Chapter 49 Why are you forcing me? Brother Scorpion
Ayame immediately noticed and hurriedly exclaimed:
"Souji! Watch out!"
Before she could speak, the Chunin corpse had already leaped up and lunged at Souji with a kunai in its hand!
"Don't worry, I know."
Souji didn't even glance at it, casually blocking the attack with a kunai, and then with a flick of his wrist, he flung the 'Chunin' away!
Mochizuki Ryuu has no battle strategy - Flowing!
"Shadow Binding Technique!"
Nara Suzaku gave a low shout, and his shadow quickly extended towards the flying 'Chunin'.
However, the next moment, Suzaku's expression changed slightly.
"Huh!? What is this...?"
"puppet."
Souji lightly tossed a handful of kunai and laughed:
"Let's meet up, Sasori of the Red Sand!"
The kunai flew towards an empty direction, when a puppet disguised as a Chunin corpse jumped up and blocked its way.
However, Kunai changed direction, gently bypassed the puppet, and continued flying forward.
Until it was about to hit the wall.
A figure emerged from the wall and raised its hand.
With a soft "thud," the figure managed to block the kunai at the cost of having his palm pierced.
"Damn it, that hurts... This flesh and blood body is such a hassle..."
A figure emerged from the shadows, appearing before the crowd as a handsome, red-haired youth.
It was Sasori, the genius puppeteer of Sunagakure.
It was also the trigger for this Ninja World War, and the real culprit behind the disappearance of the Third Kazekage.
A ruthless person who successfully assassinated the Third Kazekage at the age of 15, causing the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War!
Sasori pulled out the kunai, casually tossed it to the ground, looked Souji up and down a few times, and frowned, saying:
Who are you?
Why do you know me?
Although Sasori is extremely strong, he is too young and has not had the opportunity to participate in the last Shinobi World War.
The S-rank missions he carried out were also classified.
Therefore, his reputation was limited to Sunagakure and he was not very well noticed in other ninja villages.
He was just regarded as an ordinary Jonin and Chiyo's genius grandson.
So at this moment, Sasori was indeed quite puzzled.
Why did this Konoha ninja recognize him without even seeing his face?
Souji smiled and looked at Sasori, but although he appeared relaxed, he was actually having a headache inside.
Unexpectedly, after avoiding Chiyo, they ran into Sasori, an even more powerful and dangerous puppeteer!
There was nothing he could do about it; he only discovered it after he came in.
When I killed the Sand Village ninja in the warehouse with kunai, I could tell from Ayame's senses that they were still ordinary living ninjas.
However, when I entered the warehouse, I discovered that several Chunin corpses had been replaced with puppets by using the crisis perception and disguise skills that the system had previously rewarded me with.
This happened after he killed Sunagakure and Ayame lost her senses.
More than a dozen ninjas, including two Jonin, were instantly killed.
Seeing his strength, the one who dared to use a puppet to ambush him was definitely not an ordinary ninja.
Judging from his intuition, it was highly likely that it was not Chiyo, so the only one at this level could be Sasori.
At this point, Sasori had already killed the Third Kazekage and was now a rogue ninja from Sunagakure.
He had originally planned to replace the Chunin corpses with puppets, not necessarily targeting them, but perhaps intending to cause trouble for Sunagakure.
In addition, if he left directly, it would mean that he had noticed something, and Sasori would probably kill them.
So Souji pretended to be completely unaware and carried out the Zero-Ryo purchase event normally, thinking that maybe in this way, Sasori would let them leave.
But in the end, Sasori still attacked them.
It can only be said that the ninja world is indeed dangerous, and accidents can happen anywhere.
However, since it has already happened, there's nothing we can do but try to get through this situation.
The Souji revealed a mysterious smile and said:
"I am Mochizuki Souji. As you can see, I am a Konoha ninja.
There's no particular reason why I know you.
You, Sasori of the Red Sand, are nobody either.
It's not surprising that I recognize you, is it? But you…"
"As far as I know, you must be a rogue ninja from Sunagakure, right?
Why are you here?"
"This is none of your business, and..."
Sasori gently raised his hand, and with the pull of chakra threads, five puppets disguised as corpses rose from the ground and surrounded Souji and the other three.
"Now that you know who I am, do you really think you have the time to care about this kind of thing?"
"Souji!" The three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio looked solemn.
Although Sasori was not well-known in their minds, when they actually faced him, his powerful aura and dangerous presence made them immediately realize that he was an extremely powerful enemy!
Souji waved his hand to signal them to calm down, and at the same time waved the kunai, saying to Sasori:
"Calm down, let's talk this out.
You're strong, but we're not weak either.
You're no longer a member of Sunagakure, so we don't seem to have any reason to fight, right?
How about we pretend we've never met and just let it go?
What do you think?"
"Hehe... Come to think of it, that does seem to be the case, but..."
Sasori sneered and reached for the large scroll at his waist.
At this moment, Souji threw the kunai directly, and Sasori sneered again, controlling five puppets to come in front of him, while leaving a clone in place, and his main body used the Body Flicker Technique to hide in another place.
The five puppets were arranged in a pentagonal shape.
With Sasori's massive chakra output, a powerful suction force was generated in the hollow center of the pentagon!
Puppet Technique: Naraku Wind Tunnel!
This is a simplified version of the puppet technique "Three Seals " by Sasori, which was modified by him based on his grandmother Chiyo's puppet technique.
Although the suction power is slightly inferior to that of "Three Seals", it does not require high-quality puppets like the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters.
Even some ordinary puppets that are made at random can perform this secret technique.
At this moment, Sasori smiled with complete confidence, as if he could already see the kunai being sucked into the Wind Cave and then torn to shreds!
Just now it was only because I was careless for a moment.
It was just a mere kunai.
How could it possibly hurt me again and again, a genius puppeteer who could even kill the Third Kazekage?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
As Sasori thought this, the kunai flew into the Naraku Wind Cave just as he had expected.
"Hmph! A mere kunai..."
Sasori sneered, about to utter a sarcastic remark, but the next moment...
The kunai passed directly through the wind cave!
It aimed directly at his body! The speed was incredible! And… it was completely unharmed!
"???"
Sasori stared wide-eyed, as if he had seen a ghost, his face filled with disbelief!
The Naraku Wind Cave seems to be having no effect at all!?
With the suction power of the wind cave, it should be able to suck in not only a kunai, but even an object a hundred times larger!
But why did the kunai just pass through like that?!
That's impossible!
Sasori had already reached for the large scroll behind his waist, intending to unfold it and take out a powerful puppet, but the kunai was approaching him, so he had to quickly put his hands back in front of him to form a hand seal!
At that moment, Souji's calm voice rang out.
"But what? You find me interesting and want to turn me into your human puppet collection, is that it?"
"I really didn't want to start a fight with you out of the blue, why did you force me, Brother Sasori?"
"Since you're pressing me so hard, I'll have no choice but to play along."
"Shadow Clone Technique - 100-Hit Combo!"
In an instant, the number of kunai increased to one hundred!
