"Which bastard did this!"
Chiyo had always kept some of her attention on her son and daughter-in-law, and she instantly sensed the crisis between the two and angrily cursed.
While cursing, a finger moved instantly, and Earth Release Chakra fluctuations immediately surged from her body.
As a veteran Kage-Level powerhouse from Sunagakure and a former Sunagakure genius, Chiyo also mastered the five basic chakra natures and a variety of five element jutsu. It was just that compared to her powerful puppet arts, these five element jutsu were a bit beneath the table, and that's why she didn't use them normally.
However, with her powerful puppet techniques and puppets with chakra circuits similar to those of the human body, she can use a single finger to make the puppets use various Five Elemental Jutsu, which allows her to use a variety of tactics to defend against and kill enemies in battle.
Chiyo's current goal is to save people, so the natural defensive Jutsu used by the puppets are those that protect.
One of the puppets from the "Ten Puppets of Chikamatsu" quickly completed a hand seal.
The next moment, two huge, thick earthen walls appeared in front of Akashige and Sara, blocking the two water dragons that were rapidly approaching from different directions.
Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!
At the same time, Kitsuchi immediately shouted, "Good opportunity, focus fire on the old woman."
As soon as he finished speaking, he used the Earth Release: Rock Gun technique!
More than ten huge rock projectiles immediately spewed from his mouth and shot at Chiyo, who was standing on the back of a puppet and temporarily flying in the air.
When the other Iwa-nin heard what Kitsuchi said, they also used the Earth Release · Rock Gun technique to coordinate their attacks.
For a moment, a large number of rock projectiles shot intensively at Chiyo.
"Hmph, you really don't learn,"
Chiyo said coldly as she saw this, quickly pulling her seven fingers.
Five puppets of the Chikamatsu, each armed with a different weapon, suddenly moved rapidly in the air, and then used their weapons to block all the incoming rocks.
The remaining two puppets spit out a large amount of purple poisonous smoke from one mouth, and a gust of wind from the other.
"Hold your breath!"
Kitsuchi shouted as he saw the poisonous smoke approaching.
Unfortunately, some Iwa-nin still failed to hold their breath the first time and breathed in a little of the poisonous smoke. Immediately, they began to feel dizzy and light-headed. Seeing this, their companions had to divert their attention to taking care of them and giving them antidote pills.
"Hurry and retreat, we're not far from the border of our Land of Wind,"
Chiyo shouted while using the poisonous smoke to temporarily hold off the group of Iwa-nin.
Meanwhile, she kept a close eye on the mysterious enemy who had just used the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet technique, waiting for an opportunity to strike once she spotted him.
"Could it be that bastard Hattori Masanari,"
Chiyo was on high alert.
During the previous operation to rescue her son and daughter-in-law, that hateful Ame-Nin had actually only sent a shadow clone to conduct the trade, allowing her carefully prepared thunder killing move to fail and preventing her from successfully killing this hateful creature.
Now, it is very likely that the powerful Water Release Jutsu just now was released by this hateful person.
After all, this person is extremely good at concealing himself. Maybe he had been hiding near the trading location before, and then he discovered that they from the Sunagakure were there to cause trouble, so he stayed hidden and tracked them here. Now that he sees that their son and daughter-in-law are in bad shape, he launched a sneak attack.
"What a hateful bastard, you'd better not come out, or I'll definitely kill you first,"
Chiyo thought angrily.
She simply did not take Hattori Masanari, an Ame-Nin in the rain, seriously at all, because they were already in the territory of the Bird Country, no longer in the Land of Rain, which had been experiencing continuous heavy rain, and there were no large rivers or streams around, so Hattori Masanari's Water Release could no longer be as powerful as it had been in the Land of Rain.
In her eyes, Hattori Masanari, who had left the Land of Rain, was just an elite jōnin with slightly stronger capabilities.
She could easily deal with an opponent of this level if she applied herself.
Thanks to Chiyo's distraction of the Iwagakure ninja, the Suna-Nin finally got a precious chance to catch their breath again, and they all continued to break out in different directions.
Akashige and Sara also knew that they would only be a burden if they stayed, so they also decisively chose a direction to break out.
However, the large number of Iwagakure ninja on the Rock Giant were keeping an eye on the two of them, so how could they possibly let them escape?
Kitsuchi was the first to complete the seal and used the Earth Release: Moving Earth Core Technique.
