Right after Ning Feng left, the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure were still standing there in complete disarray.
Especially Granny Chiyo and the others. The anger in their eyes was so intense it almost seemed to burn.
When had Sunagakure ever suffered such humiliation!?
A single ninja had stormed into their village and, relying solely on his own strength, abducted the Fourth Kazekage, the supreme commander of the entire village!
This… this level of strength was simply terrifying!
More importantly—
How old was Uchiha Feng this year!?
And yet he had already reached such a monstrous level!
Thinking about the words Ning Feng left behind before departing, Chiyo and the others were furious, practically exploding with rage. They wished they could chop him into ten thousand pieces.
But the moment they remembered Ning Feng's terrifying power, their anger was replaced by hesitation.
Meanwhile.
Ning Feng glanced casually behind him. Seeing that no Sunagakure ninjas were chasing after him, a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.
Under normal circumstances, the Sunagakure ninjas would have pursued relentlessly.
But now, it seemed they had been completely intimidated by his overwhelming strength.
Then again, it made sense.
Anyone who had just witnessed multiple terrifying Susanoo appearing simultaneously would feel despair.
Not to mention that with a single slash, he had wiped out countless Sunagakure ninjas.
The shock and destructive force he had displayed were things the Sunagakure ninjas had never experienced before.
Their despair was only natural.
"W-Who exactly are you!?"
"Across the entire ninja world, there are only a handful of people capable of taking away the Kazekage while surrounded by Sunagakure's forces!"
At that moment, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa suddenly spoke.
His eyes were filled with deep fear and caution.
"I'm not anyone special."
"I'm simply Uchiha Feng."
Ning Feng shrugged lightly.
"To be honest, I only came today to invite the Fourth Kazekage to visit our Rain Village."
"And while you're there, you can also make a small contribution to our village's finances."
"Visit…?"
Rasa frowned and attempted to stand up.
But Ning Feng easily restrained him with one hand, making it impossible for him to move.
Only now did Rasa truly realize something.
Trying to escape under Uchiha Feng's watch was utterly impossible.
"Yes."
"A visit."
"When you arrive at the Rain Village, you'll be responsible for producing Gold Dust day and night."
"You'll help increase our Rain Village's financial income."
"Of course, you can refuse."
"But if that happens…"
"I'm afraid your Sunagakure—and your son Gaara—may not remain safe."
Ning Feng spoke calmly.
His reason for capturing Rasa was simple: boost Rain Village's finances.
If Rasa refused to cooperate, this entire trip would have been pointless.
Naturally, he had to apply a little pressure.
This wasn't cruelty.
It was simply necessary for the future of Rain Village—and for his own ambitions.
"You…!"
Rasa was furious and wanted to lash out.
But remembering Ning Feng's terrifying strength, he forced himself to swallow his anger.
Just then—
Ning Feng suddenly frowned slightly.
The reason was simple.
A group of elite Sunagakure ninjas were secretly following him from a distance.
Clearly, they hadn't completely given up on rescuing their Kazekage.
Leading them—
Was none other than Granny Chiyo.
However, something puzzled Ning Feng.
Although Chiyo had led the pursuit, the killing intent coming from her was extremely faint.
It was obvious she was plotting something else.
Just as Ning Feng was considering whether to wipe out the pursuing forces—
Chiyo suddenly waved her hand and gave the attack order.
The elite Sunagakure ninjas rushed forward immediately, preparing to reclaim their Kazekage.
But before they could even strike—
Sharp kunai suddenly appeared behind them.
In the next moment, those elite ninjas fell one after another.
The person who had attacked them—
Was Chiyo herself.
After finishing them off, Chiyo immediately turned around and began heading back toward Sunagakure.
Along the way, she even stabbed herself several times with a kunai, making it look as though she had been severely injured.
Seeing this scene, Ning Feng finally understood everything.
So that was it.
Chiyo intended to use the incident of the Fourth Kazekage being abducted as political capital to elevate herself to the position of Fifth Kazekage.
In the original story, Chiyo had always been portrayed as a righteous figure.
But Ning Feng hadn't expected her to possess such deep political cunning—on par with Hiruzen Sarutobi.
But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
Someone who had survived multiple ninja wars and competed against figures like Hiruzen would naturally possess extraordinary scheming ability.
However—
This worked perfectly for Ning Feng.
If Chiyo became the new Kazekage, then extracting benefits from Sunagakure in the future would become extremely easy.
Thinking of this, the Mangekyō Sharingan in Ning Feng's eyes flashed with a sinister light.
The Fourth Kazekage, who had been preparing to resist, instantly lost consciousness.
Ning Feng then sealed Rasa inside a storage scroll.
In the next moment—
His figure flashed.
He appeared directly in front of Chiyo.
At this moment, Chiyo was covered in blood from the wounds she had inflicted on herself.
She looked extremely miserable.
She had been thinking about how to return to Sunagakure and win the trust of the villagers to secure her position as the Fifth Kazekage.
Suddenly—
A powerful sense of danger surged through her.
Startled, Chiyo slowly raised her head.
Only to see the very man who had terrified Sunagakure earlier—
Uchiha Feng.
Standing before her calmly with his hands behind his back.
"U-Uchiha Feng!?"
"You… you didn't leave!?"
Chiyo was shocked.
"I didn't expect someone to go to such lengths just to become the next Fifth Kazekage."
Ning Feng chuckled lightly.
Chiyo's expression instantly changed.
She subconsciously stepped back several steps.
Then suddenly, she seemed to realize something.
"If Lord Uchiha Feng knows everything…"
"Then your return must mean you have need of me."
"Please give your orders."
"As long as you help Chiyo become the Fifth Kazekage, I will satisfy any condition you desire."
Chiyo spoke decisively.
After a brief moment of shock, she immediately proposed cooperation with Ning Feng.
Her cunning and intelligence were clearly first-rate—
No less than Hiruzen Sarutobi himself.
