"Send out my orders: surround the Konoha escort team. Eliminate them and kill Usagi Xin," She finally decided.
Despite her reservations, Chiyo knew this was an opportunity she couldn't pass up.
As long as she stayed out of direct combat, Chiyo believed her forces would prevail. There was no way one shinobi, no matter how skilled, could defeat hundreds.
Suna had seven to eight hundred shinobi at her command. Even if it came to throwing their lives at him, they could overwhelm Xin by sheer numbers.
Killing him would not only be a major victory but also a much-needed morale boost for Suna.
"Yes, Lady Chiyo!" Her subordinates responded eagerly, ready to carry out her orders. Meanwhile, Xin, unaware of Chiyo's plans, took a quick scouting round as a formality before returning to his team. He found working with his own group much easier they understood him with just a look.
Working with strangers, however, was a different story. If he didn't scout the area, they'd assume he wasn't competent enough to lead.
Xin hated that feeling, but luckily, this would be his last mission of this kind.
He estimated that at their current pace, they would reach Konoha in about four days, significantly faster than his last escort mission, which had taken over a week.
"Xin, a large group of enemies is approaching," Ophis's voice echoed in his mind.
"What direction? How many?" Xin's senses sharpened instantly.
"A lot. They're slowly surrounding us."
Suna!
Xin sighed in frustration. They were nearing the borders of the Land of Fire, and the only enemy capable of such a large-scale ambush had to be Sunagakure.
It had to be Chiyo's forces.
Xin realized that, despite the official ceasefire, Chiyo had stayed behind, waiting for an opportunity to strike at Konoha.
Now, it seemed he had become her target.
Xin wasn't surprised that Suna wanted him dead. His Sakura Fall technique had turned their Kazekage into a laughingstock.
If someone had done the same to Konoha's Hokage, Xin was certain Konoha shinobi would want that person dead too.
"Very well. If that's how it's going to be, I'll settle this once and for all."
Xin knew that until he dealt with Chiyo, Sunagakure would continue targeting him. The only way to end this was to beat them decisively make them fear him.
If the very mention of his name struck fear into Suna's shinobi, only then would they stop coming after him.
