Chapter 115: Sand Village Changes
Let's go back one day. When the news of Orochimaru's injury and Tsunade's "betrayal" reached the Sand Village, the whole village was filled with a cheerful atmosphere for a while.
Ebizo no longer fishes, and Chiyo no longer dances.
The two semi-retired elders rushed to Fengying's office together, both of them with the spirit of "an old horse still in the stable, with a thousand miles to go, and I can still borrow another 500 years from God".
They were discussing enthusiastically what they could do with this situation and whether they could help Sunagakure gain a decisive advantage on the front battlefield.
When the conversation got excited, Luo Sha took off Fengying's hat and threw it on the table, as if he was ready to fight on the table.
Just when the discussion was heated, a Sunagakure Anbu ninja suddenly appeared in, half-knelt to report, interrupting the high-level meeting.
"Lord Fengying, something bad has happened!"
"What happened?"
"Ye Cang is back!"
Luo Sha, who was in an excited mood at the moment, was not afraid at all. He slammed the table excitedly and shouted loudly, "That traitor, she actually dared to come back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of Fengying's office was kicked open.
Ye Cang strode into the office with a domineering look on his face, carrying a huge scroll on his back and dragging a humanoid creature wrapped like a silkworm cocoon behind him.
"Who do you think is the traitor?"
In an instant, the originally lively meeting seemed to be suddenly paused.
Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the door at the same time.
Luo Sha stood up angrily and demanded, "Ye Cang, you dare to come back?!"
However, the two elders, who had already become very smart, noticed something was wrong at a glance. Chiyo quickly winked at Luo Sha, signaling him to calm down.
It was indeed unfair for Luo Sha to have arbitrarily labeled Ye Cang as a traitor. They had always known that there were still a small number of ninjas in the village who supported Ye Cang.
However, this cannot explain why Ye Cang was able to walk all the way to Fengying’s office unimpeded today!
Moreover, there weren’t even many signs of fighting on Ye Cang’s body when he entered the door!
What happened outside? How did Ye Cang get close to the Kazekage's office?
Many thoughts flashed through the two elders' minds.
They were obviously much more experienced than the impulsive Luo Sha. While calming the Kazekage, they also secretly signaled the Anbu ninja at the door to go outside to get some information.
They already had a premonition that the person who came today might have bad intentions.
But before the Anbu came back from their reconnaissance, Ye Cang spoke first: "Why can't I come back? After all, what makes you think I'm a traitor?"
"Of course it's because I'm the Kazekage now!" Luo Sha took a step forward proudly and powerfully.
But Ye Cang, who suddenly returned today, acted contrary to his usual behavior and refused to give in.
"Who decided that you were the Kazekage?"
"Cough cough."
Ebizo coughed twice and quickly spoke to ease the atmosphere.
"As everyone knows, the Third Kazekage died suddenly. The village was in a critical situation at the time, so the two elders jointly nominated Rasa to be the Fourth Kazekage. This matter was also voted on by the Jonin class at the time.
Ye Cang, if you have any grievances, you can speak out. If you come back today, we can give you a chance to defend yourself. But questioning the authority of the Kazekage is a bit too disrespectful to the village!"
It was obvious that what Ebizo said was much more capable than what Rasa said. He defended and fought at the same time, which not only maintained the authority of the Kazekage, but also gave Ye Cang a way out.
It's a pity that his superb language skills are destined to be of no use today.
No matter what he did, Ye Cang could knock him down with one move.
She lifted the silkworm pupa that she was dragging behind her and stepped on it. "Why are you two old guys qualified to nominate the new Kazekage? And have you really found out how the Third Kazekage died?"
At this time, many people had gathered at the door of Fengying's office!
The two elders noticed that almost all the Jonin left in the village had gathered here.
Even the Anbu ninja who followed their hint to go out and investigate stayed at the door at this time, eager for the truth and waiting for developments, and no longer responded to their gazes.
What on earth had happened? The two elders' hearts skipped a beat, and suddenly their hearts began to beat violently.
Until Ye Cang solved the mystery——
She peeled open the head of the silkworm pupa, and at the same time slapped the scroll behind her, releasing a special puppet.
At that moment, after a brief silence, the entire area in front of Fengying's office suddenly exploded!
In an instant, the two elders: Chiyo and Ebizo felt as if they were struck by lightning!
They were so shocked that they almost blacked out and fell to the ground on the spot.
"Oh my god! That's--the Third Kazekage!"
"The Third Kazekage was actually turned into a puppet?! Who did it?!"
"That's a scorpion on the ground, right? The Scorpion of the Red Sand! The grandson of Elder Chiyo!"
"Scorpion killed the Third Kazekage?! What Lord Yekura said is actually true?!"
Soon, through the discussion of the Sunagakure ninjas at the door, the two elders finally solved the doubts that had been bothering them before.
Why was Ye Cang able to walk smoothly and unharmed to the door of Fengying's office after returning to the village today?
The answer is now clear!
She holds the key to breaking the impasse!
The moment the trump card was revealed, the offensive and defensive situation of the conversation was instantly reversed!
Ye Cang pressed on, "So, how did the Third-sama die? Elder Chiyo, Elder Ebizo, do you dare to say that you really don't know?"
After that, Ye Cang no longer needed to operate at all.
All she has to do is frame all the A chips and pass them over.
The three on the opposite side couldn't stand it at all!
"Elder Chiyo, your grandson killed the Third Master, but you helped to conceal the truth! Why are you still qualified to nominate the next Kazekage?"
"Luo Sha, on what basis did you get the position of Kazekage with the support of these two elders who protected the murderer?"
"Today, who is the rebel ninja and who is the hero? Tell me clearly!"
At that moment, Ye Cang pulled out a chair and sat down with his sword and horse, one arm on the table and one foot on the scorpion on the ground.
The sitting posture is domineering!
"I came back today not to show off how great it is that I caught a scorpion, but to prove that I will get back everything I lost with my own hands!"
That day, countless ninjas gathered at the door of the Kazekage's office witnessed this earth-shaking scene!
Luo Sha took a step back and turned his head. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the Fengying hat that he had excitedly thrown away at the meeting not long ago, lying on the table not far from him.
What a coincidence, less than ten minutes after he threw down the hat, everything changed.
A few minutes ago, when he was arguing fiercely with the two elders in this room, he would never have thought that when he casually took off the hat and threw it away, looking back, it seemed that he would never have the chance to put it back on.
Everything seemed to have been foreseen!
The sky of Sand Village is about to change!
In the past few days, all the Anbu intelligence personnel who have been collecting intelligence in various parts of the ninja world have been eating all they can.
They witnessed with their own eyes the biggest changes that had never happened since the establishment of the ninja village system!
Just one day apart, they witnessed the sad exit of two shadows!
Not dying in battle, not retiring, but abdicating!
This strange thing, which has never happened in the past fifty years, happened alternately for two consecutive days recently!
After the Third Hokage of Konoha Village, the Fourth Kazekage of Sand Village also announced his abdication!
The ninja world is once again experiencing an unprecedented shock!
