"The antidote?"
Nanaya said casually, "Do you need that kind of thing? It's alright."
Is it ok?
Baki froze in place.
The other Sand Shinobi ninjas stared.
Naturally, it is possible.
Otherwise, how could Nanaya say that the student surpasses the master?
His medical ninjutsu treats patients with remarkable speed.
Uh-huh...
Temari and Kankuro, on the hospital bed, whispered softly, and their closed eyes slowly opened.
Their pale and pained complexions became quite relaxed and gradually turned healthy.
Uchiha Nanaya said it was fine, and that was true.
Seeing Temari and Kankuro awake, Baki and the others beamed with joy.
"God, Master Nanaya's medical ninjutsu is truly divine!"
"Yes, as expected of the medical ninjutsu learned from Hokage-sama."
...
All of a sudden, everyone not only praised Uchiha Nanaya but also Tsunade by extension.
"The two of them are still in the recovery stage and will be fine after a few days of quiet cultivation."
"Thank you, Master Nanaya!"
"Thank you, Master Nanaya!"
...
When Kankuro and Temari woke up, a big stone in Baki's heart finally fell.
The only thing he's worried about now is Gaara.
This is also the last wish of the Fourth Kazekage, Rōsha.
The huge sand wall caused Sunagakure more architectural damage.
The ninjas and villagers hardly suffered any casualties.
Sunagakure had recovered a lot after the Third Ninja War, and now they have suffered a heavy blow from Akatsuki.
Having a tailed beast is a mistake.
Nanaya clapped his hands.
"Okay, the patients have recovered, so I'll go to Akatsuki."
"Master Nanaya, how many ninjas do you need? Just say it."
"No, I can do it alone."
"This..."
Baki and others couldn't believe it, but the opponent is Akatsuki!
He had seen Nanaya suppress the One-Tail, but at that time, there was also the Fourth Kazekage, Rōsha, to assist.
And now, Nanaya would have to face two S-rank rebels if he went alone.
The Fourth Kazekage, Rōsha, was defeated by the opponent.
Also, Jinchūriki Gaara was captured alive.
This is enough to explain Akatsuki's horror.
And Nanaya said he wanted to go alone; this is a bit too much.
"Master Nanaya, are you afraid that our Sand Shinobi ninjas will hold you back? Don't worry, I will let an Elite Jōnin go with you."
Baki is going to be in charge of the big picture in Sunagakure and naturally can't get away.
In Sunagakure, officials older than Baki belonged to the two reclusive elders.
But they have completely ignored Sunagakure's business.
It's Chiyo's mother-in-law and her brother, Ebizō.
Sunagakure's survival has nothing to do with them.
At the moment, in the entire Sunagakure, only Baki can take charge of the overall situation.
Laggards?
Nanaya nodded without thinking.
This is indeed the case.
And they can't keep up with his speed.
If he used the Flying Thunder God technique with extra weight, it would only cause trouble for himself.
Uchiha Nanaya directly admitted the matter.
Baki had a black line on his face.
"Then, Master Nanaya, don't be in such a hurry to retrieve the One-Tail, or you can rest for a while, and it's not too late for Konoha's comrades to come along!"
Baki knows that Nanaya is Konoha's ninja.
He must have a tacit understanding with Konoha's ninjas in terms of performing tasks.
The cooperation will be in place, at least he will be relieved.
"Your Kakashi and the others, they are coming tomorrow."
Before Baki and the others could react, Nanaya disappeared in front of them.
Several other Sand Shinobi ninjas looked at each other.
"Master Baki, do you think Master Nanaya is really, really okay?"
"You ask me, who do I ask? But Master Nanaya has such self-confidence; of course, he can."
When Kankuro and Temari woke up, their minds were still blurry.
"Who saved us?"
"You two, it's really disturbing. If it wasn't for Uchiha Nanaya from Konoha, you wouldn't be alive tomorrow night."
Uchiha Nanaya?
Both Temari and Kankuro were impressed.
They saw Nanaya a few years ago when he came to their Sunagakure for a mission, and they saw off Nanaya, Asuma, and the others together with the Fourth Kazekage, Rōsha.
Naturally, Temari needn't say more; she is a face control, and her impression of handsome guys is unforgettable.
...
In the desert, Deidara and Sasori were still moving slowly.
They have come a long way from Sunagakure.
To seal the tailed beasts, they must start with the One-Tail, so this Jinchūriki they captured is the first step in the organization's plan.
Deidara, who pursues art, knows to catch tailed beasts.
Knowing the purpose, planning, or whatever, he didn't take it to heart.
"Brother Sasori, Jinchūriki is weak; I think you took this kid easily."
"No, this kid is very strong; I didn't do it easily."
