Aoyama Riuun that one time, she now practically saw him as an omnipotent being.
Forget about predicting the future; even if he said he could crush the five great ninja villages, Kushina would nod and believe him without a shred of doubt.
"Hahaha!"
Aoyama Riuun chuckled happily.
"Just watch calmly, it's about to get chaotic!"
Tsunade and the others thought that the chaos Aoyama Riuun spoke of might just be the appearance of some difficult ninja, requiring Konoha to have Hatake Sakumo as the ANBU Commander.
What Tsunade and the others didn't know was that the chaos Aoyama Riuun spoke of was referring to the Great Ninja War!
...
Not long after, Aoyama Riuun's words were verified.
Because in Sunagakure, the one known as the strongest in history, the Third Kazekage, had disappeared!
That's right, disappeared, without a sound or a trace, and no one knew why.
Following this, the Gold Dust ninja Rasa was pushed forward to take the position of Acting Kazekage. Only an acting, not the true Kazekage, with the possibility of being kicked out at any time.
Even Elder Chiyo, who had been in seclusion, was sought out to preside over the situation once again.
Elder Chiyo herself couldn't refuse.
But, disappearing along with the Third Kazekage was Elder Chiyo's grandson, Sasori of the Red Sand.
"It should be impossible, right!"
In the Sunagakure council room, Elder Chiyo felt a chill as she thought about it deeply, and she quickly shook her head.
Her grandson disappeared at the same time as the Third Kazekage. Elder Chiyo was aware that Sasori of the Red Sand had recently started researching human puppets.
Although Elder Chiyo had sternly rebuked him, who knew what he was doing in private?
Sasori of the Red Sand was taught personally by Elder Chiyo herself. His strength, his talent, Elder Chiyo knew them all clearly.
He couldn't win in a frontal assault, but what about using poison?
At this, Elder Chiyo closed her eyes in pain.
Had her grandson finally walked down that path?
"Elder Chiyo?"
In the council room, all the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure were present.
The Acting Kazekage, Rasa, looked at Elder Chiyo with concern.
"Elder Chiyo, you must take care of your health. Sunagakure needs you!"
But in his heart, Rasa was cursing thoroughly. This old hag, why isn't she dead yet?
If it weren't for Elder Chiyo, Rasa might have directly become the Fourth Kazekage, unlike now, where he was only an Acting Kazekage.
But Elder Chiyo's status was undeniable. Before he had secured his position as Kazekage, Rasa didn't dare to act.
"This old woman is fine!"
Hearing these words, Elder Chiyo began to adjust her mindset, returning to her usual indifferent appearance.
With Elder Chiyo appearing to take charge, the originally panicked Sunagakure did indeed calm down a lot.
"Elder Chiyo, regarding the matter of the Third Kazekage-sama, do you have any thoughts?"
"I..."
Elder Chiyo hesitated.
Should she reveal the matter concerning her grandson? Once revealed, her grandson would become a criminal of Sunagakure.
It wasn't that Elder Chiyo was worried about being implicated herself, but!
"Let's push all the blame... onto Konoha!"
After finishing this sentence, Elder Chiyo sat down in her seat as if she had lost all her strength.
In the end, she still doted on her grandson!
"Push it onto Konoha?"
Elder Chiyo's words first stunned everyone, then they were immediately overjoyed.
That's right! Since they couldn't find the Third Kazekage, they could just use this incident to pressure Konoha. It wasn't impossible to demand some benefits!
"Good idea!"
Even the Acting Kazekage, Rasa, slammed the table in delight.
"If Konoha doesn't compensate us, Sunagakure will declare war on them directly!"
"..."
