Chapter 9: Sandaime Kazekage's Puppet
Chapter 9: Sandaime Kazekage’s Puppet
“Sasori of the Red Sand!?”
Looking at the red-haired man in front of him, Mitsui and Kuroto exclaimed in unison.
The identity of the other party is no stranger to the two who have just experienced the third ninja war.
The Sasori of the Red Sand, a genius puppet master, one of the strongest ninjas of Sand Village, who disappeared along with the disappearance of the Sandaime Kazekage, and was finally classified as an S-Rank missing-nin.
He has appeared on the battlefield many times to collect the corpses of ninjas and has several records of killing the elite Jonin. His strength is so strong that even ninja villages gave up on chasing him. He is a trouble that the five Ninja villages are unwilling to put their hand into.
Sasori stood akimbo with his hands on his hips and chuckles: “Do you recognize me already? Yeah, Konoha ninjas, now that you have had the chance to meet me, please help me try this newly made artwork!”
As he said so, Sasori took out a scroll with ‘three’ written on it.
Bang…
After a burst of white smoke, a puppet appeared in front of Mitsui and Kuroto.
Looking at the black iron sand floating around the human puppet, Mitsui, who was stunned, said tremblingly: “This is Magnetic Dun? San…Sandaime Ka…Kazekage!?”
Kuroto was also very surprised, but he was not surprised by Sandaime Kazekage’s puppet, but by the fact that he encountered such a strong ninja, like Sasori of the Red Sand at such a remote place!
Such terrible luck!
It is difficult for Kuroto to judge exactly what strength Sasori currently possesses, but at the very least he should be above the level of an elite Jonin, he is an enemy that Kuroto can’t deal with anyway at present, so the moment he saw Sasori, he only had one thought left in his mind.
And that’s! ……………. HOW to save his life!?
The man puppet who manipulated the Sandaime Kazekage slowly floated up, while Sasori smiled and said mischievously: “This is my most satisfying work so far, Shinobi’s of Konoha, enjoy my art!”
As soon as Sasori’s voice fell, the iron sand floating around the Sandaime Kazekage’s puppets turned into countless fine needles in the sky and shot like raindrops at Mitsui and Kuroto.
Mitsui flung back while holding three kunai with detonating charms in each hand and shot it towards the sky.
Kuroto, who was slightly behind, hid behind Mitsui and ran backward quickly.
Boom… boom… boom…
The explosion of the six detonating Charms caused a burst of smoke on the Desert.
Seeing that the thrown detonation paper barely blocked the iron needle, Mitsui took a cold glance at Kuroto and then fled towards the outpost without uttering a single word.
Even if you don’t speak anything, will you even run away alone!
That’s just fantastic!
Obviously, Mitsui has finally torn showed his true self and no longer concealed his malice towards Kuroto.
Naturally, Kuroto no longer cared about anything either and fled in another direction.
Watching the two of them flee after putting up just a small resistance, Sasori smiled and jumped to the back of Sandaime Kazekage’s puppets, and then Sandaime Kazekage’s puppet turned the iron sand into two huge iron sand wings through magnet-dun and flew in the direction of Mitsui’s escape. Obviously, the leader Nara Mitsui was Sasori’s first priority.
“He can fly!?”
The corner of his eye swept Sasori, flying with the help of the Sandaime Kazekage’s puppet, and Kuroto heart sank.
In the ninja world, the ability to fly is a huge advantage. Once you encounter a ninja with the ability to fly on the battlefield, you will often fall into an extremely passive situation.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the Kuroto, running on the ground is definitely not as fast as the Sasori flying in the sky.
Suppressing the mixed thoughts, Kuroto calmly observed the movements of Sasori, while secretly analysing his situation.
“I saw Sandaime Kazekage’s puppets, Sasori will definitely not let me go!”
The fact that the Sandaime Kazekage’s corpse was turned into a human puppet by the Sasori should still be a secret, so in order to avoid trouble, Sasori will not let anyone who knows this secret stay alive.
In other words, at the moment when Sasori revealed the Sandaime Kazekage’s puppets, Mitsui and Kuroto were already on the list of targets to be killed.
