After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

The next morning, a series of alarms suddenly sounded in the Sand Village. All the Sand Ninjas who were still asleep quickly got up and gathered at the Kazekage Building.

Although no one knew what had happened, it had been who knows how long since an alarm had been heard in the Sand Village.

They stood in their suits, waiting for the Third Kazekage to show up, but he never appeared. Instead, a group of senior executives stood solemnly in front of the stage.

"Everyone!" The great elder's serious voice came out, "Activate the first-level alert state. All departments cooperate to block the entire village and conduct strict inspections and self-inspections. The heads of various departments, and... others, come in for a meeting immediately. The rest of you should first strictly block all entrances and exits of the village, wait for orders, and disperse!"

Although those whose names were not mentioned had infinite doubts in their hearts, they had to carry out the orders from the top. So, they spontaneously formed teams, and with their own questions in their hearts, they guarded the various checkpoints in the village.

As for those ninjas of a slightly higher status whose names were called, from the moment they entered the Kazekage building to the moment they sat in the conference room, high-level staff, even Chiyo and Ebizo who were forced to retire, and the One-tail Jinchuriki Bunfuku were all present, but the Third Kazekage was not seen yet, which made them more certain of their inner guesses.

The Great Elder took in everyone's gazes. After a moment, he spoke with a hint of fatigue, "Everyone, the Third Kazekage was attacked last night and was unfortunately injured. I will temporarily preside over this meeting this time."

The words of the Great Elder stirred up a thousand waves on the calm lake surface. Everyone looked at each other and then started a quarrel.

"Great Elder, may I ask how the Third Kazekage is doing?"

"Damn it, who on earth is it that dares to attack Lord Kazekage?"

"No wonder the alert was raised. It turns out that Master Kazekage was attacked."

"Great Elder, please instruct us on how we should catch the murderer next!"

"Where is the Third Kazekage-sama? We want to see him."

......

"quiet!!!"

The Great Elder gently slapped the table in front of him and growled in a low voice.

"The Third Kazekage needs to rest. When the situation improves, I will inform everyone. The main reason for calling everyone together this time is that our village is now at a point of life and death. The enemy has invaded from nowhere and harmed our supreme Kazekage!"

After the old elder finished speaking, he felt a little out of breath, and the people beside him hurriedly handed him a glass of water. After he drank it and took a breath, he continued to speak.

"Next, all departments will work closely together to conduct a thorough investigation of any suspicious individuals in the village. Team leaders will conduct self-inspections of their own subordinates. Anyone with alibis from last night to early morning will be detained. As for any missing team members, report them immediately!"

......

A series of orders were issued, and everyone stood ready to carry out their respective tasks. The entire conference room suddenly became empty.

Chiyo looked at the elders who looked troubled, frowned slightly, and immediately asked, "Elder, how is the situation of the Third Kazekage?"

They looked at each other, and the Great Elder was silent for a while, but finally told the truth, "In fact, the Third Kazekage is missing."

"Missing?" Fenfu was also shocked and asked quickly, "The Third Kazekage is known as the strongest Kazekage. Where did he disappear?"

"Actually, we don't know either. Recently, the Third Kazekage has been working very late, but the personnel on duty didn't find anything unusual. This is very wrong." The Great Elder had obviously interrogated the personnel on duty last night.

"Where are those people? I want to interrogate them personally." Chiyo glared with his tiger eyes. The elders did not dare to disobey and immediately took Chiyo and others to the place where the ninjas who were on duty last night were imprisoned.

......

"Sister, they don't seem to be being manipulated." After the interrogation, Ebizo was also confused. Almost everyone's answer was flawless.

"Unless..." Chiyo pondered for a moment and continued, "The enemy sneaked in during the rotation of the duty personnel, and then left again during the next rotation."

"In short, first check which ninjas are missing or have alibis. Detain them and interrogate them one by one." Seeing that everyone had no idea what to do, Chiyo made up her mind and took charge of the situation.

"We also ask Lord Chiyo and Lord Funabashi to temporarily take over the affairs of the Kazekage during this special period." The elders said respectfully. They were good at quarreling and they didn't mind managing things. However, they didn't dare to be arrogant now that they had no one to back them up.

"Then we shouldn't have concealed it." Chiyo looked at the elders with a look of disappointment, "Now, we should make a big fuss about it, let the ninjas go out separately, and look for the whereabouts of the Third Kazekage."

"But..." the elders said hesitantly, "How can our Sand Village gain a foothold in the ninja world then?"

"Humph!" Chiyo said with hatred, "During this period, anyone could be the murderer who hurt the Third Kazekage. Konoha, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure could all be possible."

"But we have no evidence, sister!" Ebizo also felt that it was inappropriate. Who could bear the consequences if he exposed the disappearance of the highest leader of his village?

"Let's send our trusted subordinates out of the village to search for the Third Kazekage secretly." Fubuku was silent for a long time, then looked at Chiyo and said. Chiyo stared into his eyes and nodded, "Okay."

"Okay." Everyone agreed to this plan.

That afternoon, Chiyo received an unbelievable message that her most beloved grandson, Scorpion of the Red Sand, had disappeared at the same time as the Third Kazekage.

He revealed to the top leaders on the spot how important Scorpion's current position in the Sand Village is. The puppets he created alone have raised the strength of the entire puppet army to a higher level. With his strength, he could control several puppets when he was only ten years old, which already meant he had the strength of a senior ninja.

But who knows whether he has anything to do with the disappearance of the Third Kazekage. Even if he is related, was he assassinated by the enemy together with the Third Kazekage, or did he collude with the enemy to assassinate his own Kazekage?

There was no clue at all, so due to the pressure from Chiyo, the top brass had not yet made a decision on what to do with Scorpion.

They could only follow the solution discussed before and send a large number of ninjas to search for clues along the way, especially at the borders of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth. Most of the ninjas were at the border of the Land of Fire. I don't know if Chiyo had any special emotions.

Just like that, the turmoil caused by the disappearance of the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village and the turmoil of an era were quietly unfolding.
