The countless paper spikes and spears that were ready to go, seemed to have received a signal, turning into a white torrent of death, accurately and violently facing the overwhelming black iron thorn jungle!
The white spear of judgment and the black thorn of death are about to stage an extremely devastating collision over this desert!
At that critical moment——
"Wha—!"
A bunch of white shadows swooped down from high altitude at extremely fast speeds! It turned out to be a small white clay flying dragon, only the size of a person!
It was like a suicide attack, inserted with incomparable precision into the center of the secret that Konan and Scorpion were about to collide!
This sudden change made the two people who were originally focused on the duel suddenly startled. In this brief moment of confusion——
Only a clear and sharp shout came from above. "Drink!"
"Boom——!!!"
There was a huge explosion! That little clay flying dragon exploded brazenly at the midpoint between the two attacks! The violent shock waves and chaotic airflow it generated spread out in all directions, forcibly blocking the two people's secret attacks that were ready to go off.
Konan's torrent of paper spears was slightly deflected by the blast of air. Scorpion's Iron Sand World Order was also disturbed by the sudden explosion, and countless sharp iron thorns trembled in the air.
The attack of the two men was not directly broken up by the explosion, but because of the unexpected interference and variables, they unanimously chose to temporarily suspend it - it was obvious that a third party had intervened!
Konan's face instantly became solemn, the paper wings suspended in the air folded slightly, his eyes glanced at Fang Yan who heard the explosion, and an extremely bad premonition surged in his heart.
At the same time, a shout with the unique arrogance and excitement of a young man came from above.
"Hahaha! How about it! My super face art! Art is Explosions!"
Along with this iconic slogan, a C2 Clay Dragon, which was dozens of times larger than the self-destructing dragon just now, slowly lowered its height, casting a huge shadow on the sand. Immediately afterwards, several figures jumped off the dragon's back and landed steadily on the desert.
It was Shisui's group who came at full speed after hearing the fierce fighting.
Deidara took the lead, with an undisguised excitement and provocative smile on his face. He first glanced at Third Kazekage Puppet, the scorpion, and shouted to Shisui behind him.
"Hey! Senior! It's really a puppet! It seems our target has appeared! Hmm!"
Then, he immediately turned his head and shouted loudly to Konan suspended in the air without any courtesy, with a tone unique to young people, arrogant and fearless.
"Hey! Woman over there! Listen up! This puppet guy is the first target of our [Jhin] organization! We can't let you kill him casually! Hmm!"
Obviously, because he is still young, Deidara at this time is far less... relatively calm than when he joined Akatsuki in the future, and his acting style is more direct and... aggressive.
Konan's face turned completely gloomy. The mysterious [Jin] organization, which had similar goals to the [Akatsuki] organization but had a completely different process, appeared at this moment!
Previously, when they learned that Kakuzu, a bounty hunter known for his "immortality", had completely left the underground bounty market and was no longer engaged in any bounty tasks, it became clear to Konan and Nagato that another force was secretly recruiting powerful, yet dangerous and unruly rebels.
This forced the [Dawn] organization to speed up the originally secretive recruitment process.
However, she never expected that just when they had just received information about Sasori of the Red Sand on the first day of Land of Wind's appearance, or even just the initial information, people from the [Jhin] organization would appear here so quickly, like sharks smelling blood.
To be honest, Konan deep down does not want to confront the [Jhin] organization head-on. Just the [Great Spiraling Ring] hovering in the sky outside Konoha, which could easily destroy a village, was enough for her and Nagato to raise their assessment of the strength and danger of their leader [Menma] to the highest level.
It is really not worth it to set up such a terrifying enemy for Nagato just for the sake of Sasori of the Red Sand who has not yet been recruited.
Just when Konan was thinking about quitting and was weighing whether to give up on this mission temporarily——
Shisui on the other side was shocked inside at this moment! Staring at the red-haired figure and the puppet beside him that exuded ominous waves.
That red-haired boy... Judging from his appearance, he is about the same age as me! Even if Sasori of the Red Sand is a genius and was young when he defected, there is no way he can still look like this young man after so many years! What the hell is going on?
Of course, what shocked Shisui was not just Xie's strange young appearance.
More importantly - the well-made Human Puppet next to Scorpion! That puppet's face... is Sand Village's Third Kazekage!
Regarding Third Kazekage, the sudden disappearance of this person known as "the strongest Kazekage in history" has always been a major unsolved mystery shrouding the entire Ninja World, and its impact has been far-reaching.
It is precisely because of the strange disappearance of this most powerful leader that Sand Village fell into huge panic and chaos. The first thing they suspected was that other major powers - especially the most powerful Land of Fire - planned this assassination with the intention of completely weakening Land of Wind's combat power.
Suspicion, panic, as well as the long-standing conflicts between countries and the imbalance of resource allocation were finally completely ignited by this incident!
The trace of Third Kazekage became the most direct trigger for detonating Third Shinobi World War!
The tragic war that swept across the entire Ninja World claimed countless lives and completely changed the fate of many people, including Shisui himself.
And now... Shisui saw it clearly just now! The ability used by that puppet to control the black Iron Sand - that is the unique and powerful Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai of Third Kazekage!
All the clues are connected at this moment, pointing to a horrifying truth.
Third Kazekage was not missing... but killed!
He was killed by the young-looking Sasori of the Red Sand in front of him...! And... it was also made into Human Puppet for him to drive?!
The impact of this knowledge made even Shisui Uchiha, who had experienced countless battlefields, feel a chill down his spine.
