Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Arai and his two companions arrived at another region near the Land of Rain.

This place is far enough away from the territory they previously raided.

They also came into contact with the Sunagakure guards in the area and learned some information about the "other side" from them.

Then, they rested for a day.

As night fell, Arai once again led the two into the Land of Rain.

Everything remains the same.

Arai remained hidden in the shadows, observing the two men's performance on their mission while protecting their safety.

As for Yubi and Scorpion, they acted alone.

Having experienced the mission before, the two were clearly more familiar with it this time.

"If you lose again this time, you'll have nothing to say."

Before parting, Scorpion crossed his arms and stared at Yubi indifferently, exuding a somewhat domineering aura.

Scorpion didn't seem to intend to be too arrogant, which led to the mission being terminated early.

"I was never as good as you... You're a genius puppeteer, and I'm just a medical ninja..."

Yubi scratched his head and replied with a smile.

Compared to Scorpion's confrontational approach, he appeared more relaxed and carefree.

They didn't care about the competition.

These words made Scorpion frown slightly, looking somewhat displeased.

But without saying anything, he simply jumped away.

Yubi also went into hiding.

……

A moment later, through a gap in the shade of the trees, a pair of eyes were fixed on the two patrolling Rain Shadows.

The two were moving slowly, chatting as they ran through the woods.

There was no sense of tension; he appeared very relaxed.

They were completely unaware of the danger lurking in the shadows.

Yubi tugged at the piano string wrapped around her hand... and there was a whoosh.

Just as the two Rain Hermits landed on a tree, and one of them had barely stepped onto the trunk, a flash of silver light appeared, and the Rain Hermit's head flew off, severed cleanly.

"What is that?!"

The other Rain Shadow's pupils contracted, as if facing a formidable enemy.

He only saw a flash of light before his teammate was killed.

There wasn't a soul in sight.

This made him completely unaware of the existence of enemies.

Swish!

Another subtle sound rang out, and this time, with caution, Yu Yin finally spotted the weapon.

It was a very light and small throwing knife, flying through the air. Even at high speed, it made almost no noise and was extremely difficult to detect.

By the time he saw the throwing knife, it was too late to dodge.

Because...it was too fast.

If he could detect the location of the throwing knife from the beginning, he could dodge it.

However, because this method of killing enemies is too insidious, Amegakure is unable to predict the attack route in advance.

Almost in the blink of an eye, his head, like his companion's, was thrown into the air along with the blood.

With a whoosh.

The suspended knife, drawn by some force, flew back into the tree canopy where Yubi was hiding.

Meanwhile, the two corpses of Yu Yin were entangled by Yubi's silk threads, which dragged the bodies into the weeds.

Everything happened so quietly... and then it was gone in an instant.

"It's really good... but since I didn't control it myself, the power and the angle of the cut aren't quite precise yet... it makes bloodstains, which is a bit troublesome." Yubi tried out the new ninjutsu, and the result was very pleasing, but in his opinion, there were also some shortcomings.

"What should I name this ninjutsu... After all, Arai might be lurking in the shadows, so I need to explain this ability of mine."

"Let's call it 'Sword Intent Manipulation'."

"The inspiration comes from Sasori's chakra threads, which are related to puppeteers..."

In fact, his method of fighting with lines is quite common on the battlefield.

However, since his ability was obtained from within the system and did not originate from this world, its power and effect after assimilation into a ninja are similar to the original character, and it is not something that an ordinary ninja can use.

For example, Sasuke, relying on his Sharingan, also used this kind of thread when fighting Orochimaru.

For example, combining some hidden weapons with fire techniques.

But Yubi's piano strings are specially made... they don't exist in this world, and they are difficult to spot with the naked eye during a fight.

It looks like... the throwing knife he's controlling is as if he's dancing in the air.

And in fact.

Arai was indeed hiding not far from him.

After all, compared to Sasori, Arai is more "concerned" about Yubi.

I was afraid he would encounter danger.

Upon seeing Yubi's move, Arai's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

He was quite far away, and Yubi's attack and the killing of the enemy were all over in such a fast time that he didn't even see it clearly.

"Was it his scalpel?"

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

Arai is not entirely sure.

The shock he felt at that moment was considerable.

It's worth noting that when Yubi previously infiltrated the Land of Rain and attempted to assassinate Amegakure, he engaged in close-quarters combat.

This method wasn't revealed at all!

Soon... due to the disappearance of the patrol personnel, another person named Yu Yin came looking for them.

This time, as Arai got closer and looked more closely, he finally saw it clearly.

The scalpel was held by a thread, somewhat like a puppeteer's method of controlling a puppet, allowing the throwing knife to be flexibly controlled from a distance.

To Arai's surprise, not only could Yubi control this knife so skillfully from such a distance, but its power and speed were also remarkable.

What's most frightening is the secrecy of this method.

The material of the thread was clearly different from others, coupled with the special nature of the scalpel…

"It combines some ninja tool techniques... and some elements of hidden weapons, but it feels more like a puppeteer's chakra threads..." Arai felt very strange.

This was a ninjutsu he had never seen before.

"If it were me, I could handle it, but in certain circumstances, a person's state of mind and mental state are different... The unpredictability of this ninjutsu, and the effectiveness of assassination... even a Jonin-level ninja could be in danger if they encountered it..."

Arai took a light breath of cold air.

Yubi, this junior... had this trick up his sleeve?

It didn't work even in such a dangerous situation during the previous mission...

What other skills does this kid have up his sleeve?

Arai suddenly realized that he couldn't quite understand Yubi anymore.

This little guy is a bit mysterious.

He had clearly stated before that he didn't want to become a puppeteer...

Looking at it now... it seems to Arai that Yubi has already made a lot of preparations to become a puppeteer.

"You two-faced little rascal."

Arai exhaled a breath of stale air, inwardly cursing and laughing.

……

Meanwhile, the scorpion had already begun its hunt.

This time, he didn't make a big fuss about it; instead, he kept it as secret as ever.

Using the puppeteer's manipulation techniques, he eliminates his target without anyone noticing, employing his own puppets.

His hunting methods were the same as Yubi's.

This time, however, Scorpion did it cleanly and efficiently, demonstrating the puppeteer's skill in assassination to an unparalleled degree.

The traces at the scene were also well erased.

Time passed slowly, and soon... the disappearance of a large number of Rain Shadow outpost personnel caused commotion on the Rain Shadow defense front.

Many Rainbows have begun to appear in the forest, and the sense of crisis has suddenly increased.

However, this time... Arai and his two companions were not as disheveled as before.

Moreover, the mission had lasted for an hour, and the three of them quietly withdrew despite the large-scale search and operation by Amegakure.
