"Alright, I understand. Go and rest. Although the mission you led failed, you brought back some useful intelligence. This mission's failure won't affect your military merits; you may leave."
Chiyo waved him off, signaling he could leave.
"Thank you."
Masa felt a surge of relief, standing straight, he respectfully bowed before leaving the tent.
His subordinates were eaten, leaving only him alive to return.
Masa had been worried about punishment, but thankfully, there was none, and even his military merits weren't deducted.
"Chiyo-sama is truly kind-hearted."
Masa gratefully issued Chiyo a metaphorical 'kind person card.'
If only the contemplative Chiyo knew, she might kick him to death.
She lost a son, a daughter-in-law, and I'm fretting over this nonsense, and you're giving me a kind person card?
"What do you think?" Chiyo turned to her brother Ebizō, who was in charge of the Sand's intelligence.
Because of the need to gather a lot of information about the Rain, Chiyo had messaged the Third Kazekage to send Ebizō to the Land of Rain.
The Third Kazekage agreed to Chiyo's request.
So the siblings found themselves together in the Land of Rain.
"It has some credibility, but we can't fully trust it."
Ebizō, who had been handling intelligence, said, "Maybe this is a Leaf ploy to deceive us, pretending to be weak to give us an opening."
"Based on the spy's information, Hiruzen's three disciples all have numerous complaints about Danzo, the commander, so it might be intentional."
"Or..."
Ebizō paused, looking at his sister Chiyo.
"Or Orochimaru is returning to the Leaf camp, perhaps transporting a batch of supplies to the frontline route."
Hearing this, Chiyo nodded, "Then how credible do you find Masa's intelligence?"
"Not very credible, but it doesn't hinder our plans to attack the Leaf camp."
Ebizō smiled, showing a few missing teeth.
"As soon as the major battle between Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village breaks out, Konoha's attention will be diverted. That will be our chance to strike."
"I've been waiting for Danzo to leave the camp, but he hasn't stepped out even once!"
Mentioning Danzo made Chiyo angry.
Can't you just step outside for once? As the commander-in-chief, you just stay in the camp without even stepping out of the gate?
Other commanders go to the battlefield to fight, but not you. You just hand over the tasks to Orochimaru and make yourself a hands-off leader.
Are you staying in the camp to stabilize the troops, or are you just afraid of dying?
Forget it, no point in talking about this frustrating man.
Chiyo suddenly asked, "What about Sakumo Hatake...?"
Ebizō's smile froze slightly as he replied, "He was injured while fighting against the Kazekage a while ago and is currently recovering at the Konoha camp in the Land of Rivers."
"Sister, we'll kill him eventually."
"I know."
Chiyo nodded, her eyes reddened as she gritted her teeth and said, "One day, I'll cut off his head."
