Chapter 699: A New Member?
In the sky
As she flew closer and closer to the battlefield, she was soon able to perceive the exact situation on the battlefield, and seeing the ones present there, she muttered with a thoughtful expression under the mask, “It turns out that the ones fighting are Anbu from the village and the members of the Akatsuki Organization.” And added with disappointment, “This also means that Shimura Danzo is not here but in the Land of the Waterfall… A pity.”
Having understood this, she looked in the direction of the battlefield.
Although Konoha has a numeric advantage, however, they are firmly suppressed by the members of the Akatsuki Organization, although Kakashi’s use of Flying Raijin has improved significantly and he can use it very smoothly in battle, however, in the face of DMS Obito who is going all out, it’s not doing him any good, Kakashi has to spend all his energy and attention to resist and fight back Obito, there is no time or energy to pay attention to other Konoha Anbu.
Itachi is doing his best to keep Tobi occupied, of course, Itachi hasn’t revealed his Susano’o and Amaterasu, but other than that he is using everything, and he is able to hold off Tobi, who is definitely the third strongest in the current Akatsuki Organization. Being able to keep him occupied without revealing too much is already more than enough.
As for the rest? They are not Sasori’s opponents. Sasori alone is reaping their lives one by one using his puppets.
Noting that the situation on Konoha’s end is getting worse by the second, and finding that her former subordinates are in danger, she couldn’t sit still, ‘These guys… they really know how to cause me trouble. If they keep this up, they will be the death of me.’ Although she said so with a helpless expression, however, her expression was extremely serious and she speeded up.
…
On the battlefield
Standing on the back of the flying Summon, the puppet––this time the Patriarch of the Yuki Clan capable of using Ice Release Kekkei Genkai––condensed a Spear made up of ice and thrust it towards Rabbit’s head.
At the same time, another puppet––the Patriarch of the Kaguya Clan––on the ground suppressed Akame, Hana as well as the other Anbu.
Just when everyone felt that Rabbit is going to die, both puppets came to an abrupt stop. The reason being, at this moment, that the puppeteer’s; that is Sasori’s attention was attracted towards the giant white bird that was rapidly approaching them, “It doesn’t seem to be someone we already know, but, that particular cloak, and that mask with a different pattern yet similar style… no doubt about it, a member of Amatsukami!”
In today’s shinobi world, if there is anyone who can attract the unilateral attention of the Akatsuki Organization, then it is undoubtedly Amatsukami. Therefore, the moment Sasori discovered someone who is very likely to be a member of Amatsukami, he no longer paid attention to the Konoha Anbu around him, instead, he jumped on the back of the Summon Bird, kicked down the injured Rabbit, and sealed the two puppets inside their scroll.
During this whole process, his eyes never left the giant white bird flying towards them and the person standing on its back.
Seeing Sasori’s actions, Zetsu, who has been hidden up until now revealed half of his body, and questioned Sasori, “What are you doing?”
Sasori answered without looking at him, “I will capture him.”
Zetsu hesitated a little, and said, “The other party seems to be a member of Amatsukami, although he appears to be a new member, wouldn’t it be a little careless to face him alone?”
Sasori chuckled, “Don’t worry… I think I can handle it this time, I have long wanted to make a puppet out of members of Amatsukami.”
After leaving such words, Sasori didn’t wait for Zetsu’s reply, he controlled the summon bird to fly towards the opposite giant white bird.
Seeing Sasori coming toward her, she was taken aback but soon calmed down then with a wicked smirk on her face she quickly turned around and ran.
“Want to run?” Sasori scowled, “Do you think I will allow you to run away?!” and speeded up.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
And so, a running and chasing battle between the Summon Bird and the Explosive clay bird began in the sky.
The slight speed of both the birds was extremely fast, and before anyone could realize it, the two birds were already quite far away from the battlefield.
Standing on top of the Explosive Clay bird, she looked back with a frowned expression, and seeing that the summon bird was rapidly closing in, she couldn’t help but think, “Hiruko is dead, this summon bird was artificially created by Hiruko, who would have thought that even after his death, there is still someone who can control this bird to such an extent.”
The chase continued on for a while, and as the separation between the two was getting less and less, she was also able to clearly see the playful smirk on Sasori’s face, “You can run all you want, but you’d never be able to escape!” and instructed the bird to fire explosive feathers towards the explosive clay bird.
Whiish! Whiish! Whiish! Whiish!
The speed of the explosive feathers was so fast that the clay bird had no opportunity to dodge the attack, leaving her with no other choice but to abandon the explosive clay bird and jump off of it, “Tch.”
Boom! Boom! Boom! BOOOOOOM!
As soon as she jumped off the Explosive Clay bird, a series of small explosions occurred due to the explosive feathers followed by the massive explosion of the Clay bird.
Looking at the massive explosion in the sky, she couldn’t help but be regretful, but before she had the opportunity to take a breath a giant shadow appeared above her head. She quickly looked above and found the Summon Bird floating just a few meters above her.
Sasori also jumped from the Summon bird, and landed not far away from her, he observed her mask and cloak for a few seconds before asking, “Who are you?”
She patted the dust on her body, and replied absentmindedly, “I am Dojin from Amatsukami.”
“Dojin… it’s really as I thought, you are a new member with a new code.” Sasori muttered, then said, “Unfortunately for you, you will become the first member of Amatsukami to die in battle and become part of my collection, but you don’t have to worry all that much, the other members of your organization will be joining you soon enough.”
“Don’t be so sure…” Dojin retorted, “Maybe the result is something else, the one who ends up dying maybe you not me.”
Sasori covered his face with his hand and laughed loudly, “You know, you may have covered your body with cloak and mask of Amatsukami… but, with that peculiar Jutsu that you use do you really think that I don’t recognize you?!”
