The great turmoil that Fu Yi felt was difficult to quell was, in Chiyo's eyes, just a small matter that could be resolved with a single word.

The key question is who killed Fayi?

The person most suspected is undoubtedly the one who has benefited the most.

So it's not surprising that Machi has become the object of everyone's suspicion.

However, from the perspective of the following people, that's all. In Chiyo's opinion, although Maki is a suspect, he doesn't need to resort to trickery since he already has her support. Moreover, this assassination attempt that will put him at the center of public attention is simply unreasonable.

“It doesn’t have to be about getting the most benefit, as long as it’s beneficial, it’s a reason to act.”

Ebizo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up to remind him.

"I know. I'm not senile yet."

Chiyo scoffed.

"The people who did this are most likely the Iwagakure Village and the Hidden Leaf Village. These two neighbors have interests in the Sand Village. As for which one it was, there is no need to know so clearly. Anyway, we can't do anything about it!"

Even though the Iwagakure Village is now unable to take care of itself, it is still not something that the Sand Village, which cannot even choose a Kazekage, can deal with. Although the cunning Ohnoki is old, the reputation of his Dust Release and the strength of the Iwagakure Ninjas still force the Sand Village to survive under the protection of Konoha.

As for Konoha Village, there is no way to say anything about it.

"Tsunade doesn't have the fortitude to do such a thing. If it was Konoha who did it, it was probably because the 'Darkness of the Ninja World' couldn't help it! The Sand Village has really become the laughing stock of the entire Ninja World. It's such a mess that even outsiders can't stand it. We are still arguing about it. It's really shameful."

Seeing his elderly sister laughing angrily, Ebizo put down his fishing rod, sighed and said:

"Being indecisive is never a good thing. Originally, Maki was a good choice. His qualifications and temperament were impeccable, and his strength was just so-so, barely qualified. Unfortunately, because of the attack on Konoha Village, his prestige was damaged and he can no longer convince people!"

"It's not his fault for what happened to Maki. In the final analysis, it was the whole village that was too impetuous, which gave Orochimaru the opportunity to take advantage of it. Among those who presided over the operation, he has the highest status and position. The village needs someone to take responsibility!"

After all, Maki took the blame for the entire village and the sudden death of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and there is no good way to deal with this matter.

"Remove the restrictions on Gaara and allow him to join the general ninja organization."

Chiyo made this order, clearly indicating her inclination. Gaara was just a signal. Although it seemed that he had excellent control over the one-tailed Shukaku, it would take some time for people to adapt to change their impression of him. If he could get in touch with the ninjas in the village and complete some tasks, he could also change the public's previous view of him.

"Also, pick two spies that Konoha sent to the village and kill them for any reason you want!"

It’s not that some dark rooms have not been discovered, but for some reason they have maintained a tacit understanding and have not been dealt with.

"There's no need to act on impulse. Killing two exposed spies will do no good to Konoha or to us!"

"benefit?"

Chiyo couldn't stop laughing.

"I'm an old woman who's about to die. Can't I go crazy when I'm old and confused?"

Ebizo didn't bother to refute his sister Chiyo's words, so he picked up the fishing rod and continued fishing.

"Anyway, the people being dealt with are ours in name only. It has no meaning other than to disgust Tsunade and Danzo!"

"Ebizo, you are still so ignorant. How can you only pursue profit when doing things? I thought so, so I did it. If anyone is dissatisfied, just come forward!"

Ebizo was known for his prudence and strategy. In countless wars, he was praised for his calmness and wisdom. His sister Chiyo was always a fiery actionist. She was famous in the ninja world for her never-give-up spirit and will, which was also the pillar and backbone supporting the Sand Village, the weakest of the five major ninja villages.

Ebizo knew that he could not persuade his sister who had made up her mind. Konoha Village had no reason to vent its anger on the killing of one or two unimportant spies. The Sand Village stood on the moral high ground, so it was enough to maintain superficial respect. No one would bring up the secret competition in public.

…

In the dense jungle of the Land of Fire, a figure was running on the way back to Konoha Village. It was the "Root" ninja A who completed the assassination mission.

The mission went smoothly. Just like in many training sessions, the target was stabbed in the heart without even seeing the enemy, and died silently.

In terms of how to use the advantages of the two bloodline limits, Sharingan and Wood Release, Jia has almost reached the limit of what he can achieve at present.

A, who has completed similar tasks several times, has never made any mistakes, and this time is no exception.

However, after the mission was completed, a small incident occurred. When leaving the Land of Wind, some bad changes seemed to have taken place in his body. A large amount of chakra in his body poured into his eyes, and the consumption of the Sharingan, which had been tending to be stable, suddenly increased. At the same time, a pure spiritual power from his eyes pierced into his mind, causing ripples in his originally calm mood.

Relying on the instinct acquired from training, Jia wiped out the slightest fluctuation in his heart and returned to a state of having no desires or demands. However, the Sharingan with its magatama spinning at high speed in its eye sockets still did not stop.

Jia had no choice but to stop and found a calm lake. He looked at his current condition. Physical abnormality was secondary. His pair of Sharingan were functioning abnormally, constantly transmitting traces of mental fluctuations into his mind.

Not only that, the muscles around the Sharingan kept trembling, and the chakra was quickly consumed. The uncontrolled state made Jia realize that he was in danger.

"Is this a warning? No, it's self-rescue!"

Jia reacted instantly and immediately formed seals with both hands. The surging Wood Release began to consume the abundant chakra in his body. After a long time, the Sharingan stopped operating abnormally.

It was not until this moment that A felt a stinging pain in his eyes, and red and black blood involuntarily flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"What's wrong with my body?"

Full of doubts and knowing nothing, A quickened his pace back to the village.

Jia, who only knew how to fight and obey, naturally didn't know how powerful the first-generation cells in his body were. The vigorous vitality represented the yang power. Without sufficient mental strength to support the Sharingan and the balance of the body, he would sooner or later be completely devoured by the first-generation cells with incredible corrosive power due to the imbalance of yin and yang.

Danzo created the armor with the help of Mizuki's medicine and the research results obtained from Orochimaru. He could not control these two powers with just a blank soul without any emotions.
