Although he had not yet had time to restore his puppet army to its former scale, when he heard that he could make things difficult for both Sunagakure and Konoha at the same time, Sasori agreed without the slightest hesitation.
After all, getting revenge on Sunagakure was one kind of joy, getting revenge on Konoha was a second, and on top of that, he could use them afterward to make Human Puppets. With three pleasures stacked together like that, who could possibly resist?
So the moment Sasori of the Red Sands heard it, he immediately put down the materials he had been working on and moved two steps closer. "What do you mean?"
Although there was no particularly obvious fluctuation on his face, the fact that he was willing to temporarily set aside the puppet he was making was already enough to show how much attention he was paying to this matter.
"Not long ago, a city was discovered in the desert of the Land of Wind. It has an extremely vast chakra source, and it was discovered by people from Konoha and Sunagakure together."
There was no need to spell things out too clearly. A smart person would naturally hear the meaning behind the words.
In the shinobi world, chakra was the most important energy source, bar none. It was far more sought-after than things like oil in the real world.
An ownerless chakra source was simply a prize that had fallen from the heavens!
But since it had been discovered by both sides at the same time, neither of them could possibly allow the other to swallow it whole. The wrangling and fighting involved would be nothing but trouble.
And that just so happened to give third parties like them the chance to fish in troubled waters.
