Pakura: Whoever Invades Sunagakure's Territory, I Shall Strike Down

"Although this is the territory of the Land of Wind, it's still quite a distance from Sunagakure," Pakura said after surveying the surroundings.

Most people would be completely disoriented if they suddenly found themselves in the desert, but thankfully, Pakura Sunagakure.

They were quite familiar with the surrounding desert, so they weren't likely to be unable to find their way out.

Just as Pakura was heading to Konoha with the child version of Itachi, coincidentally, the Akatsuki's art duo also chose the same direction.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will meet soon.

At this moment, Deidara kept complaining about Orochimaru's defection, even though Orochimaru's defection actually made him Sasori's ally.

Sasori was quite satisfied with Deidara; he really disliked Orochimaru.

He always wanted to make him his hundredth puppet, and thinking of this, Sasori, hidden in Hiruko, rarely showed an excited expression.

Just then, Orochimaru defected, giving us a chance to strike him. As for Deidara standing to the side...

Sorry, Scorpion wasn't paying attention to what this guy was saying; he'd never met anyone so talkative.

"But, Big Brother Sasori, the sandstorms in this Land of Wind are too intense!" Deidara complained again about the environment.

If you don't wear protective gear while walking in the desert, you'll be covered in dust long ago.

"By the way, is there anything wrong with that bag you're carrying? The enemy is One-Tail Jinchuriki." Sasori then shifted the topic to the current operation.

The task assigned by the leader cannot be taken lightly, especially since the main force this time is Deidara. Sasori has some doubts about whether this talkative guy can handle it.

After all, the other side was also a Kage from a different country, and he still didn't want Deidara to die here.

After all, he was one of the few people I could find pleasing to the eye.

Of course, it would be even better if he didn't mention his pretentious art.

"All my Ninjutsu is art! And I've brought out my trump card," Deidara said confidently.

He then opened his backpack and stroked the Explosive Clay inside.

Forget it, I don't care about him. Scorpion just silently led the way for him.

They had been walking for three whole days and still hadn't left the desert. Now Deidara was starting to wonder if Big Brother Sasori had led them astray, and whether he should grab a local and ask them.

"This is so troublesome. I can't just fly in," Deidara lamented. He clearly had a better method, but he couldn't use it to avoid being detected by the enemy. It was truly frustrating.

"Don't worry, once we get to Sunagakure, you can do whatever you want without any problem!" Sasori offered a small word of comfort.

"But speaking of which, Big Brother Sasori, how are we going to sneak in later?" Deidara asked again, looking completely clueless.

At this moment, Sasori also began to doubt whether he had told him that he was from Sunagakure. He didn't think he had, no wonder this guy didn't know anything.

I am, after all, a powerful figure known as the "Sasori of the Red Sands," hailed as a genius puppeteer of Sunagakure. I must have a few trusted subordinates in Sunagakure.

It just so happens that one of the checkpoints leading into Sunagakure is one that my subordinates are in charge of.

However, Scorpion was too lazy to explain to him, and they just strolled leisurely through the vast desert.

"Big Brother Sasori, there seem to be two people ahead?" Deidara noticed two figures appearing in front of him.

"Ignore them, keep going." It's clear Sasori doesn't want to reveal their location now, after all, they're about to wreak havoc in Sunagakure. (Scorpion watches from the sidelines, leading the way, while Deidara takes action.)

If we make too much noise, we won't be able to ambush the Kazekage.

"Hey, you two over there, how do I get to Sunagakure?" Deidara, bored out of his mind, walked over, and for some reason, he felt a little dizzy as soon as he saw the figures in front of him.

I'm playing the role of a ruthless and vicious killer right now. If I see anyone I don't like, I'll kill them.

To this day, we still don't know what impression Uchiha Itachi left in Deidara's mind, which caused Deidara to become suddenly displeased upon seeing the figure of child Itachi in the distance.

"I'm talking about you, you exhibitionist! And that little brat too."

"Exhibitionist?" Pakura was clearly confused as to why the other person was talking about her. Although she usually liked to wear backless dresses, it was because that was the weather in Sunagakure.

No one in Sunagakure has ever dared to call themselves an exhibitionist! Not even that bastard Rasa would dare to call himself that.

After all, he is Shinobi who has mastered the Kekkei Genkai "Scorch Release". Although he is usually very gentle with his disciples, that is because he treats his family and friends. If he treats his enemies, you can see whether the name "Scorch Release Pakura" is just for show.

At this moment, Pakura turned around and saw a boy who didn't look very old, and a hunchbacked monster.

But Pakura stared intently at them, because he recognized the person in front of him as Ōnoki's apprentice, who had been on the list before.

Deidara, and he's even wearing Akatsuki's clothes. It seems I can help Ōnoki fulfill his dream of training his apprentice.

Sasori was also in a real bind. Was Deidara truly stupid or just pretending? Did he really not know that he was from Sunagakure?

Why did he have to cause such a mess for himself? But then Scorpion looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.

"???"

What the heck? Did I get up early today? How come I suddenly saw that woman, Pakura?

Scorpion was utterly shocked. He had personally investigated Pakura's death, and at that time, the body was completely dead.

When Pakura died, I really didn't want to believe it. Even though I had already defected, I really couldn't believe that Sunagakure would do such a thing.

I never expected to see that woman, Pakura, standing in front of me today, and is that her son next to her?

At this moment, Scorpion fell into deep thought. Could it be that Pakura faked her death to recuperate after childbirth? That shouldn't be possible. What kind of logic is this?

"Deidara, I advise you not to mess with this woman." Sasori didn't understand what had happened, but he knew it was best not to provoke her.

This makes the infiltration mission a bit troublesome; it seems the Sunagakure already knew their purpose.

"Hmph, Big Brother Sasori, let me show you my art." Deidara slowly took out clay from his pocket and sculpted it into the shape of a spider.

"Drink!"

Countless small spiders rushed up, just as they were about to climb onto Pakura's body.

"Scorch Release: Over-Steam Killing!"

A fireball suddenly appeared around Pakura, and Deidara's clay bomb was instantly melted upon contact with the flames.
