Chapter 216: Sasuke is Promising!
The plan was complete.
This ending was a happy one for everyone.
To the members of Akatsuki’s organization, the arduous task of acting was finally over. Returning Gaara’s body was much more difficult than getting it.
Sasori asked with a puzzled expression, “I don’t quite understand. Despite his strength, Uehara still wants to hang out with the ninjas of the five major countries. He even wants to make friends with them. They are all our prey. Is it necessary?”
“Then it depends on Uehara’s thoughts.”
Nagato hid his smile under the hat. He calmly shook his head and said, “Whatever Uehara wants to do, we’ll let him do it himself!”
When Nagato fought with Uehara this time, his heart was a little touched. Since Uehara had grown up, he would naturally have his own thoughts.
If Uehara could gain the trust of Kyuubi Jinchuriki, it would be helpful to them when they captured the Kyuubi in the future. As the strongest Bijuu in the ninja world, Kyuubi’s strength was not what it showed today.
Even if something went wrong with Uehara, it did not matter. Nagato believed that, with his current strength, he could help him.
Although Nagato was still a little touched, Deidara was dissatisfied with Nagato and shouted, “Hey, you! You are just a newcomer who’s been here for two years. Don’t use the tone of a leader in front of us. Who do you think you are?”
“Uh…”
Nagato thought for a while and suddenly felt that Deidara would die sooner or later, so there was no need to argue with this kind of idiot.
After thinking for a second, Nagato nodded politely at Deidara and said, “Yes, Senpai. I will remember it.”
Sasori, “…”
Deidara, “…”
This newcomer was obviously very polite, but it made the two of them feel that they had provoked someone they should not have!
“Alright, alright.”
As the most qualified Senpai, Sasori felt that he should be a peacemaker, “Since Uehara has done what he asked us to do, let’s go eat boiled eggs!”
That was Deidara’s favorite activity.
Sure enough, Deidara was immediately attracted by Sasori’s words. He excitedly placed his hand on Sasori’s shoulder and said, “Ahahaha… As expected of Sasori. You know me so well! Let’s go quickly!”
“… Yes.”
Sasori nodded, but he felt that his shoulder was a little strange.
It was obvious that the tongue on Deidara’s palm was licking his clothes. Sasori immediately glared at Deidara with an ugly expression, “Idiot, let go of my shoulder!”
“Don’t mind me, Senpai!”
Deidara laughed and let go of his palm. Soon, he took out a new giant clay bird as a mount, “Let’s go now!”
Deidara was good at livening up the atmosphere.
Wherever this guy was, the air was always filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
While Akatsuki went to eat delicious food, Suna Ninja and Konoha’s Ninjas were amidst a sad parting.
After everyone gathered together, everyone tacitly agreed that this rescue had failed. After all, what Sunagakure needed was a living Kazekage, not a corpse.
Temari immediately hugged her brother’s corpse and burst into tears.
As an elder sister, seeing her brother’s corpse, Temari could not accept reality, especially since her biggest wish was to be able to take care of her two younger brothers.
Naruto did not know what to say, and the group could only silently watch Temari hug Gaara’s corpse and cry.
“Temari, get out of the way first!”
Chiyo sighed and moved Temari’s shoulder away. She sat beside Gaara and closed her palm. Her body trembled slightly as she said, “Sunagakure, ah, I can’t lose another qualified Kazekage…”
“Granny?”
Temari was pulled up in confusion. She looked at Chiyo in surprise.
She couldn’t quite understand what Chiyo meant.
Uehara sighed in his heart. Looking at Chiyo slowly forming hand seals, he had already recognized what those hand seals were.
Forbidden technique, Kishō Tensei (One’s Own Life Reincarnation).
She could transfer her life to someone else.
In the end, this old woman still walked on her own path, sacrificing herself for Sunagakure’s future. Perhaps this was also what she was truly willing to do.
After her son and his wife died in the war, Sasori could not bear the pain of losing his parents, so she studied this forbidden technique.
This forbidden technique was called One’s Own Life Reincarnation. It could transfer one’s life to others, and it could also use all of its own Chakra to exchange for the revival of its target.
