Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Yubi met with a group of village leaders, including the Third Kazekage.

Originally, he was planning to take on another mission with Scorpion and leave immediately.

But Arai brought him here urgently.

According to the latter, the village held a meeting regarding his bloodline limit, and it seems that they have already discussed it carefully.

Therefore, he is here now only to activate the Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique in front of everyone, so that these people can observe and evaluate the 'strength' of this ability up close.

"In other words... with your current strength, your control over this blood is still very limited. The most obvious point is the distance and range." In the room, the Third Kazekage stared at the few drops of blood floating in Yubi's palm and confirmed.

"That's right... If it's a long-range attack, the longer the distance, the less blood will be drawn while maintaining power and destructiveness." Yubi nodded.

The blood droplets on my hand spun in the air following a specific trajectory.

"You were able to awaken... it must have been triggered instinctively under a life-or-death crisis," Chiyo added.

"Well... I'm not too sure about that either."

Yubi scratched his head.

"Based on what you've said, the main focus of developing your bloodline limit is on its form transformation and potential additional effects. These all rely on chakra and are further enhanced by ninjutsu. In other words, it involves incorporating the core of ninjutsu into your abilities."

"As for other things... such as range and power, as long as your chakra is large enough, just like other ninjutsu, simply using it without any changes will produce effects far exceeding those of others."

The Third Kazekage, after all, was a user of a bloodline limit and was quite knowledgeable about this.

"Growth is growth, but you can't just go out on missions all the time. Training can only enhance your combat experience and understanding of diverse battles, including enriching your analytical abilities regarding ninjutsu. But right now, the most direct way to improve your strength is through your Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique. If you can bring it to an even more amazing level... it's far better than wasting 'time' outside," a high-ranking official said.

"It's not wrong to lay some foundations first... However, after we return to the village, if I have time, we can train together for a while, and I will try my best to train this ability for you."

Feng Ying spoke up.

"Yes."

Yubi nodded.

Afterwards, the group asked him some questions about the Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique.

The main question was about the origin of his bloodline.

And... I want to hear Yubi confirm in person that although this bloodline limit is hereditary, not everyone can awaken it.

"Awakening through a life-or-death battle... I think it won't work. I might just be an exception. After all, my father participated in many battles when he was alive and escaped death many times. If awakening were that easy, I wouldn't be so clueless now."

Yubi said.

Upon hearing this, he clearly noticed a hint of regret in the eyes of the Third Kazekage and the others.

"Not necessarily... You've never had this ability before. We just don't understand your bloodline limit. Perhaps as you grow, we'll be able to find the key to the problem." Ebizo hesitated for a moment.

It's clear that those few... still haven't given up.

"Haha... I'll definitely try my best."

Yubi pretended to cheer herself up.

It was as if they were giving the Third Kazekage and the others a sense of reassurance.

But deep down, he was very disappointed.

The reason he revealed his abilities was because the "bloodline limit" could bring a certain "importance" to his identity, which was of strategic significance to Sunagakure.

If a village could produce a family with a 'bloodline limit'... that would be a particularly direct boost to the Sand Village's fighting strength.

Rather than his previous reforms of hospitals or his own talents...which require a long time to prove their effectiveness.

There is still some uncertainty involved.

In particular, at a time when Sunagakure is severely weakened and its future development is uncertain.

In addition... Yubi also wanted to take this opportunity to experience firsthand the will of the village's leadership.

Let's see who among these people is still worthy of embarking on the great ship of the new era.

And who... can be abandoned?

This public disclosure of his capabilities is also part of a plan, paving the way for his future.

……

After a while, Yubi left the office building.

He explained everything very clearly.

"They're actually willing to let you leave..."

Outside the building, Scorpion crossed his arms over his chest.

As Yubi walked out the door with a relaxed expression, his tense demeanor eased somewhat.

Scorpion thought that with Yubi taken away, the higher-ups would no longer allow him to continue doing missions with him.

Perhaps, in the coming period of time, they will conduct a thorough "study" of Yubi.

"It's not as complicated as you think... People are just curious about my bloodline limit," Yubi laughed.

"snort."

