Chapter 91 Chiyo's Reaction (First Update)

The land of rain.

The main base of Sunagakure.

Chiyo stared at the map before her, lost in thought.

Sunagakure is now fighting against Amegakure and Konoha simultaneously.

However, the main force was concentrated on the battlefield against Amegakure.

The Third Kazekage's plan was to first eliminate the weaker Amegakure before dealing with Konoha.

I just didn't expect Hanzo's poison to be so potent, which is why it's dragged on until now.

Fortunately, Sunagakure has many ninjas.

She believed that if they persisted, it would lead to the downfall of Amegakure.

Just then, a short man walked in.

"Ebizo".

Chiyo turned to look at him and asked, "What brings you here?"

Ebizo is her younger brother.

Both of them served as advisors to the Kazekage of Sunagakure and enjoyed the deep trust of the Third Kazekage.

"I just received a message."

Ebizo said with a heavy expression.

Is this bad news?

Chiyo noticed his expression. "Just say it."

"Grit was captured, and the puppeteer unit was almost completely wiped out, with only one ninja squad escaping back."

Ebizo looked at Chiyo and spoke slowly.

Reki was Chiyo's son.

The ninja squad that escaped was on another mission and was not at that base.

When they returned, Tsunade, Sakumo Hatake, and the others had already left, leaving behind only a mess.

In their shock, they returned to Sunagakure that very night.

Chiyo was startled upon hearing this and instinctively took a step back.

Ebizo quickly stepped forward and supported her.

"You—are you telling the truth?"

Chiyo forced herself to calm down and asked.

"It's Tsunade."

Ebizo nodded and said, "She lured Reki and the others into an ambush, and they were eventually captured by her and Sakumo Hatake."

"I see."

Chiyo instinctively pressed her forehead, feeling dizzy.

"Tsunade and Sakumo Hatake, they were already famous, especially the latter, who was very strong. It's not unfair that they lost to them."

""

Ebizo comforted them, saying, "Even if Lord Kazekage finds out, he won't blame them."

"Um."

Chiyo responded.

"And Gravel and the others were just captured."

Ebizo continued, "The most urgent task is to get them out."

"If we were to cease hostilities and negotiate with Konoha, not only would I be unwilling, but the Kazekage would also not agree."

Chiyo said in a deep voice.

The Third Kazekage is hailed as the strongest Kazekage.

He is powerful and ambitious.

It is absolutely impossible for Sunagakure to withdraw after fighting for so long without gaining anything.

Moreover, the other ninjas were unwilling.

the reason is simple.

The environment of Sunagakure is too harsh, with desert everywhere.

Since its establishment, it has always coveted the Land of Fire and Konoha Village.

In fact, this is also true in the original work.

During several Shinobi World Wars, Sunagakure always targeted Konoha.

He even launched the Konoha Crush plan under Orochimaru's instigation.

Ultimately, the reason is the poor environment; Sunagakure Village is too poor.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was forced to become a gold miner, panning for gold in the desert every day to sell and keep Sunagakure running.

"Then let's fight!"

Ebizo said decisively, "I'll deal with Amegakure. You go deal with Konoha and show them your poison!"

"good!"

Chiyo's spirits lifted, and she said, "Konoha Village definitely can't cure my poison. We can then make them use Gravel as an exchange."

Although Tsunade was more famous than Chiyo in the original work, Chiyo's fame far surpasses Tsunade's at this stage.

If Natsuki hadn't produced one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Tsunade's fame would still be limited to Konoha Village.

Furthermore, Chiyo was the same age as Hiruzen Sarutobi and was Tsunade's senior.

She naturally didn't believe that a junior could break her poison, and she didn't even think that Tsunade's medical ninjutsu was stronger than hers.

Seeing this, Ebizo felt somewhat relieved.

He was worried that Reki's arrest would affect Chiyo.

Currently, Chiyo is still maintaining a strong mindset and has not been discouraged by the situation.

"I will return to Sunagakure immediately to discuss this matter with the Kazekage."

Ebizo nodded slightly and said.

Dividing our forces into two groups and intensifying our efforts against Konoha Village is no easy task.

Not only do we need to mobilize more ninjas, but we also need more supplies.

It will be difficult to get it done in a short time.

Konoha Village in the Land of Fire.

"Hahaha! I, Nawaki, am finally back!"

Rope Tree laughed heartily.

Having spent half a month in the Land of Rain, enduring the rain for just as long, he could no longer bear it.

Furthermore, having made a great contribution this time, he naturally couldn't control his arrogance.

Tsunade glanced at him, smiled, and said nothing.

She was in a good mood when she returned to Konoha Village after half a month, so she didn't bother to correct Nawaki's unruly behavior.

"Sakumo, I'll trouble you to go and report the situation of this mission to the teacher."

Tsunade said casually.

Normally, either she or Sakumo Hatake could go.

Moreover, going there would be a great opportunity to make a name for oneself in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But she didn't care about any credit, so she was too lazy to compete for it.

"The key to the success of this mission lies with your team; you are the most suitable candidates."

