Seeing Chiyo without her hat, the two Mist ninja froze for a moment.
Then, the two couldn't help but exchange a glance.
The old woman's face before them gave them a familiar feeling, but for a moment, they couldn't recall where they had seen her.
Just as the two were slightly stunned, Chiyo gently shook her head and spoke in a calm tone:
"Even after all these years, no one recognizes an old man on his deathbed, eh, old woman."
"My name is Chiyo, and I've come here specifically to see your Mizukage."
Hearing Chiyo's casual tone, one of the Mist ninja showed an expression of displeasure on his face:
"To see our Mizukage, who do you think you are..."
Before this Mist ninja could finish his sentence, the other one seemed to remember something and abruptly pulled his arm.
"You're Chiyo, the one who rules Sunagakure now!"
The other Mist ninja's face was filled with a solemn expression as he looked at Chiyo.
At this moment, this Mist ninja also suddenly understood why he felt a sense of familiarity when he saw this person.
Because he had seen information about Chiyo in a manual specifically recording famous ninja from the shinobi world.
A few more ninja from the medical unit arrived, and they carefully placed Ringo Ameyuri on a stretcher.
They carried her cautiously towards the direction of the Hidden Mist Hospital.
Yuto looked at Ringo Ameyuri being carried away, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
This time, taking Neji away had caused considerable losses for both their Hidden Mist and Konoha.
Especially for Konoha, the losses were even greater.
Konoha would absolutely not let this matter go, and Hashirama Senju was not an easy person to talk to.
Of course, Yuto was also very displeased right now.
"In that case, we must strike first. But before that, there is one thing we must confirm."
Yuto's eyes flickered slightly as he turned his head towards the direction of the 'Seven Swordsmen of the Mist':
"Chōjūrō, Zabuza Momochi, you two, set out for Sunagakure immediately."
Yuto's sudden voice caused Chōjūrō and Zabuza, who were nearby, to freeze for a moment.
However, the two quickly reacted, their faces turning serious.
Although they didn't know why they needed to go to Sunagakure at this time, seeing the expression on Yuto's face, both guessed it must have something to do with Ringo Ameyuri.
Just as Yuto was about to tell Zabuza and the other why they were going to Sunagakure.
A sharp whistling sound came from the distance, rapidly approaching everyone's position.
In a few leaps, a Anbu ninja appeared not far in front of the group.
As soon as this Anbu ninja appeared, he quickly knelt on one knee on the ground and spoke respectfully to Yuto and Mei Terumi:
"Lord Yuto, Mizukage-dono, the Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure has arrived in our Hidden Mist Village. She came alone, seemingly to discuss something."
Hearing this Anbu ninja's words, Yuto was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
Yuto waved his hand at Chōjūrō and Zabuza and said:
"You don't need to go. The person I was looking for has come to me herself."
Mei Terumi lightly raised an eyebrow, an interesting expression appearing on her face:
"To come to the Hidden Mist Village alone at a time like this, I don't know whether to say this Elder Chiyo is bold, or if she's underestimating our Hidden Mist Village."
"Perhaps she's taking a gamble, but either way, it suits my purposes."
Yuto said with a faint, almost imperceptible smile on his face.
"When it comes to medical ninjutsu, the only one who can be compared to Tsunade is probably this one."
Mei Terumi nodded slightly, also wearing a faint smile on her face.
"Take her directly to the Hidden Mist Hospital and tell her we'll be waiting for her there."
Yuto turned and walked forward, his indifferent voice falling into the Anbu ninja's ears.
"Yes, Lord Yuto."
The Anbu ninja gave a firm nod, his body flashed, and he turned into a残影, disappearing from his spot.
Under the guidance of two Anbu ninja, Chiyo walked with an unhurried expression towards the Mizukage's office.
"Elder Chiyo, could you perhaps be a little faster?"
An Anbu ninja, looking at Chiyo who was walking as if she were on a leisurely stroll, couldn't help a vein to throb on his forehead and spoke in a stiff tone.
"So inconsiderate of the elderly."
Chiyo shook her head, displeased and pouted her lips.
That Anbu ninja's eyebrow twitched, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, and turned around to continue leading the way.
If they hadn't known Chiyo's identity and strength.
These two Anbu ninja would have long since forcibly carried Chiyo towards the Mizukage's office.
With a sharp whistling sound, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
"There's no need to go to the Mizukage's office. The destination is changed to the Hidden Mist Hospital."
Hearing the words of this suddenly appearing Anbu ninja, the two Anbu ninja who were leading the way nodded slightly and turned to walk in another direction.
"To see your Mizukage, Mei Terumi, is such a hassle."
"After walking so far, you suddenly change the destination. How about you carry me there instead."
A sharp glint flashed in Chiyo's eyes. She rubbed her arm, her wrinkled face bunching up, and she said with a smile.
Hearing Chiyo call Mei Terumi by her name, all three Anbu ninja frowned at the same time.
"You had best speed up. This is not the Mizukage's order, but Lord Yuto's order."
The Anbu ninja who had just appeared looked coldly at Chiyo.
"Lord Yuto, you say?"
Chiyo was slightly taken aback, her eyes constantly flickering with a thoughtful gaze.
The next moment, Chiyo lifted her feet and strode forward, not a trace of her previously unhurried manner left.
In a room within the Hidden Mist Hospital.
With a crisp sound of a door opening, Chiyo walked in alone.
As for the few Anbu ninja, they all disappeared when they got near this room, apparently hiding in the surroundings.
As soon as she entered the room, Chiyo's eyes first fell on the two figures in the room—a man and a woman.
Mei Terumi and the First Mizukage, Yuto!
Seeing these two people, although Chiyo's expression remained the same as before, her spirit had already tensed up.
After only a glance at the two, Chiyo's gaze moved away and landed on a hospital bed in the center of the room.
Chiyo gently narrowed her eyes. That old man, Ebizō, if the information is correct.
The red-haired young girl on this hospital bed should be one of the new members of the 'Seven Swordsmen of the Mist,' Ringo Ameyuri.
