Chapter 163 The Deal with the Agent
Chapter 163 The Deal with the Agent
Deidara, Sasori who remained in his Hiruko form, and Chiba, who was carrying Gaara in one hand and had Temari in the other, walked out.
Then Chiyu said to Deidara and Sasori, "You two should leave first. I'll take care of things here."
"Huh?" Deidara was a little reluctant when he heard Qianyu's words: "I was saying I was going to show off my art! You really want to have a class reunion?"
"So you really want to go back to Iwagakure?" Chiba glanced at Deidara.
"Uh, never mind then." Deidara shook his head vigorously, then summoned his clay bird and stood on it.
Deidara waited for a while, but found that Sasori did not come up.
"Brother Sasori?" Deidara looked over in confusion, only to find that Sasori had been staring at one person ever since he came out.
She was an elderly woman with white hair and a short stature.
Looking at Chiyo, Deidara was initially puzzled, then suddenly realized: "Oh, Chiyo from the Sand Village, so this is Sasori-nii's milk..."
"If you don't want to be turned into a human puppet by me, then shut up!" Sasori forcefully interrupted Deidara.
After saying that, he also stepped onto Deidara's clay bird: "Let's go!"
The clay bird flapped its wings and gradually took off in full view of everyone.
Chiyo hurriedly stepped forward: "Scorpion, you've finally come back, and you won't even come out to see me?"
"There's no need, let's leave it at that!" The cold words came from the middle-aged man, Hiruko.
For Scorpion now, there is no difference between life and death.
Knowing that this mission was to the Land of Wind, he was already prepared to fight Chiyo.
But since Qianyu is here, there is no longer a suitable environment for a passionate battle, so it is better to leave.
Having said that, Deidara, understanding Sasori's current feelings, controlled the clay bird to accelerate its wings and head west. Only a stunned Chiyo and a resentful Naruto remained behind.
Watching the birds fly away, Naruto said angrily, "Kakashi-sensei, are we just going to let them go like this?"
"Gaara, Gaara was..."
"I know!" Kakashi said solemnly, "But we're already at our last gasp!"
"Besides, Qianyu hasn't left yet!"
"Damn it!" Kakashi's words brought Naruto back to his senses.
Just now, Chiyu's Wood Release clone had overwhelmed them all, making it hard for them to breathe. Now that his main body has appeared, they have lost all desire to fight.
The good news is that Chiba didn't have Akatsuki join her in surrounding the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki; she directly took him down, indicating that Chiba had other motives.
"Speak, Chiba, what else do you want to do?" Kakashi asked.
"As expected of Kakashi, he really understands me!" Chiyu smiled slightly and looked at Chiyo, who was still in a daze: "Elder Chiyo, let's make a deal!"
"What?" Chiyo suddenly snapped back to reality, recalling what Chiba had just said, and her expression immediately changed: "The Sand Village never makes deals with terrorists!"
"Phoenix Temple Senba, if you know what's good for you, return Gaara and Temari. Otherwise, the Sand Village will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
"Yes, yes, to the ends of the earth!" Chiyu casually replied, "Alright, Elder Chiyo, let's cut back on these politically correct platitudes. Making too many threats without following through only makes your Sand Village look weak."
"And I'm not making a deal with the Sand Village. My deal is with you!" Chiba looked at Chiyo's somewhat cloudy eyes.
"Is it me?" Chiyo didn't understand.
What could she possibly offer Chiyu in exchange for?
"How could there not be?" As if she had guessed Chiyo's thoughts, Chiba shook her head and placed Gaara in front of Chiyo: "Sakura, Elder Chiyo, please check!"
"Yes!" Sakura quickly came over, her hand glowing green as she touched Gaara.
Sakura only touched him a few times before withdrawing her hand in horror: "Gaara has no vital signs!"
"How is this possible?!" Upon hearing this, Naruto jumped up in shock.
"Sakura, are you sure you're not mistaken? Gaara, how could Gaara be..."
"No doubt about it." Chiyo, who hadn't even examined him, calmly said, "That's how it is when a Jinchuriki has their Tailed Beast's chakra extracted; they're doomed!"
"However, I think I know what you want."
"What?" Naruto looked at Chiyo in confusion, wondering what kind of riddle she and Chiba were talking about.
Qianyu smiled faintly: "It's so comfortable talking to smart people."
"Of course I also know that Gaara is not much of a bargaining chip for you, he's not the Kazekage."
"But what if I exchange it for a designated cast? With my talent, it's not impossible for me to use that spell to achieve the effect you desire!" Qianyu tempted.
"What!!?"
This time, Chiyo's composed expression finally crumbled.
She stared at Qianyu in astonishment, her breathing quickening: "Is this really true?!"
"Bao Zhen, I'm only responsible for casting the spell, not for catching people! You'll have to catch them yourself."
“Of course, no problem!” Chiyo agreed without hesitation, completely disregarding her previous resolute refusal to cooperate.
However, after their conversation, the deal was struck, but everyone else was completely baffled and had no idea what they had discussed.
Asuma gestured to Sakura with his eyes, and Sakura, understanding, stepped forward and asked, "Grandma Chiyo, what are you talking about?"
"..." Chiyo was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Reincarnation!"
Sakura: "What?"
"Reincarnation! It's a forbidden technique I developed myself that can inject life into a puppet and bring it back to life! However, during the development process, the puppet couldn't come back to life, but it unexpectedly achieved the effect of resurrecting the dead."
"Therefore, you can consider it a resurrection ninjutsu!"
"A resurrection ninjutsu?!" Naruto was the first to react: "Then wouldn't Gaara be able to...?"
“That’s right!” Chiyo nodded: “Gaara’s situation is undoubtedly one where he can be resurrected through the Reincarnation technique!”
"What Phoenix Temple Chiba means is that if I give her this technique, she will help us revive Gaara and at the same time give me another chance to use it!"
“But the problem is…” Chiyo stared at Chiyu, her eyes sharp: “By using the Reincarnation technique to revive someone, you’re sharing your own life force. Can you really bear to do that?”
"No need for you to worry about that. Just tell me if you're interested or not," Qianyu said decisively.
"Of course, if you can achieve the targeted casting you mentioned, I have no objection!"
Chiyo dreamed of changing Scorpion out of his puppet state.
“Very good!” Qianyu stretched out her fair hand: “Then, let’s exchange money for goods. Give me the scrolls of Magnet Release, Scorch Release, and the scroll of Reincarnation!”
"You also need Scorch Release and Magnet Release?"
"Of course, that's the price of Temari!"
"All right!"
Chiyo had no reason to hesitate. The Scorching Release and Magnet Release belonged to the village, but her grandson was hers: "It's a deal!"
You won't regret it!
And so, Chiba obtained two more bloodline limits from Chiyo.
Thus, we have learned the Swift Release of Wind and Thunder, the Ice Release of Wind and Water, the Scorching Release of Wind and Fire, the Magnet Release of Wind and Earth, the Boiling Release of Water and Fire, the Crystal Release of Fire and Earth, and the Wood Release of Water and Earth.
Of the ten special ninjutsu that can be created by combining the five chakra natures of wind, thunder, fire, earth, and water, Chiyu already possesses seven of them!
