The friction between Scorpion and Yubi was just a minor episode.

Soon, the people in the stronghold began to wait patiently...

Waiting for intelligence personnel to send messages from the battlefield.

Yubi no longer needed to treat the wounded... because as time went on and the war escalated, those Sand Village soldiers who fought with injuries had no chance of being sent back. If they were injured again, they would almost certainly die.

Moreover, the manpower on Sunagakure's side is also dwindling... there's no one left to transport the wounded.

If they retreat, it's unknown how many of the few dozen people remaining in the stronghold will survive.

"Get ready to move."

At this moment, an elder from Sunagakure spoke up.

"Yubi, Sasori... and you two medical ninjas, as well as some young people, you go first."

"We're afraid we won't be able to get back to the village alive. In that case, let's do our best to buy you some time."

The man's voice carried a sense of nonchalance and determination.

Yubi remained silent.

Because this is currently the best option.

It is also the only option.

Even underground, they could sense the battle outside growing increasingly intense, and they would hear noises from time to time... This also meant that this last stronghold in the canyon was at risk of being exposed at any moment.

It's better to leave now than to be confronted by the enemy.

According to previous intelligence reports, it has been confirmed that the frontline defenses of the border have been breached by the main force of the Rain Village, and the number of enemies entering the vicinity will only increase.

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances and began to gather their limited supplies.

The Sand Village, prepared to face their deaths, discussed their ambush route and battle plan.

They escorted Yubi and the others to safety.

However, just as everyone was preparing to retreat.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the entrance of the underground passage.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar face came into view.

The person who came was none other than Granny Chiyo.

She was accompanied by an entire medical team.

Reinforcements have arrived!

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone in the stronghold showed expressions of joy and relief, as if they had survived a disaster.

Yubi also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get them treated immediately!"

Upon seeing their disheveled state, a Sand Village ninja immediately ordered his men to begin work.

Immediately, a large number of medical ninjas carrying backpacks rushed to each of the wounded.

Grandma Chiyo saw her grandson, but instead of going over, she came to Yubi, smiled, and patted the boy's head with satisfaction. "Yubi, right? I remember you... You did a good job. Thanks to you this time."

When Yubi was interning at the village hospital, she met Granny Chiyo. Yubi's medical knowledge and insights left a deep impression on the old woman, who believed that Yubi was a promising talent and that with proper training, she would definitely become an outstanding medical ninja in the future.

At that time, Chiyo only thought that Yubi, at his age, had a wealth of medical knowledge and unique insights into some treatment plans, nothing more.

I didn't see any further talent in him.

Unexpectedly, this little guy also demonstrated exceptional work efficiency on the battlefield, perfectly showcasing the importance of a medical ninja.

This is no ordinary "talent".

Whether one can become a powerful medical ninja ultimately depends on whether they can be useful on the battlefield.

Having experience and having practical skills are two different things.

Chiyo also knew that Yubi knew about magic, but she didn't ask about it at the moment.

Then, Chiyo walked over to Sasori's side and examined his injuries with a complicated expression.

"Amegakure and Konoha have made peace... That old man with the breathing tube is still angry about losing to us before, and he plans to make a comeback this time. He thinks he doesn't need to worry about Konoha and can deal with us with all his might... But this time, he is destined to swallow the bitter pill."

After a short while, Granny Chiyo explained the current battle situation and the intelligence she had gathered from the village.

The old man she was referring to was undoubtedly Hanzo the Salamander.

This wasn't the first time the two had fought. Hanzo had even given Granny Chiyo a nickname: Puppet Granny.

During the most intense period of the Ninja Wars, Amegakure and Sunagakure fought several battles.

If Konoha's powerful reserves and combat strength left Amegakure helpless, then...

Therefore, Sunagakure is somewhat of a natural counter to Amegakure.

First, Hanzo's prized poison gas was countered by Granny Chiyo... Then there's the Sand Village's unique puppeteers, who are difficult for the Amegakure ninja to deal with.

Including the Third Kazekage's bloodline limit ability, which, like Hanzo's poison gas, also causes large-scale area damage on the battlefield, these are things that Amegakure cannot solve.

Since he couldn't harm Konoha, Hanzo resigned himself to his fate.

But Hanzo is probably a little unwilling to give up since he hasn't been able to conquer the Land of Wind.

Unfortunately... while the overall combat strength of Sunagakure cannot compare to that of Konoha, it is more than enough to deal with Amegakure.

Of course, the most crucial thing was that Chiyo countered Hanzo's killing move.

Otherwise, Hanzo's poison gas would be an invincible weapon on the battlefield.

Even without Chiyo, the Third Kazekage, hailed as the strongest Kazekage of all time, might not have been able to achieve the desired effect.

As Granny Chiyo said, the Third Kazekage will personally take action this time, determined to deliver a crushing blow to Amegakure.

The Third Kazekage has already gone to the front lines.

What needs to be done now is to restore the defensive forces at the front. Once the gaps at the front are filled, the enemy will naturally be unable to penetrate deep into the rear.

Granny Chiyo made a special trip here with her entourage, mainly to see Yubi and Sasori.

"it's over."

Hearing this, Yubi was completely relieved.

He knew very well that even if the Third Kazekage didn't come, as long as the village's high-ranking officials, led by Granny Chiyo, were present, Amegakure would have a hard time gaining an advantage.

At that moment, he felt incredibly relieved.

Then, the pent-up fatigue and weakness instantly overwhelmed my entire body.

With a thud.

Yubi closed her eyes and fainted.

"Chiyo-sama."

A Sunagakure ninja immediately helped Yubi up from the ground and looked at Chiyo.

"Let him get some rest."

Chiyo sighed.

She could tell that Yubi was just too tired.

"Oh."

But seeing Yubi unconscious, Scorpion suddenly smiled gloatingly.

His smile immediately surprised Granny Chiyo.

Noticing the old woman's gaze, Scorpion immediately resumed his expressionless demeanor.

"..."

Grandma Chiyo.

Since Sasori's parents passed away, Chiyo hadn't seen a smile on Sasori's face for a long time.

Even though that smile just now was a little mischievous... it was still a genuine expression of Scorpion's feelings.

At least I'm no longer closing myself off.

Chiyo's gaze lingered between Yubi and Sasori for a moment, lost in thought.

But soon, Chiyo didn't stay long either. She gave Sasori a few instructions and then left with her men.

She had to rush to the front lines.

Rumor has it that Hanzo, that old devil... has also set off.
