Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

After arranging all the affairs, Ebizo returned to his residence.

"..."

He came to the Scorpion's door, reached out and grasped the door handle, but did not turn it.

Even without opening it, he knew that there was no one inside.

"…How can I tell my sister about this?"

"Ugh."

Only a sigh echoed in the air.

The events of the Third Kazekage were like an earthquake that quietly occurred beneath the calm sea.

At present, only the undercurrent is surging, and the sea surface is just rippling.

However, the series of reactions triggered by this incident will inevitably form a tsunami that no one can control!

The first person to sense that something was wrong was Grandma Chiyo at the front line.

"Put a hold on the offensive?"

She narrowed her eyes and carefully confirmed the order.

It was not what she had imagined.

Because Konoha's offensive had become extremely fierce in the past few days, all the poisons prepared by Chiyo were broken by Tsunade on the opposite side as if she had foreseen it.

The Sand Ninjas who thought that their poison was effective paid a heavy price. If it weren't for the fact that the desert terrain was their home turf, the battle line would have been lost!

Therefore, Grandma Chiyo originally thought that she would receive a stern rebuke and order urging her to attack.

However, this suspension of the offensive made her somewhat suspicious.

"Is this an order from the Third Kazekage?"

Granny Chiyo asked the ninja who delivered the letter.

"No, the Third Kazekage has suddenly disappeared recently. No one knows where he is, and no one knows what he wants to do. This is a unanimous decision made by the Sand Village leaders after discussion."

"Is Ebizo among them?"

"Yes, Chiyo-sama."

"That's no wonder."

Granny Chiyo nodded slightly, then put the order aside, and her originally kind expression suddenly turned cold.

"But I refuse!"

"The Third Kazekage is missing, so we must expand our offensive and make it more fierce!"

"If we reduce our offensive, Konoha will easily guess that something has happened in our rear. At that time, our situation will become even more difficult!"

"But……"

The Sand Ninjas around, who had originally breathed a sigh of relief, gasped after hearing Grandma Chiyo's decision.

There was also a strange look in his eyes.

This old woman is crazy!

Your son and daughter-in-law died, and you want to drag us to be buried with them?!

Our family is doing well!

No one spoke, just looked at each other.

Granny Chiyo could also feel the unhappiness of her subordinates, but she did not want to sympathize with them and instead insisted on her own opinion.

She had already lost her mind, and if she stopped now, sadness would overtake her, so she had to keep herself in a high-intensity combat computing state.

"Tomorrow! We will launch a new wave of offensive!"

"If anyone doesn't want to fight, you can tell me now."

"I do not want!"

A Sand Ninja immediately stood up, but was then pierced through the throat by a poisonous needle and fell dead on the spot!

"Who else doesn't want to?"

Granny Chiyo glanced at the remaining people who were ready to make a move.

A famous Sand Ninja stood up,

"Master Chiyo, you are being too radical. After all, we are from the same village..."

Before he could finish his words, Granny Chiyo threw a poison needle out of her hand, leaving him lying on the ground together with the man just now, forming a duo who died with their eyes open.

The air almost froze at this moment.

Everyone lowered their heads, clenched their fists, and dared not speak out.

"Does anyone else have any objections?"

Granny Chiyo glanced around.

"You're all silent, right? That means you have no objection."

"Tomorrow, a new wave of operations will begin!"

On the other side, at the Konoha Village camp, Orochimaru and Tsunade were looking at the situation marked on the map.

"..."

Tsunade lost interest after watching for a while, so she sat aside and began to read the letter sent by Kato Dan from behind, her eyes full of sweetness.

In such a war-torn era, this thin letter kept a place in her heart that would always be sweet.

"The recent offensive has been going smoothly, but the enemy's resistance is also very tenacious."

Orochimaru stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

"Chouza and Bokume also played a very important role, but there has been no news from Jiraiya?"

“No news is good news.”

Tsunade put the letter away and regained her serious expression.

"I've recently discovered that Chiyo's poison is becoming more and more extreme. She's trying to reduce the duration of the attack while increasing the toxicity, as if she wants to gain an advantage in a short period of time."

"No matter the cost..."

Orochimaru's mind moved: "Could it be that there have been changes behind the Sand Village?"

"Probably."

Tsunade nodded slightly: "But with Chiyo's personality, she is not the kind of person who would passively defend..."

"In that case, let's prepare some traps for her. We happened to have seized a lot of detonating talismans recently."

Orochimaru chuckled.

Suddenly, the two of them sensed something and stopped talking at the same time.

"Come out."

Orochimaru said coldly.

"As expected of you, the legendary Sannin-sama. The stealth technique that I am so proud of can be detected so easily."

In the darkness, a masked figure slowly walked out.

"People from the Root, what do you want Danzo to do here?"

"To convey an important message, the Third Kazekage is missing. The Hidden Sand Village intended to suppress the news, but we got the news through our own channels."

"Um?!"

Orochimaru and Tsunade were both stunned, but Orochimaru was the first to react.

Because he just happened to know that Nono was a member of the Root!

Moreover, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind like lightning.

Toru Ito!

Given Toru Ito's personality, there is absolutely no reason for him to allow Nono to tell the Root this news.

Therefore, he was using the root’s message chain to convey something!

Orochimaru thought as he looked at the Root member in front of him.

"So, what did Danzo want to say?"

"Danzo-sama's opinion is to attack!"

There was a hint of fanaticism in the words of the Root members.

"Now is the time to completely defeat the Sand Village! We must spare no effort to make them unable to fight again, thus facilitating the conclusion of a ceasefire agreement!"

"Will the root contribute to this?"

Orochimaru asked.

"We will cooperate with your actions. Of course, the specific actions will still depend on the command of Lord Danzo." The Root member replied.

"Hehe... I understand. Go back and tell Danzo that he can do whatever he wants, but our frontline troops will only accept the command of Hokage-sama."

"you!"

The root member clenched his fists: "You mean you won't cooperate?"

"So what?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold murderous aura instantly surrounded the Root member, making him unable to move!

Okay, so strong!

This is the feeling of oppression of the Sannin...

The root members were stiff.
