Chapter 206 The mission is over

As Chiyo used that ninjutsu, Xia Li slowly closed her eyes and devoted herself to perception for the first time in a long time.

Then, Xia Li 'saw' that there was not only chakra pouring out of Chiyo's body, but also an indescribable power...

Is that the power that represents life?

Xia Li slowly showed a sudden realization, and then an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It was not like the Qiudao family who just used ninjutsu, that is, they knew what they were doing but didn't know why. Even if Xia Li learned that ninjutsu, he would not do it. Know why.

But Chiyo's forbidden technique, which directly connects life force with chakra, showed Xia Li the most fundamental power in life without any disguise.

Therefore, Xia Li believed that since he had 'seen' the essence of this power, his future study of Yang Dun would no longer be as blind as it was before.

Xia Li slowly opened her eyes and looked at Chiyo, who was lying there as if asleep, and Naruto next to Chiyo.

Looking into the distance, there was a lot of movement over there. It should be a large army of Suna Ninja coming over.

Along with the Suna Ninja army came Kaiban, and they successfully cleared the obstacles, and Temari who followed Kaiban was naturally among them.

"Gaara!" At this moment, Temari and Kankuro, who had not fully recovered, saw Gaara lying on the ground and couldn't help shouting.

"He's fine. Chiyo used an incredible ninjutsu to save him." Xia Li said at this time.

"Grandma Chiyo is really amazing. She can do things that even Xia Li can't do!" Naruto said with a smile at this time.

After all, in Naruto's mind, there seemed to be nothing that Xia Li couldn't do. However, something like this happened today, which made Naruto know that Xia Li was not omnipotent.

"Really... It seems that Granny Chiyo used that ninjutsu..." Kankuro and Temari, who knew about their reincarnation, also had sadness on their faces.

Kankuro watched Chiyo return peacefully and recalled what happened before. When Chiyo's mother-in-law learned about the Red Sand Scorpion, she couldn't sit still in the Sand Ninja Village.

Even though Captain Magee had tried to stop him, it was to no avail. Chiyo still chose to go to this battlefield to end the fight with the Red Sand Scorpion.

Seeing Granny Chiyo returning home so peacefully, Kankuro understood that her wish must have been fulfilled.

"You...why are you so sad? Haven't you been rescued?" Naruto couldn't help but be confused when he saw Temari and Kankuro.

"Naruto, stop talking." At this time, Sasuke suddenly shouted.

This made Naruto even more confused, why?

"Naruto, if you want to get anything, you have to pay a price." Xia Li also said, "Chiyo is dead and used his own life to extend Gaara's life."

"Isn't Grandma Chiyo taking a break because she's tired?" Naruto was stunned. Looking at the sad Suna Ninja over there, he also understood that what Xia Li said was true.

Suddenly, Naruto's mood became depressed.

Gaara only felt that he seemed to be in a place where there was no one and nothing all the time, and it was getting colder and colder.

He also vaguely understood that he might be dying.

Is this...this what death feels like? So lonely, so cold... Maybe his death was the only one like this?

No one cares, no one cares.

Just when Gaara had given up everything, a warm feeling came, making him a little confused, and then the somewhat familiar voice came to his ears.

Who is it? Who is calling him?

With doubts, Gaara finally began to struggle, and finally opened his eyes.

Then, he saw the golden hair and the familiar but slightly sad face.

"Uzumaki...Naruto?"

"Well, it's me and everyone." Naruto said, and then told Gaara that Chiyo saved him with her life.

At this time, Gaara was stunned, and he heard something vaguely in his ears, which seemed to be saying that the Suna Ninja Village would be handed over to him in the future, and then he would have a good relationship with Konoha...

However, isn't Chiyo the biggest obstacle to the cooperation between Suna Ninja and Konoha?

Gaara was a little confused, and he didn't want to think too much at this time. He stood up and looked at Temari and Kankuro who were coming over, as well as the Sand Ninjas in the distance.

At this moment, Gaara understood that he was no longer alone, and the entire Sand Ninja Village was standing behind him!

…………

"If you recover, I'll give this to you." At this time, Xia Li pinched Shukaku's "back neck flesh" with one hand and said to Gaara.

Gaara looked a little silent as he watched Shukaku, who was constantly struggling in Xia Li's hands but still unable to break free.

Is this the Shukaku who has tortured him for more than ten years? Why does it feel so shameful?

Even though Gaara knew that Shukaku's power was gone, it still wasn't appropriate for him to be treated like this by others.

At this time, Xia Li also threw Shukaku directly to Gaara and said, "There is no need to seal it. The remaining power is very weak. You should be able to suppress it."

Gaara took Shukaku, and then the opponent kept struggling for a while, which made him a little confused. Although Shukaku was like a toy in Xia Li's hands, his strength was not small.

In the end, Gaara chose to imitate Xia Li, condensed chakra in his hands, and then pinched Shukaku's fateful 'neck meat'.

