Lin Ke thought to himself, at this moment, his aversion to Sasori had faded.
Now there is a real possibility of facing a catastrophe. Under the crisis, it seems that dislike and like are not so important.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is really too strong.
In the manga, the reason they were able to seal her was because Naruto and Sasuke obtained the power of the Six Paths, Kakashi, who received the power from Obito and had dual Kamui, and the three cheaters joined forces, plus Kaguya was stupid enough. Whether there would be another chance is questionable.
After all, the dual Kamui on Kakashi was a one-time thing.
Anyway, he had to wait for Uchiha Madara to return, whether he committed suicide or was killed, he would eventually return. He didn't feel like doing anything else during this time, so he might as well chat with his former subordinates whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
By the way, he could also listen to what Sasori of the Red Sand wanted to cooperate with him on.
Even Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, the ancestor of Chakra in the Naruto World, couldn't harm the soul. Nohara Rin pulled Kakashi and Obito in front of her to block the attack, and nothing happened.
The All-Killing Ash Bones, which could shatter the Perfect Susanoo with one blow, only shattered Obito's body, and his soul was still alive and kicking.
As for the Fourth Hokage's arm being erased by the Truth-Seeking Ball, it was obvious that the Truth-Seeking Ball's characteristic of erasing all Ninjutsu erased part of the Impure World Reincarnation Ninjutsu.
If Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's ability to travel through space could chase over here, there would theoretically be two Sages of Six Paths in two worlds.
I wonder if the two old men who pass on their power will pass on their power to Hashirama and Madara.
Lin Ke followed Hina to the hotel where the Sand Ninja Village group was staying with worry.
Sigh, Six Paths, sigh, Ōtsutsuki He sighed silently, put away the sorrow on his face, and came peacefully to Gaara's door.
"Click~"
The door was opened proactively, and Gaara, whose dark circles under his eyes had not disappeared, stood at the door, looking at his friend outside the door, a smile slowly appearing on his face.
"Long time no see." He opened his arms.
"Long time no see." Lin Ke hugged him, then smiled and said, "Your smile is becoming more and more normal."
"..."
Gaara smiled a little shyly. He just hadn't been in contact with people before and didn't understand at all. He wasn't really an idiot. After returning from Konoha Village, he frantically took on tasks for the village while trying to learn everything that normal people should learn.
Now, if he were to evaluate himself, he was already the same as a normal person, and even felt a little ashamed of his immature performance in the past.
It had been a year and a half since they were released from their status as prisoners in Konoha Village and returned to Sand Ninja Village.
Such a long time had passed in a flash, and they had slowly learned to take on the responsibility of protecting the village, just like their former teacher Maki.
"Congratulations." Lin Ke congratulated with a smile. Some words were unspoken, and he could tell from the other party's expression. "By the way, has Shukaku been causing trouble again?"
Hearing Shukaku's name, Gaara's expression became a little strange. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, it said that as long as it doesn't transform into a Tailed Beast in front of you, it won't keep disturbing my sleep."
"It's quite afraid of you."
He summarized, his expression suddenly absent-minded for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face, as if someone had said something in his ear.
He was probably communicating with Shukaku.
It's a bit wonderful, he actually walked the path of a perfect Jinchuriki like this? Lin Ke thought to himself, and a surprised shout came from the side.
"Lin Ke!" Temari, who was a little over a year older, stood prettily not far away, her hands clasped behind her back, her face a mixture of joy and distance.
Girls really can change a lot in just over a year. The straightforward tomboy of the past now had some curves in her figure, her face was softer, and she was starting to have a feminine charm.
If Lin Ke used to see her as no different from a child, now he would really treat her as a member of the opposite sex.
However, affection will always fade with time. Not seeing each other for so long has indeed created a lot of distance.
"Lin Ke-sensei~" The one who called out most affectionately was Kankuro. His face was full of smiles as he held the scroll at his waist, walked over, put his arm around Lin Ke's shoulder, and whispered, "I've saved a lot of money. Do you still have the puppet from before for me?"
Lin Ke gave a thumbs up and then looked towards the end of the corridor.
Sasori of the Red Sand, who once had to hide under Hiruko, was now appearing in his original body. He wore the Sand Ninja Village Forehead Protector around his neck, his expression still as cold as ever, but his eyes no longer had the emptiness of the past.
What had changed this human puppet?
Lin Ke had no intention of investigating. He smiled and said, "What brings you here to see me?"
"The Chunin Exams are being held soon, and Kankuro and I are here to discuss the arrangements," Temari said first.
"I came with Sasori to buy back his original body, and also to see you," Gaara said frankly.
Sasori stood there for a while before saying, "Besides wanting to buy back my original body, I also want to talk to you about the previous collaboration."
Here it comes.
Lin Ke made a gesture of listening attentively.
"The Sealing Jutsu you used on Orochimaru can create an Original Body that continuously absorbs Natural Energy." Sasori was very frank. "If that Sealing Jutsu is combined with a Human Puppet, it can create an immortal Sage Art Human Puppet that uses Natural Energy."
The three people next to him didn't react at all, probably because they had heard similar things before? It seemed like they had a pretty good relationship.
"Oh."
Lin Ke casually replied, "Not interested."
The original developer and successful test subject, Orochimaru, was now in World Number Two, indulging in Net and Boat Crossing Technique every day, occasionally watching him with a greedy and gloomy smile, and then being rewarded with a Sharingan by Sasuke, or simply being secretly warned by Utakata with small notes late at night.
It could only be said that the development space of the Five Elements Sealing was stuck.
Completely using Natural Energy without being changed was impossible.
Jugo and Kimimaro still had to receive Tsunade's follow-up treatment from time to time, otherwise, they might inexplicably die.
Orochimaru and Tsunade, two completely successful people, both took the path of Sage Mode, combining Chakra with Natural Energy.
The only difference between them was that one emphasized the creation of the five elements, and the other required the destruction of the five elements.
So after Orochimaru activated Sage Mode, a severed finger could grow back in seconds, and when Tsunade entered Sage Mode, a punch would send air cannons flying everywhere. Strictly speaking, their strength was flawed Super-Kage level.
In a state where they could enter Sage Mode, they were about the same strength as Senju Tobirama in his prime, just afraid of being suddenly killed.
Don't think that Orochimaru surrendered so readily. There weren't many Senju Hashiramas in the world, and even fewer Sarutobi Hiruzens.
Well, wait, in the infinite multiverse, there seemed to be quite a few.