Upon hearing this, Sasori glanced coldly at the rooftop. "The reason he's still willing to let you risk your life on missions is simply because he knows... it's a way to hone you and help you grow stronger sooner. Also... the village suffered heavy losses in this Shinobi World War, and the results weren't optimistic. If you can establish Sunagakure's reputation as a 'genius,' it would undoubtedly boost the village's morale. If the name spreads... it could also salvage some of Sunagakure's lost face, especially for Konoha."

The "he" mentioned in the text... undoubtedly refers to the Third Kazekage.

"But you're still here... If that's your thinking, then aren't you in the same situation as me?" Yubi winked playfully.

"Don't pretend in front of me... You're not ignorant, you just don't want to say it." Scorpion frowned as he looked at Yubi's nonchalant demeanor. "This mission has shown that as long as we're out on missions, there will always be danger... even death. A normal leader would never allow someone like you to leave again... Even though you've done so much, in some people's eyes, your importance is still less valuable than their face..."

"They want you to become someone who can surpass Konoha's peers... This mission has given some people hope, and you are already being used."

"A village that needs its descendants to regain its status... has no reason to exist."

"Shhh."

Yubi gestured for Scorpion to be quiet.

If others overhear this, it could cause trouble.

"Isn't that what you think?"

Scorpion gave Yubi a rare, mocking look.

"A nice guy" is just a disguise for Yubi.

Scorpion figured out a bit of Yubi's true nature.

His mind would occasionally flash back to the completely different aura and expression of Yubi when facing the attacks of Konoha Jonin.

This guy... is a madman who enjoys the thrill of fighting.

It's just that it's hidden quite well.

Moreover, some of the ideas that Yubi occasionally shared during the border mission were quite clear and insightful.

There were some aspects that even he hadn't considered.

How could someone like Yubi be associated with stupidity?

"Just teasing them..."

Yubi peeked around, raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and whispered.

"..."

Scorpion paused for a moment, then snorted.

He was a bit arrogant... but he smiled nonetheless.

But he quickly returned to his expressionless state.

"You keep talking about villages, as if you're not from Sunagakure... I know you're unhappy with some of the village's decisions, but the problem lies with the people, not the village..." Yubi pulled Sasori away quickly, the two small figures walking side by side, Yubi with her hands behind her head, strolling leisurely.

He made a seemingly casual remark.

From Scorpion's words, he sensed that the negative emotions accumulating in the other person's heart were growing stronger.

This time, the Third Kazekage allowed Sasori to continue going out on missions, which made him see the true colors of these people even more clearly.

If things continue like this, as time goes by, Sasori will have no feelings for the village's higher-ups, or even for Sunagakure... at all.

No wonder...the descendants left so resolutely.

Yubi felt... it was time to share some of her thoughts with Scorpion.

This is also the 'opportunity' to tether the scorpion.

We can't drag this out too long... to avoid Scorpion becoming completely disillusioned with the village.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Isn't the meaning quite simple... Since the problem lies with the person, then just get rid of the person with the problem... wouldn't that solve everything? Of course, right now... that's definitely not possible."

Yubi spoke in a very casual tone, yet uttered blasphemous words.

These words are even more dangerous than Scorpion's statement just now.

Upon hearing this, the scorpion suddenly stopped in its tracks.

Looking at Yubi's smiling profile.

"What's wrong?"

Yubi raised an eyebrow. "Is there something on my face?"

"You mean...kill them?"

"I didn't say that, don't frame me..." Yubi smiled.

"..."

Scorpion continued walking forward, as if deep in thought. After a moment… his eyes flashed, “A good method.”

Scorpion's reaction secretly pleased Yubi.

It's stable...

When did you first have this idea?

"Not long, right..."

"When we were heading to the border, the moment I saw you, I knew there was something wrong with you... and my intuition was right."

Scorpion said indifferently.

"The problem isn't just with me, it's with you too, right? I just said what was on your mind, that's called telepathy."

"Don't try to get close to me. I don't think we're that close yet."

"You're saying one thing but meaning another... You were just worried about me a moment ago."

"Your skin is really thick... no wonder you can get along so well with the people in the village."

"I'll take that as a compliment..."

The two walked further and further apart, and their voices grew fainter as the distance increased.

No one knew that on this day, two kids from Sunagakure, in a very casual conversation, had already decided on a plan to purge the power structure of Sunagakure.
