"Hahahaha! It's almost done!!!" Sasori laughed loudly, his hands trembling a little. After all the time he had spent planning this, was he finally about to succeed?
"That's not quite how it's going to go. Pikachu!" Sōkyū Hatake smiled faintly. An orange-yellow figure appeared beneath the operating table.
"Pikachu!!!" Pikachu cried out, and bolts of lightning began engulfing the entire operating table and Sasori!!!
Boom!!!
As bursts of yellow lightning appeared, the entire cave was bathed in Pikachu's lightning.
The moment he pushed open the door, Sōkyū Hatake had already had Pikachu use Quick Attack to get beneath the operating table. He had been waiting for this opportunity to show Sasori what it meant to fail at the final hurdle!
"No!!!" With an enraged roar, Sasori forcefully yanked out the Third Kazekage Rasa's heart and held it against his chest.

Conqueror's Haki! And at the perfect level!
After hearing the system notification, a smile appeared on Sōkyū Hatake's lips.
This mission was finally complete.
Yes, Rasa's heart and all that had never been Sōkyū Hatake's ultimate objective. All along, he had had only one ultimate objective.
That was to kill Rasa and complete the final part of this mission.
After all, he would not have such a
