Sasori of the Red Sand

Uzumaki Hane's eyes narrowed, thinking to herself, "So fast." But her body moved quickly, leaping backward in an instant, narrowly avoiding the scorpion's tail.

Seeing that it had failed to hit Uzumaki Hane, Sasori of the Red Sand retracted its tail and slowly swayed it in front of it, saying in a cold voice, "Uzumaki Hane, since you have resisted, there's nothing I can do but add you to my collection." With a tearing sound, Sasori of the Red Sand's tail lightly ripped open, revealing the puppet inside.

The puppet was shaped like a ball, with all four limbs on the ground. Its back was a huge, ugly human face, and a long scorpion tail extended from the mouth of the face. It was none other than Hiruko.

Red Sand Sasori stared intently at Uzumaki Hane, and said in a cold voice, "Uzumaki Hane, do you know how I create puppets? First, I remove the internal organs from the corpse, then I perform embalming, and then I install various accessories on the corpse. That's how a puppet is completed, and you will become one of my puppets. This is my art."

Uzumaki Hane looked at Sasori of the Red Sand. Unlike Deidara's art of instantaneous explosion, Sasori of the Red Sand pursued eternal art. Therefore, he liked to turn everything into puppets, even himself. Perhaps this was his source of sorrow, but Uzumaki Hane did not agree with this idea.

Hiruko is a puppet that combines offense and defense. To defeat Sasori of the Red Sand, you must first destroy Hiruko and pull Sasori out of it. However, Uzumaki Hane doesn't understand puppets at all, so the only option is to shatter Hiruko. With that thought, Uzumaki Hane's right arm quickly turned into lava and rushed towards Sasori.

The scorpion's tail throbbed violently as it lunged at Uzumaki Hane. The scorpion's tail was highly venomous, and the Sasori of the Red Sand was a poison expert, making its venom extremely difficult to deal with. However, Uzumaki Hane not worried, as she believed that her elemental transformation would make her immune to its toxins.

Uzumaki Hane deftly dodged the scorpion's tail with its left side, increased its speed, and rushed towards the scorpion.

Scorpion said, "That's right, I dislike waiting for others the most." He suddenly ripped off the mask from his face with his right hand, revealing the puppet's mouth inside. The mouth opened, and countless poisonous needles shot towards Uzumaki Hane.

The poison needles rained down, shimmering with an eerie blue light, clearly coated with deadly poison. Uzumaki Hane produced Kunai in both hands, nimbly dodging the needles. Those she couldn't dodge were deflected with her Kunai. The poison needles not only failed to stop Uzumaki Hane, but she actually drew closer and closer to Uzumaki Hane.

Just then, as Uzumaki Hane dodged a swarm of poisonous needles, a scorpion tail suddenly appeared in front of him as if by Uzumaki Hane towards him. Uzumaki Hane's eyes narrowed, and he crossed his arms in front of him, his two Kunai steadily blocking the scorpion's tail.

The poison needles continued to shoot rapidly towards Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane shouted and pushed away the scorpion tail. Then he retreated backward, and at the same time, a lava shield appeared in his right hand, blocking all the poison needles that were attacking.

Uzumaki Hane kept thickening the shield in his hands to prevent the poison needles from piercing it, then charged towards Sasori of the Red Sand with the shield still in place.

Soon, Hiruko finished firing the poison needles from her mouth. Sasori of the Red Sand was somewhat surprised and said, "They were all blocked? So what?" Her left arm severed at the forearm, and a cylindrical arm shot out, then began to spin. The cylindrical rod embedded in it spun with the arm and shot out violently. The rod split open in mid-air, and poison needles shot out from the rectangular rod, densely packed, flashing with a ghostly blue light. They were obviously also coated with potent poison, and shot towards Uzumaki Hane.

A Magma Wall appeared in front of Uzumaki Hane, and the poison needles shot at it, but the needles were too fast and pierced through the Magma Wall. Uzumaki Hane was startled, and almost simultaneously, a shield appeared on his right arm, blocking the poison needles just in time.

Uzumaki Hane threw down his shield and continued charging towards the scorpion. Halfway there, he suddenly slammed out with his right hand, sending a Rock Fist hurtling towards the Sasori of the Red Sand. At the same time, Uzumaki Hane accelerated again, charging towards the Sasori of the Red Sand.

The Rock Fist rushed towards Scorpion, but Rock Fist quickly dodged to the left. It was truly unexpected that someone of Scorpion's size could be so fast.

Just as Sasori of the Red Sand dodged the attack, Uzumaki Hane rushed in front of Sasori.

Sasori of the Red Sand showed no panic, its tail swiftly stabbing towards Uzumaki Hane's forehead.

Uzumaki Hane tilted its head slightly, dodging the scorpion's tail, while its right arm expanded to ten times its original size and slammed fiercely towards Hiruko.

The Sasori of the Red Sand swiftly moved to the left, and with a loud crash, the Uzumaki Hane smashed a large crater in the ground. Seeing this, the scorpion lashed its tail towards the Uzumaki Hane's chest. The Uzumaki Hane, though stung in the chest by the scorpion's tail, seemed unaffected, its left hand swiftly reaching forward and grabbing the scorpion's tail. The Sasori of the Red Sand was somewhat astonished; its poison had no effect?

With a forceful pull, Uzumaki Hane caused Scorpion to stumble. Taking advantage of Scorpion's unsteady stance, he slammed his right hand into Scorpion's Hiruko. With a crack, Uzumaki Hane was shattered by Hiruko, and countless puppet fragments scattered in all directions.

At that moment, a dark shadow flashed inside and retreated ten meters away. It was Scorpion in its true form.

Sasori of the Red Sand said, "I didn't expect you to destroy my puppet. It seems that Hiruko alone cannot deal with you. Next, I will show you my favorite puppet." A scroll appeared in his right hand, Deidara slowly opened the scroll, summoning the puppet inside.

Uzumaki Hane looked at the puppet and said, "Is this the puppet you created using the Third Kazekage?"

Sasori said with some surprise, "You actually know this, and you weren't surprised when you saw my appearance just now. Deidara also mentioned that you seem to know about his C4 Karura. It seems you know a lot about us. Why is that?"

Uzumaki Hane smiled mysteriously, without answering Scorpion's question, and directly threw a punch, a Rock Fist slamming towards Sasori of the Red Sand.

Sasori of the Red Sand said, "Since you won't tell me, you'll find out when you become my collection." He easily dodged the Rock Fist, and at the same time, the puppet rushed towards Uzumaki Hane. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of Uzumaki Hane, and its right hand extended several knives covered with a bluish-green poison, which it slashed at Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane Feather abruptly stopped, a shield appearing on his right arm to block the puppet's attack. With a sudden thrust, he sent the puppet staggering. Then, his left arm rapidly transformed into lava, and with a powerful swing, dozens of Lava Shuriken shot towards the puppet and the scorpion.

Sasori of the Red Sand controlled the puppet, which quickly stood in front of Sasori, its right hand moving rapidly to block the Lava Shuriken one by one. Then, the puppet's left hand suddenly opened a mechanism, and countless arms stretched out from its hand, intertwining and grabbing at Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane held the shield in his right hand and blocked in front of him. Bang! His arm slammed into the shield, and dust billowed up.
