Chapter 194 Sasori of the Red Sand

"Even Deidara has been resurrected using Edo Tensei?"

When they saw the reanimated Deidara appear on the screen, Jiraiya and the others all had the same thought.

That's the combination of the immortal body of the Edo Tensei form and Deidara's self-destruction. Wouldn't such a combination be a little too unsolvable?

Fortunately, this was not shown on the screen. Shortly after Deidara appeared, he was tricked into a puppet.

"If I'm not mistaken, this puppet should contain Lightning Release chakra, which is perfect for countering Deidara's clay."

"This also explains why Deidara's clay bomb is not an explosion technique, but rather a type of earth technique."

Having realized this, Jiraiya breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Deidara's raw strength wasn't that great; otherwise, he wouldn't have been defeated by Sasuke, who still had the Sharingan with three tomoe.

But how weak is he?

Gaara disagrees.

Regardless of how many external factors Deidara had when he fought Gaara.

Anyway, he won. He took Gaara back to the Akatsuki's base, drained the One-Tailed Beast's chakra, and caused Gaara's death.

The best place for someone like Deidara to unleash his explosive power is on the battlefield.

With the information that Deidara was afraid of Lightning Release ninjutsu, Konoha ninjas will have more room to maneuver when facing Deidara in the future.

Of course, the best way to prevent the Konoha ninjas from touching Deidara is to eliminate him before the war with the Akatsuki begins.

With that in mind, Jiraiya decided that he would have a good talk with Shikaku tomorrow and come up with a way to both curry favor with Onoki and get rid of Deidara ahead of time.

"It's a pity that Obito has gone crazy for so long and hasn't returned to Konoha. Otherwise, with him as a semi-undercover agent, we could have just tricked Deidara out. Why did we have to go through all this trouble?"

Within the Akatsuki organization, there was one person who, despite being extremely ugly, possessed a face as handsome as jade.

[His presence alone symbolizes the unparalleled potential of figure-making technology.]

Among countless master figurine enthusiasts, he stands out from the crowd with his exceptional talent and personal insights, truly reigning supreme in the industry.

The art of puppetry flourished under his guidance; elders modified their bodies because of him, and younger generations fell in love with their puppets because of him.

Ultimately, puppetry also faded and lost its luster after the death of this brilliant talent.

[He is the protagonist of this episode, Nicholas Scorpion.]

"Tobirama, what exactly is this puppetry technique?"

Hashirama Senju knew that anyone who could be reviewed by this light screen must have some special skill.

Deidara in the first half was a prime example; his self-destruction surprised even Hashirama Senju.

In the second half, Scorpion's specialty should be the so-called puppetry.

However, before Hashirama Senju, the Sand Village was still ruled by the First Kazekage, and at that time, the Sand Village did not know any puppetry techniques.

"The device that was shown on the screen just now, the one that trapped Edo Tensei Deidara inside the wooden container, is a puppet. And the so-called puppet technique is the secret art of controlling such puppets."

"Controlling wooden puppets? Isn't that a weak skill?"

There are some things I don't understand about Hashirama.

Is it really necessary to bring up a wooden puppet that he could smash with one punch?

"Do you think everyone is like you, strong as a monster?"

After making a brief complaint, Tobirama still explained to Hashirama in a serious manner.

"The Puppet Technique is a unique secret technique developed by Shamon, the Second Kazekage of Sunagakure."

"Shamon? Is that the bald guy standing behind the First Kazekage when I was discussing the Tailed Beasts with the other four Kage merchants?"

"Yes."

"Is it the bald guy with a blue dragon and black dragon claw-shaped tattoo on his head and right eye, and two brown braids on the back of his head?"

"Yes."

"Yes"

"Brother, if you want to continue listening to my explanation of puppetry, then you'd better shut up."

"Okay, go ahead, go ahead."

Hashirama Senju awkwardly scratched his head and didn't press the matter further.

Tobirama Senju simply sighed slightly and continued, "The upper limit of puppetry is indeed not high for people like us, but for ordinary ninjas, it can certainly be considered a decent technique."

"The strength of a puppet depends mainly on the puppeteer's skill and the materials used in making the puppet."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Based on their function, they can also be divided into attack puppets, defense puppets, capture puppets, and so on.

"In general, the potential of puppetry is not high, but it can enrich the attack methods of Sand Village ninjas."

After hearing Tobirama's explanation, Hashirama Senju was still somewhat confused.

"Even Tobirama said his potential is limited, so why is the light screen specifically reviewing this person named Sasori?"

"Perhaps it was this person named Scorpion who further improved puppetry, bringing it to a higher level. After all, the light screen said that puppetry was greatly developed in his hands."

"Yes, Tobirama, you're right. After all, we've been separated from them by several decades. Anything can happen in such a long time, and it's normal for some geniuses to emerge."

"That's right, that's most likely it."

"Sakumo, the Sasori of the Red Sand, do you have anything to say?"

As the screen began to formally review Sasori, the Third Hokage couldn't help but think of the battle between Konoha and Sunagakure during World War II.

Back then, Sunagakure was not as weak as it is now.

The puppet army composed of Chiyo and her brother inflicted heavy casualties on the Konoha ninja.

To stop this situation, the Third Hokage decided to send Sakumo Hatake with a small team to the heart of Sunagakure to carry out a decapitation strike.

As it happened, they ran into Sasori's parents, who were also on their way to the Land of Rain to deliver a "big gift" to the Konoha ninja stationed there.

Upon being exposed, Sakumo didn't hesitate and started hacking away with his knife, ultimately killing Scorpion's parents.

"I have nothing to say. Life and death battles on the battlefield are all about skill. Scorpion's parents died at my hands because they were not strong enough. Conversely, if I had died at their hands, it would have been because I was not skilled enough. I have no one to blame but myself."

"Hehe, you're right, but very few people can think that clearly and thoroughly. Most people are immersed in hatred, which is one of the main reasons why it's so difficult for the ninja world to achieve peace."

Sakumo Hatake shook his head slightly, appearing unusually calm.

"When a person is killed, they die. It's a very simple principle. If Scorpion wants to seek revenge on me, I don't mind sending him down to meet his parents and reunite them as a family."
