To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Hatake Sakumo chopped the puppet into pieces with one blow, somewhat surprised.

"I can actually control all the puppets here..."

Uchiha Shigeka's pair of three-magatama Sharingan clearly saw the chakra lines that were invisible to the naked eye.

Ten chakra lines extended from Chiyo's ten fingers, but after reaching a certain length, each chakra line began to differentiate.

One chakra line differentiates into dozens of thinner chakra lines.

Uchiha Shigeka held the five-pointed kunai and slashed at the thinner chakra line.

Ding!

Unexpectedly, this thin wire was very hard, and the collision between the five-pointed kunai and the chuck wire made a sound of metal clashing.

"This is my last dance..."

Chiyo's eyes were fierce as she squeezed out all the chakra in her body without reservation, pouring everything she had into the chakra line.

"What are you guys still standing there for? Follow me, break through the blockade of Konoha ninjas and get out!"

"You go back to the Rain Country and guard the camp!"

As she spoke, Chiyo continued to control the broken puppet to stop the Konoha ninjas.

Although her chakra line is strong, her puppet is weak. These are common goods of the Sand Village ninja. Standard goods, not as strong as the Tenjinshou.

Moreover, she had too many divisions, and her control over the puppets was not precise enough, so she could only be used to block the Konoha ninjas, and she couldn't launch any attacks.

The already damaged puppet became even more broken, and Chiyo continued to control the puppet fragments, a hand, a head, a leg...even an eyeball of the puppet was not spared.

The densely packed puppets blocked out the sky and blocked the steps of the Konoha ninjas.

Uchiha Shigeka took out a handful of kunai and threw them all out, following the gaps in the puppet fragments and into the ground around the gathered Sand Village ninjas.

"Humph! I already know your technique. In terms of sophistication, you are still far from the Second Hokage!"

Chiyo's eyes moved slightly, and the chakra lines further split, pulling out all the five-pointed kunai stuck in the ground and throwing them aside - that was a place that could not threaten the Sand Village.

"As expected of an old senior, you know a lot."

Seeing this, Uchiha Shigeka changed his tactics and formed seals with his hands.

Plumes of smoke suddenly rose, and shadow clones of Uchiha Shigeka appeared one after another.

"Rasengangan!"

The shadow clones all raised their right hands, a chakra ball appeared, and then suddenly expanded, and the dark blue Rasengan bloomed with an intoxicating light.

The shadow clones shouted together and rushed forward together, using the Rasengan in their hands to smash the attacking puppet fragments into pieces.

This time, not a single puppet fragment will be left!

The Konoha ninjas were constantly smashing the fragments of puppets controlled by Chiyo. On the other side, Chiyo was urging the Sunagakure ninjas to leave quickly.

"Lord Chiyo, we can't keep you here..."

A Sand Village jonin looked sad and said to Chiyo: "Come with us, Chiyo-sama!"

"Idiot!" Chiyo yelled at him, looked around at all the Sunagakure ninjas, and said angrily: "This is an order. As a ninja, do you want to disobey the orders of your superiors? Get out of here, retreat!"

A Sand Ninja took a breath and his eyes became firm: "Master Chiyo, leaving you alone to cover the retreat may not be enough, I will stay with Master Chiyo!"

The others responded, looking at Chiyo with determination.

"...Heh, they're all idiots."

Chiyo was touched and her tone softened a little. Seeing this situation, the people in Sunagakure felt that there was hope and they all smiled.

"Hand sand!"

"Yes!"

A Sand Village senior ninja named Tesa suddenly took action and knocked out the Sand Village ninja who wanted to stay behind with Chiyo.

There were many jonin of the same level as Tesa among these people. After blocking Tesa's sneak attack, they glared at him and said, "Tesa, what do you mean by this!?"

Shousha said in a deep voice: "This is what Master Chiyo wants. Chi Zuo, obey the order. This is Master Chiyo..."

Shousha's face was twisted and he looked sad.

"This is the final order, Chi Zuo, don't waste time, leave quickly!"

The Sunagakure jonin named Ikeza felt a sinking feeling in his heart and looked at Chiyo—mainly at the hole in her chest.

Chiyo said softly, "I can't walk far, so I can only make use of my remaining energy now. Haha, I don't want to hold you back. Chi Zuo, I know you mean well, but I still say what I said."

"Don't make unnecessary sacrifices! Let more people survive!"

"..."

Chi Zuo understood but could not accept it. His eyes turned red and tears immediately flowed out. He gritted his teeth and murmured for a moment. Knowing that the situation was urgent, he nodded heavily.

"Yes, Chiyo-sama! Let's... go!"

An atmosphere of grief and anger filled the air among the people of Sunagakure. After taking a last look at Chiyo, they fled sobbing.

Chiyo looked at the last puppet belonging to the Chikamatsu Juninshu, and she entrusted it to Tesaga - along with Yekura in his arms.

Watching the back of Sunagakure disappearing before her eyes, Chiyo took a deep breath...

"Cough cough cough-"

Chiyo suddenly started coughing violently. Her complexion instantly turned from rosy to pale and then gray, and the wrinkles on her face became deeper and more numerous. Her light hair quickly turned gray.

Not only that. Chiyo held her falling hair, feeling the cool breeze coming from her head.

