Chapter 243 Jiraiya-sensei, we did it!
Watching the three figures leave, Kakuzu felt a sharp pain in his teeth. They were finally gone, but he didn't feel any relief.
Kakuzu increasingly felt as if he had been tricked, but he didn't know who was tricking him or how.
Is it Onoki?
But what's the point of keeping him trapped here?
Kakuzu couldn't figure it out for a moment. "Never mind, as long as I don't lose money, it's fine."
-
A few days later, Yahiko and his two companions, carrying Kakuzu's handwritten letter and a crystal ball, arrived at the grove outside the Sunagakure camp.
It's still that huge rock, in the same spot.
This time, however, what awaited them was not a tense standoff, but a subtle anticipation.
Rasa and Karura sat side by side on the other side of the flat rock. When they saw Yahiko and the other two appear with Negishi Kusanagi, their expressions were somewhat subtle.
Not Kakuzu?
Karura reached out and pressed down on Rasa, who was about to lash out: "Yahiko-kun, who is this?"
"My name is Negishi Kusanagi, and I've come to discuss cooperation. Lord Kakuzu is busy and cannot leave."
"I apologize, there's a reason for this, but we've brought evidence and a handwritten letter." Yahiko bowed again in apology, solemnly took out Kakuzu's handwritten letter from his pocket, and handed it over with both hands.
"Lord Rasa, Lord Karura, I have fulfilled my mission. Although Lord Kakuzu was unable to come in person, he provided crucial evidence."
Luo Sha took the letter, unfolded it, and his brows gradually furrowed and then relaxed.
The content wasn't much; the core message was just one sentence: I didn't kill the Third Kazekage; the murderer was Sasori.
That's right. In fact, Kakuzu didn't know who the murderer was, but it was always right to pin the blame on Sasori, since there was video evidence.
Yahiko was prepared; he took the crystal ball from his pocket and held it in his palm.
"Lord Kakuzu said that this is a technological creation used for filming movies, and the images recorded inside contain the truth about the murder of the Third Kazekage."
Luo Sha took the crystal ball: "How do I use it?"
"Just inject chakra."
As instructed, Rasa channeled his chakra into the crystal ball. In an instant, the crystal ball lit up, and images were projected into the air.
In the video, the Third Kazekage lies on the ground, badly injured and disheveled, while Sasori, controlling a puppet, relentlessly pursues him with a crazed expression, clearly the one who did the dirty work.
"Lord Kazekage, I need your body to complete my art."
The Third Kazekage in the video wore a look of despair. However, his body was already severely stiffened by the poison, and he could only watch helplessly as Sasori raised his weapon.
The scene abruptly ends here.
Luo Sha's hands were trembling.
His face was ashen, and his lips were pressed into a thin line. Although he had always suspected that there were other secrets behind the Third Kazekage's death, the shock of seeing the truth in person was far beyond his expectations.
"Scorpion...it really is Scorpion." Although he had suspected it before, he still couldn't accept it when he actually learned the truth.
Galiluo gently held his hand, without saying a word, simply staying by his side to comfort him.
Yahiko and the others stood quietly to the side, waiting for Rasa to process the truth.
After a long while, Luo Sha took a deep breath and carefully put the crystal ball away.
"This evidence is enough. Thank you, Yahiko-kun."
Yahiko shook his head and said, "This is what I should do. Lord Rasa, now that the truth is out, this war..."
Rasa raised her hand to interrupt him: "I know. This war shouldn't continue. But—it's not that simple. In reality, I only have half the power, so the contracts and agreements I sign may not be valid. And it's the same on your side, isn't it? This Lord Negishi Kusanagi probably doesn't have much real power, right?"
Yahiko fell into a brief silence. Upon reflection, he realized that this was indeed the case. He suddenly felt that he had underestimated the ninja world.
"However, I will handle it."
Rasa stretched out his hand, displaying a number: "Give me seven days. Within seven days, I will resolve Chiyo's problem and seize full control of Sunagakure."
Yahiko raised his head and looked into Rasa's eyes. In those eyes, there was determination, ruthlessness, and something else he couldn't understand.
"But seven days from now, I also hope that Hanzo the Salamander will come here and sign the peace agreement with me. Can you do that?"
"Okay, I promise." Yahiko nodded vigorously.
In the ensuing conversation, Luo Sha did not intervene further; the entire discussion was between Jia Liu Luo and Gen An Cao Wu.
Since Jialuo's attitude was very sincere, it seemed that he really cared about the development of the village, and it didn't seem like he was faking it.
Negishi Kusanagi felt that Sunagakure didn't want to fight either, so he lowered his guard a little and began to seriously discuss things with them.
Two more hours passed, and the two continued to write down words and finalize details on paper.
Finally, the agreement was preliminarily reached, and it was only a matter of seven days before the real leaders of both sides signed it.
Rasa and Karura got up to leave. As they walked out of the woods, Karura suddenly stopped and turned back to Yahiko: "Yahiko-kun, thank you. Not for Sunagakure, but for my husband."
Yahiko paused for a moment, then broke into a bright smile: "You're welcome! I just did what I was supposed to do!"
Jialuo smiled slightly, turned around and followed Luosha's footsteps, and the two figures gradually disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Yahiko stood there, watching the direction they had left, and suddenly let out a long breath.
"Finally...we've finally come this far."
After several long months, through my communication and tireless efforts, this war is about to be resolved.
Konan walked to his side and gently took his hand. Nagato stood a little distance away, watching him silently.
Yahiko turned around, looked at his two companions, and his smile grew wider and wider until it almost overflowed.
"Jiraiya-sensei, did you see that?" He looked up at the sky and shouted, "I did it! I did it!"
The sound echoed through the woods, startling a flock of birds. Xiao Nan was amused by his appearance, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
After Yahiko finished shouting, he lowered his head and looked at Konan and Nagato: "We did it."
Xiao Nan nodded: "Yes, we did it."
The three people held hands tightly, and finally hugged each other tightly, oblivious to everyone else around them.
It took Yahiko quite a while to calm down.
He added seriously, "But we can't be too happy yet. We still have one last mission. That is, to persuade Lord Hanzo of the Salamander."
He looked in the direction of the Rain Village camp.
Seven days. In seven days, everything will be settled.
Looking into their determined gazes, Negishi Kusanagi, standing to the side, was inadvertently infected by their unwavering emotions.
Perhaps they really can succeed.
