The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 678 Winning Hearts and Minds

Orochimaru's laboratory.

When Sasori and Chiyo were brought here by Minato Namikaze, they were completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.

Only after arriving at their destination did Minato begin to explain to them:

"Qianyao has returned. He has taken your parents' bodies and is preparing to resurrect them."

Upon hearing this, Scorpion trembled violently as if struck by lightning, and an expression of disbelief instantly appeared on his usually cold and ruthless face.

"Wha...what!? Really!?"

Scorpion's voice trembled slightly from extreme shock.

Minato nodded: "Wait here for a while, and you'll see your parents soon."

Scorpion looked at Chiyo, who didn't speak, but the emotions in her eyes betrayed her.

"Lord Hokage, I don't want to wait. I want to see them resurrected."

Scorpion's tone was usually a bit agitated; he had been waiting for so many years, and he didn't want to wait any longer.

Minato gazed at Sasori, pondered for a moment, and then nodded slightly, indicating his understanding of Sasori's anxious state of mind.

"Alright, in that case, I'll take you there to have a look."

Before he finished speaking, Minato reached out and placed his hands on Sasori and Chiyo's shoulders. Then, a flash of light appeared, and the three of them vanished without a trace.

"...The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

When the water gate reappeared, they had already reached the lower level of the laboratory.

Just then, Orochimaru completed the final ritual, successfully summoning Sasori's parents and Karura from the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly gestured to Qian Yao, then his figure flashed, and he instantly disappeared without a trace using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

As the Hokage, he has a lot to deal with lately.

Now that the person has been delivered, there's no way we can linger any longer.

Meanwhile, Qianyao stood leisurely to the side, his arms crossed over his chest.

Seeing Sasori and Chiyo approach, Chiyo smiled slightly and nodded to them in greeting.

Needless to say, scorpions.

For Chiyo, the last time she met Chiyo was on the battlefield of the Ninja World War.

But times change, and things are unpredictable!

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Who would have thought that the two sides that were once enemies would now be on the same side?

Although Chiyo appeared to be quite casual and carefree on the surface, Sasori and Chiyo dared not be the slightest bit negligent or careless.

They both bowed respectfully to Qianyao in unison and said, "Lord Qianyao."

Faced with this, Qianyao simply waved his hand casually, smiling and indicating that the two of them did not need to be so polite.

Then he pointed forward and patiently explained:

"The current situation is that Orochimaru will first summon the souls of these people from the Pure Land."

"This way, when we officially carry out the resurrection, the pressure on me will be relatively reduced."

After extensive and meticulous research, Orochimaru discovered that to successfully summon the souls of the deceased from the Pure Land to the mortal world, an extremely large amount of energy must be consumed.

If one were to directly use the Dragon's Life to reincarnate, they would eventually absorb a large amount of Qian Yao's life energy.

Given that he's expending twice the amount of energy, that's quite dangerous.

Fortunately, the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation can be used to tide things over, since Impure World Reincarnation consumes sacrifices rather than the user himself.

There are still some members of the Sarutobi clan left, so we'll just consider them as recycled waste.

Just as these words were spoken, a chilling wind arose, accompanied by a mournful cry that echoed in the air, and countless talismans fluttered down like snowflakes.

In the blink of an eye, the densely packed talismans on the ground surged rapidly as if they were alive, instantly enveloping the three living members of the Sarutobi clan.

Standing to the side, Tsunade crossed her arms and a cold smile slowly appeared on her face.

Whenever I witness the Sarutobi clan being used as experimental subjects or as materials for some kind of sacrifice.

An indescribable sense of pleasure would well up in her heart, as if the resentment that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time had finally been released.

On the other side, Sasori and Chiyo were intently watching the talisman paper peeling off in front of them.

As the layers of talisman paper peeled away, the figures wrapped within were gradually revealed—it was Scorpion's parents and Karura!

At this moment, Chiyo couldn't help but grip Sasori's hand tightly. Even though Sasori was now a puppet, he could still clearly sense the change in Chiyo's state of mind.

Gazing at those two faces, both unfamiliar and familiar, Scorpion's thoughts involuntarily drifted into memories.

Time flies, and thirty years have passed in a flash. The image of his parents back then has long become blurred in his mind.

If he hadn't had the chance to meet Orochimaru a few times when he was creating clones of the two of them, he probably wouldn't have recognized the person in front of him as his beloved relative whom he had been longing for day and night.

Even so, the longing buried deep in his heart surged forth like a tidal wave at this moment, leaving Scorpion somewhat dazed and lost in thought.

At that moment, Orochimaru steadily controlled the three reanimated bodies, but failed to awaken their dormant consciousness.

On the other side, Qianyao had already reached the bedside.

Above are Scorpion's parents and Galuro's clone.

Karin held a bottle filled with the water of life in her hand.

Karin is no longer that naive little girl; her body has fully matured.

As a member of the Uzumaki clan, she possesses extremely strong vitality, which naturally reduces her risk of danger.

Qianyao raised his hands and quickly formed a hand seal.

—The art of spiritualization.

To find out exactly how the soul entered Reiko's (Scorpion's mother) body, this technique must be performed first so that he can see the soul.

Immediately afterwards, Chiyo came to Reiko and gently placed his palm on her.

"The Dragon's Fate Reincarnation Technique!"

A surge of powerful life energy suddenly erupted from his body and continuously flowed into Lingzi's clone.

This clone was alive, but it lacked the crucial soul.

At the same time, Orochimaru, who was standing to one side, simultaneously formed hand seals with both hands.

"Resurrection from the Impure World Reincarnation!"

Reiko's impure body, which had been standing quietly there, instantly began to disintegrate.

Chiyo looked toward Orochimaru, and in his spirit form, he could clearly see Reiko's soul slowly drifting out of her impure body.

Qianyao continued to use the Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique.

As his life force continued to flow in, Lingzi's soul suddenly vanished without a trace with a whoosh.

Chiyo was startled and quickly turned his head, only to be surprised to find that Lingzi's soul had successfully entered the prepared clone body!
