Neji kept frowning as he watched. He wondered in his heart what Chiyo was doing.
He could sense that if this continued, Chiyo would lose her life.
"....."
He was just about to open his mouth to remind her when the change before his eyes made him abruptly stop.
He actually saw traces of life energy appear inside Gaara's body.
Gaara's organs were slowly reviving, and Chakra was reappearing.
"....."
He was dumbfounded, never expecting that someone who had completely died would gradually regain vitality.
This was simply incredible!
"What's wrong?"
Guy didn't understand; he didn't know what was happening.
Hearing the calm Neji sound so surprised, he became anxious. "Is there something wrong?"
Neji didn't answer; he was immersed in shock.
"Truly a miraculous method."
Takumi sighed at this moment.
His gaze kept shifting between Chiyo and Gaara.
After all, it was a forbidden technique that could revive the dead, and it was different from his Medical Ninjutsu.
He needed to provide medical treatment to revive someone who had just died.
And this had a prerequisite: the deceased couldn't have died naturally.
For example, he couldn't revive someone who died of old age.
And in Gaara's case, where life energy was completely drained, he couldn't revive him either.
This was also why he insisted on bringing Chiyo.
Otherwise, he could have dealt with Sasori alone and also brought Gaara back.
As a Medical-nin, Takumi naturally was very interested in Chiyo's forbidden technique.
Unfortunately, Chiyo was just transferring her own life energy. What techniques were involved, how the Chakra flowed,
He had no idea.
His idea of trying to learn it naturally died.
Just then, two more people jumped down from above.
It was Temari, who had been stunned earlier, deeply affected by Gaara's death and hadn't come down, and another Jonin from Sunagakure.
Takumi glanced at him and, not recognizing him, looked away.
After all, Sunagakure was one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages; they had a fair number of Jonin.
It was normal for him not to know someone.
"..."
Temari came down with a heavy heart, originally intending to collect her brother's body.
As his sister, and the oldest among the remaining family members, she had the responsibility and obligation to do so.
But when she saw Chiyo seemingly treating Gaara, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Wait patiently for a while. It'll be done soon."
Takumi comforted her, which served as a positive answer to her doubt.
Sure enough,
Hearing Takumi's words, Temari immediately excitedly covered her mouth, not daring to let any exclamation disturb Chiyo.
Afraid of affecting the treatment process.
Although she didn't know how Chiyo could do it, if it could bring her brother back to life, even if it meant giving her own life, she wouldn't hesitate.
Soon, under everyone's gaze,
The long treatment finally ended.
Chiyo tiredly withdrew her hands. Baki immediately stepped forward to support Chiyo, who almost staggered and fell. Everyone else's eyes were on Gaara.
They were waiting for a miracle, their eyes full of hope and anxiety.
Takumi, however, appeared much calmer.
He knew Gaara would definitely open his eyes.
And the next second, Gaara's eyelids twitched slightly, and then he opened his dazed eyes.
"I am..."
He uttered a hoarse voice, not yet understanding his situation.
The crowd of people surrounding him only added to his bewilderment.
"Thank goodness!"
Temari directly hugged Gaara. The always strong girl also let countless tears fall from the corners of her eyes.
But she didn't cry out loud, just shed tears, sobbing as she repeated one phrase over and over.
"The mission is considered complete."
Takumi said, turning his gaze to Chiyo. "Although not perfect."
"It's already good."
Chiyo smiled weakly. Her loving gaze lingered on Sasori's figure for a moment, then on the bewildered Gaara. "This life of mine has been worth it."
"Your life will undoubtedly be a legend of Sunagakure."
Takumi said without hesitation. "No one will deny that."
His words gained the agreement of others, who nodded in unison.
At the same time, understanding the situation, Kakashi and the others had grave expressions as they looked at Chiyo with extremely heavy feelings.
"Relax. This old woman should have left long ago."
Although Chiyo was weak, her smile was so free and easy. "I should go find my children. I wonder how long they've been waiting for me."
Then, she slowly closed her eyes.
Her hands also hung limply at her sides.
"Advisor Chiyo?"
Baki gently shook Chiyo's body, but Chiyo did not, as usual, laugh and say she was joking.
At this moment, how he wished Chiyo could return to being the troublesome old woman who loved to play tricks on them.
Sometimes, people only appreciate something after losing it.
At this moment, Baki deeply understood this.
Sasori's gaze also stared blankly at Chiyo's body.
No one knew what he was thinking.
More and more Sunagakure's Shinobi gathered,
All converging at the top of the pit.
They had come to support.
The enemy had taken their future Kazekage; as Sunagakure's Shinobi, they naturally couldn't remain indifferent.
It could be said that Sunagakure had dispatched almost all its combat power at this time, leaving only a tiny defensive force in the village.
This was enough to show how much the entire Sunagakure valued Gaara.
Saying they loved and respected him was still too early; at this moment, although Gaara had the courage to be a leader, his strength was still somewhat lacking.
He still had a lot of room for improvement.
And he was also too young.
"Quite a spectacular sight."
Kakashi looked up and couldn't help but exclaim. "Did they all come for Gaara?"
"So Gaara is this popular."
Naruto said blankly. He had thought Gaara was always being ostracized.
"Gaara of the past might have been an uncontrollable disaster for Sunagakure."
Takumi said softly. "But at this moment, he is the future hope of the entire Sunagakure."
Everyone present from Konoha, except Naruto, Lee, and Sakura, understood the implication of Takumi's words.
Although they had anticipated it, hearing it from Takumi made it more believable.
And Sunagakure's setup also showed the truth of this matter.
"This mission is over. We should go too."
Takumi released Sakura and came to Sasori's side.
"Let's go."
Sasori said calmly, as if unaffected by Chiyo's death.
Unfortunately, Takumi had seen the look in his eyes earlier.
After a brief hesitation, Takumi sighed and said softly, "I wasn't going to say it originally, but I think you need to know."
Sasori's gaze immediately turned to Takumi.
He was very curious about what Takumi wanted to say to him now.
"That technique Advisor Chiyo used to save Gaara, actually..."
Takumi leaned close to Sasori's ear and said, "She originally intended to revive your parents, to give you a complete family."
After saying this, ignoring Sasori's violently shaking pupils, he took him and jumped out of the pit.
The others also jumped out one after another.
Seeing Gaara safe and sound, the Sunagakure's Shinobi erupted in cheers of joy.
And after everyone had left,
In the pit, a pitcher plant slowly emerged from the ground.
"I didn't expect even Sasori, going all out, couldn't defeat Takumi."
Black Zetsu felt deeply troubled.
