Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Finally it's solved..."

Toru Ito looked at the corpse of the female puppeteer in front of him and finally felt a little relieved.

This opponent was very strong. If he hadn't mastered the Sealing Technique and the Yin Sealing Technique, and used his mouth to successfully anger the opponent, he would probably have been killed instantly!

A rational puppeteer can gain the upper hand in almost any one-on-one battle by using kite-attack tactics!

But the female puppeteer that Toru Ito faced was a completely enraged puppeteer who had just lost her husband and was anxious to avenge her husband!

"Impulse is the devil."

Toru Ito shook his head and had no intention of taking the body of the female puppeteer away. After washing Hatake Sakumo's short sword, he turned and left.

He also had some rough guesses about the identity of this female puppeteer.

They should be the parents of Scorpion of the Red Sand, who made Hatake Sakumo's Konoha White Fang famous in the original work.

These two couples are unlucky enough, but even more unlucky than them is Hatake Sakumo. After killing these two big fish, it is hard to say whether the armistice agreement between Sand Village and Konoha later contains a clause that Hatake Sakumo commits suicide...

Given Danzo's stubborn temper, Toru Ito felt that this was most likely possible. Moreover, in the original work, it was very likely that Hatake Sakumo's strength had been greatly reduced, and he had lost his original value!

But now, things should have changed.

However, if his body was brought back, the Sand Village would probably go crazy and launch a reckless attack, which was not what Toru Ito wanted.

Besides, who knows if this woman has any strange poisonous explosive traps on her body.

Now the chakra in Toru Ito's body has been almost completely consumed, with only about one-fifth left. If he encounters any strong toxin attack again, he will probably be unable to detoxify!

So, slip away!

About a minute after Toru Ito left, the Sand Ninjas who were still struggling to hold on finally felt something was wrong.

"No! No! The chakras of those two adults have completely disappeared!" The sentient ninja shouted in panic. His already pale face instantly turned as pale as paper after hearing the news.

"How could this happen... This is impossible..." Someone murmured in disbelief, shaking his head.

"Hey, hey, hey, they didn't abandon us and run away, did they? If they really died here..." Some people couldn't accept this fact and raised their own guesses with trembling voices. Because they knew better than anyone what it would mean to the Hidden Sand Village if these two adults really died here.

That would not only be a huge loss in combat power, but would also trigger an unprecedented political turmoil!

"Do you think, given the personalities of those two adults, they will abandon us and run away alone?" A leader in the crowd, the captain of the Sand Hidden Village, clenched his fists.

Faced with his question, no one could give a definite answer.

Everyone fell silent, their hearts filled with despair and helplessness.

"It's over, it's all over now..." Someone's eyes were blank and he kept muttering to himself, and he even lost the will to continue fighting.

This raid was originally planned perfectly. They were going to take advantage of the time when the Konoha ninja's support troops had just arrived and had not yet gained a foothold to launch the attack, catching them off guard!

However, the result was contrary to their wishes. Not only did they fail to achieve their expected goals, but they also lost their two leaders and a large number of manpower...

Such a heavy price is really unbearable for the Sand Ninjas.

"We can't hesitate any longer, retreat immediately! We must take back the bodies of those two adults at all costs!" The experienced Sand Ninja realized that the situation was not good and gave the order decisively.

At this moment, they have no time to take care of other things. The top priority is to reduce the losses as much as possible and bring back important information safely!

On the other side, the offensive of the Konoha ninja became more and more fierce. With the continuous support of Kato Dan and the return of Hatake Sakumo by Red Bean, Tsunade can focus on her treatment, which greatly boosts the morale of the Konoha side!

In such a favorable battle, Orochimaru felt unprecedented joy. Unlike the previous frustrating battles, this time, even the wind made him feel happy!

When Toru Ito slowly returned to the camp after strolling around, the fierce battle was gradually coming to an end.

"Ito! You're finally back!" Seeing him return safely, Hongdou and Tsunade finally felt relieved.

Even Orochimaru gave him an approving look: "Well done, Ito."

"It's just luck." Ito Toru smiled bitterly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked before Hongdou opened his mouth to ask about the female puppeteer: "Um...how is Lord Hatake? The emergency treatment I did earlier can only temporarily suppress the onset of the toxins in his body."

"Thanks to you, his life is no longer in danger." Tsunade raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"However, I am still unable to completely cure him of the poison, and this poison is different from any I have seen before..."

"It may take me some time to develop an antidote, and during this time, the toxin may cause irreversible damage to his body."

"...In other words, will it affect his original strength?" Orochimaru realized the meaning of Tsunade's words.

"Yes."

Tsunade nodded affirmatively.

"What kind of opponent did he meet?" Orochimaru muttered to himself, and then he, Tsunade and Kato Dan turned their eyes to Ito Toru.

At this time, Toru Ito was returning the white dagger that had been cleaned of the poison to the scabbard on Hatake Sakumo's body.

He felt someone was staring at him, and when he turned around, he was met with three pairs of inquiring gazes, so he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Hmm... Well, I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but the other party is a male and a female puppeteer. The male has short dark red hair, and the female has long brown hair."

"The male puppeteer was killed by Lord Hatake on the spot, and the female puppeteer was seriously injured. But she still chased me all the way with her last breath. I fought with her for a while, and finally she died with blood spurting out of her." Ito Toru told part of the truth without changing his expression.

The victory must be given to Hatake Sakumo, and when he wakes up, everything has been settled!

Hatake Sakumo is not good at speaking, so even if he wanted to explain, he couldn't.

The plan goes through!

"This……"

When Orochimaru heard Ito Toru's description of the two people, his expression froze slightly.

"This physical description...could it be Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law? Dan, what do you think?"

"That should be correct. If it weren't for a skilled puppeteer, tonight's attack and the previous strategic arrangements would not have been possible." Kato Dan's expression relaxed: "Great, this way, the Sand Ninjas should be quiet for a while!"

"Well, Sakumo really helped a lot this time."

Orochimaru's mouth corners also slightly raised, looking at Tsunade: "But later, Tsunade may have a hard time, that Chiyo should come out."

"Humph, I've wanted to fight her for a long time!"

Tsunade's eyes lit up with fighting spirit.
