Recruitment and Temptation!

Kakuzu and Hidan walked straight towards the house where Sasori was hiding, without the slightest hesitation.

Hyuga Shin, on the other hand, went to a hilltop a few hundred meters away from the village, looking down at the unfolding events.

He could detect the presence of the Will of the Six Paths from five kilometers away, let alone now.

The distance of a few hundred meters was no different than standing right in front of him under his divine sense.

As Kakuzu and Hidan continuously approached Sasori's hiding place, Sasori, who was busy inside the house, also seemed to sense something.

He stopped what he was doing, concentrated his mind, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Sasori had not yet transformed himself into a puppet body; he was still a living being with flesh and blood.

"Who's there!" Sasori had already detected the anomaly.

Kakuzu and Hidan, who were about to reach the door, also stopped.

"Sasori, come out! We're here specifically for you!" Kakuzu didn't waste time and stated their purpose directly.

Did the fact that I killed the Third Kazekage get exposed? Sasori couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He then put away the unfinished puppet of the Third Kazekage, slung his large scroll over his back, and opened the door.

No matter what, he had the courage to meet his enemies.

"Who are you! Why do you say you're here specifically for me?"

After opening the door, Sasori looked at the strangely dressed middle-aged man and a young man of similar age outside the door and asked somewhat curiously.

These two didn't look like ninjas from Sunagakure at all. He figured the matter of him killing the Third Kazekage hadn't been exposed.

He was curious how Kakuzu and the other guy found him and what their purpose was.

"This isn't a place to talk. Come with us." Kakuzu glanced at the people occasionally walking by in the village and invited Sasori.

Then, without waiting for Sasori's reply, he led Hidan towards the outskirts of the village.

Kakuzu was confident that Sasori would follow.

Strong individuals all possessed their own pride, especially young, strong individuals.

Sasori was also very curious about the intentions of these two, and moreover, he didn't sense any killing intent from them.

So, without thinking too much, he followed.

He wanted to see what these two were looking for him for.

The three of them, with two in front and one behind, soon arrived at an uninhabited area a few hundred meters behind the village.

"Speak, who are you! And why do you say you're here specifically for me!" Sasori asked first when he saw the two stop.

"We are members of the Spark Organization. We've come specifically to invite you to join us because we value your talent," Kakuzu stated their purpose.

"What Spark Organization? I've never heard of it! I'm not interested!" Sasori refused without even thinking.

"This is your only chance to escape the cage, and it will be the beginning of your destiny changing. We hope you'll consider it carefully." Kakuzu's tone was very serious.

"Cage? Chance? Destiny? Heh!"

"Who can trap me! And no one can control my destiny! I am eternal!" Sasori was very confident, his words carrying a slightly chuunibyou flair.

Another problem child! The leader's judgment is too accurate; Hidan was like this too! Kakuzu couldn't help but complain inwardly.

"What you see is merely what others allow you to see. The darkness of the Ninja World is beyond your imagination!"

"You consider yourself a puppet master, yet you don't realize you are also someone else's puppet! You haven't realized the danger at all."

Seeing that Sasori was a bit difficult to deal with, Kakuzu had to use his trump card.

As a puppet master, Sasori was recognized by Sunagakure as a genius in the art of puppetry. Now, someone was saying he was also someone else's puppet!

Although he did have the idea of transforming himself into a puppet, he absolutely could not tolerate someone saying he was someone else's puppet.

This was a trampling of his dignity as a genius puppet master!

"Are you provoking me? Do you know that what you're saying is the greatest insult to a puppet master!" Sasori became somewhat angry.

"I'm telling the truth, you just don't know it."

"The Ninja World is shrouded in darkness, with no light. Do you really think you could kill the Third Kazekage on your own?"

"Everything was just a pre-arranged Script; you were nothing more than an insignificant pawn in it."

"The arrival of the Ninja World War also allowed you to fulfill your mission; otherwise, you would still be muddled and without self."

