Chapter 1031

The signals of the Fourth Kazekage's Magnet Release chakra and others — the Iwa-nin monitoring squad immediately handed this intelligence to the Tsuchikage. Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, had long held a deep grudge against Young Yuanzi, and there were plenty of conflicts with the Land of Wind as well. On top of that, the recent attack incident in Konoha — especially one involving a Tailed Beast — made the Tsuchikage wary.

Normally patrolling, catching smugglers and spies and the like was fine, but going up against Young Yuanzi, or a Tailed Beast, or the Fourth Kazekage would be a meaningless act of throwing their lives away. So to immediately ascertain the situation,

After one glance, Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, immediately recognized the two leading the Sand-nin village team — the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the Elder Council's Chiyo. If it was these two people,
