Meanwhile, Chiyo had also made a tough decision in order to keep the war between the Hidden Rain and Konoha going.
She diverted some of the scarce resources from the Hidden Sand Village and sent them to the Hidden Rain Village.
This move received approval from the Third Kazekage.
Although the Hidden Sand was struggling financially, it was crucial for them to keep Konoha's main forces tied up in the Land of Rain.
As long as the war in the Land of Rain continued, Konoha would be stretched thin, unable to fully focus on any one front.
The supplies were sent, but after the Hidden Rain Village received them, there was no immediate response.
Chiyo grew impatient and quickly sent someone to urge Hanzō to act swiftly.
What's the holdup? she wondered, I'm still waiting to strike Konoha's camp.
But the messenger returned, fuming with anger.
"Lady Chiyo, the Hidden Rain are nothing but a bunch of swindlers! They refuse to fight, claiming their recent losses were too great and that they need time to recover. They also said the supplies were insufficient-they're asking for more than just food, ninja tools, and explosive tags. Now they're demanding various medicines as well."
"Heh..."
Oh, Hanzo, you crafty devil!
Chiyo was so furious, she couldn't help but laugh.
Why don't you just ask for gold while you're at it? Maybe I should send you a few bricks of it too- wouldn't that be nice?
The audacity was too much.
In that moment, Chiyo felt a strong urge to march an army straight to the Hidden Rain Village and attack.
But she knew she couldn't-over a few supplies, it wasn't worth it. Besides, the Hidden Rain wasn't an easy target.
As long as Hanzō was still standing, no one could underestimate the Hidden Rain Village.
"Send them more supplies," Chiyo ordered, her voice tinged with resignation. "And make it clear-this is the last time. They'd better keep their word."
"But Lady Chiyo, our own supplies are running low..."
"Just do it!!" Chiyo snapped.
As long as Konoha was kept on edge, as long as Konoha was made to suffer, it would all be worth it.
Chiyo's thoughts turned to her son and daughter-in-law, still on the battlefield in the Land of Rivers. She desperately wanted to avenge them.
And whenever she thought of Sasori, waiting back in the village for his parents to return, her heart ached.
"Sakumo Hatake..." she muttered under her breath.
