"Lord Jiraiya, you all get back a little further…"
Sasuke Uchiha looked at the menacing blonde youth in the distance and sketched a slight smile. "That guy is very interesting. He's going to kill himself…"
"What a joke!"
"I'm telling the truth…" Sasuke Uchiha frowned and pushed Naruto Uzumaki, signaling for him to get lost, but his words were merciless. "He's just like a little toy. If you poke him, that guy will self-destruct!"
"…"
Sweat was beading on Deidara's forehead. He was constantly observing the battle situation. It wasn't his style to abandon Sasori and flee in a hurry.
In any case, there was no escape…
The time from when Sasori engaged in battle to when his regeneration core was ripped out by Sasuke Uchiha was terrifyingly short, barely giving Deidara enough time to create a group of explosive twin-winged birds and explosive spiders.
Sasuke watched as Jiraiya and the others left, then turned his head to continue looking at the nervous Deidara. In his own world, he knew this person, Deidara, all too well…
Petty and vengeful. If he couldn't beat the older brother, he'd go and bully the younger one.
Sasuke Uchiha glanced at the motionless red-haired human puppet on the ground, and step by step, he approached Deidara. He looked at the group of small spiders in front of the blonde youth and tilted his head. "Still like to play with mud?"
How tragic…
This guy Deidara's explosive clay was naturally countered by lightning-natured chakra, and the lightning-natured chakra in Sasuke's body was the most active…
Zzzzt!
A bolt of lightning struck the explosive spider in front of Deidara. The small spiders twitched a few times and then stopped moving. The explosion-style chakra within them was instantly destroyed…
"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
Deidara suddenly took out a doll from his pouch, threw it fiercely at Sasuke, and was about to form a hand seal to detonate it!
A bolt of lightning instantly pierced through the doll!
Sasuke waved his hand to dismiss the lightning at his fingertips, stepped forward to grab the clay doll, and chuckled a few times. "As expected of a genius ninja from the Land of Earth. The toys you make are really crude… Hey, Deidara, are you really not considering using Dust Release?"
Dust Release my ass!
He never even learned Dust Release, okay!
"Bastard!"
Deidara gritted his teeth, picked up his pouch, and poured all the clay into his mouth. He wanted to directly use his final self-destruction jutsu!
"Hey, don't be so irritable in your next life…"
Sasuke Uchiha watched with a full smile as Deidara prepared to self-destruct. He raised his palm and waved. "Goodbye, Deidara!"
The blonde youth roared, "You bastard, die with me!"
"How could I possibly die…"
Sasuke Uchiha suddenly grabbed his head and said in a low voice, "Even a Tailed Beast Bomb is nothing to fear in front of me, let alone some children's playthings!"
BOOM!
The shockwave of the explosion swept over everything!
The violent explosion caused the flames to form a peculiar shape!
Sasuke stood amidst the flames and explosion, the corner of his eye twitching uncontrollably as he remembered that crow's words. "Art is… Patrick Star? What the hell!"
After the smoke from Deidara's self-destruction had cleared, the little brat, somewhat dissatisfied, went back to find Naruto and the others. However, he had a vague feeling that the situation had gotten a little out of control.
Granny Chiyo was lying on the ground, silent…
And beside her, the red-haired Gaara and Sakura were kneeling on either side, holding Granny Chiyo's arm and weeping bitterly. Naruto was comforting them from the side, and Jiraiya was standing on a high point, looking into the distance, his thoughts unknown…
"This red-haired guy, how was he revived…"
Sasuke Uchiha's brow furrowed tightly. He subconsciously touched his own eyes. "Don't tell me she can also use the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu…"
That was the forbidden ocular jutsu of him and his brother!
Theoretically, only the Rinnegan could use it!
"Chiyo used a jutsu called the One's Own Life Reincarnation. It can revive the recently deceased…" Jiraiya shook his head. "She used her own life in exchange for the Fifth Kazekage, who protects the Hidden Sand."
