Chapter 122 The Third Kazekage VS Sasori of the Red Sand! (Bonus Chapter, Please Subscribe and Vote)

In an abandoned town, half-buried by sandstorms, Hoshino Shuichi had transformed into a rattlesnake and infiltrated the area.

In the desert, a rattlesnake is perfectly normal.

Meanwhile, the Third Kazekage had just met up with another person that Hoshino Shuichi had detected.

"Lord Kazekage, you are so slow, making me wait for so long... You know, I hate waiting the most."

The Third Kazekage seemed completely unconcerned by Sasori's words, calmly asking, "Is there anything important that we need to contact each other at this time?"

"You should be preparing to make your move against that person."

The shrouded in black robes, Sasori of the Red Sand, chuckled softly: "As expected of a ruthless ruler..."

Even puppets need rest and need their worn parts replaced.

"You know, I just helped you wipe out a few small countries that proposed cutting village finances."

The Third Kazekage remained ruthless: "This is the price I pay for forgiving your sin of assassinating the Kazekage!"

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. What important matter do you want to discuss with me today?"

Sasori of the Red Sand chuckled, "I want to show you my masterpiece!"

"Believe me, this will be extremely useful for Sunagakure to build a more powerful puppet army."

Feng Ying knew what it was and scoffed, "Your puppet?"

"This is not allowed in the ninja world. You are a rogue ninja, that's why we tolerate you!"

If Sunagakure develops puppetry, it will inevitably be attacked by several other villages, and even the smaller ninja villages will join in.

Therefore, even though puppets have advantages over ordinary puppets, such as being able to preserve the chakra properties and some abilities of the deceased, they are still not effective.

The threat posed by one person is nothing compared to that of an entire village, especially one of the Big Five.

Sasori of the Red Sand, while taking out a scroll, laughed and said, "Isn't developing Jinchūriki cruel enough?"

"Isn't waging war cruel enough?"

"Making dolls from enemy bodies—that's really making use of waste!"

"Wind Shadow, you're too weak!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the seal scroll was released, and a puppet appeared.

The Third Kazekage wasn't surprised at all: "Turning Konoha's White Fang into a puppet? If Konoha finds out, you're dead!"

Sasori of the Red Sand didn't care at all: "Do you think they can launch a large-scale invasion of the Land of Wind?"

"Will the Third Hokage personally intervene?"

As for the others, he didn't care at all.

He managed to escape after three assassination attempts on the Wind Shadow, and it wasn't just because the Wind Shadow let him get away with it.

Feng Ying underestimated him!

Thinking this, Sasori of the Red Sand, beneath his hooded black robe, narrowed his eyes and twitched his fingers.

Clang!

As the puppet created by Konoha's White Fang swiftly pounced, an incredibly sharp blade popped out from its right hand, crackling with electricity.

"She still won't give up!"

The Third Kazekage snorted coldly, and as he retreated, iron sand shot out.

Sasori of the Red Sand had tried to assassinate him three times, so how could he not be on guard, even though he had completely countered Sasori's abilities?

Sure enough, the puppet fell from mid-air halfway through its attack.

But the moment it landed, a chain shot out from the puppet's left hand and wrapped around the Third Kazekage's left leg as he retreated.

"Even iron sand can't completely dismantle a puppet's abilities all at once!"

"Lord Kazekage should know about the abilities of Konoha's White Fang, right?"

Sasori of the Red Sand chuckled.

The Third Kazekage's expression changed slightly. The next moment, just as he was about to forcefully break free from the chains, an electric current swept over him.

It's Konoha's White Fang's Lightning Release!

He had already experienced that firsthand when they last met!

However, given his experience, how could he not have a way to deal with it?

His skin was covered with iron sand, so he couldn't defend against lightning.

However, he can also keep this iron sand defense layer a certain distance from his skin and then conduct the lightning away.

The Third Kazekage's reaction was incredibly swift. Although he was enveloped in lightning, he only experienced a slight numbness in his body and his fighting ability was not completely destroyed.

"As expected of the strongest Kazekage!"

Sasori of the Red Sand sighed as he watched the large sword gradually materialize from the iron sand.

However, it's clear that the Third Kazekage's control over the iron sand is not as good as before, and his speed is much slower.

And this was within his expectations!

Bang!

Another seal scroll was released, and ten puppets shot out. Two rushed straight for the sword, while the other five stood in five different directions. Chains flew out and wrapped around the Third Kazekage's body. Before the iron sand arrived, the mechanisms on the puppets activated, and thick iron nails were driven into the ground, becoming a fixed fortress.

This terrain was carefully chosen by Sasori of the Red Sand. The ground has not yet been covered by sandstorms, so it can be fixed in place, preventing the Third Kazekage from flying away using Magnet Release.

The remaining three puppets were used to defend against the Third Kazekage's attacks.

bang bang bang...

One by one, the puppets were blasted apart by the iron sand.

Even a puppet is as fragile as paper when facing the Third Kazekage.

Sasori of the Red Sand didn't care. After dodging the Third Kazekage's attack, he took out another sealing scroll and unsealed it, revealing ten more puppets.

They were all made from the ninjas he killed while carrying out the secret mission given to him by the Third Kazekage to destroy those small countries.

At that moment, the Third Kazekage severed Sasori's control chakra threads over the Konoha White Fang puppet, and the Lightning Release effect immediately disappeared.

But Sasori of the Red Sand remained completely unfazed. Ten new puppets flew around, spreading out in all directions, spewing out large amounts of poisonous smoke that enveloped the Third Kazekage: "Kage-sama, I've been preparing for this day for years!"

"You bastard!"

The third Kazekage finally changed color.

The paralyzing effect of the Lightning Release was rapidly fading, and his control over the iron sand was also rapidly recovering, but it was too late.

He wasn't afraid of those deadly poisoned weapons, but he couldn't stop breathing.

In past assassinations, Sasori of the Red Sand primarily used his venom to harm him.

But at his speed, the poison gas had no chance of entering his body.

But now... he's restricted!

However, neither of the two men, who were locked in a life-or-death struggle, noticed that a rattlesnake with only its head sticking out was watching them.

wonderful!

That was absolutely fantastic!

Hoshino Shuichi almost wanted to applaud.

Indeed, the one who understands you best is always your enemy!

And often, he surpasses you!

The Third Kazekage was thoroughly studied by Sasori of the Red Sand, especially after those three assassination attempts.

The Third Kazekage was too arrogant and underestimated Sasori of the Red Sand.

The assassination attempts failed three times, each time being countered by his abilities.

Although he was cautious by nature and had enough wariness of Sasori, this traitor, he still underestimated him.

He dared to use it even though it was like a chamber pot, after someone had tried to assassinate him three times.

But if a chamber pot is broken or rotten, it will smell very bad!

It might suffocate someone one day!

Now the Third Kazekage has fallen.

I accidentally stuck my head into the chamber pot while I was sleeping.

First, Sasori used Lightning Release to slightly restrict his abilities, then restricted his speed, and then used deadly poison!

Sasori's core tactics still revolve around his deadly poison.

Having observed everything, Hoshino Shizuka felt he needed to learn from this experience.

Dead enemies are the best and most lovable!

Seeing the Third Kazekage shrouded in poison gas, and the rapidly spreading gas, Hoshino Shuichi could no longer hide.

He immediately transformed back into himself from the rattlesnake, and then transformed again.

It moved so fast, with almost no pause, that it transformed from a rattlesnake into an old purple snake!

Snapped!

With a clasp of his hands, Xingxia Xiuyi's Four-Tails chakra rapidly appeared, enveloping his entire body and then transforming into lava armor.
