Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 158 Chiyo and Shukaku

"It's really good."

"These little guys seem to be adapting well here."

A hint of a smile flashed in Suzuki's eyes.

Afterwards, they watched for a while as the Konoha and Sunagakure ninja forces engaged in fierce fighting on the battlefield below.

Suzuki turned to Kakuzu and said:

"Let's go see Master Fenfu."

"Okay, boss."

On the mountain peak, two figures quickly disappeared.

……

Not long after, at the Sand Ninja Army camp located in a valley on the border of the Land of Wind.

Looking at Chiyo, the elder of Sunagakure, who was busy treating the injured Sunagakure ninja, Kakuzu's eyes, which usually only revealed gleaming green banknotes through his mask, now showed a hint of emotion:

"I never imagined that the desert flower of yesteryear would have aged to this extent."

Hearing this, Suzuki became curious and turned to Kakuzu to ask:

"Oh? You've seen her before?"

Recalling his time as a ninja from Takigakure, arriving in the Land of Wind on a mission, Kakuzu nodded, a hint of self-deprecation in his voice:

"Yes, after all, I'm considered an old man..."

"There are very few people from my generation left. The only ones still active in the ninja world are Chiyo and that Genji from Kirigakure. They were both prominent figures in the ninja world back then, no less so than the current Sannin."

With that, Kakuzu pointed to the battlefield not far away and said to Suzuki with a serious expression:

"And boss, you might not believe it, but Chiyo back then was much prettier than Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin."

"Yeah?"

Suzuki smiled, then looked in a certain direction in the camp and said, "The One-Tail is over there, let's go."

"OK."

The two then walked toward their target.

……

The Sand Ninja responsible for guarding and keeping watch spotted the two and immediately became alert.

"Stop! You are, uh..."

Just as Kakuzu was about to step forward and finish off these Sand Ninja,

Suzuki remained calm and took a step forward.

As a silver-white light flashed in his eyes, an invisible and intangible electric field instantly enveloped the entire Sunagakure camp.

The human body is extremely fragile. Even ninjas with chakra will bleed when faced with a sharp blade, let alone the high voltage electricity after Rumble awakens.

Bang...bang...bang...

One after another, the sound of falling to the ground rang out. Sand ninjas on guard duty, Sand ninjas transporting supplies in the camp, wounded soldiers waiting for treatment, and thousands of others were easily knocked to the ground by Suzuki.

"Thank you, Elder Chiyo, I..."

"Hehe, don't be so polite, you should..."

"Bang!"

Not far away, before Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure could finish speaking, she saw the wounded man in front of her suddenly lose consciousness. At the same time, she herself was inexplicably struck by a strong sense of numbness and dizziness, and her vision suddenly became blurry, as if she were about to collapse at any moment.

"not good!"

"There's a problem!"

Chiyo forced herself to stand up despite the dizziness, and was immediately shocked when she caught sight of a large group of Sand Ninja lying on the ground.

What kind of tactic is this?

It is astonishing that such terrible consequences were caused in such a short period of time.

Has Konoha Village launched an attack?

Or did those barbarians send troops to launch a sneak attack?

Chiyo's heart tightened, and she looked around. She quickly spotted two other figures standing besides herself.

She struggled to stay conscious, trying to make out the blurry figure ahead, and asked with a look of apprehension:

Who are you?

"Which village's ninja are they?"

"What are you doing at our Sunagakure camp?"

As she spoke, Chiyo unrolled the scroll and released the Chikamatsu Ten, while her chakra silently flowed into her legs.

Because the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the Scorching Release ninja Pakura were still fighting the Konoha ninjas on the front lines, while Ebizo was guarding the village, she prepared to use the puppet to block the enemy with unclear intentions, and then quickly rush to the battlefield to ask for reinforcements.

"Boss, should we kill her?"

Kakuzu, who had just praised Chiyo's beauty, now had cold eyes and spoke with murderous intent.

However, looking at the puppet blocking his way, Suzuki shook his head and said:

"No."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed to Chiyo's side and pointed a finger at her.

Puppet masters are not good at speed; the White Fang of Konoha was once their nightmare.

"..."

Chiyo's pupils contracted, and just as a look of shock appeared on her face, Suzuki tapped her forehead.

Bang~

The next second, this puppeteer, currently the strongest in the ninja world, collapsed instantly. The Chikamatsu Ten, known as the strongest puppeteers in the ninja world, also froze in place as their puppeteer fainted.

"She's Scorpion's grandmother, after all. Let's spare her life."

Suzuki glanced at Chiyo lying on the ground and said.

"What is a scorpion?"

Kakuzu looked puzzled.

"A ninja with great talent in puppetry, he was a rogue ninja from Sunagakure who had just arrived in the Land of Waves and joined the base."

"Oh? We have new people again?"

"Um."

"..."

With Suzuki and Kakuzu gone, the once bustling Sand Village camp became completely silent.

……

At the narrowest point in the valley, on the far right of the campsite.

Fearing a tailed beast rampage, Sunagakure, despite bringing their One-Tailed Jinchuriki to the battlefield, remained vigilant. They built a prison in a secluded corner on the far right of their camp and imprisoned the Jinchuriki as usual.

May all sentient beings in this world find salvation...

In the dimly lit prison, Fenfu sat cross-legged on the ground, chanting scriptures with his hands clasped together.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice resounded from the depths of his heart.

"Fenfu, I suddenly have a bad feeling."

Shukaku remained inside the seal, its face filled with solemnity.

Fenfu slightly raised his lowered eyebrows, glanced at the tightly closed door and windows, and sighed:

"Yes, I'm afraid there's been a problem at the camp."

Although the doors and windows were closed, people could still occasionally hear conversations outside before the blessing ceremony, but from the very beginning, there was no sound from outside.

Shukaku didn't know what was wrong with it. It was the strongest tailed beast, yet at this moment, a feeling of fear and panic welled up from the bottom of its heart like water without roots.

It grew increasingly anxious, scratching the ground incessantly with its claws, and made a rather urgent suggestion:

"Fenfu, should we run away?"

"This piece of junk can't hold us back at all!"

"If you just borrow a little bit of chakra from me..."

"Well……"

Suddenly, Shukaku's incessant chatter stopped.

Fenfu seemed to understand something, and with a wry smile, he turned his head towards the door and said slowly and calmly:

"Since you're here, please come in."

bang——

The tightly closed door shattered instantly.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Suzuki and Kakuzu entered the makeshift, dimly lit stone prison.

The computer fan keeps making noise, so I took it apart to check. Then it started showing Windows system error recovery, and it seems like it won't boot up. It's been stuck in the repair process, and I can't get to the desktop no matter what I do. I'm typing this on my phone now; I'll post another chapter tonight. I'll see if I need to go to an internet cafe later.
