"Hey, Kakashi, let's have a hearty battle in this world full of yellow sand." Might Guy suddenly invited Kakashi to a battle.
Kakashi looked at the sky. He didn't know if it was because of the desert, but he always felt that the sun in the Sand Village was particularly strong. No wonder so many people wore headscarves.
The scorching sun made Kakashi unwilling to have a passionate battle with Kai, because that would only make him sweat.
Now that his daughter is almost three years old, Kakashi no longer has the passion he once had, so he might agree to move to a cooler place.
Fortunately, Kakashi knew Gai very well and knew how to give reasons that Gai couldn't refuse.
"Kai, our fighting noise is too loud. You have to know that we are on a mission, and in another ninja village." Kakashi said seriously.
In this case, Kakashi is on the righteous side, standing on the mission and the village.
Although this task is already in a state where there is nothing to do, it is still a task after all, and it is the highest level S-level task.
As expected, although Kai was very itchy, he just scratched his head and gave up.
"You are worthy of being my best friend. You are so considerate." Might Guy grinned, revealing his signature two rows of shiny white teeth, and gave a thumbs up.
Kakashi smiled faintly. Having served under Nagase for so many years, and with his understanding of Kai, it should be easy for him to control him.
After rejecting Gai's invitation to fight, Kakashi and Gai once again wandered around the Sand Village like headless flies.
Because there was really nothing to do, there was too little information to identify the candidate, and the other party did not leave anything for them to investigate.
All he could do was wander around Sunagakure all day, hoping to find something new, or to take action if the attacker came again.
As for why Inuzuka Midori didn't join them, I don't know if Nagase was worried that Inuzuka Midori was doing something in Sunagakure. Inuzuka Midori was ordered by Nagase to protect Tsunade all the time, instead of moving freely within Sunagakure like Kakashi and the others.
"The weather is nice today, let's go out for a walk." Chiyo suddenly became interested. Instead of going fishing with her brother as usual, she planned to stroll around the Sand Village.
Chiyo walked leisurely on the streets of Sunagakure, with a kind smile on her face like an ordinary old woman. At this moment, she seemed not to be a high-ranking official of Sunagakure who held great power, nor a powerful person who had once dominated the war, but an ordinary old woman.
Although Chiyo has seen the surrounding scenery countless times, she is one of the oldest people in Sunagakure. This is the case for ninjas, regardless of being a civilian.
But when Chiyo observes it carefully now, she is still deeply moved.
"If it weren't for the attack on the Kazekage, the entire ninja world would probably be peaceful now." Chiyo murmured.
Chiyo was born before the Ninja Village Era came, but she did not feel much of the war during her childhood, because the Ninja Village Era came not long after, and it was a brand new era.
Later, Konoha's first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, summoned the Five Kage and held a Five Kage Summit. The five major ninja villages signed a contract, and the entire ninja world suddenly became peaceful. This was Chiyo's childhood memory.
But the peaceful time was only like this. When she became a ninja girl with some strength, Hashirama Senju died, and a war broke out that swept across the entire ninja world.
Since then, Chiyo has not experienced any peace. Even if there was, it was only a short-lived peace and there was no all-out war.
She experienced the three Ninja World Wars perfectly. War is the main theme in Chiyo's memory, and peace only exists in the beautiful memories of the post-war respite.
Having been in troubled times for a long time, the resentment towards other countries and the anxiety towards her own country have taken deep root in Chiyo's heart. She is also the one who agrees to seal the One-Tail into Gaara's body.
Because she was afraid that when war came again, Sand Village would have no Jinchūriki to fight against the Jinchūriki of other ninja villages.
During the war, Chiyo experienced a lot of pain, her teammates and even her own children lost their lives in the war.
During the Second Ninja World War, her son and daughter-in-law were killed by the Konoha White Fang, which made Chiyo very sad.
There is nothing more painful than seeing the young die before the old. Chiyo wished she could die in their place so that her grandson Scorpion would not lose his parents at such a young age.
So after Sasori defected, Chiyo stopped caring about political affairs and became an invisible person in Sunagakure. She spent all day fishing with her younger brother Ebizo and became a fishing master.
