Chapter 662 Good News
"Gaara! You're finally back!"
The sound came from the very center of Seabuckthorn City.
Haku and Kimimaro stood side by side, their faces beaming with excitement.
The two of them came here to test the corresponding values of the external environment and the distribution of natural energy.
Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Kimimaro has now grown into a handsome young man who is 1.8 meters tall.
Bai, however, seemed to have stopped growing, remaining at a height of 1.6 meters.
However, Bai did not seem to care too much about this.
Gaara leaped lightly from the air, the sand beneath his feet instantly turning into countless grains of sand, which he quickly collected into the gourd behind him.
Looking at his familiar partner, his tense face relaxed slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a rare good mood.
He began by saying, "I have some good news to tell you."
Seeing this, Haku and Kimimaro exchanged a glance and said in unison:
"We also have some good news to tell you!"
Gaara, his face filled with surprise, couldn't help but ask:
"Could it be that the distribution of natural energy here is much higher than in other places?"
Kimimaro, standing to the side, smiled faintly, shook his head slightly, and answered directly without deliberately keeping them in suspense:
"No, it's Lord Qianyao who's back."
Upon hearing this news, Gaara's previously calm face instantly became incredibly expressive, first showing utter shock as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Immediately afterward, the shock transformed into uncontrollable ecstasy, and he even shouted somewhat uncontrollably:
"Really!?"
At this moment, Bai, who had been standing quietly to the side, nodded firmly and said softly:
"That's right, it's really true. Lord Chiyo successfully traveled through space and returned to Konoha this afternoon."
He paused, then explained:
"Lord Minato personally used the Flying Thunder God Technique to come and inform us of this matter."
"However, since you were out on a reconnaissance mission at the time, Lord Minato did not specifically inform you."
Bai continued, "Furthermore, Lord Minato said that he will take us back to Konoha tomorrow morning."
After hearing these words, Gaara began pacing back and forth rapidly. His slightly hurried steps clearly showed that he was still in a state of extreme excitement.
After a while, Gaara stopped, took a deep breath, and slowly said:
"You don't need to wait for me here at all. If you want to see Lord Qianyao sooner, you can go back first."
He knew very well that Haku and Kimimaro also harbored deep feelings of longing for Lord Senyou.
Bai smiled gently and replied:
"Lord Qianyao just returned today, and he must have many matters to attend to."
"Even if we rush back right now, we probably won't be able to help much."
"Why don't we wait until tomorrow to set off together? It's only one more day of waiting anyway."
Finally, he emphasized again, "After all, we're teammates."
Hearing Haku's thoughtful words, Gaara's smile blossomed even brighter.
The warm feeling of being constantly remembered by his friends made him feel especially wonderful.
After regaining his senses, Gaara looked at the two people beside him and said:
“Just now, I discovered that Rasa is completely unable to control Shukaku. In just this month, that tailed beast has gone out of control and gone berserk multiple times.”
Gaara paused briefly at this point, then added:
"Just a short while ago, he went berserk again and destroyed many buildings in Sunagakure."
Upon hearing this, Bai, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly realized what was happening and pondered to himself:
[I see. Now I understand why Gaara was so happy.]
Back when Gaara was still a Jinchūriki, he had to endure Rasa's insults and assassination attempts every day, while also facing the disgusted and fearful gazes of many villagers.
Those days were like a nightmare, one that I would rather not recall.
However, the tables have turned, and the once invincible Rasa has become the jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku, and is equally powerless to control this powerful and violent force.
This means that Gaara will now have to experience all the suffering he endured in the past firsthand.
In this situation, Gaara must have been very happy, and a joyful smile would naturally appear on his face.
At this moment, Kimimaro stepped forward, gently patted Gaara's shoulder, and comforted him:
"Lord Chiyo once said that Shukaku is not very useful. In comparison, you are much more valuable than that tailed beast!"
Gaara, of course, understood what Kimimaro meant, and he nodded with a smile:
"Yes, don't worry, I know."
……
Konoha Village, hot pot restaurant.
Throughout the entire night, everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content, filled with laughter and joy, which further deepened and strengthened their bonds.
As the head of the Uchiha clan, he naturally didn't need to pay the bills himself.
Even before the gathering began, a thoughtful member of the clan had already settled all the expenses for him.
It is worth mentioning that although Chiyo has not appeared for several years, his portrait has always been hanging high above the Hokage Rock.
Moreover, his image was printed on the Konoha coins, so even though he had not yet left the Uchiha clan's territory, he was recognized at a glance by the sharp-eyed clansmen.
To avoid unnecessary trouble and attention, Qianyao deliberately disguised his appearance when he went out.
When others look at his face, they only feel that a hazy shadow covers it, making his true appearance blurry and difficult to recognize.
As night deepened, after the group had finished eating and drinking, they filed out of the hot pot restaurant one after another.
The vast majority of them headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory.
Only Naruto was heading in a completely different direction from the others.
Naruto took Hinata's soft little hand and said goodbye to her earnestly:
"Don't worry, Hinata! Once I learn how to do your hair up, I'll definitely do it beautifully for you myself!"
Upon hearing this, Hinata blushed slightly and lowered her head.
But he still responded to Naruto.
Actually, everyone else present understood the special meaning behind styling their hair, except for the simple and innocent Naruto, who was completely unaware of it.
Finally, Naruto waved and said happily:
"Alright! I'll be going now!"
Naruto ran off in a flurry; he needed to go back and ask his mother why everyone was behaving so strangely about this.