"…Isn't that a jutsu researched by Orochimaru!"
Sasuke Uchiha pressed his temples and said in a low voice, "One's Own Life Reincarnation, Living Corpse Reincarnation, and Edo Tensei are the three jutsu Orochimaru is best at…"
Just by hearing the names, you could tell how much Orochimaru feared death!
That guy had really studied the relationship between the soul and the body through and through!
"You're saying that guy Orochimaru has also mastered a jutsu that can revive the dead!" Jiraiya then looked at Sasuke with some confusion. "That doesn't seem right. The One's Own Life Reincarnation is a self-sacrificing jutsu. He doesn't seem like the type…"
"No, that's because he can deceive death!"
Sasuke tapped his own arm and said in a deep voice, "That guy Orochimaru's cunning can even hide from the Shinigami, and he has long since laid countless seeds of his soul!"
"…The last time I saw Orochimaru was three years ago… Has that guy improved so much in three years?" Jiraiya's face grew uglier and uglier. "The old man used his own soul as the price to seal his hands and the First and Second Hokage, I never thought…"
"In any case, we'll know once we investigate!"
Sasuke tilted his head and looked at the still-crying group. "Naruto, do you see? It's because she didn't have enough power that she had to sacrifice her own life…"
Jiraiya: "…"
Sakura Haruno: "…"
Naruto Uzumaki: "…"
Granny Chiyo's sacrifice was such a moving thing. How did it become a negative example in Sasuke's mouth?
"Sasuke Uchiha!" Gaara suddenly stood up, sand swirling with his movement. A fist made of sand shot out, seized Sasuke, and lifted him up. The great Fifth Kazekage said angrily, "What right do you have to comment on Granny Chiyo…"
"Red hair… as annoying as ever!"
Sasuke Uchiha looked down at Gaara on the ground and said calmly, "Even the One-Tail Shukaku wouldn't dare to make a scene in front of me… A mere empty shell that has lost its Tailed Beast actually has the guts to provoke me?"
"Gaara…" Naruto awkwardly grabbed his friend's arm. "We were able to save you this time all because of Sasuke's help…"
"That's right…"
A trace of worry appeared on Sakura's face. They had just rescued the Fifth Kazekage. If he were to be killed by Sasuke now, the impact would not be very good.
The sand and dust suddenly receded…
Gaara let out a light breath, manipulating the sand back into his gourd. At this moment, he had returned to being the young and mature Lord Kazekage. "This time, thank you all…"
"We're friends, after all…"
"Tch!"
Sasuke looked unhappily at Naruto, who was exchanging pleasantries with the redhead. The giant purple Susanoo suddenly unfurled. "Let's go! After we get back, we still have to go to the Hidden Grass Village to investigate Orochimaru's whereabouts!"
"Wait, Sasuke, you're back now…" Naruto's eyes were filled with a hint of innocence. "We don't need to investigate Orochimaru anymore…"
"No, it's necessary."
Jiraiya walked up to Sasuke's side and said in a deep voice, "Orochimaru is hiding his strength. He must have an even greater conspiracy!"
Gaara spoke up from the side. "At that time, I will send Sasori with you…"
At some point, Sasori, who had been revived using his regeneration core, was hiding in a patch of forest. It was unknown how he had been accepted back into the Hidden Sand by Gaara…
Sasuke looked at this one, then at that one. The two redheads were exceptionally jarring to his eyes.
"Granny Chiyo, Sasori is actually a very pitiful person…" Naruto looked at Sasori's youthful face and sighed. "He's finally willing to face his past! I estimate we will be cooperating often in the future!"
Sasuke Uchiha was stunned for a moment. He looked at Sasori, who had an expression of great enlightenment, and glanced at Naruto beside him. "What nonsense have you been telling him now?"
"I'm not talking nonsense!"
Naruto shook his head. "Big Brother Sasori just lost his parents since he was a child and longed for their love… Just like me…"
"…"
Sasuke felt a bit of a headache.
