"What's wrong, Big Brother Sasori?" Deidara, who was walking, suddenly noticed that Sasori had stopped.
"I really didn't expect anyone to follow us!" As soon as Scorpion finished speaking, a figure rushed over.
Sasori glanced back once and let Deidara go first, catching up a few minutes later.
Kankuro was furious when he saw that the others were ignoring him.
"Crows, Black Ant, Ibuse!" Kankuro summoned his signature puppets from his Summoning Scroll.
At this moment, Scorpion's gaze towards the puppets changed slightly.
Kankuro, thinking the other was scared, shouted again, "I'll say it one more time, give Gaara back!"
To everyone's surprise, Deidara completely ignored his presence, and after saying goodbye to Big Brother Sasori, he boarded his giant clay bird.
"Don't even think about running away!" Kankuro swung his puppets and charged towards Deidara, who was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, in mid-air, it was pierced by a scorpion tail made of steel that extended from the demon face-shaped hole on Hiruko's back.
"I hate waiting for others, and I hate being waited for!" Sasori's gaze was fixed on Kankuro.
At this moment, Kankuro's prized Crows puppet was casually killed by Sasori, who treated it like a fly.
Deidara, standing high above, said, "I remember this Jinchūriki had several brothers, one of whom played with puppets and was called Kanhachiro, no, it was Kanjuchi again."
At this moment, Deidara's tone angered Kankuro again; the other party clearly didn't take him seriously.
But for Deidara, who are you trying to hook up with? Why should I even bother with you?
Kankuro then manipulated another puppet to charge at Deidara.
"Smack!"
It looks like the scorpion has killed another fly.
Watching Deidara's departing figure, Kankuro grew even angrier. "You little brat, you don't take me seriously, do you? I'll show you what the greatest puppeteer in the Genin world is about to do."
"Black Ants!"
The Black Ant that had been lying on the ground suddenly sprang up and swallowed the scorpion whole.
"Secret Technique: One Shot, One Kill!"
After the scorpion was inserted into its body, the Black Ant's countless legs began to transform into sharp blades, relentlessly Black Ant into its abdomen.
After doing all that, Kankuro a wicked smile, "Now you can't escape, can you?"
When Kankuro manipulated the Black Ant to open its belly, he discovered that the original scorpion had suddenly turned into a ball of sand.
"Sand Clone!"
At this moment, Sasori accurately discovered the weaknesses of several of Kankuro's puppets, and it seemed that Sasori knew his puppets better than he did. What was going on?
Wow, that's amazing! I never imagined you could play with a few broken puppets like that.
I remember making these broken puppets when I was a kid because nobody else had any to play with. I never imagined that more than ten years later, people would still be using them.
Didn't I throw it away as trash a long time ago? How come this junk is still here?
At this point, Scorpion didn't want to waste any more time with this garbage collector. Fighting against such trash Tenten would only make him trash too.
After stabling Kankuro with his tail stinger, Sasori began preparing to leave. Without his own antidote, Kankuro was destined to live no more than three days.
Let's give this guy a chance to live.
Sasori then left the area of Sunagakure.
Little did they know that at that moment, a voice suddenly echoed in the minds of the people participating in the instance.
[Ding! The Land of Wind instance is complete. The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, has been rescued!]
It turned out that while the two were fighting, Obito and the others, led by young Itachi, had already found the place where the Akatsuki were preparing to strip the Tailed Beasts.
You asked how young Itachi knew the location where Gaara was stripped of his Tailed Beast, and Itachi from Akatsuki replied, "I have no idea."
Even though they arrived just in time, it was already too late; the Akatsuki had already used the Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals Technique. (In the original story, it required ten people to use it, but since Sasori wasn't there, I changed it myself. Please don't mind the change; the dungeon ended quickly.)
They also successfully extracted the One-Tail from Gaara's body. Gaara was already severely injured after fighting Deidara, and after the One-Tail was extracted, he was on the verge of death.
Meanwhile, the Akatsuki successfully retreated after achieving their goals. As for the critically injured Gaara, they didn't care; they were only concerned with killing him, not burying him.
At this moment, Naruto looked at Gaara, who was on the verge of death, and felt as if something was binding his heart. They were so similar, and Gaara was about to become a great man.
But why, why did this have to happen to Gaara?
After hearing about Gaara's plight Obito silently lowered his head, feeling deep regret for such a person.
But they were ultimately too late.
"By the way, Obito, could your Akatsuki clothes revive Gaara?" Kakashi suddenly thought of something.
"Oh right, I remember the Akatsuki uniforms can be used for resurrection." Then, Rin hurriedly pulled out the Akatsuki uniform that Obito had given Obito from her scroll.
Lin had never worn this dress before and didn't know how it would look, but now she had no choice but to try it out.
In a hurry, the group put the uniform on Gaara. As time passed, Gaara's life was fading faster and faster, and soon it was almost gone.
"Why isn't it working?" Obito, looking at Gaara's body with concern.
"Where am I?" Suddenly, Gaara, who was on the verge of death, woke up. At this moment, Gaara's memory was still stuck on the moment when he was injured by Deidara.
"Gaara!" Naruto exclaimed with delight, surprised that he could actually save him.
However, at the same time, the system has already determined that Obito and the others have completed their mission, and they will soon be teleported out.
"Naruto, you have to work hard! I'll be waiting for you in the future!" At this moment, Obito didn't know what to say to Naruto, so he could only say a few words and then leave.
At this moment, Gaara also remembered the people in front of him. It seemed that the person who looked like his father was right; they had all traveled here from the future.
"Oh, right, this is what your mother wanted to give you." At this moment, Itachi pulled out a cactus plant and an envelope addressed to his future son from somewhere.
Itachi didn't understand why a cactus would be chosen as a gift, which was also due to his lack of knowledge about the terrain of the Land of Wind.
Karura wanted her son to have the character of a cactus—unyielding and persistent.
This perhaps embodies a mother's expectations for her son.
But if you ask why Itachi is holding the gift Karura gave to Gaara, Itachi can only say, "I picked it up after I killed your father."
