Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

"Hmph, what ninja would ever talk about the strong bullying the weak or the powerful oppressing the small?"

"So, ninjas are said to hide their heads and show their tails?"

"There's no point in arguing. How could you, the esteemed Kazekage, be here?"

At this point, Sasori suspected that there had been an intelligence leak or that there was a mole within the organization, but he couldn't think of anyone to suspect...

The other members of the organization had no contact with Sunagakure, so how could they be the mole?

On the contrary, his deep ties with Sunagakure make him more likely to be suspected of being a mole...

"Of course, I'm going to Konoha to see my lover."

"The reason I disguised myself was to give those with ill intentions a surprise, but I never expected to run into you..."

Ye Cang explained deliberately with a smug smile on his face.

In fact, Gen Uchiha wasn't afraid that Nagato and Obito would suspect that there was a mole within Akatsuki...

One reason is that Juzo and others are clean and reliable, making it very difficult for Nagato and Obito to find concrete evidence.

Without concrete evidence, the two would not easily take action against the core members of Akatsuki, after all, strong people are not easy to recruit, and Akatsuki has quite a few core members.

Secondly, in Uchiha Gen's view, Nagato and Obito were no match for him. With his current terrifying strength, dealing with them would not be difficult, as long as he could find them!

With three and a half traitors in the operation, finding Nagato isn't difficult; the main challenge is finding Obito and Black Zetsu.

Once these two are dealt with, the rest will be simple.

What a treacherous woman!

Scorpion cursed inwardly, then remembered that Yekura was Uchiha Gen's woman, and his anger burned even more fiercely...

He suffered quite a loss in front of that guy before!

"Don't assume everything is foolproof just because you're here."

"This is where you'll die today!"

"Deidara, get serious!"

At this moment, Deidara was atop the giant bird, shielding himself from Gaara and the others' interference, and had finished applying medicine to stop the bleeding from his wounds.

Upon hearing this, Deidara, his face turning somewhat crazed, shouted, "Art is an explosion! Today, I will sublimate all my enemies, including the Jinchuriki, through my art..."

"You all step back a bit."

Ye Cang remained unmoved upon hearing this and calmly gave the order.

If she were alone, she would be quite wary of these two; according to intelligence, death was highly likely. But with her husband's summoned beast, she wasn't afraid at all.

Zhu Rong and Tian Wu are the most suitable summoning beasts for her among her husband's summoning beasts. If necessary, he can also summon Qiang Liang...

"Yes, Lord Kazekage!"

After bowing, the four Temari members immediately retreated to a deserted area to the west.

This level of battle is beyond their reach. Even Gaara is only qualified to participate if he borrows the power of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast.

Sasori and Deidara ignored Temari and the others, as they were being closely watched by Shurou, Tengo, and Pakura, leaving them no time to spare. They would have to deal with Pakura first before making any further plans.

Scorpion pulled out a scroll and flicked it into the sky. Countless dark shadows shot out from the scroll, transforming into puppets dressed in brownish-red robes, each with its own unique appearance and weapon.

At the same time, the gate on the right chest opened, and dense chakra threads shot out, connecting with hundreds of puppets floating in the air. These puppets were like imperial guards protecting their puppet emperor, creating a spectacular scene!

Compared to Sasori's preparations, Deidara's preparations were far less impressive; he devoured the exploding clay like a starving ghost.

It was chilling at first, but it became quite spectacular later on. The continuous explosions of clay, under Deidara's control, transformed into a rather... artistic white dragon with two wings.

"go!"

Sasori and Deidara shouted, and countless human puppets and a giant white dragon charged towards Yekura...

Without Yecang giving any instructions, Zhu Rong and Tengo took action.

Zhu Rong opened his mouth, spewing out golden-white flames that covered an astonishingly large area, directly engulfing all the puppets. Wherever the flames passed, the air distorted and the temperature skyrocketed.

Don't let Tengo's usually gentle and cute personality fool you; when he gets going, he's no slouch at all. He spews out a cherry-like white wind bullet from his tiny beak...

The white wind bullet rapidly grew larger during its flight, transforming into a semi-transparent wind bullet whose size was no less than that of the C2 Flying Dragon.

The explosion caused by the explosive clay spewed out by the white dragon did not hinder the wind bombs in the slightest, directly crushing the dragon into countless fragments...

Scorpion dodged while manipulating his puppets to evade, but due to the wide range of the flames, about a third of the puppets were unable to dodge in time and were reduced to ashes in the flames.

The golden flames fell on the lush green grass, instantly burning a large area of ​​grass, drying out the moisture on the ground, and cracking the soil.

Yecang naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch; after forming hand seals, a millstone-sized, orange-red sphere hurtled towards Scorpion.

At this point, Scorpion had no time to dodge and could only manipulate the puppets to gather in front of him to defend himself...

The fireballs created by the Scorching Release technique were incredibly powerful. Although the puppets had no moisture inside, they were instantly ignited by the high temperature, and the puppets quickly turned to ashes.

Using the time bought by the puppet, Scorpion quickly dodged.

This brief exchange left Temari and her three companions dumbfounded and utterly shocked...

Compared to this battle, their previous battles were like child's play!

Once they reached a safe position, looking at the remaining puppets, Scorpion felt a pang of pain in his heart. In just one round, he had lost almost half of his puppets.

This is too fast!

Although Scorpio's heart can no longer be considered a heart, the pain it once caused is still remembered.

Realizing that the human wave tactic was completely ineffective, Sasori decisively put the remaining puppets back into the scroll, and then took out his greatest masterpiece again—the Third Kazekage Puppet!

"The Third Kazekage did indeed die by your hand. Prepare to die, Sasori!"

"Tengo, keep the enemy occupied and don't let him disturb me."

"Yes, madam."

Tengo responded, then flapped his wings and flew towards Deidara.

Deidara unleashed a swarm of white winged birds, which, under his control, relentlessly pursued and intercepted Tengo.

"drink!"

With a soft shout, all the twin-winged birds exploded, and fireballs appeared in mid-air. Deidara quickly retreated, and a streak of blue light descended from the sky, slicing the white bird in two.

If Deidara hadn't dodged quickly, he probably would have been cut in half. Tengo's speed is second only to Kyoura, and he is even better in terms of speed and agility in a small area.

Deidara formed hand seals in mid-air and created a large white bird to help him stay aloft, otherwise he would have been half-dead from the fall.

Caught a streak of blue light out of the corner of his eye, Deidara didn't have time to think and instinctively flipped over on the bird's back.

With a sizzle, the large white bird was split in two again, except this time it was cut horizontally instead of vertically.

With a thud, Deidara landed, ignoring the pain, and pulled out a white pill, slamming it onto the ground. A large cloud of white smoke enveloped Deidara...

Tengo, who was about to make a cut, appeared in mid-air, his wings and beak emitting a bright white light, much like the light emitted by the Spiral Shuriken.

Tengo opened his beak and blew, and a gust of wind swept out, instantly dispersing the white smoke. However, the ground was already empty.

"Madam, the enemy has infiltrated underground! Be careful!"

Tengo's voice wasn't loud, but carried by the gentle breeze, it reached Yokura's ears accurately...

In reality, Deidara had no intention of attacking Yekura, at least not for the time being.

Having narrowly escaped death twice in a short span of time, Deidara is now underground calming his racing heart and bandaging his reopened wounds...
