Chapter 34: Granny Chiyo

Minato and Baki exchanged a glance, then each found a seat and sat down. None of the four spoke; they just sat there quietly! Two were fishing, while the other two stared blankly at the pond!

A moment later, Granny Chiyo, who still had a pile of matters to handle, finally could not hold back and spoke up to Ebizo:

"You didn't call me over just to watch you fish, did you! If you have something to say, just say it. I still have many things to handle! I don't have time to waste here with you!"

Minato and Baki did not speak, only quietly looking toward Ebizo. One was from an outside village, and the other was a junior from the Sand Village; neither was in a convenient position to explain at this time, so the heavy burden of this explanation had to fall on Ebizo. Seeing that neither of them intended to step forward to explain, Ebizo could only smile bitterly, knowing he had to step up. So, he thought for a moment and said:

"This matter might sound a bit unbelievable, but it is indeed the absolute truth. I hope you can listen to it until the end!" After saying this, Ebizo paused, then summarized his words! He slowly recounted his memories as a reborn person!

Perhaps fearing his explanation was not clear enough, or perhaps worrying his sister could not accept it, Ebizo spoke very slowly this time, pausing between every sentence, taking about an hour to finish explaining the matter.

Granny Chiyo kept her eyes closed from beginning to end, not speaking, her expression showing no abnormality, as if everything had nothing to do with her! When Ebizo finished speaking, she just quietly opened her eyes, then focused on the pond and began fishing again! Only, her hands were trembling slightly at this moment!

Seeing Granny Chiyo did not speak, the other three fell silent. After a long while, Granny Chiyo finally said:

"So, this is the reason why the Kumogakure retreated when the situation was looking so favorable, is it?"

"Yes. I have already gone to talk to them on the Kumogakure side. The Third Raikage is already discussing the matter of withdrawing troops with the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning! Moreover, in order to atone for his sins, he has already handed the position of Raikage to his son and chosen to retire," Minato took over the conversation and said!

"Heh, after killing so many people from our Sand Village, they want to just retire? Where in the world is there such a good deal?" Granny Chiyo said with a cold snort!

"Then what would you like to do?" Minato frowned and said!

"At the very least, hand over the Third Raikage, who incited this war, to us to handle! Only then is it possible for both sides to reconcile."

Granny Chiyo said with a cold snort! As the victim of this war, the Sand Village had not provoked anyone, but because the Kumogakure wanted to expand its influence, they were innocently caught in the crossfire. Say what you will, this matter was indeed the Kumogakure bullying the Sand Village. If they accepted a peace agreement while swallowing their pride at this time, not to mention what people from other ninja villages would think of the Sand Village, even the ninjas of the Sand Village itself would look down on their own village!

The so-called "when hearts are scattered, the team is hard to lead"! To unite the hearts of the Sand Village, Granny Chiyo could not accept such peace! And even if Granny Chiyo agreed to peace now, most of the people in the Sand Village would not be able to agree.

"You know that this is impossible. Neither the Fourth Raikage nor the Kumogakure would agree to hand the Third Raikage over to you to handle! Moreover, besides saving Karura, the reason I came this time is to tell you about the enemies the ninja world will face after the Fourth War," Minato said with some helplessness!

Hearing Minato say this, Ebizo and Granny Chiyo both looked toward Minato. Minato thought for a moment, then slowly recounted the situation of the ninja world after the Otsutsuki Clan descended after the Fourth War.

The more they listened, the uglier the expressions of Granny Chiyo and Ebizo became, and they could not help but show some worry! Before, when Granny Chiyo heard about the Fourth Shinobi World War, although she was shocked, the final result was victory, so she did not take it to heart. Furthermore, her own village's Fifth Kazekage Gaara and the savior of the ninja world, Uzumaki Naruto, had such a good relationship! The two villages were even staunch allies afterward, so she did not worry that the village would be destroyed!

But now it was different. According to what Minato said, after the Otsutsuki Clan descended, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were defeated, her own village was destroyed, and the Kazekage, the Sand Village ninjas, and the civilians would all be killed in the future. How could this not make them worry!

Finally, Minato's words were finished. Granny Chiyo's expression was ugly. She forcibly suppressed the worry in her heart and said: "So, you mean that in the future, basically all ninjas are already dead, right?"

Minato thought for a moment and said heavily: "Yes, basically all dead!"

