With Tsunade leading the Ninja from several major families on the main battlefield, the situation quickly turned around.
Although the Ninja of the four major families also suffered losses, the victory on the main battlefield was basically secured.
At this moment, at the Sunagakure station.
"Sister, why don't we go back?"
"If this continues, our Ninja will be annihilated."
Ebizō said with some concern.
He naturally knew why Chiyo was so persistent.
That was also his nephew, who died on the battlefield, and he felt great heartache.
But… war cannot be swayed by emotions.
"Impossible, as long as Konoha doesn't hand over Sakumo Hatake, I will not withdraw for a single day."
"If you want to leave, then leave!"
Chiyo had gone mad.
The pain of losing her son had made her lose her ability to think normally.
"Sister…"
"No more words, we will raid Konoha tonight!"
After Chiyo finished speaking, she left directly to research her poisons.
This time, she was determined to make Konoha pay a heavy price.
At the same time, in Sunagakure.
Sakumo Hatake and his two companions had already arrived outside Sunagakure.
"As expected, because of the previous incident, Sunagakure's defenses are even stronger."
Sakumo Hatake was a little helpless.
Last time, it was because of the surprise attack that they had such a good opportunity.
However, due to Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the mission failed.
Thinking about the past, Sakumo Hatake also felt a bit annoyed.
"Sakumo Hatake, this time we are not entering Sunagakure."
"Rie and I will be responsible for drawing away the guards. If you still can't complete the mission this time, you can't blame me."
After Sarutobi Shinnosuke finished speaking, he exchanged a glance with Sarutobi Rie and quietly slipped away.
Seeing this, Sakumo Hatake couldn't even stop them.
Did these two guys think that Sunagakure had no strong individuals left now?
Last time, they failed even with an easy infiltration, and now they still think two of them can draw away the guards?
Sakumo Hatake felt that Sarutobi Shinnosuke's brain must have been kicked by a donkey.
However, since the two had already gone, Sakumo Hatake could only act according to his own plan.
"It's Konoha's Ninja, heighten security!"
"Notify Kazekage-sama!"
"There are only two of them, and one was injured last time. Capture them immediately."
"He is the Hokage's son, do not kill him. He can be used to threaten Konoha!"
…
In an instant, they not only exposed themselves.
They even exposed their own information.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Hiruzen Sarutobi's son.
If such a bargaining chip could be held in hand, it would surely make Konoha hesitant.
The guards instantly became excited.
More than twenty Jonin from Sunagakure immediately rushed out.
When Sakumo Hatake escaped from Sunagakure last time, he discovered a gap in Sunagakure.
He directly infiltrated Sunagakure.
Because of the commotion caused by Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Sunagakure's attention was quickly drawn away.
At this moment, inside the Kazekage's office.
"Kazekage-sama, we have surrounded Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Sarutobi Rie."
"Next, we only need to use these two as bargaining chips to exchange for sufficient resources from Konoha."
"Moreover, there is also a sufficient reason for Chiyo-sama to withdraw."
The Kazekage's ANBU quickly reported.
Hearing this, the Kazekage was overjoyed.
He didn't expect these two to return so soon.
"Pass down the order, make sure to capture them alive."
"And…"
"Pfft…"
Before the Kazekage could finish speaking, the ANBU in front of him had already fallen.
And all the ANBU outside had also lost their lives.
"It's you?"
Seeing Sakumo Hatake, the Kazekage did not panic.
Even if it was him, what then?
Could he possibly kill him and then go rescue those two?
If nothing went wrong, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Sarutobi Rie had already been captured by now.
"You are not my opponent, I apologize."
After Sakumo Hatake spoke, the short blade in his hand emitted a pure white glow in the night.
A massive amount of Chakra gathered on the short blade.
"Kazekage-sama!"
Soon, a group of Sunagakure Ninja rushed in.
Along with them were the captured Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Sarutobi Rie.
"Give up."
"It's impossible for you to escape from here."
"And…"
"Pfft!"
Before the Kazekage could finish speaking, Sakumo Hatake immediately launched a surprise attack on him.
The short blade in his hand instantly pierced through the Kazekage's shoulder.
He only needed to detonate the Chakra on the short blade to instantly kill the Kazekage.
"Sakumo Hatake, release the Kazekage immediately, then commit suicide."
"Otherwise, we will kill these two!"
Tomoyo Chōkyū yelled sharply.
He had originally thought that capturing these two would make Sakumo Hatake hesitant.
But unexpectedly, Sakumo Hatake's actions were still so decisive.
"As Hokage-sama's eldest son, to be able to sacrifice for the war is the highest honor."
"I believe that even if Hokage-sama were here, he would make the same decision as me."
Sakumo Hatake showed no sign of compromise, and the long blade in his hand still held the Kazekage captive.
He was not worried about the safety of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the other, but rather how to break through.
More and more Sunagakure Ninja were gathering.
If he continued to delay, he might not even be able to leave here.
"Sakumo Hatake, what are you saying?"
"Quickly release the Kazekage and save me!"
"Didn't you say that comrades are more important than missions?!"
At this moment, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was almost crying.
If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn't have shown up.
He should have just let Sakumo Hatake carry out the assassination alone.
Moreover, his previous act of passing the blame to Sakumo Hatake now seemed utterly foolish.
But it was too late to regret.
Now, he only hoped that Sakumo Hatake wouldn't act impulsively, otherwise he would definitely die too!
"Sakumo Hatake, if you…"
"Pfft!"
Just as the Kazekage was about to speak, Sakumo Hatake instantly moved.
The burst of Chakra instantly destroyed the Kazekage's heart.
Then, he quickly struck out.
"I'm sorry."
A slash was unleashed, completely disregarding Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the other standing in front.
He severely injured several Sunagakure Ninja and then broke through.
As he passed by Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Sarutobi Rie, he casually picked up a Sunagakure Ninja's kunai and plunged it into both of their hearts.
This series of actions completely stunned the Sunagakure Ninja.
By the time they reacted, Sakumo Hatake was already gone.
"The Kazekage has been attacked, the entire Village is on high alert, search for Sakumo Hatake!"
News of the Kazekage's attack immediately spread throughout the entire Village.
As for Sakumo Hatake, he had already escaped the Village through that gap.
On the main battlefield.
"Chiyo-sama, this is bad."
"The Kazekage was attacked and has died."
"Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Sarutobi Rie also died."
"The one who did it was Sakumo Hatake."
The situation on Sunagakure's side was also immediately relayed to the front lines.
