Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Why?

Because Rasa had previously made a deal with Granny Chiyo.

As long as he ignores Sasori killing the Third Kazekage, Granny Chiyo will take Kankuro as her student and teach him puppetry.

Granny Chiyo's puppetry skills may not be the strongest, but they are the best for teaching.

She taught Scorpion all his puppetry skills.

If Kankuro could train under Granny Chiyo, he would be an excellent puppeteer even if he didn't reach Sasori's level in the future.

Rasa asked Yashamaru to bring some fish, and then he took Kankuro and Temari to visit Granny Chiyo's house.

Scorpions are dangerous.

Rasa knew he was in danger, but with the Anbu and Granny Chiyo there, he couldn't possibly let Temari and Kankuro get eaten, could he?

Luo Sha also wanted to improve his relationship with Sasori.

After all, war is coming, and we are all people who need to rely on each other. We can't always be on guard against Scorpion.

Upon hearing that he could see Sasori, Kankuro was overjoyed. His buttocks no longer hurt, and he got up, grabbed Yashamaru's hand, and headed straight for Granny Chiyo's house.

"Kankuro, slow down, don't fall."

Kankuro, Temari, and Yashamaru were on their way to Granny Chiyo's house.

Yashamaru was carrying two anglerfish tied with rope.

Kankuro was overjoyed: "I'm finally going to meet Lord Sasori. This is my first time meeting Lord Sasori."

Sasori's defection occurred three years prior, before Kankuro was even born. Kankuro's admiration for Sasori came from what he heard from others.

The most renowned genius puppeteer in Sunagakure, the most talented puppeteer in Sunagakure's history, and the god of puppets in the ancient land of Fuu...

This string of fancy titles made Kankuro, who was already extremely interested in puppets, admire Sasori even more.

He had to hurry to Granny Chiyo's house to stand at attention for Sasori and try to become Sasori's soldier.

Temari lectured Kankuro like a little adult: "Kankuro, you can't be disrespectful when you go to Granny Chiyo's house. You'd better watch my eyes and act accordingly."

Temari is not interested in puppetry.

Puppet masters are a group of people who are covered in paint, wear thick robes, and hide themselves completely.

They wear bizarre and ugly clothes and are often accompanied by poison and murder weapons.

Temari usually keeps her distance.

As a top puppeteer, Scorpion must have a very strange appearance, hiding himself completely, his whole body covered in poison.

Soon, Temari and Kankuro arrived at Granny Chiyo's house.

Temari loves visiting Granny Chiyo's house because Granny Chiyo has a medicinal herb garden that she cultivates, and Granny Chiyo uses groundwater to irrigate it.

This is probably one of the few green spots in Sunagakure!

Temari, at her age, is quite tired of the unchanging sandy yellow of Sunagakure and longs to see some green that represents vitality.

As soon as they approached Granny Chiyo's house, Temari, Kankuro, and Yashamaru smelled the delicious aroma of dog meat.

Kankuro's mouth watered at the smell: "It smells so good! Does Granny Chiyo's family eat so well?"

There's a saying among the people: "Dog meat stewed for three rounds, its aroma fills the whole village, even immortals would be tempted by it."

Dog meat is delicious, more tender than beef, leaner and less greasy than pork, and more flavorful than chicken and fish.

Dog meat is also called "fragrant meat".

Even the secret agents monitoring Scorpion couldn't resist the aroma; the scent of dog meat completely captivated them.

Temari knocked on the door: "Grandma, we've come to see you!"

"It's Temari and Kankuro! It's been so long since I've seen you!"

Grandma Chiyo loves children.

In the original work, he initially didn't treat Naruto and Gaara well, but he actually cared deeply for children, especially those with tragic fates.

After Scorpion left, she looked at the village children as if they were Scorpion!

Gaara and Sasori are somewhat similar.

Both have red hair. Sasori is lonely because he lost his parents, and Gaara is lonely because he is ostracized by others.

Granny Chiyo saw Sasori's shadow in Gaara.

Gaara's loneliness was partly caused by Chiyo.

It was she who suggested that Rasa seal Shukaku inside Gaara's body, and it was she who personally performed the seal to make Gaara Shukaku's jinchūriki.

Grandma Chiyo also suffered the same tragic fate as Gaara!

The shadow of Scorpion, past mistakes, letting go of obsessions after Scorpion's death, and the greater good of the village...

Granny Chiyo had too many reasons to revive Gaara.

But what truly motivated her to do it was that it was meaningful.

Grandma Chiyo was already old and frail. Exchanging her old age for a child's new life was more meaningful than dying alone.

"Yashamaru, you're here too!"

Grandma Chiyo looked at Yashamaru, who was carrying two anglerfish, and didn't know what to say.

"You're welcome to come, why bring a gift?"

"This was given to Grandma by Lord Kazekage."

Yashamaru is a medical jonin from Sunagakure who learned poison techniques from Granny Chiyo.

Granny Chiyo greatly appreciated Yashamaru's girlish thoughtfulness, but her biggest regret was that Yashamaru was a man.

If Yashamaru were a girl, she and Sasori would be a perfect match; they'd be the same age and classmates.

How wonderful it would be if I could get together with Scorpion!

"Come, come, don't stand there, come inside and eat dog meat."

The inner room.

"Little Yekura dares to compete with me, Sasori of the Red Sand!"

Liao Wu was fighting with Ye Cang for food. Liao Wu didn't even use chopsticks; he just used his ten fingers to extend chakra threads to control it.

Ye Cang tried to grab a piece, but Ye Cang snatched it away.

Ebizo watched silently. The scorpion in his eyes had changed; it had become childlike and competitive.

But Ebizo was very pleased with this change.

Scorpion's personality became much more cheerful; he had never eaten at the same table with them before.

When I see someone I don't like, I put on a hat and ignore them, and I'm always alone.

Granny Chiyo entered with Temari and Kankuro, greeting Ryogoku with, "Sasori, Yashamaru is here, along with Rasa's two children."

"These were born after you left the village. You haven't seen them yet!"

Liao Wu stopped playing with Ye Cang and looked at Kankuro and Temari, who were only toddlers, with some curiosity.

Without any paint, Kankuro in his puppet costume is actually quite cute.

Of course, the cutest one is Temari.

She wore a dark purple long-sleeved pullover and light gray leggings for easy movement on the sand.

Temari's hair inherited Karura's light gold color and was tied into four sharp star-shaped ponytails, like sea buckthorn in the desert, making her look both energetic and a bit stubborn.

This was also the first time that Temari had ever met the famous Sasori.

Temari was stunning at first glance.

Because Scorpion—is just too handsome.

This handsome man completely overturned Temari's impression of puppeteers.

In her eyes, puppeteers were a group of strangely dressed people who spent all their time with poisonous scorpions and centipedes.

Their behavior was also extremely strange.

The only normal one is Granny Chiyo, the puppeteer, but Granny Chiyo can be quite mischievous at times, often pretending to be dead to fool children.

Temari isn't someone who's obsessed with looks, but Sasori's appearance completely changed her impression of a puppeteer.
