No one knew where this was coming from. They didn't expect Yami to use such harsh words and that too in front of the Kazekage and an elder of the village.

Kakashi put one hand on Yami's should and turned his face towards him and asked "Yami, what are you saying? What has gotten into you?"

'I expect something like this from Naruto's mouth but I never thought Yami would say this. Did I misjudge his emotions all these years?' Kakashi thought and expected to see sympathy or some kind of anger in Yami's eyes after what he just said but his eyes were cold as ever. There wasn't an ounce of emotion in it.

Yami pushed Kakashi's hand away gently and looked around. Seeing the shocked faces of his teammates and elder Chiyo, he said "I am not ranting about the hidden sand or expressing any kind of anger towards it. The other great villages have done something similar to this in the past few decades or maybe even worse. What I am trying to say is this is the kind of world we live in and the faster you accept it the better. Having naive thoughts of fairness and justice is an idiot's dream."

Elder Chiyo stood up in anger to scold Yami but she could not refute a single thing Yami said. She knew that Yami was right and she herself had her fair share of involvement in committing such heinous deeds from creating deadly poisons to sealing the one-tailed beast inside Gaara.

Just as Yami was about to say his final sentence and leave, Naruto walked in front of him and said "I will change it. If this is how the world has functioned for the past few decades then I will make sure that it changes in the coming decades when I become Hokage."

'I hope Naruto and Yami don't get into a debate or even a fight.' Sakura thought as she saw Naruto with his always confident and determined expression looking at Yami.

Yami just shrugged and said "Even if you do become Hokage and manage to turn the hidden leaf into a dream village like you want, what about the other villages?"

Kakashi and Guy expected Yami to make fun of Naruto's declaration of becoming Hokage but to the contrary, Yami easily accepted that.

As for Yami's question naruto didn't have any kind of answer and he could only stutter "I-I don't know that but I will try to do something."

Yami looked at Kakashi and said "I think we should leave now. The weather here is too unpredictable."

Elder Chiyo also stood up and said "He is right...we should not delay this any longer. As long as there is no sandstorm, we should cover as much distance as possible. According to what I understand from this map, it will take us 4-5 hours at maximum speed to reach there."

'The feral old lady suddenly became tame? Yami's words must have really stabbed her through.' Kakashi thought as he nodded. Everyone who was going on the mission was already there with their luggage.

Within the next 5 minutes, everyone started their journey from the hidden sand. Except for Karin and Neji, all the leaf shinobis took part in the mission. Since Sakura had already made the antidote, Karin only had to nurse them all back to full health with the help of the hidden sand doctors. From the hidden leaf, Gaara along with Temari and Elder Chiyo took part in the mission. Gaara didn't want Elder to take part but he knew that she wouldn't want to miss meeting her grandson even if it is as his enemy.

Luckily for the group, there was no sandstorm heading their way. Just an hour into the journey, Gaara suddenly shouted "Stop"

He and Elder Chiyo were at the forefront of the entire group since they knew the desert like the back of their hand.
