Chapter 321 Naruto: So, Granny, why did Sasori become a rogue ninja?
In Sunagakure, Naruto and the others were released with Tsunade's guarantee.
Although, Sunagakure never intended to make things difficult for them.
However, Naruto was called into a separate office.
Here he saw an old lady.
And this old woman is none other than Sasori's only living relative, Granny Chiyo.
"Tsunade is really bold to release the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha and let him run to another ninja village."
Chiyo couldn't help but sigh when she saw Naruto.
Naruto then offered an explanation.
"Grandma, first of all, I am Naruto Uzumaki, a Jonin of Konoha, not some Jinchuriki. Secondly, our Hokage is indeed quite bold."
"You're quite an interesting young man."
Chiyo smiled, then became serious.
"Young man, are you sure the puppeteer hiding among the puppets is this person?"
While asking the questions, Chiyo took out a photo, and the photo showed Scorpion as a child.
"Ah! It's him. Although he looks a bit younger in the photo than in person, I can't mistake him."
"I understand, thank you, young man."
"So, old lady, do you know this person? You even have a picture of him?"
Upon hearing Naruto's question, Chiyo's gaze towards Sasori's photo became somewhat melancholic.
"He is my grandson, named Sasori. He was once a genius puppeteer in the village, but due to some events, he eventually became a rogue ninja and left the village."
"Ah! He's actually your grandson?! But why did he become a rogue ninja?"
Hehehehe.
Chiyo couldn't help but laugh.
"Speaking of which, the reason why Sasori has become like this today is also related to your Konoha."
Naruto instinctively wanted to ask more, but he quickly realized what was happening and covered his mouth.
He knew that if he continued asking, things might get out of hand.
"Lady Chiyo, the elders of the council have all arrived. You may proceed with the meeting."
"I see."
Chiyo stood up from her seat.
Now that Sunagakure has lost its Kazekage, its internal factions are splitting and it's on the verge of falling apart. As a last resort, Maki has invited this highly respected elder back to take charge.
"Young man, come with me to the meeting."
Naruto looked completely bewildered, and pointed at himself with some surprise.
"Me? That's not appropriate. This is a high-level meeting of your Sunagakure village. It's not good for an outsider like me to attend."
"There's nothing wrong with that; you're just one part of the meeting anyway."
"what?"
In the Sunagakure meeting hall, a group of Sunagakure's high-ranking officials were arguing incessantly.
However, what they were arguing about was not the future of Sunagakure, but the interests of their respective factions.
"Squeak~!"
"Da da da da~!"
A series of footsteps sounded, and Chiyo walked in, followed by a somewhat bewildered Naruto.
She sat down in the main seat and had someone bring a chair for Naruto to sit next to her.
This series of actions left everyone dumbfounded, wondering what Chiyo was going to do, and the entire conference room fell silent for a moment.
"What's wrong? Why did you stop discussing?"
Chiyo looked at everyone in the conference room.
Although she was old, she knew exactly what these guys were thinking.
The meeting room was quiet for a moment, but soon someone stood up and asked a question.
"Elder Chiyo, what do you mean by this? Why did you bring him here?"
"I don't mean anything by it, it's just that it's more convenient to have him present for the upcoming meeting."
"But this is against the rules!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp gaze fall on him, and the person who cast the gaze was none other than Granny Chiyo.
"Rules? Alright then. Since you invited me out to take charge again, I have to explain the rules to you properly for the safety of Sunagakure."
If I find any of you not following the rules, don't blame me for being ruthless.
These words immediately sent chills down the spines of many people.
How many of them have clean hands? If a real investigation were conducted, they would all be caught.
As for whether Granny Chiyo can find out?
Then there's no need to say more. You have to know that Granny Chiyo's younger brother, Elder Ebizo, is in charge of the Anbu of Sunagakure. If the Anbu really wanted to investigate, what could possibly escape their investigation?
"Alright, enough with the nonsense. You've already said all that before I arrived. Now let's discuss the future of Sunagakure."
Chiyo tapped the table, setting the tone.
"Our Sunagakure has already experienced the loss of the Kazekage once, and we absolutely cannot let it happen a second time. Therefore, we must take back the Kazekage no matter what."
With the general tone of the meeting set, everyone began to discuss.
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, discussing a whole lot of things, but no one really got to the point.
"Enough, all of you just shut up. Not a single one of you has said anything useful."
Chiyo slammed her hand on the table, and the conference room fell silent once more.
"Naruto Uzumaki, right?"
Naruto nodded.
"Yes, old lady, my name is Naruto Uzumaki."
“Alright, Naruto, tell me what you’ve discovered. Why did the Akatsuki want to capture our Kazekage from Sunagakure?”
Naruto shared his guess.
"The Akatsuki's real goal is the Tailed Beasts; they're after the Tailed Beast inside Gaara."
Moreover, they don't just want one tailed beast, but all nine. Kurama within me, which you often refer to as the Nine-Tails, is also their target!
Naruto explained the reasons for his speculation, recounting what Sasori had told him.
For example, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is also one of their targets, but not Sasori's target.
Then there's the idea that Scorpions don't mind interfering in other people's tasks, etc.
These words are enough to prove that the Akatsuki's target is all the Tailed Beasts. Besides Sasori's group, there are several other Akatsuki groups carrying out other Tailed Beast capture missions.
Everyone was shocked. The Akatsuki actually planned to capture all nine tailed beasts. What were they trying to do?
They were all too aware of the power of the Tailed Beasts.
Now, some people want to collect all the tailed beasts. What are they trying to do?
"Very good, now you have all heard it, this is the purpose of the Akatsuki in capturing the Kazekage."
Chiyo then asked again.
"Naruto, do you know where the Akatsuki will take Gaara after they capture him?"
Naruto shook his head. If he had known, he wouldn't have been waiting here; he would have rushed over to save Gaara.
Suddenly, Naruto had a flash of inspiration and took out his phone from his ninja tool bag.
"I've got it! Although I don't know, maybe we can ask the amazing Dream Ambassador of the Ninja World! He might be able to tell us the answer."
Upon hearing this, everyone in Sunagakure was stunned. Could this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki be mentally unstable?
