Chapter 265 - Chapter 599: Thirsting for Talent

Chiyo fixed her burning gaze on Minato, then turned to Tsunade and said, "Tsunade, aren't you going to introduce this one to me?"

Tsunade waved her hand casually and replied, "Elder Chiyo, the one in front of you is the famous Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato."

Before her words had even finished, she lightly pointed a finger at Minato.

In an instant, Minato's figure vanished from where he stood like a ghost.

Before anyone could react, in the next moment he reappeared behind Tsunade like a flash of lightning.

Clearly, Minato had deliberately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to prove to Chiyo that he truly was that Namikaze Minato whose name shook the shinobi world.

At this time, the doubt that had been in Chiyo's eyes completely disappeared.

She began to carefully examine Minato's face. The more she looked, the more her expression slowly turned horrified.

You should know that Minato had only recently been revived, so his appearance had not changed in the slightest.

That being the case, it was obvious that this had happened very recently.

Chiyo's eyes widened as she cried out in disbelief, "Could it be… that your medical skills have already reached the point of bringing the dead back to life!?"

After countless hardships and deep research, Chiyo and her team had successfully developed the Reincarnation Technique.

Although the conditions to use that forbidden technique were extremely harsh, it did indeed have the ability to revive the dead, so she could accept it a little more easily.

And for Chiyo, the name Tsunade had always lingered in her heart like a nightmare.

For a long time, Tsunade had been her strongest opponent. It was no exaggeration to say that Tsunade was the number one enemy of the entire Sunagakure.

You should know that almost all of Sunagakure's famous poisons and hidden weapons could be easily countered by Tsunade, who would even develop the corresponding antidotes.

Not only that, the widespread promotion and expansion of Konoha's medical ninja corps could not be separated from Tsunade's persistent efforts behind the scenes.

If Tsunade had truly reached the peak of life sciences and stepped into the extraordinary realm of reviving the dead, then Chiyo could only reluctantly admit it.

Just then, Tsunade suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the side, saying slowly, "There's also an old friend you haven't seen in a long time. He came specially today to meet you."

Hearing this, Chiyo felt puzzled and quickly looked in the direction Tsunade indicated.

She saw a tall, upright man standing there, wearing a mysterious mask on his face.

However, when the man slowly removed his mask, Chiyo's originally calm expression instantly twisted in fury.

Because the face that came into view was the one she hated most in her life, Hatake Sakumo.

"White Fang!"

Chiyo's eyes were wide with rage as she let out a heart tearing roar.

In an instant, her blood surged wildly, and the chakra around her body boiled.

She suddenly stomped hard on the ground, and her whole body shot toward White Fang like an arrow released from a bow.

But White Fang was in the prime of his life now. How could Chiyo possibly injure him so easily?

Facing her fierce attack, White Fang merely shifted his body and used an exquisite Body Flicker Technique.

In the blink of an eye, he had already flashed several meters away, easily avoiding Chiyo's sharp assault.

Tsunade crossed her arms over her chest, her face calm, her sharp eyes fixed on Chiyo as she said slowly, "Elder Chiyo, don't you want your son and daughter in law to return to this world?"

Her tone was calm, yet her words were like a thunderclap exploding deep inside Chiyo's mind.

In that instant, Chiyo seemed struck by lightning. Her body stopped abruptly and became stiff.

She slowly turned her head, staring straight at Tsunade. On her weathered face, countless complex emotions surged forth deep confusion, uncontrollable joy, and unbelievable shock.

All these feelings tangled together, leaving Chiyo momentarily at a loss.

Then, as if she had suddenly realized something, Chiyo quickly turned her head again and looked at White Fang and Minato standing nearby.

Both of them looked extremely young, without the slightest trace of time having passed, clearly having just been revived not long ago.

"So you Konoha have already completely mastered such a miraculous technique…", Chiyo muttered softly, her voice filled with shock.

At this point, the facts were already laid out before her. If only Minato had been revived, perhaps it could still be explained as some special case.

But now even White Fang had returned from the dead. There was no more room for self deception.

Chiyo took a deep breath, trying to calm the storming emotions inside her, then shot White Fang a fierce glare.

However, she quickly forced herself to steady her heart.

Because she knew very clearly that if there truly was a chance to bring her deceased son and daughter in law back to life, then the hatred and resentment she once held toward White Fang no longer seemed important at this moment.

So Chiyo gritted her teeth and asked Tsunade in a low voice, "What exactly do you want this old woman to do?"

Tsunade's gaze fell on the striking Konoha forehead protector on White Fang's head. She lifted a finger and tapped it lightly, saying slowly, "Our Konoha has always been thirsty for talent…"

Before she could finish, Chiyo cut in impatiently, "No problem! From today on, I am one of Konoha's people!"

You should know that Chiyo was already sixty eight years old. Time had left deep marks on her body.

Especially in the past few years when she researched the Reincarnation Technique, she had consumed a great deal of her life force.

Now she knew that she did not have much time left.

Looking back to those days when she was in her prime, Chiyo had devoted her entire life to Sunagakure.

Back then, she valued the village above her own life, even above everyone in the world.

Yet fate had played a cruel joke on her. Her son and daughter in law had died, and her beloved grandson, Sasori of the Red Sand, had chosen to defect.

This series of heavy blows gradually made Chiyo understand that the most precious thing in this world was not the so called glory of a village, but the bond of blood.

At this moment, if she could use her remaining few years to successfully revive her son and daughter in law, then what did defecting from a village even matter?

What was more, Chiyo was currently a prisoner of Konoha. The fact that Konoha had not executed her was already more than merciful.

An old person grows shrewd. There was no need to hesitate over such a matter. How could Chiyo not agree immediately?
