Traveling swiftly day and night, Sasuke and the others soon reached Sunagakure. The moment they arrived, Sakura went ahead to treat Kankuro, who had been poisoned while pursuing the enemy, while an old woman with graying hair charged straight at Kakashi.
"Lady Chiyo!"
Baki, standing behind Chiyo, had not expected her to react so strongly upon seeing Kakashi and immediately called out. After all, the person standing in front of Kakashi was Sasuke Uchiha!
In an instant, a sharp sword rested against Granny Chiyo's neck, and Sasuke fixed his Three-Tomoe Sharingan on her.
"Konoha and Sunagakure are allies. We came here to help you. If your people attack ours, we will fight back."
This boy is fast!
Though she was a powerful Puppeteer, Chiyo was no slouch at taijutsu either. Her attack had only been a test, but seeing Sasuke counter her in an instant gave her a new understanding of his strength.
"Kakashi is the son of the White Fang of the Leaf, not the White Fang himself. I hope you understand the situation and work with us to resolve it."
Seeing that Chiyo had calmed down, Sasuke withdrew his sword. Although she had retired, she was still one of Sunagakure's strongest fighters, and Sasuke had intelligence on her as well.
"You really have no respect for your elders, boy. I was only pretending to be senile."
Seeing that Sasuke even knew her background so thoroughly, Chiyo could only laugh it off. At the same time, her opinion of Konoha rose another notch.
"Sakura, you're in charge of treating Kankuro. It looks like the enemy is an expert with poisons. Baki, tell me what you know about the two Akatsuki members who attacked Gaara."
Once he was certain he had the situation under control, Sasuke immediately issued his orders.