In Nagase's words, it's time to start.
However, considering Chiyo's age, no one dares to blame her. After all, she has worked for Sunagakure all her life, and she is not allowed to retire, right
After experiencing wars all her life, Chiyo finally welcomed peace at this age, and she had mixed feelings.
What is this, a beginning and an end, peace when you are a child, and then another wave of peace when you are old.
If she had come earlier, perhaps her child would not have died and her grandson would not have defected.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.
"How long can this peace last?" Chiyo wondered.
But as Chiyo was casually strolling down the street, she suddenly saw a figure that looked familiar but also had a certain pattern.
The outfit of a Konoha ninja, the white hair, that figure...
Chiyo couldn't help it immediately, and she casually took out a kunai from somewhere. Then chakra lines appeared on her fingers, and she used the chakra lines to control the kunai and attack Kakashi.
Kakashi sensed a sudden burst of powerful murderous intent behind him with his observation Haki. He turned around quickly, covering his arms with the dark armament Haki, and easily knocked the kunai away, avoiding danger.
"Hmm? There are enemies!" Kai also keenly sensed the murderous intent and helped Kakashi knock away some kunai. Then his chakra burst out, ready to open the Eight Gates at any time.
But when he saw clearly the person who made the attack, Kakashi frowned. Chiyo was a high-ranking member of Sunagakure and one of the great enemies that Konoha was very cautious about. If Tsunade had not been able to crack Chiyo's poison, it would not be easy for Konoha to defeat Sunagakure, so Kakashi naturally knew Chiyo.
Kakashi frowned because he recognized Chiyo. This was a rescue mission proactively issued by Sunagakure. What did Chiyo mean by attacking them now? Did she want to start a war
Kakashi reached out to stop Kai who was about to rush out. Instead of attacking him directly, he asked, "Chiyo-senpai, what do you mean by this? I hope to get a reasonable explanation."
In fact, after Kakashi turned around and after Chiyo saw Kakashi's appearance clearly, the murderous intent in her suddenly weakened, and she no longer had the desire to continue attacking.
He doesn't look like White Fang, but more like White Fang's son.
Chiyo did not respond to Kakashi's words. Instead, her eyes suddenly lost their luster and she fell straight to the ground, looking as if she had died suddenly.
A cross suddenly appeared on Kakashi's forehead.
He was really confused and annoyed. They were suddenly attacked, and before they could do anything, the attacker suddenly lay dead on the spot.
What is this for? Is this a new type of scam? Kakashi doesn’t quite understand.
If the Sand Village took the initiative to accuse them of bullying their elderly elders, Kakashi would be really furious.
"Kakashi, what's going on?" Kakashi was confused, not to mention Kai. He was even more confused and had no idea what was going on.
He was worried about not having a fight, and was ready to activate the Eight Gates to have a good fight with the attacker, but the attacker suddenly fell down.
Perhaps because of Chiyo's old age, Kai walked forward worriedly and carefully turned Chiyo over, then put his finger on the front of Chiyo's nose.
But at this moment, Chiyo suddenly opened her eyes, and then quickly stood up, scaring Might Guy so much that he jumped back and distanced himself from Chiyo, and then quickly assumed a fighting stance.
"I'm just kidding. I was pretending to be dead." Chiyo said mischievously.
Kakashi, Might Guy: ...
Kai was also speechless because of Chiyo's outrageous actions.
Even though pretending to be dead seemed really stupid, Kakashi hadn't forgotten that Chiyo had just attacked them for no apparent reason.
"Senior Chiyo, you haven't explained why you attacked us just now. If you don't have a reasonable explanation, I will attack you on the spot." Kakashi said again.
They came to help Sunagakure, but were inexplicably attacked by Sunagakure's high-ranking officials in the village. It would be strange if Kakashi was in a good mood.
"Haha, the old man's eyes are blurry and I mistook you for someone else. I thought you were one of my enemies." Chiyo said mischievously, tilting his head.
Kakashi didn't know whether what Chiyo said was true or false, but since Chiyo just threw a kunai, Kakashi didn't want to care too much.
