Six years passed quietly.

During these six years, the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Iwagakure Village established friendly relations and prepared to join forces to attack the Hidden Leaf Village.

Even the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village received a secret letter from Ōnoki, but compared to the Kirigakure Village, the Third Kazekage was obviously more pragmatic.

While signing a series of import and export treaties with the Iwagakure Village and developing its own economy, it remained completely silent on the military side.

Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s because he’s scared of being beaten.

As a Kage who had fought a war with Konoha Village, the Third Kazekage clearly understood Konoha Village's war capabilities.

Even if the four major ninja villages attack together, they may not be able to win.

Without absolute certainty, the Sand Village must not take sides between the two sides.

What is most in line with the interests of the Sand Village is to play both sides, gain benefits from both forces, and then step out to take sides at the most critical moment.

"Lord Kazekage, these are the documents we need to process today."

The Sandai Kazekage's personal secretary walked into the office holding a stack of documents.

"Well, just leave it there."

Rubbing his temple, the Third Kazekage looked a little tired.

For some reason, he always felt like his body was hollowed out during this period of time.

As the Kazekage, he immediately suspected that he was poisoned by someone.

But after a detailed examination, the doctor told me that everything was normal and there was nothing wrong with me.

Even after going to Chiyo to check, no signs of poisoning were found.

This is strange. Could it be that he has been going to too many foot massage parlors recently and has been drained by the women there?

It shouldn’t be that bad… eh… eh? …

Shaking his dizzy and swollen head, the Third Kazekage was puzzled.

Perhaps, it is because I have maintained a high intensity of work in recent years for the development of the village, which has made myself exhausted.

Yes, that's definitely the case cough cough cough...

Sigh... Should I cultivate a group of confidants of my own?

Just as the Third Kazekage was slumped in his chair, with a look of severe kidney overdraft and as if his yang energy had been sucked away, he was thinking wildly.

A somewhat childish male voice came into his ears.

"Kazekage-sama."

A scent of tea wafted over, and a red-haired boy stood beside the Sandaime Kazekage and handed him a cup of hot tea.

"Oh, it's a scorpion."

Looking at the handsome "genius puppeteer" in front of him, the Third Kazekage smiled.

Who says only Konoha Village has geniuses? Look at my Sand Village, there is also a genius.

After picking up the teacup and drinking it all, the Third Kazekage suddenly felt refreshed and comfortable.

It’s strange to say, after searching the entire Fengying office building, it is only the tea brewed by Scorpion that suits my taste the most.

"Hiss...Ah~K Moji~~"

Seeing the Third Kazekage finish drinking and put the teacup back on the table, Scorpion took the initiative to put it away.

"Oh, this kind of thing in the future."

"It can be handed over to the servants."

The Third Kazekage reminded the young man in front of him that, after all, the other party was his personal bodyguard and this kind of thing could be left to someone else.

Scorpion: “→_→”

Tsk... forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything.

This boy is good in every way except that he is a little too cold.

Looking at the red-haired boy's back as he pushed the door and left, the Third Kazekage shook his head and continued his work.

However, the Third Kazekage did not notice that while he was concentrating on his work, Scorpion, with his back to him, looked at the teacup in his hand and revealed a playful smile.

scorpion:"?????"

……

In the meeting room of Iwagakure Village.

"Ohnoki, you're too stubborn!"

"Old Shizukage, I am the Tsuchikage!"

"Humph, you're going to regret this!"

Door: "Bang!"

He slammed the door angrily and walked out of the village with a look of indignation on his face.

If it weren't for the tense situation in the ninja world, he really wanted to leave the village and let that stubborn old man cause trouble.

Due to his personality differences with Ōnoki, Lao Zi, despite being a Jinchūriki, lives at the very edge of the village.

The good thing is that travel is not very restricted.

"Forget it, let's go out and relax."

He muttered to himself, glanced at the Tsuchikage Building behind him, and left without looking back.

After leaving the Iwagakure Village, Lao Zi walked aimlessly into the distance and unknowingly arrived at the Yellowstone Plain.

Lao Zi found a clean place, sat cross-legged, and stared at the scenery in the distance in a trance.

"Oh, you still have a lot of leisure time."

I don’t know how long I watched, but a strange voice suddenly sounded from behind Lao Zi.

"Don't you know that the ninja world is not very peaceful recently?"

As a perfect Jinchūriki, Lao Zi had already sensed a strange chakra approaching him before the voice behind him sounded.

"Yeah, I think it's pretty safe."

Standing up slowly, Lao Zi finally saw the appearance of the person behind him.

A man who looks to be in his twenties with a scar on his chin, but his eyes reveal a sense of vicissitudes that does not belong to his age group.

Who else could this man in front of me be other than Danzo?

In recent years, as Konoha Village's military preparations gradually became ready, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally gave in and tacitly agreed to Danzo's plan to hunt down the Jinchūriki.

After getting the promise, Danzo immediately took action. Summarizing the experience of the anime before the time travel, he assigned hunting teams according to the strength and weaknesses of each Jinchūriki, and defeated the Jinchūriki of each village one by one.

He himself came to the Iwagakure Village, mainly because there was a man named Ōnoki here who could use Dust Release to decompose everything, and he was worried about other people coming.

This man has bad intentions and is very dangerous!

Looking at the two men in front of him, Lao Zi felt a sense of crisis for the first time in a long time.

"Tell me, do you want to come with me on your own, or are you ready to be beaten half to death and dragged away by me?"

"Humph, Your Excellency is a little too confident."

The hot-tempered Lao Zi could not tolerate being looked down upon, and immediately rushed towards Danzo.

"Lao Jie Burning River Rock Technique!"

Several magma balls were spit out from Lao Zi's mouth and flew towards Danzo.

"Wind Style Fierce Wind Palm!"

Watching the lava ball approaching, Danzo calmly reached out and released ninjutsu.

boom--!

Accompanied by a loud noise, thick smoke and dust rose, forcing Lao Zi to stop.

"Success?"

He squinted his eyes and carefully looked for traces of the enemy. When the smoke cleared, Lao Zi's face was solemn.

The magma balls that originally emitted huge amounts of heat have now all turned into ordinary stones, lying quietly on the ground.

But Danzo didn't cause any trouble and even gave himself the middle finger in a provocative manner.

"In the entire ninja world, wind ninjutsu can be so powerful."

"There is only one person, the Darkness of Shinobi, Danzo!"

Danzo's identity was revealed in a serious tone, and Lao Zi was frantically thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.

This is just a joke. It is said that a few years ago, the Third Raikage was beaten by Danzo to the point where he was left with only one breath.

No more hesitation, only this trick can be used!

"Sun, lend me your strength, quick!"

Shouting his partner's name, red tails appeared one after another from behind Lao Zi.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Zi's entire body was covered in magma-colored chakra.

Oh! It’s just like in the original anime, very interesting.

Seeing Lao Zi using the Molten Chakra Mode, Danzo couldn't help but sigh.

"The game is over. I won't play with you anymore."

Raising his right palm, chakra gathered in the palm of his hand, Danzo instantly appeared next to Lao Zi with just physical skills, and pressed forward in the other's horrified eyes.

"Spiral Wheel Yu!"