Hearing this, Chiyo was silent for a moment, then said: "If you can produce evidence to prove that everything you just said is true, I can represent the Sand Village and sign a peace agreement with the Kumogakure!"

Minato nodded and said: "I have the memory orb left behind by Naruto here. I think after the problems of the ninja world are handled, I can take it out and let everyone in the ninja world watch it together!"

Chiyo nodded and said nothing more. In fact, Granny Chiyo also did not want to fight anymore. In terms of comprehensive national strength, the Kumogakure was far stronger than the Sand Village. They not only possessed two Tailed Beasts, but the Jinchuriki were also able to perfectly control the Tailed Beasts! Such strength was no longer something the Sand Village could contend with! In the Sand Village, there was only one Tailed Beast, Shukaku, and it could not be controlled, so it could not be relied upon during war!

Moreover, they still had the Third Raikage and his son, both of whom were people whose strength reached the Kage level. If other ninja villages did not participate, relying solely on the Sand Village, they were not the Kumogakure's opponent!

Therefore, if Minato could prove that everything he said was true, Granny Chiyo would be very happy to take this opportunity to reconcile with the Kumogakure!

With this excuse concerning the survival of the ninja world, the concession Granny Chiyo gave at this time would only give people a feeling of considering the overall situation, rather than being cowardly! The impact on the village could also be minimized.

"Then I will first move the army back to the border. When you produce the evidence, I will then ask the Fourth Kazekage for instructions and sign a peace agreement with the Kumogakure."

As an advisor to the Sand Village, Granny Chiyo had this right! Minato nodded, knowing this was already the greatest concession Granny Chiyo could make!

Actually, like Karura, Granny Chiyo still had some doubts in her heart, but like Karura, she believed Minato had no reason to lie to her, and with her own brother and Baki as witnesses, she also believed these two would not betray the Sand Village. Moreover, there were indeed many things recently that simply could not be explained by common sense! Adding so many things together was enough to make her trust what Minato and Ebizo said!

Of course, this was only temporary. To make her completely believe, at the very least, Minato would have to produce Naruto's memory orb!

"There are a few more things I want to confirm with you," Granny Chiyo said suddenly, glancing at Baki and Ebizo.

"Then I will avoid the area for a moment," Minato said!

"No need. This is not a secret to you, and our two countries have a good relationship. There is no need to hide this kind of thing from you."

After Granny Chiyo finished saying this, she immediately closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened her mouth to ask in a trembling voice:

"The Third Kazekage... he really has sacrificed himself, right?"

Baki and Ebizo exchanged a glance. Both of them were silent for a moment, then nodded heavily!

"Then... it really was Sasori who killed him?" Granny Chiyo's voice trembled even more severely!

Ebizo and Baki both knew very clearly that the old woman before them had already lost her son and daughter-in-law during the Second Shinobi World War. If even her grandson betrayed the village now, it would be another painful blow to her.

She might even be forced to issue an order to hunt down her own grandson, but reality is reality, and no one could change it! Basically, all the reborn people knew about this matter! The reason it did not spread was because Baki and Ebizo had issued orders! But paper cannot wrap up fire; they could suppress it for a while but not for a lifetime. Sooner or later, the truth would come out!

Since it could not be hidden, they could only tell the truth! But when the two of them saw Granny Chiyo's expectant eyes, the courage they had finally mustered instantly vanished into thin air! In the end, they could only lower their heads in silence!

Seeing them both silent, how could Granny Chiyo not understand what was going on! She just smiled bitterly, then lowered her head. Ebizo, who was beside her, wanted to comfort her a few words, but did not know how to start, and in the end, could only remain silent!

After a long while, Granny Chiyo finally came back to her senses and said bitterly: "Then can you tell me how I died in the future? And about Sasori, what happened to him in the end?"

Regarding these two questions, Ebizo chose to skip them at the time because he did not know how to tell his sister that she was the one who personally killed Sasori in the end! Ebizo knew that being able to personally kill a traitor who betrayed the village was an unshirkable duty for his sister... but

What if that person was her own grandson? Ebizo had never encountered this kind of thing, so he did not know with what kind of mood his sister did it!

Ebizo tried to open his mouth several times, but did not say a complete sentence! But facing him was Granny Chiyo! Based on her understanding of her younger brother, she had probably already guessed most of it! Only hearing her say to herself with some relief: "Perhaps this is the best ending!"