Sakumo Hatake shook his head and said, "I don't know how you defeated the Gravel Squad either. I can't answer that if the Hokage asks."

Tsunade didn't care about credit, and neither did he.

He is actually very similar to the samurai of the Land of Iron, strictly adhering to the principles of ninjas, not seeking credit, but only completing the mission perfectly.

Perhaps that's why he committed suicide after the mission failed.

Natsuki thought to himself that such a personality was really not suitable to be Hokage.

"This is really troublesome."

Tsunade sighed inwardly and said, "Then I'll go see my teacher."

"Should we go see them too?"

Xia Mu asked.

"You've done a great job this time. Come with me so we can ask the teacher for a reward."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Let's go."

"Walk!"

Rope Tree said excitedly.

This was the first time he had made such a great contribution, and he was really looking forward to what kind of reward he would receive.

In comparison, Yakushi Nonou is relatively quiet.

The group arrived at the Hokage's office.

"You're back?"

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw them, he said with a big smile, "Your mission this time has given me a big surprise."

He sent Tsunade to repel the Sunagakure puppeteers, but the outcome far exceeded his expectations.

They not only wiped out the Sunagakure puppeteers, but also captured Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law.

The two of them can be considered high-ranking members of Sunagakure.

If he doesn't die, he might become a Kazekage advisor after Chiyo and Ebizo retire.

"The reason this mission achieved so many results is mainly due to Xia Mu."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "Nawaki and Nonou also performed well."

Upon hearing this, Rope Tree immediately puffed out his chest, looking quite smug.

Tsunade sighed and tapped his head.

"I am well aware of your contributions. Just tell me what you want."

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said.

"I don't know what kind of reward I should ask for."

Rope Tree scratched his head and said.

As the grandson of Hashirama Senju, and with Mito Uzumaki still alive, he could have whatever he wanted.

They have everything: ninja tools, ninjutsu, and money.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and realized that he really didn't know what reward to give Nawaki.

Not only the rope tree, but also the summer tree.

He had even made Xia Mu a contractor of the ape clan before.

What else can we give now?

Hiruzen Sarutobi is most skilled in the Five Elements Ninjutsu and composite Ninjutsu.

The so-called composite ninjutsu refers to the combination of two or more ninjutsu techniques.

For example, the Composite Ninja Art: Earth Dragon Flame Flow is a combination of Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique and Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique.

It's somewhat similar to a bloodline limit, but it's not a bloodline limit.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Natsuki's talent lay not in learning ninjutsu, but in creating his own.

Rope Tree can learn it, but he hasn't even finished learning Water Release techniques yet.

"Then I'll remember that for now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't think about it anymore. "Come find me again when you have the reward you want."

"I want to learn some illusion magic."

Xia Mu thought for a moment and then said.

"It's no big deal, you can just have Tsunade give it to you directly."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said nonchalantly.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Xia Mu immediately responded.

"Is there anything else?"

Tsunade yawned and asked.

After fighting for half a month and traveling for two days, she was exhausted both physically and mentally and just wanted to go back and lie down.

"There is something."

Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored her attitude and said, "At the end of the month, I plan to hold a Chunin Exam. You can participate."

Rope Tree's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.

He was willing to do so many low-level missions in the past just so he could participate in the Chunin Exams.

Moreover, Chunin are much more prestigious than Genin, and he had long wanted to give up being a Genin!

"We will participate then."

Tsunade nodded and said.

Firstly, because Natsuki, Nawaki, and Yakushi Nonou are already strong enough.

Secondly, one can gain more benefits after being promoted to Chunin.

For example, taking on more challenging tasks and receiving higher rewards.

In the original work, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha's perennial status as genin was truly an accident.

The joint Chunin Exams between Sunagakure and Konoha, in particular, were utterly absurd.

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be that difficult.

Afterwards, Sunagakure held another joint Chunin Exam.

The difficulty of this joint Chunin Exam was normal. Hyuga Neji was promoted to Jonin, and Haruno Sakura and others were promoted to Chunin.

Moreover, joint Chunin are few and far between; most are Chunin Exams held within ninja villages.

This is undoubtedly the Chunin Exams held within Konoha Village.

After all, it was during the Second Shinobi World War, and other ninja villages didn't dare to come to Konoha.

Especially Sunagakure and Amegakure.

After the matter was concluded, the group left the Hokage's office.

Yakushi Nono and Nawaki went back first.

Natsuki followed Tsunade to the Hokage Building's ninjutsu storage room and selected five control-type ninjutsu.

After that, he returned to the Konoha Orphanage.

As soon as he returned to his room, Xia Mu used the Star Chart Magic: Puppet Possession.

In an instant, five puppets appeared in front of him.

These five dolls, just like the figurines from his previous life, were no longer than the palm of his hand, and were extremely tiny.

Xia Mu examined them closely and discovered that these five dolls were purely inanimate objects, their bodies empty shells.

With a thought, he infused his soul into it.

In an instant, he felt that he shared a vision with the five puppets and was able to control them.

Xia Mu seemed to be deep in thought.

He felt that the five puppets could also be used for infiltration and reconnaissance.
