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

Chapter 602 Persuasion

His fingers flew across the pages, his eyes fixed on the dense text and charts.

Soon, Scorpion discovered that the materials were filled with a large amount of highly technical content, which was as obscure and difficult to understand as a book written in a foreign language.

However, just by browsing those unfamiliar terms, Scorpion's sharp mind began to work at lightning speed, quickly connecting them together.

As Scorpion read on, his emotions grew increasingly agitated.

Finally, when he seemed to have grasped some key information, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Could it be... this is...?"

Chiyo nodded slightly, giving Sasori an affirmative answer:

"That's right, the current Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, Minato Namikaze, was resurrected thanks to this technology."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crisp "thud" sound, and the manuscript in Scorpion's hand involuntarily slipped and fell to the ground.

Scorpion's face was filled with disbelief, and his lips trembled as he muttered to himself:

"Impossible!? How could a dead person come back to life!?"

Scorpion suddenly stood up, his body trembling slightly from excessive excitement, his face filled with astonishment and disbelief.

The sound that came from deep in his throat seemed to be choked by something, carrying a hint of hoarseness and trembling:

"How is this possible? How is this possible..."

However, within these seemingly unacceptable words, a faint glimmer of hope was revealed.

He wondered to himself, could it be that Granny Chiyo had been deceived?

After all, during the long wait, every so-called "hope" that appeared eventually vanished, bringing only deeper and more painful despair.

For this person who has been waiting anxiously for his parents to return for more than 20 years.

This longing to reunite with his loved ones had long since transformed into a deep obsession, haunting his heart like a shadow.

In the ninja world of the past, filled with bloodshed and slaughter, the art of resurrection was undoubtedly a fantasy.

At least, to the best of Scorpion's knowledge, he had never heard of such a miraculous method.

That is why, although he longed to bring his deceased parents back to his side, he never actually embarked on the path of seeking this forbidden art.

The departure of his parents was like a wound that could never heal, deeply imprinted on his tormented heart.

At that moment, Granny Chiyo's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into that long-buried scar.

"This only covers the human clone; even if the person eventually wakes up, they won't be the same person as before!"

Although Scorpion has reached the pinnacle of puppet making, his knowledge in other areas such as life sciences is quite limited.

Perhaps it was due to the various hardships and misfortunes he experienced in his childhood.

This made him react to such a sudden claim of "resurrection".

They seemed somewhat at a loss, and even seemed to have lost all courage to believe.

Chiyo deeply understood Sasori's turbulent emotions, but she remained calm and slowly said:

“That’s right. I did see with my own eyes Minato Namikaze successfully resurrected, and Sakumo Hatake, who killed your parents with his own hands.”

"What?! Sakumo Hatake!? The White Fang of Konoha!? How could he... he actually came back to life too!?"

Scorpion's eyes widened, and a chillingly intense killing intent instantly flashed within them.

This man cruelly took the lives of his beloved parents, causing him to wait bitterly for those two people who would never return, day and night.

Back then, he was too young to avenge his parents, and when he finally gained enough strength, the despicable White Fang had already committed suicide.

Upon hearing that White Fang had been resurrected, the first thought that came to Scorpion's mind was to kill!

Just then, Chiyo, who was standing to the side, spoke up to remind him:

"Do you really intend to give up the chance to bring your parents back to life in order to kill Sakumo Hatake?"

These words were like a bucket of ice-cold water poured over Scorpion's head.

In an instant, Scorpion froze as if struck by lightning, his anger and murderous intent gradually subsiding.

However, despite this, a hint of hesitation, difficult to conceal, still lingered in his tone:

"Are you absolutely certain that the Fourth Hokage and Sakumo Hatake were indeed resurrected?"

"What if they didn't actually die back then?"

Chiyo had already carefully checked and confirmed the accuracy of this crucial information beforehand, so she answered with confidence and certainty: "Absolutely true!"

"I have confirmed it repeatedly: the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and the White Fang of Konoha, Sakumo Hatake."

"The two of them look exactly the same as they did back then, which means they must have been resurrected recently."

"Based on the information we have so far, if we want to implement the plan, all we need to do is prepare some of your parents' bodies in advance to begin the preliminary preparations."

Granny Chiyo paused slightly, a hint of emotion creeping into her voice, and sighed softly:

"I have kept their remains safe and sound all these years."

Upon hearing this, Scorpion's heart skipped a beat. He quickly bent down to pick up the documents scattered on the ground and eagerly began to scan them again.

Unfortunately, the document I have only contains the first half.

However, the crucial steps that are essential after a person is successfully cloned are not included.

"How could this be... there are no specific steps afterward!"

Scorpion's tone clearly revealed deep hesitation and doubt.

His heart was filled with worry, fearing that if he accepted the plan with high expectations, he would only end up with nothing but empty joy.

Grandma Chiyo gazed tenderly at her grandson and said softly:

"Don't worry too much about the child. It's already good enough that we've made it this far. As for the subsequent procedures, I'm confident."

The scorpion stood quietly in place for a long, long time, as if time itself had frozen.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he took a deep breath and asked:

"So, what exactly do the people from Konoha want us to do?"

Granny Chiyo narrowed her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"Their goal is to recruit us into their camp."

"Recruit?" Sasori was speechless upon hearing this word, even though he came from Sunagakure.

I never imagined that after being a rogue ninja for so many years, I would be recruited one day.

Even more surprisingly, it was Konoha Village, which was now at the height of its power and had great strength, that extended an olive branch to him.

"That's right, I've already agreed to them. I came here today to persuade you to join us."
