Dark Undercurrents

Land of Fire.

After Sasori obtained the corpses of his parents and Bunpuku,

he hesitated instead.

As far as Sasori knew, only Obito's side possessed the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The only other person who knew it was Orochimaru.

For all this time, no one in Konoha had discovered exactly how the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had been resurrected.

Sasori had only uncovered that it might be related to Orochimaru.

Now Obito claimed that as long as he used the corpse of a former Jinchuriki, he could resurrect Sasori's parents through Impure World Reincarnation.

How could Sasori not be tempted?

The corpses of other Jinchuriki were naturally difficult to find, but Sunagakure was much simpler.

After all, Bunpuku had never been valued back then.

He had always been imprisoned, and after his death, he was buried without much ceremony.

His corpse had not been protected at all.

More than a decade had passed, and many people no longer even knew where his grave was.

Only because Chiyo was in Sunagakure had Sasori been able to find Bunpuku's corpse so easily.

What Sasori hesitated over was that if he let Obito resurrect his parents, he would very likely end up under Obito's control.

Moreover, he knew too little about the Impure World Reincarnation technique itself.

So he did not immediately return with his parents' corpses.

He planned to see whether he could find any further intelligence about Konoha's resurrection.

Sasori arrived at the Bounty Brokerage.

The person in charge was still that bald man.

"Lord Sasori, it has been some time since you last came."

The bald man stepped forward to greet him. Sasori of the Red Sands was among the very best of the bounty hunters.

Many of the Bounty Brokerage's difficult missions required people like them to complete them.
