Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 136 Something's Up, Go Ask Danzo (Third Update)

"It's Yubi from Sunagakure! Kill him!"

"Over here—"

Soon after eliminating the four-man group led by members of the Yamanaka clan, Yubi was deliberately surrounded by Konoha ninja who wanted to kill him.

However, with the combined abilities of Crimson Scale Leap and Winged King, his speed was simply unmatched by ordinary people.

Intercepting him would be too difficult.

Moreover, Yubi had no intention of getting entangled with these ordinary soldiers. Once they formed an encirclement, he would immediately slip away without the slightest hesitation.

His targets were those who could bring special value to Konoha's tactics on the battlefield, as well as some members of Konoha's clans.

This great battle could reduce the number of Konoha clans by bloodline—and also avoid the pressure that Sunagakure would face when fighting Konoha on other battlefields as the ninja war spreads.

"Don't let him get away!"

However, Yubi's plan was sound—but he was, after all, in the middle of enemy lines, surrounded almost entirely by Konoha ninja.

Although his speed allowed him to move quickly and shake off some enemies.

But Konoha's reaction was also quite swift—they began to consciously keep an eye on him almost immediately.

"A sensory ninja has located my position and is mobilizing Konoha personnel in this area—"

Yubi realized the problem.

His eyes darted around, observing the Konoha teams converging from all directions, searching for weaknesses before their encirclement formation was fully established.

To break through.

He dared to venture deep into the enemy territory alone because he was confident in his mobility and knew that the battle had just begun and neither side had yet grasped the situation on the battlefield. Most importantly, his eye technique allowed him to foresee impending crises.

Furthermore, the battlefield is large enough and the environment is complex enough.

For him, this was a form of protection.

It's unlikely that they would be targeted by Konoha's elite forces immediately.

Especially—Naruto.

"Earth Release: Rock Spear!"

Yubi formed a mudra with his hands and slapped them on the ground.

Nearby, beneath the feet of a group of Konoha ninja rushing towards them, stone spikes suddenly burst forth, forcing them to jump and scatter. Although the ninjutsu did not hit any target, Yubi's desired effect was merely to hinder the enemy from getting closer and leave some space.

boom!

A Konoha ninja saw through his intention and, while moving, unleashed a Fire Release technique in his direction.

But Yubi was too fast—in just a moment of distraction, he had disappeared from the sight of the Konoha ninja.

boom!

Just as Yubi was risking his life to weave through the Leaf Village's defenses,

Above their heads, the entire night sky was suddenly illuminated by a dazzling light—a raging fire shot straight into the sky.

It burned a large area of ​​forest vegetation, and thick smoke rose everywhere.

The sheer force of the noise—so much so that the ground in the area he was standing on trembled slightly—was quite terrifying.

"We need to speed things up—"

Yubi glanced at the direction of the flickering flames in the distance, and his heart sank.

By observing the entire battlefield through his eye technique, Yubi gained some insight into Konoha's tactical arrangements.

That is, to use members of each Konoha clan as the core to drive the independently operating teams, integrate them into the key nodes of the entire battle, and make them interconnected—thereby giving the entire army a qualitative change in combat capability.

For example, the secret techniques of the mountain tribe, their perception and battlefield intelligence gathering, and the auxiliary role of the coordination of personnel—can revitalize a team in the shortest possible time.

The mobile squad, led by members of the Shiranui clan, is capable of rapid relocation on the battlefield and providing support. The Aburame clan's secret techniques are virtually impossible for unsuspecting opponents to defend against.

The insects they cultivate and control, through their secret techniques, possess a variety of effects.

Moreover, insects have a natural advantage in hiding in such forests.

They are also very skilled at dealing with the puppeteers of Sunagakure.

In contrast, while the Sand Village's puppeteers possess unique attack methods and techniques, and their other combat teams also have similar battlefield effects, they are at a disadvantage because they lack core characters like members of the Konoha clan who can bring about a qualitative change to the team.

Yubi was well aware that thanks to a series of pre-battle arrangements and plans, as well as the advantage of occupying a certain area, they were still able to fight Konoha to a standstill. However, as time went on, if the battle continued to the end, the tactical value of these Konoha clan members would become increasingly apparent.

Therefore, these are the people he prioritizes to eliminate.

In addition, there is another point—although he was unwilling to admit it, with Hiruzen Sarutobi there, given the Hokage's abilities and his dominance on the battlefield, if it were simply a contest between Konoha and Sunagakure to see who could kill more people, then Sunagakure would definitely be the loser.

Therefore, Yubi did not pursue the number of enemies killed—he knew he could not outnumber his opponents.

The person he wanted to kill was a key figure in the Konoha army who bore more responsibility.

Of course, the Sand Village isn't without its trump cards—they just haven't revealed them yet.

It's estimated that it won't be long before Konoha notices something amiss.

"Captain, all the traps in this area have been cleared."

"very good."

After a while, at a corner in the woods.

Two members of the Shimura clan are leading a special squad to complete a battlefield mission.

What they had to do was destroy some of the traps and mechanisms that Sunagakure had designed in advance, so as to prevent them from harming their other comrades or affecting Konoha's actions and coordination on the battlefield.

Therefore, their goal was not to kill the enemy, but rather to indirectly ensure the safety of other active teams.

However, in the process of clearing the traps, they inevitably had to fight with some of the Sand Village ninja.

Fortunately, after a fierce battle, they finally achieved a temporary victory and cleared out most of the Sand Village infiltrating from the surrounding area.

Afterwards, the members of the Shimura clan will lead their team to continue clearing mines in other areas.

boom!

boom--

But suddenly, the Shimura clan man who was the captain saw his clansman in front of him stare blankly, then his body suddenly swelled up, and then—exploded violently.

The splattered blood and bits of flesh covered his face.

Not only his own kind—the other members of the team were also struck one after another, as if they had seen something—

Something went wrong; it turned into a living bomb.

Before him, it shattered into pieces.

A series of footsteps approached—the man's pupils contracted as he looked towards a spot ten feet away.

Then he saw a pair of eerie, red-glowing eyes approaching him from the woods.

"A member of Shimura Danzo's clan? Heh—I really did receive special treatment from him before—"

With a soft laugh, Yubi slowly walked out.

His eyes gleamed with a cold light as he stared at the terrified man.

Yubi knew the other party's identity because he used genjutsu to control a Konoha Chunin on his way here.

He noticed the special nature of this squad.

But to their surprise, the person leading the group was actually a member of the Shimura clan, who were related to Danzo.

It was a lucky accident.

"If you have anything to say, you can ask Danzo when you meet him in the afterlife—"

Yubi smiled slightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she pounced on the man.
