Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 181 Raikage Cells and Taking a Side Trip to Check on the Students

"How is it?"

However, before leaving Sunagakure, Yubi made a special trip to the hospital's special department.

That is, the former research room for medicinal materials.

This place has been converted into a rather special room, and it remains an area where outsiders are prohibited from entering.

Yubi pushed open the door and entered, looking at the figures lying on the hospital beds, and asked.

"Kazekage-sama——"

Upon seeing that the visitor was Yubi, the Sand Village ninja were immediately startled and tried to bow.

Yubi raised his hand to stop them.

"fine."

"Thanks to the medicine prepared by Lord Kazekage, we did not have a strong rejection reaction."

Several Sand Villagers wore smiles on their faces.

"Although the rejection problem has been resolved, it was the Third Raikage's cells that were transplanted, and the strength of his cells is no joke—" Yubi walked up to a Sand Village ninja, raised his hand and lifted a corner of his hospital gown, revealing a patch of skin on his abdomen that was a completely different color from his own.

There was no sign of stitches at the wound site; it looked completely intact.

However—at the edges of the two different colored skins, there seemed to be some signs of flesh being burned.

That's right, he has already transplanted the cells of the Third Raikage into some of the Sunagakure's experimental subjects.

Furthermore, they cultivated and preserved a portion of the flesh and blood cells of the Third Raikage.

After a period of research, the Third Raikage's corpse was no longer of much value to Yubi.

Just a few days ago, someone secretly sent the body to the Land of Rivers, as a package to Sasori.

"It seems it will take some time before you can completely absorb and assimilate these cells." Yubi opened her eye, observed the person's physical condition, and said softly, "You can already use lightning-style chakra, right?"

"Um."

Sunagakure nodded, then opened his palm, revealing a faint crackling of electricity in his hand.

"Any black mines?"

Yubi looked at the other Sand Villagers inside the house.

The group exchanged glances and shook their heads.

"It's alright—being able to obtain some technique records from the Raikage's cells and utilize them is already quite good."

"Yubi encouraged."

The recipients of Ray Shadow cell transplantation were carefully selected by him.

For a typical Sand Village, extracting and reproducing the technique record during the process of the body accepting and assimilating Raikage cells is not an easy task.

Immediately, Yubi said some words of comfort to the group, expressing his gratitude for their desire and awareness to serve the village, and that they had done a very good job.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they left first.

He found Chiyo and indicated that he needed to go out to take care of some business.

It is related to a project in the village.

Chiyo didn't think much of it—she assumed he was doing business with some small countries, just like before.

To everyone's surprise, Yubi left alone this time, without any guards.

He even had to risk his life to venture alone into the water kingdom.

If she knew the truth—she probably wouldn't just be angry.

It's important to know that the death of the Third Kazekage remains an unsolved mystery for the village, and the only person who knows the truth is Arai.

In Chiyo's and the others' view, the Third Kazekage died outside the village for some unknown reason.

Now, Yubi, the Fourth Kazekage, has only been in office for six months, and he's already pulling this stunt. If something goes wrong, he'll end up like the Third Kazekage—

That wouldn't just be a blow to Sunagakure, it would be fatal.

After changing into casual clothes, Yubi quietly left Sunagakure.

And a day later, they arrived at the village's front line deployed along the coast.

He naturally dared not show himself openly, for if the news reached the village, his whereabouts would undoubtedly be discovered by Chiyo and the others.

So—Yubi's brief stop was just to see a few of his students.

The Fourth Shinobi World War had been raging for a year. Compared to the battlefields between the village and Konoha and Iwagakure, the pressure on this battlefield was undoubtedly the least, and Kirigakure had not made any major moves.

However, since it was the Ninja World War, even if the enemy did not send a large force to invade, the size of Kirigakure's military force was still considerable compared to the harassment during peacetime.

Moreover, the defensive forces that Sunagakure has deployed here are mostly "newcomers" from the village—for them, fighting against Kirigakure is still very dangerous.

In addition, due to the different battlefield environment, the battles between Sunagakure and Kirigakure are mainly characterized by dispersed, high-frequency small-team battles, just like when Yubi led Yekura and others on their training. However, the difficulty and danger level of the battlefield are much higher.

However, thanks to his year of training and guidance, Yecang and the others gained some experience in fighting against Kirigakure, which enabled them to quickly integrate into the tactical system and adapt to the battlefield when they returned to the battlefield.

The village didn't pay much attention to the battle reports from this front.

However, judging from the battle report, among the group, the most outstanding performers were undoubtedly Yekura and Yashamaru.

Sakamoto and Fukushima Taki are also good.

At least it didn't tarnish the reputation of teacher Yubi.

At night, a small team from Sunagakure hid in a pile of rocks protruding from the Gobi Desert. This area was one of the routes that Kirigakure liked to sneak into the Land of Wind, and it was also a frequent battleground between Sunagakure and Kirigakure.

Right now, this ten-person team has to conduct reconnaissance while defending against any sudden actions by the Fog Shadows, and land in advance.

There was some space inside the pile of rocks, where two Sand Villagers stood guard, while the other eight took the opportunity to rest.

The night's wind and sand carried a chill, seeping into the pile of stones through the cracks and brushing against the bodies of the group.

They all looked exhausted, clearly having been on a mission for some time without returning to their base to rest.

Yecang leaned against the stone surface, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

Suddenly, without warning, she felt a weight on her body as something was added to her.

She opened her eyes instantly, instinctively grabbed the object, and her body tensed up momentarily.

After she saw what was in her hand, her expression suddenly froze.

Then—a gleam of joy appeared in his eyes.

She recognized this item all too well; it was the exquisite kunai she had given to Yubi years ago.

After realizing what was happening, she immediately stood up and looked outside the pile of stones. Not far away, she saw a familiar figure standing there, waving at her.

At such close range, the two teammates on guard duty were completely unaware.

"What's wrong?"

One of the Sand Village guards noticed Yekura's sudden movement and asked her a question.

I'm going out for a bit.

Yecang gave a perfunctory answer.

Then, he woke up Yashamaru and the other two, saying, "You all come too."

"what?"

Sakamoto, with drool still dripping from the corner of his mouth, was completely bewildered.

"Hurry up, stop dawdling."

Ye Cang urged him on in a cold voice.

The four of them then left together.

Seeing this, Yubi rushed off into the distance.
