  If that anization were filled with rogue Shinobi like Sasori, attag them might bring ao Sunagakure's st hope.

  Furthermore, if news of the loss of the Tailed Beast spread throughout the Shinobi world, Suna's situation would bee even more dire. Their trade retions with Konoha would bee even more unequal, and the Iwa monkeys would bee even more urained in their incursions into the Land of Wind's territory…

  The third path:

  That is, before the gap widens too much, unch a Shinobi World War ahead of schedule! Let the Shinobi world forces reshuffle! The victors redistribute the bes and Tailed Beasts. Only in this way could Sunagakure have a ce to recim a seat at the table, rather than being pced on a pte and served as a dish.

  Only this way could Sunagakure have a glimmer of hope, instead of being a semi-ial, semi-feudal society subservient to Konoha.

  Of course, Suna's strength alone was far from enough.

  It was necessary to tie Iwa, Kumo, Kiri, Taki… all these Shinobi vilges, big and small, onto the anti-Konoha alliance's chariot, and wage war against Konoha.

  Konoha was a tempting, massive cake, impossible for Sunagakure to devour alone.

  If the Bck Zetsu Tailed Beast i hadn't happeoday, Baki had inally po wait at least aen years, before ung a war against Konoha. At that time, with the sedary development of the Ryūmyaku chakra and the power of the Tailed Beast, they would have more fidence against Konoha.

  But now, they couldn't wait any longer.

  Perhaps it was time for a peaceful iation with that old geezer from Iwagakure.

  Initiate a Five Kage Summit.

  Baki silently calcuted everything in his heart.

  What gra would there be in the Shinobi world retly? Something that could make Konoha rex its vigince… and give them the ce to strike a surprise blow, as the opening act of the Fourth Shinobi World War?

  "What is it? There must be something, think carefully."

  "Right, the Joint in Exams!"

  Baki's eyes lit up, seizing this glimmer of hope belonging to Suna!

  The [Joint in Exams], a established when Suna and Konoha sighe [Konoha-Suna Treaty], using Pakura's head as a peace to Konoha.

  The treaty stiputed that Suna o co-host the in Exams with Konoha.

  inally, this was a matter between two Shinobi vilges.

  But now, it could be fully exploited.

  Baki even had the annou figured out: in view of the ret turmoil in the ninja world, Konoha would sincerely invite all Shinobi vilges to participate in this peaceful event.

  During the [Joint in Exams], the major Shinobi vilges should y down their swords, cease hostilities, and use a retively civilized method to showcase their vilge's strength.

  Konoha, wasn't it eager for a reputation?

  The reputation of a peace-loving major vilge, how effective would that be? I bet Konoha would be pletely unprepared and invite all sizes of Shinobi vilges in the ninja world to their own vilge to hold the joint exams.

  Inside Konoha, there would be elite Shinobi from each vilge arrao participate in the exams; outside Konoha, there would be the allied ninja forces of the Freat Vilges… inside and outside w together!

  The grand uaking could be aplished!

  Baki ched his fist forcefully, cheering himself on for his calcutions! He also let out a lot of the stuffy air in his chest.

  This feeling was like a student who had failed an exam, anxiously waiting at home for the school to send the report card to his parents. The process would be extraordinarily agonizing, but when the report card really came down, there would be a sense of relief.

  Like a te-game hero on both sides, dragging out development in a war of attrition, tone, wilds gone, dragons gone, forty mio a decisive battle, oeam fight to end the game, no need! Wait until… it's all over!

  Now, Suna didn't want to py the slow game, they just wao start the fight as quickly as possible ahis Shinobi World Best-of-One.

  The subordinate beside him didn't know why his Kazekage had suddenly bee so cheerful, but a good mood was always a good thing, it wouldn't be directed at them.

  So, the Anbu fidant stepped forward and whispered, "My lord… these guard ninjas, and the injured ninjas, should we send them to the Suna Hospital for treatment, and t it as a work injury?"

  Although it was called the Suna Hospital, its scale couldn't be pared to Konoha Hospital. It was just a small building, able to perform some simple surgeries. It was more accurate to call it a ic or health ter.

  "Hmph!!" Baki snorted coldly. He had thought of a way to break the situation, but that didn't mean that these guards who had lost could be spared his wrath.

  "The political criminals, headed by Yasuke, have escaped. Increase their crimes, and put them ba prison!"

  "The guard Shinobi who were dereli their duties, causing the Oailed Jinchuriki to be snatched away by Akasuna no Sasori, will all be dealt with acc to dereli of duty, and thrown into prison for iigation! Those who haven't made mistakes will remain on probation!"

