Ambush

Asura, a powerful figure who shook the entire Shinobi World four years ago in Konoha. For more exciting content, please visit [website address].

Regardless of which faction it was, they had been investigating Asura's intelligence for four years in Konoha. Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue, who held the title of Asura, had always lived in seclusion in Konoha, preventing any faction from obtaining information about Asura. Therefore, those factions that wanted to win over Asura or eliminate Asura were all waiting for Asura to appear. The Third Kazekage, as the highest leader of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, never imagined that he would be so lucky as to be the first to obtain information about Asura before Sasori of the Red Sands arrived.

However, as the supreme leader of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, the Third Kazekage was not one to court the Asura faction.

Therefore, what truly made the Third Kazekage feel lucky and excited was that he was finally going to be the one to personally slay Asura!

As for why the Third Kazekage wanted to kill Asura, and why he possessed such intense killing intent to eliminate Uchiha Yue, who held the title of Asura?

Then we need to talk about those in the Shinobi World who want to kill Asura!

When the Asura incident shook the entire Shinobi World, it was usually some ninja villages, or those struggling to survive, who wanted to win Asura over. This was because those villages, and even those struggling to survive, felt that Asura was the best weapon to intimidate the five Shinobi World Five Great Shinobi Villages. Just look at Asura's achievements in the Land of Water; whichever village could win Asura over would essentially possess a weapon of war like Tailed Beast.

At that time, even if one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages puts pressure on that ninja village, that ninja village can still retaliate using the name of Asura.

Thus, Asura became the savior of those ninja villages, those struggling to survive in the cracks, and in their eyes, Asura was someone they wanted to win over. However, precisely because those ninja villages, those struggling to survive in the cracks, held such thoughts, Asura became someone who disrupted the balance of the Shinobi World. Anyone who could disrupt the balance of the Shinobi World was intolerable to the five great Shinobi World Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Among them, besides Kirigakure, controlled by Uchiha Madara, and Konoha, which knew Asura's true identity...

Other villages such as Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure all wanted to eliminate Uchiha Yue!

In particular, the Sunagakure, the weakest of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, felt that Asura was the biggest obstacle to their development.

Therefore, the Third Kazekage had always wanted to eliminate Asura and obtain information about Asura's death. And now, after Sasori of the Red Sands brought the information, the Third Kazekage finally found the opportunity to kill Asura with his own hands.

How could the Third Kazekage not be tempted?

He readily agreed to Sasori of the Red Sands's suggestion and led the Shadow Guard to the area where Asura roamed to deal with Asura!

If you were to ask, was the Third Kazekage so confident that the place Sasori of the Red Sands led him to wasn't a trap?

This brings us to Sasori of the Red Sands's status in Sunagakure and the Third Kazekage's confidence!

Firstly, the most direct reason why the Third Kazekage could so readily trust Sasori of the Red Sands's words was Sasori of the Red Sands's status in Sunagakure. Sasori of the Red Sands was an absolutely powerful figure in Sunagakure; his grandmother was Chiyo, the Chiyo of Sunagakure 'Sunagakure Council of Elders. Moreover, Sunagakure was originally a village controlled by the Council of Elders, and Kazekage Sunagakure's orders required their approval. Furthermore, the current Third Kazekage was much younger than in the original story, meaning the Third Kazekage's power within Sunagakure was even less than that of the future Rasa and Fifth Kazekage.

Therefore, under the Chiyo influence of Granny Chiyo, the Third Kazekage's power in Sunagakure was extremely limited.

Sasori of the Red Sands happened to be the one who could influence Chiyo, so the Third Kazekage naturally tried his best to win Sasori of the Red Sands over and occasionally tolerated Sasori of the Red Sands willfulness.

In this way, even if Sasori of the Red Sands's report was false, the Third Kazekage, in order to gain more influence, would have to indulge Sasori of the Red Sands's whims and leave Sunagakure.

This also shows that there was a reliable reason why Sasori of the Red Sands was able to successfully assassinate the Third Kazekage in the original story!

The second reason the Third Kazekage trusted Sasori of the Red Sands so easily was Third Kazekage arrogance. As the strongest Kazekage, the Third Kazekage was confident that he was invincible within the Sunagakure and the Land of Land of Wind. Even the Third Hokage, who held the title of the strongest ninja in Third Kazekage Shinobi World, did not faze him; how much less would he fear a mere newly famous Shinobi World Asura?

However, it is precisely because of these two reasons that Sasori of the Red Sands is 99% confident that he can lure the Third Kazekage out to the place he agreed to meet with Uchiha Yue.

Uchiha Yue also understood Sasori of the Red Sands's thoughts and knew why Sasori of the Red Sands was so confident that he brought the Third Kazekage to their agreed location.

However, to Uchiha Yue's surprise, when he arrived at the prepared battlefield as agreed, he couldn't detect a single ninja in the vicinity, even with his Purple Eye activated. Wearing the Asura Mask, Uchiha Yue, wondering if something had happened to Sasori of the Red Sands.

With this in mind, Uchiha Yue decided to hide first and see if anything unexpected had really happened with Sasori of the Red Sands.

However, what happened next caught Uchiha Yue's Purple Eye's attention, causing Uchiha Yue to stop trying to hide and a cold smile crept onto his lips.

Because at this moment, Uchiha Yue actually used his Purple Eye to perceive that Sasori of the Red Sands, along with the Third Kazekage and members of the Third Kazekage's Shadow Guard, were actually planning to ambush him!

"Sasori of the Red Sands, you really have faith in me!"

"You actually brought the Third Kazekage and members of his Third Kazekage Shadow Guard to ambush me? Aren't you afraid I'll die first and won't be able to help you wear down the Third Kazekage?"

"What a stroke of luck! I have a powerful tool like the Purple Eye for insight, otherwise I might have really fallen for your trick!"

"However, it would be impolite not to reciprocate!"

"Since you're planning to ambush me with the Third Kazekage, don't blame me!"

While silently contemplating this thought, Uchiha Yue appeared to be making no move, but in reality, he was already prepared to deal with Sasori of the Red Sands's impending ambush.

Then, when Sasori of the Red Sands, along with the Third Kazekage and his Third Kazekage Shadow Guard members, arrived before Sasori of the Red Sands Uchiha Yue, they all stopped their ambush upon seeing Uchiha Yue silently waiting for something. At the same time, the Third Kazekage and his Shadow Guard members, seeing the legendary Asura standing there quietly, began to have some doubts.

Immediately afterwards...

What made the Third Kazekage and his Shadow Guard members even more suspicious was that just as the Third Kazekage was ordering his Shadow Guard members to prepare for an ambush...

Uchiha Yue stood there quietly, then suddenly murmured:

"Seriously, Sasori brought the Third Kazekage's head here for the trade, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
