Monzaemon is already in his seventies this year. In his old and frail state, this first-generation puppet master has long since ceased to interfere with anything in Sunagakure Village.
Except for the last time, at the request of the Third Kazekage, Monzaemon went out once and held a meeting with the ninjas of Amegakure Village at Shenying Hill that was eventually disrupted by Lei Luo...
In the past two years, Monzaemon has not left any rumors in the ninja world. Ever since he passed the Chikamatsu Ten to Chiyo, he has completely disappeared without a trace, as if he has died of old age.
But the real situation is naturally clear to the senior management of Sunagakure:
Monzaemon is not dead, he is just tired of the turmoil in the ninja world, and because he is old, he chooses to live in seclusion in the depths of the desert, concentrating on studying the higher realm of puppetry, in order to spend the rest of his life.
.
It’s also for the sake of enjoying your old age.
In fact, the Third Kazekage had long wanted to send Monzaemon to the battlefield, but he had never been able to do so.
After all, Monzaemon is senior and has a high status. In addition, as the originator of puppet masters, he enjoys a high reputation and status in Sunagakure Village.
in this case……
The fact is: the Third Kazekage actually cannot change Monzaemon, and the latter may not always give him the Kazekage face.
But now, it's different...
With Chiyo coming forward, as Chiyo was a disciple of Monzaemon, and with this relationship as a bond, the Third Kazekage felt that Monzaemon had to come out again this time.
"Elder Chiyo...I'll trouble you this time. I will always remember the contribution you, and Elder Monzaemon have made to the village."
After saying these words sincerely, the matter was settled, so the Third Kazekage turned to look at Ye Cang.
Seeing that Ye Cang seemed to be asleep, the Third Kazekage lightly knocked on the table, but Ye Cang... still had no response.
The scene was quiet for a moment.
Without any trace, he turned his attention to Chiyo again. The Third Kazekage coughed, as if to hide the embarrassment on his face, and then asked calmly:
"How long will it take for the drought to reach here?"
Also looking away from Ye Cang, Chiyo sighed inconspicuously and replied: "It will take at least about half a month. It's not like you don't know the physical condition of Senior Drought, Sandai."
"Okay, then just wait..."
Frowning, the Third Kazekage pondered for a while. He seemed to be thinking about something or making some kind of trade-off secretly. His expression sometimes flashed with hesitation, and sometimes flashed with a faint struggle.
Chiyo noticed the change in the expression of the third generation Kazekage, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and asked softly: "Sandai, are you not sure whether you should transfer the blessing?"
It was no surprise to the Third Kazekage that Chiyo revealed his thoughts.
After all, the current situation was clear to everyone present, and there were only a few high-end combat forces in Sunagakure Village. It was very clear what issues he would consider at this time.
"Share the blessings..."
The power of the tailed beast...
The Third Kazekage really wanted to take advantage of it in order to counter the huge pressure exerted on them by the Leiluo Group and reverse the unfavorable situation that Sunagakure was currently facing.
However, the Third Kazekage is really... somewhat hesitant as to whether he should be the first to open this "Pandora's Box", increase the intensity of the war again, or even start a full-scale "nuclear war".
"Forget it, let's wait a little longer..."
After he recovers from his injuries, if Monzaemon, wind erosion, and drought are added to the situation, the Third Kazekage feels that Sunagakure may not have the strength to confront Konoha again.
"That's it, let's break up the meeting."
A few minutes later, he walked out of the meeting tent, walked through the dead silence of the camp, and returned to his residence.
Standing at the entrance of the camp, Chiyo paused.
Raising his head and looking up at the night sky, Chiyo stood quietly for a long time, his eyes empty and confused.
At this moment, her face seemed to have become much older, and her back looked extremely lonely.
One minute, two minutes...
It wasn't until more than half an hour passed that a soft call came from behind: "Mother-in-law."
Turning his head slightly, he saw his daughter-in-law as expected. Chiyo responded expressionlessly:
"It's a spider...you..."
Before Chiyo could finish speaking, the spider rudely interrupted Chiyo's words. She opened a pair of red eyes and gritted her teeth with hatred on her face:
"Mother-in-law, I asked the third generation about that ninja of the Aburame clan. His name is Aburame Shiguro, and he is a subordinate of Jueking..."
Unexpectedly, Chiyo's eyebrows suddenly frowned tightly, and he roughly interrupted the spider's words and roared loudly:
"do not talk!"
This loud roar seemed to stun Zhidao directly. Her lips trembled slightly, but she could not utter a complete sentence.
Seeing the spider's appearance, Chiyo sighed inwardly, but still pretended to be strong on the surface and said: "So what if I let you know the name of your enemy? Are you capable of revenge?"
"Well... Aburame Shiguro's strength, I'm afraid even my teacher wouldn't dare to claim a guaranteed victory. If you go to find him, you will only end up ruining your life in vain."
Perhaps Chiyo's words were too hurtful, or perhaps the spider's nerves had been stimulated to the extreme at this moment. She immediately took a deep breath and also roared:
"Then can I just let it go like this?!"
"It was my husband and your son who died, but now you are telling me the strength of the enemy..."
"Is this a matter of strength?!"
"Mother-in-law, if you are afraid of death, just pretend you didn't see it!"
"I, Spider...even if I risk my life, I will still avenge my husband!"
Seeing Spider's messy look, Chiyo was already in a bad mood, and now she became even more angry. She simply said bluntly: "Spider, if you insist on dying, then I can't control you..."
"But don't forget, Xie is only a three-year-old child now. He no longer has a father. Do you still want him to have no mother?"
Chiyo's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Spider's heart, leaving her speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
The atmosphere between the two of them was silent for a while.
Seeing that the spider finally calmed down and stopped shouting about revenge, Chiyo softened his expression and advised in a sincere tone:
"Zhu, I know you feel aggrieved. To be honest, how can I feel any better?"
"But the war between us and Konoha, and all the hatred caused by it, do not belong to the category... that can be solved with personal power..."
After finishing speaking, Chiyo changed his tone, and with a sincere and tempting attitude, he enlightened the spider from another angle:
"You have to know that Konoha is now surrounded by enemies. We, Iwagakure, Amegakure, and Kirigakure are all attacking Konoha."
"Under this situation, as long as we, Sunagakure, can hold on and contain some of Konoha's forces here, then there will definitely be progress on the allies' side."
"At that time, as long as the coalition forces win and Konoha is defeated, think about it, how can the eggs be destroyed after the nest is overturned?"
"Our enemy Shiguro Aburame, and that hateful bastard Lei Luo, no one can escape the corresponding sanctions."