Originally, she wanted to use this forbidden technique to reverse life and death to revive Sasori’s parents so that he would not develop an obsession and chase his parents. Unfortunately, before she had the time, Sasori had already killed Third and fled the village.
Now, it seemed that it was time to use it…
“Granny!”
Temari suddenly stretched out her palm, wanting to rush towards Chiyo. After all, this old woman took care of and raised them after the Fourth Kazekage died in battle. The relationship between the three siblings and Chiyo was too good!
“Don’t stop me.”
Chiyo’s arm was unusually strong. She lowered her head to look at Gaara’s face and even revealed a smile, “Although I didn’t nurture that little fellow Kankuro into a qualified puppet master, I trained this little fellow Gaara into a qualified Kazekage…”
“Granny!”
Seeing Chiyo’s tears falling like rain, Temari subconsciously echoed, “It’s Kankuro who is not smart enough!”
“It doesn’t matter.”
A smile appeared on Chiyo’s face. She used her eyes to comfort Temari and softly said, “In my later years, I was able to take care of the three of you. This is the bond between us. Don’t be sad about my pa.s.sing.”
Chiyo slowly finished her last hand seal. She slowly reached out and covered Gaara’s chest. She whispered, “Gaara is of great importance. There is no Kazekage more suitable than him in the village now…”
No one could replace Gaara.
The current Sunagakure was too weak. The only person left in the entire village who could be called a Kage-level Ninja was Gaara.
It was inevitable that Chiyo would use her own life to replace Gaara’s life. She had to leave a future for Sunagakure.
Otherwise, Sunagakure might not be able to support the next Kazekage, and it was very likely that other ninja villages would replace them as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages!
Especially Amegakure right next to them!
“Before I leave, I have two more words. Help pa.s.s them to Gaara for me.”
Chiyo slowly turned to look at Temari and softly said her last words, “The alliance between Sunagakure, Konoha, and Amegakure can not be abandoned. Ninjas will always have different agendas. Gaara can’t be merciful if he wants Sunagakure to be strong again. The future peace of the world depends on you young people…”
Chiyo raised her head and looked at the sad faces of Konoha Ninjas. Her life force gradually began to decline, and the chakra in her body also rapidly declined…
One’s Own Life Reincarnation, activate!
Uehara stretched out his palm and placed it on her body. Astral Infusion transferred a huge amount of Chakra and life energy into Chiyo’s body.
However, this could not change her fate.
Once the One’s Own Life Reincarnation began, it would continuously extract her chakra and life. Even if Uehara instilled more chakra and life energy into her, it was useless.
The only thing he could do was to delay her death.
Chiyo felt the energy that Uehara injected into her body, and her eyes were mixed with a trace of disbelief. She trembled and looked at Uehara. “I didn’t expect that Uehara-dono’s medical ninjutsu to be so powerful. It is not inferior to Tsunade-dono. It can almost bring a person back to life, but don’t waste your precious power on me, an old woman who is about to die…”
“I just want to give you some time to say some last words.”????w??n?ν??. c?ｍ
Uehara shook his head and laughed at himself. He spread his hands and said, “In any case, I am Sunagakure’s friend, but I didn’t achieve anything during the battle here. The one who saved Kazekage, in the end, was still Chiyo-dono…”
“No, if not for you, we wouldn’t have been able to take back Gaara’s body. This time, it is really thanks to you and everyone in Konoha.”
Chiyo looked straight at Uehara’s sad face, then turned to look at the other Konoha Ninjas present, and suddenly laughed, “When I see you, young people, before I leave, I will feel that the future of the Ninja World has a new hope…”
“…”
Uehara quietly listened to Chiyo’s praise.
He didn’t know if this old woman knew that not only would he not become hope in the future, but he would become the despair of the Ninja World. Would her spirit in heaven be able to rest?
No, or it should be said that it was not stable, to begin with.
According to Kabuto’s personality, he would dig up graves whenever he saw them. Kabuto probably would not be willing to let go of a ninja like Chiyo, who could use puppets to use poison.
