"Lord Hyuga Sho... Lord Kazekage is currently meeting with His Highness the Daimyo..."
Sasori's subordinate, Yura, immediately stepped forward and reported to Hyuga Sho.
His eyes, loyal to Sasori, did not waver in the slightest.
It was clear that Sasori was quite capable.
Though he had become an Elite Jonin of the Land of Wind, he had still chosen to betray his village.
Interesting.
"The Daimyo of the Land of Wind came this time to reduce the military budget again..."
However, that was not the main point.
"The Daimyo of the Land of Wind hired a ninja from who knows where, someone highly skilled at financial calculations..."
Yura described the ninja's appearance.
It was Kakuzu.
"Interesting..."
The Akatsuki Organization had infiltrated the Daimyo's entourage.
Were they planning to use the opportunity to help the Daimyo audit his finances, then abduct Gaara?
Not a bad plan.
"Sasori, how are things on your end?"
Hyuga Sho looked toward Sasori.
"It's already done..."
The suppressed tone of Sasori's voice revealed his nervousness.
He had obtained his parents' remains.
Now he could... use Impure World Reincarnation to summon them.
Of course, that would have to wait until this mission was complete.
"No problems on my end either..."
Shin said with a smile.
"We can make a move against Sunagakure or the Daimyo of the Land of Wind at any time!"
He raised his one arm and clenched his hand into a claw.
Shin believed that Hyuga Sho was someone who accomplished great things.
This operation proved that his judgment had been completely correct.
"Good."
Hyuga Sho nodded.
They prepared to charge straight into the Kazekage Building.
They would drag Kakuzu out.
They would catch him completely off guard.
However...
"Are we really just going to charge into the Kazekage Building like this..."
