Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

The suitcase opened in mid-air, releasing the familiar and comforting scent of ink from the banknotes.

Kakuzu quickly used Earth Grudge to catch the scattered banknotes, and at the same time weighed the briefcase in his hand, revealing a satisfied smile.

He was really tempted!

"Alright." Kakuzu placed the briefcase into the sealing scroll, looked at Sasori, and said.

"As a temporary teammate, I am unwilling to fight you."

Upon hearing this, Scorpion's eyes turned terrifyingly cold, as if they could drip water.

He knew perfectly well what Kakuzu was planning.

You need money, but you also need to preserve your strength to ask for money.

Thinking of this, Scorpion panicked.

He has just created the Third Kazekage puppet and is not yet fully familiar with the use of Magnet Release.

Being able to go up against Sakumo is already a stretch, let alone adding Uchiha Haneda with his three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Aren't you afraid they'll renege on their debt?" Scorpion coldly reminded him.

"Default on a debt? In my entire life, everyone who has ever defaulted on a debt to me is dead, without exception," Kakudo said dismissively.

He's a Kage-level powerhouse, and Konoha doesn't want to make enemies for no reason. It's not worth it to renege on a debt.

Besides, Kakuzu could have easily gone to the Uchiha clan to collect his debt himself.

Selling Sharingan eyes is a good business.

When Kakuzu said those words, not only Sasori panicked, but even Black Zetsu, who was hiding behind the scenes, panicked.

Similarly, Asuma and Red, standing behind Haneda, were dumbfounded, utterly astonished by Haneda's incredible skill.

They never imagined that money could be used to resolve disputes and bribe enemies!

To be honest, it's a bit outrageous, and it almost completely shattered their understanding of ninjas.

It's important to know that most ninjas value their reputation very much, whether they are from ninja villages or wanderers.

"Haneda, I never expected you could win over the enemy with just a few words," Sakumo said in surprise.

He had been on missions for decades, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

The most outrageous thing is that the person in front of him is also a Kage-level powerhouse, just like himself.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate and a fight was about to break out.

The black market manager jogged over and shouted to Kakuzu:

"We at the gold exchange are willing to pay ten times the price!!"

ten times?!!

Kakuzu's expression immediately changed; he never doubted that the people at the gold exchange would dare to cheat him.

"Ahem... I have always traveled to various countries with my integrity, and I would never do anything as dishonorable as betrayal."

"Konoha ninjas, there's no point in saying more, let's fight!"

Scorpion was speechless when he saw his temporary teammate switch sides again.

However, the hatred in his heart suppressed these distracting thoughts, but a seed of doubt was planted in his heart.

Kakuzu is not someone to be trusted completely; we must be cautious in our cooperation with him!

Upon seeing the black market manager arrive by sheer coincidence, Haneda instantly understood that the current situation was orchestrated by Madara and Black Zetsu.

An ordinary person could evade the perception of one's own Sharingan, hide nearby, and suddenly appear here.

He couldn't believe such a thing could happen!

Besides, the timing was just too perfect!

"Looks like we still have to take action, Uncle Sakumo."

As Haneda spoke, lightning flashed, and the light of the Chidori Blade shone on the short sword.

"Haneda, the three of you deal with that puppeteer," Sakumo quickly ordered.

He himself took the initiative to recruit Kakuzu, who was known as "the one who assassinated the First Hokage and escaped unscathed".

“Okay.” Haneda naturally understood Sakumo’s thoughts.

Although Kakuzu boasted about throwing kunai from 800 miles away, his words were very fake.

However, his current strength is undoubtedly much greater than that of Sasori, who just assassinated the Third Kazekage.

Both Kagami are veteran Kage-level figures, while Sasori is only a teenager who has just mastered the Third Kazekage's puppet and has not yet fully adapted to it.

Strong against strong, weak against weak, that's perfectly reasonable.

"Uchiha brat, ha, Konoha's White Fang really looks down on me."

Sasori, controlling the Third Kazekage puppet, charged towards Haneda.

"Let's deal with you first."

"Magnetic Release - Iron Sand Rain!"

Before the seal was formed, the remaining iron sand on the ground instantly transformed into waves that surged towards Haneda.

At the same time, the iron sand transformed into countless fine needles, shooting at Haneda from every angle.

Extremely fast, like a bullet!

"Magnetic Release... perhaps this technique can be used."

Lightning flashed on Haneda's short sword, and the chirping of the Thousand Birds never stopped.

Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!

The Chidori Stream, an area-of-effect attack, generates a powerful electric current that disrupts the surrounding magnetic field.

At the same time, the powerful electric current collided with the iron sand, causing the iron sand, which had turned into fine needles, to stop abruptly and fall limply to the ground.

Magnetism generates electricity, and electricity generates magnetism.

Magnet Release and Lightning Release are essentially mutually restraining; the battle is a contest of who has the stronger control.

Undoubtedly, Haneda's Lightning Release was the victor!

"If you only use Magnet Release, a bloodline limit that's not even in the top tier, then you're bound to lose."

Haneda's three-tomoe Sharingan looked towards the canopy of a large tree, where Sasori's true form was hiding.

Lightning Release: Thousand Birds Sharp Spear!

A beam of light flashed, forcing the scorpion to jump down from the tree and land on the ground.

The splashed dirt hit his face, but Scorpion didn't care.

"Your lightning release is quite good; you're worthy of being crafted into an eternal work of art," Sasori chuckled softly.

He looked at Haneda as if he were looking at a work of art, his gaze both unrestrained and indifferent.

"I don't have a deep understanding of Magnet Release, so I won't play this game with you."

"Next up is the battle of the puppeteers. Let me show you my art."

Scorpion tore open the sealing scroll beside him, and several puppets emerged from the scroll.

At the same time, he slightly moved his fingers, and several chakra threads connected the puppet.

Scorpion, like a pianist, moves his fingers with an artistic flair.

But the puppets he controlled were ruthless killing machines, surrounding and attacking Haneda!

Haneda's Sharingan spun rapidly, revealing a large number of puppets in front of him, all of which were of good quality.

Through his Sharingan, he could tell that most of the puppets in front of him were made from the corpses of at least Chunin.

This includes five Jonin!

At this point, Scorpion already possessed the rudiments of the Hundred Machine Manipulation Technique!

Haneda frowned. With his strength, dealing with Sasori was too much of a stretch, and he probably wouldn't last long.

Chapter 088 Haneda VS Sasori of the Red Sand

Brush brush!

Just as Haneda was pondering, the puppets had completely surrounded him.

Their mouths, hands, and other body parts shoot out countless needles coated with venom. Once they touch them, they draw blood and can kill a person in less than three minutes!

The puppetry techniques of Sunagakure also include poison making!

Haneda's Sharingan spun rapidly, trying to find the perfect spot to break through.

But the dense, rain-like barrage of poisonous needles left no blind spots.

Earth Release or Wind Release?

Without time to think, Haneda quickly formed hand seals.
