4. Sakura Stabbed by Sasori’s Sword

In the midst of the fierce battle between Lady Chiyo’s ten puppets and Sasori’s hundred puppets, Sakura followed Lady Chiyo’s command to throw a seal at Sasori’s body. Sakura successfully attacked Sasori with the seal, making it appear as though he had been defeated and causing all of Sasori’s puppets to stop operating.

However, unbeknownst to Lady Chiyo and Sakura, before his main body was sealed, Sasori had transferred his life core into another puppet. That puppet had now become his new main body.

Sasori then attempted to stab Lady Chiyo in the back while she was off guard with his sword. But Sakura quickly intercepted the sword with her own body. Though Lady Chiyo was saved, Sakura was impaled by Sasori’s sword, which pierced right through her.

Despite Lady Chiyo immediately injecting an antidote into Sakura’s body, the sword had struck a vital point that should have been fatal even without the poison. As Sakura struggled to pull the sword out of her body, Sasori prepared to strike again with a second sword to finish her off, as she was unable to move.

However, Sasori failed to anticipate Lady Chiyo’s movements. She collapsed next to Sakura, appearing weak and defenseless. Using the last of her strength, Lady Chiyo controlled the Parent and Child puppets with her chakra threads and stabbed two swords directly into Sasori’s life core, ending him for good.

Once again, Sakura survived thanks to extraordinary luck. She wasn’t poisoned by Sasori’s sword because Lady Chiyo had saved the last dose of antidote for her. Moreover, she avoided the second sword strike because Lady Chiyo had finished off Sasori in time.

However, the stab wound from Sasori’s sword, which struck a vital point, should have killed Sakura. But Sakura’s fortune was truly exceptional, as Lady Chiyo was the only person capable of using the rare Healing Reincarnation Technique, which ultimately saved Sakura’s life.

Are you a Sakura hater? Just admit it! You must’ve felt annoyed seeing Lady Chiyo’s rare healing ability save Sakura from death. But remember, as humans, we should help each other—yes, even Sakura included!