In an instant, the ground under Akashige and Sara rapidly began to sink.
The two were already extremely familiar with Iwa-nin's disgusting Earth Release jutsu, which was used to block the enemy's escape, and had long since found a corresponding countermeasure.
They quickly shot out Chakra lines from their fingers, wrapping them around some trees and rocks not far away, and then quickly pulled on the Chakra lines to avoid being trapped underground.
However, this time, their usual countermeasure backfired.
Suddenly, a series of air chops appeared and precisely cut off the chakra lines they were manipulating.
When the chakra lines were cut, the two men suddenly felt weightless and quickly fell down.
Akashige quickly manipulated the puppet to stab the weapon into the rock wall, and then grabbed his wife's waist with his hands to stop the two from falling using the puppet.
Once they had successfully stopped the downward trend, they immediately placed their feet on the rock wall and quickly climbed upwards.
At the same time, they manipulated the puppets to protect them.
The puppets and ninja equipment on the two of them had long been taken by Kirito. They had previously received two puppets from Chiyo that performed quite well, but one of the puppets manipulated by Sara had been damaged due to an accident.
Now there are only three puppets left by the two of them, and the poison-coated hidden weapons on the puppets were used up in the previous battle with Iwa-nin, leaving only the poison-coated melee weapons and the machine light shield sealing mechanism on the body that can be used.
In addition, the two of them were already at their physical limits, and their combat effectiveness was less than 60% of their full potential.
Sara was even worse off. After losing one of her puppets, her combat effectiveness was less than 40% of her full potential, and she had become a burden to Akashige.
"Akashige, if I'm a burden again, just leave me behind. I'll stay behind to protect your retreat. I can't go on anymore. I can't keep you company anymore."
Sara felt her body growing weaker and weaker, and her head once again grew dizzy. She gritted her teeth and said sadly to the Akashige beside her:
"What are you talking about? We have finally survived that damned Ame-Nin. How can we give up? Sara, you must remember, Sasori is still waiting for us at home. We absolutely cannot give up."
Akashige heard the despair and grief in his wife's voice, and it hurt him. Then he spoke forcefully and loudly:
When Sara heard Akashige mention Sasori, the image of that cute child she had always cared for came to mind, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her resolve strengthened once more, and her expression reflected it. She nodded at Akashige and said, "I know, I won't say anything to dampen your spirits."
"You two are still as affectionate as ever. It's hard to watch you show off your love for each other at a time like this."
Suddenly, a cold voice with a hint of teasing came from above.
Upon hearing this voice, the two's already very pale expressions suddenly turned bloodless, and a flash of hatred and fear flashed in their eyes.
This voice, they had heard it too many times in that small, dark prison cell, and it had left a deep impression on them, so deep that it was etched into their bones.
"Hattori Masanari!"
Akashige shouted with clenched teeth.
The next moment, the Ame-Nin they both hated so much appeared before their eyes, and he was standing on the edge of the overhanging rock face looking down at them.
At the same time, he slapped his hands together, and a large amount of water spurted from his mouth.
Water Release: Water Colliding Wave!
A large amount of water instantly formed a huge waterfall that fell from above Akashige and Sara.
"Damn it!"
Akashige's face changed as he saw this. He immediately pushed his wife away from him, told her to go to the opposite rock face, and quickly performed the seal.
One rock face suddenly rose up from the side of the rock face, blocking the waterfall that was coming from the front.
Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!
Akashige took advantage of the opportunity to quickly control the puppet and take him to the opposite rock wall.
However, Kirito quickly completed the hand seals and a large amount of water, formed by the violent waves, suddenly formed a water dragon that pounced at Akashige at high speed.
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
As the water dragon pounced on Akashige, a large number of thunder balls shot at the water dragon first, shattering its body and resolving Akashige's crisis in time.
Some of the subsequent thunder balls continued to shoot at Kirito. The one who shot them was Sara.
Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!
"It seems that Water Release really does require a high level of geographical advantage. I really don't know what level the Water Release of the Second Hokage, which is not restricted by geographical advantage, is."
Kirito sighed as he saw his Water Dragon Bullet technique defeated.
After leaving the advantageous geographical location of the Land of Rain, his Water Release jutsu no longer felt as smooth and natural as before, but rather felt a little sluggish, and its power had also decreased.
He knew that it was because he had lost the advantage of the terrain and could not use the water in the natural world to attack.
