Chiyo spoke calmly.

However, Sasori fell into silence. He knew very clearly in his heart why Chiyo had made such a decision.

"After being a ninja of Sunagakure for so many years, can you really let it go?"

Chiyo looked at Sasori with a kind face, "It took me many years to understand what truly matters most."

"I'm already this old, I don't have many years left to live. Being able to see you all reunited before I die is my greatest wish."

Chiyo looked at Sasori with a face full of apology, "Child, the reason I hid some things from you back then was only because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to bear the blow of the truth. I'm sorry…"

As Chiyo's words fell, many fragments of the past suddenly flashed through Sasori's mind.

Those scenes that had once been buried deep in his heart now surged up like a tide, leaving him somewhat overwhelmed for a moment.

The chakra that had been running steadily through his body also became disordered because of his emotional turmoil.

In the end, Sasori took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and slowly sighed, "The waiting was just too long, so long that I already gave up hope… Grandma."

Although Sasori did not clearly say the word "forgive," when he called her "Grandma," Chiyo's eyes instantly turned red.

Chiyo steadied her emotions and slowly said, "Ever since they passed away, I have never stopped exploring and researching in this area."

"After a long time of study and practice, I can confirm that these techniques are absolutely feasible."

"If I didn't have complete confidence, I wouldn't have chosen to stay."

Sasori quietly listened to Chiyo's words, and a ripple rose in his heart.

Even though he still looked indifferent on the surface, he had already begun to waver inside.

After all, when it came to reviving his parents, even if there was only the slightest bit of hope, he was unwilling to miss it easily.

Now that Chiyo had laid everything out so clearly, Sasori finally gave a slight nod in agreement:

"Fine. If that's the case, I'll agree to try. But… what exactly do we need to prepare to revive them?"

Hearing Sasori agree, the tightly wound string in Chiyo's heart relaxed a little.

She lowered her eyes and softly replied, "As long as we have their remains, that will be enough."

Sasori nodded, then asked, "Is there anything else required besides that? For example, a specific environment or special materials?"

Chiyo shook her head and explained, "For now, having their remains is sufficient."

"Of course, the entire revival process won't happen overnight. It will probably take about five to six years. So during that time, you must be mentally prepared."

Sasori did not show much surprise at this. He understood very well.

If bringing the dead back to life were truly that easy, Konoha would probably already be filled with powerful figures who had once passed away.

After thinking for a moment, Sasori suggested, "Five or six years of waiting is long, but still within what I can bear."

"But the urgent matter right now is that we need to retrieve Father and Mother's remains first."

When Chiyo went to the battlefield, it was naturally impossible for her to bring everything with her.

All of those things were still in Sunagakure. Although Ebizo was still there, until they got those items back, it would never feel secure.

Chiyo nodded slightly, "That's fine. We'll inform Konoha first, then make arrangements to go back."

Inside Orochimaru's bright and tidy underground laboratory—

Uchiha Rinjin reported to Orochimaru, who was buried among a pile of complicated blueprints and working busily, "Lady Tsunade instructed you to handle this matter."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's hand, which had been focused on drawing, paused slightly. A trace of doubt and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

When he heard that it was related to Rengoku, he put down what he was holding and gave his full attention to Uchiha Rinjin.

In the past, Rengoku had casually mentioned Deidara to Orochimaru, but he had only briefly described Deidara's personality and the talent he showed in ninjutsu.

However, during the Akatsuki's ambush on Kumogakure half a year ago, Deidara had actually displayed the extremely rare and terrifying Dust Release.

What was even more unbelievable was that at the time, Deidara was not yet fifteen years old, yet he was already able to skillfully use such a powerful technique that belonged to the category of Bloodline Selection.

This undoubtedly proved that Deidara possessed extraordinary talent, even more outstanding than Rengoku had previously described.

Although Rengoku had not clearly stated any specific arrangements or plans regarding Deidara, with Orochimaru's intelligence and strategy, such a small issue was naturally no difficulty for him.

After thinking briefly, he decisively gave the order, "I understand. Bring him to the hospital's meeting room immediately. I'll be there shortly."

After receiving the command, Uchiha Rinjin promptly responded, "Yes." Then he turned and left quickly.

It was worth mentioning that the Uchiha clan's hospital and Orochimaru's research facility were actually connected.

Such a layout was not without reason, because when Orochimaru conducted certain in depth research.

He often needed to rely on special patients as experimental subjects or observation samples in order to obtain more accurate data and information.

As a highly respected medical ninja of Konoha, Tsunade knew that many villagers could not receive timely and effective treatment because of financial difficulties.

Therefore, she decided to regularly provide some free medical quotas, specifically used for researching and tackling difficult and complicated diseases.

Although the villagers of Konoha had fortunately not personally experienced the severe suffering brought by large scale wars.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death were still part of life, and illness always troubled people's lives.

In any world, medical services often required a large amount of money, which was undoubtedly a heavy burden for many ordinary villagers.

Because of this, these free medical quotas became a rare ray of hope for them.

However, accepting such free treatment did not come without a price.

The patients were essentially acting as "lab rats" in medical research, meaning they would be the first to try treatment methods and medicines that were not yet fully mature.

But on the other hand, not only did they not need to pay high medical fees, they also had a chance to cure illnesses that had tormented them for a long time, which could be considered killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, there were certain risks involved, but fortunately, after careful evaluation and screening by Tsunade and her team, these risks were usually not too great.

After all, those truly high risk and potentially fatal experiments had already been carried out on the Sarutobi clan.
