Ficool

Chapter 241 - Chapter 241 Fooling, and then Fooling

Xiao Mingren's method was actually very simple.

It was to use Enhancement type Nen to boost Kankuro's own poison resistance.

Since Kankuro didn't die immediately after being poisoned, it meant he had some immunity.

By enhancing that immunity to devour the toxins, he could be detoxified.

Under the boost of Enhancement type Nen, the toxins in Kankuro's body began to fade, and his originally purplish-black complexion gradually returned to normal.

In the end, his breathing was no longer rapid and became steady.

Seeing this, the few people present were very excited; they hadn't expected that the poison which had troubled the Sand Ninja Village's medical team would be so easily detoxified by Xiao Mingren!

Naturally, the happiest was Kankuro's older sister, Temari.

Gaara had been captured, his fate unknown. If Gaara died, Kankuro would be her only remaining family. Temari naturally didn't want to see both of her younger brothers die one after another; such a blow would be very difficult for her to accept.

"I'll go... As expected of me! I actually detoxified him so easily!"

Da Mingren said excitedly.

The relatively calm Chiyo and Sakura stepped forward to check Kankuro's physical condition.

After a thorough examination, they confirmed that Kankuro's poison had indeed been completely cleared.

Both, knowing Kankuro's situation well, looked at Xiao Mingren in shock.

Unlike Sakura, Chiyo glanced at Xiao Mingren a few times, then shifted all her attention to Sasori, who was wearing a mask.

Just as Sasori turned, Chiyo suddenly struck, targeting the mask Sasori was wearing.

Sasori felt the strong wind from behind him; he instinctively blocked, and though he initially wanted to counterattack, he stopped when he saw that it was Chiyo who had attacked.

For a period recently, Sasori and Chiyo had basically been together, searching for Sasori's parents' bodies in the Sand Ninja Village cemetery.

It was this period of renewed interaction that deepened Sasori's feelings for Chiyo.

"Kid... Take off your mask!"

Chiyo took a step back, staring at Sasori and speaking in a low voice.

Sasori knew he might have been exposed.

After thinking carefully, he also knew where he had been exposed.

It was that phrase, "I can detoxify this poison."

All poisons formulated by 傀儡師 have exclusive antidotes. Anyone who can claim to immediately detoxify a poison just by looking at it is either the poisoner or related to the poisoner.

As for Xiao Mingren, who instantly detoxified it, that didn't count as a loss. It was clear he used unconventional detoxification methods.

And who was the poisoner? It was Chiyo's grandson, Sasori, so it was no wonder Chiyo was so agitated.

The others also looked at Sasori; they, too, wanted to see what face lay beneath the mask.

Sasori shrugged helplessly. He knew he had no choice but to reveal his true appearance now.

Then he thought of Xiao Mingren, who had also exposed his identity. Since Naruto had already revealed his identity, it didn't matter if he revealed his.

Sasori then took off his hood and mask.

The body Sasori was using at this time was neither Yujie Sasori nor Loli Sasori, but Sasori's original form.

The moment Granny Chiyo saw Sasori, she became agitated.

"Sasori! It really is you!"

Hearing Sasori's name, everyone immediately became alert, pulling out kunai and preparing to strike at any moment.

"Granny Chiyo, you might not believe me, but I'm actually Sasori's benevolent self!"

Sasori directly used Xiao Mingren's excuse.

And his words, it could be said, no one believed except Da Mingren.

"Sasori, do you really think I've become senile? Tell me! Where did you take Gaara?"

"I told you! I'm not that Sasori."

While Sasori and Granny Chiyo were in a standoff, Kakashi looked at Xiao Mingren.

"Xiao Mingren, quickly reveal your identities! Otherwise, this won't end well, unless you really want to fight us."

"Huh? Kakashi-sensei, haven't they all revealed their identities? This Xiao Mingren is my evil self, that Sasori is Sasori's benevolent self, it's perfectly logical..."

Kakashi:

Seeing Da Mingren still acting foolishly, Sakura immediately gave him a sharp rap on the head.

"Can't you tell? This so-called Xiao Mingren has been fooling you all along!"

"It shouldn't be! I haven't felt any hostility from him..."

Because he had been surrounded by hatred and hostility since childhood, Da Mingren was extremely sensitive to how others felt about him.

From beginning to end, he hadn't felt any hostility from Xiao Mingren towards him; instead, there was a strange sense of closeness.

The commotion here also attracted the attention of Chiyo and Sasori.

Sasori no longer argued. If it was a fight, then so be it; he didn't care. Anyway, if he wanted to run, no one could stop him. All he truly cared about was Xiao Mingren's attitude, after all, he was the boss!

Xiao Mingren, meanwhile, let out a long sigh.

"Alas, at this point, I can only tell the truth!"

"Actually... we come from another dimension's Ninja World. That dimension's Ninja World was destroyed, and Sasori, a few others, and I escaped to this dimension."

Xiao Mingren's words immediately made Kakashi frown.

Compared to some 'evil self,' visitors from another dimension seemed more plausible to Kakashi.

Naruto then began to tell their story.

"Our Ninja World is actually almost identical to yours, except... the timeline there is a bit later, which you can tell from my age."

"In my world, a virus called [chuunibyou] suddenly broke out. This virus would invade people's hearts, causing some individuals with extreme personalities to develop destructive tendencies."

"The virus infected the leader of the Akatsuki Organization. The Akatsuki Organization leader began collecting Tailed Beasts, aiming to merge the nine Tailed Beasts to create a Ten-Tails, which would then be used to destroy the Ninja World!"

Hearing Xiao Mingren say this, Da Mingren subconsciously touched his stomach, thinking, "No wonder... Sasuke's older brother, Uchiha Itachi, cared about me... Was it because of this?"

"That war was very tragic. Ninja from the entire Ninja World fought against the Ten-Tails, but it was like moths flying into a flame, completely useless!"

"Although we lost... we still found a way to eliminate the root cause, which was chuunibyou!"

"Because we sensed that chuunibyou was beginning to invade your Ninja World, we came here with the goal of saving the world."

After listening to Xiao Mingren's account, everyone gasped.

"chuunibyou... just how terrifying of a virus are you..."

Only Sasori looked at Xiao Mingren speechlessly, thinking, "Keep fooling them... keep fooling them."

Kakashi, however, seized on the key point, "Xiao Mingren, what is this method you mentioned that can completely eliminate chuunibyou?"

Hearing Kakashi's question, Xiao Mingren took out a book from his embrace and handed it to Kakashi, saying, "This is the method to eliminate chuunibyou! It's called red ideology. As long as the people of the Ninja World study this book, they will not be infected by chuunibyou!"

"Of course... this book is only the first volume of red ideology; there are many more, and they are all with the others!"

Kakashi merely took the red ideology and glanced at it, and was immediately shocked by the ideas within.

"This... this..."
