Chapter 315: Chapter 315: The Death of Chiyo, The Revival of Gaara.
Chapter 315: The Death of Chiyo, The Revival of Gaara.
The outcomes of the two battles were naturally without suspense. Although the process was very difficult for Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, who fought Deidara, fortunately, the results were good, and both were killed.
During the battle between Sasuke and Deidara, Kakashi was almost always supporting from the sidelines without intervening. Only when Deidara was about to self-destruct did Kakashi, sensing danger, enter Sage Mode and use Kamui to transfer the self-destructing Deidara to another dimension, ensuring the safety of both lives.
The battle against Sasori, fought by Sakura, Naruto, and Granny Chiyo, was not easy either.
However, Sakura and Naruto could be said to be Sasori's natural enemies. In battles with others, aside from using puppets, Sasori's main method of attack was poison.
Sakura had already developed an antidote for Sasori's poison, and Naruto, due to the Nine-Tails chakra within him, could quickly expel the poison from his body with the Nine-Tails cloak, even if he was poisoned.
In terms of puppet combat, there was Chiyo. Although Sasori of the Red Sand was a genius puppeteer, Chiyo was not weak, and Hatake Satoru was also supporting from the side.
Although Hatake Satoru had made it clear that he would not intervene, Sasori's attention was occasionally on Satoru during the battle, which led to Sasori revealing many flaws.
Sakura and the others naturally did not miss this opportunity. Once Sasori of the Red Sand showed a flaw, Sakura and Naruto would strike him with a thunderous blow.
"But, Gaara..."
After the battle, Naruto walked over to Gaara's body. Looking at Gaara's body, tears kept streaming from Naruto's eyes. Although they had won the battle, Gaara had left them forever.
"Naruto, we've done what we should have done, we tried our best."
Kakashi walked up to Naruto, patted his shoulder, and spoke with a heavy tone, after all, the one lying before them was a village leader.
A disheveled Sasuke looked at Gaara's body, feeling very uncomfortable inside. He once considered Gaara his greatest rival and wanted to continue their unfinished battle from before, but now there was no chance.
"His life force has completely disappeared."
Sakura knelt beside Gaara's body, placing her hand over his heart, and shook her head as she spoke.
She felt a deep regret for Gaara's fate.
At that moment, Granny Chiyo slowly emerged from the crowd, knelt in front of Gaara, and with her hands radiating chakra, pressed them onto Gaara's body.
"What are you doing, Granny Chiyo?"
Naruto wanted to rush over and ask, but Sakura stopped him.
"Sakura?"
Naruto asked, puzzled.
"She's trying to bring Gaara back to life."
At these words, shock registered on the faces of Naruto and Sasuke. Resurrection was a forbidden jutsu, and most resurrections weren't true revivals.
"Resurrection? Can such a thing really be done?"
"It's Granny Chiyo's unique Ninjutsu."
At that moment, Naruto noticed that Granny Chiyo's chakra had significantly diminished.
"Granny, use my chakra. I have plenty of it."
"Alright."
Sasuke and Kakashi, standing behind the others, also noticed the uniqueness of this Ninjutsu. The cost of using such a jutsu to resurrect someone was enormous.
Only a few minutes had passed, and Naruto was already sweating profusely, surprised by the immense chakra consumption in such a short time.
But Naruto didn't give up. As long as there was a chance to revive Gaara, he was willing to expend as much chakra as needed.
"His life force is returning."
Suddenly, Sakura, who was observing, exclaimed with surprise.
"Did it work?"
At this point, Granny Chiyo's eyes seemed barely able to stay open; she was reaching her limit.
"Stop, Naruto, it's over."
"Oh."
Naruto responded, then withdrew his chakra and cradled Gaara in his arms.
Soon after, everyone noticed Gaara's eyelids flutter before slowly opening his eyes.
"Gaara."
Seeing Gaara awaken, Naruto immediately shouted with excitement.
"Naruto?"
Gaara spoke in a confused voice.
Then, Gaara looked around and saw Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi, Satoru, and the Sunagakure Ninja who had just arrived.
"What's this?"
Gaara said, bewildered.
"Everyone came to save you."
Naruto said with a smile, pleased with the happy ending. Not only had they defeated the two members of the Akatsuki, but they had also successfully rescued Gaara.
Seeing Gaara awake, the late-arriving ninjas from Sunagakure Village immediately hugged each other in groups of two and three, shouting excitedly.
Naruto, standing beside Gaara, was pushed aside by the ecstatic Sunagakure Village ninjas.
"Thank you, Naruto."
Kankuro approached Naruto and spoke. He never imagined that one day Naruto would become the savior of Sunagakure Village.
"You shouldn't thank me, but Granny Chiyo."
Naruto said, looking at Granny Chiyo, who lay exhausted in Sakura's arms.
"She used a powerful medical Ninjutsu to save Gaara. She's just tired and asleep now. She'll recover once we get back to the village, right?"
"That's not right."
Kankuro said gravely, being one of the higher-ups of Sunagakure Village, he was well aware of the Ninjutsu Granny Chiyo possessed.
"What do you mean 'not right'?"
Naruto asked, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
"That's not any medical Ninjutsu, but a Reincarnation Ninjutsu; Granny Chiyo has already passed away."
"What happened?"
Naruto's eyes widened, and he asked with a trembling voice.
"It's a Ninjutsu that can bring the dead back to life at the cost of one's own life."
"Indeed."
Upon hearing Kankuro's explanation, Sasuke thought to himself, knowing that such a Ninjutsu to revive others couldn't be so simple.
Everyone present fell silent.
"Let's all pray for Granny Chiyo."
At that moment, Gaara stood up shakily, looked at Granny Chiyo's body, bowed his head, and closed his eyes.
Granny Chiyo, as the one who saved his life, deserved the highest respect.
