The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

Time quickly came to the end of Kirigakure 44.

In the past six months or so since the end of the Joint Chunin Exam, the gunpowder filling the powder keg of the Ninja World is almost overflowing. A new Ninja World War could break out at any time and anywhere. All that's missing is a spark that would ignite this powder keg...!

And at this very moment, in the Sand Village of the Wind Country, a major event that will have a profound impact on the ninja world is about to happen...!

.........

.........

.........

The howling wind swept past, raising huge waves of sand.

Looking around, the whole world seemed to be swallowed up by the endless yellow sand and dust, and it was chaotic and hazy.

This is what most areas of the Kingdom of Wind look like, suffering from the ravages of wind and sand and extremely harsh climate all year round...!

In the sky, the thick dust was like a thick curtain, blocking the sunlight and making the day that should have been bright and warm become dim and gloomy.

Under the blowing of strong wind, sand poured down like dense raindrops, hitting the body and making bursts of noise...!

Walking on the road, every step will sink you into a deep sand pit, making it extremely difficult to move forward.

And in the heart of the desert of the Land of Wind lies the Sand Village, one of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world.

But even in the Sand Village, the villagers living there cannot completely escape the invasion of the sandstorm.

The walls of the house were mottled by wind and sand, and the window glass was covered with a thick layer of dust, making it difficult to see the scenery outside.

Although ninjutsu was often used for cleaning, the mountains of sand on the streets still left people with nowhere to stand. Only the occasional Sand Ninjas passed by and quickly shuttled through the streets, their figures looming in the wind and sand.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the Third Kazekage Tessa and the ninjas of Sunagakure covet the Land of Fire and Konoha Village. After all, the environment in the Land of Wind is really too harsh...!

.........

.........

.........

In a shadow below the Fengying Building, a gloomy red-haired boy looked up and stared at the location of Fengying's office, his heart full of hatred.

He seemed to be able to see through the thick layers of sandy walls and see the Third Generation Fengying Tiesha handling government affairs in Fengying's office!

This red-haired boy is none other than the genius puppeteer of the Sand Village, Scorpion of the Red Sand!!!

"The death of my father and mother was not just because of that damn war and that damn Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo!" Scorpion slowly closed his eyes, his inner emotions fluctuating violently.

"If it weren't for your decision in the last Ninja World War! It led to the complete defeat of Sunagakure! My father and mother wouldn't have died in the war with Konoha! So, as the Kazekage! You cannot escape the blame!" Scorpion thought hatefully, murderous intent unconsciously overflowing from his eyes, and then dissipated in an instant.

The death of his father Yimu and his mother Liuyue left an irreparable trauma in the heart of the then young Scorpion.

Originally, the three of them had agreed that after Yimu and Liuyue returned from their mission, they would take a family photo together.

However, Scorpion waited in the village for a long time but could not wait for his parents to return. In the end, all he got was his grandmother Chiyo's words while holding back her grief, "Your father and mother suddenly had to go on other missions, and they will have to wait for a while before they can come back..."

Initially, the naive Scorpion didn't know what this meant, and believed what Chiyo said. However, day after day of waiting finally made him disappointed. As he grew older and more mature, he already understood the true "whereabouts" of his parents...!

So, he started investigating in the Sand Village alone without telling Chiyo.

In fact, Chiyo's original intention was to give Scorpion some hope and let him have a relatively happy childhood. Therefore, Chiyo, who did not want Scorpion to be exposed to hatred too early, concealed everything and told Scorpion nothing. She planned to wait until Scorpion grew up before telling him the truth.

However, as a high-ranking official in the Sand Village, she was too busy and had little time to spend with the young Scorpion. Moreover, she also ignored Scorpion's changes in thinking...!

Therefore, under this kind of "loneliness", Scorpio's thoughts become more and more extreme.

What's more, Scorpion's status as the grandson of Elder Chiyo, coupled with his unrivaled talent as a puppeteer in the Sand Village, gives him very high authority in the village.

Therefore, even though Scorpion was investigating alone in secret, he had gradually figured out over the years what mission his parents were carrying out back then, and he also learned that the murderer who killed his parents was none other than Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo!

However, Hatake Sakumo had committed suicide at home a few years ago!

Although Hatake Sakumo has a son named Hatake Kakashi, Sasori does not bother to transfer his hatred to White Fang's son.

Therefore, Scorpio transferred the target of hatred to another person.

In Sasori's opinion, if it weren't for the many wrong decisions made by the Third Kazekage Tessa during the Second Ninja World War, the Sand Village would not have had to fight a life-and-death battle with Konoha. Also, if the Third Kazekage Tessa and his disciple Rasa had not been injured and did not participate in the battle, his parents would not have become the commanders of the surprise attack on Konoha.

Therefore, the Third Kazekage Tessa must bear a large share of the blame for the death of his parents. It would certainly be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he is the murderer, but it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he has an unshirkable responsibility...!

More importantly, after the death of his parents, except Chiyo and Ebizo, the rest of the Sunagakure high-ranking officials, including the Third Kazekage Tessa, did not support revenge against Konoha.

Although Chiyo had a high prestige in Sunagakure, and the Sunagakure high-ups had no choice but to agree to continue fighting with Konoha because they could not persuade Chiyo, but Iron Sand, who had the title of the strongest Kazekage, never appeared on the battlefield again...!

Scorpion made a deduction based on the intelligence he collected about the battle situation at that time. In fact, Sand Village was only one step away from victory. If the Third Kazekage Iron Sand could appear on the battlefield, then even if his injuries had not healed, his invincible magnetic escape technique in large-scale group battles alone would be able to tip the scales of victory completely towards Sand Village...!

Therefore, Scorpion believes that the Third Kazekage, Tessa, has completely lost his faith as a Sand Ninja, and he is not worthy of continuing to bear the title of "Kazekage"!!!
