Sasori: Mainly because your mother really was captivating, like a work of art!

Hateful!

Might Guy felt his head starting to spin and he was starting to feel faint.

It was precisely because of his health problems.

Kakashi was momentarily distracted.

The scorpion narrowed its eyes, and the Puppets in front of it instantly moved forward!

Just as the Puppets's weapon was about to pierce Kakashi, a large shield made entirely of sand appeared in front of Kakashi.

"Shukaku Shield".

"Bang--!"

The Puppets's swords broke apart instantly upon striking Shukaku Shield, unable to penetrate even a fraction of an inch!

Kakashi immediately stopped his Lightning Cutter when he saw the Sand Shield suddenly appear before him.

"This is the power of the Tailed Beast..."

Scorpion muttered softly.

He glanced again at Gaara, who had red hair just like him.

At this moment, Gaara crossed his arms over his chest, looking coldly at Sasori of the Red Sands.

In terms of Illusionary Ninjutsu, Gaara than Uchiha Sasuke.

"Kakashi, take Guy to the village and find an Chiyo woman named Chiyo. She's skilled in poisons and also knows a lot about antidotes."

Kakashi glanced at the broken swords and weapons before him, then looked back at the struggling Might Guy.

He nodded. "I understand."

He went to Might Guy's side and helped him up.

"Kakashi, we're here to support Sunagakure. We have a mission... Don't worry about me, I can handle this little bit of poison."

Might Guy forced a smile.

But even with his mouth wide open this time, his signature Flash teeth were nowhere to be seen.

Scorpion's eyes narrowed slightly.

Normally, anyone poisoned by him would be lying on the ground convulsing instantly, and would meet their great-grandmother within minutes.

"This freak with thick eyebrows and extraordinary Taijutsu has physical abilities far beyond those of ordinary people; he can even withstand my poison for so long."

The scorpion muttered to itself.

"Don't push yourself. If you don't treat it soon, your little acorn might get even smaller."

Little acorn!

Upon hearing that word, Might Guy immediately stood up straight.

"Kakashi, my best friend! Please help me get healed! And could we please not mention that again?"

Kakashi gave an "OK" sign, put one arm around Gai's shoulder, and walked towards the village.

Just then, a gray figure arrived from afar.

The attention of several people was immediately drawn to it.

"What... what kind of creature is this?"

Scorpion squinted at the newcomer.

The other party was entirely gray, had extremely long hair, and a pair of strange wings growing from its back.

Gaara, but he quickly recognized the other person as Uchiha Sasuke from the facial features.

He still remembered this guy who could break through his Absolute Defense.

"Kakashi...?"

Uchiha Sasuke watched Kakashi help Might Guy walk into the village, feeling slightly puzzled.

Weren't they here to provide support? Why were they carried away so quickly?

He came to observe and learn, but by the time he arrived, Kakashi's team seemed to have already finished. So what could he possibly learn?

Watch Gaara fight the opponent?

He felt contempt for him.

He had absolutely no interest in this guy who had almost been defeated by him during the Chunin exam.

Although he knew that the other person had become the Fifth Kazekage, his impression of him remained from that period.

He considered himself a genius.

If even a genius has improved so little, how much improvement can someone Gaara possibly make?

"Hmph, just like Naruto! They all rely on the Monster inside their bodies to take shortcuts! Without external forces, they're nothing!"

Sasuke inwardly grumbled.

But if we disregard external forces, Sasuke would probably still be on his way.

Sasori quickly looked away from Sasuke.

The other party didn't seem like a threat at all, which made them seem rather intimidating.

Of course, he didn't have the Byakugan or anything that could sense the other person's Chakra level, but his intuition from years of fighting told him that the guy who suddenly appeared in front of him wasn't strong.

What are you doing here?

Gaara's gaze was fixed on Sasori, but he addressed Sasuke with a question.

"It's none of your business to tell me what to do."

Sasuke said coldly.

Gaara: "..."

If he really wanted to manage it, he really could.

If someone from another village comes to Sunagakure and tries to show off in front of the Kazekage, it wouldn't be a big problem for the Kazekage to take him down, especially since the other party is just a Genin.

It's just unnecessary.

Kakashi and Might Guy had just arrived to support him, and then he turned around and took down the opponent's student; it was somewhat inappropriate, no matter how you looked at it.

Gaara's main reason for asking was that Sasuke's appearance would definitely affect his performance.

If Sasori were to attack Sasuke, given the alliance between Sunagakure and Konoha Village, the Kazekage couldn't possibly stand by Standing by and Doing Nothing.

This could easily put you at a disadvantage.

After all, besides being Puppet Master, the other party was also a genius in the use of poison.

Poison is something that will either kill or cripple you.

He silently covered his body with another layer of Sand Armor.

"Looks like these junk won't be able to break through your defenses."

Scorpion immediately recalled the remaining hundred Puppets in the sky.

He then took out a new scroll.

"Scorpion, Grandmother Chiyo has been missing you a lot. Don't you want to go see her?"

Chiyo is Sasori's grandmother.

Scorpion did not pause in opening the scroll.

"Bang."

A plume of white smoke rose and then dissipated.

Suddenly, a man dressed in a black robe appeared before them!

"This is—" Gaara's expression changed drastically when he saw the other person's face clearly.

"The Third Kazekage!"

He had seen this man in a photo in the Kazekage's Office; it was clearly the Third Kazekage who had been turned into Human Puppet by Sasori.

"You wouldn't believe it, would you? Not only did I turn myself into Human Puppet, but I also turned the Third Kazekage, whom I killed, into Human Puppet as well."

Sasori's Chakra Threads instantly extended to the Third Kazekage.

"Besides their strong bodies, the Human Puppet also possess the power they had in life, including their Kekkei Genkai!"

"Do you know what this means? It means that once someone is turned into Human Puppet by me, they not only gain immortality but also have their abilities amplified in my hands."

Sasori smiled and looked at Gaara.

"What a pity. If you weren't Tailed Beast Host, I might have turned you into Human Puppet too, so I could see what drives you to protect you even after your mother's death."

"You're asking for it."

Gaara's gaze was cold, and his anger was clearly written on his face.

"No, no, no, it's mainly because your mom is truly captivating. Don't you think your mom's love perfectly embodies Eternal Art?"

The scorpion's eyes gleamed.

"Die!"

Gaara, his face contorted with rage, unleashed his spear and charged straight at his opponent!

Just then, the Third Kazekage, the Human Puppet in front of Scorpion, suddenly looked up and his hands moved like machines, rapidly Hand Seals.

"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle"

In an instant, black Iron Sand, resembling ocean waves, appeared out of thin air behind him!
