Insufficient Preparation

When Uchiha Yue used the Falling Moon Style Bloodletting Technique to expel the deadly toxins from his body, he used his Purple Eye to observe the battlefield and was surprised to find that the Third Kazekage Uchiha Yue the upper hand in his fight against Sasori of the Red Sands. Uchiha Yue couldn't help but think to himself, "Old foxes are indeed spicier!"

It's important to know that even before the Third Kazekage and Sasori of the Red Sands truly clashed, Uchiha Yue secretly predicted that Sasori of the Red Sands would be the victor. (Copy this address to view: hp://%77%77%77%e%6%69%71%69%e%6d%65/)

Of course, Uchiha Yue's prediction that Sasori of the Red Sands would win was partly based on the original storyline. After all, in the original story, Sasori of the Red Sands killed the Third Kazekage and turned him into a humanoid Third Kazekage. Moreover, even without the original storyline, Uchiha Yue felt that Sasori of the Red Sands in good condition would easily defeat a weakened Third Kazekage.

Why? Because the Third Kazekage was nearly killed by Sasori of the Red Sands's deadly venom before even truly engaging in combat with Sasori of the Red Sands.

However, the actual outcome of the battle was completely unexpected for Uchiha Yue.

Despite being severely poisoned and coughing up black blood with each hand Hand Seals, the Third Kazekage to suppress Sasori of the Red Sands with his own strength, gradually turning the tide of the battle. As the fight intensified, the Third Kazekage gained the upper hand, completely dominating Sasori of the Red Sands. Now, with the battle nearing its end, the Third Kazekage firmly grasped the victory, leaving Sasori of the Red Sands no chance of a comeback!

Uchiha Yue, who used his Purple Eye to observe the battle between the Third Kazekage and Sasori of the Red Sands, was undoubtedly very alarmed to see that the Third Kazekage was able to gain the upper hand.

However, after truly analyzing the battle between the Third Kazekage and Sasori of the Red Sands, Uchiha Yue suddenly realized that it was perfectly normal for the Third Kazekage to win against Sasori of the Red Sands.

Because, in a real fight, the Third Kazekage would have the advantage over Sasori of the Red Sands in every aspect!

Sasori of the Red Sands's only advantage might be that the Third Kazekage is poisoned!

First, as the Third Kazekage, the strongest Kazekage of all time, he undoubtedly possessed a deep understanding of Puppet Technique. Even though Sasori of the Red Sands's Puppet Technique was astonishing, the current Sasori of the Red Sands was not the Sasori of the Red Sands from the original story whose Puppet Technique easily overwhelmed Chiyo. Therefore, the Third Kazekage was highly skilled in countering Puppet Master. Shortly after their initial encounter, the Third Kazekage used his understanding of Puppet Technique to suppress Sasori of the Red Sands's Puppet Technique.

At that time, even though Sasori of the Red Sands had nine humanoid puppets, those puppets didn't demonstrate their full power in his hands. On the contrary, because of his Puppet Technique skills, Sasori of the Red Sands was constantly countered by the Sasori of the Red Sands Third Kazekage every time he controlled the nine puppets. Gradually, the Third Kazekage turned the tide of the battle and began to gain the upper hand.

Secondly, the Third Kazekage was able to maintain Kazekage position for Third Kazekage: his immense strength and his vast combat experience, as well as his remarkable skills and cunning. Having experienced countless battles and Third Kazekage- death struggles, he stood out among numerous powerful contenders for the Kazekage. Just how rich was the Third Kazekage's combat experience, and how astonishing were his methods and cunning?

Looking at Sasori of the Red Sands, in terms of experience, he was merely a novice demon, even though he possessed strong Puppet Technique and extremely powerful poison techniques. However, when he actually fought the Third Kazekage Sasori of the Red Sands, Sasori of the Red Sands's lack of combat experience became apparent. Moreover, while the Third Kazekage used his own combat experience to break through Sasori of the Red Sands's attacks time and time again, the Third Kazekage had already devised a perfect battle plan using his formidable cunning and methods.

In this way, the Third Kazekage was able to steadily and surely turn the tide and eventually gain the upper hand.

But...

Ultimately, what enabled the Third Kazekage to completely suppress Sasori of the Red Sands, leaving Sasori of the Red Sands powerless to retaliate, was not only the Third Kazekage's combat experience, methods, cunning, and understanding of Puppet Technique.

The real reason why the Third Kazekage was able to suppress Sasori of the Red Sands and leave Sasori of the Red Sands powerless to fight back was the secret technique mastered by the Third Kazekage: the Iron Sand Technique!

When using the Iron Sand Technique, the Third Kazekage generates a very strong magnetic field around him. Even when fighting Uchiha Yue, the Third Kazekage used that powerful magnetic field to prevent Uchiha Yue from using his Fubuki Tachi, Fubuki, which contained metallic elements. Furthermore, Sasori of the Red Sands's puppets, even his prosthetic arms, incorporated many metallic elements. Therefore, within the powerful magnetic field created by the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand Secret Technique, every action Sasori of the Red Sands took, every time he controlled the nine humanoid puppets, was influenced by the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand Technique.

In this situation, how could Sasori of the Red Sands possibly suppress the Third Kazekage?

Under these circumstances, how could Sasori of the Red Sands possibly defeat the Third Kazekage?

At this moment, of the ten humanoid puppets Sasori of the Red Sands originally controlled, only two remained usable. Moreover, one of those remaining puppets was half-destroyed, rendering it virtually useless. As for Sasori of the Red Sands himself, he too had been severely injured in his battle with the Third Kazekage. Even though the Third Kazekage coughed up black blood with every hand Hand Seals, Sasori of the Red Sands's current state was clearly far more wretched than the Third Kazekage's!

However, even under these circumstances, with the Third Kazekage seemingly about to kill Sasori of the Red Sands, Uchiha Yue, after using his Purple Eye to observe Sasori of the Red Sands, still felt that Sasori of the Red Sands was very likely to win. The reason Uchiha Clan supported Sasori of the Red Sands so much was not because Sasori of the Red Sands killed the Third Kazekage in the original story and turned him into a humanoid puppet.

The reason why Uchiha Yue supported Sasori of the Red Sands so much was because Uchiha Yue, using his Purple Eye, could see through Sasori of the Red Sands's hidden trump card!

"It seems that even the Third Kazekage didn't discover Sasori of the Red Sands's final move!"

While using his Purple Eye to observe the battle between Sasori of the Red Sands and the Third Kazekage, he simultaneously used the Falling Moon Style Bloodletting Technique to slowly expel the poisonous blood from his trump card through his fingers. At this moment, a pool of black blood could be seen at Uchiha Yue's feet, spilled onto the sand. Moreover, Uchiha Yue's face had become much paler, clearly due to the significant loss of blood, which had caused his complexion to deteriorate.

But...

At this moment, Uchiha Yue's attention was not on his pale face or the poisonous blood flowing from his hands.

At this moment, Uchiha Yue's attention was entirely focused on Sasori of the Red Sands. Then, seeing Sasori of the Red Sands's fingers twitch slightly, Uchiha Yue suddenly raised an eyebrow and continued to think:

"Since the Third Kazekage failed to discover Sasori of the Red Sands's final move, then the enemy I'm facing may very well be Sasori of the Red Sands!"

"The Third Kazekage! The Third Kazekage!"

"You died at Sasori of the Red Sands's hands, not because you weren't strong enough."

"It's simply because you weren't prepared enough!"
