Hidden Sand Village is crazy, or...Chiyo is crazy.
The former is the conclusion reached by the Konoha command, and the latter is the conclusion reached by Third Kazekage.
"... I'm so stupid, really."
Chiyo raised her dull eyes and continued.
"I only knew that Shukaku was powerful and had no opponent in Desert; but I didn't expect that Konoha's White Fang would also appear there. When Toya and Yin left in the morning, they told me they would come back soon, and I would wait for them on the battlefield..."
Then she just whimpered, unable to form words.
Ebizo looked at his sister silently.
Speaking of which, Chiyo is really miserable. A husband is lost in early life, a son is lost in middle age, and a grandchild is lost in old age. On the way to compete with the miserable king, she can be said to be the best in the world, with Kakashi's momentum that no one can compete with her.
Toya Heyin's death was a big blow to her. She who was not yet forty years old seemed to have aged twenty years overnight.
"Sister, what should we do next?"
"Fight, fight Konoha at all costs!"
Chiyo's answer did not surprise Ebizo. And this is also true. Why does the Konoha command think Sunagakure is crazy?
Because Sunagakure is attacking Konoha Base at almost any cost, and is quite ready to fight to the death.
It took a village to fight, especially when Sunagakure itself had the advantage. With the strength of Konoha Base, it could only barely hold on. Even in a defensive posture, it was almost broken several times.
Both sides are fighting hard, and the number of casualties during this period has surpassed that of the past half year.
Even this large-scale battle with high casualties was called Akihabara Meat Grinder by later generations. It is also the most destructive and longest battle in Second Great Ninja War Land of Rivers Battlefield.
Throughout the history of Ninja, Akihabara Battle was one of the few battles fought by Hidden Sand Village over Konoha. It sounds very impressive, but it also brought about a serious consequence.
Orochimaru did this last time, no problem. After all, he was one of the frontline commanders and had no restrictions from above. Third Hokage, who was far away in the village, could only write a letter to stop his actions after the battle situation stabilized.
But Chiyo is different. Although she has a huge influence, Kazekage is sitting in Base. She cannot be as crazy as Orochimaru.
rich? Sorry, you really can't do whatever you want.
And you're not the only one Chiyo who lost his son and became a ninja. Who hasn't lost several relatives and friends?
These days, no one dares to say that he is a ninja without carrying a blood feud. When an important person dies, you just want revenge. Do you think you are Uchiha Clan?
Therefore, although Ebizo was not surprised by Chiyo's answer, it was also full of sadness. Base had already criticized it. Third Kazekage would stop this battle sooner or later.
Chiyo also knew Ebizo's worries, so he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about Third Kazekage. After Ninja World War this time... I will retire."
"Sister?!"
Chiyo waved his hand to indicate that he did not need to persuade him any further.
"Sunagakure has suffered such a big loss. Whether it is for the ninjas in the village or Daimyo there needs to be someone to take the blame. I am neither too big nor too small, just right. Third Kazekage also hopes that I will no longer be in power, and I have promised him. In exchange, he will fully support me this time."
Ebizo was silent for a moment, then nodded. "In that case, I'll retreat with you, sister. It's good to go fishing and spend some time with Scorpion when you have nothing to do."
At this time, in Base's temporary hospital, Sakumo was lying quietly on the hospital bed.
Although his whole body was wrapped in bandages, he still used his uninjured little finger to turn the pages of the book in front of him with difficulty.
"Hey hey hey."
Seeing the wonderful part, Sakumo let out a weird laugh, but it also pulled the wound, so he grinned in pain.
"Is it so beautiful?"
Uchiha Chen, who was sitting in front of the hospital bed cutting an apple, asked.
Sakumo sighed, and then said, "Although the writing style is still very immature, the content is very attractive, especially the detailed descriptions...
Let me tell you this, this is the most realistic book I have read in so many years. Jiraiya is really a genius. "
Uchiha Chen rolled his eyes and said, "It's obviously Xiao Huang Shu..."
"Chen, you are still young and don't understand this." Sakumo closed the book and said seriously, "Although this book is indeed very explicit, I can understand the hardships of the heroine Xiao Cang more through these details."
"... So is Jiraiya tutoring students, or is Land of Rain collecting materials?"
"Don't worry about these details. Art comes from life and is higher than life. Jiraiya In order to give readers a real experience, it is understandable to make mistakes occasionally."
Sakumo said matter-of-factly.
"And he wrote this novel just to practice his writing skills. After finishing this novel, he will prepare to write a new book... what will it be called..."
""Tale of the Gutsy Ninja"... that seems to be the name."
Uchiha Chen was also stunned. It turns out that writing pornographic books can also help you practice your writing skills? He really didn't expect that he would have such an experience before Jiraiya wrote "Tale of the Gutsy Ninja".
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Did Teacher Tsunade tell you when you can be discharged from the hospital?"
"I have to stay in bed for two more weeks." Sakumo sighed and said, "She also said that if I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair, I should use less of this secret technique."
Having said this, he glanced at Uchiha Chen again. "What I didn't expect is that you were able to escape completely when faced with Shukaku. If I had known, I wouldn't have been so anxious."
"... Just good luck."
Sakumo shook his head and said, "One time can be said to be luck. This is the third time you have faced Shukaku. When I am discharged from the hospital, we will find a place to have a good discussion."
He has been lying down for almost a month and can only rely on pornographic books to survive, so his hands are very itchy now, especially his right hand.
"Okay."
Uchiha Chen nodded, making progress the fastest by fighting with strong people.
"By the way, how is the battle situation now?"
"Not very optimistic. We can only temporarily block Sunagakure's attack."
Uchiha Chen thought for a while and continued, "And it will take some time for the village to support us, so teacher Orochimaru plans to give the remains of Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law to Chiyo in exchange for a period of truce.
Anyway, the information in their heads has been probed clearly by Interrogation Squad. "
Sakumo was silent for a moment. "I respect Toya and Yin very much, and it would be fine if they could be buried back to Sunagakure. But... will Third Kazekage agree?"
"You should agree." Uchiha Chen was also a little unsure.
"Now Sunagakure also needs time, but the truce is over, and it is estimated that there will be a more fierce battle."
After all, just knowing the news of the death was such a reaction. Uchiha Chen couldn't imagine how much stimulation Chiyo would be if he saw the body.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Chiyo is Uchiha Clan, it is estimated that it can be driven from One-Tomoe to Mangekyo Sharingan instantly.
"By the way, there is another thing worth noting." Uchiha Chen said suddenly.
"Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Stone Village have made a truce."
Sakumo thought for a while and said, "It should be that Eight-Tails suffered too much damage from his rampage, and the two villages are probably waiting for us to decide the outcome with Sunagakure."
Uchiha Chen nodded. Orochimaru and Tsunade said the same thing, but he still felt something was wrong. Although the fight was fierce, it is too early to tell the winner.
Moreover, a reckless man like Third Raikage is someone who will never compromise without getting benefits. No matter how you look at it, you feel...
It's a little too quiet!