However, he could use more than just Water Release, and it was about time that his Hattori Masanari vest demonstrated the power of his other Jutsu in front of the world.
He slapped his hands together, and an updraft immediately gushed out from under his feet, quickly forming a wind wall that blocked all the incoming lightning balls, even the rocks formed by Akashige's Earth Release · Rock Gun technique.
Wind Release: Swift Wind Wall!
Then, he took a deep breath, clapped his hands together once more, and spat out a dozen consecutive Air Slashes.
Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Wave!
The Air Slashes were fast and furious, shooting towards the two of them at a speed that broke the speed of sound.
"Hurry up and come over here, sara!"
Akashige saw this and said anxiously, as he was too late to use the Earth Release: Earth Style Wall to defend himself, he decisively controlled the two puppets in front of him and instantly used the Machine Light Shield Seal to form two thick Chakra shields.
Sara obediently quickly rushed to Akashige's side.
"Ugh~"
A dozen air chops hit the top of the Chakra shields, causing Akashige to let out a muffled cry of pain.
He had taken the soldiers' pills and fought with the people of the Rock Ninjutsu clan all the way to the present, and there was not much chakra left in his body. The Kikōshū seal was undoubtedly a defensive move that consumed a lot of chakra. Kirito's attack this time had caused his chakra to drop to the bottom.
He was about to collapse.
Suddenly, a burst of warm chakra rushed into his body, giving him a burst of energy.
But a look of grief appeared on his face.
Because this warm chakra was sent to him by his beloved wife, and he knew that Sara's situation was even worse than his, and now that she was sending him the chakra she needed to stay alive, her own chances of survival would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
"Enough, Sara, don't send any more chakra to me, stop it,"
Akashige couldn't help but cry, calling out in pain.
But this time Sara didn't listen, and resolutely sent the little chakra she had left to Akashige.
Before that, she had already made up her mind: if she couldn't go back, she would entrust Akashige with all the hope for survival.
At least one of them had to go back alive to take care of Sasori; otherwise, it would be really sad for Sasori to grow up without her parents. She didn't want Sasori to grow up without the companionship of her mom and dad.
"You have to go back alive, Akashige,"
Sara said weakly with a smile.
After that, she could no longer hold on, her vision went dark, and she fainted. Her feet, which were stuck to the rock wall with chakra, could no longer support her body, and she began to fall.
Akashige immediately wrapped his arms around Sara's waist.
He couldn't let his beloved wife die without help. Even if he had to die, he would take his wife with him.
"How touching. Unfortunately, we are enemies, and you provoked me first. Since you cannot become the object of my trade with Iwagakure, you will die here with me."
Kirito Akashige and Sara, who were still relying on each other in a dangerous situation, said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took another deep breath, quickly formed his hands into seals, and prepared to use another Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Wave to eliminate the two of them.
But as soon as he finished forming the seal, he immediately turned his head, aimed at the air, and spat out a dozen air slashes, shooting at one of the puppet soldiers of the Chikamatsu, who was holding a large sword.
At the critical moment, Chiyo once again intervened to save her son and daughter-in-law.
Under Chiyo's control, the puppet holding the large sword quickly swung the large sword covered in chakra in its hand, defeating all the incoming air slashes, and quickly rushed towards Kirito.
In the process, it spits out a large number of wind bombs from its mouth!
Kirito had to immediately use Water Release: Water Formation Wall to defend himself, blocking the incoming wind bombs and quickly retreating.
At the same time, he shouted, "Mr. Kitsuchi, don't just stand there, let's fight these damn Suna-Nin together."
"Hmph, now you realize that we should fight the Suna-Nin together, what were you doing before?"
Kitsuchi heard the voice of Hattori Masanari, which Kirito was playing, and cursed in his heart. His expression was indifferent, and he was not at all grateful to Kirito for just helping them hold off Akashige and Sara.
Not only did Kitsuchi think this way, but the other Iwa-nin felt the same. They didn't have a good impression of Kirito, who had suddenly come out to try to pick up their heads.
However, the fact that they didn't have a good impression of Kirito didn't prevent them from joining forces with him to deal with Sunagakure at this time.
They understand the principle that an enemy's enemy is a friend.
They, Iwagakure, have no conflict with Amegakure for the time being, so this reasoning holds.
For a moment, the giant rock giant swung its huge arm at Chiyo in the air under the control of Kitsuchi.