  "You, take the Anbu and fiscate the homes of the in and Genin, and all the cash obtained will be turned over to the Kazekage Tower! As for the Jonin, fiscate half of their property."

  Baki paused, then added, "Also… the matter of the Oailed Jinchuriki being taken away must not be revealed to the public. Today, only the Rōran Ryūmyaku was attacked, there was no Jinchuriki being taken! Whoever leaks the news, these guard Shinobi will be their fate!"

  "Yes! Kazekage-sama!"

  The Anbu fidant resporemblingly.

  His heart was already shocked by the cruelty and ruthlessness Baki dispyed.

  Perhaps, this was the daily life that Shinobi born in Sunagakure should experiehe cruel Shinobi system was implemented in every er of life and missions.

  This was reasonable, and the "benevolent gover" of the Fourth Kazekage was a short-lived anomaly.

  But… humas are made of flesh. Every time this happehese ordinary Suna Shinobi couldn't help but miss the time when the Fourth Kazekage was in power.

  Although it was short, it was enough for these ordinary Shinobi to remember for a lifetime.

  'If the Fourth Kazekage's daughter, Priemari, could bee the Sixth Kazekage, and bring another benevolent rule to the vilge, that would be great.'

  The Anbu fidant turo leave, but Baki's voice came from behind again:

  "By the way, send invitations to Elder Chiyo and Elder Ebizo, saying that I, the Fifth Kazekage, have something I must ask them for. Also, for the future of Sunagakure, I also ask them to must see me."

  ...

  [Konohagakure and Sunagakure sign an agreement, pnning to relocate the people of Rōran. This popution transfer will involve the mobilization of tens of thousands of people.]

  [The capture of the Missing-nin was a plete success. The Konoha delegatiourns! This decres that Konoha's anti-terrorism operation in the Shinobi world has achieved great progress! Konoha Police, worthy of the name!]

  [The Ryūmyaku was destroyed, and the future of the Land of Wind is uain!]

  The news of the Shinobi world is always so exaggerated.

  After capturing the Ryūmyaku, Gojo Kaigetsu and his party also successfully returo Konohagakure.

  In the process, Sunagakure was uedly well-behaved, and did not do anything that would be detrimental to the friendly cooperatioweewo vilges. But the more ho Suna behaved, the more vigint Gojo Kaigetsu became.

  Leaving aside the stant prosperity prompts from the system, Gojo Kaigetsu could basically guess.

  Akatsuki had made such a big move, with Konan and Shinnō w together, there was no reason why Akasuna no Sasori wouldn't act.

  The battle for the Ryūmyaku and the battle for the Oailed Jinchuriki were u the same time. Sasori, holding two Kazekage human puppets, undoubtedly crushed Sunagakure's defensive forces against the Jinchuriki.

  "With Akatsuki's current manpower she, Bck Zetsu is also restless~ He uhe Tailed Beast capture pn ten years early."

  Bck Zetsu's urgency was uandable. The pn had been disrupted again and again. If they followed the inal pn and waited aen years to start capturing the Tailed Beasts… Akatsuki would be fag a she of manpower.

  For this reason, Bck Zetsu had to risk exposing Akatsuki to the Five Great Vilges early and put the Tailed Beast capture pn on the agenda.

  But now, it seemed that Akatsuki was almost out of people.

  "Hurry up and arrange an ambunce! e to the Top Healing ward!"

  After entering Konoha, Gojo Kaigetsu, having a good sce, didn't go to the Hokage Tower to report immediately. Instead, he personally directed the logistics Shinobi to carry the stretchers with Might Guy and Uchiha Shisui to Konoha Hospital.

  Upon receiving the notice, Lord Kakuzu frowned and immediately summoned his Jiongu to begin suturing Might Guy's wounds.

  As for Uchiha Shisui, he was directly sent to the Top Healing ward for IV fluids.

  After settling the two injured new geion ninjas, Gojo Kaigetsu took a breath and leisurely returo the Hokage's office.

  "Kaigetsu-kun, how is it?!"

  Minato was also aware of the atta the Ryūmyaku in Suna, and asked impatiently.

  "Don't worry, I'm fine."

  "As fht Guy and Uchiha Shisui, they were sent to the hospital. I re they'll o rest for a long time."

  Gojo Kaigetsu waved his hand, seeing Minato's appearance, he uood that the events of the alterimeline hadn't affected him.

  Hearing this news, Minato sighed in relief. It was most important that Gojo Kaigetsu was fine.
