Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master!

Scorpion thought that this time it would take at least a few days.

Sunagakure is located in the heart of the Land of Wind, surrounded by endless desert.

Even if Payne immediately dispatched personnel after receiving the message, it was impossible for the personnel to be in place instantly, from issuing the order to getting on the road.

For Scorpio, who always hates waiting, this should have been a frustrating period of emptiness.

Just after noon, a familiar orange mask suddenly appeared at the entrance of the old house.

"Oh my god! Deidara-senpai! Sasori-senpai!"

Before they even entered the house, Obito raised his arms and waved them vigorously across most of the yard.

"So you two really do live here! The leader sent me to support you again! Didn't expect to meet you so soon, did you?"

Scorpion leaned against the eaves, watching the lively creature jumping around, and remained silent for a moment.

Payne sending this buffoon to help him? Impossible!

Are you kidding me?

What good is this guy besides being a clown? When did Payne's decision become so absurd?

Deidara, on the other hand, felt no psychological burden whatsoever.

He was sitting idly in the yard kneading clay when he saw an acquaintance come over, which made him more energetic.

"Hey, isn't this Afei?"

"Deidara-senpai is still so enthusiastic!"

Scorpion couldn't be bothered to listen to their pointless small talk.

He stepped out from under the eaves, his gaze lingering on the orange mask for a moment.

"Did Payne really send you?"

Obito chuckled and patted his chest, saying, "How could it be false? It was an order personally given by Boss Pain. I had just finished my mission on the outskirts of the Land of Wind, which isn't far from here, so I rushed over as soon as I received the message."

Upon hearing this, Scorpion became even more suspicious.

Is it really that much of a coincidence?

Do you know why you've come here?

"Of course I know." Obito swayed and said with a grin, "It's just about helping the two seniors control the Jinchuriki. Pain specifically told me that Sasori and Deidara couldn't handle the One-Tailed Beast, so they asked the organization for help and sent the wise and mighty Tobi to solve the problem."

As he spoke, he even bent his arm in a serious manner, comparing the muscles that were barely visible.

"Don't worry, seniors. As long as A-Fei takes action, Yiwei can easily handle it!"

It's highly questionable how many of these statements were actually made by Payne himself.

"fart!"

Deidara said with dissatisfaction, "Who can't handle a Jinchuriki? Sasori and I are doing perfectly well here. The plan was set up long ago. When did we ever ask the organization for help? Tobi, you need to explain yourself clearly today, hmm!"

Faced with Deidara's rage, Obito remained completely calm and even pressed down with both hands.

"Oh dear, Deidara-senpai, don't be so angry. Whether or not they called for help, just ask Sasori-senpai, and you'll know."

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Deidara stared stiffly at Sasori, who remained silent to the side.

"Could this kid be telling the truth?"

scorpion:"……"

He remained silent for a moment, then finally turned his face away.

"It's nothing. I just asked Pain for some sealing support this morning. It has nothing to do with not being able to deal with Jinchuriki."

Deidara's eyes widened. "It really is you?"

Obito nodded repeatedly beside him, eager to stir up trouble: "That's right, it's true."

Scorpion ignored him.

Although Payne was a man of few words, he never made any meaningless arrangements.

Since Ah Fei has been brought back, there must be a reason why.

Moreover, Sasori had some understanding of the abilities of the Akatsuki's official members.

Only Afei, the trainee who appeared halfway through, has always worn that comical mask since joining the organization. Apart from making jokes, he has almost never shown his true abilities in front of others.

Perhaps this guy is indeed hiding some trump card he doesn't want anyone to know.

Sasori abandoned his initial disdain and asked directly, "Tobi, do you know how to reinforce the Tailed Beast seal?"

"No," Obito answered with unusual frankness. "Sealing techniques are so complex, how could I possibly learn them?"

The glimmer of expectation in Scorpion's eyes immediately faded.

"I knew it." Deidara rolled his eyes. "So, after all this time, you're just here to fool around, huh?"

"Wait, wait, I haven't finished yet!"

Obito held up a finger, deliberately adopting a mysterious look, and said, "I certainly don't know how to strengthen the seal, but I have a way to make the One-Tailed Beast behave, and I can guarantee that I will only suppress the tailed beast and will not harm the Jinchūriki."

Scorpion's expression changed slightly.

He never expected to solve all of Gaara's problems at once.

As long as Tobi can suppress Shukaku without damaging the Jinchūriki, allowing Gaara to truly get a good night's sleep, that will be enough.

As for fully reinforcing the seal, that's something for later.

Scorpion turned and walked towards the door, saying calmly, "Come with me."

He doesn't need to figure out directions at all.

During this time, the bird puppet circling above Sunagakure kept a close eye on Gaara's every move.

By simply pulling the chakra threads, he can see the target's location through the bird puppet's eyes.

Sasori was the first to leap out of the old house. Deidara and Obito exchanged a glance, not expecting him to be in such a hurry, and could only quickly follow.

The three of them headed west along the Sunagakure Street, passing through several narrow alleys, and soon entered the old town.

The houses here are much lower than those in the main urban area, with exposed mud bricks that are pitted and uneven, and piles of loose sand that no one has cleaned up in the corners.

