Chapter 137 Kiyoshi: I'll cover the rear
His mental strength far surpasses that of ordinary people.
The current Sasori is not something that can be controlled by ordinary two-tomoe scorpions.
Sunagakure, who spent every day with Sasori, knew this better than anyone else.
Upon seeing Kiyoshi's crimson Sharingan, Yekura immediately looked away to avoid falling for Kiyoshi's genjutsu.
At the same time, she began to believe it to some extent.
Konoha had absolutely no reason to do that.
This will only ignite a war.
"Seiji."
Less than a minute later, Tsunade arrived with Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi.
At the same time, the Anbu of Sunagakure and some ninja clan leaders also arrived here.
Chiyo's face was gloomy.
Hai Bizang's body was hunched over.
Even though he's the younger brother, he looks older than Chiyo.
"Take them down!"
Fujijuro had a fiery temper, and after learning from Chiyo that the Third Kazekage had gone missing, he wanted to take action immediately.
"Do you want to break the alliance?"
"Tsunade shouted."
She leaped from the rooftop to the area in front of Kiyoshi, her rounded thighs suddenly exerting force, her jade-like feet stomping out a large, deep pit in the ground.
Rumble!
A cloud of dust rose up, causing everyone to sway, and the ninjas who lost their footing fell directly to the ground.
Painful feet!
By precisely gathering a large amount of chakra at the chakra points and meridian systems in the feet, one can unleash a powerful destructive force, causing the earth to crack.
"It's Konoha that wants to break the alliance! Where is the Third Kazekage?"
Toujuro is the strongest taijutsu ninja in Sunagakure, hence his fiery temper.
"The Third Kazekage?"
Tsunade frowned slightly and looked at Kiyoshi.
Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai jogged up behind Tsunade, and the group gathered together.
Kiyoshi understood and said:
"Scorpion called me out earlier, saying that he saw I was interested in the scenery of Sunagakure and would take me to a nice place to enjoy the view. But after we got here, he suddenly attacked me."
"Where is Scorpion?"
Chiyo slowly exhaled.
She wanted to know where her grandson was.
"They went out of the village."
This time, it wasn't Kiyoshi who answered, but Yokura.
She approached and quietly told Chiyo everything she had just seen and heard.
This matter is of great importance, and Yekura cannot afford to be careless.
If word got out that Sasori might have killed the Third Kazekage, Sunagakure would immediately descend into chaos.
The group of Sunagakure ANBU and various clan leaders currently surrounding the Konoha ninjas are all from complex and powerful backgrounds, and none of them are ordinary individuals.
"……scorpion."
Upon hearing Yekura's report, a trace of sorrow flashed in Chiyo's eyes.
I confirmed my suspicion.
Sure enough, Scorpion is still too starved for love.
His excessive lack of love led him astray into hatred.
In Fengying's office, the toxins in the blood on the floor were a skill that only she and Scorpion had mastered, besides her.
Even a brat from the Uchiha clan couldn't do that. He's only gone this far.
Did a Chunin control Sasori to kill the Third Kazekage?
No one in the entire ninja world would believe it if I told them.
Even someone with the Sharingan couldn't achieve that level of power.
Kiyoshi is just a two-magatama.
Any ninja with some experience has studied the Sharingan.
I know that the Sharingan can evolve from a single tomoe to a three-tomoe.
As for the Sharingan, which is an even greater level than the three-tomoe Sharingan, that was a realm that Madara Uchiha once possessed.
Chiyo had taught her grandson how to protect himself from the Sharingan, and she believed that Sasori wouldn't fall for it so easily.
After all, Sasori was also a genius of Sunagakure, and his reputation was no less than that of Pakura.
"We believe there is a misunderstanding here, so please ask Tsunade to stay and allow us to investigate for a while."
Chiyo's tone softened considerably.
Normally, she would definitely call Tsunade "Slug Woman".
They must all be left here.
The news of Fengying's disappearance must never be spread.
We need to wait until the Sand Village quickly selects the next Kazekage.
"The Third Kazekage are all dead. Why keep us around instead of chasing Sasori?"
Kiyoshi's words were so surprising that everyone was caught off guard for a moment.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, everyone's faces showed shock.
The strongest Kazekage of all time died silently?
Is it also related to scorpions?
Even Tsunade and her group were shocked when they heard this inside story.
Tsunade quickly realized that Sasori was trying to divert trouble to Konoha.
"Remember to be smart later."
Tsunade, with a solemn expression, pulled Kiyoshi behind her and spoke to the three of them.
Tsunade had never anticipated such an unexpected turn of events during her mission to Sunagakure.
But they can't stay here.
Who knows if this is a play staged by Sunagakure?
She and Kiyoshi are both possessors of bloodline limits, while Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai are also members of the ninja clan.
This could very likely lead to the leakage of bloodline limits and secret techniques, causing incalculable damage to the village.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
Kiyoshi nodded slightly.
"You have mastered the entry: [The Weaver of Words (Green)]".
[Entry: The Clever Weaver (Green)]
[Requirement achieved: Spread rumors and gossip in front of 10 people of high status.]
Progress: (Completed)
[Effect: Reduces the chance of your lies being exposed by 20%, and grants additional persuasive power when dealing with people of lower status.]
[Note: Further advanced levels are available.]
The entry panel chimed, reminding Kiyoshi that he had acquired another entry.
Kiyoshi looked around and saw that the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure and many ninja clan leaders had come here.
It seems they genuinely don't believe that the two-tomoe shards can control Sasori to kill the Third Kazekage.
