Chapter 89 Chiyo's Rampage, the Strength of a Demigod's Nemesis
"Chiyo, I deeply regret Ebizo's sacrifice. I only regret that I couldn't leave Sunagakure at will, otherwise I would never have let him take such a risk. But the dead cannot be brought back to life, so you must not let hatred cloud your judgment."
Upon receiving intelligence from the border base, the Third Kazekage immediately activated the chakra television, which is only used when communicating remotely with the Daimyo, to comfort Chiyo through a face-to-face conversation.
"Kazekage, I am perfectly calm right now," Chiyo said coldly. "If I had been blinded by hatred, I would have already secretly sought out Hanzo to join forces and launch an attack on the Land of Fire."
The Third Kazekage didn't take Chiyo's disrespectful words to heart. The siblings and Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law were the dominant faction in the upper echelons of Sunagakure.
Chiyo, skilled in puppetry, poison techniques, and medical ninjutsu, enjoys a reputation in Sunagakure that surpasses even Tsunade's future title as a medical genius, and has countless followers.
Just like the master of Kirigakure, Chiyo, although only an assistant to the Kazekage, was an equal to the Kazekage.
If Chiyo had even the slightest disloyalty, he would never have been chosen as the Third Kazekage.
Fortunately, his whole family are supporters of the Fengying lineage.
Seeing that Chiyo hadn't lost her temper, the Third Kazekage breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "So, why do you want Bunfuku to be stationed at the border base?"
"I must change this situation," Chiyo stated the harsh reality. "We lost the probing phase of this war."
"My brother's death has temporarily cut off all our contact with our undercover agents, and our external intelligence agencies have been completely paralyzed."
"Without intelligence support, it would be too dangerous for reconnaissance teams and secret agents to infiltrate enemy countries. Instead, it would create more opportunities for the enemy."
"If we fall behind during the probing phase, it's tantamount to exposing our weaknesses to the enemy, which will only make us more passive."
"We now have only one option: to break the balance of this situation and force them to move to the next stage."
"Our hatred for Amegakure isn't deep; our involvement was entirely due to Hanzo's surprise attack. From beginning to end, we've only been passively defending against Hanzo's aggression. Now, let's take another step back and shift our focus to Konoha."
"If Hanzo continues to be so oblivious and attack us, then let Bunfuku join the fight."
At this point, Chiyo said with murderous intent in her eyes, "I will focus my attention on the Konoha front and make them pay a heavy price for this scheme."
Although Chiyo's motivation was revenge, her words made a lot of sense to the Third Kazekage.
Unless the Wind Kingdom announces its withdrawal, they are now blind without their intelligence agency.
What's even more fatal is that everyone knows this.
If they choose to back down in this situation, they would be cowardly and blind, and might even attract more wolves.
The already unbalanced economy will only worsen.
They had nowhere left to retreat.
Now that Konoha's fighting strength has been divided between the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the Third Kazekage is equally unwilling to give it up.
Therefore, the Third Kazekage decisively said, "Alright, I will now order Bunpuku to go to the border base. The battle against Konoha is in your hands. Go ahead and do your job. Even if something happens at the border base, I will personally take action."
"I understand."
With the Third Kazekage's approval, Chiyo immediately began to act.
She didn't even wait for Fenfu to arrive at the border base before handing over command to her adjutant team. Then, she led a powerful group of high-level combatants to the front line where the Land of Rivers and the Land of Rain meet her son and daughter-in-law.
The arrival of a Five Kage-level expert and a group of high-level combatants not only instantly boosted the strength of this defensive line, but also disrupted Hatake Sakumo's rhythm.
During this four-month probing period, both Sakumo Hatake and Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law had gained a preliminary understanding of the enemy's troop strength and the specialties of some of their advanced combat forces.
When supporting the reconnaissance team and the secret service, they also had many brief encounters and knew each other's strengths and weaknesses.
