Before the flood, Kakashi and his group were suppressing Sasori in a cave.

Just as the group was about to finish off the enemy, they were swept away by the flood.

Normally, one could finish off an enemy in the water, but Scorpion is a strange character; he actually turned his own body into a puppet.

As long as its core remains, it can be resurrected by attaching itself to any puppet.

This resulted in Kakashi and his group only capturing a few puppet shells, without finding the main body containing the core.

"I never imagined Scorpion had gone this far."

After getting ashore, Chiyo sighed.

Immediately afterwards.

Everyone looked up at the location of the Shinki...

They had originally intended to reprimand Shinki, but seeing that Shinki had successfully saved Gaara's body, they had no choice but to give up.

Meanwhile, Shinki had already healed Gaara's skin damage using Medical Ninjutsu.

After that, in order to get a five-star review, the Shinki began to think about how to revive Gala...

Whenever Secret Technique involving resurrection are involved, there is one crucial point.

Life is equal.

In other words, to revive one life, you must sacrifice another.

Just like the Impure World Reincarnation, even if it's not the original body that's resurrected, a living Sacrifice is still required...

"Hiss..."

Shinki began to face a dilemma.

He hasn't reached the point where he'd sacrifice himself for a five-star review.

On the other side, Chiyo and Kakashi's group gathered around the Shinki, looking at Gaara with his eyes closed...

"Sigh, the Kazekage is so young, and already..." Kakashi said with a regretful expression.

Chiyo Chiyo's eyes flickered.

She is making a difficult decision.

In fact, the Land of Sand once secretly developed a reincarnation Ninjutsu that allows one to share their life force with others using their own Chakra as a medium.

However, if the target of the spell is a deceased person, the caster's Chakra will transform the deceased's soul until the caster dies.

Simply put, it's a life for a life.

"This seems like a good deal."

Thinking it over, Chiyo curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

I've lived enough; I'm about to be buried.

But Kazekage is different; he is young, promising, responsible, and has a strong sense of duty.

Such a child will surely lead Sunagakure to even greater heights in the future.

Thinking of this, Chiyo turned her head to look at Shinki, who was deep in thought.

It would be even better if this child could come to Sunagakure...

A few minutes later, Shinki suddenly slapped his hand, a flash of inspiration striking him. "I've got it!"

At the same time, Chiyo spoke up, "I have a solution!"

Shinki looked at Chiyo: "Granny, you thought of that too?"

Chiyo nodded.

She thought that Shinki also wanted to use Secret Technique to exchange his own life for Gaara's.

Chiyo Chiyo's eyes revealed a kind expression.

(●´৺`●)

This kid, Shinki, is actually willing to give up his young life for Sunagakure and for the peace between the two villages?!

You should know that his talent surpasses Gaara's, enough to make him the envy of the entire Shinobi World!

What a good child!!

There are children like this in the world!

The future of the Shinobi World is full of hope!!

But how could I really let this child do that?!

I'm just an old man; if I die, so be it.

There's no need to sacrifice a young life!

"I'll do it."

Chiyo slowly stepped forward.

Shinki looked at her strangely. "Chiyo, you figured it out too? (‧_‧?)"

Chiyo wore a proud expression.

"Yes, I led the research on the Reincarnation Technique of Sunagakure many years ago."

"The original intention was to use this technique to revive Scorpion's parents, but this technique requires sacrificing one's own life, and once it was developed, it was classified as Forbidden Technique."

"Why..."

As she finished speaking, Chiyo let out a long sigh.

Shinki then realized what was happening.

It seems that Chiyo and I are not the same person.

Shinki immediately explained, "Grandma, I've thought of a technique that can revive Gaara without sacrificing myself."

Chiyo:(´°Δ°`)

"Don't be silly, child. There's no such Ninjutsu in the world."

Shinki remained silent. "Perhaps we can give it a try..."

After saying that, Shinki formed hand seals and created a Wood Release Clone.

He then explained, "The Wood Release Clone is almost identical to the original body; I intend to use it as Sacrifice."

Naruto noticed the blind spot and asked, "But the Shadow Clones don't have life force."

Shinki gave Naruto an approving look. "You're pretty smart, kid. (▿▿)"

After saying that, Shinki pulled out a Gui Gui from somewhere.

"So my idea is to draw the Gui Gui's life force into my Wood Release: Wood Human Clone, and then use the Reincarnation Technique to transfer it into Gaara's body..."

"The most crucial element here is the Wood Release: Wood Human Clone: Wood Release is a form of life, so only the Wood Release: Wood Release: Wood Human Clone can serve as the medium."

"Another point is that, to prevent life exchange from crossing species, Wood Release Clones are used to confuse the Death God..."

"At the same time, during the spell, I will seal myself with Sealing Jutsu to prevent Death God from discovering me..."

?????

Everyone was completely confused.

But it seems pretty awesome!!

Kakashi thought for a moment and then summarized, "So, you're basically giving Gaara the turtle's life force, right?"

Granny Chiyo: "Will this really work? Deceiving the Death God Reaper will have serious consequences..."

Shinki scoffed, "That's exactly what we're trying to fool. How will we know if we don't try? (´∇ノ`*)ノ"

Let's get started.

The Shinki began to arrange Gaara, his Wood Release Clones, and the Gui Gui in a straight line.

He himself, after the three, drew a strange, irregular circle and sat in the middle.

Two minutes later, Shinki, who was ready, formed a complex and intricate hand seal.

Kakashi, standing nearby, roughly counted that the Shinki's hand seals changed more than 130 times!

It seems Death God isn't so easily fooled after all...

The next moment, the hand seal was completed, Shinki formed the 'Yin' seal with his hands, letting out a loud roar!

"Ninja Art!!"

"One Life for One Life Technique!"

Everyone: (ー_ー)!!

What a terrible name!!

The next moment!!

An invisible Chakra enveloped Gaara, the Wood Release: Wood Release: Wood Human Clone, Gui Gui!

Immediately afterwards, the Gui Gui's vitality visibly decreased, and finally it stopped moving altogether...

The life force was concentrated in the Wood Release: Wood Human Clone, and then transferred to Gaara's location...

Suddenly, Shinki felt a chill in front of him!

Open your eyes!

He saw a strange creature wearing a white robe, with horns on its head and purple skin all over its body!

Shinki: ⊙▽⊙

This looks like Death God itself!!

They've really come to inspect?!

Apart from Shinki, the others did not see the Death God, but they felt the air suddenly turn cold!

Everyone began to pray silently.

Hopefully, Shinki will be reliable this time and nothing bad will happen!

Before the Shinki, the purple-faced Death God was scrutinizing the Wood Release: Wood Human Clone...

Half a second later.

It seemed to notice the Shinki and suddenly turned its head!

This Death God has a purple face, fangs, two horns on its head, and a Short Sword in its mouth!

The atmosphere was sinister! Quite terrifying!

Shinki: Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

Although a little scared, Shinki held his breath and remained motionless to avoid being discovered...

A few dozen seconds later, Death God vanished.

Meanwhile, the journey of the Wooden Man to Gaara's life is also drawing to a close!

Gaara's face turned red!!