Uehara raised her head and glanced at Chiyo. He sighed faintly in his heart. He was really looking forward to the next meeting. He wondered if Chiyo would hate herself for not being able to see people clearly…
Chiyo did not know what Uehara was thinking. She was still earnestly warning Temari, “…the Sunagakure’s future will depend on you… The future of the Ninja World will depend on you young people…”
After saying that, Chiyo’s body gradually became silent.
Temari stared blankly at Chiyo, leaving with a smile. For a moment, she did not react. After a while, she suddenly cried out, “Granny!”
“…”
The other Konoha Ninjas also felt uncomfortable.
They didn’t expect to save Kazekage by making a ninja, who had sacrificed her entire life for Sunagakure, die.
Just as everyone was feeling sad, a trace of vitality gradually appeared on Gaara. He slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously stroked his lower abdomen, “What is going on? Haven’t I already…”
“It’s Chiyo-dono.”
Uehara looked down at Gaara. After seeing Kazekage revive, he frowned and responded, “It was Chiyo-dono who used her own life to get you back from the Underworld.”
“Uehara!”
Gaara’s expression suddenly changed, “What are you doing here?”
Just as Uehara wondered if his ident.i.ty had been leaked and wondered if he should silence everyone present or wait to see how shocked they were when they learned of his ident.i.ty?
It shouldn’t be…
When Ichibi was pulled out and sealed, Gaara was unconscious the entire time.
Just as Uehara was lost in his thoughts, Temari hurriedly grabbed his younger brother’s arm and whispered, “Gaara, it was Uehara-dono who saved you from Akatsuki this time. Don’t be blinded by the hatred and fear of the past!”
Gaara, “…”
For a moment, Gaara couldn’t wrap his head around it.
At this time, he didn’t know what expression he should use to treat Uehara. After all, when he met this guy during the Chunin Exam, he bullied him.
Naruto seemed to understand Gaara’s feelings very well. He stepped forward and patted his shoulder, “Although Uehara’s character is very bad and he always bullies the weak, his nature is actually not bad!”
Naruto put his arm around Gaara’s shoulder and continued to explain, “I guess this guy is afraid that we will become too strong when we grow up, so he can only bully us when we are young… Gaara, don’t mind what happened when we were young. We are all adults now!”
Gaara, “…”
Uehara, “…”
The Konoha Ninjas, “…”
Although Uehara also felt that what Naruto said was reasonable, he still vaguely felt that something was wrong.
However, Temari quickly told Gaara the whole story. This young man let go of his past grudge and took the initiative to extend his palm towards Uehara.
Uehara did not hesitate. He narrowed his eyes and smiled as he held Gaara’s hand. This time, Sunagakure and Amegakure had regained the hope of peace!
It was simply outrageous.
Just when everyone thought that this mission had ended perfectly.
Naruto clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, “It’s a pity that we are at a disadvantage this time. We didn’t manage to catch a member of Akatsuki and get information about Sasuke!”
Sure enough, Konoha’s Ninjas didn’t come to rescue Gaara. They also wanted to take the opportunity to get information about Sasuke.
Sasuke was also a member of Akatsuki!
To be blunt, the current Sasuke was very strong. Perhaps it was because of Itachi’s unintentional guidance and teaching. Uehara even thought that the current Sasuke was probably stronger than the Sasuke in the anime!
“I do have some information about Sasuke…”
Uehara thought of Sasuke, who was still working hard to a.s.sa.s.sinate Itachi, and whispered, “Maybe you don’t know, but Sasuke is not the proud boy I once knew. It is said that he single-handedly conquered a country half a year ago…”
“What?”
Everyone’s face was full of disbelief.
Logically speaking, shouldn’t conquering a country be done by that kind of S-cla.s.s rebel? When did their little friends also achieve this?
Sasuke had a promising future…
No, he has become too evil!
A trace of lingering fear appeared on Uehara’s face. He whispered, “If you meet Sasuke, you must be careful. When I met him last time, I felt that I was far from being his opponent. The Sharingan is worthy of being the number one bloodline limit in the ninja world…”
