Chapter 265 - Long Pain is Worse than Short Pain

Under the curious eyes of Pakura and the others, Rasa controlled the gold sand under his feet to soar into the sky and quickly took Zhang Miao away from their line of sight.

On the way back, perhaps to save chakra, Rasa did not travel as fast as before, so it took about an hour and a half to bring Zhang Miao back to Chiyo's residence.

At this time, Chiyo was already waiting at the door. When Zhang Miao jumped down from Rasa's back, she immediately reached out and grabbed Zhang Miao's ear.

"Little Ryu, did you forget something? Hm?"

Now that Zhang Miao's skin was strengthened by the system, he had reached the point where he could not be injured by the bite of his teeth. Of course, Chiyo could not do anything to him with this little bit of strength.

However, since he had nothing better to do, after being grabbed by the ear, he still cried out in a heart-wrenching manner.

"Ow.. ow.. ow... It hurts, hurts,.. Sorry, granny, I forgot to tell you when I went out, but I promise that I won't do it again next time. I swear!"

With that, Zhang Miao also raised his right hand and looked like he was making a vow. Seeing this scene, Chiyo became all smiles.

"Hehe, granny knows that my Little Ryu is the most obedient. In the future, don't be bewitched by others and run over to help. There are so many people in Sunagakure, so there is no need for my Little Ryu to be a hero. Some people are evil!"

As she said this, Chiyo subconsciously glanced at Rasa beside her. When Zhang Miao heard Chiyo's words, he immediately nodded his head like a chicken.

"Yes, I know. Those politicians are not good people. They have a belly full of bad water and their minds are dark!"

Speaking up to this point, Zhang Miao and Chiyo looked at Rasa with vigilance, causing the latter to be confused.

"Damn, no matter how dark I am, I am not as dark as you puppeteers!

Thinking of this, the corner of Rasa's mouth twitched twice, and then he looked at Chiyo solemnly.

"Advisor Chiyo, Ryu is still young. You should pay more attention to the matter of the human puppet. That's all!"

With that, Rasa directly controlled the gold sand under his feet to fly away, leaving Zhang Miao to secretly grit his teeth.

"D * mn, why did Rasa say that? This is troublesome!"

Just as Zhang Miao thought of this, Chiyo's voice rang in his ears.

"Ryu, what is the human puppet the Fourth Kazekage just said about?"

Hearing Chiyo call him "Ryu" instead of "Little Ryu", Zhang Miao knew that she was very convinced at this time, and it was impossible to fool her.

So he could only sigh helplessly.

"Sigh, granny, you know that I really have no interest in puppets. I can't even be bothered to get ordinary puppets, let alone disgusting things like human puppets."

"En, I guessed that too."

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Chiyo nodded her head, her face full of bitterness, "Little Ryu is such a good child, how can he get such a disgusting thing? The only one who can get that is Little Sasori. This is all my fault!"

Chiyo's mood immediately worsen, even her figure stooped a bit.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao hurriedly stepped forward to support her. After thinking for a while, she opened her mouth again.

"That... Grandma, don't mention Sasori's name in front of others in the future. He did something that is impossible to be forgiven by Sunagakure. I don't want to implicate you because of him!"

"Something that is impossible to be forgiven by Sunagakure?"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Chiyo seemed to think of something. Her eyes suddenly widened, "Could it be... that the disappearance of the Third Kagezekage is related to him?"

When the Third Kazekage disappeared, Sasori also disappeared. Although there were some rumors during that time, everyone did not link the two together.

After all, the Third Kazekage had the so-called "Strongest Iron Sand Bloodline Limit", so he was also known as the "Strongest Kazekage" in the past.

Although Sasori was very talented in puppetry, when he disappeared, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, so no one, including Chiyo, suspected that Sasori killed the Third Kazekage. 

But now that Zhang Miao mentioned this matter, and said that "Sasori did something impossible to be forgiven by Sunagakure", the situation was different. Chiyo immediately reminded of the Third Kazekage's matter.

"Little Ryu, Grandma dotes on you the most. Tell Grandma the truth. Did Sasori... Did he killed the Third Kazekage?"

When she said the last few words, Chiyo's voice was trembling. Seeing her like this, Zhang Miao immediately frowned and thought.

"If I tell the truth, Chiyo will definitely be in pain again. If I don't tell the truth, then she will still know the truth of the matter in the future. At that time, the blow will probably be even greater, so it's better to suffer short pain instead of long pain!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao nodded to Chiyo.

"That's right, it was Sasori who killed the Third Kazekage. He has a puppet that can use the Iron Sand. If I guessed correctly, it should be a human puppet made from the Third Kazekage's corpse!"

"Hiss... Is that true?"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Chiyo immediately sucked in a breath of cold air and widened her eyes again. Her expression was full of disbelief. Looking at her gaze, Zhang Miao felt a little unbearable and simply turned his head away.

At this time, Chiyo also knew that the matter was true. She immediately closed her eyes in pain.

"I didn't expect... I didn't expect that the disappearance of the Third Kazekage really had something to do with him, and it was him who did it. All of this is my fault... I am sorry for the Sunagakure, and I am even more sorry for Sasori..."

"It's not like that!"

Looking at the self-blaming Chiyo, Zhang Miao immediately interrupted her words, then stepped forward and hugged him.

"Grandma, you didn't do something wrong. You only did not tell Scorpion the truth of his parents' deaths. Moreover, you are doing this for his own good. He did not grow up to become someone who has always been proud of you. It is his own fault. He is also the one who wronged the Sunagakure. It has nothing to do with you."

At this point, Zhang Miao frowned.

"He betrayed his own village and even killed the Kazekage. This is disloyal. He betrayed his grandmother who raised him and made you sad and disappointed. This is unfilial. This kind of disloyal and unfilial person... This kind of scum and trash, grandma, you don't have to feel guilty for him at all, and you don't have to feel sad for him!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Miao's face was already full of anger. Looking at his angry face, Chiyo's mother-in-law revealed a smile.

"My Little Ryu is really a gentle child!"

With that, she put her face on Zhang Miao's head and then gently patted Zhang Miao's back.

"Granny is not sad. Granny has you. With Little Ryu by her side, granny will be at ease!"

"Granny..." Hearing her words, Zhang Miao also wrapped his arms around her neck. "Don't worry, I will stay by your side and not go anywhere. Alright, let's go home!"

"Yes, let's go home!"
