Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 190 Chiyo's Plans

Chiga clearly knew that it was no longer Kushina who was in control, but Kurama inside her body.

He understood that if Kushina hadn't voluntarily relinquished control, Kurama would never have had the chance to break the seal.

To gain Kurama's trust, Kushina first needs to make Kurama believe in her, and that's what Kushina is doing.

Although I can understand Kushina's intentions, I still feel that Kushina was taking too much risks. If Kurama had even the slightest disloyalty, the outcome might have been different.

After exchanging a few insults, Kurama and Shukaku probably realized that it was pointless to gain an advantage verbally, so they decided to confront each other head-on.

The two had always dealt with each other, but after not seeing each other for so long, they fought like their lives depended on it.

As the Nine-Tails with the most chakra and the strongest power among the nine tailed beasts, it is far more ferocious.

Shukaku put up only a few symbolic resistances before being suppressed by Kurama.

The battle between the two tailed beasts is something that no one else can participate in.

The ninjas from Konoha and Sunagakure also shifted their focus, leaving this area to the two tailed beasts.

Currently, only Chiga remains in the field, while Sarutobi Asuma and the other two have been sent back to the command center by Chiga using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Chiga kept a close eye on the war between the tailed beasts. The tomoe in his scarlet eyes slowly rotated, and the attribute panel had already appeared in front of him.

If Kurama exhibits any unusual behavior, Chiga is ready to channel all her emotional energy into her Sharingan.

He wasn't quite there yet to evolve into the Mangekyou Sharingan, but the more he invested, the stronger his eye power became.

Chiga could only gamble on whether the three-tomoe jade could control Kurama.

However, at that moment, Chiga suddenly felt a chill behind him. He realized he had been careless and immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the spot.

Swish!

A flash of cold light, and the tree branch where Chiga was standing was cleaved in two with a single stroke.

Meanwhile, Chiga had already reached a tree branch not far away, looking in the direction of the enemy.

"Chiyo?"

Chiga was taken aback, not expecting that the one who attacked him would be Chiyo, who was entangled with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Uchiha Chika! Pay for my grandson's life!"

Chiyo gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and then controlled ten puppets to attack Chiga.

The ten puppets seemed to come alive, displaying both agility and fierce attacks.

At this moment, Chiga had to focus on Kurama's unusual behavior and had no time to fight Chiyo. She could only retreat while dodging and advising him:

"Old woman, have you thought this through? The Third Hokage was ruthless!"

"If you keep arguing with me, your brother and the Fourth Kazekage might be doomed!"

Chiyo hadn't expected Chiga to be so agile; despite her full effort, Chiga hadn't sustained any injuries.

Moreover, what Chiga said was true; the Fourth Kazekage and her brother Ebizo wouldn't last long.

She didn't leave the battle to seek revenge on Chiga, but rather to gather the Sand Village ninja and then lead the main force in a retreat.

After all, Konoha had already lost this battle in terms of high-end combat power and tailed beast battles.

In other words, the number of ninjas below is still greater than that of Konoha, but under the leadership of Konoha's White Fang, this numerical gap is rapidly narrowing.

Therefore, Sunagakure is prepared to retreat in this decisive battle, preserving its ninja numbers. Konoha does not dare to pursue too deeply, giving the Sunagakure ninja a chance to make a comeback.

However, Chiyo happened to see Chiga, which sparked her murderous intent.

She thought she could kill Chiga quickly once she made her move, but she didn't expect that this brat could neutralize all her attacks without even using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But she was unwilling to let Chiga go like that.

In the end, reason prevailed over Chiyo, and she withdrew the puppet.

"Uchiha Chika, one day, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Chiyo gritted her teeth and looked at Chiga. Her enemy was right in front of her, but she had no power to take revenge. This helplessness brought tears streaming down Chiyo's old face.

Seeing this, Chiga couldn't bear it either, squeezing out a crocodile tear and sighing, "Please accept my condolences!"

The old man is suffering too. He hasn't recovered from the pain of losing his son and daughter-in-law, and now his grandson has been killed by him.

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

[Negative emotions from Chiyo, emotion value +99!]

Chiyo's anger flared up instantly. She pulled the puppet she was about to recall back up again, ready to fight Chiga.

Qianhe was furious when he saw this. He had kindly offered some words of comfort, but Qianhe still had this attitude. When had he ever been treated like this?

"Hmph, since that's the case, then let me show you the puppetry techniques of Konoha!"

As he spoke, Chiga took out a scroll from his pocket, slowly unfurled it, and the character "three" was clearly written on the scroll!

Chiga has a better option than to activate Sage Mode and fight Chiyo, who has ten puppets.

The puppet is the puppeteer's lifeblood, relying entirely on its flexible joints and well-arranged mechanisms and blades for combat. If the joints are damaged, it means that the puppeteer loses its fighting ability.

The Third Kazekage's puppet form was simply the best weapon to destroy a puppet's joints.