The arm's swing may have seemed slow, but in reality it was quite fast, and contained an incredibly terrifying amount of power. As it swung, it created a gust of wind that blew towards Chiyo, greatly reducing the effect of the poison smoke released by the puppet controlled by Chiyo.
At the same time, a large number of Rock Ninjas on top of the giant rock figure used the Earth Release: Rock Gun technique to continue attacking Chiyo.
"Damn you, Iwa-nin!
Chiyo quickly used her puppets to get out of the range of the arm of the rock giant, and then used the other six puppets to smash the oncoming rocks.
Due to the siege of the Iwa-nin, she could not focus much on the hateful Hattori Masanari for a while.
Without Chiyo's careful control, the movements of the puppet of the Chikamatsu, which was holding a large sword, suddenly became somewhat sluggish in front of Kirito, and no longer had the agile movement speed of before, as if it were a jōnin.
He was not fighting using Byakugan at this time, as he was worried that once he activated it, it would invalidate the disguise of the White Zetsu clone.
However, even without Byakugan activated, and despite being disguised by the disguise technique, he was still able to see the chakra, even if he couldn't peer through it and observe the enemy's chakra in depth.
Therefore, he was still able to see the chakra line connecting to the puppet.
"Good opportunity."
Kirito decisively threw more than ten shuriken infused with Wind Release chakra at the puppet in front of him.
Wind Release Shuriken!
The ten shuriken infused with wind release chakra were not only shot at a greatly increased speed, but also formed sharp wind blades at the edges when spinning at high speed.
"Hmph, stupid, the shuriken foundation is actually so poor,"
Chiyo glanced at the situation over there and saw that most of the shuriken thrown by Kirito were very inaccurate, and she sneered. Then she pulled on the chakra line on her finger, ready to teach this hateful Ame-Nin a severe lesson.
But the next moment, her face changed drastically, because she discovered that she could no longer control the puppet's movements with her chakra.
Unsurprisingly, that was because her chakra line had been cut.
"Could it be that that guy did that on purpose?"
Chiyo mused.
But she no longer had time to think about that, as the damn Iwa-nin in front of her launched another collective attack on her, and she had no choice but to use her mind to control the puppet to fight back.
Her assessment of these Iwa-nin was that they were human but united, and with their collective Earth Release jutsu, they could instantly erupt with power that threatened her as a Kage-Level powerhouse. What's more, they were all turtles, relying on that seemingly bulky but swift giant rock as a war fortress, making it impossible for the puppets she controlled to get anywhere near them.
She wanted to unleash powerful Jutsu to destroy the Rock Giant, but the Iwa-nin kept injecting Earth Release Chakra into the Rock Giant, making its body incredibly strong. Even if she attacked it with Lightning Release Jutsu to restrain it, it was difficult to cause effective damage.
She had to ultimately choose to focus on containing it, to hold off most of the Iwagakure forces, so that her son, daughter-in-law, and the rest of the Suna-Nin would have a chance to safely evacuate.
Everything had been going quite well, but then Hattori Masanari appeared at the critical moment and threatened the lives of her son and daughter-in-law. This really made her hateful, and she wanted to immediately abandon these hateful Iwa-nin and go directly to kill that hateful Ame-Nin.
The chakra thread was cut by the shuriken containing the wind release chakra thrown by Kirito, and the puppet holding the large sword suddenly stopped moving. It was immediately hit by several shuriken, and if it weren't for the simple materials it was made of, it would have been smashed to pieces.
Kirito wouldn't let Chiyo have the chance to control this puppet to fight him again, and decisively used Wind Release: Vacuum Wave to attack.
He clapped his hands together, and a huge air slash was emitted in the air.
"Don't even think about it."
An angry shout came from nearby, the voice of Akashige, who had successfully brought his wife back to the ground.
As soon as the words fell, a wall of earth blocked in front of the puppet.
The Wind Release: Vacuum Wave is quite powerful and incredibly sharp. The earthen wall was unable to block the air chopper formed by it, and it was cut off almost instantly, continuing to shoot towards the puppet of the Chikamatsu holding the large sword.
At the critical moment, the puppet of the Chikamatsu, which had lost control, suddenly moved. The large sword in its hand was instantly covered in chakra, and then it used the sword to defeat the incoming air chopper.
"You're really tenacious,"
Kirito said coldly as he watched Akaza complete his control of the giant blade puppet with the chakra thread.
