Granny Chiyo stopped the sealing and sealed Shukaku back into Te-kama. In effect, the sealing had failed.
Now, not only would Karura die, but Gaara would die too.
Clutching at any lifeline she could find, Karura grabbed Liao Wu's leg and pleaded weakly, "Please, save my child!"
Rasa summoned Gold Dust, forming a golden wave behind him.
He shouted at Liao Wu, "Uchiha Ryobu, get away from my wife!"
Liao Wu looked at Rasa and smiled. "Rasa, it seems you've already abandoned Karura."
Liao Wu reached toward Karura. Rasa's Gold Dust surged at him, but Liao Wu summoned Susanoo and blocked the attack.
Liao Wu touched Karura's belly and released his Wood Style Chakra to heal her injuries.
Some of the Wood Style Chakra healed Karura's weakness, while the rest replenished Gaara's depleted body after the failed sealing.
"What—"
Granny Chiyo, Ebizo, and Rasa stared at Liao Wu's actions in bewilderment.
They were in the midst of a double shock: first, at the Chakra Giant Liao Wu had summoned, and second, at what he was doing now.
Ebizo looked at Granny Chiyo. "Sister?!"
Granny Chiyo understood. "He's using his own Chakra to save Karura and her child."
"Before Uchiha Ryobu defected from the Leaf Village, he was a Medical Ninja."
"Kazekage, Lady Chiyo, this is our chance!"
Several masked Anbu nearby stopped standing around like machines. They wanted to attack while Liao Wu was treating Karura.
"..."
Rasa still didn't attack.
Was this really a chance? They had driven Karura to her death, while Liao Wu was trying to save her.
Rasa wasn't sure whether the other man was friend or foe anymore.
Wounded, Yashamaru stood before Liao Wu's Susanoo and drew a Kunai, facing off against Rasa, Granny Chiyo, and the others.
Yashamaru finally understood his own heart. Compared
