"Ugh..."
Gaara unconsciously let out a painful roar.
As Shukaku was extracted from his body, a portion of his life force was pulled out with it.
Kankuro, who had refined Kankuro into a Human Puppet, gained part of Kankuro's memories.
He looked at Gaara.
"Your variant is extremely bloodthirsty. Over the years, the number of shinobi who have died at his hands is at least in the hundreds, and his methods are exceptionally cruel!"
Kankuro opened his mouth and spoke.
After Shukaku was sealed inside Gaara, he also sensed part of Shukaku's memories and gained some understanding of the first half of Gaara's life.
Gaara hesitated, but he soon made up his mind.
"A variant with such a murderous nature and so little humanity... We'd better kill him!"
However, Gaara seemed unable to bring himself to do it, so he left the matter to Kankuro.
Naruto watched the two monsters who had been living people just moments ago, but were now puppets, and couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine.
"All right, now that Shukaku has been sealed inside Gaara, our disguise is basically flawless!"
"Now we just need to find a way to contact people from every village in the Shinobi World. Preferably the Kage. That way, we can catch them all in one net!"
Naruto appeared with the two men at the place where the other two had just disappeared.
When Sasuke saw the two of them arrive, he gave a cold snort and stood up.
"Naruto, you're too slow."
Naruto scratched his head.
"Take it easy! Take it easy!"
"I'm back now, aren't I?"
Naruto walked over and patted Sasuke on the shoulder, then left the two men with their backs to Gaara and Kankuro.
"Play your current roles well. We're leaving!"