"Then please don't admit your mistake next time, Chiyo-senpai." After saying this, Kakashi took Might Guy back. He wanted to report the matter to Nagase.
It’s not that Kakashi is the kid who reported his parents after being beaten. If they really fought, Chiyo might not be able to beat him at her age, and Gai was also next to them.
But Kakashi was not sure whether what Chiyo said was true or not. What if this was a change in the attitude of the Sand Village? Wouldn’t it be a bit dangerous for them to stay in the Sand Village
Although the Sand Village would have to lose their minds to attack them at this time, you cannot bet your safety on whether the enemy will lose their minds.
"Oh." Chiyo sighed, the mischievous smile on her face disappeared and was replaced by a cold expression. She was not in the mood to go shopping at the moment, so she turned around and went home.
Although Kakashi is not White Fang himself, but White Fang's son, does Chiyo really have no intention of killing Kakashi
White Fang killed her child, and she was not a saint, so how could she not have any thoughts about White Fang's child
But times have changed. Today, the ninja world is at peace and has returned to the state it was in the era of Hashirama Senju, or even better.
If she forcefully intervenes, it will only trigger war again, dragging Sand Village back into the quagmire of war, and even the situation in the entire ninja world will change drastically again.
This is a situation that Chiyo doesn't want to see. She has fought all her life and no longer wants to participate in any war, let alone start a war herself.
Chiyo was glad that it was not the real White Fang, which allowed her to remain sane. If it was the real White Fang standing there, Chiyo didn't know if she could suppress the hatred in her heart.
"Well, let the hatred end here..."
…
Ever since he happened to meet Gaara last time, Nagase often used his powerful perception ability to encounter Gaara by chance.
Yashamaru wanted to say something at first, but then he thought that they still had to stay in Konoha for a long time, so maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to let Gaara and Nagase get to know each other.
"Ever since they were caught by their fathers, Hashirama and Madara haven't met privately for a long time." Nagase was telling a story to Gaara.
If Naruto came, he would probably call him an expert, because Nagase had told him the same thing before.
"So pitiful..." Gaara was angry at the actions of both fathers, but he also felt pity for what happened to Hashirama and Madara.
Why do two people who get along so well have to stand on opposite sides and fight
Nagasawa smiled and ruffled Gaara's hair.
If you want to win the favor of a lonely kid like Gaara who longs for friends, the love-hate story of the good friends Hashirama and Madara is the best one.
Gaara longs for friends and friendship, and the friendship between Madara and Hashirama is what Gaara longs for most.
"They will change the situation later." Nagase gave a small spoiler of what will happen next.
"It would be nice if I had a friend like Hashirama." Gaara's big eyes revealed longing.
Although Nagase had taken steps that day to prevent the children from running away when they saw him, it was still difficult for Gaara to make friends, at least not in a short period of time.
This is a real world. It doesn't mean that just by deleting the rumors, everyone will suddenly treat Gaara as a normal child. This takes time.
"Don't worry, you will. We have many children of your age in Konoha. They are all very enthusiastic and you will definitely make friends there." Nagase said.
Let’s not talk about other things for now. With Naruto, who is so good at socializing, it doesn’t matter if Gaara is introverted, because Naruto will take the initiative anyway.
"Won't they be afraid of me? There's a monster living inside me." Gaara said unconfidently.
Since Gaara can be affected by Shukaku's chakra, he naturally would not be completely ignorant of Shukaku. That is why he did not dare to take the initiative to approach others.
At some point, Gaara even felt that the rumors were true, and maybe he really was a monster.
"It's just that there's a little civet cat living in my body. What's the big deal?" Yongze said with a nonchalant smile.
"There is a kid in Konoha who is about your age. There is a big fox living inside him, but he has many friends in Konoha."
"Really? What's his name?" Gaara was immediately attracted to Nagase and was very curious.
"His name is Namikaze Naruto. When you go to Konoha, I will introduce you to him." Nagase said with a smile.
Gaara nodded, and couldn't help but start to yearn for Konoha. He wanted to meet this Naruto Namikaze.
