Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

"The seventh one!"

Nearly half an hour later, fine beads of sweat appeared on Yubi's face.

He was leaning against a Rainbowman, holding the scalpel handle in one hand, and plunged the tip of the blade into the other's heart.

Not far from his feet was another corpse of Yu Yin.

This is a one-on-two match.

It ended with his victory!

To prevent the man from firing a signal flare, Yubi kept interfering with his movements, focusing on close-quarters combat.

They launched a sneak attack from the shadows and took down one of the first men.

After the other person noticed, he quickly fought back using physical skills.

In his view, the situation was still somewhat critical.

Originally, he would never have targeted the two-person team, as the risk of exposure was too great, and the consequences of failure would be unimaginable.

Therefore, he was always looking for lone targets who didn't seem that strong.

But for some reason, the Rain Shadows in the forest suddenly showed signs of a large-scale movement and headed in one direction.

There are quite a lot of them.

Yubi immediately realized that it was Scorpion who had been exposed!

Therefore, even hiding in the shadows, he couldn't stand idly by... If he could hinder the enemy even a little, he could buy Scorpion some time.

Now, he and Scorpion are in the same boat.

There is no such thing as "protecting oneself wisely".

Yubi reached out and pushed away Amegakure's corpse, then looked toward the direction where Sasori might have been exposed.

"The number of Amegakure's strongholds in this area is around twenty or thirty... They have likely already notified their companions in other nearby strongholds that they must evacuate! The longer we stay here, the more reinforcements they will receive... This is the front line of the Land of Rain, and the number and density of Amegakure's strongholds are quite astonishing."

Yubi's heart sank.

He couldn't care less about hiding his tracks right now; he was about to set off to meet up with Scorpion.

Arai appeared.

"Mission complete, retreat."

Arai said solemnly.

"Yes."

The two then sped through the forest, encountering Amegakure who was coming from other directions.

However, without Yubi's intervention, Arai demonstrated the strength of an elite Jonin, cleanly and swiftly eliminating the enemy.

It didn't delay our progress too much.

The enemy has not yet formed an effective formation and their personnel are relatively scattered, making it the best time to retreat.

As the two approached the battlefield, the blood-covered scorpion had already finished the fight.

He appears to have sustained some injuries, but they are not serious.

"Walk!"

Arai didn't waste any words and spoke directly to Sasori.

Immediately afterwards, the trio quickly evacuated the woodland.

There's no hiding... only speed.

The faster you go, the more time you can buy to escape.

Along the way, they saw figures of rain-kissed figures darting through the woods on either side of them. Arai let Yubi and Sasori run ahead, while he quickly took down the pursuers.

Yubi and Sasori also engaged in battle with several Amegakure members.

But in the end, thanks to Arai's strong fighting ability and his choice of escape route, they managed to escape safely and return to the territory of the Sand Country.

Once the ground beneath their feet turned to sand and gravel, the Rain Shadows wisely stopped their pursuit.

And soon, people from Sunagakure arrived to meet them.

Once he was sure it was safe, Yubi, his mouth dry, lay down on the ground in a starfish position.

He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving.

The level of excitement and danger of this mission was like dancing on the edge of a knife... If anything went wrong, the three of them might not come back.

Even an elite Jonin like Arai could be in danger of dying if given enough time and a large enough force, like Amegakure.

Moreover, during the escape, he was engaged in a fierce battle with Amegakure... and he couldn't let the opponent hold him back.

The tension of this kind of battle is quite different from that of assassination.

It was clear that Arai was also a little tired at this moment, and although Sasori's face was a little pale, he still had that indifferent look.

Several of his puppets were also destroyed.

Arai looked at Sasori, seemingly wanting to say something, but hesitated.

Because, for ninjas, such thrilling battles are a common occurrence... In any case, Sasori and Yubi both completed their missions admirably.

That's enough!

Not just excellent, it was an outstanding performance!

However, the two have completely different fighting styles and methods.

Yubi is meticulous and knows how to use her brain to perfectly execute her battle plan... and she does it flawlessly. If Scorpion hadn't been exposed, Yubi could have continued hunting.

In contrast, Scorpion was simply using his powerful puppeteer abilities to eliminate his targets... as for anything else, he didn't consider it.

This is the fighting style of the scorpion.

However, this approach is not suitable for this mission.

Scorpion can also achieve the same level as Yubi, or even better... but ultimately, it's due to personality factors.

Originally, Arai planned to complete the mission within one hour, but it ended much sooner than expected.

"Twenty-one."

At that moment, Scorpion suddenly stared at Yubi lying on the ground and spoke.

"And you?"

"Including the enemies I killed while escaping... a total of ten."

Yubi laughed.

He didn't mean to blame Scorpion at all.

"I won."

Scorpion emphasized.

He killed twice as many people as Yubi.

The forces stationed in the Rain Country area have likely been almost entirely wiped out.

"Yubi is a medical ninja... He's different from you, and judging from his performance on the mission, Sasori... I think Yubi did a better job than you! Although this mission was temporary, its nature was to infiltrate the enemy lines. Under normal circumstances, if the mission were to last longer, Yubi's kill count would definitely be higher than yours! Moreover, if it were a mission for the village, he would be able to do more than you."

As the one who initiated the mission, Arai began to evaluate the two men.

This made Scorpion's eyes flicker. Although he didn't react much, you could tell he was a little annoyed.

Hahahaha.

But to Arai and the others' surprise, Yubi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Interesting...this is so interesting..."

"This feeling... is completely different from before..."

Several people looked at each other.

Even the Sand Village members who were there to meet them were a bit confused.

"This is just a small skirmish. I can't even imagine... what level of prowess and danger the top ninjas from the major ninja villages will face on the battlefield when this Ninja World War is at its most intense."

Upon hearing what Yubi said, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

Several Sand Villagers stared at him as if he were a madman.

In their eyes, it was already incredible that a brat like Yubi could enter the border of the Land of Rain, kill the enemy, and return safely. Even if they hadn't experienced it themselves, they could imagine how dangerous the process was just by looking at the three of them.

Generally speaking, it's normal for a kid like Yubi to have some psychological trauma after experiencing such a life-or-death situation.

Surprisingly, this guy wasn't scared at all; on the contrary... he seemed a little excited and enjoying it?

That's a bit perverted...

"hehe."

Seeing Yubi's reaction, Arai chuckled.

He had been worried that this incident would have some negative impact on Yubi.

Because, not to mention newcomers, even many experienced ninjas... will suffer from some aftereffects left over from the battlefield.

"Arai-sensei... let's continue."

Suddenly, Yubi got up from the ground and smiled at Arai, making the suggestion.

"Um?"

Arai was stunned.