"Don't underestimate the tenacity of the Sunagakure, you Ame-Nin bastard,"
Akaza snapped.
As he spoke, he controlled four puppets to attack Kirito at the same time.
After obtaining his wife's chakra, his chakra has returned to 30% of its former glory, which is enough for him to control four puppets to fight the annoying Ame-Nin in front of him.
He believes he can win.
Because this is no longer the damn Land of Rain, where water is everywhere.
"This feeling of fighting with my hands tied is really annoying. Is that guy Hanzo going to make his move yet?"
Kirito watched as Akashige confidently manipulated the four puppets to come at him, impatiently thinking to himself.
The next moment, he took out a Kunai and spat a gust of wind-attacking chakra onto it, forming a sharp wind-attacking chakra sword.
Wind-attacking: Vacuum Blade!
Then, he used a technique he hadn't used for a long time, focusing natural energy in his legs to increase his speed drastically.
This acceleration was far inferior to the speed increase brought about by using the Lightning Stimulation Secret Technique, but it was stronger than simply using Chakra to focus on the legs to increase speed.
For a time, Kirito exploded out at a speed close to the speed of sound, quickly dodging the bodies of the four approaching puppets, and then approaching Akashige.
"Impossible!"
At this time, Akashige shouted in disbelief.
Because he found that he had lost contact with the four puppets he was controlling, and could no longer control them.
Although he didn't want to admit it, there was only one reason for this result, and that was that the person in front of him had just cut the chakra line he used to control the puppets when avoiding the puppet attack.
After losing control of the four puppets, Akashige's mind began to blank out, and he could no longer think of how he was going to avoid the sudden and terrifying speed of Ame-Nin's attack in front of him.
"I'm sorry, Sara,"
Akashige thought painfully, and then subconsciously pushed Sara in his arms away.
Then, a wind-evading chakra sword immediately cut off his right hand, which he used to control the puppet, and then quickly cut off his other hand and legs, reducing him to a human stick.
"Ah~"
Akashige let out a painful scream.
"Akashige!!!"
Chiyo noticed this scene and let out a heart-rending scream. Her eyes instantly filled with bloodshot, and a terrifying murderous aura exploded from her body.
She no longer cared about Iwa-nin in front of her, and decisively controlled the seven Chikamatsu puppets to charge towards Kirito, determined to behead Kirito here and now.
When Chiyo went crazy, Kirito instantly felt the terrifying murderous intent coming from her.
He didn't dare to gamble and threatened Chiyo with the life of Akashige to make her stop attacking, and decisively retreated.
But while retreating, he decisively used the Wind Release Chakra Blade in his hand to cut all four puppets in half, denying Chiyo, who was approaching, the opportunity to use them
On the other side, the Iwa-nin on the Rock Giant, under the command of Kitsuchi, immediately attacked Chiyo, who was out of control and full of flaws at the moment, and a large number of rock shells formed by the Earth Release Rock Gun technique were fired at Chiyo.
Chiyo had no time to control so many puppets at this time. She decisively controlled two puppets to cover the rear while she continued to control five puppets to pursue Kirito.
The two puppets left behind to cover the rear could not withstand the concentrated attack of Iwagakure, and they were defeated one after the other after holding out for a short while.
But this also gave Chiyo enough time to complete the breakout.
"Hattori Masanari, I never thought you could still be of such great help to us, but it's a pity,"
Seeing this, the Kitsuchi on the Rock Giant sneered and continued to command the Iwa-nin to use the collective Earth Release: Earth Style Wall, forming a huge, thick earthen wall that surrounded the battlefield.
Their original objective was to capture Akashige and Sara from Sunagakure and obtain from them the Sunagakure Hidden Techniques and information.
However, as time passed, their objective had changed, and that was to use the two of them to constantly deplete Chiyo, ultimately achieving the goal of leaving behind Chiyo, a Kage-Level powerhouse of Sunagakure.
As long as they can kill Chiyo here, then all the previous losses will have been worthwhile.
Up until now, their objective has been progressing relatively smoothly, and the sudden interference of Kirito has helped them a lot. Not only did they destroy one of Chiyo's puppets, they also successfully defeated the two powerful puppets in Chiyo's hands, which greatly reduced Chiyo's combat effectiveness.
For Chiyo, compared to killing Kirito, the life of her son is the most important thing.
Chiyo saw Kirito quickly retreating, and she could only glare at him hatefully before quickly rushing to Akashige's side with her five puppets.
