Kakashi: Yang Seal Form
After returning to Ninshu, Nagato first sought out Mu Yue to make his report.
Once Mu Yue confirmed there were no issues, Nagato brought Sasori to Mu Yue's study.
Mu Yue did not immediately begin speaking with Sasori. Instead, he first set down his book and gestured for the two of them to sit.
Sasori also used this opportunity to examine this newly risen legend of the Land of Rain.
Although he had participated in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, Sasori had never paid attention to Sōsuke.
This was only Sasori's second time meeting Sōsuke at close range. The first had been in prison.
Perhaps because they were in a study, Sōsuke did not feel like a battle-hardened legendary ninja to Sasori. Instead, he seemed more like a teacher who studied literature.
Of course, Sasori did not dare underestimate Sōsuke.
Sōsuke's reputation had not been exaggerated. Even a renowned powerhouse like Hanzo, leading an elite force, had failed to gain any advantage against him.
In a direct battle, even using the Third Kazekage's Human Puppet, Sasori was not confident he could defeat such a powerful opponent.
Only the Chakra core of the Third Kazekage's Human Puppet remains. That matter shouldn't have been exposed. Sasori thought of the Sealing Jutsu scrolls that had been confiscated.
Sasori was somewhat relieved. If he had not abandoned the Third Kazekage puppet body during the final battle, his current situation might have been even worse.
If word spread that he had assassinated the Third Kazekage, it would bring Sasori nothing but harm.
Sunagakure would no longer spare Chiyo's feelings. They would hunt him down and issue a wanted notice.
Sasori might not have cared in the past, but now that he wanted revenge, he did not want any unnecessary complications.
