In a hidden sandstone cave in the northern part of the Rain Country, where the wind and sand are blowing, the parents of Red Sand Scorpion have survived the disaster. Their wounds have been simply treated, but the fear and fatigue in their eyes have not yet dissipated.
They looked at the silver-haired boy floating half a foot above the ground in front of them with complicated feelings. They didn't expect that it was the Iwagakure who had a grudge against the Sand Village who saved them.
"Lord Akachen..." Scorpion's father, the elite puppeteer of Sand Village, spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Thank you for saving my life. If you hadn't intervened in time..." He glanced at his wife, who was also in a state of shock, and didn't finish the sentence. Facing Konoha White Fang, the couple would almost certainly die. He couldn't imagine what would happen to Scorpion without his parents, even though he was so young.
Chi Chen nodded slightly, "It's a small matter. We originally wanted to tell you about the antidote, but we didn't expect you to meet Hatake Sakumo first."
"From what I understand, Princess Tsunade of Konoha is close to cracking Elder Chiyo's poison and is now mass-producing it. I'm sure she'll use it to kill you all by surprise soon."
This news made the faces of the Akagakure couple change drastically. The poison was the biggest reliance of the Sand Village puppet army in the fight against Konoha in the Rain Plain. Once it was broken, the main force of the Sand Village would be at an absolute disadvantage facing the elite of Konoha and Hanzo's poisonous fog, and would even be in danger of being wiped out.
This was a hundred times more deadly than the danger they were in, although they had vaguely guessed it from the beginning. If they were killed by Hatake Sakumo, the Sand Village army, which had no news, would definitely suffer heavy losses.
"So, Lord Chichen, what you mean is..." Xie's father asked with difficulty. He vaguely guessed Chichen's purpose.
"The enemy of my enemy is only a temporary friend." Chi Chen's eyes sharpened. "Konoha is too strong. It wants to suppress the Wind, Earth, and Rain Kingdoms simultaneously and dominate the ninja world. This is not in the interests of any of us.
Sand Village now needs a chance to breathe, a time to regroup, and Rock Village also needs you to tie down some of Konoha's elite, even if it's only for a while."
After all, there is an antidote. Even if Konoha's stockpile is destroyed, a new one can be created with time.
He paused and made a key proposal: "Iwagakure is willing to form a limited tactical alliance with Sunagakure against Konoha. Iwagakure will help Sunagakure destroy the core samples and key facilities of the antidote that Konoha is intensively producing, thus interrupting their detoxification process.
In exchange, Sunagakure needs to tie down some of Konoha's elite troops, after all, you were going to do that anyway.
At the same time, Sunagakure needs to dispatch sufficient personnel to the Iwagakure frontline headquarters to discuss the details of possible subsequent coordinated actions with Commander-in-Chief Yamagami."
"Tactical alliance... destroy the antidote..." Scorpion's father muttered, his eyes gleaming. This was undoubtedly what Sand Village needed most right now. Destroying the antidote would allow them to regain the initiative on the battlefield and gain a chance to breathe.
As for the effect, that depends on the results of this cooperation and Iwagakure's sincerity. Iwagakure definitely only wants these.
He exchanged a glance with his wife, and saw the determination in each other's eyes. Sand Village had no better choice now!
"Sir Chichen, we will convey your proposal to Master Fengying and Mother as quickly as possible through the most confidential channels."
"A wise choice." Chi Chen's lips curled up in a barely perceptible arc. "There's no time to lose. We must destroy the antidote before it's mass-produced and distributed. We must set off immediately."
Now as long as we reach a cooperation, we can slowly cooperate later. After all, what Iwagakure needs is war to open up a living environment and then develop slowly, and Sand Village is one of the five major countries and still has a lot of resources.
The Sand Village was very fast and issued the approved order quickly with the help of the reverse summoning technique. At the same time, it ordered Yan and Sari to negotiate with the Iwagakure on behalf of the Sand Village.

When Chi Chen walked in with the slightly embarrassed Chi Sand couple, everyone's eyes were focused on them. Yamakami Mu sat in the main seat, his sharp eyes swept over the Sand Village envoys, and finally fell on Chi Chen.
Chichen briefly reported his encounter with White Fang, his rescue of the Red Sand couple, and the top-secret intelligence he had brought back regarding Konoha's near-successful antidote. He then mentioned Sunagakure's desire to form an alliance. Yamagami naturally understood Chichen's hint.
"The antidote to destroy Konoha..." Yamagami pondered for a moment, then looked at the Akagara couple. "What kind of substantial support can Sunagakure provide for this operation? Simply shrinking part of the battle line is probably not enough to show sincerity."
Although this was Iwagakure's original plan, any profit they could get was worth it after all, Iwagakure took the lion's share.
Even if the poison is solved, the Sand Village really has no effective measures against Konoha's rear, and the help of the Iwagakure is needed to be safe.
He stepped forward and bowed slightly. "Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief of the Mountain. Lord Kazekage has already agreed to the idea of an alliance. During the war, we will do our best to help contain Konoha. Even after the war, the Wind Kingdom wants to become friends with the Earth Kingdom. After all, aren't our enemies essentially the same?"
Yamagami's eyes flashed as he looked at Chichen. "Chichen, the target base is deep inside the Konoha-controlled area. The security must be extremely tight, and there might even be Kage-level masters stationed there. How confident are you? How many people will you need to cooperate?"
Chi Chen's eyes were calm and determined. "I searched the Konoha camp earlier and found at least ten ninja squads on the ground, with at least three elite Jonin stationed there. It looks like Konoha will attack Sunagakure in a few days. Now we just need to transport this batch of antidotes to the front line."
Chi Chen looked at the other Iwagakure jonin on the mountain and said nonchalantly, "Besides, if we can't defeat them, we can't escape."
The other Iwa ninjas also laughed at the confident Chi Chen. Yes, Chi Chen has become the fourth generation in everyone's mind at such a young age. This is a real achievement.
Finally, after a detailed discussion with the Akassana couple on the mountain, it was decided that the Sunagakure would be the vanguard of this operation, while the Iwagakure would send Akassana and two senior ninjas to assist.
With the help of the Ninja World's Super Space-Time Ninjutsu - Reverse Summoning Technique, the cooperation between Sand Village and Iwagakure was quickly transmitted to the hands of the Third Generation of Sand Village and approved.
At the same time, Konoha also received the news that Hatake Sakumo encountered Akagami and was defeated.
Danzo quickly issued orders to speed up the action against Sunagakure and ordered the Konoha troops to move.
Unfortunately, now that Sand Village and Iwagakure have joined forces and quickly reached a cooperation, their transfer was quickly discovered.
