"My god! What kind of heaven-defying ninjutsu is this?!"
"A life for a life?! She actually brought a dead man back?!"
"Granny Chiyo of Sunagakure really kept this under wraps! Who could have imagined she had a forbidden technique that could reverse life and death!"
"This is unbelievable! Sacrificing your own life to revive someone else-this technique turns everything we know about ninjutsu upside down!"
Countless people exclaimed in astonishment, their understanding of the Shinobi World's hidden depths completely transformed.
Until then, everyone had known that Medical Ninjutsu could heal injuries and save lives, but they had never known there was a terrifying secret technique that could reverse death itself, sacrificing its user to resurrect someone else!
Never mind the other villages-even the people of Sunagakure were dumbfounded. They hadn't known either.
Rasa even began wondering whether it would be difficult to learn. If it was easy, he could have some trustworthy people with little talent learn it, allowing the village's elite to fight without holding back.
Some people suddenly understood the bond between Naruto and Gaara.
"Now I finally understand! No wonder Gaara listened to Naruto for the rest of his life afterward and trusted him unconditionally!"
"When the whole world abandoned him, feared him, and used him, only Naruto traveled all that way and risked everything, even his own life, to save him!"
"They were both lonely jinchūriki who understood each other's suffering and saved each other. No other bond could compare!"
Every Sunagakure ninja saw how Gaara, brought back to life after that ordeal, had fought with everything he had to protect their village.
The Sunagakure villagers and ninja who had once dreaded him, feared him, and shunned him finally cast aside all their prejudice.
They saw clearly that their Kazekage had never been the village's monster.
