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

Chapter 266 Unclear Stance

When Qianyao went out.

Karin peeked over cautiously, as if afraid of being seen by others.

After seeing Qian Yao, he waved to him repeatedly.

"what happened?"

Qianyao asked in confusion.

Karin waved her hand, signaling Chiyo to lower herself a little. After all, Chiyo was 1.8 meters tall, while she was only ten years old and only reached Chiyo's waist.

Chiyo crouched down, and Karin quietly said to him:

“Master, I just saw Gaara cry.”

Just as Qianyao was about to get up, Xianglin stopped him, saying, "Master, don't go over there."

"Gaara has a strong sense of pride and definitely doesn't want others to see this."

Qianyao patted Xianglin's hair: "You little rascal, you're quite considerate of him."

"Okay, then I won't go."

Karin chuckled, a hint of smugness on her face:

"I just saw people from Sunagakure arrive. Could this be related to them?"

Chiyo nodded: "Sunagakure wants to take Gaara back, but Gaara is unwilling."

Upon hearing this, Karin put her hands on her hips and said angrily:

"Dream on! Gaara suffered so badly in Sunagakure, and Sunagakure still has the nerve to come here."

They've been classmates for so long, even if Gaara can keep quiet, Naruto won't.

So the few people they knew well all knew what kind of life Gaara had lived before.

Although Gaara doesn't talk much, he's very friendly to his classmates, and everyone feels sorry for him.

Karin tugged at Chiyo's sleeve: "Master, let Gaara stay with the Uchiha clan."

She had experienced hardship and couldn't bear to see her teammates suffer, so naturally she wanted to help them.

Chiyo assured him, "Don't worry, with me here, he won't leave the Uchiha clan."

"Yay! Master is so nice!"

Karin hugged Chiyo's face and gave him a quick kiss.

Chiyo patted Karin's head affectionately: "Alright, let's not think about Gaara anymore."

"Have you finished today's sealing technique homework?"

"Oh no! I haven't finished writing yet!"

Karin exclaimed in surprise and ran away like a gust of wind.

"Ah……"

Qian Yao shook his head.

……

After obtaining a large amount of the Water of Life.

Orochimaru's experiments can now be accelerated.

The most recent one is naturally the ailing Kurama Yakumo.

Yakumo Kurama's bloodline limit is actually a kind of soul talent.

However, it was unable to bear the burden itself, which led to the creation of a second soul like Idu.

But Ido's foundation lies with Yakumo.

Ido needs to develop, so he needs to absorb Yakumo's body energy.

Yakumo, lacking sufficient energy, was naturally weak.

Orochimaru is now using the Water of Life to begin preparing medicines.

Yakumo is now beginning her first drug infusion.

Before the IV drip was started, Orochimaru also gave Yakumo some instructions:

"This medicine is different from the previous ones; you will feel a large amount of energy entering your body."

"You need to learn to consciously control how Idu absorbs energy from your body."

"Only by successfully controlling Idu, or by allowing Idu to develop a complete personality, can you take control of your body."

Orochimaru was quite patient with his experimental subjects.

After all, experimental subjects with their own spiritual essence are quite rare.

Although Yakumo Kurama had heard many bad things about Orochimaru before, he was initially quite afraid of Orochimaru.

But after several encounters, Yakumo discovered that Lord Orochimaru was not as terrifying as he had imagined.

Lord Orochimaru is very busy every day, and he doesn't mince words; he usually gets straight to the point.

But he was very patient with her.

Therefore, Yakumo was very cooperative with Orochimaru's various experiments.

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru."

Orochimaru hung the prepared medicine on an IV drip and started administering it to Yakumo.

Yakumo instantly felt a warm sensation throughout her body, and the weakness she had felt before vanished. She felt so comfortable that she wanted to fall asleep.

At that moment, Ido appeared behind her.

"Control Ido to absorb energy." Orochimaru reminded him, and Yakumo finally came to his senses.

Then he kept sending thoughts to Idu.

Ido began to twist and spin continuously, and Yakumo also felt the energy in his body being gradually drained away.

Orochimaru had been monitoring the data the whole time, his eyes filled with excitement.

Idu kept churning, as if it were evolving.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

As Orochimaru finished speaking, Yakumo stopped controlling him.

Orochimaru administered some more nutrients before removing the IV drip.

"Take a moment to feel your own body's condition."

Yakumo stood up as instructed, moved around a couple of times, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Lord Orochimaru, I'm not as tired as I used to be."

Orochimaru nodded slightly:

"From this time onwards, you will need to begin intensive physical training. The better your physical condition, the further you can go in the future."

Yakumo's face was filled with excitement; she had been physically weak for so many years.

I always want to have a healthy body.

Now that she has such an opportunity, how could she not be excited?

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru, I will do my best."

……

Sunagakure Village

Fengying's office.

"They refused!?" Luo Sha was stunned.

"Didn't the Uchiha clan not care about the tailed beasts?"

Chiyo said with a strange expression, "That's right, but Chiyo thinks highly of Gaara, and Gaara doesn't want to come back."

Chiyo then repeated Gaara's original words.

Luo Sha's face turned ashen upon hearing this: "That failed product killed so many people when it went out of control before, and it still has the nerve to talk about it."

A fleeting hint of mockery crossed Chiyo's eyes:

"In short, Uchiha Chiyo used this as an excuse not to let Gaara return."

You should make plans soon.

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Elder Chiyo."

Chiyo didn't say anything more and left directly.

Luo Sha narrowed his eyes slightly.

Does Chiyo really think I didn't see the mockery in her eyes just now?

"Someone come here."

"Yes, Lord Kazekage." The Sand Village ninja quickly entered from outside the door.

"Go and call Maki over."

"Yes."

A short while later, Maki arrived at the office.

"Kazekage-sama."

As the Kazekage's right-hand man, Maki enjoys Rasa's deep trust.

"Maki, go to Amegakure and contact the Akatsuki to see if Zenku can help us get the Tailed Beasts back."

Maki was taken aback. He knew about the Third Hokage's cooperation with them: "The Uchiha refuse to release them?"

Rasa shook his head and told Maki about Chiyo's trip.

Maki frowned and pondered, "But the Akatsuki organization is very likely to be colluding with the Uchiha."

Luo Sha nodded and said:

"Let's give it a try. It'll be a good opportunity to see whether Akatsuki is a purely mercenary organization or has its own principles."

Rasa doesn't have many options left. The Third Hokage gave them 3 billion yen, all they wanted was to take the Jinchuriki away from the Uchiha clan.

Now the only option is to try and establish Akatsuki's stance; it doesn't matter if we get caught anyway.

"I understand, I'll set off right away."
