"Um... Tsukino, how long will it take for Aoyama to heal up?"

"Lord Sakumo, he's seriously hurt. Besides the wound on his back, he was poisoned too. His condition is really bad."

"My Medical Ninjutsu - Mystical Palm Technique can only stabilize his condition for now. He still needs further treatment."

Tsukino's hands were covered in green chakra. It was an advanced ninjutsu within the Medical Ninjutsu - Mystical Palm Technique.

By releasing chakra from the palms, one could enhance the healing ability of wounds or affected areas. It was a healing ninjutsu.

The amount of chakra had to be adjusted according to the severity of the illness, so not many medical ninjas knew how to perform it. Moreover, excessive chakra output could disrupt the normal circulatory system in the patient's body and make the patient fall into a coma. It could effectively treat not just external injuries but also internal ailments.

"The Iron Sand of the Third Kazekage, eh..."

Suddenly, Chiyama Gekko seemed to have an idea and started rummaging through Yugura's body haphazardly.

"What the hell are you up to, Chiyama!"

His actions were sternly rebuked by Sakumo Hatake.

But Chiyama Gekko didn't stop. Instead, he searched Yugura's body even more carefully. The serious expression on his face made it obvious that he wasn't groping her.

"Damn it! Just as I thought!"

"I knew how they managed to catch up!"

"This is goddamn Iron Sand powder!!"

Suddenly, Chiyama Gekko ripped open the clothes around Yugura's waist, and a small patch of black powder immediately appeared in front of everyone.

The instant he saw the black powder, Sakumo Hatake's expression darkened right away.

"This is the Iron Sand of the Third Kazekage."

"Since Yugura has this on her, it must have been deliberately planted by the Third Kazekage. That way, he can use his Magnet Release to keep tabs on his subordinates' positions."

"When I used the Flying Thunder God Technique to directly take Yugura out of the village, it must have tipped him off. That's why they were able to organize the pursuit so fast!"

Chiyama Gekko's expression was also extremely grim.

After all, the character and behavior of the Third Kazekage were never mentioned in the original story.

But now it seemed that calling this guy the strongest Kazekage was definitely no exaggeration. Just this kind of guile was something other Kazekages didn't possess.

Damn!

"Cough cough cough... Lord Sakumo, take them and get out of here."

"I can still hold them back for a while."

Ken Aoyama was well aware of his own situation. In this current situation, sacrificing him was the safest choice.

After all, they were already close to the edge of the desert. As long as they left him behind, the others would surely be able to get away.

"Don't talk nonsense. I have no intention of abandoning my teammates."

"Since we went on this mission together, we'll return together."

Chiyama Gekko just stared at the scene in front of him.

He knew that history was still playing out before his eyes. It was precisely because of Sakumo Hatake's way of thinking that he would later bear the brunt of the village's public sentiment.

It was just a shame that the situation was completely different this time.

Just as he was trying to figure out how to get away safely, Mitsuto Hyuga exclaimed again.

"They're here! The pursuers have arrived!"

"The one leading the team is Chiyo, an elder of Sunagakure!"

Hearing this, Sakumo Hatake's expression immediately turned extremely grim.

"Caught up this fast?"

"How did they know we escaped here?"

Dotetsu was a bit panicked. They clearly evaded the pursuers before fleeing here. How could they have been discovered so quickly?

Just then, Chiyo led dozens of ninjas to surround this ruin.

"Sakumo Hatake, come out and face your death now!"

"You can't escape!"

"Hand over Yugura!"

Chiyo's eyes were blazing with anger at this moment. Finally seeing the murderer who killed her son, at this moment she only had one thought in her mind, and that was revenge!

Sakumo Hatake slowly looked outside. This ruin had been completely surrounded by the ninjas of Sunagakure.

Breaking through the encirclement would be easier said than done.

"Chiyama, can your Flying Thunder God Technique teleport them away?"

Chiyama Gekko shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he didn't have the spell. Without the positioning spell, where was he supposed to fly?

"If Lord Sakumo can help, there might be a certain chance."

Sakumo Hatake, who had originally given up on the Flying Thunder God Technique, instantly had a glimmer of hope again.

"What do you mean?"

"The only thing I can use to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique now is this pile of Kunai."

"As long as you can take this Kunai away from here, I can activate the Flying Thunder God Technique and take them away together."

Chiyama Gekko stared fixedly at Sakumo Hatake's face, observing closely.

What he meant was that you, Sakumo Hatake, had to break through the encirclement, and then we could leave together.

This was forcing him to make a choice.

Sure enough, when Sakumo Hatake heard that he needed to break through the encirclement by himself, his face suddenly changed drastically.

He looked around at everyone. These were all his companions who had gone on the mission with him. How could he break through by himself?

Even if he managed to break through, if Chiyama Gekko's Flying Thunder God Technique didn't work, wouldn't he become a sinner?

Looking at his conflicted expression, Chiyama Gekko sighed helplessly in his heart.

Sure enough, although Sakumo Hatake was incredibly powerful, his heart was incredibly fragile.

And the next words from everyone also gave Sakumo Hatake another pang in his heart.

"Lord Sakumo, you take that woman and break through the encirclement."

"As long as you break through, this mission will be completed."

The first one to speak was Ken Aoyama, who was lying on the ground receiving treatment.

He had already given up on his own life and death. As long as the mission was accomplished, what did it matter if he died here?

"Haha, Lord Sakumo, don't think about it anymore. I, Dotetsu, have no fear after fighting side by side with you."

"While they haven't launched an attack yet, you'd better go now!"

Heiichi Yamanaka and Mitsuto Hyuga didn't say a word, but their firm looks had already shown their decision.

Sakumo Hatake was completely numb. He looked at Chiyama Gekko with great hesitation.

"Lord Sakumo, don't look at me. As long as you can get out, I will definitely be able to take them away."

"If you trust me, break through the encirclement."

Chiyama Gekko started to grumble.

Damn it, you old geezer. Do you not trust me or Tobirama Senju?

This Flying Thunder God Technique is a Space-time ninjutsu! A forbidden ninjutsu! Do you understand!

Damn it, if you keep delaying, they really won't be able to leave.

Fine, suit yourself. Anyway, he, Chiyama Gekko, was definitely able to ensure his own safety.

Well, he could also guarantee Yugura's safety. After all, she was the target of his mission, and he still had to take her back.

"Okay... Chiyama, promise me you must take them all away from here."

Sakumo Hatake slapped Chiyama Gekko hard on the shoulder and then walked outside.

His figure, burdened by the pressure, was a bit hunched.

"Humph, Chiyo! Your Sunagakure's response is really quick."

"Want to kill me? You have to see if you're qualified enough!"

Facing his own people, Sakumo Hatake was powerless. However, when facing the enemy, especially the one who had pushed his own people to the brink,

Sakumo Hatake instantly transformed into a fierce demon from hell, his whole body exuding a terrifying aura.

His blood-red eyes perfectly showed how angry he was at this moment.

"Humph! Sakumo Hatake, the hatred of my son's death must be avenged!"

"Today is your death day!"

White Secret Technique: The Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets!

Ten white figures suddenly appeared. This was precisely Chiyo's famous ultimate skill, White Secret Technique: The Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets.

Controlling ten puppets simultaneously, one could say this was the peak of the Puppet Technique.