The current Gaara is 11 years old. Because of the shortage of ninjas in the village, he has become a Genin of Sand Shinobi ahead of time.
His strength is not weak; some Jōnin of Sunagakure are not as good as him.
Aha—
Deidara gave a long yawn.
"Sasori-senpai, what did the leader say Akatsuki's purpose was at that time? I forgot."
"Hmph, how can a guy like you, who only knows that art is an explosion, care about other things?"
There was a hint of superiority in Sasori's words.
The first stage of the organization's goal is to make money, and this has always been handled by Kakuzu.
It's a pity that the two zombie groups, Kakuzu and Hidan, died in the Land of Fire.
The money of the organization is handled by Konan.
If Kakuzu knew that Konan bought 600 billion explosive tags, wouldn't he cry and faint in the toilet?
Sasori's magnetic voice continued: "The second stage of the organization is to use the money to build a war-hire organization in the ninja world."
Having experienced this second stage of development, Akatsuki at that time was the most powerful being in this world.
Even if the five countries of Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Earth unite, Akatsuki is not afraid at all.
Then the third stage is to conquer the ninja world.
Sasori spoke to Deidara word by word.
Deidara almost fell asleep.
He doesn't care about these goals and plans; all he cares about is his art.
When he joined Akatsuki, he was defeated by Itachi's power.
Each member of Akatsuki represents a unique art to Deidara.
Akatsuki is an art group, and Deidara has always thought so.
Suddenly, Sasori stopped.
"Brother Sasori, what's the matter? Can't walk? I already said it, it's time to use my clay Asuka."
When leaving Sunagakure, Deidara flew Sasori and Gaara with clay birds for a while.
Now that Sand Shinobi's pursuers won't come after them, they just walk.
Anyway, the leader didn't urge them, so they could play as much as they wanted.
But this time, Sasori stopped because he couldn't walk anymore.
"Deidara, haven't you noticed yet?"
Sasori's tone became somewhat cautious.
"Someone!"
Deidara's face tensed, and he threw a small clay bird directly to his right.
Boom—
A loud noise followed, and the dust flew up.
"Deidara, your moves are too conspicuous."
"This is art, Sasori-senpai!"
The smoke cleared, and a young figure appeared in front of Deidara and Sasori—Uchiha Nanaya.
"Boy, who are you?"
Nanaya is Konoha's Hokage advisor, so there is no need to wear a forehead protector.
He never wore a Konoha forehead protector.
A forehead protector will only affect his appearance.
Nanaya didn't answer Sasori's words directly and pointed to the Gaara wrapped around the tail of Hiryu Amber.
"That kid, I want him."
"What—"
Deidara made a megaphone gesture with his right hand to his ear.
With a mocking look.
"Boy, what did you say?"
Deidara had never seen anything so funny growing up.
The prey they had finally captured was demanded by a boy they didn't know.
What Sasori captures is what he captures.
After all, he also played the role of containment.
Holding down the Fourth Kazekage, Rōsha, was no easy feat!
Credit, hard work, it's all there.
And a boy they didn't know suddenly appeared in front of them and pretended to be bitter.
Of the opponents Deidara has faced, he has only lost to Uchiha Itachi.
But Uchiha Itachi isn't as cool as the guy in front of him!
Nanaya smiled.
"To be honest, I don't want to fight with you, but that kid, the One-Tail Jinchūriki, I want him!"
"Hahaha..."
Sasori was silent, but Deidara laughed.
It was the funniest joke he had ever heard.
After a day's rest, Deidara's stamina and chakra have almost recovered.
There is such an ignorant boy in front of him; it seems he wants to show him his art!
Anyone who has seen his art will never be so arrogant.
Except that man.
The man Deidara was talking about was, of course, Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha's Sharingan left a deep psychological shadow on him.
In this regard, his eyes are also equipped with cameras, and he has developed new moves.
It's just to deal with Sharingan's illusion and use the new technique to get rid of the shame.
"Deidara, be careful, this kid is not easy."
To quietly appear within ten meters of the two of them.
Sasori had been on the alert for Uchiha Nanaya; he didn't make a rash move just to see Nanaya's motives.
Now Sasori's motives are clear; it's to grab the Jinchūriki.
One person?
Sasori knows Sunagakure's ninja fairly well.
From the point of view of dress, Nanaya doesn't look like Sunagakure's ninja.
"Boy, aren't you a Sand Shinobi ninja? Do you know who we are and dare to come alone?"
"Yeah, boy, we're not busy; you'll die very badly if you suddenly appear in front of us," Deidara agreed.
For some reason, this young man suddenly appeared in front of him.
Sasori's heart was always tense, his attention more concentrated than ever before, and he didn't dare to make a rash move.
Nanaya crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Fine, I'm not busy, Deidara, Sasori, we can have a good chat."
