Sasori of the Red Sand killed the strongest Third Kazekage, and then defected?
For die-hard Naruto fans, this has always been a mystery, because to some extent, the Third Kazekage was able to control the Magnet Release with metal, completely countering Sasori's Puppet Technique. Moreover, the Third Kazekage was at the peak of his power at the time, while Sasori was still young...
The explanation that he killed the unsuspecting strongest Kazekage with the help of outsiders is plausible!
The Anbu's mission was to guard the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass for a month, and then to collect and predict the possible movements of the Iwagakure Ninja. Sato Hideaka spent exactly one month in Iwagakure, and just two days after Sarutobi Shinnosuke, he left...
This mission served as a trial for leading the team, and Sato Hideaka completed it perfectly. The mission involved predicting the threat posed by Iwagakure and considering whether reinforcements were needed. The death of the Third Kazekage directly led to the outbreak of war, resulting in the deployment of 6,000 additional troops to the border of the Land of Grass.
Leading his team, Sato Hideaka left the border of the Land of Grass and headed towards Konoha.
After completing the mission, you need to submit it to the third generation.
In a forest somewhere in the Land of Fire, Six Paths dark figures swiftly swept through the jungle, their speed extremely fast, often disappearing in the blink of an eye. With the gentle sway of the tree trunks, leaves fell into the wind, dancing gracefully as they landed on the ground.
"Captain, our food village's reserves are running low; we need to replenish our food supplies."
Amidst the figures darting through the trees, the voice of a tall, sexy female Anbu Ninja came from behind. Her codename was Spider, and her strength was around that of Chunin. She was skilled in Dual Blade Style style and trap creation; the wire trap that had previously killed two Iwagakure Ninja was one of her creations.
Leaping through the air, Sato Hideaka turned around. The sudden gust of wind caused his blue hair to dance wildly in the air. Then, he frowned slightly and asked softly, "The food... how could it be gone so quickly?"
The Spider shook its head and said, "Because of the sudden increase in manpower at the border of the Land of Grass, the food supply has become somewhat difficult, and the subsequent supplies are still in transit, so we haven't been able to retrieve much food, just enough for two people to eat."
"Alright then, let's go to the nearest city to replenish our supplies!"
Sato Hideaka took out a map and, while leaping through the forest, carefully studied its geographical location. Once he pinpointed the city's direction, he turned and headed in that direction, with his five Anbu Ninja following closely behind, leaping and bounding swiftly...
The captain of the Anbu is like a leader, and must make the right judgments at crucial moments. This is the guarantee that the team can complete the mission efficiently and reduce the mission mortality rate. This is also why it is necessary to be able to stand alone in the Shinobi World.
Five kilometers away in the direction of 1:30, there is a city.
The city was a full ten meters high. In a forest on the edge of the city, Six Paths figures instantly landed on a nearby tree. After completing the hand Hand Seals for the Transformation Technique spell, they transformed into six ordinary people of different heights amidst billowing white smoke.
The uniforms of the Anbu are far too mysterious. If someone were to enter the city dressed like that, it would be no different from entering the city naked, attracting the same crowds of onlookers. This would be detrimental to the Anbu's covert operations.
At this point, the ninja's deceptive nature played a very good role in maintaining secrecy.
The city was bustling with people and traffic, appearing extremely prosperous. The group traversed the streets and alleys, heading straight for the rations. Each member of the Anbu had purchased some rations from different places, in case of a possible poisoning and total annihilation by the enemy. However, when Sato Hideaka handed the rations to the shopkeeper, a figure caught his attention:
Among the crowd, passersby seemed to be keeping their distance from one person, trying to stay as far away from him as possible while walking. This person was short, with a high, hunched back, and a strange gait, radiating a cold aura.
As if they didn't belong to this world, they were completely out of place with the artificial liveliness around them!
This is... Hiruko!
Sato Hideaka's blue eyes narrowed slightly. He recognized the figure's origin: it was a humanoid puppet, the shell used by Sasori of the Red Sands, the puppet master of Sunagakure, to protect himself. Hiruko (Hiruko).
Unexpectedly, Sasori of the Red Sands has appeared in the Land of Fire. And the direction he's heading... is it the Land of Earth, or the Land of Rain?
The Land of Rain experiences rain all year round, which is actually not conducive to the puppets' actions...
Sato Hideaka left signals for the Anbu) in the streets. These signals were used to notify other Anbu members that they needed to wait in case of an emergency. Then, he followed Hiruko's figure alone towards the outside of the city.
Hiruko is a defensive humanoid puppet, and its overall weight should be quite large, so its movements are somewhat slow. After a while, Hiruko of people.
"Who are you? You've been following me for so long, shouldn't you come out by now?"
A hoarse and cold voice came from the ugly-looking Hiruko who had stopped walking, and it was as jarring as the wail of a ghost.
