Chapter 435 Sasori of the Red Sand Resurrects and Joins the Fray

"Let you go? I never said that." Aburame Shisei said, his smile fading.

Upon hearing this, Granny Chiyo's cloudy eyes widened instantly. "You've gone back on your word."

She struggled fiercely, trying to break free from the shackles of reincarnation, but the invisible force firmly imprisoned her soul, making her unable to move an inch.

"I have completely imparted the art of reincarnation to you; is this your credibility?"

Oil Girl Zhicheng didn't care about her opinion, he simply raised his hands and formed a hand seal: "Hai—Xu—You—Shen—Wei..."

"Spiritual communication!"

With a low shout, a coffin slowly rose from the ground, and a red-haired youth emerged from it.

He had a handsome and refined appearance, and looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. He was none other than Sasori of the Red Sand.

It turns out he was already in a state of impurity.

Sasori whispered, "Impure World Reincarnation... Every time I see it, I'm reminded of how utterly defeated my puppetry technique was."

He looked at Aburame Shichika and asked, "Why did you call me out?"

Aburame Shisei stated bluntly, "I value talent highly. Sasori of the Red Sand, I'm very interested in your abilities. How about joining my ranks?"

Scorpion looked up expressionlessly: "I was once your enemy, and you trust me that much?"

"I don't trust anyone; I only believe in my own abilities."

Aburame Shisei pointed to Granny Chiyo beside him, "How about this? You join, and she's yours."

Granny Chiyo immediately retorted, "Using someone else's soul as leverage, that's despicable!"

"Scorpion, don't listen to him! This man is fickle and has a wicked heart..."

"Grandma, you're already dead," Sasori interrupted her. "Besides, in this ninja world, who has a truly righteous heart?"

Grandma Chiyo was stumped by the question.

Indeed, no one has the right to say that.

"Could you give me some time? I want to have a good talk with the old woman." Scorpion didn't refuse, nor did he immediately join in; instead, he made the request first.

Without a second thought, Aburame Shicheng nodded in agreement, turned and walked out of the room, leaving them plenty of space.

Soon after, Shisei Aburame sensed a reanimated body slipping out of his control, but he did not stop it, instead letting it roam free.

Inside the room, Granny Chiyo's impure world form began to crumble, her soul gradually faded, and she slowly rose into the air.

No one knows what Sasori of the Red Sand said, but Granny Chiyo reconciled with herself and let go of her worldly attachments.

"Scorpion, live well." These were the last words Granny Chiyo left behind. Then her body transformed into countless points of light, slowly rising into the air, and finally disappearing.

Scorpion stood still, watching his grandmother's soul depart.

Aburame Shisei entered the room, not disturbing him, but waiting quietly. After a long while, he said, "Do you need me to resurrect your parents?"

"It's no longer needed." Sasori of the Red Sand raised his head.

He has no intention of resurrecting his parents, because he no longer has that obsession.

"Some things are regrettable, and what's past is past. Even a broken mirror, even if pieced back together, may not be whole again. It's better to let it remain in the beautiful memories."

Aburame Shisei laughed, "You're quite open-minded. But my Impure World Reincarnation body doesn't provide strength, so you can't work like this."

The rhinoceros beetle Sheng Yang was summoned again. Seeing that he had to revive someone else, he was speechless. But since the other party was his master, he could only obediently contribute his life power.

Aburame Shisei began to use the Reincarnation Technique to completely revive Sasori of the Red Sand.

Soon after, Sasori's body returned to its normal color. The teenager stood naked before Shisei Aburame, his pale orange eyes finally regaining some color.

At this moment, Sasori, who had been fully resurrected, broke free from his puppet body, regained his human form, and also regained his human emotions.

He nodded to Aburame Shisei and thanked her, saying, "Thank you!"

He looked at the ninja vest that Aburame Shisei handed him, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, he walked past him to the storeroom, found a white coat inside, and put it on.

Then he pulled out a pair of non-prescription glasses from somewhere and put them on.

He used a transformation ninjutsu to change the color of his hair to black.

Scorpion pushed up his glasses and said, "An ordinary researcher. From now on, my name is Akakumo."

That's right, he's ready to abandon his past identity and change his name.

After his death, he discovered that his puppetry still had flaws, and that the techniques and theories could be improved and upgraded.

So he prepared to create a universal regenerative core—a device that could generate its own flesh and blood, thus achieving permanent immortality.

At that time, the physical body will be merely the puppet's outer shell, while the omnipotent core will be the true essence.

Because the body can regenerate infinitely, there is no need to worry about the drawback of being unable to move after losing the puppet body; and the advantage of having a body is that one can retain emotions forever.

After listening, Aburame Shisei seemed to understand something: "You mean, hide the main body inside the core and wrap it with regenerated flesh and blood?"

"Exactly." Sasori nodded. "That way, even if the body is destroyed, the core can regenerate. So I only need to make the core indestructible, at least in the ninja world, almost no matter can destroy it."

Aburame Shisei nodded and said, "It's a good idea. It reminds me of the Taoist Golden Elixir. However, it's very difficult to achieve an indestructible effect. It's hard to find such materials in the ninja world."

However, this made him think of something else: the Seeking the Dao Jade.

How can one integrate all their essence, energy, and spirit into the Seeking the Dao Jade? Then every inch of the Seeking the Dao Jade would be equivalent to oneself.

"Golden Core?" This was the first time Red Sand Scorpion had ever heard of such a thing.

"It's something from Taoist legends. Practitioners concentrate the essence of their entire body into a single elixir. As long as the elixir exists, the person lives; if the elixir is destroyed, the person dies," explained Aburame Zhicheng.

"Actually, you could consider combining Yin-Yang Escape with Sage Techniques, fusing and forging them into an indestructible Truth-Seeking Ball. Perhaps that could meet your requirements."

Of course, opinions are one thing, but the actual implementation still depends on him, but there is enough room for experimental equipment and funding.

Red Sand Scorpion felt his mind had been opened up.

The creations of Yin-Yang Release also reminded him of something else: Black Zetsu.

Nothing in the world is indestructible, so what if we could refine such a thing into something that could be turned into a liquid?

Of course, he doesn't intend to become Black Zetsu, nor does he deign to become Black Zetsu, but he can borrow some of the concepts from it.

"The creation of Yin and Yang? It seems I still have a lot to learn." Sasori gently pushed up his glasses, looking quite like a scholar at this moment.

However, the current basic disciplines are very poor, and it will take at least several years of study to make up for them.
