Each With Their Own Schemes

"Sasori of the Red Sands, can I trust you?"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, he immediately swallowed back the words Sasori of the Red Sands was about to say.

Furthermore, after Sasori of the Red Sands pondered for a few seconds in front of Uchiha Yue, Sasori of the Red Sands suddenly sneered and said to Uchiha Yue, "Uchiha Yue, it seems your Konoha has quite the appetite, actually sending you to assassinate the Third Kazekage. Uchiha Yue, regardless of whether I am trustworthy, even if I really brought the Third Kazekage here, are you truly confident you can kill him?"

"Do you know that our Third Kazekage of Sunagakure is the strongest Kazekage of all time!"

"Do you even realize that even if you successfully assassinate the Third Kazekage, you won't be able to leave the Sunagakure's sphere of influence, nor will you be able to leave the Land of Wind?"

"Are you really willing to give your life for Konoha?"

"Are you still the Uchiha Yue I know?"

Upon arriving at this point, Sasori of the Red Sands saw that Uchiha Yue remained motionless in front of him, and with a sneer, prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, just as Sasori of the Red Sands was about to take a step, Uchiha Yue suddenly Fubuki Tachi, and said in a detached tone, "Sasori of the Red Sands, you think you understand me, but you have no idea of my current strength. What I just told you wasn't a lie. My purpose in coming to the Land of Wind was to assassinate the Third Kazekage. Moreover, the events in the Land of Water were indeed done by me, Uchiha Yue. If you don't believe me, you can investigate through special channels whether my code name in the Anbu Leaf Konoha's Uchiha Yue is indeed Asura!"

"Once you've found out everything, you'll know that what I said is true!"

"It's true that I wanted to assassinate the Third Kazekage!"

Uchiha Yue paused for a moment, then turned his back to Sasori of the Red Sands and continued, "Three days from now, I'll be waiting for you here, Sasori of the Red Sands!"

"I'd like to see if you can actually bring the Third Kazekage with you!"

"As long as you can bring the Third Kazekage, no matter how difficult the Third Kazekage is to kill..."

"His head is mine, Uchiha Yue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Yue disappeared without lingering in front of Sasori of the Red Sands, vanishing in a Body Flicker Technique.

After Uchiha Yue left, Sasori of the Red Sands remained silent for a long time at the spot where he had previously spoken with Uchiha Yue before slowly disappearing from there.

However, Sasori of the Red Sands did not expect that Uchiha Yue, who had left before him, had not actually left, but had stayed nearby, observing Sasori of the Red Sands's expression.

Furthermore, after seeing Sasori of the Red Sands's expression as he left, Uchiha Yue was already certain that Sasori of the Red Sands would bring the Third Kazekage here in three days.

However, Sasori of the Red Sands's purpose in bringing the Third Kazekage here is probably not just to assassinate him!

Sasori of the Red Sands truly wanted were the heads of the Third Kazekage and Uchiha Yue!

"Sasori of the Red Sands, greed is the original sin, it seems you really don't understand!"

Watching Sasori of the Red Sands leave silently, Uchiha Yue sneered inwardly, secretly mocking the Sasori of the Red Sands who was far less mature than the one in the original story.

If the person standing before Uchiha Yue was Sasori of the Red Sands from the original story, then Sasori of the Red Sands certainly wouldn't have so easily trusted Uchiha Yue and lured the Third Kazekage here after the events of the original story. Unfortunately, the person standing before Uchiha Yue just now wasn't the extremely mature Sasori of the Red Sands the Red Sand from the original story, who had experienced many trials and tribulations.

Therefore, Uchiha Yue was confident that Sasori of the Red Sands would arrive with the Third Kazekage in three days.

One of the reasons Uchiha Yue was certain of this was that Sasori of the Red Sands was not confident in killing the Third Kazekage. In particular, whenever the Third Kazekage left Sunagakure, he would inevitably take the members of the Sunagakure Shadow Guard with him. Therefore, in order to eliminate the members of the Shadow Guard around the Third Kazekage and to successfully assassinate him, Sasori of the Red Sands Third Kazekage definitely seize this opportunity.

After all, with Uchiha Yue as a powerful ally, Sasori of the Red Sands's chances of assassinating the Third Kazekage would be greatly increased.

The second reason why Uchiha Yue was certain that Sasori of the Red Sands would arrive with the Third Kazekage in three days was that he knew very well how much Sasori of the Red Sands hated him. If Uchiha Yue hadn't severed Sasori of the Red Sands's arms, Sasori of the Red Sands would have had no reason to create a humanoid puppet, even if in the original storyline the humanoid puppet was Sasori of the Red Sands's final form.

However, Sasori of the Red Sands was not confident that he could kill Uchiha Yue. The strength that Uchiha Yue had just displayed had already made Sasori of the Red Sands wary.

Therefore, Sasori of the Red Sands needed to use a proxy to kill Uchiha Yue.

The sharpest blade belonged to the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure and the members of the Third Kazekage Shadow Guard who protected him!

Combining the two reasons above, it becomes clear that Sasori of the Red Sands had no intention of cooperating with Uchiha Yue; he actually had his own calculations in mind.

Killing two birds with one stone, Sasori of the Red Sands had already devised a plan in that instant. He intended to use Uchiha Yue as a spearhead to weaken the Third Kazekage's Shadow Guard members. Simultaneously, Sasori of the Red Sands wanted the Third Kazekage and his Shadow Guard members to kill Uchiha Yue. Given this, in order to successfully assassinate the Third Kazekage, create the strongest humanoid puppet, and kill his Uchiha Yue, why wouldn't Sasori of the Red Sands lure the Third Kazekage here three days later?

However, when Sasori of the Red Sands devised this plan, he probably did not expect that Uchiha Yue also had his own calculations.

This is why Sasori of the Red Sands was still immature in Uchiha Yue's eyes!

"Sasori of the Red Sands, your plan to kill two birds with one stone may be flawless."

"But didn't you ever consider that after you lured the Third Kazekage, I could easily outmaneuver you in front of Third Kazekage?"

As he secretly sneered to himself, Uchiha Yue hurried Hyuga Anya's camp, thinking to himself:

"You think that by luring the Third Kazekage here, you can use two swords to weaken Third Kazekage while simultaneously killing me?"

"Unfortunately, you didn't consider that while you can use someone else to do your dirty work, the knife in your hand could also hurt you."

"In your plan, until you successfully kill the Third Kazekage, you will still be a ninja of Sunagakure, on the same side as the Third Kazekage."

"But..."

"As a ninja of Konoha, how can I stand by and watch Sunagakure enjoy peace?"

As he silently thought this, the cold smile on Uchiha Yue's lips suddenly deepened.

Then, as Uchiha Yue conjured up the scene three days later in his mind, Uchiha Yue suddenly clenched his eyes and continued to think:

"Sasori of the Red Sands, your name as a rogue ninja..."

"I'm going to memorize it!"
