Granny Chiyo directly lifted the cloak over her head, revealing her true face.
Ebizo asked with a face full of confusion, "Why did you come together with the people from Konoha?"
Granny Chiyo answered, "Sasori and I have already decided to accept Konoha's offer. This time, we came with them. On one hand, it's to settle old debts. On the other hand, I'm naturally here to bring you along as well."
Even though the guards standing beside Ebizo had just heard such shocking news, they did not move at all, not even a flicker of expression crossing their faces.
Because these guards were Ebizo's most loyal personal death guards.
They only followed their master's orders and would never think too much or question anything.
That was exactly why Granny Chiyo dared to speak so openly in front of them.
At this moment, Ebizo's heart was still filled with shock.
He never expected that his sister, who had always gone her own way and had such a stubborn personality, would choose to directly join Konoha.
It was far beyond what he had imagined.
But he knew his sister must have a special reason for doing this.
Without showing any change in expression, Ebizo cast a look toward the guard beside him. The guard understood at once, nodded, and with a flicker vanished like a ghost.
Clearly, they were going to check the surroundings to see if anyone was hiding nearby and listening.
Chiyo did not hesitate at all. She said directly to Ebizo, "Konoha has already mastered a resurrection technique. Furido and Reiko, Sasori's parents, can both be brought back."
Hearing this, Ebizo's entire body trembled. On his already wrinkled old face appeared an expression of extreme shock.
Although he had previously guessed that the Fourth Hokage might have been resurrected, that had only been speculation.
Now, hearing such certain news, he was deeply shaken.
Chiyo continued in a serious tone,
"If things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before Konoha rules the entire ninja world."
Then she looked at Ebizo and spoke in a tone that allowed no argument, "Ebizo, come with me to Konoha."
What she did not expect was that Ebizo refused her without hesitation.
"No, Sister. If I stay in Sunagakure, I can give you more help."
In fact, what Ebizo said was true. As a powerful elder in Sunagakure, he now held real authority.
The power in his hands had even surpassed that of the current Kazekage, Rasa.
If he acted as an inside supporter, then if war truly broke out with Sunagakure in the future, the chances of victory would greatly increase, and everything would become much easier.
A thoughtful look flashed through Chiyo's eyes, and then she immediately said, "This time, Konoha will definitely make Sunagakure bleed heavily. After you push these orders through smoothly, you must immediately find a way to fake your death and get out."
"The longer you stay here, the more unnecessary danger you'll face."
Ebizo naturally understood the stakes. He nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, Sister. I'll find the right chance to leave the village as soon as possible. But I'm afraid I won't be able to bring many people out…"
Chiyo gently shook her head, "There's no need. For Konoha now, the little strength we have doesn't matter at all."
"Their power is already strong enough to ignore these things."
"Even without your help later, Konoha can still easily crush Sunagakure."
"You just need to come over safely."
Ebizo was quite surprised inside, but he knew his sister had always been thoughtful and never spoke carelessly.
So he replied without hesitation, "Alright, Sister. I understand."
Then Chiyo continued, "This time, I risked coming back mainly to take back Furido, Reiko, and Karura's bodies. I also need to bring my research materials."
Hearing this, Ebizo did not ask more. He believed his sister must have her reasons.
He suggested, "Sister, it's not convenient for you to move around. It'll attract attention in the village. I'll be the one to retrieve those things."
"You go wait for me at the northern sand cliff ruins."
"Alright, I'll leave it to you."
Chiyo knew her brother's ability very well. After telling him where the things were, she disappeared at once.
Ebizo looked around at the surroundings with some reluctance, then immediately went to handle what Chiyo had asked.
———
In the very center of Sunagakure, although Konoha's people were completely surrounded, the battle had turned completely one-sided.
Konoha's side was chasing down and slaughtering Sunagakure without restraint.
The reason was simple. There were simply too few true experts in Sunagakure.
Facing such powerful Konoha ninja, they could not stand against them.
At this moment, Namikaze Minato on the battlefield moved as if he were in water. Carrying the power of the Nine Tails within him, he had extraordinary sensing ability.
When he sensed a large group of strong enemies approaching, carrying all kinds of deadly weapons and support tools, he immediately gave up continuing to chase the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.
His figure flashed and he appeared behind Sasori of the Red Sand like a ghost.
With a soft "whoosh" cutting through the air, Sasori vanished from the spot as if he had evaporated.
In the next moment, Minato used Flying Thunder God again and appeared without warning behind Konan of the Akatsuki.
With just another brief flash, Konan and Minato both disappeared as well.
Immediately after that, Uchiha Itachi, Makumi, and Shisui also used his Flying Thunder God technique to quickly shift positions.
In just a few seconds, all of Konoha's people boarded Minato's "Flying Thunder God express" and vanished completely.
When all the Konoha ninja had left, the Sunagakure ninja present were all stunned.
They had worked so hard to set up such a tight encirclement, thinking they could capture Konoha in one blow or at least deal heavy damage.
Who would have thought the other side would only fight for a short while, and once they felt a bit tired, turn around and leave without another word, so clean and decisive?
For a moment, the Sunagakure ninja looked around blankly, not knowing what to do.
In the end, their eyes all gathered on the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, whose face was dark and ugly.
But this time, everyone was extremely disappointed in Rasa's performance.
Facing a strong enemy like Namikaze Minato, he did not even dare to confront him head-on.
He had thrown away the Sunagakure ninja without hesitation, fleeing like a coward, even handing command over to Pakura.
