Hatake White Fang had killed her child, the various poisons she had concocted were continually neutralized by Tsunade, and they had always been suppressed by Konoha. It would be strange indeed if Granny Chiyo could still feel grateful toward Konoha.
Even though she hated Konoha to the core, Granny Chiyo had no choice but to step forward now and resolve this issue on Sunagakure's behalf.
If Konoha joined the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth's front, it might very well trigger a war.
Sunagakure was already struggling to face even one village. Against the combined forces of three villages, they basically did not stand the slightest chance.
If another war broke out and further weakened the entire village, even the country itself, Sunagakure would likely soon fall from its place among the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Granny Chiyo could not afford not to be anxious.
No matter how humiliating it was, she could only force herself to do it.
"Should we politely decline, then?"
Uchiha Diqin looked at Ronglin, unsure what choice he would make.
On the surface, Ronglin should refuse. Otherwise, why would he get involved in this?
But she could not speak too absolutely. If Uchiha Diqin flatly declared that Ronglin would refuse, only for him to suddenly change his mind and agree, she would be left rather embarrassed.
"There's no need. If she wants to come, let her come. If I'm not mistaken, that old woman Chiyo is already halfway here, heading for Konoha."
"So soon?"
Her beautiful eyes widened. Chiyo's actions had completely exceeded Uchiha Diqin's expectations. In her view, Chiyo should have waited until Konoha agreed before setting out.
Yet they had only just received the message here, while the other party was already on the road. What was that supposed to mean?
