Kakashi stood in front of a small sapling, loosening his hands around his chest. His dark green vest of Konoha became somewhat damaged after the battle.
His eyes flashed with sadness, and he immediately looked around. As a gust of cool wind blew by, his short silver hair swayed in the wind.
The border of the Land of Rain in late winter and early spring.
It still gives people a cold feeling.
Kakashi could only respect Chiyo's determination, which felt a bit pity, but he could neither say anything nor say anything at this time.
He was like a scarecrow standing in the field swaying in the wind, quietly feeling this sadness.
"Then... everyone, if we are destined, I believe we will meet again soon."
Chiyo curled up her chapped lips, looked at Ohnoki, and said with a smile, "That's right, Ohnoki!"
Onoki, who had red nose and rosacea, wanted to retort to the old lady, but seeing this situation, he finally chose to lower his proudly raised head and let out a long sigh.
"Humph, I... ugh!"
Onoki stopped mid-sentence.
He rolled his eyes at Chiyo who was smiling happily.
Seeing Chiyo's old face that looked at him, Ohnoki thought of those who were his old rivals and his peers. Those people in the ninja world who imagined that they were the masters of the new era when they were young, imagined that they were the masters of the new era. The old guys who are the geniuses of the ninja world.
Now, they are gone one by one...
Onoki's eyes were wet unconsciously, and he joked in his heart, okay, we are all gone, so we don't have to face you annoying old people anymore...
Think of this.
Ohnoki looked at Bai Yu who was standing next to Chiyo, and sighed in his heart:
"But I still have to face little guys who are more difficult than you old guys. I really hope you will have the opportunity to face them and feel my helplessness."
After Chiyo finished teasing Ohnoki, he then looked at Kakashi, who was quietly patrolling the surrounding forest like a scarecrow. There was still a trace of hatred in his eyes, and he said harshly:
"Kakashi, if I saw your father there, I think I would still not let him go."
Kakashi nodded slightly, looked sideways at the grass, and said "hmm" softly.
"Haha, Bai Yu, old lady, I don't want Sunagakure to be destroyed in the hands of my generation. If Sunagakure really can't survive in the ninja world, I hope that one day, you, Uchiha, can take his place."
Chiyo turned to Bai Yu, who was standing aside and thinking about something without saying a word, and spoke with difficulty.
While talking.
Dark blue balls of light emerged from Chiyo's hands pressing Gaara's body.
She used all her chakra to build a bridge of life, and through this channel, her own vitality was continuously injected into Gaara's body with his eyes closed.
"Haha, this was originally a ninjutsu I prepared to resurrect Scorpion's parents. It uses all of its own chakra as a medium to distribute life to others intact. Oh, by the way, it can also give life to puppets. I tried and failed..."
Chiyo's voice became softer and softer, her skin became drier and drier, and her short purple hair turned silvery white and finally pale.
Bai Yu knew that this technique was coming to an end.
Chiyo said these words for herself.
She was explaining the origin and function of magic.
Gaara, who was originally pale, had already turned rosy, his breath gradually stabilized, and he looked like an ordinary person who had fallen into a deep sleep.
Just as Chiyo held her breath and concentrated, inputting the last trace of her own vitality, her expression suddenly became extremely confused and complicated, as if the sky in her heart had collapsed. Her lips trembled and she said helplessly and sadly:
"No, no! Is Sunagakure really going to be cut off in my hands?"
Chiyo was unable to speak and kept shaking her head.
Ohnoki noticed the clue and hurriedly asked: "An accident happened?"
Kakashi also came together and carefully observed Gaara and Chiyo.
"There is something wrong with the soul energy of Gaara's body." Chiyo breathed hard and said weakly in a deep voice: "There is a mass of things that should not exist in his body, and it is incompatible with the life force I injected."
Bai Yu squatted down quickly, his brain spinning rapidly, and he thought of the "Human Path", "Hungry Ghost Path" and "Hell Path" among the Six Paths Painli who have strong soul abilities. Could they be doing something to Gaara's soul secretly? changed to a certain extent.
"What happened?" Ohnoki looked at Chiyo who was anxious and dying, confused, and then looked at Bai Yu who was standing aside with a solemn expression.
Kakashi was also confused about the situation.
It stands to reason that even if a ninja of Chiyo's level is old, he will not forget the ninjutsu he has learned. For an experienced ninja, there will be no chance of making mistakes in performing ninjutsu.
When facing an enemy in the ninja world, performing a wrong ninjutsu means that the chance of death increases several times. Chiyo will not make such a low-level mistake.
