That day, Naruto coincidentally met Hinata, and later had a delightful conversation with Gaara. Sasuke, on his end, wasn't idle either.
After finishing his day's training, he went to see Kimimaro, who was close to death. Due to Karin's abilities, Kimimaro had been kept near Sasuke's training location so Karin could prolong his life. However, Kimimaro suffered from a Bloodline Limit Disease, which Karin couldn't indefinitely sustain, and his life was now nearing its end.
In a dark underground room, a person lay on a hospital bed, tubes covering his entire body, and many sealing tags marked with 'Seal' and 'Suppress' covered him.
Sasuke held deep admiration for this person. Sasuke's use of even half of his Lightning Release: Kirin against Kimimaro showed just how much he admired him.
The Uchiha are a clan of love, and Sasuke, hailing from this clan, possessed a unique ability: he was fueled by love. The deeper his love, the greater the power generated, yet he felt no spark for women. In his early days, he didn't have many techniques; his Great Fireball Jutsu rarely hit anyone, leaving him to rely solely on Chidori.
Later, with more techniques at his disposal, Sasuke could choose which to use. In the original story, when fighting women like Mei Terumī and Kaguya, Sasuke didn't even bother with Chidori. Yet, against his deeply beloved elder brother, he unleashed Lightning Release: Kirin. And when it came to his true beloved, the Crown Prince, the power generated was even greater. Kirin wasn't enough; one single Indra's Arrow made Mother Earth's scalp tingle.
Sasuke didn't want Kimimaro to die now. He had defeated him once, but now he was dying from illness. Even if defeated by Naruto, Sasuke didn't believe he would lose to him his entire life; someday he would surpass him. But this person… he seemed to have no chance to fight him again. This feeling of being defeated by someone and having no opportunity for a rematch, to carry a perpetual defeat, was unacceptable to the fiercely proud Sasuke.
So, he wanted to try if Kimimaro could pull through, even if it was just for one more fight. While he could use Edo Tensei to defeat him again, those reanimated couldn't even fully unleash their strength from when they were alive, let alone grow. Such a thing, in Sasuke's eyes, was as ridiculous as his twenty-year-old self defeating a five-year-old Naruto; it was meaningless beyond psychological comfort.
"You're dying," Sasuke said flatly.
"Cough, mhm, thanks… for… cough… coming to see me…"
"I know someone with a better healing ability than Karin."
Sasuke wasn't referring to Tsunade but Naruto. As a healer whose restorative powers were simply overwhelming, Naruto's healing ability was incomparable to Karin, who was only A-rank. Sasuke had experienced it firsthand and knew for sure.
"I still have some of his chakra left in me. Although I don't know if it will have the same healing effect after mixing with my chakra, I hope it can help you hold on until Orochimaru finds a way to cure you."
This was chakra Sasuke had held back to suppress his Cursed Seal, never mobilizing it. It wasn't much, and it was slowly dissipating, unable to last long. Perhaps the Sasuke of the past wouldn't have done such a thing, but the current Sasuke, having spent years with Naruto, had been influenced and changed somewhat. For instance, Naruto's phrase, 'trying won't kill you,' was the reason Sasuke did this. It was a counter-intuitive approach: you're already dying, so why not give it a try?
Sasuke continued, "It's his chakra you're using. If you pull through, you'll owe him. He likes ninja blades, whether whole or fragments; he's still missing four."
"If you die…" Sasuke didn't want to continue, because that wouldn't concern Kimimaro anymore. If you die, it'll be up to me, who borrowed his chakra.
Sasuke did all the talking, saying a lot, which was uncharacteristic for him. However, he didn't expect a dying man to have Naruto's comprehension. For his brain not to be in complete chaos was already good enough.
As Sasuke mobilized the mixed chakra and injected it into Kimimaro's body, Kimimaro began to stir. His eyes snapped open, his legs stretched out, he twitched a few times, then went still.
"Beep..."
The electrocardiogram flatlined.
Karin, responsible for monitoring him, heard the sound and rushed through the door: "He's dead?"
Sasuke's mouth twitched: "Possibly."
The remaining two members of Team 7 were also busy with their respective matters.
Kakashi Hatake, renowned as Konoha's top technical ninja globally, found a ceaseless stream of assigned missions landing on him after he stopped leading a squad. He was busy leaving the village for missions every day. Konoha only had one such technical ninja; who else would they assign? So, among Team 7, only empty-nest Sakura-bro remained in Konoha.
Sakura, who had been studying with Tsunade and looking through material for some time, felt ashamed today for her past naive thoughts. To think she had imagined aliens and transformations! They were called Jinchuriki! They were called Cursed Seals! Sakura, who had almost guessed the truth, found her mind once again constrained by this world's limited imagination.
The next day, Naruto, who had chatted late with Gaara yesterday, woke up a bit late. The reinforcement of the Mo Xie Treasure Brick was also complete. It was now Mo Xie Treasure Brick +1.
"Let's depart as early as possible today," Jiraiya said, holding the green crystal. He felt that if Gaara came to talk one more time, he would practically steal this child away.
"Mhm…" Naruto replied, his face buried in a bucket of water.
"Why isn't this thing working anymore?" Jiraiya asked. He had fiddled with the green crystal all night yesterday, but Idu remained motionless, greatly disappointing him.
Huh, is my VR machine broken?
Naruto looked up, wiping his face: "Why don't you try hitting it?"
As Jiraiya pondered how to hit Idu, Naruto fastened a harness to himself. Just as he was about to set off, dragging the Treasure Brick, he saw Gaara approaching again with his elder sister and second elder brother.
You're really going to play the 'three visits to the thatched cottage' with me, aren't you?
"I guessed you'd be leaving today, so I came to see you off."
As long as you're not here to ask me about the state of the world.
"Mhm, we're leaving." Naruto extended his right hand.
Gaara grasped it in return. "Next time you feel it's about to come out, come find me. I'll beat it until it meows like a cat." Naruto remembered Shukaku comparing himself to a turtle very clearly, even if he didn't write it down in a grudge book.
"Mhm."
"Well then, goodbye."
"Goodbye," Gaara waved farewell.
Watching Naruto drag the iron brick away, Kankuro mumbled, "What a strange guy."
"Let's go," Gaara said deeply. He was going back to try planting things using Naruto's methods. Just as Naruto had told him, it didn't cost anything, so it was worth a try. Planting cacti in the desert truly cost nothing.
This time, the master and disciple didn't follow the dog. This husky, a breed from Siberia, was as wilted as could be in the desert. All along the way, Shùnfēng kept hugging ice and panting.
The scorching sun in the desert was blinding. The master and disciple covered their eyes with black cloth, leaving only a small opening. After drinking a cup of ice water to cool down and moisten their throats, Jiraiya said, "Today, Mount Myōboku will use Reverse Summoning to call us over. You should find a place to settle them first."
"Can I bring them later then?" Naruto asked. Regardless of where Mount Myōboku was, as long as it was a space, his teleportation gate could be used.
"Others, yes, but not him," Jiraiya said, pointing at Shùnfēng, who was panting.
"Why?" Does Mount Myōboku forbid keeping huskies?
"I'm afraid he'll bite the little toads to death." Jiraiya had to admit defeat to this dog; it wanted to bite anything it saw, too young and unruly, biting without restraint.
