Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe and said with a smile, "I'm planning to have you join the Anbu and lead a new special operations squad. What do you think?"

"You've arranged everything so perfectly, and you even symbolically asked for my opinion. Seriously, I'm going to cry."

Chiba inwardly grumbled a couple of times, but still maintained a respectful smile on his face, saying, "I couldn't be happier. Thank you for your promotion, Lord Third Generation. I will certainly not let you down."

To be fair, the three generations of the family gave him quite a lot. Chiba was essentially promoted from a common soldier to a commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Ah, very good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction and began to explain his vision for the new special operations squad.

"I intend for you to lead a small team with medical support capabilities, to be responsible for some important figures related to the Dark Side, to provide them with medical support when needed, and to dispose of their bodies if necessary."

(In the ninja world, to prevent information leaks, the bodies of some important ninjas must be tracked down and destroyed.)

"No problem, Third Generation Lord!"

Chiba's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed.

Providing medical support to key figures in the Dark Side sounds like a great way to farm rewards!

Even if it costs him his own money, Chiba is willing to take on this job!

"Well, the Anbu is short-handed right now, so let Kosuke and Nawaki assist you for now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to make arrangements, clearly having already planned everything: "As for the remaining person, let the pharmacist Nonou from the intelligence unit fill the gap first. Her medical and combat abilities are both outstanding."

"Yakushi Nonou?!"

Upon suddenly hearing the name of the mature woman in white stockings, Chiba was somewhat surprised and momentarily forgot to respond.

"What, do you think I shouldn't know so much about Danzo's subordinates?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Chiba and said meaningfully, "Although some things are left to Danzo to handle, I am the Hokage, do you understand, Chiba?"

“I understand, Lord Sandai.”

Chiba felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that the Third Hokage was telling him that in Konoha, one must distinguish between the kings and queens.

"Alright, you're practically my grand-disciple now, so you don't need to be so reserved in front of me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, resuming his smiling demeanor: "Before the new class is formed, there is one more task that I need you to carry out."

"Sunagakure will be establishing diplomatic relations with Konoha. Considering that the Kazekage has a good impression of you, I plan to send you as one of Konoha's envoys to Sunagakure."

"My lords, I am but a man of limited knowledge and learning..."

Chiba was about to refuse, but Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't give him the chance and continued speaking to himself.

"Danzo is in charge of this matter. He is currently working in the next office. He will explain the specifics to you."

Chiba: "...Yes, Third Generation Lord."

"I really don't want to see Sexy Sun Bro until I can activate Susanoo!"

Despite being very unwilling.

However, after leaving the Hokage's office, Chiba still had to knock on Danzo's office door.

"Enter!"

A cold voice came from inside the room, and Chiba walked into Danzo's office with a trembling heart.

This was the first time Chiba had seen the First Hokage, known as the Dark Ninja, since his time travel. To be honest, the sense of oppression was overwhelming.

Shimura Danzo simply sat down and casually glanced at Chiba, and Chiba immediately felt as if he were being watched by a venomous snake, as if he were being watched from behind. The sense of crisis that rose in Chiba's heart was far greater than when he first met Orochimaru!

Bang!

At that moment, the door behind Chiba suddenly closed, startling him so much that he looked around anxiously, fearing that hundreds of Root ninjas would rush out from behind the screen and destroy the Sharingan he had just acquired.

"Since there are no outsiders here, I will speak frankly."

While processing the documents on the table, Shimura Danzo said, "I have reached an agreement with the Third Kazekage to use this mission as a pretext to help him launch a 'coup' in Sunagakure and eliminate Chiyo and the others."

"Why is Shimura Danzo telling me all this? Could it be...?!"

Chiba's pupils contracted; he suddenly had a bad feeling.

What Shimura Danzo said next confirmed Chiba's guess, causing him to have a mental breakdown on the spot.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Chiyo's grandson. Once you arrive in Sunagakure, try to infiltrate Chiyo and the others as an ally of the Third Kazekage and follow orders."

Chapter 61 Danzo's Scheme: Chiba's Narrow Escape?

"A coup? And you expect me to provide support?!"

Chiba was completely devastated.

A coup d'état is as dangerous as snatching chestnuts from a fire, and to expect him to support it is tantamount to putting his life on the line!

Not to mention that Chiyo and Ebizo are still at their peak, the "father and mother" sandwiched between Sasori and Chiyo, both of whom have the ability to destroy a country, probably also have strength no less than the two of them.

"Three semi-shadow level experts, and you expect me to provide support? One wrong move, and I'll become Young Master Scorpion's eternal plaything!"

Chiba is self-aware; with his small arms and legs, he might be able to handle Karura and Yekura with Hime, but he really can't handle Chiyo and the other three!

After a moment's hesitation, Chiba tentatively asked, "Lord Danzo, was the Third Hokage aware of this matter?"

Snapped!

Upon hearing Chiba's words, Shimura Danzo slammed his pen on the table and sneered.

