Chapter 39 Scorpion vs. 3rd Generation Kazekage
Chisuke felt uncomfortable being grabbed by the collar, but he still nodded heavily: "Teacher, I saw it with my own eyes, there's absolutely no mistake!"
Yekura put Chisuke down on the ground, cautiously observed the surroundings, and only spoke slowly after confirming that no one was eavesdropping.
"There are many amazing ninjutsu in the ninja world. What you see with your own eyes may not be the truth. Remember that. Tell me the whole story in detail."
Chisuke said, "I remember you, teacher."
Then, Chisuke recounted the whole story, bit by bit.
A few days ago, Sensuke returned to the village after completing his mission. While passing by a sand dune, he accidentally discovered that Sasori had ambushed a Sand Ninja but failed to kill him. Subsequently, the Sand Ninja who was attacked seemed to have forgotten the attack, showing no unusual behavior and not reporting the attack to the village.
"Teacher, I was also worried that I might have made a mistake, so I observed for several days to make sure I hadn't misread it before reporting to you."
After listening, Yecang frowned: "Who were the Sand Ninja who were attacked?"
"I inquired, and her name is Yura."
"Yura?! It's him!"
Yekura was somewhat surprised to hear the name.
Yura, a Chunin, is quite strong. I heard he will be promoted to Jonin this year, and he is one of the people the village is focusing on cultivating. I didn't expect him to be so easily controlled by Sasori.
That Scorpion guy, he clearly has such great talent and strength, but he uses it to harm his companions, he deserves to die!
Yekura immediately stood up, preparing to report to Kazekage, but was stopped by Sensuke.
“Teacher, Sasori is Chiyo’s grandson. Chiyo and Ebi are very powerful in the village. If we don’t prepare properly and rashly report them to the Kazekage, we may be retaliated against.”
According to Chisuke's idea, Yekura should secretly investigate Sasori, gather more evidence of Sasori's crimes, and then report him to the Kazekage when Sasori's crimes become more numerous and serious, preferably implicating Chiyo in the matter.
In the present-day Sunagakure, apart from the Kazekage's direct descendants, the strongest faction is represented by Chiyo and Rasa, while some powerful young ninjas like Pakura are third-party forces.
If Chiyo's faction can be defeated, Yoko's status will be elevated, and as Yoko's disciple, Chisuke will also receive more benefits.
At present, Sasori's sins may not be serious enough, and Chiyo and the others can easily get away with it.
However, Chisuke's words were directly rejected by Yōkō, who even reprimanded him.
"Chisuke, as Sand Villagers, we must put the interests of the village first and never harm the village for our own benefit. The longer this goes on, the more damage Sasori will cause and the more Sand Villagers will be harmed. This matter cannot be delayed."
"Yes, teacher! I will definitely correct my mistakes!"
Chisuke had a solemn expression, looking like he had turned over a new leaf, but in his heart he didn't think so.
Teacher, oh teacher, it was because you were too selfless that you suffered such a tragic fate.
When Rasa betrayed you, he didn't think about the village's interests at all, nor did he care that losing you would weaken the Sand Village's strength. He only thought about eliminating dissidents.
Chisuke followed Yekura to the Third Kazekage and told him about Sasori. The Kazekage took it very seriously and was furious.
"Chiyo really raised a good grandson. Now that all the major ninja villages are stirring up trouble, this kind of thing has happened within our own ranks. Damn it!"
Kazekage, considering the serious consequences of this matter, ordered Yekura: "Yekura, Sensuke, you two immediately monitor Sasori. Report any situation directly to me. This is an S-rank mission, so be careful."
Because he didn't know how many people were involved, nor did he know the role Chiyo played, the Kazekage didn't immediately mobilize his direct subordinates, fearing that making too much of a fuss would alert the enemy.
Of course, once the affected area is confirmed, Fengying will definitely strike swiftly and decisively to resolve the problem.
In the midst of turmoil in the ninja world, the Kazekage must not allow any internal threats to emerge.
In the days that followed, Yekura and Chisuke carefully monitored Sasori, reporting the information one by one.
After conducting a thorough investigation, the Kazekage learned that Chiyo was not involved. He immediately summoned his subordinates and surrounded Sasori at the base.
Because of the swift action, many people were unaware that the Kazekage had left the village. Half a day later, Chiyo learned that the Kazekage and a large number of elites were missing, and only then did she realize that something serious had happened. She sent people to search for the Kazekage's whereabouts.
"Heh, I didn't expect to be discovered so quickly. You guys aren't as useless as I thought."
In the scorching desert, Sasori emerged from his stronghold inside the mountain, facing dozens of menacing Sand Ninja without fear.
"Scorpion, you used puppetry to harm the village's ninjas! Surrender now, or you'll be killed without mercy!"
Feng Ying stood in front of the crowd, his robes fluttering in the wind. Clumps of black iron sand appeared around him, constantly changing shape, ready to attack at any moment.
Chisuke stood in the corner at the back, looking like he was watching a show.
"Is this Magnet Release? The Kazekage relied on Magnet Release ninjutsu to dominate the ninja world and earn the title of the strongest Kazekage. Logically speaking, Magnet Release should be able to counter Puppet Technique. I wonder what method Sasori used to kill the Third Kazekage in the manga."
"However, Kishimoto is just a manga artist, what does he know about ninjutsu? He probably just came up with the plot on a whim."
Yekura was right next to Sensuke. Seeing that Sensuke was somewhat distracted, she warned him, "A ninja cannot take any battle lightly. Even with the Kazekage here, you still need to concentrate."
Chisuke, regaining his composure, nodded and said, "Received!"
While Chisuke was speaking, Sasori had already opened the scroll and summoned twenty puppets.
Sasori spread his hands, and dense chakra threads appeared on his fingers, connecting with the puppets. The puppets stood in two rows, blocking Sasori's way.
These puppets are humanoid, some resemble birds and wild beasts, and some resemble insects.
The number of puppets a puppeteer can control generally represents their strength, so the Sand Ninja were shocked. They never expected Sasori to be able to control so many puppets in battle, and they all took the situation very seriously.
Yekura looked at Scorpion with complicated emotions, feeling extremely heartbroken.
"Scorpion is only thirteen years old, yet he already possesses such strength, far surpassing that of an ordinary Jonin. It's such a pity."
Chisuke disagreed with what Yekura said.
This is nothing; Scorpion is still far from his peak strength.
By transforming his body into a puppet and freeing himself from the limitations of a human, Scorpion reached the pinnacle of his power.
Seeing that Scorpion dared to use force to arrest him, Fengying snorted coldly and formed hand seals.
"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Rain!"
The iron sand surrounding the wind and shadow formed countless fine needles that shot out over a very wide area, creating black waves.
Scorpion was shocked by Kazekage's attack, but he reacted quickly, his ten fingers dancing like elves.
"Crimson Secret Technique: Barrier!"
Numerous puppets gathered together, their joints constantly rotating, their body structures dispersing and reorganizing, filling all the gaps and forming an impenetrable wall that protected Scorpion behind them.
Iron shot relentlessly bombarded the walls, the whistling, crashing, and shattering sounds of puppets echoing throughout, stirring up thick dust and smoke that obscured the vision of both sides.
"It's resolved!"
“I saw that the wall was completely destroyed; the scorpion must be dead.”
"As expected of the Kazekage, such a powerful attack lasted for a full minute. No one could possibly withstand that!"
"This is our strongest Kazekage!"
The Kazekage's powerful attack greatly boosted the morale of the Sand Ninja, who, feeling that the battle was over, unconsciously lowered their guard.