If it were anyone else, Qing Si wouldn't believe it either.
Only his Sharingan is so special.
"Leave them!"
Ebizo spoke.
This is for Sunagakure!
However, Kiyoshi's hand seals were even faster than Ebizo's.
He had been waiting for Sunagakure to make a move.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Kiyoshi had gathered Fire Release chakra in his chest and throat beforehand, and immediately released it, finishing with Wind Release chakra at the end.
boom!
The fireball expanded rapidly, scattering the dense group of Sand Village ninja.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that Kiyoshi had created an opportunity, Tsunade immediately led her people to retreat.
However, Sunagakure was no fool, and immediately began to give chase.
It was vaguely visible that this was not all the Sand Village ninjas; due to the suddenness of the event, only a small number of ninjas who were closer and faster had arrived.
Deep in the darkness, Sand Village ninjas kept coming.
"Want to leave? Have you asked me first?"
Fujijuro is the strongest taijutsu ninja in Sunagakure, moving with lightning speed.
Tsunade gave a soft shout and threw a punch at Fujijuro.
Fujijuro crossed his arms, intending to take the blow head-on.
The speed he had just generated left him no time to turn.
Bang!
Fujijuro was sent flying backward, his eyes wide with surprise at how much Tsunade's strength had improved since the Second Shinobi World War.
This scene was exactly what Qingsi had expected.
The Tsunade of today is not the Tsunade who will be wasted in twenty or thirty years.
It's worth noting that even at that time, Tsunade clearly had the upper hand when she compared wrist strength with the Fourth Raikage.
Furthermore, Tsunade could even punch Madara's Susanoo, demonstrating her unparalleled strength.
Whenever a swift ninja arrives, Tsunade will send him flying with a single punch.
Kiyoshi could keep up with Tsunade's speed, but Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai couldn't at all.
He grabbed Sarutobi Asuma, tucked her under his arm, and then, with his other hand, placed her on his neck amidst Kurenai's gasp.
"Clamp yourself up."
After saying that, Qing Si sped up.
Sitting on Kiyoshi's shoulders, Kurenai knew that the matter was of great importance, so she obediently wrapped her fair legs around Kiyoshi's neck.
Sarutobi Asuma, head down, could only watch as the yellow sand receded behind him.
"Lady Tsunade, we can go even faster."
Kiyoshi spoke.
The entry for fatigue resistance has just been completed.
His endurance and fatigue resistance have increased significantly, and he can now run with two other people at the same time.
"Yin Seal - Release!"
The diamond-shaped pattern on Tsunade's forehead seemed to bloom, spreading out several black lines.
It sliced across her face and the heart the size of a watermelon, and quickly spread throughout her body.
"Spiritual communication!"
Tsunade released all the chakra she usually stored in the "Yin Seal," and then used this massive amount of chakra to summon a live slug.
boom!
The enormous slug descended from where Tsunade slammed the ground, and more than a dozen Sand Village ninjas were unable to dodge it and were even crushed to death.
"Slug, stop them for me!"
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
The live slug had a delicate voice that didn't match her size. She twisted her body, which was covered in blue and white stripes, and spat out highly corrosive yellow acid to the Sand Village ninjas who looked like little insects.
"Ugh! My hands are melting!"
"Watch out, that's the Slug Woman's summoned beast!"
Chiyo warned the ninjas rushing ahead.
Ten lines have appeared on her fingertips, manipulating numerous puppets.
Due to my own speed, I was unable to catch up.
With the help of the live slug, Kiyoshi and Tsunade increased their speed even further.
Those acidic liquids are the "tongue-tooth sticky acid" of live slugs, which Orochimaru could immediately neutralize even if he was poisoned by them.
If you underestimate her because she always acts as a support-type ninja with animal ears, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later.
And so, Tsunade and Kiyoshi ran ahead, dodging the wind-style ninjutsu released by the Sand Village ninjas behind them.
They also split up into a team to search for scorpions.
They couldn't possibly believe everything Qing Si said.
As long as the Third Kazekage's body is not seen, it cannot be concluded that the Third Kazekage is dead.
Most of the main force was actually searching for the Third Kazekage and Sasori's whereabouts.
Even so, the remaining small portion should not be underestimated.
Before I knew it, it was already dawn.
There were far fewer Sand Village ninjas after that, leaving behind only tough opponents.
"Lady Tsunade, you take Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi and go ahead. I'll stay behind to cover the rear."
Kiyoshi spoke.
"You'll stay behind to cover our retreat?"
Tsunade looked at Kiyoshi with surprise.
Is the Uchiha's Will of Fire so pure?
I remember that the reason why Sarutobi-sensei was able to become Hokage was because he was the first one to stay behind to cover the retreat in front of his second grandfather.
"If we keep running, we'll be caught up sooner or later."
Kiyoshi said.
Both of them had amazing stamina and could travel for long periods of time.
But this is Sunagakure territory, and they have plenty of ways to catch up.
The fact that they could stay in front for several hours was largely due to the live slugs behind them.
The live slug should have reached the limit of its psychic time and returned to the Wet Bone Forest.
It is foreseeable that they will be caught up in two hours.
Moreover, Kiyoshi was with two other people, and their physical exertion was much greater than Tsunade's.
"No, Kiyoshi, if you... if you stay behind to cover our retreat, won't that mean..."
Kurenai sat on Kiyoshi's shoulders, her face filled with self-reproach. If only her stamina and speed were better, then Kiyoshi wouldn't have had to carry her.
She touched Qing Si's face with her two small hands, not wanting Qing Si to go.
