"Satoru Hyūga, I heard you had a conflict with the main family members in the camp yesterday?"
"It's a small matter."
Orochimaru let out a raspy laugh.
"If you need it, I can make them disappear. Don't worry, no one will notice."
"Accidents are quite common during the war."
Satoru Hyūga looked at him calmly.
"No need, Orochimaru. I have my own plans."
"Really?" Orochimaru let out a raspy smile.
Satoru Hyūga's eyes flickered imperceptibly. As Satoru Hyūga continuously showed his strength and abilities, Orochimaru's attitude was also changing.
Previously, he treated Satoru Hyūga like an investment and research subject. Now, there was a slight feeling that he regarded Satoru Hyūga as the leader.
Just as Satoru Hyūga and Orochimaru were chatting, the door of the tent was suddenly pushed open.
"Lord Orochimaru, the scouts have detected an attack by the Sand ninja troops!"
"Really? How many ninjas have they sent?"
Orochimaru asked in a raspy voice.
"About 3000, and the figures of Rasa and Chiyo have been spotted."
"Is that so?"
Orochimaru suddenly let out a raspy laugh.
Thinking of the rumors in the camp.
"Chiyo actually has the courage to go to the battlefield. She really lives up to her reputation as a ninja well - known in the ninja world since the Second Shinobi World War."
He suddenly looked at Satoru Hyūga strangely, seemingly thinking about something.
Was he considering what kind of dance to let Chiyo perform this time?
Planning to try something new?
Satoru Hyūga smiled helplessly.
"Lord Orochimaru, the top priority is to quickly gather the troops for a counter - attack. Since Rasa dared to initiate an attack, he must be well - prepared."
"You're right."
Orochimaru took a slight breath, his face became serious, and he gave a solemn order.
In the war between the two ninja villages, it was almost impossible to avoid the scouts' detection, except when using the tactic of small - scale elite troops conducting roundabout sneak attacks.
Not long after the large - scale troops from Sunagakure set out, the Konoha troops had already received the intelligence.
The ninja troops quickly assembled and went to face the enemy in a mighty manner.
It was still the hilly area of the previous battle. There were still traces of ninjutsu used by the ninjas of both sides on the ground, and some of the corpses that the Sand ninjas didn't have time to take away when they retreated were still lying there.
Rasa took a deep breath, trying to suppress the humiliation and anger welling up in his heart.
In this battle, no matter what.
He must win!
Sunagakure was no match for Konoha in terms of resource reserves and hematopoietic ability.
As the war had reached this stage, almost all the elite of the village had been sent out. Only by becoming the victorious side could they gain more bargaining chips when signing the armistice agreement!
Only in this way could his position as the Fourth Kazekage be stabilized.
Thinking of this, he glanced slightly at an old man behind him.
That person seemed to be a monk, wearing a cassock, which formed a sharp contrast with the solemn ninja troops around him.
"Bunsuke, how is the situation with Shukaku?"
"It's still as restless as before."
Bunsuke's tone showed no emotion.
Rasa furrowed his brows slightly.
"Bunsuke, I know you don't like killing, but this is war. We have no choice."
"The future of the village is in your hands."
Rasa stared deeply at Bunsuke.
A look of struggle appeared on Bunsuke's face, but soon, he regained his previous calmness, as calm as a still lake.
"I understand. When the right time comes, I'll release Shukaku."
"Good."
A slight smile tugged at the corner of Rasa's mouth.
The blue and yellow torrents clashed on the hillock.
It was almost the same as the beginning of the previous battle.
Large - scale Wind Release and Fire Release ninjutsu collided, and scattered sparks drifted down. The Sand ninja and Konoha ninja engaged in battle again.
This time, however, was different.
During the fight, one could occasionally hear the Konoha ninja taunting with a hint of mockery.
"Your village's advisor to the Kage, Chiyo... is really something (sarcastically)!"
"Kuso! Damn Konoha bastards!"
"How dare they humiliate us like this..."
The Sand ninja with bloodshot eyes went berserk and launched a crazy attack.
Under the control of anger, they lost their rhythm and were gradually defeated by the Konoha ninja.
Even the experienced Sand ninja Jonin were faced with such taunts. They couldn't help but breathe more heavily.
In a life - or - death battle, such a small mistake could cost one's life.
Although the number of Sand ninja was still greater than that of Konoha ninja, the balance of victory seemed to be tilting towards Konoha.
"Where has Rasa hidden?"
After slaying the surrounding Sand ninja Jonin, Orochimaru couldn't help but slightly turn his snake - like eyes, searching for traces of Rasa on the battlefield.
Rasa's ninjutsu was very distinctive. Normally, as long as he made a move, he would be easily detected.
Not showing up until now, he probably had some scheme in mind.
Orochimaru had a vague suspicion in his heart.
But he wasn't panicked. Or rather, the absolute restraint of Satoru Hyūga on the abilities of Sunagakure was enough to bolster his confidence.
Just then, a cold shout came.
"You're facing me!"
Along with the voice, a familiar figure appeared, accompanied by ten Puppet giants.
Chiyo.
She was glaring coldly at Orochimaru.
In her hand, she was still controlling the ten Puppets of the Chikamatsu Ten Corps.
"Haha, I didn't expect it to be Chiyo! Why... not going to avenge yourself on Satoru?"
Orochimaru let out a hoarse laugh.
Chiyo's face froze.
She gritted her teeth slightly.
"Orochimaru, I didn't expect you to resort to verbal attacks."
"Haha... I just find it interesting. You're still controlling these ten Puppets. Aren't you afraid of repeating what happened before? Being controlled by the Puppets instead?"
"You..."
Chiyo took a deep breath, knowing that she mustn't get angry.
This was related to whether she could take her revenge!
Rasa was hiding among the Sand ninja troops, searching for traces of Satoru Hyūga. She had to hold off Orochimaru here.
As for Minato Namikaze, Yakura could deal with him.
This good - looking guy and cute girl had become old rivals in this war.
After all, having experienced hundreds of battles of all sizes, Chiyo, being highly experienced, immediately composed herself.
Ten Puppets suddenly sprang into action, attempting to encircle Orochimaru.
After she went back last time, she made second - stage modifications to the Puppets.
Almost all the replaceable metals had been replaced.
Orochimaru didn't seem to intend to engage in a long - drawn - out battle. He leaped backward and jumped out of the Puppets' encirclement.
Almost simultaneously, a figure plummeted and sent the oncoming Puppets flying.
Amid the billowing dust, a familiar voice rang out, causing Chiyo's pupils to contract slightly.
"Chiyo, you seem to have forgotten about me."
As the dust settled, Tsunade stood there imposingly, arching an eyebrow at Chiyo.
"I heard yours... is quite something?"
"Tsunade..."
Chiyo gritted her teeth, making a grinding sound.
"Aren't you..."
"Damn it, was the intelligence wrong?"
"Well, it can't be said to be entirely wrong."
Tsunade patted the dust off her sleeves.
"It can only be said that Satoru Hyūga's skills are too good."
She flashed Chiyo a faint smile.
"Actually, I didn't expect such a young guy to have such a high level of medical expertise."
"Again, it's him!"
Chiyo felt as if something had clenched her heart tightly.
Her eyes were slightly bloodshot.
Gritting her teeth, she said, "That bastard..."