At noon, there were hardly any pedestrians on the street.

Just as they crossed a fork in the road, Scorpion's steps suddenly slowed down.

From the bird puppet's high vantage point, a familiar figure appeared.

He has short, silver-gray hair, round-framed glasses, and habitually walks with his head slightly lowered.

The man had just emerged from a secluded alley in the old town. He glanced around before walking along the wall.

Who else could it be but Yakushi Kabuto?

The scorpion immediately stopped in its tracks.

The next moment, he changed direction and rushed straight towards the alley where Kabuto was.

Dou was once his most prized pawn.

A high-ranking spy whose memories were partially sealed by brain manipulation, who had been infiltrating Orochimaru's inner circle for many years according to his arrangements.

At least that's what Scorpion always thought, and he was even quite satisfied with his arrangements back then.

Based on the previous encounter in the dense forest of the Land of Fire and the information obtained in the dream, Kabuto is clearly closer to Orochimaru.

Kabuto's respectful stance behind Orochimaru and Orochimaru's matter-of-fact attitude when protecting Kabuto both indicate that they knew each other much earlier than Sasori imagined.

There's even a possibility that this was all a carefully orchestrated scheme by Orochimaru from beginning to end.

Kabuto might not have been a pawn he planted next to Orochimaru at all, but rather an eye that Orochimaru turned around and sent to him.

He, Sasori of the Red Sand, was fooled for years by a bespectacled brat.

Thinking of this, a cold chakra fluctuation emanated from the regeneration core in Scorpion's chest.

However, he is now more relieved than anything else.

The closer the relationship between Kabuto and Orochimaru, the more useful he becomes.

Once you take the bag off and follow the line back, that stinky snake won't be able to hide so easily anymore.

The fact that Sunagakure suffered such a huge loss in the Konoha Chunin Exams was entirely Orochimaru's doing.

Moreover, at this critical juncture, what could Kabuto be sneaking around in the old town of Sunagakure for?

Even a fool could guess that Orochimaru was definitely involved in this matter.

Sasori had already given up the pursuit for the sake of Sunagakure's mission, and even reluctantly accepted Konan's advice not to attack Orochimaru for the time being.

Who knew that instead of going to find that stinky snake, it seemed that the other party had reached out to his mission location.

First, take off his helmet and find out what he wants to do by infiltrating Sunagakure.

If Orochimaru truly disrupted the organization's plans first, then naturally the score can be recalculated.

The scorpion's speed increased even further.

Deidara and Obito followed behind, and were somewhat puzzled when he suddenly changed direction and increased his speed without warning.

"Hey, Sasori, what are you up to now? Aren't we going to find the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, huh?"

The scorpion did not answer.

Deidara could only give Obito a wink.

The two of them sped up and followed closely behind.

With the bird puppets high in the sky guiding it, Scorpion had no chance of losing track of its target.

Not long after, the three of them spotted Dou in another secluded alley.

In a corner where the sun couldn't reach, Dou was half-squatting on the ground, holding an inconspicuous piece of gravel, seemingly setting up some kind of secret signal at the base of the wall.

Obito's eyes narrowed for a moment behind the mask, but he still exaggeratedly said, "Huh? Isn't that Kabuto? What's he doing in Sunagakure?"

Deidara tilted his head and looked at the other person a few times, feeling that the other person looked somewhat familiar.

He hadn't been with Akatsuki for long, and only knew from the occasional snippets of information Sasori revealed that Sasori and Orochimaru were at odds, but he didn't know much about Kabuto's specific identity.

"Aren't we going to find a Jinchuriki?" Deidara scratched his head. "Why are you suddenly chasing this shifty-eyed guy? Wait, isn't this four-eyed guy... the one who was with Orochimaru last time?"

"That's right." Sasori stared at Kabuto's back and said coldly, "Since Kabuto is here, that stinky snake is probably nearby too."

The moment Sasori's murderous intent was revealed, Kabuto sensed the danger.

Dou didn't turn around, nor did he waste time confirming who it was.

He loosened his grip, abandoning the unfinished signal, and with a heavy tap of his toes on the sand, he sped forward, hugging the alley wall.

"Trying to run away?"

Deidara's eyes lit up, and his right hand immediately reached into the clay bag at his waist.

It chewed a few times in the palm of its mouth and quickly spat out a palm-sized white clay bird.

Having a rare opportunity to get his hands dirty these few days, he immediately prepared to throw the clay bird away.

"Stop, Deidara!"

Scorpion raised his arm to block him.

"Hey, Sasori, what are you doing now?" Deidara said with displeasure as he watched Kabuto run further and further away. "If we don't blow him up soon, this kid is really going to get away, huh!"

"Don't use bombs in the village. Let him run away. Make your move after he leaves Sunagakure."

Deidara curled his lip and said, "What a nuisance. How come you've developed so many problems since joining Sunagakure?"

Despite his complaints, he still put the clay bird away.

"Don't worry, he can't escape."

Scorpion watched Kabuto's departing figure and flicked his sleeves.

Click! Click! Click!

Three crisp clicks of the mechanisms rang out in succession.

