In fact, Zhang Miao hoped that Chiyu and young Ebizo would stay behind, because they would stay in contact with their real counterpart of this world and help Zhang Miao gather the corresponding fragments.
Now that Zhang Miao had obtained the Shinigami Mask, and to refine the Shinigami Mask, he needed a lot of 7-star Kage-level Ninja Fragments. Chiyo belonged to 7-star Kage-level category and was in line with Zhang Miao's requirements.
But even so, Zhang Miao was not willing to force Chiyo, because to him, Chiyo was also a very important relative in this world.
As if guessing Zhang Miao's thoughts, just as his voice fell, Chiyo immediately laughed.
"Let them stay. If Little Ryu doesn't need their strength, let them stay and accompany me, this old woman!"
"Okay!" Chiyo's request was exactly what Zhang Miao wanted, so he immediately nodded, "Then let them stay. As for Pakura..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Miao looked back at Pakura who was standing behind him, and found that the latter was looking at him with expectation.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.
"Then Big Sis Pakura, you can continue to follow me!"
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Pakura revealed a happy expression, and nodded hard at the same time, "Yes, Your Holiness!"
Seeing her happy appearance, Zhang Miao could not help but reveal a smile, and then turned to look at Chiyo again.
"Granny, then I'll be leaving. It'll be dark soon. It's better to travel at night!"
Chiyo seemed to have expected Zhang Miao to say this, so as soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, she immediately nodded.
"Yeah, go, be careful on the road!" .
"I will!"
Zhang Miao agreed and got up to walk forward, but he only took a few steps before he stopped. Then he turned to look at Chiyo with a complicated expression.
"Actually... Granny, I really am not Sasori's son, but I have always treated you as my own grandmother, so I never thought of lying to you. It's just... I'm really sorry!"
After saying that, Zhang Miao did not wait for Chiyo to speak and directly used the Body Flicker to disappear.
Seeing this scene, Pakura quickly bowed to Chiyo and then used the Body Flicker to chase after Zhang Miao.
After the two of them disappeared, Chiyo shook her head with a smile.
"Silly child, of course you are not Sasori's son. In fact, Granny has already noticed it!"
Chiyo's voice was very soft, as if she was talking to herself, but no matter how loud her voice was, Zhang Miao could not hear it.
At this time, Zhang Miao was very agitated. In order to get rid of this feeling, he ran at full speed, seemingly intending to let the wind brought by his running blow away the haze in his heart.
After running for about two or three hours, when night fell, Zhang Miao felt a little better when he felt the cool breeze.
So he stopped and shouted toward the sky.
"Why am I so strong? There is no one in the world who can defeat me. I am so lonely. Why am I so handsome? Making so many women crazy for me… I am under great pressure! These are not what I want. I just want to be an ordinary person. Is it so difficult? Why? Why? Why? Aaaaaaaaaaa!"
Just as Zhang Miao finished shouting, the system's voice rang out in his mind.
"[Ding! Congratulations boss, you have made this system feel fear of being dominated by narcissism. The system present you with its latest gift: Invincible Sunglasses'. May my lord walk the path of narcissism until the end!]"
As the system's voice fell, a pair of sunglasses appeared in Zhang Miao's hand. Seeing it, Zhang Miao immediately showed a face of surprise.
"Eh? Is this Invincible Sunglasses? What's the use? Can you see other people's fighting strength like the glasses in the Dragon Ball?"
"[Unfortunately, it can't!]"
Just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system's sound rang out in his mind once more.
"[However, it can protect the boss when he walks in the desert during the day!]".
Zhang Miao: "…"
"Damn, isn't this just an ordinary sunglasses?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao couldn't help but roll his eyes.
However, after being interrupted by the system, the unhappiness in his heart dissipated a lot. After taking a few deep breaths, he opened his mouth again.
"Phew, I don't want to run anymore. System, help me take out the ninja fragments needed to recruit Gaara. I remember that I have gathered enough of them, right?"
"[Yes, boss!]"
Just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system's voice rang out again. At the same time, a pile of shiny Ninja Fragments appeared on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao immediately grinned, then bit his finger and began to quickly form seals.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Zhang Miao shouted, and at the same time, he pressed his bloody palm on the Ninja Fragments on the ground. When his hand touched them, the Ninja Fragments on the ground instantly turned into a burst of white smoke with a bang.
When the white smoke dissipated, a man with a slender figure, a gourd-shaped face, a three-quarter hairstyle, and the character "love" engraved on his forehead appeared in front of Zhang Miao.
Seeing this person, Zhang Miao's mouth could not help but twitch a few times.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that the one I recruited was actually an adult version of Gaara. And why is this guy growing more and more depressed? He is not as cute as when he was young!"
As soon as Zhang Miao thought of this, the system notification immediately rang out.
"[Ding! Congratulations to boss for recruiting 7-star Kage-level Gaara, and obtaining his Chakra reserve. Because this Ninja belongs to the high-endurance ninja category, the boss has the specialty - Staying Up Late! With this specialty, you won't feel sleepy even if you don't sleep for ten years! ]"
Zhang Miao: "…"
"Damn it, I'm not a masochist!"
Thinking of this, the corner of Zhang Miao's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. "System, don't be sillyy. Quickly help me open Gaara's specialty list!"
"[Yes, opening the list…"]
Following the system notification, Gaara's specialty list appeared in front of Zhang Miao in the form of a display screen.
[Option 1:]
[Sand Control: The power of Shukaku. Enables the host to manipulate sand to attack and defend. Although its power can not be compared to the real one, it is not far from it. ]
[Note: We are sand pros!]
[Option 2]:
[Shield of Sand*: The power of the Karura. Using the sand to create the strongest defense against the opponent's attack. Once activated, there is no need to control it. The sand will automatically defend against all attacks. The speed is related to the user's reaction speed]
[Note: The power of a mother's love is beyond words. ]
[Option 3:]
[Dark eye circles: A darker and more eye-catching eyebags. Will never fade even if washed with water!]
[Note: With it, you will become different and obtain a little shade of cuteness.]
Zhang Miao: "... "
"Damn it, what a useless specialty!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao no longer hesitated and directly pointed to the second option. The system prompt responded.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the specialty 'Shield of Sand"'. The host can activate or deactivate this ability according to his needs.
Hearing the system prompt, Zhang Miao immediately grinned.
"This is the one I want!"
