Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Unseen by all the Sand Village ninjas and villagers, an eyeball was watching the Sand Village crowd from high above.

On a small sand dune, a few miles away from the Sand Village ninjas and villagers,

A young puppet with short, bright red hair stood on a sand dune, a fresh flesh core engraved with the character for scorpion embedded in its left chest.

Its entire body was covered with hidden weapons and mechanisms, its abdomen concealed poisonous spikes and steel cables, and its waist and back were covered with gleaming blades.

This is a scorpion, the Red Sand Scorpion.

At this moment, Sasori is using the secret technique of the Kazekage lineage—the Third Eye—to scout the migration of Sunagakure villagers and ninjas.

Scorpion wants to hunt these people and turn them all into members of his puppet empire.

What could be more artistic than turning a former fellow villager into a puppet?

Moreover, Scorpion saw a shadow of hatred that he had longed for day and night.

That person had silver hair, a solemn face, and carried a white dagger on his back. He was Konoha's White Fang, also known as Hatake Sakumo.

White Fang killed his parents during the mission.

Scorpion once diligently practiced puppetry in order to make Sakumo his enemy.

He killed Konoha's White Fang to avenge his parents.

However, Sakumo committed suicide because he could not bear the bullying from the villagers, and Sasori, having lost his goal, turned his attention to the Third Kazekage.

"White Teeth, hehe..."

Scorpion chuckled mockingly, his expression indifferent, as he manipulated the silk threads with his fingertips.

Only the Third Kazekage, Rasa, and Sakumo from Sunagakure could catch Sasori's eye.

Three Kage-level experts are indeed quite troublesome.

But the scorpion wasn't afraid either.

He has two human puppets at the Kage level.

A human puppet made from the corpses of the Third Kazekage and Rasa.

It itself possesses Kage-level combat power.

The original Red-tailed Scorpion body was not lost, but fused into the regeneration core, and can be summoned at any time to fight.

Just as Scorpion was preparing for battle, a violent airburst suddenly exploded in the air, the sound sweeping in all directions.

"This is--"

Scorpion looked up in surprise and uncertainty.

In the sky, a black shadow streaked across the sky at high speed, accompanied by whistling air currents, with a milky white cone-shaped sonic boom cloud behind it.

The deafening roar echoed across the sky for a long time, and the sand on the ground trembled. The scorpion's eyes caught only a glimpse of it.

With just a glance, the figure that streaked across the sky was gone, leaving only the lingering echo of its roar.

But with just one glance, Scorpion noticed the red and white fan-shaped clan emblem on the man's body.

"A member of the Uchiha clan—Uchiha Ryou—!"

Sasori instantly used a secret technique to hide all his chakra, transforming into a red scorpion and pretending to be a wild beast. He even retracted his third eye.

During the time that Sasori was hiding, he wasn't completely oblivious to what was happening around him; he also sent out his puppets to inquire about the affairs of the ninja world.

Naturally, he knew that Liao Wu had already emerged from the mountain and was now confronting the twin peaks of the Ren Sect.

The migration of Sunagakure was because the village's lands fell within the control of Ryoubu, forcing them to relocate.

Scorpion wondered why Liao Wu was here.

"This guy... does he have the same idea as me, treating everyone in Sunagakure as prey?"

……

While Scorpion was thinking, Liao Wu had already flown over the vast crowd of Sunagakure.

Liao Wu made no attempt to conceal his movements, charging into the flock of sheep like a wild wolf.

He stood in front of everyone in the Sand Village, right there, wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt embroidered with the Uchiha clan crest.

Left eye: Sharingan; Right eye: Rinnegan.

Two different eyes reflected everyone in Sunagakure.

Fear, solemnity, panic, vigilance...

I saw Liao Wu.

The Sand Village ninja froze abruptly. The elite Sand Village ninjas who could remain calm gripped their kunai tightly, their backs taut.

Uchiha Ryou-wu —

The number one ninja in the world today, he defeated the Ninja Sect to the point of being unable to raise his head, forced the five great ninja nations to cede territory and pay reparations, and made the Sand Village a ruthless person who had to leave their homeland.

The villagers of Sunagakure were filled with anxiety and huddled together in groups.

Some of the Sand Village ninjas had their fingertips trembling uncontrollably, their breathing becoming labored and rapid, and they dared not launch an attack rashly.

The desert wind howled, and a heavy sense of fear enveloped the Sand Village members.

Almost simultaneously, the Third Kazekage, Rasa, and Sakumo jumped to the front of the crowd, confronting Ryou.

The Third Kazekage said politely, "Shogun, may I ask what brings you here?"

Liao Wu's official position was that of a feudal lord who ruled a country, but he established a shogunate and called himself the Uchiha Shogun.

Therefore, people outside the family call him General Yu!

Liao Wu, arms crossed, spoke politely to the Third Kazekage: "Third Kazekage, where are you headed?"

The Third Kazekage said, "The Daimyo of the Land of Wind has ordered us to go to the Land of Wind; we dare not disobey!"

Liao Wu chuckled. "So, you're planning to pledge allegiance to the Wind Kingdom, is that right?"

Luo Sha interjected, "General, we belong to the Land of Wind!"

Liao Wu shook his head: "No, no, no, the five great ninja nations and the Ninja Clan gave me the Land of Wind in the east. Not only the land, but also the people on this land are my subjects!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Sand Village members fell silent. It seemed that Liao Wu wanted to capture the Sand Village and make them slaves of the Ninja Cats.

The Third Kazekage suppressed the intense conflict within him and calmly addressed Liao Wu, saying, "General, we are still under the jurisdiction of the Ninja Sect. Your actions are tantamount to breaking the ceasefire agreement!"

"Hahaha--"

Liao Wu burst into laughter.

Suppressing their anger, the crowd watched as Liao Wu burst into wild laughter.

What's so funny?

After laughing, Liao Wu looked at the Third Kazekage and said, "Third Kazekage, do you think I care about the truce treaty of the Ninja Clan?"

"Now I'm giving you a choice: join the Land of the Universe, join the Shogunate, or I'll use my eye technique to turn you all into slaves!"

"If you know what's good for you, you can still retain your chakra and willpower!"

"..."

Everyone was filled with anger. Liao Wu's arrogance was completely trampling on the dignity of Sunagakure.

But the dignity of Sunagakure had already been crushed.

Their leaving their hometowns is the best example.

The Third Kazekage felt the power of Ryoubu; the immense chakra was as vast as the ocean. As he stood there, the surrounding natural energy gathered towards him.

He is heaven and earth, he is nature, he is the Tao!

The Third Kazekage, Rasa, and Sakumo exchanged a glance, and Rasa shook his head at the Third Kazekage.

If the difference in strength isn't too great, the Third Kazekage and Rasa's Magnet Release techniques could unleash a desert catastrophe and annihilate all enemies.

However, the gap between them and Liaowu was simply too great; they were no match for them.

But to simply accept all of Liao Wu's conditions without any resistance would be too cowardly.

Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!

The Third Kazekage stepped forward, followed closely by Rasa.

The Third Kazekage extended his hand to Ryou, as if seeking guidance: "Everyone reveres the Shogun as the greatest ninja in the world. I have long admired him, and I humbly request your instruction, Shogun!"

Rasa means the same thing: Liaowu can want Sunagakure, but he has to subdue them first.

Ninjas are not samurai, but they also have their own pride and principles.
