Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 59 The Hidden Mist Appears

Puppeteers fear nothing more than enemies getting close, and now Chiga has arrived at Sasori's side.

Chiga's gaze was sharp as a knife, his crimson Sharingan glowed with an eerie red light in the night, and the katana in his hand radiated a cold light.

Faced with Chiga's imposing presence, Sasori of the Red Sand could no longer escape, and he dared not look Chiga in the eye.

"it's over!"

Without any further movement, Chiga approached Sasori of the Red Sand, raised his katana, and prepared to chop Sasori down to avenge Sasori's destruction of his crows.

However, just when Chiga thought Sasori had no other options, he suddenly saw a slight smile on Sasori's lips.

At that moment, several blades inexplicably emerged from Sasori's back.

The sharp dagger pierced straight into Chiga's heart.

Chiga's heart skipped a beat, and he twisted his body forcefully, narrowly dodging the attack.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: As expected of Sasori of the Red Sand, a future member of the Akatsuki, he's already starting to touch his own body.

It seems that a full-body makeover is not far off.

It was only because Chiga was alert that she was hit by the sudden attack.

But Chiga was unwilling to let her attack miss.

With a swift movement, the katana traced a strange arc in the air before slashing fiercely at Scorpion's arm!

"snort!"

In an instant, blood splattered, and Sasori's arm fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out like a spring, staining his clothes red and dripping onto the ground, forming blood-red flowers.

However, Sasori of the Red Sand merely grunted and frowned before manipulating his blade to stab Chiga.

At the same time, the two puppets abandoned Kakashi and came behind Chiga, taking out their weapons and slashing at him.

Caught between two attacks, Chiga had no choice but to retreat. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and quickly retreated to the side.

Seeing Chiga leave, Sasori of the Red Sand breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with one hand, he manipulated three chakra threads to pull out intact parts from the remains of the ground puppet.

They pieced together three puppets from various sources.

Seeing this, Chiga's lips twitched slightly, feeling rather helpless.

They failed to deliver a fatal blow when they got close before, and now the chances are even slimmer.

Sure enough, you can't give a puppeteer time to react.

However, what Chiga didn't know was that these three puppets were temporarily put together and might be comparable to normal puppets.

These three combined are already quite good compared to the previous one.

For a moment, both sides stopped fighting.

Chiga watched Sasori stop the bleeding from his arm and said in a deep voice, "Sasori, your arm has also been severed, and you only have five puppets left. If we continue fighting, the outcome is uncertain! It would be better to retreat like this, so you can go back and reattach your severed hand."

In this battle, Chiga also consumed a lot of chakra. If the battle were to continue, he couldn't guarantee that he could maintain the high intensity of close combat he had before without using emotional points.

"It's just an arm; it'll need to be modified sooner or later anyway. You can make the decision for me!"

At this point, Sasori knew that it was no longer possible for him to kill both of them, but he was still somewhat unwilling to retreat.

Flesh and blood are weak and vulnerable, while machinery ascends to immortality, right?

Okay, you're very insightful!

"In that case, you might as well come back to Konoha with me!"

Seeing this, Chiga could only brace himself and prepare to fight Sasori of the Red Sand again.

Just as Chiga was preparing to use the system to boost his stats to deal with Sasori, Kakashi, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Sasori, if you're planning to wait for reinforcements from the other Sand Village, I advise you to leave now!"

"Hmph, don't underestimate the Sand Ninja; two of those three are Jonin!"

Sasori's expression remained unchanged despite Kakashi seeing through his plans, but his heart was pounding. Could those three guys really not even be able to handle a Jonin?

At this moment, Sasori noticed that the sounds of battle on the other side had gradually weakened, but the sounds of fighting could still be heard.

This also shows that the opposing Jonin are taking down their opponents one by one.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

Sasori cursed under his breath, completely unaware that failing to handle the two boys made him look even more useless.

He glanced at Kakashi with a gloomy look, then turned his gaze to Chiga.

As for Kakashi Hatake, although he thought he was good, he was just so-so. In a one-on-one situation, he couldn't last more than a few rounds against him.

However, the failure of Uchiha Chika's assassination tonight was entirely due to this young man from the Uchiha clan.

His Jonin-level swordsmanship rendered his puppets ineffective, and his casual use of Fire Release and Wind Release techniques could even cause him significant losses.

Sasori of the Red Sand couldn't believe that this was only a seven-year-old.

To be so capable at such a young age, I can hardly believe it if he grows up in a few more years and becomes even more accomplished!

But at this point, he was at his wit's end and had no way to kill Chika.

Chiga and Kakashi had already sensed Sasori's intention to retreat, and relaxed smiles immediately appeared on their faces.

"Uchiha Chika, I'll remember you!"

Sasori of the Red Sand felt a desire to retreat, and before leaving, he took a deep look at Chiga.

"Then please don't forget me, thank you!"

Chiga responded as well.

He really hoped that Sasori of the Red Sand would always remember him.

Despite Sasori's nonchalant attitude towards his severed hand, it brought Chiga three to four hundred emotion points in a short period of time.

Clearly, the feud over the severed arm has been established, and Chiga will likely continue to receive Sasori's emotional points in the future.

However, at that moment, an inexplicable chilling aura suddenly spread from all around.

Like the thick fog before dawn, it arrived quietly, shrouding the entire battlefield in mystery.

"Keep fighting! Keep hitting!"

"We thought we could take the target without lifting a finger, but it seems we'll have to do it ourselves. Looks like Sasori of the Red Sand isn't so great after all!"

"We've been pretty lucky today. Not only did we find our target, but we also managed to take Sasori of the Red Sand away. He's Chiyo's precious grandson!"

"That's true. Taking this back will definitely make us a lot of money from the Land of Wind."

"We've got so excited watching the show, it's time we took matters into our own hands and sent them to hell!"

Their conversation came from all directions through the fog, making it difficult to tell where they were.

"The Hidden Mist Ninja of the Land of Water?"

Chiga, Kakashi, and Sasori's expressions all changed at once, and then they looked warily at the thick fog around them.

The people of Mist Village are skilled in assassination, and in such thick fog, who knows from which direction they might attack?

"Heart, liver, kidneys, throat."

"These are all top-quality cuts, it's so hard to choose!"

Hidden in the mist, the Mist Ninja kept talking to provoke Chiga and the others.
