"I said close to Kage-level, almost Kage-level, got it? It's not easy for a mere Chunin like me to defeat such a strong enemy, okay? I almost got killed by those puppets."
Looking at the exaggerated expression on Kenji's face, Tsunade just smiled and turned her head away.
Tsunade had been very worried about Kenji's safety, but seeing that he still had so much energy to say all sorts of things, she was relieved.
Two days later, Chiyo, the leader of the Suna ninjas, suddenly proposed a peace talk.
Although it was unknown what Chiyo was planning, the Konoha side agreed to the peace talk after some discussion.
After all, in addition to the battle with the Suna ninjas, Konoha and Iwa ninjas were also fighting fiercely in the Land of Rain.
If they could end the battle with the Suna ninjas as soon as possible, it would be pretty good.
Soon, both sides agreed on the location and time for the peace talks.
On the Konoha side, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Sakumo would be the main negotiators with the Suna ninjas.
And on the Suna ninja side, it would be Chiyo, Ebizō, and Bunpuku.
Soon, the day of the negotiation arrived, and the two sides began to meet in a temporary wooden hut.
Chiyo spoke first:
"Hand over my son and daughter-in-law. In exchange, I can return your spies to you."
Hearing Chiyo's words, Tsunade and Jiraiya both turned to look at Sakumo.
Because the two of them had never heard of their side capturing anyone from Suna.
Since that was the case, only Sakumo, who was like a mysterious dragon, would know the details.
At this moment, Sakumo suddenly remembered the mission he had carried out with Kenji and Minato Namikaze before.
No wonder he had felt that the leading puppet master looked a bit like someone. It turned out he looked like Chiyo.
However, Chiyo's son had long since turned into a pile of dust and was scattered by the wind.
They couldn't even give her the corpse, let alone a living person.
So, Sakumo responded righteously:
"We have never seen your son and daughter-in-law. I hope you don't say things that are irrelevant."
Hearing this, Chiyo flew into a rage. She stood up abruptly and slammed her hand on the table, saying furiously:
"Don't lie! They were ambushed by you, White Fang! Hand them over quickly, otherwise there's no need to continue these peace talks!"
Sakumo glanced at Chiyo, his eyes suddenly turning cold.
"Since you already know that I ambushed them, then you should know that my subordinates don't have a habit of taking prisoners, right? And you don't need to threaten me. We Konoha don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either."
Hearing this, Chiyo's body suddenly slumped back onto the stool. She had actually prepared herself mentally.
However, this situation of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person still caused a sharp pain in her heart.
She didn't even know how to explain this to her grandson after returning to the village.
Ebizō quickly walked behind Chiyo, patting her back while asking concernedly:
"Sister, what's wrong? Sister, don't scare me..."
The peace talk ended on such an unpleasant note. However, judging from the resentful look in Chiyo and Ebizō's eyes when they left, Konoha and Suna should be facing a major battle in the near future.
"White Fang, you're as ruthless as ever. You even killed that old woman Chiyo's son."
Tsunade couldn't help but tease.
White Fang glanced at Tsunade, then responded:
"Chiyo's son wasn't killed by me, but by your good student. Moreover, he's much more ruthless than me. He didn't even leave a corpse for them."
After hearing this, Tsunade's originally smiling expression immediately turned gloomy.
Returning to the camp, Tsunade immediately found Kenji.
"Pack your bags quickly. You're going back to Konoha today."
Looking at Tsunade's flustered appearance, Kenji was confused.
"What's wrong, Sensei? Did you owe a lot of money outside, and now the creditors are coming to collect? Why are you in such a hurry?"
With a "bang," Tsunade punched Kenji on the head.
"When have I, Tsunade, ever owed anyone money? Stop acting foolishly here. You killed that old woman, Chiyo's son. She definitely won't let you off after she finds out."
Kenji responded with an indifferent expression:
"She's just an old woman with one foot in the grave. What's there to be afraid of? If I slink back now, wouldn't that prove that I'm afraid of her?"
At this moment, a panicked voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Kenji and Tsunade quickly walked out of the tent and saw a tanuki that was as huge as a mountain constantly approaching them.
"That old woman Chiyo has really gone crazy this time. She's even using the tailed beast."
That's right, the giant tanuki was the One-Tail of Sunagakure.
Speaking of this, it's necessary to mention Konoha's great First Hokage.
After capturing the nine-tailed beasts, this big shot actually only left the strongest Nine-Tails for Konoha.
He gave the other eight-tailed beasts to other ninja villages. It had to be said that this was a genius-level idea.
If Konoha had nine Jinchuriki, where would other villages get the courage to start the ninja world war?
At this moment, a giant toad blocked One-Tail's path. It was Jiraiya's summoning beast, Gamabunta.
"Hmph, I don't want to eat toads right now. Get out of my way."
One-Tail said coldly.
"If the Nine-Tails were here, I might back down, but you, the weakest One-Tail, dare to spout nonsense here?"
With one sentence, Gamabunta poked at One-Tail's sore spot.
The thing that One-Tail hated the most was people using the number of tails to measure the strength of tailed beasts.
If that were the case, then One-Tail would be the weakest-tailed beast.
However, the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails were indeed the two strongest tailed beasts. It's just that One-Tail couldn't be considered the weakest.
One-Tail opened its mouth wide, constantly absorbing the chakra nearby.
Seeing this, the originally imposing Gamabunta suddenly said in a low voice:
"Jiraiya, we should run quickly. One-Tail seems to be about to release a Tailed Beast Bomb. I don't have the confidence to block that move."
"What are you talking about? What will happen to the others if we leave? As a hero, there's no option to abandon our teammates."
Jiraiya responded with a serious expression. At this moment, there was no trace of his usual frivolousness on his face.
