Chapter 113 Chiyo: What did you just say about a white-haired brat with a knife? (Third update)
really.
Upon hearing Yekura's words, Ishikawa Tetsuyan's face darkened horribly. He slammed his fist heavily on the table, making a dull thud: "Useless! You can't even handle a few brats, and you left one of your team members in Konoha—don't you know that Konoha has a secret technique for probing memories?"
"This means our entire surprise attack plan might have to be scrapped and redone. Can you afford such a huge loss?"
'
'
Ye Cang remained silent.
At this moment, a Jonin advisor coughed and said, "Lord Ishikawa, there's nothing we can do about it. According to Yekura, the opponent is very likely a disciple of the 'Yellow Flash,' and the technique used in the battle might be the 'Flying Thunder God.' If that's the case, then the mission's failure is inevitable."
"Let's just remember this mistake for now and let Ye Cang make amends in the future."
That statement was originally quite fair.
But Ishikawa Tetsuyan frowned: "What about the 'Yellow Flash'? Does his presence mean we Sunagakure won't have to fight? Not to mention, Pakura hasn't even had close contact with that person yet, and it's still uncertain whether he's Minato Namikaze."
Just as Ishikawa Tetsuyan was about to continue his attack.
An aged voice suddenly came from the shadows in the corner: "Wait, what were you talking about? What, 'Konoha's white-haired brat'?"
Upon hearing the voice, Ishikawa Tetsuyan immediately fell silent, and together with the other staff officers in the tent, held their breath and respectfully looked toward the source of the sound.
Yecang also looked in the direction of the sound.
An elderly woman dressed in traditional Sunagakure attire slowly rose from a chair in the shadows. She was about fifty years old, with gray hair and a face etched with the marks of time and the elements. She was none other than Chiyo, a highly respected elder of Sunagakure and a master of puppetry and poison techniques!
At this time, Chiyo was still in her prime, far from being as old as she was during the Shippuden era. With the Third Kazekage missing, she could essentially be seen as the acting 3.5th Kazekage.
Sasori's defection did not affect her status.
After all, this incident had only just occurred, and Sasori's assassination attempt on the Third Kazekage had not yet been exposed. In the eyes of most Sand Ninja, he was still the only candidate for the Fourth Kazekage, so the matter of "defection" had not been fully determined.
In theory, as long as they find the person and say, "The child was just playing around and didn't know any better," no one would dare to say anything given Chiyo's prestige. So, although Chiyo is anxious now, she's not worried, and she won't give up because of this.
this time.
Chiyo had only come to listen to Ishikawa Tetsuyan and the others' discussion and offer suggestions, without intending to interfere. However, she noticed a noteworthy detail in Yekura's words: "Your name is Yekura, right?"
"You just said that the white-haired brat from Konoha uses a short sword? What kind of sword is it, and how short is it? What are his swordsmanship techniques like?"
"?"
Ye Cang was slightly taken aback.
What kind of question is this?
However, given the other party's status as a Sand Village elder, she could only honestly reply: "It's about this long, and its style is slightly different from ordinary knives."
"As for his swordsmanship style, it looks extremely fierce and sharp, and there's a feeling that he can anticipate my every move, as if all my actions are transparent to him —"
As Yekura narrated.
Chiyo's brows gradually furrowed.
picture!
so similar!
Ever since seven or eight years ago, during the Second Shinobi World War, when her son and daughter-in-law, Sasori's parents, were killed by Konoha's "White Fang," Chiyo has harbored a deep hatred for White Fang. She has spent a lot of time collecting information about his swordsmanship, thinking that one day she can avenge her son herself.
Previously, there were some rumors that Sakumo Hatake had died.
Chiyo didn't quite believe it.
Therefore, as a pro-war elder, she followed the vanguard to the front line, perhaps with the intention of personally investigating the situation.
But now————
The style of the "White Fang Short Sword" is almost identical, and the swordsmanship is also the same. Could it be that the white-haired brat named "Yu" is Hatake Sakumo's son? "Hatake Yu?"
"But this girl said there was another white-haired brat wearing a mask, also wielding a short sword—did the Hatake family send both of their sons to the battlefield at once?"
If that's the case—
That's truly double happiness!
If Sakumo Hatake could kill her son and daughter-in-law back then, then Chiyo can kill his two sons now!
Thinking of this, Chiyo's previously calm eyes instantly sharpened, becoming like the tip of a poisoned needle, and her voice carried a long-suppressed hatred: "Good, very good! I never expected to encounter his descendant here!"
"————?"
Yecang was a little stunned.
After a while, she realized: Wait a minute—could it be that the white-haired guy she encountered was using "Hatake Sword Technique"?
That----
Not surprising then.
The name "Konoha's White Fang" is very famous in Sunagakure. After all, many people in Sunagakure were killed by this swordsmanship master during the last Shinobi World War, including Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, that famous elite puppeteer couple. This is a blood feud known to everyone in Sunagakure!
Yekura was speechless at the fact that she had randomly chosen a team and ended up encountering the son of "Konoha's White Fang" and the disciple of "Yellow Flash".
the other side.
Ishikawa Tetsuyan also gasped.
He could look down on Minato Namikaze, who was still a young man, but he couldn't look down on "White Fang." The latter was to Sunagakure what Zhang Liao was to Eastern Wu in another world. It might be an exaggeration to say that he could stop a child from crying at night, but he was definitely a person who would make people turn pale at the mention of his name.
"So, Yecang's operation this time was actually an accidental discovery of important intelligence? We didn't notice the existence of this team beforehand. If we had proceeded according to the original plan, we might have encountered some unexpected setbacks."
"————That's right."
Chiyo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her burning hatred: "Minato Namikaze is indeed a very powerful ninja, although he's not as strong as White Fang yet," but he certainly poses a great threat to us. Moreover, Jiraiya is currently in Wildfire Castle, and to defeat them, we need to proceed cautiously."
Unfortunately, Scorpion is not here.
Otherwise, with the two of them working together, Chiyo was confident she could set up a deadly trap to forcibly eliminate Hatake Sakumo's two "descendants," and it wouldn't be impossible for her to even eliminate either Jiraiya or Namikaze Minato!
Thinking this, Chiyo turned to look at Yekura, a scrutinizing glint in her eyes: "Yekura, do you want to avenge your humiliation today?"
"!"
