Chapter 603 Forgiveness
Chapter 603 Forgiveness
Chiyo said calmly.
However, Scorpion fell silent.
He knew very well why Chiyo had made such a decision.
"After being a Sand Village ninja for so many years, are you willing to give it up?"
Chiyo looked at Sasori with a kind expression: "It took me many years to understand what is truly the most important thing."
"I'm already this old, I only have a few more years to live. My greatest wish is to see you all reunited before I die."
Chiyo looked at Sasori with a face full of apology:
"Child, the reason I kept some things from you back then was because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to handle the blow the truth would bring. I'm sorry..."
As Chiyo finished speaking, many fragments of past memories suddenly flashed through Sasori's mind.
Those images that had been buried deep in his heart surged back like a tide, leaving him momentarily overwhelmed.
His normally stable chakra became scattered due to emotional fluctuations.
Finally, Scorpion took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and then slowly sighed:
"The wait has been so long, so long that I've given up hope... Grandma."
Although Sasori did not explicitly say the word "forgive," Chiyo's eyes instantly welled up with tears when he called her "Grandma."
Chiyo composed herself and slowly began to speak:
“I have never given up exploring and researching this area since they passed away.”
"After a long period of research and practice, I can confirm that these technologies are absolutely feasible."
"If I weren't absolutely certain, I wouldn't have chosen to stay."
Scorpion listened quietly to Chiyo's words, a slight ripple stirring within him.
Although he still appeared indifferent on the surface, he had already begun to waver in his heart.
After all, he was unwilling to let go of even the slightest hope of bringing his parents back to life.
Now that Chiyo had made her point clear, Sasori finally nodded slightly in agreement.
"Alright, in that case, I agree to give it a try. But... what exactly do I need to prepare to revive them?"
Hearing that Scorpion had agreed, Chiyo's tense nerves relaxed a little.
She lowered her eyes and answered softly:
"As long as we have their remains, that's enough."
Scorpion nodded, then asked,
"Are there any other requirements besides these? For example, specific environments or special materials?"
Chiyo shook her head and explained, "For now, having their remains is enough."
"Of course, the entire resurrection process will not be completed overnight, and it will take about five to six years. So you must be mentally prepared during this period."
Scorpion didn't show much surprise at this; he knew perfectly well what was going on.
If it were truly possible to bring people back to life so easily, Konoha would probably have already seen a surge of former masters.
After a moment's thought, Scorpion made a suggestion:
"The wait of five or six years is long, but still within an acceptable range."
"But right now, we need to retrieve my father's and mother's remains first."
Chiyo couldn't possibly bring everything with her when she went to the battlefield.
All of these things are in Sunagakure. Although Ebizo is still alive, he will never feel at ease until he gets them.
Chiyo nodded slightly: "Alright, let's greet Konoha first, and then make arrangements to go back."
……
Inside Orochimaru's bright and tidy basement.
Rin Uchiha reported to Orochimaru, who was engrossed in working amidst a pile of complex blueprints:
"...Lady Tsunade instructed you to handle this matter."
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru paused slightly, his hand, which had been focused on drawing the blueprints, and a hint of doubt and curiosity flickered in his eyes.
When he heard that it was about Chiyo, he put down what he was holding and focused all his attention on Uchiha Rinto.
Once, Chiyo casually mentioned Deidara to Orochimaru, but only briefly described Deidara's personality traits and his talent in ninjutsu.
However, just half a year ago, during the Akatsuki's sniping operation against Kumogakure, Deidara actually unleashed an extremely rare and incredibly powerful Dust Release technique!
What's even more incredible is that Deidara was not even fifteen years old at the time, yet he was already able to use this powerful ninjutsu, which belongs to the bloodline limit, so skillfully.
This undoubtedly proves that Deidara does indeed possess extraordinary talent, even more outstanding than what Chiyo previously stated.
Although Chiyo did not explicitly state any specific arrangements or plans for Deidara, Orochimaru's wisdom and strategy would naturally make this small problem no challenge for him.
After a brief moment of thought, he decisively issued the order:
"I understand. Take him to the hospital's conference room immediately. I'll be there shortly."
Upon receiving the order, Rin Uchiha quickly replied, "Yes," and then turned and hurried away.
It's worth mentioning that the Uchiha clan's hospital and Orochimaru's research facilities were actually connected.
This layout design is not without reason, because Orochimaru was conducting some in-depth research.
It is often necessary to use special patients as experimental subjects or observation samples in order to obtain more accurate data and information.
As a highly respected medical ninja in Konoha, Tsunade knew that many villagers were unable to receive timely and effective treatment due to financial difficulties.
Therefore, she decided to regularly allocate some free medical slots specifically for researching and tackling those difficult and intractable diseases.
Although the villagers of Konoha were relatively fortunate to have never personally experienced the horrific suffering brought about by large-scale war.
However, birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural course of life, and disease has always plagued people's lives.
In any world, medical services often require a large amount of money, which is undoubtedly a heavy burden for many ordinary villagers.
For this reason, these free medical slots have become a rare ray of hope for them.
However, receiving such free treatment does not come without a price.
Patients are essentially acting as "guinea pigs" in medical research, meaning they will be the first to try treatments and drugs that are not yet fully mature.
On the other hand, this not only saves them from paying exorbitant medical expenses, but also gives them the opportunity to cure their long-standing ailments, making it a win-win situation.
Of course, there are bound to be some risks involved, but fortunately, thanks to the careful evaluation and screening by Tsunade and her team, these risks are usually not too great.
After all, those truly high-risk and potentially fatal experiments had already been conducted on the Sarutobi clan.
