Chiyo quickly flipped through the rest of the information in disbelief, and at last roughly understood the chain of events that had happened after she was captured.
Especially when she saw Rasa swearing up and down that he had personally killed Uchiha Rengoku.
Chiyo was so shocked her eyes went wide, and she could not speak for a long while.
She simply could not understand how someone as shameless as Rasa could exist in this world.
Back then in that battle, Rasa had been like a stray dog, chased everywhere by Uchiha Rengoku, running for his life.
And now he actually dared to brag without shame that he had successfully slain such a powerful enemy. It truly made Chiyo both angry and amused.
But after thinking it over for a moment, Chiyo immediately understood the reason behind it.
It was nothing more than a temporary measure Rasa had taken under the current situation.
The purpose was simply to cover up the truth of his defeat.
Even though she had no idea where Uchiha Rengoku had gone or how he had disappeared.
One thing was certain, there was absolutely no way Rasa had killed him.
Judging from the strength Rasa had shown so far, he simply did not have that kind of ability.
You had to know, whether it was Iwagakure or Kumogakure, both had already been scared out of their wits.
They only dared to probe Konohagakure through relatively mild methods like economic warfare.
As for Konoha, they had been calmly observing the other side's moves, watching as Iwagakure and Kumogakure hesitated and did not dare to take the bait.
In the end, they decided to reveal their powerful trump card, Minato.
A Hokage who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, plus four powerful figures with the Mangekyo Sharingan.
With such a terrifying lineup, who would not be afraid?
It was precisely because of that that Konoha had the confidence to directly demand that personnel from the three ninja villages come.
Clearly, they were preparing to harvest the fruits of victory from this war in one fell swoop.
While Chiyo was lost in thought, Tsunade had already brought her to the Uchiha clan's territory.
Ever since Uchiha Rengoku became clan leader, this place had gone through multiple large scale expansions.
Because of the growing needs of development, not only were all the roads replanned and repaved, even the layout of the houses had been carefully redesigned.
The entire area gave off a clean, bright, and grand atmosphere that was refreshing to the eyes.
Chiyo's gaze swept around, and she could not help sighing inwardly. Compared to this place, the buildings in Sunagakure in the past were worlds apart.
At that moment, Uchiha Rinjin's figure flashed, and he quickly arrived beside Tsunade, respectfully reporting, "Lady Tsunade, Akatsuki's Sasori and Deidara have arrived."
In the past, the one responsible for patrolling the outer perimeter of the Uchiha clan and handling external affairs had always been Makumi.
However, ever since Makumi successfully advanced to become a Mangekyo Sharingan user.
Most of the duties that once belonged to her had been handed over to Rinjin.
In truth, the Uchiha clan did not have that many matters to deal with on a daily basis.
But in important situations like this, it was usually Rinjin who would personally come to report.
Hearing this, Tsunade could not help but feel puzzled and asked:
"What is Deidara here for?", After all, she had only asked Konan to inform Sasori to come.
Facing Tsunade's question, Rinjin's expression looked a little strange. After hesitating briefly, he replied, "As far as I know, Deidara came specifically to look for the clan leader."
Tsunade clearly knew nothing about this. After thinking for a moment, she said, "In that case, go inform Orochimaru and let him decide how to handle it."
Actually, Tsunade had no idea what kind of trap Rengoku had set for Deidara.
To avoid accidentally disrupting Rengoku's carefully planned arrangement.
She decisively threw this troublesome matter to Orochimaru to deal with.
Hearing Tsunade's instructions, Rinjin quickly responded, "Understood, Lady Tsunade. I will have someone lead Sasori to the meeting room first."
Tsunade nodded slightly, approving his arrangement.
After Rinjin bowed and withdrew, Tsunade turned to Chiyo and said, "Elder Chiyo, since Sasori is here, bring the materials with you as well."
Chiyo's expression showed a trace of relief and calm acceptance.
'Sasori, this time you can finally wait for them.'
———
Inside the spacious and bright meeting room.
Sasori, dressed in a black robe with red clouds, sat there calmly.
After that shocking great battle last time, many new ideas had surfaced in Sasori's mind.
So without hesitation, he dismantled Hiruko, which had accompanied him for many years.
What he was using now was a puppet body crafted from his own body.
Although Sasori had tried to stop Rengoku from pursuing Kumogakure's Eight Tails last time, Konoha and they had still continued cooperating afterward.
That was enough to prove that Rengoku had not taken the matter to heart.
Moreover, during this period, Rengoku had mysteriously disappeared without a trace, and Sasori had been relatively relaxed.
At that moment, a faint click broke the silence in the room.
Sasori subconsciously turned his head, but the figure that came into view made his eyes widen instantly.
"Old hag, what are you doing here?"
The words blurted out of Sasori's mouth were filled with undisguised shock, along with a trace of joy that was hard to notice.
You had to know, in that brutally cruel ninja war before, Sunagakure had suffered heavy casualties. Sasori had even once believed that Chiyo had already died.
When Chiyo saw that Sasori was appearing in his own puppet body, her expression also became a little dazed.
After all, Sasori still looked exactly the same as he had back then.
"Sasori…"
Chiyo softly murmured his name, her voice so light it was as if only she could hear it.
Then, as if waking up from a distant dream, she slowly came back to her senses.
Chiyo took a deep breath, trying to calm the emotions surging in her heart.
She quietly gazed at the Sasori before her and did not immediately answer his question.
Instead, she silently reached out and placed the thick stack of documents in her hand in front of him.
"This is what you have been waiting for all along."
Chiyo's tone was gentle and loving, her eyes seeming to pass through the long twenty years of time.
As if she saw once again the little grandson who had once waited eagerly for his parents to come home.
Hearing Chiyo's words, Sasori let out a puzzled hum.
"Hmm?"
He looked at Chiyo in surprise, not understanding why she was suddenly doing this.
However, even though his heart was full of curiosity and doubt, Sasori still quickly reached out and picked up the documents Chiyo had placed on the table.