"You're the one who killed the Third Kazekage and stirred up conflict between the two nations, aren't you? Sasori of the Red Sands, the talented puppeteer of Sunagakure!"
Sato Hideaka slowly emerged from behind a large tree that would take three people to encircle, standing about fifteen meters away from Hiruko. He spoke calmly, seemingly unsurprised that Hiruko had discovered his presence.
"This height and strength, and that blue fragment... the Blue Asura of Konoha? I hear you're not even ten years old yet. Your body is too big; it can't hold many parts. It's not suitable to be made into a puppet. What a pity!"
Upon seeing Sato Hideaka's physique, Hiruko shook his ugly head and continued in a hoarse, low voice, "But wasn't it Konoha that killed the Third Kazekage? Why do you think I killed the Kazekage...?"
They actually wanted to... turn me into a puppet?
That's hilarious!
Sato Hideaka shook his head and said, "At the same time as the Third Kazekage disappeared, you also left Sunagakure and your whereabouts are unknown. Obviously, this matter is related to you. Moreover, as a Kage, disappearing silently from Sunagakure's headquarters is absolutely impossible unless someone he trusted deceived him... Am I right, Sasori of the Red Sands?"
Hiruko stared at Sato Hideaka, "Heh, as expected of the strongest talent of the new generation recognized by the Five Great Nations. You're not bad. If I hadn't lured the Third Kazekage out of the village, even if the opponent was stronger, I wouldn't have been able to do it so silently!"
"Very well. Now that you've admitted your involvement in the killing of the Kazekage, please come with me!"
Sato Hideaka's blue eyes narrowed slightly, and his body vanished from the spot in an instant.
Konoha Whirlwind!
A loud bang followed!
Before Scorpion could react, he was Hiruko in the chest by a tremendous force, his body flying backward, crashing through a row of trees, kicking up clouds of dust, and leaving a deep trench in the ground before finally coming to a stop.
However, Sato Hideaka, who had landed on the ground, was stunned for a moment because he had not expected that Hiruko's hardness was so high. The heavy blow that had completely broken a person's sternum had not shattered the material on Hiruko's surface.
"The force of that kick actually caused slight damage to the surface of my Hiruko. That's incredible! I'm suddenly interested in you again. Such a powerful weapon would be very valuable as a puppet!"
Hiruko, who had collapsed and lost Hiruko balance in the mound of earth, spread her buttocks open, and a metal stinger like a scorpion's tail was stuck in the ground, supporting her entire body. Suddenly, a calm yet somewhat fanatical voice came from inside the puppet.
Upon hearing Scorpion's words, a cold smile appeared on Sato Hideaka's lips, "I imagine what you're saying is quite interesting, of course, provided you can defeat me, but that's highly unlikely!"
"You're very confident, but if it's just the power and speed you showed just now, it might not be enough... Hiruko - Needle Eight Waves!"
Suddenly, Hiruko removed her mask, and the mechanical mouth opened abruptly. Senbon needles rained down on Sato Hideaka, the steel needles gleaming with a metallic luster, their tips painted green—a deadly toxin from the mechanical Puppet Technique.
Sato Hideaka clasped his hands together, a crimson crystal cloak forming around his body, and fearlessly charged towards the rain of Senbon rain...
The Senbon needles struck the hard crystal outer shell, making a clanging sound before falling to the ground with a clatter, causing no damage whatsoever!
This... Blue Asura's... Kekkei Genkai?
Such powerful defense! It seems that Senbon sticks of fire cannot break through the opponent's defense!
Seeing the scene unfolding before him, Scorpion, hiding in the Hiruko, immediately deduced that such an attack would not harm his opponent. His steel tail stinger, like a venomous snake poking out, instantly shot towards Sato Hideaka.
Yoshi, got it...
The chain-like spikes formed a one-and-a-half-circle, firmly controlling Sato Hideaka's charging figure within it, and then began to rapidly tighten the encirclement, tightly binding Sato Hideaka's figure.
However, just as Scorpion controlled Hiruko's tail stinger to entangle Sato Hideaka's body, his expression changed. Sato Hideaka's figure, surrounded by the chain sword of the tail stinger, suddenly became illusory, and his shadow on the ground vanished. This figure was...
The visual illusion caused by high movement... is it afterimage?
Sato Hideaka appeared above the tail spike, then spun 360 degrees and landed on the ground, extending his crystal-protected right hand to firmly grasp Hiruko's incomparably sharp tail spike chain sword, which was coated with venom.
"Ah, come on!"
With a roar!
Sato Hideaka forcefully dragged the Hiruko Tail Chain Sword with his right hand, pulling Hiruko sharply towards his position. His left fist was placed at his waist, and the chakra accumulated in his fist was already ready to strike. (To be continued.)
