Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 317 Agent Fengying
Looking at the Fourth Kazekage who turned into a black dot and disappeared, Elder Chiyo and the Sand Ninjas were all stunned.

They didn't expect that the Fourth Kazekage would attack them, nor did they expect that the Fourth Kazekage would refuse to return to the village with them and chose to escape.

The identity of the Fourth Kazekage is clear. Even if everyone has doubts about whether he assassinated the Third Kazekage, they can only temporarily take him back to the village for guarding. Only after obtaining concrete evidence can they take action against Luo Sha.

But the Fourth Kazekage's escape at this moment undoubtedly increased everyone's suspicion.

After all, if the Fourth Kazekage hadn't been guilty of something, there would have been no need for him to run away. It would have been enough for him to return to the village and confront Scorpion with dignity and reveal the truth of that year.

After a brief glance at each other, the jonin Maki turned to Elder Chiyo and asked, "Elder Chiyo, the Yondaime has escaped. What should we do next?"

Elder Chiyo sighed and said, "Let's go back to the village for now. Our manpower is no match for Rasa and Orochimaru. We can do some investigation after we return."

After hearing this, Maki and others breathed a sigh of relief.

They were unwilling to fight with Luosha. Firstly, because Luosha was the Fourth Kazekage of the village, and secondly, Luosha was the strongest in the village. Even if they had Elder Chiyo in charge, it would be difficult to keep Luosha.

However, after returning home tonight, it was difficult for them to fall asleep again.

Within a few hours, a series of shocking events broke out in the village. First, the Jinchuriki went berserk, and Scorpion, who had been missing for many years, returned to the village with a Kazekage puppet to suppress the situation.

Later, the news that the Kazekage assassinated the Jinchūriki was exposed, and he personally witnessed the Kazekage colluding with Orochimaru.

For people like them, they no longer know what will happen tomorrow.

After returning to the village, Chiyo came to the room where Scorpion was.

After learning from her subordinates that Scorpion had not left the room, Chiyo pushed open the door.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Scorpion manipulated Fei Liuhu to turn around and look at Chiyo, and said lightly: "Old woman, why did you come back so soon? Did Luo Sha give you accurate information?"

Chiyo nodded and said, "I misunderstood you about this matter. The order to assassinate the Jinchuriki was given by Rasa, but he didn't really want to assassinate the Jinchuriki. He just wanted to stimulate Gaara's ability."

"What a cold and heartless father! But it fits the tradition of Sunagakure."

Scorpion sneered, then looked at Chiyo with interest and said, "After the Jinchūriki's matter is dealt with, it should be time to deal with me, a traitor who has been away from the village for many years."

"How many ninjas did Luo Sha ambush outside? Is he planning to let you make the first move? After all, only the puppeteer knows the puppeteer best. Is he betting that I won't make a move on the old woman?"

Scorpion's question left Chiyo silent.

If they had not discovered Rasa having a tryst with Orochimaru when they were in the mine just now, then everything that Sasori said would have become reality. There was no way that Sand Village would allow Sasori to leave with the Kazekage puppet.

But the reality is completely different.

Under the questioning of the senior ninja Maki, Rasa actually attacked the Sand Ninja and chose to escape. Let's not talk about whether the Kazekage's escape can be considered as betrayal.

There is no one in the Sand Village now who is stronger than Scorpion. Given the inequality in strength between the two sides, interrogation is out of the question.

To some extent, the Sand Village still needs Sasori's protection.

After a moment's silence, Chiyo said, "Scorpion, I may have misunderstood you back then. Just because you have a Kazekage puppet on you doesn't mean you are the murderer who attacked the Kazekage. You may also be a victim."

After hearing this, Xie was slightly stunned, secretly feeling that Bai Ye was so powerful that in just a few hours, he turned himself from an attacker to a victim with the Kazekage puppet. "Humph, old woman, you are not so senile yet, but I am very curious, who do you suspect is the murderer of the Third Kazekage?"

"The real culprit cannot be determined yet. It could be Rasa, or it could be Orochimaru or other Konoha ninjas."

After a pause, Chiyo continued, "Before we look for the real murderer, I want to hear your stories over the years. Why did you leave the village? Why have you been unwilling to return to the village?"

Scorpion fell silent, he didn't know how to answer Chiyo.

Bai Ye didn't give him a script before leaving. What if he was exposed by acting freely?
Seeing that Scorpion was unwilling to talk about the past, Chiyo sighed softly. She roughly guessed what happened that year and understood why Scorpion left the village all these years.

It's all because of the Fourth Kazekage. His actions not only killed the Third Kazekage, but also made Scorpion extremely disappointed with the village. He would rather wander in the ninja world over the years than return to the village.

I can only sneak into the village at night to visit my hometown which I have left for a long time.

"Xie, if you don't want to talk about the past, then don't talk about it."

After a pause, Chiyo said in a low voice: "But I have something I want to trouble you with? I hope you can agree to it because I took care of you in the past."

Scorpion looked at Chiyo with a vigilant look:

"Do you want me to return the Kazekage puppet, or do you want me to stay in the Sand Village? I can't agree to these two conditions."

"You were the one who stopped me from going to the battlefield more than ten years ago, and now you want to lock me in this cage?"

Chiyo shook her head and said, "You don't need to return the Kazekage Puppet, and you don't need to stay in the village for too long. The village still needs your help before everything comes to light."

"Without you, we would not be able to stop the Jinchuriki from going berserk. If other ninja villages want to do something to Sunagakure, we will just be beaten. You don't want the village to be occupied by other ninja villages, do you?"

Hearing this, Scorpion fell silent, neither refusing nor agreeing immediately.

Seeing that Scorpion was a little hesitant, Chiyo quickly said:

"While you stay in the village, I will make the ninjas in the village obey your orders and let you have the power to act as the Kazekage. At the same time, you don't have to take on the village's political affairs. If you want to leave the village, you can leave at any time."

When Scorpion heard that Chiyo wanted him to become the acting Kazekage, he knew that the organization's plan was close to success.

But Bai Ye once told him that before becoming the Kazekage he must act as if he was not interested in the Kazekage, so as to avoid arousing other people's suspicion.

However, he really didn't have much interest in Fengying, and he didn't need to act deliberately.

The reason why he was willing to cooperate with Byakuya to go to the Sand Village to carry out the plan was mainly for another thing.

Thinking of this, Scorpion looked into Chiyo's eyes and said, "Old woman, I can agree to your request, but I also have a condition."

After a brief pause, Scorpion continued, under Chiyo's uneasy gaze:

"I want to visit my parents' graves."