Bai Yu thought for a moment, suddenly woke up, and immediately turned on the kaleidoscope. The holy energy sword that summoned "Reincarnation and the Future" appeared in his right hand. Kakashi and Onoki's expressions became solemn.
next moment.
Bai Yu aimed the sharp energy sword at Gaara's heart. This move made everyone's eyes widen. Chiyo was weak and at the same time, he desperately said to stop: "No..."
This is how Luo Sha died in front of Chiyo!
Chiyo couldn't tell whether Bai Yu was an angel or a devil.
Bai Yu didn't take into account Chiyo's stop. The energy sword in his hand gently penetrated the skin above Gaara's heart, but it didn't go deep. The area around the sword tip that penetrated the skin was red, and everyone was puzzled. , he explained calmly:
"When escaping from that place, I snatched back a touch of Shukaku's energy from that monster's body. It was this energy that sustained Gaara until now."
As he spoke, the energy sword in Bai Yu's hand glowed with a pale golden light, and he meticulously extracted a stream of pale yellow energy from Gaara's body.
After hearing the explanation, Chiyo gradually drooped her eyes and eyelids. She breathed a sigh of relief when she felt that no weird energy tissue was entering her technique anymore, and sighed softly:
"Sorry, Bai Yu, I should trust you unconditionally, then, goodbye."
The words fell.
The last bit of Chiyo's life force was quickly injected into Gaara's body, and he fell sideways on the grass, losing all consciousness, as if he was integrated with heaven and earth.
Bai Yu looked at Chiyo at the end, sighed and stood up, putting away the energy sword that had absorbed Shukaku's power and the scroll of "Reincarnation through Life".
He knew that the Shukaku energy absorbed in this way would be sealed into his reincarnation seal.
In the original work, the Shukaku in Gaara's body was directly drained by the heretic demon, causing Gaara to have entered a state of death when he was rescued, and his body was completely clean. Chiyo's technique was naturally completed without any accidents.
Bai Yu almost did something bad with good intentions, causing Chiyo to die with her eyes closed.
The little Shukaku energy he snatched back from the heretic demon was put into Gaara's body.
This turned the 1 in Gaara's body that only contained his own soul energy into a 2, and this 2 was incompatible with the 3 that Chiyo had injected into Gaara's life force soul energy.
Just extract Shukaku's energy.
Chiyo's technique can be completed.
With a look of helplessness, Ohnoki squatted next to Chiyo, used the light and heavy technique on her gradually cold body, and sighed softly: "Let's go, old man, I will take you home."
After Bai Yu packed up the scroll, he and Kakashi helped Gaara up from the grass. The two of them expressed their respect to Chiyo, who had already narrowed his eyes and was "sleeping", and immediately stood up.
Even though Bai Yu was not familiar with Chiyo, his heart would be somewhat touched when someone died in front of him. Thinking about this, he cast his gaze on Gaara's face.
Kakashi looked at Chiyo who was being controlled by Ohnoki and floated gently in the air, then looked at Xing Baiyu and asked curiously: "Baiyu, are you really planning to raise Gaara?"
The meaning behind his words was clear.
Bai Yu led Uchiha to attack Sunagakure and killed Rasa. Everyone in the ninja world knew that he was Gaara's father-killing enemy.
The depth of hatred between the two people was almost the same as that between Kakashi himself and Chiyo who had just died.
And Gaara was still young.
Bai Yu is also young.
There is a high probability that the two of them will fight to the death in the future, and Kakashi doesn't understand why Chiyo made such a request to Bai Yu just now.
Bai Yu looked at Gaara's face and was startled, then said helplessly: "It depends on the situation!"
Kakashi was about to say something more when he saw Gaara's eyes covered in dark circles, which he was supporting, suddenly opened blankly, like a newborn baby, with no impurities in his eyes.
The first thing that caught his eye was Kakashi on the left, and then Gaara saw Bai Yu.
Gaara seemed to think of something. When he turned around again, he saw Chiyo suspended in mid-air by Ohnoki, and his memory regained a little bit.
Gaara asked blankly: "Who am I?"
"Gaara." Bai Yu explained additionally: "Your mother wants you to be a Shura who only loves yourself."
"Love yourself." Gaara's eyes became cloudy and disordered after hearing his name, and a storm of memories arose in his head.
Memories of the past came to mind bit by bit. When Gaara once again saw Chiyo floating only one meter above the ground, clear tears overflowed from his eyes. He gritted his teeth and let the tears slide down his face.
"Will you hate me?" Bai Yu came to Gaara, not caring about how the other person viewed him, and said softly: "If you hate me, just look for this feeling, grow up step by step, and finally seek revenge from me. "
It is not impossible for Bai Yu to take Gaara and his brother back to the Uchiha Ninja Village.
