Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 297 The Scent of Conspiracy?

Why did Orochimaru target Sasori?

Yubi was thinking.

"The Sand Village is currently at its zenith, and even the Leaf Village dares not offend it."

Orochimaru, a rogue ninja, actually wanted to offend the Sand Village?

Aren't you afraid of getting revenge?

Who gave him that confidence?

Besides, in Yubi's eyes, Orochimaru is a smart man; he wouldn't do such a thing without a reason.

Fortunately, Sasori was quite strong; if it had been someone else, like Rasa, they might have really met their demise.

As for Orochimaru, it's rather strange that he was able to escape Konoha in this life because of me.

Unless, as in the original story, Hiruzen Sarutobi confronted Orochimaru alone in private, without making a fuss or informing Minato, Jiraiya, or the others, otherwise—

"As it stands, there is no hatred between our Sunagakure village and him—you have no connection with him at all. Whatever his reasons for attacking, he dared to do this, and he will inevitably pay the price," Yubi said in a deep voice.

The only reason Yubi could think of was that Orochimaru had ambushed him years ago and fought him, which was a small grudge.

Then there's the fact that Konoha was originally the strongest of the five great ninja villages—because of his appearance, Konoha is now weak, and the internal structure of Konoha has changed and been affected. Orochimaru was once a member of Konoha, so he blamed Sunagakure for this.

After all, he was the Kazekage, and he spent most of his time in Sunagakure—Orochimaru couldn't easily make a move against him.

Therefore, they set their sights on scorpions.

But this behavior is still too radical—there are many ways to sabotage Sunagakure.

Orochimaru, with his shrewdness, wouldn't be that stupid.

This doesn't seem like the person Yubi knew.

Or is there something fishy going on here?

Despite Orochimaru becoming a rogue ninja, Yubi is certain that he is still in contact with Danzo.

"You don't need to do anything."

Scorpion understood the meaning behind Yubi's words and suddenly sneered.

"Now, this has become a matter between him and me, it has nothing to do with the village. I'm going to kill him myself and turn him into a puppet—you..."

"Just stay in the village." Scorpion said, then turned and left with Hiruko.

Seeing that he said that, Yubi didn't say anything more.

He understood Sasori's personality; he wanted to take down Orochimaru alone—to make Orochimaru pay the price for his rash actions.

Scorpion would be very unhappy if he took action himself.

Given Sasori's current strength, Yubi doesn't think Orochimaru would be his match in a one-on-one fight—because Sasori's "arsenal" is equally formidable.

"The Third Kazekage, the Third Raikage, Hanzo the Salamander, and his puppet army that could rival a nation"—even Orochimaru would have to think twice before facing such firepower.

Moreover, this level of strength is from a long time ago—Yubi believes that Sasori has been secretly researching his puppetry art in private, so his current combat power must be updated and stronger than before.

But what Yubi was worried about was that life-or-death battles between ninjas were never determined solely by strength, but also by strategy and conspiracy, which happened to be Orochimaru's strength.

He could even be described as a cunning and shrewd character who is considered to be quite treacherous and experienced throughout the entire ninja world.

Scorpions are a bit too straightforward and easily fall into traps.

Another thing is that this matter always makes Yubi feel that something is wrong.

There's a hint of conspiracy in this.

Scorpion left, leaving only Yubi and Yekura in the office.

"With Sasori's strength, it should be fine, right?"

Yekura noticed Yubi's worry and stepped forward to say something.

"Orochimaru cannot be judged by common sense—every step he takes must be premeditated."

Yubi was still racking her brains.

"But Orochimaru is now a rogue ninja, so we can't use this to demand an explanation from Konoha—besides, the ninja world is so vast that even if this matter is exposed now, it won't be easy for us to find Orochimaru's location—that's probably why they're so emboldened."

Ye Cang said.

"Furthermore, Sasori has clearly identified Orochimaru as his prey. If you make a move and he finds out, I'm afraid—"

"I see."

Yubi nodded.

"Orochimaru shouldn't make any rash moves in the short term, so this matter isn't urgent."

"Besides, even if he hides very well and others can't find him, it doesn't mean I can't catch him."

Yubi said coldly.

"Calm down—you need to have faith in Sasori. As a genius who was once on par with you, I don't think Sasori will lose to Orochimaru."

Yekura offered a word of comfort.

"On the contrary, he is the one whose life is in danger."

Yubi looked surprised: "You're not angry?"

After all, Scorpion had just described her as a tool for giving birth.

"He's always been this way, I know that. In the whole village, besides you and him, no one else gets along—"

Ye Cang hesitated, then continued, "Besides, he is now—"

Yubi understood what she meant.

"The fact that Scorpion turned himself into a puppet is somewhat pitiful to outsiders."

Others may not know about Scorpion's background, but Yekura does.

Therefore, she naturally wouldn't stoop to the level of a scorpion.

"Sure enough, people grow up and mature. I remember you hated him when you were little."

Yubi gave a thumbs up.

Ye Cang rolled his eyes at him.

This affectionate attitude and behavior of hers only appears in front of Yubi.

It must be said that Yekura's personality has indeed changed quite a bit since the two started dating.

She's become much gentler.

She even joined the famous group of girlfriends in Sunagakure.

It's a small group consisting of Karura, Mizuki, and Megumi, all of whom are already mothers. Yekura is now essentially a prospective housewife and has been "asking" her seniors for advice on "family" matters.

She was also greatly influenced by several people.

dong dong.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Yekura returned to normal, and Maki walked in to report, "Lord Kazekage, preparations at the hospital are almost complete—"

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Yubi got up and led Yecang to the hospital.

After a while, when we arrived at the hospital, we saw a long queue already formed outside.

Looking around, all you could see were the sand ghouls of the village.

The group chatted and laughed, and upon seeing Yubi, they all bowed and greeted him.

The news of Yubi's upcoming marriage has already spread throughout the village—he's been receiving congratulations from everyone he meets on the street lately.

Yubi responded kindly by raising his hand, and then walked along the corridor into the hospital. There he saw Saori, Yashamaru, and others dressed in white robes, leading a group of medical staff to inject the prepared gene serum into the Sand Village patients who came forward.

Yubi has already explained the advantages and disadvantages of the bone cell agent and the life agent very clearly.

As for how the village's ninjas will choose, that depends on their own thoughts.

"How is it?"

Yubi approached and asked with a smile.

"The injections have just started, and so far, none of the people who have been vaccinated have experienced any abnormalities."

Saori smiled and nodded slightly to Yekura before answering Yubi: "Right now, it would take at least two days to vaccinate all the ninjas currently in the village. They will be vaccinated gradually after those who are on missions outside the village return—I have already coordinated the timing with Arai, and it will take nearly two months for all the ninjas in our village to be vaccinated."

"Then there's the relationship between the quantity and production of the medicine. Only after the ninjas have been injected—then the students of the Ninja Academy, including some staff members, are treated."

"Finally, there are the ordinary villagers—"

"Judging from the current situation, it will take at least several years for everyone in the village, from ninjas to civilians, to receive the enhanced medicine—mainly due to issues with production capacity and speed."

At this point, Saori sighed.

"Furthermore, we can't just prioritize satisfying the village's needs. Although you, Lord Kazekage, feel no remorse and think that taking the money is all that matters, the village has reached so many agreements with the outside world, and the partners are eager to receive the goods. We can't just ignore it. Lord Chiyo said that although you don't care, the village's reputation is still very important."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Yubi chuckled softly, "You're right, we need to have a spirit of cooperation."
