Chiyo believes that Rasa's death was likely caused by insiders, because Rasa had invested a large amount of money in the so-called secret base in the Central District that was supposedly working with Iwagakure.
It's a bottomless pit, a real money-devouring beast.
She only learned in the last few days that a large amount of funds had been transferred without her knowledge, supposedly used for a so-called base, for the purpose of developing military weapons and such...
Can you believe it?
Can't believe it at all.
Who knows what secrets it holds?
Now that Oyero has inherited Rasa's political legacy, he has naturally become a thorn in Chiyo's side, while Yekura is not even in her consideration.
Therefore, Chiyo's plan was to deal with Oyero and eliminate Yokura.
Now that this opportunity is right in front of us, we must seize it.
We can't let this opportunity go to waste.
"rule.?"
"Why are there so many rules?"
Upon hearing this, Oyero sneered disdainfully, "Rules have never been constraints, and besides, what right do you, an old man, have to point fingers here?"
Did I offend Chiyo, the advisor?
No worries, he doesn't care anymore.
As for Oyero, he finally understood that Chiyo was clearly trying to mess with him, so there was no need to be subservient, especially since he didn't take the old man seriously anyway.
"Oyero, you're really arrogant and don't know how to respect your seniors." Unlike his sister, Ebizo didn't have such a fiery temper, but even he couldn't hold back now.
Oyeiro is just too arrogant and conceited.
As for Ye Cang, she felt it was pointless. Since they had already torn off all pretenses, they should fight instead of remaining so submissive.
You scare me?
What's there to be afraid of? There's absolutely no need to be afraid.
"Why say so much? I know what you're thinking. Since you already know, why pretend like this?"
Yekura said that if it's time to fight, then fight; there's no need to drag it out any longer.
"Ye Cang, you have even more problems. You're definitely involved in the death of Feng Ying!" Upon hearing this, Oyero's anger surged instantly, and he immediately turned his anger towards Ye Cang.
"What does the death of the Wind Shadow have to do with me?"
Ye Cang stared at Oyero expressionlessly, her tone gradually turning cold. She had come with hostility in mind, so naturally she wouldn't give him a friendly look.
Besides, they're all trying to get back at me. Do they really think I'm easy to deal with?
I've spent so much money these past few days.
Do you think I'm scared?
"There's none?"
Oyero countered with a question.
He didn't believe Yekura was without problems, especially since her problems were quite obvious. Based on the information he had, Yekura was hiding far too many secrets.
Based on this, Oyero directly questioned Chiyo, and his attitude was quite bad; he was practically pointing his finger at her and cursing her.
"Old hag Chiyo, this woman has more problems than problems. Why are you staring at me? Yekura is the one with the biggest problems. You're not watching her, you're only staring at me. Are you out of your mind?"
Damn old woman, who else are you staring at besides me?
You didn't know that Yekura has been trying to win over the village's lower-ranking ninjas these past few days, did you? He's been paying them real money, so don't tell me you can't explain it.
Now I'm really curious, where did she get so much money?
Chiyo certainly understood Oyero's question, but she didn't care about it. Yekura was indeed a threat, but not a big one, and the source of the funds was unknown.
Adding to the suspicion surrounding Kazekage's death, Yekura had already been sentenced to death by her. However, Oyero posed too great a threat, so Chiyo would definitely deal with him first if she wanted to get rid of him.
why?
Because of the gun barrel.
Oyero controlled the Northern Legion, whose First Battalion consisted of his loyal followers. In addition, his brother Fayero commanded an armed force of about five hundred men, who were basically the elite of the elite.
Rasa invested too much money in this so-called base. If anything went wrong, wouldn't everyone lose everything? To ensure that nothing happened, he formed an elite ninja army of nearly 500 people, which shows how much Rasa valued it.
Because the Land of Birds is full of secrets, Rasa has also deployed an elite ninja army there, and these people are all under the command of Feyero. How could Chiyo not be worried?
Will the Northern Legion completely side with Oiero?
I don't know.
However, the First Battalion, consisting of 500 ninja soldiers under the command of Feiyero, would inevitably turn against him completely. Therefore, Chiyo absolutely could not allow such a ninja army of more than a thousand people to become an uncontrollable factor, or even to become a force in the political struggle, or even to become Feiyero's force. This could not be allowed.