"Hey! You kid, let go of me. I don't want to be with you anymore. Only that guy over there is worthy of me." Shukaku said viciously while struggling.

Gaara was silent, the person Shukaku was talking about was Xia Li.

"But even if you were the perfect one, I wouldn't look down on you, let alone now." Xia Li was also speechless and continued, "If it were the Nine-Tails or the Eight-Tails, I might consider it, but you can forget it. .”

Suddenly, Shukaku stopped struggling, and then suddenly there was a ninjutsu condensing in its mouth.

Obviously, Xia Li's words completely offended it, and it didn't want to care about anything now. It just wanted to teach this bastard in front of it a lesson for judging the strength of the tailed beast based on the number of its tails.

Looking at Shukaku's movements, Xia Li's eyes became a little dangerous. Although Shukaku looked like a pet now, she was not his pet.

Gaara also interrupted Shukaku's ninjutsu at this time, then thought about it, and once again condensed a gourd and carried it behind his back.

After the condensation was completed, Gaara stuffed the Shukaku into the gourd with great reluctance. If this continued, Gaara felt that Shukaku would not be able to keep any of his chakra.

After seeing Gaara finish dealing with little Shukaku, Xia Li also said, "Then, our mission this time has been completed. You Sand Ninjas should also have a lot of follow-up things to deal with, right? We won't interrupt. "

"Wait a minute, Xia Li." Gaara spoke at this time.

"Is there anything else?" Xia Li was a little confused.

"Regarding the previous proposal of the Fifth Hokage, I can now fully agree on behalf of Suna Ninja." Gaara said.

"But, you have already..." Xia Li did not continue, but the meaning was already obvious.

Suna Ninja Village has lost one of its members, and the remaining little Shukaku, who is like a pet, is no longer qualified to be the target of the Akatsuki organization.

Therefore, for Suna Ninja Village, the threat from the Akatsuki organization is gone. Why should we take the initiative to step into this muddy water?

"The Sand Ninja Village is an ally of Konoha, and I don't intend to just let go of what happened before." Gaara also had a cold look in his eyes at this moment.

Temari and Kankuro next to them also nodded, agreeing with what Gaara said.

"Well, in that case, I will tell Mr. Hokage when I get back." Xia Li also nodded. No matter what the reason was, it was obviously a good thing for Konoha.

Then, Xia Li thought for a while and said again.

"Also, Gaara, if you want to take revenge, you will probably have no chance. Do you see the giant pit over there? That is the giant pit created by the opponent's self-destruction."

Gaara heard the sound and looked towards the huge pit over there, and then his eyes couldn't help but shrink. Is it such a powerful force?

"Self-destruction?" Gaara asked with some difficulty at this time.

"Well, that's right. The other party was desperate at that time, so he blew himself up." Xia Li confirmed.

"Are you okay then?" Gaara couldn't help but ask. If he was affected by such a power, he usually wouldn't survive, right?

"Of course it's okay. Kakashi-sensei said that Xia Li only used one sword to chop down the guy who had been riding a bird in the sky and throwing clay down until he blew himself up!" Naruto said with a smile at this moment.

You know, he was shocked for a long time after hearing it. He has been regretting why he fainted at that time. Now someone can finally share it.

Suddenly, Gaara was silent. If someone else had said it, he might not believe it, but the person who said this was Naruto...

So, Gaara looked at Xia Li, did the enemy that left him helpless only need one sword in front of him?

At this time, Gaara may have understood why Granny Chiyo left such last words for him. Was it because he had seen a power far beyond common sense?

Temari and Kankuro were also silent at this time. They were attracted by the incredibly powerful explosion before, so they were able to find this place quickly. Have you ever thought about a fierce battle, but is it just one move?

Xia Li smiled at Gaara and acquiesced to Naruto's words. He originally thought that Naruto would 'cooperate', and as expected.

In this case, it should also be able to form a certain deterrent effect.

Xia Li felt that it was more reliable to show strength than to make a covenant on paper.

Afterwards, Gaara also took the Suna Ninja to express their gratitude to several people here, thanking them for their timely support.

After accepting Suna Ninja's thanks, Konoha's group finally set off towards home.

However, there are two people missing here.

Shockingly, Xia Li and Ino were missing.

Xia Li had already taken Ino back to Konoha with the Flying Thunder God. As for the others, there were so many people and they were still so far away from Konoha. He didn't want to be free labor.

In this regard, other people could only sigh and said nothing more.

Sasuke also sighed at this time. Looking at Sakura and Xianglin next to him, and their tit-for-tat confrontation from time to time, he felt that he should also ask Xia Li to take him back at that time?

Naruto actually noticed the situation on Sasuke's side and looked a little sad, but he didn't show it.

Just complaining carelessly there.

"That guy Xia Li values ​​sex over friends!"
