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

Chapter 198 The Growing Team

Orochimaru's laboratory.

Is she awake?

Qianyao rushed over after receiving the news.

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses: "Yes, Lord Senyou, her brain activity is gradually increasing."

"He has regained consciousness, but is currently asleep."

Qianyao felt a sense of utter despair when he saw the high-tech equipment in front of the hospital bed.

When the Thousand Yao clone traversed the Land of Fire, many towns only had basic electric lights, and other electrical equipment was scarce.

These top-of-the-line medical devices seem to be ahead of their time.

However, the differences in many parts of the world are indeed that great.

Qianyao nudged Ying.

Ying slowly opened her eyes, but they were lifeless and unfocused.

Qianyao was not in a hurry, but waited patiently.

After a few minutes, Ying's gaze slowly focused.

She gradually came to her senses: "Who are you? Where is this? Where is my grandfather?"

Chiyo's eyes darted around: "I am Uchiha Chiyo, the head of the Uchiha clan. This is our Uchiha clan territory."

“The servant is dead.”

Ying's face suddenly turned pale, and she tried to get out of bed, but Qian Yao pressed her down with one hand.

"Where are you going?" Qian Yao asked forcefully, pressing Ying down so she couldn't move.

"Let me go! You bad person! I need to find Grandpa!"

Qianyao first held Ying down, and then the tomoe of his Sharingan began to slowly rotate.

"Why are you and the Traveler of Service here?"

Ying said blankly, "My grandfather and I were caught at home and brought here."

"later……"

"And then I knew nothing more."

After Ying explained the whole story, Qianyao continued the hypnosis:

"The messenger has already sacrificed himself, and before he died, he entrusted me to take care of you."

“My name is Uchiha Chiyo, and I am your family.”

Ying murmured repeatedly, "Uchiha Chiyo, my family..." and then slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Let her stay here with you one more night tonight. I'll take her to school tomorrow. You can tell Rin to arrange accommodation."

"Yes, Lord Chiyo," Kabuto replied.

Qianyao brought Ying back mainly to find out why she was in Konoha.

He has an omniscient perspective and knows that the Tsuchigumo clan and the Third Hokage have a secret agreement.

The secret agreement roughly means that the warriors of the Tsuchigumo clan are old and can no longer fight, and there are no more skilled warriors in the clan.

He can ban the secret techniques, but Konoha must ensure their safety.

This secret agreement was likely known only to the Third Hokage.

According to the original timeline, it would be nine years later that Hotaru's secluded location would be revealed due to the Six-Tails, Utakata, and the bounty hunter.

The current Danzo probably doesn't know this.

After all, if Danzo had known, he would have gone to arrest him long ago.

The secret techniques of the Earth Spider Clan are incredibly powerful; a technique capable of easily leveling an entire village is extremely rare.

Whether the Third Hokage coveted this secret technique, Chiyo didn't know.

Because in the original timeline, when En no Gyoja died, the Third Hokage had already died long before.

Now that Danzo has actually captured this grandfather and grandson, Chiyo strongly suspects that it's the Third Hokage's doing again.

After all, this was clearly an act of using Danzo as a pawn.

Danzo, who liked to take unconventional approaches, probably didn't expect things to go so wrong this time.

The traveler had a trick up his sleeve.

Based on Ying's description and Qianyao's combination with the original timeline plot, it is very likely that the Traveler transferred this secret seal to Ying.

Then, using Ying's body, they forcibly caused an explosion.

The current warrior must have been killed by this secret technique.

The kind where no remains were ever found.

Qianyao had just used illusion hypnosis, partly because children are hard to soothe, and partly to test the waters.

Can hypnotizing someone with ordinary illusion magic provide them with a bond?

When they looked, there wasn't a single hair.

It seems we still have to wait for Kotoamatsukami to cool down, but Orochimaru is already as busy as a spinning top.

Chiyo felt embarrassed to give Orochimaru any more assignments.

……

next day

Uchiha clan.

Chiyo, who usually doesn't go to school in the morning, made an exception today and got up to take Sasuke, Karin, and Gaara to school.

"Let me introduce you. This is Kimimaro, this is Shiro, and this is Ying."

"From now on, they will also be members of our Uchiha clan."

Sasuke looked at the three people with some curiosity. Where did Master find these three people?

"This is Sasuke, this is Karin, and this is Gaara."

"You are all the same, you all belong to the Uchiha clan."

"Ying has just left her family, Karin, you need to take good care of her."

Although Ying was hypnotized by Qianyao and believed that Qianyao was her family, Qianyao did not change the fact that the Ensembler was dead.

So his overall mental state was very poor, his eyes were dull, and he was somewhat timid about everything around him.

Karin had also suffered hardships in the past, and seeing Ying's condition, she knew that Ying had probably lost a relative, so she couldn't help but go over and take Ying's little hand.

"Don't be afraid, Ying, we're partners from now on."

"Master is a very kind person, no one will bully you."

Ying felt the kindness emanating from Karin and couldn't help but nod with tears welling up in her eyes.

Karin patted Ying's hand, then took Bai's hand.

The pale-faced man was startled and stepped aside.

Karin's reaction was also somewhat puzzling: "Did I scare you?"

Bai shook his head: "No."

Bai then asked, "Are you Lord Qianyao's disciple?"

Karin flashed a big smile: "Yes, Sasuke and I are too."

Sasuke, who had been sizing up Kimimaro, showed a proud expression upon hearing this.

Haku and Kimimaro wore expressions of envy.

Qianyao waved his hand: "Now that we know each other, let's hurry up and leave, or we'll be late."

"Haku and Kimimaro, you two were taught by me along the way, so you are also my disciples."

"You can call me Master if you want."

Haku and Kimimaro wore happy smiles.

Sasuke was the only one who was very dissatisfied. He had to perform the apprenticeship ceremony and serve tea before he could call Chiyo "Master".

It seems like no one else uses it.

Then he puffed up his face into the shape of a steamed bun.

Haku and Kimimaro saw that Senyou's words didn't seem to matter, and they didn't change their tune:

"We understand, Lord Qianyao."

Qianyao poked Sasuke's puffed-up cheek with one finger:

"What are you angry about? They are older than you. When they get serious, you have to call them senior brothers."

Sasuke was even more displeased upon hearing this:

"No way! I was the first one to enter the sect, I want to be the senior brother, I want to be the elder brother!"

Qian Yao chuckled to himself, it seemed Sasuke was still quite attached to his "brother".

"Hurry up, don't waste time."

Chiyo reached out and tapped Sasuke on the head.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Everyone's faces lit up with smiles as the group headed towards the Ninja Academy.

Gaara's eyes were also very gentle. He had gotten used to this kind of life, although he didn't know why the people of Sunagakure didn't come looking for him.

But this is undoubtedly good news.

Because he likes it here.
