Baki led Uchiha En and the others into the Hidden Sand Village, arranging for Uchiha En and Kakashi to wait in the Kazekage Building conference room first.
Baki, meanwhile, rushed anxiously to the Kazekage Office to report to Rasa about Sasori.
"Knock, knock--" Rasa was in his office discussing the sealing of the Ichibi with Chiyo when a hurried knock came from outside the door.
Hearing the knock, Rasa and Chiyo stopped their discussion and allowed the person outside to enter.
After receiving Rasa's permission, Baki immediately pushed the door open and entered.
"Baki? You were quite fast! Has Uchiha En arrived?" Chiyo asked casually when she saw it was Baki.
"Yes, Lady Chiyo, Uchiha En and his people have arrived, but what I need to report is not about that, but about Third Kazekage-sama."
The Third Kazekage was Rasa's teacher, someone like a father figure to him. Hearing that Baki's report concerned the Third Kazekage, Rasa's expression became serious.
Chiyo also grew anxious upon hearing that the matter concerned the Third Kazekage and quickly urged him, "Baki, what is the intelligence? Speak quickly!"
Baki quickly told Rasa and Chiyo about Uchiha En's encounter with Sasori.
"Crack!" After hearing Baki's account, Rasa crushed the teacup in his hand.
"That damnable Sasori! I can't believe my teacher's disappearance was related to him. That bastard dared to turn my teacher into a Puppet!"
Chiyo, who was nearby, collapsed onto her chair. She hadn't expected her own grandson to be the culprit who killed the Third Kazekage.
Fortunately, Rasa still respected Chiyo greatly. Seeing Chiyo's expression, Rasa suppressed three parts of the fury in his heart.
Rasa took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then said to Chiyo, "Elder Chiyo, please don't worry yet. Perhaps this is a lie Uchiha En deliberately fabricated to sow discord between you and Sasori?"
Chiyo sighed upon hearing this. "Rasa, I haven't gone senile yet. Sasori is the only one in the entire Ninja World who can create Human Puppets. The truth must be exactly this, but we shouldn't publicize this matter. We should secretly send people to hunt down Sasori."
"It's not that this old woman cares about Face, but that it concerns the Face of the Hidden Sand Village."
"Elder Chiyo, please rest assured, I know what to do."
"Mm, I'll leave it to you to handle then! Uchiha En has arrived, go and receive him. I need a moment alone."
Rasa nodded upon hearing this and left the Kazekage Office with Baki.
"Baki, where are Uchiha En and the others?" Rasa asked.
"In the conference room. Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No need, I'll go myself! You've worked hard these past few days, go back and rest!" Rasa declined Baki's suggestion and walked toward the conference room alone.
Uchiha En and Kakashi had been sitting in the conference room for more than ten minutes, and no one from the Hidden Sand had come yet.
Kakashi, growing impatient from waiting, quietly complained to Uchiha En: "En, the Hidden Sand Village is too impolite. No one has come to receive us after so long; they don't seem like they're asking for help at all."
"Baki saw information regarding the Third Kazekage. Since it concerns the Kage of an entire Village, it's a miracle the Hidden Sand Village leadership hasn't fallen into chaos. You should be more understanding."
Kakashi looked at Uchiha En as if he were an alien after hearing his words: "En, since when were you so considerate?"
Of course, Uchiha En wouldn't tell Kakashi that the third kazekages puppet was currently in Asana's hands. He was just covering for Asana and simply made up an excuse.
A few more minutes passed, and Rasa pushed the door open and walked in: "Gentlemen, I apologize for the long wait!" As soon as Luo Fan entered, he immediately offered his apologies to Uchiha En and Kakashi.
"It's fine, don't worry about it." Uchiha En waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.
Seeing that Uchiha En was not angry, Rasa was completely relieved. After the two chatted for a few moments, Rasa got straight to the point and began discussing the sealing of the Ichibi with Uchiha En.
From Rasa's words, Uchiha En understood why the Hidden Sand had come to Konoha seeking aid.
