Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 181 Tsunade has really lost weight!

"This is a puppet!"

Seeing that Chiga's scroll contained a puppet, the three of them stepped forward to examine it.

Because the Third Kazekage was transformed into a human puppet by Sasori of the Red Sand, his appearance changed, and for a moment Tsunade and the other two did not recognize him.

They were just observing out of curiosity.

"Hmm, this is the extremely valuable corpse you were talking about?"

"His face looks familiar; I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

Tsunade asked in confusion. She couldn't see anything wrong, but the corpse seemed somewhat familiar.

Hatake Sakumo, who had already figured something out, suddenly showed a look of shock on his calm face and asked, "This...this is the Third Kazekage?!"

"What about you?"

"Is this true, Chiga?"

Tsunade and Nara Shikaku also gasped in surprise and looked at Chiga, seemingly wanting confirmation from him.

Amidst the incredulous gazes of the three, Chiga nodded and said, "Yes, this is the Third Kazekage who mysteriously disappeared!"

"After destroying the fourth stronghold, we were attacked by Sasori of the Red Sand and an unknown ninja."

"During my battle with Sasori of the Red Sand, he produced this human puppet and confessed that he had killed the Third Kazekage."

"As you know, Sasori of the Red Sand has been killed by me, and that unknown ninja has self-destructed."

Chiga briefly explained the information, then feigned lingering fear and said:

"Don't underestimate this puppet. It has retained its bloodline limit from its previous life. I had to expend a lot of effort to defeat it!"

"."

Tsunade and Sakumo Hatake looked at Chiga speechlessly. What strength!

Even for the two of them, facing Sasori of the Red Sand, who possessed the human puppet of the Third Kazekage, it was hard to say whether they could win for sure.

And Chiga just casually said that he only spent a lot of effort?

After recovering from her shock, Tsunade said with a cold laugh, "Heh, if this information gets to Sunagakure, do you think the Sand Village will kill Chiyo before even engaging us in our final battle?"

At that moment, she understood the value of the human puppet that Qianhe had brought back.

If this human puppet is placed in Sunagakure, the Land of Wind will be thrown into chaos before the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind even have a decisive battle.

At this moment, Nara Shikaku shook his head and said to Tsunade, "I'm afraid not. If we give this information to the Sand Village without evidence, they will only think it's a scheme of ours."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade glared at Nara Shikaku with displeasure and said, "Isn't this puppet proof enough? To be able to transform the Third Kazekage into a puppet while still retaining his bloodline limit—that's not a method Konoha ninja would use!"

"Only the Sand Village has this capability; one could even suspect that Sasori of the Red Sand killed the Third Kazekage at Chiyo's behest!"

Sakumo Hatake asked, "Commander Tsunade, are you sure you want to send this human puppet to the Sand Village as evidence?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense.

The Third Kazekage has already been turned into a human puppet. If this were given to the Sand Village, they could say that the Third Kazekage was killed by his own people.

The Sand Village ninja definitely believed it, since human puppets are something that can't be faked, and only their Sand Village could make them.

The chaos will last for a while, and Chiyo may be implicated, but what will happen after that?

After that, Sunagakure obtained a human puppet of unimaginable value. If any Jonin-level puppeteer were to use it, it might be able to achieve Kage-level combat power.

This is definitely not what Konoha wants to see.

"What should we do then? Is this human puppet only good for research?"

"That's how it is at the moment."

Since the puppet didn't change the current situation, Tsunade stopped worrying about it and just stared at the sand table in front of her, lost in thought.

Because Chiga killed Sasori of the Red Sand, the entire war situation between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire changed dramatically.

Chiyo, the commander of the Sand Village, has been blinded by hatred and no longer considers strategic planning. She is concentrating all her forces and seems poised to wage a large-scale war against Konoha.

After thinking about it, Tsunade also seemed to feel that if they dragged it out any longer, Konoha would always be at a disadvantage. After all, Konoha was currently fighting on two fronts, and at the same time, it had to spare troops to defend against the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water.

There are definitely not enough manpower. If we can end this battle and deploy the remaining troops to the other three fronts, we can relieve the pressure on Konoha.

"Hey, you with the bun hairstyle, tell me how many troops we have right now."

"Is it possible to fight the Sand Ninja head-on?"

"Tsunade asked."

Nara Shikaku was silent for a moment before saying, "Currently, we have about 2500 ninja on this front, but the Sand Village has about 4500."

"With a difference of two thousand ninjas, a direct confrontation would be very difficult!"

Currently, Konoha has no shortage of top-tier ninjas, but the forces deployed on this front are limited.

"Regarding the disparity in troop strength, I'll have the three generations of old men send another batch!"

"Tsunade said."

"That shouldn't be a big problem!"

Nara Shikaku said bluntly.

