Naruto: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Otsutsuki

Chapter 84 Naruto Uzumaki?!

"Isn't this a good deal?"

Standing atop the crossbeam, Ao looked down at Chiyo, who was lost in thought, and said softly, "Of course, if Elder Chiyo is busy with village affairs and cannot spare the time for the time being—"

He slightly shook the scroll in his hand. "I can also help you catch Sasori of the Red Sand and bring him to you."

"After it's done, all I want is this forbidden technique."

Ao didn't press further, but instead stopped talking, giving Chiyo time to think and remain silent.

On one hand, it was because he knew very well how much the name Sasori of the Red Sand meant to Chiyo.

On the other hand, it is because at this moment, Hinata Seiran's consciousness is in an extremely subtle state of multitasking.

Meanwhile, his main body was rushing towards the location of the Leaf Village's position at an extremely fast speed.

On the other hand, he also had to use Qing's body to continuously observe all the movements in the secret chamber.

Originally, when transferring his consciousness to Ao, Hinata Aoran thought everything would go very smoothly.

After all, as long as they can avoid the few remaining guards in the Sunagakure village amidst the current chaos, infiltrate this place, and find the target scroll, the mission will be halfway complete.

But what he didn't expect was...

The so-called "reincarnation" before my eyes is only a half-finished product.

Strictly speaking, even a truly complete surgical framework has not yet been fully established.

The scroll is incomplete in parts concerning chakra conversion, life force transmission, and the connection between mind and body.

Although the core logic has begun to take shape, it is clearly still a long way from being able to be fully implemented.

As for the remaining half, whether Chiyo hadn't figured it out yet, or whether she already had an idea but hadn't had time to write it down, Hinata Seiran couldn't determine for the time being.

Left with no other choice, he could only keep Ao in the secret room and wait for Chiyo to appear.

Then, they used Sasori's information as leverage to gain her compromise.

After all, the name Scorpion held immense weight in Chiyo's heart.

It was heavy enough to overshadow many of her judgments about the village, the rules of the ninja, and even her stance on the war.

In the original work, Chiyo always maintained hope for Sasori.

Even after learning that Sasori and Deidara had kidnapped Gaara together, her first thought was not to completely sever ties with Sasori, but to resurrect Sasori's parents in order to bring back the child who had long since strayed from the right path.

As for what Sasori actually did after joining Akatsuki, that might not be the most fatal factor for Chiyo.

After all, the one who actually captured the One-Tailed Jinchuriki was Deidara.

Not a scorpion.

Of course, when Chiyo finally learned that the Third Kazekage had indeed died at Sasori's hands, she ultimately chose to put the greater good before her own family—but that's another story.

Therefore, Hinata Seiran judged that Chiyo would definitely waver now.

Because in her current understanding, Scorpion was far from being beyond redemption.

In her eyes, Scorpion had simply disappeared and left the village.

They wouldn't be completely labeled as enemies of the village.

Moreover, Chiyo has never been the type to give up easily.

'

For a moment, only Chiyo's soft breathing could be heard in the secret room.

She remained silent, her gaze slowly shifting away from the scroll, then gently lifting back to land on Qing's face.

To be honest, she was moved.

Since the Third Kazekage "disappeared," Sasori has also disappeared.

In recent years, there have been various opinions among the village's higher-ups about this.

Some say the death of the Third Kazekage may be related to Sasori, while others believe it was simply the work of an external enemy.

After all, the Third Kazekage's strength was undeniable, and there were only a handful of people in the entire ninja world who could make him disappear without a trace.

Some have even boldly speculated that all of this might be inextricably linked to Konoha.

Chiyo and Ebizo, however, always leaned more towards the latter.

From any perspective, the idea that "Sasori killed the Third Kazekage" seems absurd and outrageous.

Even though Sasori was exceptionally gifted and displayed extraordinary puppetry skills from a young age, it was still a stretch to say that he could kill the Third Kazekage, who was hailed as the strongest Kazekage in history, at the age of 10.

This claim is still too hard to believe.

In recent years, Sunagakure has been deeply embroiled in the conflicts between various ninja villages. With constant battles on the front lines and undercurrents of power struggles within the village, Chiyo has been forced to become involved in the situation time and time again.

