Yasuke (OC - The New Anbu Commander), though a civilian-born ninja, had risen through the ranks through hard work and talent. He was pragmatic, and he understood the implications of Rasa's death.

Rasa was dead — the thought was still unbelievable. His worst fears had materialized. But how had it happened?

He glanced at Baki, a silent acknowledgment passing between them.

Baki, driven by his ambition, had killed the Kazekage.

If Yasuke did nothing, Baki would likely become the Fifth Kazekage. As a neutral party, he'd be safe.

But if he acted—if he revealed Rasa's final orders and supported Elder Kosaka's claim—Sunagakure would erupt in civil war.

Perhaps the wisest course of action was to—conceal Rasa's dying wish.

But he was a ninja. Loyalty, duty—these weren't easily discarded.

How could he stand by and watch Rasa's legacy be tarnished, Sunagakure fall into the hands of a power-hungry warmonger?

Taking a deep breath, Yasuke stepped forward, revealing the Kazekage's seal. "Elder Chiyo! Before his death, the Fourth Kazekage entrusted me with this..."

Baki's teacup shattered on the floor.

His face contorted with rage, his hands gripping the edge of the table.

Everything had been going so smoothly. The Kazekage title was within his grasp. And now—Yasuke, with his—last-minute will and testament.

"That—damn Rasa! Even in death, he tries to undermine me! We were practically brothers! And he trusted—Yasuke?! That outsider?!"

Kankuro, watching Baki's outburst, asked, "So—what do we do? Give up?"

"Give up? It's too late for that!"

He'd already made a deal with the Akatsuki. And his own ambition—it couldn't be contained.

If he didn't act now, would he have to assassinate the Fifth Kazekage later? Even a fool could see the pattern.

And Sunagakure, still reeling from Rasa's death, was vulnerable. Even the Anbu, under Yasuke and the acting Kazekage, were—divided.

If he didn't seize this opportunity, once Kosaka Kaoru consolidated his power, it would be too late. Sunagakure, under a merchant's leadership, would lose its ninja spirit, becoming Konoha's puppet.

That—was unacceptable.

Baki's rage subsided, replaced by a chilling calm. "Summon the Thirty-Two. Tonight. At my residence."

Kankuro, seeing his resolve, nodded and left to relay the message.

That night, Baki's home was filled with the aroma of fine food and the lingering scent of expensive "Hard Konoha" cigarettes.

Baki sat at the head of the table, flanked by thirty-four members of the Thirty-Two, his most loyal supporters.

Clan elders, veteran ninja, promising young officers—all gathered here at his summons.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Baki raised his sake cup. "Among you are seasoned veterans and promising young ninja. But you all share one thing: you are true Suna ninja, with ambition in your hearts. You won't stand idly by and watch Sunagakure become Konoha's vassal."