However, at that moment, an ANBU ninja walked in and handed Tsunade a scroll.

Tsunade unfolded the document and her expression immediately changed.

"What's wrong?"

"I asked Hatake Sakumo."

"Information has come from within Sunagakure that the newly appointed Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, is preparing to join the war!"

The difference in troop strength between the two sides can be made up for, but when it comes to combat power at the level of a Kage, there is no one on the front line except for Sakumo Hatake.

In this way, Konoha's top ninjas are no longer enough.

Tsunade remained silent for a long time, glancing at Chiga from time to time.

Chiga remained expressionless, showing no intention of volunteering for the battle.

He was indeed confident that he could hold off the Fourth Kazekage in Sage Mode 2, but that state was not yet perfect, and it was in a large-scale battlefield.

If you get a little upset and something goes wrong, you could lose your life.

Moreover, he believed that Tsunade couldn't really trust him to hold off the Fourth Kazekage.

After all, she had never seen Qianhe go all out.

Even a commander cannot gamble everything.

Seeing that Chiga remained silent, Tsunade understood what was going on. Then, steeling her resolve, she clapped her hands and said coldly, "Bun-hair, you go down and get the men ready. Since the Sand Village wants to settle this in one battle, I'll grant their wish!"

"yes!"

Nara Shikakumi Tsunade spoke in a commanding tone, and without daring to object, she accepted the order and left the command room.

"Tsunade, I can stop Chiyo and Ebizo, but the Fourth Kazekage..."

Sakumo Hatake said, puzzled.

"Sakumo-senpai, don't worry, I've already figured out what to do!"

Tsunade gave Sakumo Hatake a reassuring look, then looked at Chiga.

"Nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"

Upon seeing this, Chiga turned and left; this woman had gone mad.

Before Chika could leave, Tsunade grabbed her by the back of the neck and said, "Don't go! I still need you to run errands!"

"Just running errands?"

Chiga was taken aback and asked.

"What are you thinking? You actually thought I was going to let you deal with the Fourth Kazekage?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Chiga, then took out a blank scroll and began writing rapidly.

Out of curiosity, Chiga leaned closer for a look and couldn't help but exclaim, "Lady Tsunade, are you trying to wipe out the Land of Wind?!"

As Tsunade wrote, she said matter-of-factly, "What? I'm sick and can't fight, and you can't stop the Fourth Kazekage, so can't we call for reinforcements?"

Chiga ignored Tsunade's sarcastic remark and simply said, "But isn't this outside help a bit outrageous?"

"Chiyo bullied me, so I called my teacher to deal with her. Any questions?"

"without"

"Besides, they're already preparing to send out the Fourth Kazekage, so why can't we send out the Third Hokage!"

Upon hearing that Tsunade was preparing to send the Third Hokage to the battlefield, Sakumo Hatake's expression relaxed, and he chuckled, "Looks like this war is about to end!"

Chiga nodded, continuing to peek at Tsunade's letter, and said disdainfully, "Lady Tsunade, what you're writing seems to be exactly the same thing you said to me back then!"

"What's wrong? I'm so tired, my breasts have even shrunk a size!"

Tsunade puffed out her chest without blushing or panting, and it really did look smaller!

She refused to believe that the three generations of old men wouldn't come to the battlefield after seeing her shameless letter!

Tsunade wrote a long and fluent piece, completing it in one go.

In short: Old man of three generations, your apprentice is being bullied, are you going to do anything about it?

"Alright, Chiga, I'll leave the rest to you. Use your Flying Thunder God Technique to get back to Konoha as fast as you can."

"We must set off back to Konoha now and personally deliver this scroll to the Third Hokage!"

Tsunade handed the scroll to Chiga and said in a deep voice.

"Why did I even bother learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, such a troublesome and exhausting ninjutsu?!"

Chiga muttered a helpless complaint.

Two days later, Chiga returned to Konoha Village, which was now under heavy guard, with two additional ANBU members stationed at the main gate to keep watch.

Even after seeing Chiga, they questioned her in great detail.

Chiga assumed that the situation was caused by the great battle and did not suspect anything further.

After completing the village entry registration, they headed to the Hokage Building.

Because the letter in his hand was quite important, Chiga didn't linger or go to find Kushina-sensei first. Instead, he went straight to the Hokage's office.

Before even stepping inside, Chiga heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice from within: "Come in!"

Chiga pushed open the door and went in, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi and saying, "Hokage-sama!"

The battles that had taken place during this period left Hiruzen Sarutobi feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and he even stopped watching the girls at the bathhouse.

Upon seeing the travel-worn Chika enter, he immediately became serious and asked, "Does Tsunade have any urgent message for me?"

"Yes, this is a letter from Lady Tsunade. Please take a look!"