"puppet?!"

Seeing this, Chiyo laughed mockingly: "Young man, you are truly arrogant!"

"I hope you can still laugh when you see this puppet!"

With that, Chiga unrolled the scroll.

With a bang, the Third Kazekage's puppet appeared in front of Chiyo.

Chiga extended five chakra threads from her fingers and connected them to the human puppet.

In an instant, the Third Kazekage flew into the air, spitting out endless iron sand from his mouth.

"The Third Kazekage? How is that possible?!"

Upon seeing this, Chiyo's eyes widened in anger. She never expected to see the corpse of their Third Kazekage of the Land of Wind under such circumstances.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Chiyo could tell at a glance that this puppet of the Third Kazekage was the work of her grandson, Sasori of the Red Sand.

In this way, it becomes clear who killed the Third Kazekage.

In an instant, Chiyo's face underwent a myriad of changes, displaying a range of emotions including murderous intent, regret, inner turmoil, and astonishment.

Chiga, watching Chiyo's performance with curiosity, couldn't help but say, "Chiyo-senpai, if you keep going like this, you'll go expressionless!"

After a long silence, Chiyo finally let out a heavy sigh and said to Chiga, "Junior, let's make a deal. You can put this human puppet away first!"

"A deal? What deal?"

Chiga frowned slightly, but still put the puppet away.

Since Chiyo was willing to risk the safety of her own brother and the Fourth Kazekage to kill him, it shows that the other party truly hated him to the core.

However, the stronger the hatred became, the more reluctant Chiga was to kill Chiyo.

These are all emotional triggers!

Now, Chiyo is able to suppress her murderous intent towards the Third Kazekage after seeing his puppet, and instead proposes a deal.

For a moment, Chiga also became a little curious.

"Young man, how many people in Konoha know the cause of the Third Kazekage's death?"

Chiyo struggled to suppress the murderous intent in her heart and asked in a low voice.

"No more than ten people!"

Chiga thought for a moment and realized that, apart from his three Jonin subordinates from back then, only Tsunade, Sakumo Hatake, Shikaku Nara, and Hiruzen Sarutobi knew.

"very good!"

Chiyo was delighted upon hearing this. With such a small number of people, the Third Hokage, that old fox, could easily keep it from being leaked.

Since the cause of the Third Kazekage's death can be concealed, things become much easier.

"Old woman, to make a long story short, you can talk to your Third Hokage and I can persuade the Fourth Kazekage to join Konoha in attacking the Land of Earth, but on the condition that you don't reveal the cause of the Third Kazekage's death."

"The specific details of the transaction will be discussed at the River Sands base at 11 PM tonight. We hope that the Third Hokage will be present."

Chiyo said to Chiga.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Chiga frowned.

The great war has already begun, and the cause of the Third Kazekage's death is no longer that important.

He didn't quite understand the meaning of this concealment. Was it just to avoid being implicated by Sasori of the Red Sand?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Chiga's mind, and he tentatively asked, "Old woman Chiyo, you've really gone to great lengths for your grandson."

"Young man, I don't know what you're talking about!"

Chiyo was startled, but replied calmly.

Seeing this, Chiga understood Chiyo's plan even more clearly.

Chiga confidently stated, "Reincarnation, one life for another, do you really want to trade your life for Sasori's resurrection?"

He understood that Chiyo must have already planned to revive Sasori, and if the cause of the Third Kazekage's death were announced, the revived Sasori would have no chance of survival in Sunagakure.

Even if they become rogue ninjas, they will still spend their lives in endless pursuit by Sunagakure.

This is clearly not what Chiyo wanted to see.

"you"

Chiyo stared at Chiga with disbelief.

The Reincarnation Technique is a forbidden technique that the Sand Village guards closely, and it hasn't even been fully developed yet. There's absolutely no way this brat could know about it.

Seeing how confident the other party was, Chiyo knew that there was no point in arguing anymore.

She simply gave Chiga a deep look and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Just pass on the message to your Third Hokage!"

After saying that, Chiyo left.

While the two were talking, the battle between the tailed beasts had already come to a conclusion.

In the arena, Kurama tore apart Shukaku's massive body. Just as Shukaku was about to reassemble, Kurama was about to unleash another Tailed Beast Ball, but found that Shukaku did not rebuild its body and instead allowed itself to turn into a pile of sand.

Nine-Tailed Fox glanced at Shukaku with disdain. It knew that this guy's personality was still the same: not strong, cowardly, and only a bit foul-mouthed.

Although Kurama felt it hadn't had enough of beating up Shukaku, it was still very excited to have managed to beat him up, and it immediately roared to the sky.

"roar--"

Nine tails danced in the air, blotting out the sun, like the king of ferocious beasts.

The war against the tailed beasts had ended at this moment, but not a single ninja on the battlefield dared to approach.

The Sand Village ninjas had nothing to say, while the Konoha ninjas were unable to determine whether Kushina was controlling the Nine-Tails.