Three palm-sized bird puppets slid out from the sleeve, their thin wings unfurling in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, they flew into the sky, blocking the escape route from the left, right, and rear.

With these three pairs of eyes watching, unless Kabuto can burrow underground on the spot, there is absolutely no way he can escape Scorpion's pursuit.

The three of them hung leisurely behind, always maintaining a distance from Dou.

Kabuto drove through the old town, crossed the last border of Sunagakure, and headed straight for the desert outside the village.

Once Deidara arrived here, he tossed the clay bird he had previously put away into the air, and the small white bird swelled up in the wind.

He leaped onto the bird's back and chased after it, skimming low over the sand dunes.

At noon, the desert resembles a giant, red-hot cauldron.

The rolling sand dunes were bleached white by the scorching sun, and waves of heat rolled along the ground. As far as the eye could see, apart from the fine sand whipped up by the wind, there was not a trace of green.

Once outside the village, Scorpion stopped deliberately slowing down.

"The distance is enough."

He suddenly exerted force with his feet, and his figure swept past the top of the sand dune.

In the blink of an eye, Scorpion had circled around from the side to the front of Kabuto, landing steadily on top of a sand dune, blocking his path.

They stopped at the foot of the sand dune.

Having rushed all the way here, his chakra was quite depleted.

The round-framed glasses, reflecting the midday white light, perfectly obscured the view behind the lenses.

The scorpion looked down at its prey, which had nowhere to escape, and let out a cold laugh.

"Why have you stopped running? Have you finally come to your senses and are ready to surrender?"

A sound of flapping wings came from mid-air.

Deidara arrived from behind on his clay bird, landing lightly on another sand dune, blocking Kabuto's last escape route with Sasori.

Scorpion glanced behind him: "Where's A-Fei?"

"That idiot?" Deidara looked around, shrugged, and said, "When he chased after us out of the village, he seemed to trip over something. He's probably still scrambling around behind us, yeah."

Scorpion wasn't surprised at all: "He's definitely a newbie."

It doesn't matter whether Afei comes or not.

They've already cornered us here; having one more trainee dragging us down won't change the outcome.

Sasori looked at Kabuto again, his voice no longer concealing his murderous intent: "Ready to die?"

Despite being attacked from both sides by two official members of the Akatsuki organization, Tobi showed little panic on his face.

The wind swept through the sand dunes, ruffling his short, silver-gray hair.

Dou raised his hand, used his index finger to push the slightly slipped round-framed glasses back onto the bridge of his nose, and even chuckled softly.

"Lord Scorpion, you are as arrogant as ever."

His voice was very calm, even mocking: "Before sentencing me to death, have you considered another possibility?"

"I stopped, not because I had nowhere else to run."

"It's because I've already led you both to where you were meant to be."

Scorpion's eyes darkened.

trap?

The next moment, a chilling voice came from the shadows of the sand dunes behind the scorpion.

"Ten fingers piercing through bullets."

In the shadows of the dunes, a pale hand was facing the scorpion.

Several gray bone bullets did not shoot out from the ten fingers, but instead condensed in the palm of the hand and shot towards the target with a sharp whooshing sound.

Sasori of the Red Sand did not turn around. The Spiral Slash hidden at his lower back suddenly popped out, and several steel blades unfolded to the sides. Accompanied by the high-speed rotation of the mechanism axis, they wove a cold curtain of blades behind him.

Clang! Clang!

Several dull impacts rang out in succession, and the incoming projectiles were swept away by the rotating blades.

Scorpion looked down and saw that what had fallen on the sand was not his sword, but several light gray bone bullets.

The main body of the bone bullet still maintains a regular cylindrical shape, but the front end has been forcibly pressed into a sharp cone.

After the ashes landed, fine white smoke immediately rose from the surrounding yellow sand.

The pungent smell spread with the hot wind, and in the blink of an eye, it corroded several charred, shallow pits into the sand.

Scorpion glanced down at the Spiral Slash.

Several small marks have appeared on the blade where it collided with the ash bones.

Could it corrode his specially made alloy?

What kind of bone is this?

The scorpion's contempt vanished completely.

He turned around and looked at the attacker.

A white-haired boy in a kimono is walking slowly from behind the sand dunes, his palms still raised forward.

It was Kimimaro.

What bothered Sasori even more was that when Kimimaro looked over, his two scarlet eyes were clearly visible in the sunlight.

The three magatama slowly rotated around the dark pupils, taking in every tiny movement of Sasori and Deidara.

The Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) combined with the Uchiha clan's three-tomoe Sharingan?

Even with Scorpion's knowledge, he found the combination before him utterly absurd.

Taking advantage of Sasori's attention being focused on Kimimaro, Kabuto quietly retreated and quickly circled behind the white-haired boy.

"I'm leaving it to you, Kimimaro. These two are not easy to deal with, so be careful. If I stay here, I'll only be a hindrance."

Kimimaro did not turn around, but simply nodded slightly.

The next moment, he flipped his hands outwards, and two sharp bone spurs with a light gray hue emerged from his palms.

Even under the blazing sun, the grayish-white bone structure remained dull and without any luster.
