Naruto, I will reveal the truth Chapter 138

Land of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

“Advisor Chiyo, why did you call me back in such a hurry?”

Gaara returned to Sand Hidden Village, looking exhausted. After taking a big gulp of water, he continued before Chiyo could even speak,

“The golden sand in the desert has become increasingly difficult to mine lately. This can’t go on like this; we must find another way to make money!”

Chiyo looked at Gaara’s rough skin and felt helpless.

The harsh desert environment leads to low output, low output means not enough people can be supported, and fewer people result in low output—this is a vicious cycle!

Moreover, without money, Sand Ninja Village cannot support many ninjas. Fewer ninjas mean losing wars, and losing wars means not getting the support of the Daimyo.

If they lose wars and the Daimyo doesn’t provide money, they can’t support many ninjas—this is yet another vicious cycle!

Aside from mining, Chiyo truly couldn’t think of any good way to solve the village’s financial problems!

“I called you back because of the Third Kazekage’s matter. Take a look at this.”

With that, Chiyo handed over a flyer.

“Judging by the title style, it must be news released by the Uchiha of Konoha. Their news always has such nonsensical titles.”

Chiyo truly hadn’t expected that the Kazekage’s death was actually caused by her own grandson, Sasori!

As for the authenticity of the news, Chiyo didn’t doubt it. After all, she knew about Sasori assassinating the Third Kazekage, and Sasori did indeed disappear on the same day the Kazekage went missing.

Gaara also finished reading the news on the paper, his brows tightly furrowed.

“Sasori has now joined the Akatsuki organization in the Land of Rain? Is it the Akatsuki organization with the ‘Eye of God’?”

Chiyo said with a grim expression,

“Although the Uchiha’s titles are poorly written, their news is indeed very accurate. The previous news revealed by the Uchiha has all been confirmed to be true.”

Now, the Uchiha had spread the news of Sasori assassinating the Kazekage throughout the entire ninja world. Following Konoha and Hidden Mist Village, Sand Hidden Village became the latest village to be shamed across the entire ninja world.

Moreover, Sasori could never return to Sand Hidden Village, which made Chiyo, who loved her grandson, heartbroken to the point of being unable to breathe.

“Although I had known for a long time that Lord Third Kazekage had met with an unfortunate end, to die so dramatically at the hands of a child…

Now Sand Hidden Village has been shamed throughout the entire ninja world!”

Gaara thought of the recent incidents revealed in Konoha and Hidden Mist Village. Now, he was even a little curious if it would be Hidden Stone Village or Hidden Cloud Village next?

Thinking of this, Gaara shook his head to shake off this absurd thought and asked,

“Has the matter of the ‘Eye of God’ not been thoroughly investigated yet?”

“We have dispatched two ninja squads to the Land of Rain to investigate the news of the ‘Eye of God’ exposed by an unknown person. We haven’t received any reply yet!”

Although Chiyo didn’t know who exposed the ‘Eye of God,’ it clearly wasn’t the Uchiha.

Because the title exposing the ‘Eye of God’ was clearly out of place.

Gaara frowned, sensing that things were not simple.

Eye of God!

Just hearing it, he knew it was something quite dangerous.

With no news back after so long, the two ninja squads had likely met with an unfortunate end.

“How about I go personally!”

Gaara was truly tired of mining and wanted to go out and change his mood. And he was indeed very interested in the so-called ‘Eye of God.’

“No, Gaara, the village’s economy cannot do without you. I’ll go instead!”

Chiyo’s real intention was to see Sasori. After all, Sasori could never return to Sand Hidden Village; if caught, only death awaited him.

Gaara choked on his breath, “I just got back and haven’t even rested, and now I have to go mining again? Are you treating me like a Japanese person?”

Chiyo saw Gaara’s expression and realized her words weren’t very pleasant to hear:

“Uh, what I mean is, Gaara, you are the Kazekage, you cannot easily leave the village!”

…

Meanwhile, Hidden Stone Village.

“Kitsuchi, confirm again, there’s nothing embarrassing about our Hidden Stone Village, right?”

“Father, I’m very sure there isn’t. You are the respected Kage of all of us, and there won’t be any negative news like Konoha, Hidden Mist Village, or Hidden Sand Village.”

“But I always have an ominous premonition. The Kage of the Land of Fire, Land of Water, and Land of Wind have all had problems. Only our Land of Earth and Land of Lightning are left!”

Onoki laughed happily when Hiruzen Sarutobi was exposed. A dignified village Kage was actually imprisoned by his own village.

Onoki also laughed when Hidden Mist Village was exposed. As a Kage, he was unknowingly controlled in secret!

Now Hidden Sand Village has also been exposed, and Onoki no longer dared to laugh…

Now he was worried that he would be next.

He was old and didn’t want any embarrassing scandals to appear as he approached retirement.

Although he racked his brains and couldn’t think of anything he had done wrong, he still had a faint ominous premonition.

Kurotsuchi also comforted him from the side, “Lord Tsuchikage, you haven’t done anything wrong, so how could there be any negative news about you?”

“That’s right, Father, you haven’t done anything wrong. What we should be discussing now is how to deal with the Akatsuki organization.”

Since receiving intelligence on the ‘Eye of God,’ Hidden Stone Village’s ninjas had already set out, but after so much time, no news had returned.

“Hmph, the Akatsuki organization is just a small organization that dares not show its face. I’d like to know which is more powerful, the so-called ‘Eye of God’ or my Dust Release!”

Dust Release was Onoki’s pride and his eternal pain.

Because Dust Release was so difficult to learn, no one in the entire Hidden Stone Village except him could learn it.

Now he wanted to pass down the position of Tsuchikage, but there was no one who could take it.

After all, can a Tsuchikage who can’t use Dust Release still be called a Tsuchikage?

Onoki was very tired. His son Kitsuchi was already old, and his life was pretty much set. Deidara had high talent, but unfortunately, he didn’t learn well and had already left the village.

Now he could only place his hopes on his granddaughter, Kurotsuchi.

If Kurotsuchi couldn’t learn it either, then Dust Release would most likely be lost!

Just like the Wood Release that had been lost in Konoha…

“Have the ninjas sent to investigate the intelligence not returned yet?”

“No, a total of twelve people, all of them have lost contact. I suspect they have met with an unfortunate end!”

“Is a mere Hidden Rain Village a dragon’s den or tiger’s lair, or does the so-called ‘Eye of God’ really have such great power?”

The legendary God of Shinobi still died, didn’t he? Onoki didn’t believe that a pair of eyes could have such strange abilities; at most, it was just a special Kekkei Genkai.

No matter how powerful an ability, it depends on who wields it—just a mere brat!

“Father, I think I should lead a team to go. No matter what, our people cannot just disappear without a trace.”

“How many times have I told you, call me Tsuchikage!”
