Chapter 174 Elder Chiyo, Are You Trying to Kill The Witnesses to Silence Them?

"She's seriously injured!" Sōseki checked Pakura a little, and then frowned and treated her.

In all fairness, Pakura's strength is not weak.

The reason she couldn't even last for one minute is because the Third Kazekage is too strong.

After being turned into a puppet, although its flexibility and consciousness became a little worse, its various organs and the poison methods can completely make up for its shortcomings.

Unfortunately, these methods just didn't work for him.

"Jōnin Sōseki, Pakura-sama..."

Seeing that the iron sands in the sky disappeared from the distance, the Sunagakure's Shinobi who had run away for a while quietly rushed back.

Then, they saw the shocking scene in front of them.

There are broken puppets everywhere, the ground is torn apart, and the molten iron flows on the ground.

What's even more frightening is that Pakura was pierced into becoming a hedgehog on the ground.

Seeing their worried expressions, Sōseki reassured, "Don't worry, she has a lot of poisons in her body, but it's relatively easy to remove them as it is only a short time since she was poisoned."

Hearing Sōseki's words, everyone felt relieved, "That's good, that's good..."

Seeing that they seem to be at a loss, Sōseki said with a smile, "If I were you, I would count the spoils of war now. Although there are only a few wrecks left, but considering Sasori's strength, even these wrecks should be of great value."

Nakayo and the others' eyes lit up upon hearing this. As long as it is told that these are the remains of Sasori's hundreds of puppets, these broken puppets will definitely be bought by those crazy puppet masters at a high price.

However, they are somewhat embarrassed, "We didn't do anything. These spoils of war should belong to you, Jōnin Sōseki."

Sōseki smiled and said nonchalantly, "I am a Konoha Shinobi, what can I do with these puppets?"

Hearing this, Nakayo and the others looked at each other, and then happily picked up the wreckages.

Half a day later, everyone appeared in front of the gate of Sunagakure, carrying large and small bags.

Seeing everyone's return, the Shinobi on duty immediately came down to open the gate. Then, seeing Pakura who was carried by Sōseki, he exclaimed, "What happened to Pakura-sama?"

"She's injured, but it should be fine." Sōseki replied calmly, and then asked, "Where's Kazekage-sama? We have something to report to him."

"Kazekage-sama may be in the Kazekage Building now."

Kazekage Building.

Rasa said with a cold expression, "What did you say? Even the people from the Land of Rain dare to invade our Sunagakure?"

Ebizō then sighed, "It's mostly because of our attitude towards Iwagakure's invasion, as we can only defend and not counterattack!"

The rest of the Jōnin's expressions are also not good. After all, even if it is okay to give in to Iwagakure, how can Amegakure dare to do the same?

Rasa frowned. Although he is not afraid of the Land of Rain, he is worried that if this is actually Iwagakure's trap.

Just as he hesitated and struggled, a report came from outside.

"Kazekage-sama, Pakura sama and the special envoy Sōseki have returned."

Rasa, who was worried that he had no excuse to delay this matter, suddenly smiled and said, "Haha, let's go and see ..."

However, someone is faster than him.

Seeing that Chiyo had disappeared from her seat, Rasa couldn't help but sighed, "I hope there won't be a fight!"

But at this moment, there was a sudden loud shout coming from the outside.

"Elder Chiyo, are you trying to kill the witnesses to silence them?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Rasa and the others hurriedly come out.

"Kill the witnesses to silence them?" Chiyo was puzzled. She didn't expect that Sunashi and the others would stand up to accuse her angrily.

"Elder Chiyo, did you really instigate that matter?"

"Too despicable, it turns out that Elder Chiyo is such a person!"

They were originally angry about Sasori's assassination of the Third Kazekage, but they were rescued by Sōseki, so they naturally feel indignant at injustice and stand on Sōseki's side.

Of course, they will not tell the truth in such a public place with numerous people.

But even so, Rasa and the others who came out were confused.

...

Half an hour later, in the conference room.