Kakuzu continued to elaborate on the terrible truth.

On the way, he had communicated with Hyuga Shin and had a sufficient understanding of Sasori.

Hearing that a member of the Spark Organization actually knew he had killed the Third Kazekage, Sasori was somewhat shocked.

Even the people of Sunagakure didn't know he had done this. How did these people from the Spark Organization know!

And a Ninja World War had broken out?

What had happened in these short few months?

Sasori couldn't process so much information at once and was a bit overwhelmed.

"How did you know I killed the Third Kazekage? And what do you mean by the Script and my mission!"

"And why do you say I've lost myself?" Sasori tidied up the information and then asked his questions with a serious expression.

"I told you, the darkness of the Ninja World is beyond your imagination!"

"As for your situation, our Spark Organization knows it very well, otherwise, we wouldn't have come specifically to invite you!"

"If you want to know the truth, join us."

"You will escape the cage of the Ninja World and understand the truth of this twisted world shrouded in darkness!"

Kakuzu began to lure Sasori into joining with the promise of truth.

Sasori frowned slightly upon hearing Kakuzu's words, unsure of the objectives of this organization.

He was speaking of vague matters without providing any answers.

However, it did pique his curiosity.

"What is the purpose of your Spark Organization?" Seeing that Kakuzu didn't answer, Sasori posed his question.

He wanted to see what this organization, which knew him so well, was aiming for.

"Our mission is to establish a unified, perfect Ninja World! To overthrow the mastermind that has covered the Ninja World for thousands of years!" Kakuzu answered Sasori's question.

"Unified! Perfect Ninja World? Mastermind?" Sasori was a little surprised.

In his perception, the middle-aged man conversing with him was definitely very strong!

Moreover, this person spoke with such conviction, as if it were true.

Did the Ninja World truly have an unknown side?

Sasori's curiosity grew even heavier.

But at the same time, his trust in the Spark Organization also increased slightly.

Because if they truly intended to deceive him, they wouldn't have stated such an unbelievable ideal!

Unifying the Ninja World was something even the God of Shinobi hadn't accomplished.

And a perfect world, in Sasori's opinion, was even more unreliable!

As for a mastermind, he felt that was somewhat possible.

So if what they said was true, had he really lost himself?

Were the so-called Script and pawns also real?

Was he truly someone else's puppet?

He fell silent for a moment, constantly contemplating the possibilities of it all.

Kakuzu and Hidan didn't disturb him, waiting quietly.

However, Hidan felt a bit displeased. When he joined, he had to endure a severe beating.

This kid, who was about the same age as him, Kakuzu was discussing ideals with! And inviting him so politely.

And this guy wasn't even appreciating it!

If Kakuzu hadn't warned him beforehand, he would have already let this kid experience the might of Lord Jashin.

Sasori's mind kept replaying Kakuzu's words, correlating them with his memories of the past.

There was indeed a suspicious point: killing the Third Kazekage had been too easy!

Thinking back now, it was truly unbelievable.

Although he had confidence in the poison he concocted, the Third Kazekage, a Kage-level powerhouse, had discovered it far too late!

It was as if he were cooperating with his actions!

Sasori thought of the Script and pawns Kakuzu had mentioned, and of losing himself. His heart chilled, and cold sweat broke out!

"Have you figured it out? Join us, and you will escape the mire you've fallen into, break free from the cage that confines you, and possess true freedom! You will know everything you want to know!"

Seeing the cold sweat on Sasori's forehead, Kakuzu knew Sasori had some suspicions and once again enticed him to join the Spark Organization.

Sasori had also thought it through. Since he wasn't sure, he would join and investigate. If it was a deception, he could just leave.

But if it were true, it would be too terrifying!

"Although I am very interested in your organization's ideals, I still need to verify your strength."

"After all, achieving the so-called unification and perfect world is not that simple. Without sufficient power, you can't convince me!"

Sasori no longer hesitated, deciding to perform the final verification.