They are just one opportunity away from killing each other.
Chiyo's sudden arrival has transformed Sakumo Hatake's opponent from an elite Jonin and a Jonin couple into a Kage-level powerhouse capable of going toe-to-toe with Hanzo of the Salamander.
Moreover, Chiyo wasn't there to sit on the front lines and boost morale; she was parachuted in as an avenger.
With the aim of breaking the current situation, she simply glanced at the intelligence gathered by the reconnaissance team and the secret service, and then personally led the combat troops to launch a surprise attack on the White Fang front.
Although it was foreseen that the news of Ebizo's death might change the course of the war, Hatake Sakumo never expected that Chiyo would so decisively shift the battle lines.
Isn't she afraid that her departure from the border base will give Hanzo the opportunity to launch another surprise attack on the Land of Wind?
However, it is the White Fang front that is now under attack.
The White Fang front, unaware of this intelligence, was caught off guard.
Hatake Sakumo also experienced the power of the Five Kage-level warriors for the first time!
Sakumo Hatake, who was skilled in Lightning Release: Nature Transformation and Taijutsu, should have been the bane of puppeteers. He could easily defeat puppeteers who, even without being forced to stand still, would have their movement speed and reaction ability weakened when controlling the puppets, as long as he bypassed their puppets.
Even Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, this couple who can control puppets to cooperate and make it difficult for taijutsu ninjas and ninjutsu ninjas to get close, also have such weaknesses in Hatake Sakumo's eyes.
Chiyo, however, was completely different from those puppeteers.
Her physical skills are extremely powerful; her speed and reaction ability can keep up with Hatake Sakumo's lightning release speed, making her seem nothing like a woman in her fifties or sixties and a puppeteer.
Moreover, her puppetry skills were unparalleled.
Created by the progenitor of puppeteers, the Chikamatsu Ten were Chiyo's strongest technique in the ninja world, hailed as a single machine capable of taking on a thousand, even more powerful than a ninja squad composed of ten high-level fighters.
One of Chiyo's most famous battles was when she conquered a city using these ten puppets.
These puppets are made of very special materials. No weakness has been found in them. Even slashes that cover the nature transformation of lightning cannot break these puppets.
These puppets can also perform combination techniques similar to complex ninjutsu, posing a deadly threat to Sakumo Hatake.
He wasn't fighting one-on-one, but rather one person against a group of highly skilled, even elite, combatants who were connected at heart and seemed to share a single brain.
Chiyo also transformed her own hands into puppet hands, which not only allowed her to better control the Chikamatsu Ten, but also installed puppet mechanisms that could transform her own chakra into a shield to defend against everything.
Sakumo Hatake managed to dodge all the puppets and find an opening in Chiyo's defenses, but his attack was easily blocked by her shield.
If it weren't for their incredible speed, they would have almost fallen victim to the same poison technique that Chiyo had attached to the puppet's hand.
Like Hanzo the Salamander and Yoru Gojo, Sakumo Hatake, who was also an assassin, instantly realized that he was no match for Chiyo.
At the same time, I finally understand why this woman became Hanzo the Salamander's nemesis.
Without hesitation, he led his troops in a scattered retreat.
Even so, quite a few Konoha ninjas died from Chiyo's deadly poison after being accidentally injured by the puppeteers' puppets.
It was not the widespread poisonous smoke of the salamander, but rather a deadly poison coated on weapons and concealed weapons, which would also kill upon contact.
Faced with this deadly poison, Sakumo Hatake was helpless and could only request assistance from the village.
The crazed Chiyo stole Gojo Yoru's thunder, becoming the most eye-catching presence on the battlefield.
After many years, this woman once again made the ninja world feel the power of a puppeteer.
A weak puppeteer is indeed full of flaws, and when faced with an opponent whose attributes counter them, they are easily defeated.
A powerful puppeteer is almost flawless, capable of commanding an entire army single-handedly.