"Our Hokage is of course unaware of this. Such a shady matter was naturally planned by me alone!"

Upon hearing this, Chiba's heart sank.

Danzo's words made Chiba realize that this matter was tacitly approved by the Third Hokage, and he had no right to refuse.

"Any more questions? If not, hurry back and get ready. Don't disturb my work!"

Danzo waved his hand impatiently.

Knowing there was no room for maneuver, Chiba stopped talking and silently turned and left.

Not long after Chiba left.

A figure emerged from behind the screen and spoke, looking in the direction where Chiba had disappeared.

"Lord Danzo, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Why don't you take this chance to eliminate Minato Namikaze first, instead of choosing to target Chiba?"

As Danzo Shimura's advisor, Yamanaka Yofu knows his true plan.

The adults never intended to help the Third Kazekage seize power. Instead, they wanted him, a member of the delegation, to cause as much trouble as possible and plunge Sunagakure into internal strife so that Konoha could profit more. That was one reason.

Secondly, the adults also instructed him to take this opportunity to eliminate Chiba!

"Chiba is a hidden danger no less than Minato Namikaze."

Danzo Shimura said coldly, "In just a few months, he has gained the recognition of many clans and the Sannin. In this respect, Minato Namikaze is far inferior to him. We cannot let him continue to grow."

"Furthermore, Hiruzen has been giving me a hard time lately. I need a new war to consolidate the meager power I hold in my hands."

As he spoke, Shimura Danzo looked at the night wind in the mountains: "Even though it's Sunagakure, try to make it as clean as possible, don't leave any traces, understand?"

Faced with Danzo's instructions, Yama no Yoru smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, Lord Danzo, I'll make the Sand Village Bird burn the fish to a crisp. When that happens, I'll make sure that brat's body is completely obliterated!"

In reality, if Sunagakure were to descend into chaos, Chiba, who had unknowingly infiltrated the enemy ranks and foolishly obeyed the Kazekage's orders, would have no chance of escaping death!

……

A week later, on a rickety horse-drawn carriage.

The Third Kazekage and Chiba sat facing each other, discussing important matters after returning to Sunagakure.

"You saved Sasori. Given Chiyo's children's personalities, they will definitely invite you to get closer to them. At that time, I will need you to find out the location of the One-Tailed Jinchuriki who is being held."

Because of the numerous unequal treaties signed with Konoha, the Third Kazekage spoke in a harsh tone, constantly using a commanding manner, completely disregarding Chiba's attitude.

Anyway, Chiba couldn't disobey Hokage's orders, so what could he do even if he was dissatisfied?

Once they reach Sunagakure, even for the sake of his own life, Chiba will obediently listen to him.

"Heh, a figurehead still acts so high and mighty. No wonder you have no one to rely on. You should really come to China and learn what it means to treat people with respect."

Chiba shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to the other party. He guessed that the whole thing was probably caused by him.

Because of his existence, Sasori's parents did not die, which broke the balance between the Third Kazekage and Chiyo. This guy was probably forced to have the idea of ​​using external forces to get rid of Chiyo and the others.

As for Bunfuku, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki of Sunagakure, he was imprisoned in a cell from a young age until he grew old.

Judging from what the Kazekage said, their village's nuclear weapons are no longer in his hands, but in the hands of Chiyo and others. It's unbelievable that the Kazekage of a village has fallen to this state!

"Hmph, my senior brother Minato Namikaze is someone who can suppress nuclear weapons!" Chiba thought with immense pride.

"At the banquet for the envoys, you will sit with Chiyo and the others, and launch a surprise attack with all your might to help me take them down..."

The Third Kazekage was still issuing orders, but just then, Sasori's displeased voice suddenly came from outside the car.

"Hey, Chiba, what are you doing in his car? Get out and get in my car!"

"Hmph, what a spoiled idiot."

The Third Kazekage snorted coldly upon hearing this, then looked at Chiba and arrogantly said, "Remember what I just said. You'll be rewarded handsomely after this is done."

After saying that, the Third Kazekage removed the soundproof barrier and casually waved his hand, signaling Chiba to get out of the car quickly.

"Heh, if it weren't for orders, you might be dead by my hand!"

Chiba's eyes turned slightly cold. In his heart, only Tsunade and Nonou could ride on his head... Konan counts as half of them too, making a total of two and a half.

Chiba arrived at Sasori's carriage, which, to be honest, was much more luxurious than Kazekage's. Not only were the seats more spacious, but there was even a small puppet show to watch.

"Scorpion, what's with that expression?"

Looking at Sasori's resentful expression, Chiba said helplessly, "I am an envoy sent to Sunagakure, so naturally I need to have more contact with the Kazekage!"

"The Kazekage? Ha, in Sunagakure, his word doesn't count."

Scorpion smiled contemptuously, then pointed to himself with a hint of smugness and said, "You'd be better off getting on good terms with me, and I guarantee you'll complete your mission smoothly."

"Ah this."
