Hokage: Ryo's Path

Chapter 460

“Escape? They can go, but you can’t!” Shisui snorted, holding Susanoo’s arm, and grabbed Sasori.


Sasori’s body had completely transformed into a Puppet. He used the organs in his body to shoot two steel wires and used them to escape Shisui’s attack. He ran towards the door without hesitation.


Deidara pinched a giant dragon clay when he saw this chance and flew away with it.


Shisui didn’t care about Deidara; his purpose was only Sasori.


Sasori didn’t know why Shisui was chasing after him. Seeing Shisui getting closer to him, Sasori clenched his teeth and gave up running away.


“Uchiha Shisui, did I do something bad to your clan? Why?”


“No, you didn’t. But you have offended someone more important than the Uchiha Clan. Are you the one who hurt Lord Pakura of Sunagakure?”


Sasori noticed Shisui called Pakura “Lord”. Sasori knows that Shisui is stronger than Pakura. And even with how good the relationship between Konoha and Sunagakure is, Shisui wouldn’t call Pakura “Lord”.


So why…


Shisui sneered and said, “You seem to have thought of it too! Yes, Lord Pakura is my teacher’s wife. In other words, she is my teacher too.”


Sasori’s body trembled when he heard this. He then desperately tried to run away.


“I won’t let you run away! HACHICHITOMOE!” Shisui threw two huge green tomoes in the direction of Sasori’s escape,


Sasori opened the seal Scroll and took out dozens of Puppets. The Chakra line in his hands controlled Puppet to form a wall to block it in front of him and resist Shisui’s tomoe.


Tomoe exploded instantly when he came in contact with Puppet. All ten Puppets were blown up. Sasori was blown away, too, due to the blast. Shisui snorted coldly, Susanoo evolved again, and a pair of wings was born on the back, flying towards Sasori.


Sasori’s was faster than Shisui even though he can’t fly, but after a few steps, Shisui caught up. Sasori’s expression was a little desperate, and just then… Sakura and Chiyo arrived.


Sakura saw the green giant, and she can feel the sudden rushed feeling of horror Chakra from it. Her face became pale. Seeing this, Chiyo stood in front of Sakura, “I didn’t expect to see Susanoo after a few years. Little girl, don’t worry that this person should be your Konoha people, the Uchiha Clan.”


“How can the Uchiha clan be so terrifying?”


“This is the taboo Dojutsu that Uchiha Clan’s Sharingan got after opening Mangekyou Sharingan.”


Shisui heard both of them talking, and he twisted his lips to lift Susanoo, leaving only one arm to grab Sasori.


“Lord Shisui? Why are you here?” Sakura asked, surprised.


Cough cough, I’m here to protect you, but you are too slow. I have found Gaara. But you haven’t come yet so I can’t do anything. Unfortunately, we were still one step late… Gaara’s Bijuu was stripped, leaving only a small half of Shukaku’s Chakra.” Shisui explained.


“What about this person? What’s going on?” Sakura asked.


“His name is Sasori. He is Missing-nin of Sand Ninja. This time, he hurt Lord Pakura. The relationship between her and my teacher must be clear to you, so I don’t need to explain anymore, right?”


Sakura didn’t ask and just nodded, while Chiyo, on the other hand, had a complicated look when she saw Sasori.


“That’s it. Your mission is over, quite early. Gaara is in the cave over there. Hana is helping me to look out for him, but I’m still worried about their safety. Come with me!” Said Shisui walking towards the cave.


Chiyo and Sakura follow closely from behind. Chiyo hung her head low all the way, looking deeply worried.


………


After a while, the three of them arrived. When Chiyo and Sakura saw Gaara, they rushed over, and the two checked his condition.


When the two checked, Shisui noticed that Chakra of Ichibi had been sealed to Gaara’s body. He asked Hanayo again, “Hana, did you put the remaining Chakra seal in Shukaku into Gaara’s body?”


Hanayo nodded, “Well, I want to try to save him, but …”


“It’s okay. It’s impossible anyway. Bijuu can’t survive when they lose their… Hey! Chiyo, what are you doing?” Shisui stopped mid-sentence when she saw that Chiyo’s life force was being continuously injected into Gaara’s body.


Hanayo quickly opened Byakugan and saw Chiyo transferring her life force to Gaara.


Chiyo said with a smile, “I worked my whole life for the prosperity of Sunagakure. I couldn’t let Kazekage die before me. Not to mention that it was my grandson who killed him and Sandaime too. If Gaara still dies because of him, I really have no face to see his parents. This is also my atonement!”


Sasori, who was still being grasped by Shisui, looked at Chiyo’s back. His mind can’t help but think this appeared like his parents when he was young.


A few minutes later, Chiyo’s lifeforce was transferred to Gaara completely. She then said, “Gaara, I hope you will be a great Kazekage, to lead Sand Ninja to a better future. This time I’m going to die…”


“…Sasori, goodbye!”


After saying that, Chiyo slowly closed her eyes, smiled, and said goodbye to the world. Sasori froze and then frantically struggled. Hana tugged at Shisui’s cloth. Shisui sighed and dropped Sasori.


Sasori walked slowly to Chiyo, his mouth twitched. He said, “Old woman, who wants you to help me atone for my sins? I’m Sasori of the Red Sand!” After saying that, Sasori’s palm fell off, revealing an arm with a dagger that pierced his core directly.


Sasori’s action caused both Hana and Sakura to be shocked. After recovering from the shock, Hanayo asked, “Shisui, why do you not save him?” With your speed, you can…”


“Because this is the best ending for him! I heard from my teacher that Sasori lost his parents from an early age. Chiyo has been busy with Sunagakure’s government affairs and has little time to accompany him. Sasori can only make his own Puppet to accompany him. For someone who doesn’t know his family, he can feel that his grandma loves him at the end of his life. “


Hanayo sighed and said, “You’re right. This is the best ending.”


“Okay, don’t be sad. Don’t you want to go back to Sunagakure? Let’s go now. Sakura, I will leave you here; Gaara should be awake soon. You explain to him that he is the Kazekage. It’s up to him to make all these decisions!”


After that, Shisui took Hanayo away.


………


A few minutes later, Gaara was awake, and Sakura explained everything that had happened before, following Shisui and Gaara.