Even so, she never gave up searching for Scorpion.

She even devoted a great deal of energy to researching, deducing, and perfecting forbidden techniques for the sake of that child.

She hoped that one day she could use this technique to fill the unhealable void deep within Scorpion's heart.

If Sasori is willing to return, his position as the Fifth Kazekage is practically a done deal.

Chiyo always believed that as long as Sasori could be brought back, there was still hope for Sunagakure.

Should I say yes?

Chiyo silently asked herself this question.

However, another concern quickly surfaced in my mind.

The person before me seems inextricably linked to Shukaku's rampage.

Moreover, what would happen if this forbidden technique, which can reverse life and death and touch the boundaries between the soul and the body, fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives?

Chiyo dared not think any further.

Just as she hesitated, Qing seemed to have sensed the wavering in her heart.

"Shukaku's rampage wasn't my doing. It was the work of the Konoha ninja..."

"I was just defending myself when it attacked me."

Qing tilted her head slightly, her expression calm.

However, Chiyo remained silent and did not immediately express her opinion.

A moment later, Hinata Seiran sighed softly to himself.

It seems you're still hesitating.

That being the case.

Then we'll have to resort to those old-fashioned but effective methods from our first life.

"Sigh... since Elder Chiyo is unwilling..."

Qing suddenly sighed, her tone tinged with regret, as if she were truly ready to give up.

"Then I'll have to take my leave. Although I really admire your ninjutsu, the ninja world is so vast, perhaps there are others elsewhere who know it too?"

He paused for a moment, then casually tossed out a name.

"For example—Orochimaru."

After saying that, Qing made a move to leave.

"etc...

'

Finally, Chiyo's expression changed completely.

She spoke almost instinctively, her voice even carrying a hint of urgency.

"You can have the ninjutsu. But you don't need to worry about my grandson."

She stared at Qing and said, slowly and deliberately, "You just need to tell me your location."

That's fine.

Dawn slowly broke through the sky.

Near the border of the Land of Wind, the murky gray sky, churned up by explosions, chakra storms, and sandstorms, was finally dispelled little by little under the golden sunlight.

The once vast and desolate natural landscape has now revealed its outline again.

The sandy ground, rocky cliffs, sparse dead trees, and the gradually clearing horizon in the distance all appeared quiet and vast in the morning light.

"We finally succeeded!"

Hinata Seiran pulled himself out of that thought and swiftly traversed the vast wilderness.

Although he doesn't know where Sasori of the Red Sand is right now.

But that didn't stop him from using information about Scorpion to negotiate with Chiyo.

Chiyo's forbidden technique has not yet been fully developed, so there is still plenty of time.

Now that the deal has been reached, all that's left is to wait for Chiyo's follow-up instructions.

"I just don't know what the principle behind this forbidden technique that can reverse life and death is."

Hinata Seiran was deep in thought as he traveled.

Resurrection-type ninjutsu is not actually unique in the ninja world.

For example, the reincarnation of a celestial being, the impure world rebirth, and the dragon's life reincarnation in Kusagakure.

Even Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu can be considered one of the methods that touches the soul level.

However, each technique has extremely strict costs and limitations, and it is by no means something that can be done casually.

"The ninja world is so vast, there are quite a few strange and unusual abilities here—"

He traversed between the secret forest and the wilderness, and at the edge of his vision, the outline of the capital of the River Kingdom gradually came into view.

Originally, Hinata Seiran wasn't particularly interested in that place.

But just then, he suddenly stopped.

In Bai Yan's view, there seemed to be a very special mark left on the signboard of a post station by the roadside outside the capital.

The pattern is one that only a time traveler could recognize at a glance.

A simple sketch of an anime avatar.

Golden spiky hair with six whisker stripes.

Naruto Uzumaki?!

Hinata Seiran's eye twitched slightly.

"This is... left behind by my shadow clone?"

After confirming that he hadn't misread it, Hinata Seiran couldn't help but chuckle twice.

Before taking action, he deliberately left enough chakra for his shadow clones so that they could bring the Konoha delegation back to the base to report the news.

According to the original plan, the shadow clone should have finished sending the message and then waited for his main body to return.

But now, this mark has actually appeared inside the Land of Rivers.

"It seems—"

"Orochimaru has already started the war."
