Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Gather intelligence, determine the enemy's activity range, familiarize yourself with the environment... formulate battle plans, execute... kill.

For the next period of time, this was almost the daily routine for Yubi and Sasori.

They have been constantly on the battlefield in the Land of Grass, attacking Konoha's manpower.

Although each time they annihilated only a few people and it wasn't considered a major victory, the number of Konoha ninjas who died at their hands over time was not small.

Gradually... it wasn't just Konoha that knew that the people of Sunagakure were launching sneak attacks on their various units in the Land of Grass.

Even the Hidden Stone Village has heard the news... A three-person Sand Village squad is quite active behind the Konoha battlefield.

Among them, there appear to be two outstanding younger colleagues who are not very old.

On the battlefield, age is not everything when it comes to a ninja... Although Yubi and Sasori are very young, as enemies... whether they are ninjas from Konoha or other villages, they will not be underestimated.

Strength... is what truly matters.

Before we knew it, half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

During these six months, Yubi truly experienced the hardships of fighting on the battlefield for a long time.

To avoid being lured and captured by Konoha, they had to be extremely careful with every move, repeatedly confirming their safety before taking action.

It can be said that regardless of the difficulty of the mission to kill the target, they are always in danger.

Even though they keep shifting their operational areas in the Land of Grass, fearing a reaction from Konoha's local forces, the Land of Grass is not large to begin with. As their operational time increases, the potential crises they face are also rising. If Konoha wants to invest resources to deal with them, it won't be difficult.

Therefore, the three-person team must be extremely sensitive to intelligence and rumors on the battlefield... They must be on guard at the slightest sign of trouble.

In addition, the supplies they could carry were relatively limited, and as time went on and the battles took their toll, their lives became very difficult. In the early stages, they could still obtain or steal items like soldier rations and ninja tools from corpses.

Later on, going hungry became a frequent occurrence.

The mind must also be constantly under high pressure.

……

Inside a disguised cave.

Yubi leaned against the wall, idly playing with his scalpel.

Meanwhile, Scorpion was maintaining the puppet's parts.

As their time together deepened, Yubi gained a better understanding of the puppeteer.

A skilled puppeteer, besides possessing the fundamental skills of controlling puppets, must also be adept at creating puppets.

While other puppeteers might only be able to load or design a few mechanisms onto the same puppet, Scorpion can arm the puppet with mechanisms even in its teeth.

Furthermore, the puppet's own "strength" and the effect it can exert in battle will not be greatly reduced by installing too many mechanisms.

Scorpion truly deserves to be called a puppeteer's genius.

From a large component to a small piece of wood, Scorpion knows everything about it.

The materials used to design and construct the puppets…the items available on the market that can be used for puppets, and…the combat styles and types of roles that he had planned in advance in his mind, and the perfect implementation of them, etc., all these additional abilities were displayed to the fullest extent.

Simply perfect.

In a way, Yubi also felt... that it was indeed art.

Just like medical ninjas, in addition to being able to use medical ninjutsu and demonstrate its powerful effects, extensive medical knowledge is also essential.

Of course, the key to Sasori's ability to make puppetry so unique lies in his ninja 'talent'.

The above only refers to the puppet itself.

Otherwise, even if he can create extraordinary puppets, it will be useless if they are difficult to use.

That's why Yubi thought that way.

As a medical ninja, Sasori had intentionally sought his advice on 'human anatomy' during this time... Clearly, Sasori wanted to apply this knowledge to human puppets.

Although he can now create human puppets, they are only different in appearance and do not have any 'uniqueness'.

What Sasori wanted... was the 'core' that could drive the puppet to perform the ninjutsu it used in its previous life.

This inevitably involves the mystery of 'life'.

Yubi is an expert in this area.

Even though Sasori had laid some foundations because of Chiyo, he was still not on the same level as Yubi.

Yubi was naturally happy to help Sasori create the 'Puppet Core' ahead of time... So, whenever they had free time, the two of them would discuss and experiment with it in private.

Of course, all of this was done with Shinji on his back.

"I've never been away from the village for this long before..."

Yubi sighed.

Scorpion, standing to the side, remained unmoved upon hearing this, assembling the puppet parts one by one and sealing them in the scroll.

"Judging from the recent momentum on the battlefield, Iwagakure probably doesn't intend to fight Konoha to the end; they are very likely to retreat."

After finishing tidying up, Scorpion slowly stood up, his face expressionless as always, and said indifferently.

"I really want to eat Uncle Masao's vinegar rice balls... I've almost forgotten what they taste like."

Yubi licked her lips.

"..."

蝎。

Scorpion is too lazy to even complain about Yubi anymore.

"In the blink of an eye, we're both ten years old. Time flies..."

Yubi sighed again.

"What's going on in your head? Don't forget... you're still on the battlefield."

Scorpion said coldly.

"Know."

Yubi grinned.

At that moment, their expressions changed simultaneously.

A bird called out from outside the cave.

Upon hearing this, Yubi knew that Captain Arai had returned, and responded with a beatboxing performance.

After a moment, having confirmed that everything was alright, Arai walked in from outside.

"The village received news that several battle lines behind the Iwagakure battlefield have been withdrawn."

Arai said.

The reason why their three-person team had been able to operate relatively "smoothly" over the past six months was mainly due to the intelligence sharing among several villages regarding Konoha.

Information from Sunagakure and Iwagakure alone was not enough to allow them to hold out for so long.

This includes some intelligence purchased from the underground black market.

These are all common occurrences on the battlefields of the ninja world.

This Ninja World War was extremely brutal on the surface, but it also provided a livelihood for many organizations that made a living by selling information.

This is one of the reasons why there are so many ninjas and rogue ninjas from other countries appearing in the Land of Grass right now.

"Is it almost over..."

Although Yubi had anticipated this, he still said something.

This led to open warfare between the ninja villages.

Only Kumogakure and Konoha remain.

In the end, Iwagakure still failed to gain any advantage over Konoha.

This also shows that Orochimaru, as one of the Legendary Sannin, was not only powerful in his own right, but also extremely skilled in military strategy as a battlefield commander.

It can be said that, judging solely from Orochimaru's contribution to the village during the Second Shinobi World War, he has always been of paramount importance.

"Orochimaru also contributed to the future three wars... He is qualified to take over the Hokage position... It's a pity..." A thought flashed through Yubi's mind.

This may also be one of the reasons why Orochimaru left Konoha.

Even after doing so much, he still hasn't received recognition... It seems that even the lower-class people of Konoha don't have much affection for him.

Yubi's plans in Sunagakure were largely inspired by Orochimaru's failure to become Hokage.

Besides meritorious service, cultivating good interpersonal relationships is also very important.

Minato Namikaze, Naruto... are all examples of this.

"Let's go... erase all traces, mission officially over."

"We need to leave now, otherwise, once the two villages withdraw their troops, Konoha, which will have spare resources, will definitely target us!"

Arai said.

"it is good."