“The nearest post from here is nearly two and a half hours away, and even if we somehow managed to arrive at the outpost, the stationed ninjas there cannot resist enemies of Sasori’s level. “
‘So simply trying to escape is not an option, I have to find a way to repel Sasori!’
While Kuroto was pondering the countermeasures, he suddenly discovered that Mitsui, who was running as fast as him, suddenly fell to the ground.
“What’s going on!?” After a little shock, Kuroto immediately reacted: “The iron needle just now was poisonous!”
The explosive tag thrown by Mitsui before did block a large number of iron needles, but one or two iron needles still passed through the explosion and scratched Mitsui’s arm.
No matter what happened, neither Mitsui Nara nor Kuroto paid much attention to this fact.
But now seeing Mitsui suddenly fell, Kuroto immediately reacted, and he was also reminded according to the memory of his previous life, Sasori was indeed a master of poison.
Without Mitsui’s resistance, continuing to escape will not only waste physical strength but will only add to the embarrassment, so Kuroto decisively stopped.
Stepping forward while bringing out a kunai, and killing Mitsui who was poisoned and unable to move, Sasori leisurely came to Kuroto and said with a playful smile: “Why, did you give up on escaping?”
Kuroto looked at the Sasori: “I have always been curious, why did you defect? With your strength and status, even if you want to be a Kazekage, it is not impossible, right?”
Unexpecting of the calmness shown by Kuroto, Sasori glanced at him once again, and said with a smile: “Don’t try to buy time, no one can save you.”
As Sasori continued to walk forward, Kuroto continued to speak: “That’s right, you dare to plot even against the ‘Sandaime KazeKage’, known as the strongest KazeKage, how can a mere Sand Village be in your eyes!? Isn’t that the case!?”
Sasori didn’t answer but narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were still full of playfulness, he was really curious about what Kuroto wanted to do while he was trying to borrow time, although curious Sasori still slowly approached Kuroto.
‘Nineteen meters…’
‘Seventeen meters… just two meters more to go…, come on,’
‘Fourteen meters… just a little more,’
On the surface, Kuroto appeared calm, but in his heart, a group of Kuroto silently calculated the distance between himself and Sasori.
Right now, his only chance of winning is to unexpectedly use Rein Wheel Push/Pull to unexpectedly land a heavy impact on Sasori’s body and then use soft fist taijutsu to seal Sasori’s acupoints and stop his chakra flow.
And the current effective range of Rein Wheel is only about 15 meters, so Kuroto must be as close as possible to Sasori.
When Sasori approached a distance of about eleven meters, Kuroto slowly raised his hands.
The Sandaime KazeKage’s puppet connected by the chakra line shining with light blue light quickly floated, and the iron sand surrounding it also turned into iron spears.
Knowing that it was close to the extreme distance, Kuroto no longer hesitated, immediately stretched out his hands, and started Rein Wheel Pull with all his strength!
At the moment Kuroto raised his hand, Sasori, who had already had a rich experience for a long time-fighting, life, and death battles, raised his mouth, and revealed a mocking smile. Then, while the puppet manipulating the Sandaime KazeKage protected his front, he retreated backward.
In the eyes of Sasori, Kuroto’s actions were nothing more than activating a one-hit kill type suicide ninjutsu, he had already encountered this situation many times, and there was nothing to care about.
Being the maker of The Sandaime KazeKage’s Puppet. Sasori couldn’t be more clear of its defence capabilities. Even the A-level ninjutsu can hardly break the iron sand defence of Magnetic Dun, so those ninjas who tried to die with him eventually became part of his collection and nothing more.
“This…!?”
However, what he was expecting to happen did not happen, but on the other hand, the corner of Sasori’s mouth that hadn’t fully grinned suddenly froze.
Accompanied by a huge howling sound, the Sandaime KazeKage’s puppet that stood in front of Sasori was sucked away by a very powerful suction force. This suction force was so strong that it even broke the Chakra line connecting his hands and the Sandaime KazeKage’s puppet in an instant.
And when Kuroto saw that it was not Sasori but the puppet of the Sandaime KazeKage that was pulled by his Rein Wheel Pull, Kuroto was also left speechless!