All the Jōnin looked like they had seen a ghost.

"The Third Kazekage was assassinated by Sasori?"

"That bastard also made the Third Kazekage-sama into a puppet?"

"Impossible, two years ago, he was only fifteen years old!"

"Who are you kidding? He can control hundreds of puppets at the same time?"

Rasa rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, wondering if he worked too late yesterday and still hasn't woken up yet.

Chiyo, who is on the side, stood in despair, "Human puppet? You've reached this step after all!"

"Be quiet!" Rasa raised his right hand, and then looked towards Nakayo, "Are you sure about Sasori's assassination of the Third Kazekage?"

Nakayo then nodded heavily, "This is what Sasori said himself, he said that it was to test his ability."

Hearing this, Rasa said angrily, "He assassinated the Third Kazekage just for this ridiculous reason? It's unforgivable!"

A Jōnin couldn't help but ask, "Can Sasori really control hundreds of puppets at the same time?"

Sunashi said solemnly, "Not only that, but he manipulates so many puppets at the same time without any stagnation!"

Hearing this, everyone sucked in breath of cold air. Why do they feel that no one in Sunagakure will be Sasori's opponent?

Rasa was puzzled and asked, "Since he is so strong, how did you escape?"

Nakayo said truthfully, "Jōnin Sōseki defeated Sasori, and we escaped."

Sunashi added, "Jōnin Sōseki destroyed Sasori's puppet army by himself, and he even beat the Third Kazekage's puppet to the ground!"

As soon as the voice fell, the conference room exploded in an instant.

"Impossible, that is absolutely impossible!"

"I see, it must be because he was transformed into a puppet by Sasori, so it must have less than 10% of Kazekage-sama's strength before his death! "

Intellectually, they are unwilling to accept that the Third Sandaime Kazekage, which was the strongest Kazekage in history, to be defeated by a young Shinobi from Konoha.

Hearing this, Nakayo said with a sigh, "It's true. The Third Kazekage's puppet not only retains the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai of Kazekage-sama, but it also has many modified organs and hidden weapons covered with poison. Its strength may be even more terrifying than the original Kazekage-sama!"

Sunashi then said, "Pakura-sama confronted the Third Kazekage's puppet after it was being severely injured by Jōnin Sōseki. In the end, she didn't even last for a minute."

Hearing this, everyone stopped talking.

They knew very well about Pakura's strength. Although it is kind of conspiracy to call her Sunagakure's hero, she can definitely be regarded as an expert even among Jōnin. But even so, she was defeated by the Third Kazekage's puppet in less than one minute.

This can only show that Sōseki is really terrifyingly strong!

After a while, someone awkwardly said, "Haha, the Third Kazekage-sama is really strong!"

Everyone looked at him sadly, 'No matter how strong he was, was not he easily beaten by Konoha's Shinobi?'

They also have genius. However, the genius of Konoha help his village turn the war around, and their Sunagakure's genius directly killed their village's Kage.

What's even more depressing is that, just like that, their Sunagakure's genius still couldn't beat Konoha's genius.

Seeing that Sunagakure's self-confidence was about to be shattered, Rasa quickly changed the subject, "Let's put aside Sasori's matter for now. The most important thing now is, how can we make that Sōseki help us keep the secret?"

Their village's genius assassinated their village's Kage. If this scandal spreads, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Sunagakure's unity and self-confidence.

It is very simple to make Nakayo and the others to keep this secret. As for Sasori, he is not the kind of high-profile person himself, and judging from his reaction this time, he doesn't seem to want the incident about the Third Kazekage to spread.

Therefore, naturally, they only have to consider Sōseki.

'But the question is... how to stop Sōseki's mouth?'

'Assassination?' As soon as a Jōnin thought of this, his body trembled. After all, with Sōseki's strength, it is possible that they all who would be killed by him.

'Seduction?' Rasa shook his head as soon as he thought of this. After all, with the popularity of the other party, they would only lose their Kunoichi when facing a handsome man like Sōseki.

'Aahh, it's difficult!'
