The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

"Peng!"

They easily closed in on these light ninjas and killed them with precision and efficiency!

In less than ten seconds.

Those light ninjas who pressed forward to Sasori's vicinity almost all met a violent end.

Only the last one, the commander of the advance force, wearing the latest third-generation chakra armor—of which there are only about a hundred in the entire village—barely managed to evade Sasori's deadly attack.

This included a puppet using an Earth Release enhancement technique to forcefully strike the Jonin in the abdomen.

They failed to kill this Jonin from Hidden Light Village.

"Huh? So this is the legendary chakra armor? It does have some merit."

Scorpion showed a faint look of surprise, and a rare hint of interest appeared in his pupils.

It is virtually impossible for any ninjutsu, unless it is above the standard, to break through the defense of this chakra armor.

An attack enhanced by the Earth Release enhancement technique.

It was only because of the physical impact that this Jonin was injured.

If it were simply a technique evolved from chakra, given Sasori's power level, it would be impossible for him to harm this Jonin.

"It's a pity this armor can't cover the whole body, is it!?"

However, this is not a problem for Scorpion at all, as the puppeteer's specialty is precision strikes!

The torso and limbs were well protected!?

Let's start with the head!

Attack from the throat.

There is no one Sasori of the Red Sand who he wants to kill that he cannot defeat.

A chakra thread pulled gently.

"Whoosh!"

"whoosh"

Two menacing, dark brown puppets, positioned from the front and back, lunged down at lightning speed.

"!?"

It was obvious that this Jonin was a little slow to react.

"Whoosh!"

next moment!

In the blink of an eye.

A golden flash appeared and arrived.

"Spiral pills!"

In mid-air.

A rapidly spinning ball of chakra, condensed with a single hand, flickered in the air.

"Peng!"

"Crack!"

They easily destroyed the two puppets that were attacking the Hidden Light Village Jonin.

"Are you alright?"

"Lord Minato! I'm fine, nothing's wrong."

Seeing that gentle face and hearing those peaceful words.

This Jonin from Hidden Light Village also showed a look of surprise. His own Tenkage's father was none other than the once-famous Golden Flash—Minato Namikaze.

"You can step back now, I'll take care of this."

Minato nodded slightly.

"Yes, Lord Minato!"

Knowing full well that staying might not help Minato and could even be a hindrance, this Jonin decisively lowered his head in agreement and then vanished from the spot.

"Minato Namikaze!"

Scorpion, however, didn't care at all about the departing shrimp. Looking at Minato, who had reappeared in the same spot, the genius puppeteer's eyes were filled with regret.

This is perfect material for creating puppets.

Unfortunately, it's just an impure body, not a real physical body.

"A black robe with a fiery cloud base, red hair, and the ability to control so many puppets—it seems you must be the Akatsuki members Menma mentioned, the former genius puppeteer from Sunagakure—Sasori."

Minato looked calmly at Sasori in the opposite position and said.

Although Sasori is not particularly famous in the ninja world, as the grandson of the highly respected Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure, he still receives a certain amount of attention from the high-ranking officials of various ninja villages. It should be said that various countries have different levels of information collection on the high-ranking officials and their families of other countries' ninja villages.

This is for unforeseen circumstances.

Minato was the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. Sasori was almost Minato's contemporary in terms of age. The disappearance of the Third Kazekage was full of mysteries and later became the fuse for the Third Shinobi World War. Although it was not the root cause, it was the final straw that triggered the war. Minato would naturally pay some attention to Sasori.

Sometimes.

You don't need evidence to suspect something.

All that is needed is to have doubts.

Especially in relations between countries.

It's not about proving whether you did it or not, but simply that if you have the ability and the motive, you will definitely be a suspect.

"Minato Namikaze, I didn't expect to run into you here. What a pity, I actually always wanted to turn you into a puppet back then. After all, there aren't many ninjas who can use space-time ninjutsu, and you would have been excellent material!"

Scorpion looked at Minato with an obvious fanaticism.

The eternal art that the scorpion pursues.

It requires countless high-quality materials to constantly push one's limits. In Scorpion's view, puppet life is the most perfect form, free from all the troubles of a mortal human body, and even more likely to step into the realm of immortality that all humans dream of.

He is somewhat similar to Orochimaru.

Because of war, because of the death of loved ones, Scorpion saw the fragility and limits of humanity.

He was afraid, he longed!

Chasing after that highest level.

The puppet is the path he has chosen.

This can be seen from the fact that he made himself into a nearly 100% human puppet.

Sasori had heard of the Impure World Reincarnation technique of Konoha Village. This forbidden technique, which can summon the souls of the dead back to the present world, was exactly what Sasori needed. He wanted to keep researching and trying to see if the Impure World Reincarnation technique could be perfectly combined with his puppetry technique!

If it were possible.

He will then be able to truly realize his past ideas!

This is also one of the real reasons why Sasori joined Akatsuki. Only Akatsuki could provide him with the necessary resources for research without regard to cost, and only Akatsuki could allow him to do whatever he wanted without restraint.

All it takes is some time and effort.

Scorpion thinks it makes perfect sense!

Now, with the resurrection of Madara Uchiha, a ninja world demon, within the Akatsuki organization, Sasori's inner turmoil has been further agitated.

These are all his materials!

These were all excellent choices for him to reach the top and realize his dreams.

therefore!

The scorpion craves everything.

The sudden chilling aura was only masked by a faint hint of ruthlessness in his pupils.

Scorpion doesn't waste any words.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

With a pull and a snap of both hands.

All around, countless puppets were charging toward the water gate.

Although Minato is not a living person and cannot be used as a puppet, the Impure World Reincarnation technique is something Sasori craves. Capturing Minato here should provide valuable data for his experiments.

For Shuimen...

It's even better that the enemy isn't a former ally of Konoha.

"Buzz!"

Between flips.

A specially made kunai appeared in the palm of his hand.

"boom!"

At the same time, an extremely strong chakra burst forth from his body.

"Shh!"

"Whoosh!"

An extremely dazzling golden light constantly pierced through Scorpion's puppets.

Minato Namikaze, as one of the top Kage-level fighters, has only one weakness: he lacks powerful offensive methods. When facing creatures like the Tailed Beasts, especially the Nine-Tails with its extremely strong defenses, he is almost powerless.

But if it's against humans...

Even if the opponent is one of the best in the Super Shadow level.

Minato, who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, is a force to be reckoned with.
