Can I Trust You?

"Oh? The purpose?"

Upon hearing Sasori of the Red Sands speak first, Uchiha Yue felt his deduction was at least 60% accurate. However, Uchiha Yue and Sasori of the Red Sands had never had any connection, and Sasori of the Red Sands's arms were the ones Uchiha Yue had severed during the Chunin Ninja Exams. Therefore, even though Uchiha Yue knew that he and Sasori of the Red Sands might share the same goal, he still couldn't bring himself to ask for cooperation, especially in such a sensitive matter as assassinating the Third Kazekage Uchiha Yue.

Therefore, not long after Sasori of the Red Sands finished speaking, Uchiha Yue pondered for a moment and came up with a feasible plan in his mind.

Then, after Uchiha Yue formulated a preliminary framework for his plan, a confident smile slightly appeared on his lips. However, Uchiha Yue's face was hidden behind the Asura Mask, so Sasori of the Red Sands couldn't see that confident smile. Immediately, using his Purple Eye to observe Sasori of the Red Sands's every expression, he saw Uchiha Yue slightly raise his eyebrows and say to Sasori of the Red Sands, "Sasori of the Red Sands, my purpose in coming to the Land of Wind this time is to assassinate the Third Kazekage. Do you believe me?"

"What?"

When Uchiha Yue arrived, Uchiha Yue, who had been using his Purple Eye to observe Sasori of the Red Sands's expressions, clearly noticed the panic in Sasori of the Red Sands's eyes. Undoubtedly, only someone whose thoughts Uchiha Yue had figured out could elicit such an expression from the usually composed Sasori of the Red Sands. At the same time, Uchiha Yue could even guess Sasori of the Red Sands's inner thoughts; Sasori of the Red Sands was probably secretly wondering if Uchiha Yue knew about his plan to assassinate the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure.

Just as Uchiha Yue had imagined, Sasori of the Red Sands was indeed thinking to himself, "Could it be that my plan to assassinate the Third Kazekage has been exposed?"

Otherwise, how could a ninja like Uchiha Yue possibly utter such words about assassinating the Third Kazekage in front of him?

However, Sasori of the Red Sands was still somewhat confused. How could Uchiha Yue know about a plan that even his collaborator, Hyuga Hiashi, was unaware of? So, after a few seconds of slight panic, Sasori of the Red Sands quickly concealed his expression. Unfortunately, by the time Sasori of the Red Sands had hidden his panic, Sasori of the Red Sands Uchiha Yue was already certain that Sasori of the Red Sands's goal was to assassinate the Third Kazekage!

"Sasori of the Red Sands, I never expected you to have such a big appetite!"

Almost certain of his deduction, Uchiha Yue stared intently at Sasori of the Red Sands with his Purple Eye, the smile on his lips deepening. Then, seeing that Sasori of the Red Sands seemed to have something to say to him, Uchiha Yue first observed Sasori of the Red Sands's every movement, then couldn't help but think to himself:

"It seems that Sasori of the Red Sands of the Sasori of the Red Sands wasn't entirely confident in assassinating the Third Kazekage, otherwise he wouldn't be so flustered as he is now."

"If that's the case, then Sasori of the Red Sands's next move is very likely related to assassinating the Third Kazekage!"

"Then, I just need to play along and I can figure out Sasori of the Red Sands's entire plan."

"If Sasori of the Red Sands is truly sincere, then what's wrong with me cooperating with him?"

"Our goal is to kill the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure and plunge the entire Shinobi World into chaos!"

Silently thinking to himself, Uchiha Yue focused all his attention on preparing to deal with Sasori of the Red Sands, who was as cunning as a fox.

And when Uchiha Yue was fully prepared, he focused intently on Sasori of the Red Sands's every expression and every movement...

Just as Uchiha Yue had imagined, Sasori of the Red Sands began to probe the accuracy of Uchiha Yue's previous words and whether there was any possibility of cooperation between the two!

"Uchiha Yue, are you really going to assassinate the Third Kazekage?"

At this moment, Sasori of the Red Sands was also staring intently at Uchiha Yue, paying close attention to his every move, and asked cautiously:

"Has Konoha fallen into decline?"

"To actually send a demon to assassinate the Third Kazekage, how laughable!"

"Sasori of the Red Sands, aren't you a demon too?"

Upon hearing Sasori of the Red Sands's words, Uchiha Yue retorted without hesitation, "Furthermore, so what if our village sent me to assassinate the Third Kazekage? Back in the Land of Water, even the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, was severely injured by me. What's a mere Kazekage? Sasori of the Red Sands, I'm not afraid to tell you, the Asura who Yagura the Fourth Mizukage Shikikura back then was me, Uchiha Yue! Didn't you notice that the mask I'm wearing is the Asura Mask?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Sasori of the Red Sands glanced at Uchiha Yue with a skeptical look, then sneered with a hint of doubt, "You? Uchiha Yue, you dare call yourself Asura?"

What, you don't believe me?

Seeing Sasori of the Red Sands's skeptical expression, Uchiha Yue sneered inwardly and retorted, "Sasori of the Red Sands, what evidence do you have to prove I'm not Asura?"

"This.."

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Sasori of the Red Sands fell silent. Clearly, Sasori of the Red Sands had no evidence to prove that Uchiha Yue was not Asura.

Then, Sasori of the Red Sands's conversation with Uchiha Yue once again fell into an awkward atmosphere.

However, Uchiha Yue was very clear that Sasori of the Red Sands probably already believed to some extent that he was Asura.

As for what happens next, Uchiha Yue felt he didn't need to say anything more, because Sasori of the Red Sands in front of him was definitely going to start talking about cooperating to assassinate the Third Kazekage.

As expected, Uchiha Yue guessed right once again.

After a full five minutes of silence between Uchiha Yue and Sasori of the Red Sands finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke directly to Uchiha Yue, "Uchiha Yue, I know you don't believe me, and I don't believe you either. I don't believe you're planning to assassinate the Third Kazekage, nor do I believe you're the legendary Asura of the Shinobi World. Since that's the case, there's no need for us to continue talking. However, if you really are going to assassinate the Third Kazekage, I can do you a favor!"

"After that, I can lure the Third Kazekage to this area!"

"If your mission is to assassinate the Third Kazekage..."

"After those three, the opportunity will be right in front of you; it's up to you whether you cherish it!"

Just as Sasori of the Red Sands was about to turn and leave, Uchiha Yue suddenly used a Falling Moon Style: Flash Step to move in front of Sasori of the Red Sands before Sasori of the Red Sands could turn away.

Moreover, at this moment, Uchiha Yue was holding the Fubuki Tachi and pointing it directly at Sasori of the Red Sands in front of him.

Immediately, just as Sasori of the Red Sands frowned, about to angrily rebuke Uchiha Yue...

Unexpectedly, before Sasori of the Red Sands could speak, Uchiha Yue spoke first, asking, "Sasori of the Red Sands, can I trust you?"
