#191 - Chapter 191 The Fifth Kazekage
Accompanied by the opening of the Kazekage's office door, a group of people walked in.
The leader could be considered Rasa's old acquaintances, Chiyo and Ebizo from this future world, both of whom were looking at Rasa with vigilance and inquiry.
Behind the two elders were two unfamiliar men, whose identities were also simple: the leaders of the aristocratic and commoner factions of Sunagakure in this era, and also the two elders of Sunagakure now. As for Mikawa and Yōkura, according to the information just seen, the original Rasa of this future timeline, in order to secure his position as Kazekage, not only betrayed Yōkura to Kirigakure, but also resolved the Mikawa faction.
He's ruthless enough!
Behind these two men was Maki, the head of the Anbu, and beside Maki were Rasa's children: Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara.
It must be said that the recovery ability of a Jinchuriki is truly amazing.
In just one day, Gaara was already able to get out of bed and walk on his own.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the Kazekage sitting in front of them with strange expressions.
Although the person seemed to be the same, he was too young. Moreover, the information obtained from Konoha made everyone in Sunagakure feel strange.
Seeing this, Rasa put down the scroll in his hand and said to everyone.
"Sit down!"
The four elders took their seats, while Maki, Temari, and the others stood aside.
Rasa didn't waste time, and he didn't want to waste time here either.
"Then I'll make it short. I think you've already received some information. I am indeed dead!"
"!!!"
Instantly, everyone in the entire office had their pupils constricted, even Gaara was shocked, and Temari anxiously shouted.
"Dad... Father!"
Of course, Rasa wouldn't tell the truth. He wouldn't tell the Six Paths Sage of this world about his origins.
He had already thought of the following explanation.
"Four days ago, on the way to Konoha, I went to see Orochimaru. I didn't expect that this guy would suddenly attack me."
Understanding the cause and effect, everyone was shocked and angry at the same time, shouting.
"That damn Orochimaru..."
"Revenge, we must avenge Lord Kazekage!"
"Konoha must pay the price!"
Only Elder Chiyo calmly asked.
"Then Lord Kazekage, what is your current state?"
This question immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Orochimaru resurrected me using the Impure World Reincarnation in order to deal with his teacher."
"Impure World Reincarnation!? Is that the forbidden technique invented by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju?"
Chiyo and Ebizo were both people who had fought against the Second Hokage, so they naturally knew about the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
The two new elders and Maki, Temari, and others, hearing the two elders say this, immediately confirmed that the Kazekage seemed to be really dead. Temari couldn't accept it for a moment, and her face became painful.
"Yes, but fortunately, I happen to know the method to release the Impure World Reincarnation, and because of a special secret technique, I can now be said to be truly resurrected for a short time."
"Truly resurrected!?"
"A short time!"
Now the people in the room were surprised again.
"Yes, I'm not sure how long this state of mine can last. Therefore, the only purpose for Maki to call you here this time is to choose a new Kazekage while I am still alive and able to stabilize the foundation of Sunagakure!"
"!!!"
Just when everyone thought the surprise had ended, Rasa's next words shocked everyone even more.
"And I have already decided on the candidate for the Fifth Kazekage, and that is: Gaara!"
At this moment, a gasp of cold air sounded throughout the office. Gaara's pupils shrank suddenly, while Temari and Kankuro looked at their father and younger brother in disbelief. Chiyo and Ebizo frowned and remained silent. Maki fell into deep thought, because for him, this was indeed a good choice. As the Kazekage's confidant and Gaara's teacher, it would be the best choice if Gaara could become the Kazekage. However, there was a huge obstacle in this...
The two new elders immediately stood up and roared.
"I disagree, Lord Kazekage! Not to mention that Gaara is only a Genin now, his identity alone makes it impossible for him to become the Kazekage..."
"Yes, that's right. A Jinchuriki becoming the Kazekage is unprecedented in the history of our Sunagakure. Moreover, Gaara is too unstable. Who knows when he will lose control? I disagree with entrusting the village to such a bomb that could explode at any time."
Now, the entire office was filled with tension.
"Hmph!"
Rasa just snorted softly and slowly opened his mouth.
"I think you've misunderstood one thing. I'm not asking for your consent, but notifying you!"
Chiyo and Ebizo's pupils shrank, because they both felt Rasa's killing intent at this moment, but the two new elders still shouted.
"No... Kazekage, the election of the new Kazekage is not up to you. It must be approved by our elders' council."
"Yes, not to mention that you are just a dead person now, even when you were alive, you couldn't be so arbitrary!"
"Hmph! Is that so? Then I can only apologize!"
"What!!!"
"Stab!!!"
Two golden sand spears directly pierced the hearts of the two elders. The huge force pinned them to the wall, and bright red blood flowed down the golden spears. They struggled to say something.
At this moment, everyone in the office had their pupils constricted. Even the two elders stood up in shock and looked at Rasa in horror, because Rasa's speed was too fast, so fast that even they didn't react. This meant that if Rasa wanted to kill them, it would also be a matter of moments.
Maki, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara all looked panicked and horrified.
Rasa, however, seemed to have only done an insignificant thing and said.
"Maki, handle the aftermath. Also, have the Anbu keep an eye on things. In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things. If anyone wants to cause trouble during this time, arrest them all for me."
Maki was also extremely nervous at this moment, looking at the bodies of the two elders still hanging on the wall, and said tremblingly.
"I... I understand, Lord Kazekage!"
Only then did Rasa nod and look at Chiyo and Ebizo.
And at the moment when Rasa looked at them, Chiyo and Ebizo immediately became highly vigilant.
Chiyo said with a gloomy face.
"What, is the Fourth also going to attack us two old guys?"
Of course Rasa wouldn't. Although these two were old, they were definitely at the level of a Kage. If they died again, then Sunagakure would really have no one to use. Moreover, it was impossible for him to attack the two of them.
"No... I want to use a piece of information to exchange for the two of you to come out of retirement and support Gaara to become the Fifth Kazekage!"
Both of them were stunned.
Chiyo asked with an unkind expression.
"What information?"
"Of course, it's the information about your most beloved grandson and the murderer who killed the Third: Sasori!"
"!!!"
In this future timeline, the death of the Third Kazekage was still an unsolved mystery.
Therefore, at this moment, hearing this answer from Rasa's mouth, everyone present was stunned, followed by a look of horror.
However, Chiyo of both eras was the same, and had long expected this answer.
"Of course, if you are willing, I can also go and capture Sasori now and bring him to you, so that you can reunite with your grandson!"
"......"
