It’s a bit hard for Chiyo to believe that Yuura would be the one
attacking Team Kakashi since he’s been loyal to Suna for four years. At
first, both Team Kakashi and Team Gai believe that the two shinobi
fought them with a simple Henge (transformation), but it’d have to be a
pretty high level jutsu in order to pull off the Uchiha clan’s
exclusive fire style jutsu. Kisame and Itachi had to donate thirty
percent of their chakra in order to create the clones, and while this
may have bought them some time, the clones weren’t able to be as
effective as they could have been. The two return their focus to the
extraction of Shukaku from Gaara. The Leader congratulates the two on
delaying the teams and sends Zetsu to dispose of the bodies, but Sasori
is the one in a sour mood since the bodies needed for Shouten no Jutsu
(Shape Shifting Technique) were his subordinates.
Chiyo
concludes that Akatsuki’s delaying of the teams is to allow them more
time to extract the Bijuu (tailed beast) from Gaara and create another
Jinchuuriki. Even though the power of a Bijuu is nearly uncontrollable,
people have gone through endless means to use them for their own
purposes. This was done by sealing the Bijuu in humans so its power
could be suppressed. Once the Bijuu is extracted, the host will die,
just like the other two Jinchuuriki from Suna apart from Gaara. Chiyo
takes note of all of this and sends a messenger bird back to Suna.
Sakura is moved to tears by this, but Naruto keeps that ever confident
grin on his face and assures her that everything’s going to be all
right.
Ebizou gets the message and word of it spread quickly. It
makes sense to the others that Yuura was a spy because Suna’s defenses
wouldn’t have been so easily penetrated otherwise. And besides, who
really suspects a captain of being a spy? Anyway, none of this matters
because Chiyo never mentioned if Gaara would be coming back or not. If
the other nations found out that not only was Suna’s Kazekage is
missing, but that one of the enemies they were fighting was Akasuna no
Sasori (Sasori of the Red Sands), great shame would be brought upon
Suna. Therefore, they should elect a new Kazekage, but this causes a
huge argument amongst everyone else who feels that it’s too soon to
even consider Gaara being replaced. However, some feel that it’d be
better to replace Gaara because of his deadly abilities and how he
could lose it at any given moment. Besides, most of the villagers who
know the truth about Gaara don’t hold high hopes for him anyway.
The
elder who is speaking now is cut off when Kankuro seizes him by his
robe and lashes at him for insulting Gaara in such a way, but he’s
quickly stopped. It’s easy to understand Kankuro’s anger, but there is
some validity to what everyone is saying about Gaara since a situation
like this has happened before. When the Third Kazekage was kidnapped,
various things began to happen: no one was that focused on finding his
body and many didn’t want to believe that their strongest shinobi could
be killed. Therefore, nothing like this must happen again. This would
explain the need for border patrols. The reason for Temari being
selected over Kankuro is because he was poisoned.
The Akatsuki
Leader has Itachi tell the others who he faced, and Sasori is surprised
when he hears that Chiyo, his own grandmother, was one of them.
Elsewhere, Temari and four other shinobi arrive at some unnamed location and will each take twenty four hour shifts guarding it.
The
battle has taken its toll on Naruto (who isn’t used to using Oodama
Rasengan yet) and Gai (who exhausted his strength using Asu Kujaku).
This isn’t helped when Gai runs into a tree branch and crashes. Both
teams, in their respective locations, decide to take a break since it
would be easier to travel when they are at full strength. They’ll need
to be at their best if there’s the possibility that they’ll be battling
actual Akatsuki members later on.
Under the light of a full moon, Zetsu disposes of the two bodies by consuming them.