Chiyo laughed miserably: "Haha, it seems that the time is up. Did you manage to hold out for this long? Hmm... it's shorter than I expected."

"Hahaha, these are really rare experimental data. If Ebizo were here, he would definitely dissuade me from continuing the experiment..."

——It’s a pity that Ebizo is not here, but it’s a good thing that Ebizo is not here.

"...Brother, Scorpion, I'm counting on you!"

......

Chapter 150: The Mangekyō Sharingan in the Depths of Consciousness

Uchiha Shigeka and his group looked at Chiyo's body lying on the ground indifferently.

"She looks..."

Tsunade squatted down and examined Chiyo's body, looking at her face which suddenly became old, her wrinkles became more numerous and deeper, and her face had more age spots.

The light-colored hair was dry and gray, and fell down one by one, revealing a bald head with wrinkles like tree bark.

Tsunade stood up and looked at Chiyo with some admiration.

"As a medical ninja, she had the ability to live longer, but in order to allow the Sand Village to escape, she burned up the last of her life force and stayed behind to cover their retreat."

Hatake Sakumo sighed and said, "Although they are enemies, their devotion to their companions is admirable."

Hatake Sakumo placed his right hand on his heart and bowed to Chiyo.

"Captain Sakumo!"

At this time, Uchiha Muneyuki and his group arrived.

Hatake Sakumo glanced at them and said with understanding: "The Sand Village finally escaped."

Uchiha Muneyuki nodded and said, "The Sand Village has appeared from behind. We are under attack from both sides. The pressure is increasing. To be safe, we should let those Sand Villagers go."

Hatake Sakumo patted his shoulder and said, "You did the right thing. Our goal has been achieved. The remaining Sand Village is not important. Leaving some Sand Village will also facilitate our subsequent plans."

Hatake Sakumo looked towards the northeast, where Hanzo of the Rain Village belonged.

"Collect the spoils, clean up the bodies of these Sand Villagers, leave the useful ones for the Intelligence Team and the Anbu, and burn the useless ones."

Hatake Sakumo said in a deep voice: "Let's go back to the headquarters and push the battle line to the southern border of the Rain Country!"

"Yes! Lord Sakumo!"

Uchiha Shigeka and the Konoha ninja were walking towards the government office. At this moment, he suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where Ye Cang and others left. His eyes were meaningful and intriguing.

......

"Hurry! We are hurrying up, speed up, speed up!"

Shousha stared nervously at Ye Cang in the arms of the Jinsong puppet. Her face became paler and bloodless, and her breathing became weaker.

Fine beads of sweat continued to appear on the face of the Sand Village medical ninja. He mobilized all his chakra, and the emerald green light was tightly maintaining Ye Cang's life fire.

"Ye Cang! Please don't die!"

Tesa had an unpleasant look on his face, and he kept urging the Sand Village ninjas to speed up their journey back to the Sand Village headquarters in the south of the Rain Country.

There are equipment and medicines to treat Ye Cang.

"Well......"

Ye Cang groaned, frowning as he endured the pain.

Deep in her consciousness, a pair of triangular-patterned Mangekyō Sharingan shone brightly.

The god-like eyes gazed indifferently at the depths of consciousness.

The naked Ye Cang hugged himself tightly, his beautiful face showing a look of pain, as if he was having a nightmare.

After Uchiha Shigeka's Mangekyō Sharingan took a few glances, it disappeared and dived into a deeper depth where no one noticed.

Ye Cang suddenly opened his eyes and gasped violently.

The Sand Village medical ninja who had been observing her paused, then after observing for a moment, he was overjoyed.

"Lord Ye Cang, you're awake! It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake..."

This is not a look of last-minute awakening, but a normal awakening.

Ye Cang's awakening indicated that the most difficult moment had passed - of course, if not treated in time, this brief awakening would soon worsen and he would fall into a coma again.

It will be difficult to wake up from this coma.

Shousha was also very clear about it, and quickly said to Ye Cang: "Hold on and don't fall asleep, we are almost at the treatment center!"

The sound of hand sand was very loud, and Ye Cang nodded after hearing it.

[Just now... I seemed to see a pair of strange eyes? ]

Ye Cang tried to recall it carefully, but she was so weak that her thoughts became confused and slow, and she couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried.

It was just a vague impression, not real, and the more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.

Ye Cang gave up after trying a few times.

【It's just... an illusion. 】

“…I saw the government office!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang raised her head with difficulty and the familiar roof of the government office appeared in her eyes.

......

The troops under Hatake Sakumo pushed the front line to the southern border of the Rain Country and connected with the troops under Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

At this point, the eastern and southern borders of the Rain Country have fallen into Konoha's hands.

Uchiha Shigeka and his group also returned to Orochimaru's unit to report.

Uchiha Shigeka walked out of the command center and was about to talk to Uchiha Mikoto when he saw Uchiha Fugaku and others coming up to him.

"Chonghua! Long time no see, I'm so glad you're okay!"

Uchiha Fugaku patted Uchiha Shigeka's shoulder with an excited look on his face.

"Captain Fugaku!"

Uchiha Shigeka looked at Uchiha Fugaku with the same excitement, his eyes staring at the other's right eye.

The gray that should have been there was gone, and it was a lively and intact eye.

If what he saw was true.

[Did you replace it with a Sharingan with intact vision...]

It is obvious that those blind members of the tribe have not received the light.