But you have to respect the other person’s feelings.
Although the idea of Gaara hating himself and growing up step by step is a bit twisted, based on Bai Yu's experience, this is very applicable to the ninja world.
Gaara looked at Chiyo's face, walked over, and picked him up.
Because of the blessing of the light and heavy technique, Chiyo's weight is nothing to Gaara who has just recovered.
"I don't like Luo Sa." Gaara said calmly, without any emotion in his voice. He looked sideways at Bai Yu and said indifferently: "But if it is possible, as a son, I will be the best in terms of strength and ability." As a person, I hope to gain his approval.”
Kakashi smelled something wrong in his words and sighed helplessly. This is the constant dispute in the ninja world.
Hatred is the most unbreakable shackle, an iron chain, which binds every ninja village in the ninja world. Once it starts, every ninja will eventually be unable to escape the fate of revenge and revenge.
Gaara changed the subject and continued indifferently:
"It's a fact that you killed Luo Sha, but it's also a fact that you saved me. I know that my life was given by Granny Qiandai, but without you, she didn't have the chance to give me life. Bai Yu, in fact, I have always been I envy you, I envy you for being able to break the word fate."
Bai Yu shook his head gently.
Break fate.
He didn't have that kind of ability. If he had, Chiyo wouldn't have died, and the storyline of the ninja world would have been completely disrupted by him.
The fact that he came to this world shows that he is also being guided by that illusory thing, but he has more golden fingers, so he seems to be thriving after breaking through.
Bai Yu knew that he had not escaped the prison called fate, but he was walking on this road!
As he spoke, Gaara carried Chiyo behind his back, looked sideways at the old woman with a peaceful face as she walked away, and asked calmly: "She should leave some explanation."
"Grandma Chiyo wants you to follow Bai Yu to practice in the Uchiha Ninja Village."
Kakashi knew that Bai Yu might not be able to speak easily, so he took the initiative and said calmly:
"Of course, I think Granny Chiyo also needs your consent. If you don't want to, no one will force you."
Gaara heard Chiyo's last concern for him from Kakashi's words. After thinking about it, he still shook his head and objected:
"Sorry, mother-in-law, I can listen to you on many things, but I can't do this. Even if I don't go to the Uchiha Ninja Village, I can still get the correct way to grow up."
The cool breeze blew by, making everyone's sleeves sway and their hair disheveled. The dark forest gave people an infinite chill.
"Then go back!"
Bai Yu was not surprised by Gaara's answer. After all, he was the enemy who killed his father.
Although Luo Sha is not dead, one day in the future, let Luo Sha uncover the truth of this matter by herself!
At this time, Luo Sha was probably still escorting Deidara.
…
…
night.
In a cave somewhere in the River Country.
The bonfire swayed.
Warm and quiet.
Bai Yu treated the remaining wounds on Kakashi and Onoki. Kakashi and Onoki originally thought that the minor injuries on their bodies could heal on their own, but they could not resist Bai Yu's enthusiasm and could only accept Bai Yu's treatment.
the other side.
Gaara stayed with Chiyo quietly. He ate very little at night. After experiencing this incident, he had matured more than a little, and he also had a clearer understanding of the future.
Since this life was bought by Chiyo.
Although Gaara didn't want to join Uchiha, he had to go down the path Chiyo wanted him to take. Besides, he was not alone in Sunagakure.
Ebizo, his sister, and brother will all help him!
Although Gaara was not confident, he finally felt at ease when he thought of the images of Chiyo constantly encouraging him.
After Bai Yu earned his proficiency in medical ninjutsu, he couldn't bear to see the lonely Gaara. He came to the inside of the cave and sat next to Gaara.
Gaara heard the noise, recovered from his meditation, glanced at Bai Yu, and then continued to lower his head.
Bai Yu looked at Chiyo who was in the cold area inside the cave, and took the initiative to say:
"I have treated Granny Chiyo's body with healing chakra. There are not many bacteria and there is no environment for anaerobic bacteria to grow. In addition, it has been blessed with light and heavy techniques. It will not go bad after being stored for several months. You don't have to worry."
Gaara nodded slightly and immediately added matches to the bonfire, and the blazing flames illuminated their faces.
"Thank you." Gaara took the initiative and said the words that he had never been able to say no matter what.
Bai Yu immediately turned on the kaleidoscope, opened his right palm, released some kind of energy, and explained at the same time:
"Speaking of thank you, there is a little guy who wants to meet you, and he also wants to say thank you."
