The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 521 Special Medicine

Just now, if Kisame Hoshigaki had been even slightly slower, or if he had been more greedy, the Raikage would probably have arrived at the scene.

Fortunately, Kisame Hoshigaki was very efficient and decisively retreated after detecting the signal, thus avoiding being caught by the Raikage.

Now that Kisame Hoshigaki has absorbed the chakra stored in Samehada, he has fully recovered.

Although some physical strength was consumed in the process, there were no other major problems.

Meanwhile, Samehada, having feasted on a large amount of chakra, was excited and kept yelling loudly.

Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't understand what it was yelling about at all.

But from Samehada's cheerful tone, it was clear that he was in a very good mood at the moment!

When Konan and her group returned, Kisame and Kakuzu were startled.

They knew it just by glancing at Sasori and Deidara.

—Those guys from Hidden Cloud Village are definitely not easy to mess with.

Deidara, in particular, looked like he was about to die.

"We don't even have a single medical ninja here, Konan."

With just a quick glance, Kakuzu accurately assessed Deidara's current precarious situation.

Given the current situation, even if there were medical ninjas present to provide assistance, it would be difficult to save them.

Saving Deidara's life would be an impossible task.

However, he didn't mean to be sarcastic when he said these words; he was actually giving Xiao Nan a well-intentioned warning.

However, Xiao Nan seemed not to hear what he said.

She swiftly placed Deidara gently on the ground, then vanished in a flash.

He rushed to the wall inside and pressed himself firmly against it.

With a slight sound, the once smooth and even wall began to peel off layer by layer.

Before long, Konan's ninja tool pouch, which had been hidden behind it, was revealed.

Xiao Nan carefully took out a small, exquisite bottle from inside.

Just then, Deidara's heartbeat suddenly slowed down without warning, like a candle flame about to go out.

"Xiao Nan! Hurry up!"

Scorpion urged anxiously, this was the first time he had ever been so excited for a stranger.

Konan, however, remained calm and walked towards Deidara with the bottle in her hand.

She gently pried open Deidara's tightly closed lips and slowly poured the liquid from the bottle into his mouth.

Then, she pinched Deidara's mouth with her hand and gently pulled it down to his chin.

With a "gulp," Deidara swallowed the mysterious liquid.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Deidara, waiting for what would happen next.

Sure enough, just a few seconds later, Deidara's heartbeat, which was originally so weak that it was almost imperceptible, began to gradually strengthen and slowly return to normal.

Seeing this, Kakuzu and Sasori stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the seemingly ordinary bottle in Konan's hand.

They asked in unison:

"What on earth is this thing!?"

Faced with their questioning and curious inquiries, Xiao Nan simply shook the bottle in her hand lightly and replied calmly:

"It's just a common first-aid medication."

However, only she knew in her heart that the bottle contained not some ordinary emergency medicine, but the invaluable water of life.

But she would never easily reveal this secret to others.

Kakuzu, standing to the side, seemed quite sensible. Seeing that Konan was unwilling to say more, he did not continue to ask.

After all, he already possessed an extraordinary physique, and ordinary medicines had no effect on him whatsoever.

So even if he didn't know what was in the bottle, it didn't have much of an impact on him.

"Alright, don't worry. He just needs to rest for a while and he'll be fully recovered."

Xiao Nan comforted Scorpion.

Indeed, Deidara's injuries were caused by overexertion.

This "water of life" happens to be a specific and effective medicine for this type of illness, which is why it can exert such remarkable therapeutic effects in such a short period of time.

Deidara was now breathing steadily and had fallen into a deep sleep.

After Sasori saw that Deidara was safe and sound, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

After relaxing, Scorpion also needs to get back to his own things.

He took out a storage scroll from his pocket and opened it, revealing a dazzling array of puppet parts and exquisite tools.

Afterward, Scorpion focused intently on repairing itself.

As a puppeteer, he felt very insecure when his puppets broke down.

Not only was Sasori's own body damaged, but the Third Kazekage's body was also half melted by Dust Release.

Fortunately, the Third Kazekage's core was in his upper body, otherwise the Third Kazekage's puppet would have been useless.

Meanwhile, Kisame was also a bit tired after the big battle, and he leaned lazily against the wall on one side.

She casually stroked the unique ornament hanging on her sharkskin, her eyes slightly narrowed, entering a brief state of rest.

"So, shall we continue with this action?"

Kakuzu turned his gaze to Konan beside him and asked her a question.

It should be noted that although each of their attacks inflicted heavy damage on the Cloud Village.

But all of this was achieved at the cost of sacrificing our precious intelligence resources and powerful combat capabilities!

Xiao Nan's side has already used up a lot of the explosive tags she brought;

Meanwhile, Sasori's prized Hundred Machine Manipulation Technique was also largely lost.

Even the most powerful Third Kazekage puppet is now only half its original size.

As for Kakuzu himself, he lost three hearts.

Not to mention the life-or-death crisis Deidara just experienced; if Konan hadn't been prepared, Deidara probably wouldn't have made it.

Only Kisame Hoshigaki in the team is currently in relatively good condition thanks to the amazing abilities of Samehada.

Upon hearing Kakuzu's question, Konan gently shook her head and replied:

"Don't worry, our Akatsuki organization never does anything that loses money."

"Although this operation came at a considerable cost, it has already achieved its goal of dragging the Hidden Cloud Village into such a difficult situation."

If I go again, I'm afraid I won't come back alive.

Kakuzu paused for a moment: "Konoha is 100% guaranteed to win, right?"

Konan nodded slightly: "Konoha's strength far exceeds your imagination."
