After reaching a deal with Grandma Chiyo, Mizuki no longer cared about the trivial details.

Next, after letting others take over and inject Chuck into Grandma Chiyo's body, he stepped back and thought about his own things quietly.

After nearly an hour, when the scene was so quiet that it made people feel a little uncomfortable, Gaara, who had been unresponsive at first, finally showed some movement. Correspondingly, Grandma Chiyo's body could no longer hold on.

"Gaara..."

Kankuro and Temari looked at the Godaime Kazekage with surprise as his eyelids began to tremble.

After a while, Gaara, who was already completely dead, finally opened his eyes.

Gaara, who had just come back to life and had not yet realized what had happened to him, looked at the people around him blankly.

"What am I doing?"

"Just wake up."

The Kisei Tensei was performed successfully, and finally lived up to the expectations of Grandma Chiyo. Kankuro stepped forward and helped Gaara sit up.

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Gaara shook his head:

"What happened here? Also, didn't I fight the previous Kazekage and Kabuto Yakushi? How, I was saved?"

"That's about it, Gaara. These are secondary. I'll tell you slowly later. Now..."

Kankuro looked at Grandma Chiyo with some sadness.

"If you have anything to say, you should talk to Elder Chiyo."

It was only at this time that Gaara noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the highly respected Dinghaishenzhen of the Sand Village.

"Are you injured?"

"If only you were injured, Gaara..."

Grandma Chiyo coughed twice with difficulty and tried to cheer herself up.

"From now on, the Sand Village will be entrusted to you. Do as you wish. Temari, Kankuro, and Maki will help you. If you have any trouble, go find Ebizo. Even though he looks very old, he should still be able to live for a long time."

"You used the method of reincarnation? I see... I've already died once!"

The Kisei Tensei technique was created by Granny Chiyo several years ago, but the problems with this technique were too great.

Every ninja village has something similar to the Sealed Book of Konoha Village, and the Sand Village with a long history is no exception. After this jutsu was created, only Chiyo-chan used it. In the sealed information, there is no complete training method, only some effects and possible consequences of ninjutsu.

There is no way to learn this technique relying on these. From the very beginning, Granny Chiyo only intended to use it as a substitute to resurrect her son and daughter-in-law - a puppet "father" and "mother" to compensate for her grandson - the secret technique of Scorpion of the Red Sand. Granny Chiyo, who has lived for decades, certainly understands that it is better to let it be lost. If someone can reproduce his own reincarnation through a few words of description, it is no longer Granny Chiyo's business.

Anyone who has the talent to accomplish this, even if he has not achieved Jishen Reincarnation, will sooner or later learn other dangerous forbidden techniques that are no less powerful than Jishen Reincarnation.

Because of this, Gaara, as the fifth Kazekage, naturally knew that Granny Chiyo had this secret technique to bring the dead back to life. Given such an unfavorable situation, coupled with his own condition and Granny Chiyo's poor physical condition, it was obvious that he would pass away.

"Don't be sad, Gaara. My time has long passed. I just have a deep obsession. That's why I've been meddling in the village's affairs for so many years. The Sandaime Kazekage and your father, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, are actually very dissatisfied with me. I know all this. It's just that there are some things that I'm worried about, so I have to let the village act according to my will. Now, the future of the village depends on you. I really want to see what the Sand Village will look like in the future, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance anymore..."

Grandma Chiyo, who was gasping for breath and couldn't even open her eyes, didn't even have the strength to speak. The last few words were almost stuck in her lips. Her mumbling voice would have been almost inaudible if the three Sand Ninjas hadn't been standing close to her.

Soon, Grandma Chiyo, who had long lost all her chakra and vitality, began to breathe and then there was no movement.

Not far away, the Konoha ninjas quietly watched the final exchanges of the Sand ninjas. When everything was settled, even if they were not their compatriots, several Konoha ninjas could feel the sadness.

The vast majority of ninjas cannot escape the fate of dying in battle. Since they have picked up weapons to kill people, they should be prepared to be killed.

"In the end, someone still sacrificed themselves. What a pity!"

Kakashi Hatake pulled down his forehead protector to cover his left eye's Sharingan. The battle was over and he no longer had to be as nervous as before.

"As a ninja, this day will come. It is rare for a ninja to die of natural causes. Even the first four generations of Hokage, who are known as the strongest in the ninja world, all died in accidents. You can imagine the situation of other ninjas."

Mizuki and Kakashi's chat surprised Uzumaki Naruto, who was secretly saddened by Chiyo's sacrifice and was also grateful for Gaara's resurrection:

"The previous Hokage also died in battle? It's hard to believe."

If this is true, Hokage is indeed a dangerous profession. Naruto, who has always been pursuing the position of Hokage tirelessly, has a deeper understanding of this.

"So, what do you think the Hokage is? When the village is in danger, the one who is most in need of dedication is the leader. Others can find excuses to retreat, but the Hokage must lead the village to overcome all difficulties and move forward. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of being loved by all the villagers?"

Hatake Kakashi patted Naruto's shoulder.

"Look, there is a ready-made example right in front of us. The fifth Kazekage Gaara was the first target of the enemy. Even if the chakra of the tailed beast in his body was not completely extracted, he would be killed to weaken the combat effectiveness of the five major ninja villages. War is not a ninja game. It is a meat grinder where you fight to the death. Don't take any chances."

Although the war mobilization order has not been officially issued, the arrow is on the string and no one can stop the outbreak of war.

"Are you scared? Coward..."

Uchiha Sasuke, who didn't say much and didn't have many opportunities to show off, only used Susanoo to hit the Gaiden Statue with a few Indra's Arrows. Looking at Naruto who always talked about the position of Hokage, he habitually made sarcastic remarks.

"Who's afraid? I won't give up. I will definitely become the Hokage. Not only that, I will make the village a better place... No, I want other villages to be happy and peaceful too!"

"Can you do that, you naive one!"

Uchiha Sasuke curled his lips in disdain.
