Chapter 258: General Attack!
As most ninjas age, their mental and physical strength will decline rapidly.
This happened to Hanzo in the past, and it also happened to Hiruzen.
One was strong in his youth, and the other became soft in his old age.
However, there are exceptions.
Like Onoki who relies on Dust Release to deal damage, and Chiyo who relies on puppets to deal damage, and so on.
Even though they are old, their strength will not decrease much.
Coupled with the wealth of experience accumulated over decades, and the powerful Ten Chikamatsu puppets, Chiyo's overall strength is considered above average among Kage level.
At least she is much better than Terumi Mei, the younger Fifth Mizukage.
Although Chiyo and the Chikamatsu puppets are very strong, the opponent is even more outrageous.
Although it's not the strongest Deva Path, the combined five other paths are no weaker than Jiraiya in Sage Mode.
Chiyo herself probably wouldn't be able to defeat them.