With her other hand, she quickly released four Yang Release Chakra lines, which shot quickly towards the severed limbs of Akashige, stopping the bleeding in a miraculous way to prevent him from bleeding to death.
"Mother, I'm dying. Hurry and take Sara and go."
Akashige said with a pale face as he saw Chiyo come to save him.
"Shut up, it's not your place to order me around."
Chiyo snapped angrily with reddened eyes.
How could she, as a mother, let her son go without her? Even though she had long since understood Iwagakure's intention to use Akashige and Sara to drain her power, what could she do? She couldn't get past that hurdle in her heart.
"Sunagakure can do without me, but it cannot do without you, mother. Just listen to me and leave with Sara. Sasori is still young and needs his mother by his side to take care of him. Ahem, ahem..."
Akashige continued, his voice full of pleading.
Afterwards, he coughed non-stop, spitting out a large amount of blood.
The Wind Release Chakra sword just now not only severed his limbs, but the Wind Release Chakra on the sword also penetrated through the wounds and entered his body to cause destruction.
He was now a cripple, and if he didn't undergo surgery in time, he would surely die.
With her mother's medical ninja abilities, she might be able to save him, but there was no time for that now.
"Stop it,"
Chiyo said through her tears.
As a medical ninja, she knew full well how Akashige's injuries looked, and she knew in her heart that her son was probably beyond saving, but she still didn't want to admit that fact.
He is the only son she has left.
"Please, mother, don't let those Iwa-nin have their way. Please take care of Sara and Sasori,"
Akashige pleaded, despite his injuries.
Although the scene of Chiyo and Akashige having this life-or-death parting conversation was certainly heart-wrenching, the Iwa-nin, including Kitsuchi, did not feel the least bit of sympathy for the two of them. They had already killed many of their comrades in this pursuit, basically all of them killed by Chiyo.
Therefore, they must kill Chiyo here.
Under the command of Kitsuchi, the Rock Giants' fists quickly hit Chiyo, and a large number of Iwa-nin also collectively used the Earth Release · Rock Gun technique to attack Chiyo.
At the same time, Kitsuchi had completed the seal at this time.
The ground beneath Chiyo quickly turned into a quagmire.
Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!
"Damn you, Hattori Masanari, damn you, Iwagakure, you're all damned!"
Chiyo cried out in grief.
The next moment, she used her puppet to pick up Sara, who was nearby, and led the other puppets away quickly without looking back.
Her son's request and the responsibility she bore finally led her to make a painful choice she had no choice but to make.
Chiyo moved with incredible speed, and even though she was standing in soft mud, it did not stop her.
She used her body's innate abilities on her body, using the chakra lines to pull her body, using the force of the pull to counteract gravity and increase her speed.
"Damn it, don't let her get away, quickly use the Moving Earth Core to stop her,"
Kitsuchi immediately shouted as he saw Chiyo throw away Akashige and escape, and that he himself was unable to stop her with the Swamp of the Underworld.
Hearing this, the other Iwa-nin immediately used Earth Release: Moving Earth Core, causing the ground to sink and rise, creating maze-like obstacles in Chiyo's escape route.
However, this level of obstacle was no big deal for a Kage-class puppet master with outstanding physical skills. The maze created by Iwa-nin using Earth Release: Moving Earth Core was completely unable to stop her.
Seeing this, all the Kitsuchi and Iwa-nin were furious and went after her.
"Hanzo, what are you doing? As expected, people who aren't on your side are too unpredictable to rely on."
Kirito said with a stern face as he watched Chiyo quickly disappear.
If Hanzo had acted now, with the strength that Hattori Masanari had revealed in his disguise, there would have been a good chance that they could have stopped Chiyo.
Unfortunately, the leader of the Amegakure didn't help as he had wished.
However, he also knew what the leader of Amegakure was worried about, so he didn't continue complaining.
Completely annihilating the Skull Squad, capturing Kakuzu, adding another grievance to the feud between Sunagakure and Iwagakure, and destroying half of the 10 Puppets of Chikamatsu.
This was not a bad result, and it was ultimately too difficult to achieve perfection.
The next moment, Kirito quickly approached, taking Akashige away before he was hit by the Rock Giant's fist, then knocking him unconscious and using the Mystical Palm Technique to heal him.
Chiyo had run away, and this trading partner, who had previously been agreed upon with Iwagakure, could not be allowed to run away again.
