When Chiyo heard Shindai ask her if she didn't want to know the truth about the Third Kazekage's disappearance, a hint of panic involuntarily appeared in her heart.
Chiyo feared the truth was her worst guess.
So Chiyo directly denied, "You couldn't possibly know! You couldn't have been in Hidden Sand Village at that time!"
Shindai chuckled sinisterly, "What? Scared? I couldn't possibly know? Why couldn't I know? The Third Kazekage is already dead, but Sasori isn't. Since he isn't dead, I don't need to be in Hidden Sand Village to get the truth, do I? It's not hard to just ask him when I see him."
Chiyo said in disbelief, "You... you've met Sasori?"
Shindai smiled brightly and said, "Yes, I've met him, and we have a pretty good relationship. After all, he and I are both one-of-a-kind Puppet Masters, so you could say we appreciate each other. He told me the truth of the matter. Do you want to know why he killed Uncle Kaito and left Hidden Sand Village?"
Chiyo looked at Shindai expressionlessly, but her slightly twitching fingers indicated that her mood was not calm at this moment.
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara, hearing Shindai say this, guessed that Shindai was about to start spouting nonsense. He had cursed that Sasori so harshly before, how could they have a good relationship?
Shindai said sinisterly, "Because... Sasori felt that the deaths of his parents were caused by Uncle Kaito, you, Ebizo, and other high-ranking officials. He believed that during the Second Shinobi World War, if it weren't for your negligence in decision-making, Konoha would not have been able to attack the Village at all.
He resented you, but he knew that with his strength alone, he couldn't retaliate against all of you. So he began to research the forbidden Human Puppet, wanting to gain great power to take revenge on you.
Therefore, he needed a powerful Ninja with a Bloodline Limit to turn into a Human Puppet to enhance his strength.
So he set his sights on Uncle Kaito, because Uncle Kaito, with his Magnet Release Bloodline Limit, had earned the title of'Strongest Kazekage in History'. Turning Uncle Kaito into a Human Puppet would give him the greatest increase in strength.
So he deceived Uncle Kaito, and then like this..."
Shindai crooked a finger, and two people appeared from behind the tree.
One was Sasori, and the other was the Third Kazekage.
Chiyo's gaze was somewhat blank as she looked at Sasori and the Third Kazekage.
This Sasori and the Third Kazekage were created by Shindai using Sand Iron clones combined with Transformation Jutsu.
Sasori's palm directly pierced through the Third Kazekage's chest from behind.
Shindai hadn't witnessed it firsthand, so he could only use his imagination.
Seeing'Sasori' pierce through 'Third Kazekage's' chest, Chiyo was momentarily stunned.
Shindai began to break down Chiyo's defenses: "Just like this, Sasori ambushed and killed the Third Kazekage! Tsk tsk tsk, Uncle Kaito must have died feeling quite wronged, right? Sasori is your grandson, and you are the person he trusts most, so by extension, he also trusted Sasori, but Sasori killed him...
Lady Chiyo~ If Sasori weren't your grandson, perhaps Uncle Kaito would have been more cautious and might not have died. Do you think you bear some responsibility for Uncle Kaito's, no, for the death of the Third Kazekage of Hidden Sand Village?
You didn't protect your own children, nor did you protect your own grandson. Your grandson not only researched the forbidden and inhumane Human Puppet but also killed the Kazekage of Hidden Sand Village, and yet you are still living comfortably... Isn't that a bit much?
If I were you and still had a sense of responsibility, I would have committed seppuku immediately to atone for my sins, instead of shamelessly clinging to life.
Lady Chiyo, will you commit seppuku? I can be your second, you know. If you can't bring yourself to do it, I can even do it for you. I'm very considerate; I'll make sure you don't feel any pain and die peacefully~"
Chiyo's fingers were not just twitching now; her entire body was trembling.
Obito asked Kakashi and Rin Nohara in surprise, "That old hag isn't really going to commit seppuku, is she? She's shaking like that."
Rin Nohara frowned, "No way? It's too exaggerated to commit seppuku just from being told a few words."
Kakashi's expression was strange, "If Shindai really talks this old hag into committing seppuku, then Shindai will be bragging to us for a year."
Of course, Chiyo would not be so fragile.
Chiyo's body had stopped trembling, and Chakra threads had already adhered to the Puppet.
"This is all your one-sided story. I can't possibly believe you, a traitor!"
Shindai covered his forehead and laughed loudly, "Chiyo, Chiyo, everyone knows whether what I'm saying is true or not. As a high-ranking official of Hidden Sand Village, you shielded your grandson and harmed a Ninja loyal to the Village. On the day Sasori retaliates against Hidden Sand Village, I will reveal all the truth then!
I will make everyone in Hidden Sand Village, from you, Ebizo, to Rasa, every single one of you, curse you to your very bones! Every person who mentions you will spit and call you a sinner of Hidden Sand Village! Because you are the culprits who caused the death of the Third Kazekage!
You probably won't care, after all, your skin is thicker than a city wall."
The moment Shindai's voice fell, Chiyo suddenly retreated sharply.
And the instant Chiyo retreated, the Puppet she had adhered with Chakra threads suddenly shattered into pieces, and a large number of Sand Iron bullets shot out in all directions at high speed and with immense power.
Because the Sand Iron bullets were too dense and too fast, and there was no good cover for Chiyo to quickly hide, Chiyo could only use Puppet Technique to defend herself.
"Puppet Technique: Machine Light Shield Seal!"
Because Chiyo's hands were injured in battle, they were modified into Puppet hands, allowing her to use Puppet Technique.
Chiyo used the Puppet's mechanisms as a medium to transform her Chakra into a defensive shield, blocking the Sand Iron bullets.
The reason Chiyo's Puppet suddenly shattered and shot out Sand Iron bullets was because while Shindai was talking to Chiyo, he secretly manipulated Sand Iron from underground to stealthily attach to Chiyo's Puppet, then filled the Puppet's body through the cracks.
Chiyo was so shocked by what Shindai said that she didn't notice any Sand Iron entering the Puppet. It was only when she couldn't control the Puppet as she wanted to that Chiyo realized something was wrong and immediately retreated.
Shindai unrolled a scroll and summoned Kannazuki.
Shindai manipulated Kannazuki to charge towards Chiyo.
"Kannazuki: Sand Iron Drizzle!"
A portion of Kannazuki's body was missing Sand Iron, forming countless fine Sand Iron needles that shot rapidly towards Chiyo.
Because Kannazuki's entire body was composed of magnetized Sand Iron imbued with Shindai's Magnet Release, he could directly use Kannazuki to perform some simple Magnet Release Ninjutsu.
Chiyo continued to block these fine Sand Iron needles with Machine Light Shield Seal.
Meanwhile, Kannazuki had already moved behind Chiyo and formed a blade out of Sand Iron, slashing towards her.
Chiyo maintained Machine Light Shield Seal, rolled to dodge Kannazuki's slash, and increased the distance.
Chiyo looked at Shindai with a serious expression, "The Sandaime said your Ninjutsu talent was very poor, and your Puppet manipulation skills were also very poor. Now it doesn't seem like it at all. With your strength, how could the Sandaime bear to let you go undercover in Konoha?"
"Heh, why don't you go to hell and ask Uncle Kaito yourself?"