"It is now certain that you all have problems, but the difference lies in whose problem is greater. Currently, you are all highly suspected of the death of Fengying. As an advisor, I am removing you from the list of candidates and ordering you to undergo investigation."
Chiyo decided to be straightforward and lay the issue out in the open: either they accept the investigation, or they betray the party.
Chapter 315 Support me, and you'll have a good life!
Once they betray us, they will become enemies of Sunagakure. When she arrived, she had already assembled the Quick Response Force, the village's secret armed force.
Rumors are rampant in the village, and people are filled with anxiety. Most of the members of the secret service are either trying to protect themselves or just putting on a show; in short, they are not very effective.
The others were further divided into two factions by the candidate election: the Yekura faction and the Oyero faction. The two sides were full of contradictions and it was almost impossible for them to cooperate.
Therefore, Chiyo is very confident that she can suppress Oyero and Yekura, so what is this wave?
The advantage is in my hands, so let's just get started.
Chiyo was confident, but were Oyero and Yekura not confident? No, they were confident too, so as soon as Chiyo said that, the two of them tacitly distanced themselves from each other.
In an instant, the situation became a three-way division.
Yekura's side has the greatest momentum and many supporters, but currently there are obviously not many core members, or rather, relatively few Jonin supporters, but this is not a problem.
The dark areas are key; after spending so much money, it's time to reap the rewards.
Besides, don't be fooled by the fact that Oyero has about a hundred people on his side.
But Yekura wasn't afraid at all.
She has confidence in herself.
Then there's Orochimaru, that venomous snake, and the hidden Konoha spies—these are the best and most trusted forces in my hands.
Although it was frustrating, Yecang knew very well that at this stage, if she didn't trust the people of Konoha, there was no hope, especially since she had no other choice.
Aside from choosing a path that leads nowhere, what other options are there?
It's gone, really gone.
"Ye Cang, you're quite something. You've managed to gather so many people in just a few days. It seems like you've been planning this for a long time."
Oyero grew angrier the more he looked. How could this wretched woman have so many supporters? And where did the money come from? I don't even have that much money. Could it be that Lord Kazekage...?
Although I am reluctant to have this suspicion, sometimes I have no choice but to. Apart from this possibility, are there any other possibilities?
Chiyo was equally shocked. She had thought that although Yekura had some supporters, there wouldn't be many, but now it seemed that there were quite a few.
The key point is that the other side also has people, a bunch of old subordinates and followers, all of whom were Pakura's old subordinates when they fought against Kirigakure.
Those who survived the battlefield were all elites who had seen blood and were determined.
Although rapid reaction forces are secretive armed forces, when it comes to engaging elite troops tempered in battle...
The odds of winning are hard to say, but fortunately Chiyo knows the key.
Once the ringleader is dealt with, everything will be fine.
"Premeditated?"
Yekura vehemently denied it, then pinned the blame on Oyero and Chiyo, saying, "It wasn't me who plotted it, it was you and the two old advisors."
Why is it me?
It wasn't me at all, it was you all.
The ones who really cause trouble are never me, but you guys.
You are the ones who ruined the village, and I am the hero who set things right and saved the village.
"Enough with the nonsense. Now that you're going to oppose me, I won't hold back." Seeing this, Oyero knew that reasoning wouldn't work, so he simply decided to start a fight.
Why waste so much breath?
Now is the time for an armed coup.
The normal approach is no longer feasible; there is only one path left to take.
A coup d'état to seize power—Kohaku has already set an example for the entire ninja world; even a marginalized ninja clan like the Uchiha could ultimately succeed…
Why can't I do it?
I am a follower of the Fourth Kazekage, a staunch confidant of his, and have already taken over his political power. Therefore, I have inherited his legacy and am the leader representing the Fourth Kazekage's faction.
If the Fourth Kazekage's subordinates don't support me, who else can they support?
His child is still young, how can he support him?
Only I am the most suitable.
Otherwise, how would Yashamaru have gotten on board?
That's why Oyero was so confident that he could definitely succeed, not fail; the only ones who would fail were people like Yokura and Chiyo...
I will succeed!
"You young people are really lawless." Chiyo stretched her wrist, and the scroll appeared in her hand.
Are we really going to fight?
Okay, I'll just suppress them directly.
"Old woman, how arrogant!"
Oyero naturally saw it, but he wasn't afraid of the other side at all. Instead, he ordered Yashamaru: "Yashamaru, lead the Anbu to suppress the rebellion."
