Chapter 599 Eager for Talent
Chapter 599 Eager for Talent
Chiyo stared intently at Minato, then turned to Tsunade and said:
"Tsunade, aren't you going to introduce this person to me?"
Tsunade casually waved her hand in response:
"Elder Chiyo, this gentleman before you is none other than the renowned Fourth Hokage—Minato Namikaze."
Before she finished speaking, she gently pointed to the water gate.
In an instant, Minato's figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.
Before anyone could react, he reappeared behind Tsunade like a bolt of lightning.
Clearly, Minato intentionally used the Flying Thunder God Technique to prove to Chiyo that he was indeed the renowned Minato Namikaze.
At this moment, the doubt that had been in Chiyo's eyes had completely vanished.
She began to scrutinize Minato's face closely, and as she observed more closely, her expression gradually turned horrified.
It should be noted that Minato had only recently been resurrected, so his appearance was naturally unchanged.
Therefore, it is obvious that this must have happened recently.
Chiyo's eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed:
"Could it be... that your medical skills are actually capable of bringing the dead back to life!?"
After countless hardships and explorations, Chiyo's team successfully developed the technique of reincarnation.
Although the conditions for performing this forbidden technique are extremely strict, it does have the ability to bring the dead back to life, so she can accept it more easily.
For Chiyo, the name Tsunade was a constant nightmare.
For a long time, Tsunade has been her strongest rival. It is no exaggeration to say that Tsunade is the number one enemy of the entire Sunagakure.
It should be noted that Tsunade could easily counter almost all of the highly poisonous hidden weapons and poisons that Sunagakure was famous for, and she could also develop corresponding antidotes.
Moreover, the widespread promotion and expansion of Konoha's medical ninja team is also inseparable from Tsunade's persistent efforts behind the scenes.
If we say that Tsunade has reached the pinnacle of life sciences and attained the extraordinary realm of bringing the dead back to life.
So Chiyo could only reluctantly agree.
Just then, Tsunade suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the side, saying slowly:
"There is also an old friend here whom I haven't seen in a long time. He has come all the way here today to see you."
Upon hearing this, Chiyo became suspicious and quickly looked in the direction Tsunade was pointing.
There stood a tall, imposing man wearing a mysterious mask.
However, when the man slowly removed his mask, Chiyo's previously calm face instantly became grotesque and twisted.
Because the face that came into view was the one she hated most in her life—Sakumo Hatake!
"White Teeth!!!"
Chiyo's eyes widened in fury, and she let out a heart-wrenching roar.
In an instant, her blood and qi surged wildly, and her chakra boiled.
Suddenly, she stomped her foot hard on the ground and lunged towards White Fang like an arrow released from a bow.
But now, Shiro is in his prime, and his agility is far beyond what Chiyo could easily injure.
Faced with Chiyo's fierce attack, Sakumo simply swayed and used an exquisite Body Flicker Technique.
In the blink of an eye, he had already flashed several feet away, easily avoiding Chiyo's fierce attack.
Tsunade crossed her arms, her face calm and serene, her sharp gaze fixed on Chiyo, and said slowly:
"Does Elder Chiyo not want her son and daughter-in-law to return to this world?"
Although her words were calm, they were like a thunderclap that suddenly exploded deep in Chiyo's mind.
In an instant, Chiyo was struck dumb, her body coming to an abrupt halt, her entire form becoming incredibly stiff.
She slowly turned her head, her gaze fixed on Tsunade. On her weathered face, a complex array of emotions surged.
—There was deep doubt, an overwhelming sense of surprise, and an unbelievable astonishment.
These intertwined emotions left Chiyo somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Immediately afterwards, Chiyo seemed to realize something and quickly turned around, turning her gaze back to Sakumo and Minato who were standing to the side.
The two men looked extremely young, without any signs of age, clearly indicating that they had only recently been resurrected.
"Your Konoha has actually mastered such amazing technology..."
Chiyo murmured unconsciously, her voice filled with shock.
At this point, the facts are clear. If only Minato had been successfully resurrected, it could perhaps be explained as a special case or an isolated incident.
But now that even White Fang has been resurrected, there's no longer any way to deceive ourselves.
Chiyo took a deep breath, trying to calm her surging emotions, and then glared fiercely at White Fang.
However, she quickly managed to calm herself down.
Because she knew all too well that if it were truly possible to bring her deceased son and daughter-in-law back to life...
So all the hatred and resentment I had towards White Fang in the past seemed to no longer matter at this moment.
So, Chiyo gritted her teeth and asked Tsunade in a deep voice:
"What exactly do you want this old woman to do?!"
Tsunade's gaze fell on the striking Konoha headband on White Fang's forehead, and she gently tapped it with her finger, saying slowly:
"Our Konoha has always been eager to recruit talented individuals..."
However, before Tsunade could finish speaking, Chiyo impatiently interrupted:
"No problem! From now on, I am a member of Konoha!"
It should be noted that Chiyo is already 68 years old, and the years have left deep marks on her.
In particular, when she was studying the art of reincarnation in previous years, she consumed a great deal of her life force.
Now, she knows that she doesn't have much time left.
Looking back, the young and vibrant Chiyo dedicated her entire life to Sunagakure.
At that time, she regarded Sunagakure as something more important than life itself, even more important than anyone else in the world.
However, fate played a cruel joke on her—her son and daughter-in-law tragically passed away, and her beloved grandson, Sasori of the Red Sand, chose to defect.
This series of heavy blows gradually made Chiyo realize that the most precious thing in the world is not the so-called village glory, but the blood ties that are thicker than water.
At this moment, if he could use the few years he had left to successfully revive his deceased son and daughter-in-law, what did it matter whether he betrayed the village or not?
Moreover, Chiyo was already a prisoner of Konoha at the moment, and Konoha had already done more than enough by not killing her.
As an old and shrewd person, Chiyo didn't hesitate at all when it came to this kind of thing, so how could she not agree quickly?
