Chapter 445 The Theory of Red Hair!

Although Sasori's human puppet head didn't show any drastic changes in expression (and it's unlikely it might),...

However, Nara Rinka could still detect a hint of fear hidden beneath the anger in the other person's tone.

This is perfectly reasonable.

Except for a very few ninjas who are completely brainless.

Most ninjas would feel more or less apprehensive once their most secret abilities were revealed.

For Sasori of the Red Sand, the "Regeneration Core" is his true trump card.

Leaving aside the fact that the regeneration core stores Sasori's last body tissues, which is also Sasori's true form now.

As a puppet master, Sasori of the Red Sand had long ago set up special mechanisms and methods in all of his puppets.

If his true form—the human puppet of Sasori of the Red Sand—is subjected to some irreparable destructive attack.

Sasori of the Red Sand could extend his life by transferring the regeneration core to other puppets.

In a sense.

Sasori of the Red Sand, possessing a regeneration core, also possesses "immortality" (Puppet Limited Edition).

However, it differs from the other types of immortal beings in the ninja world.

Hidan is truly immortal.

Orochimaru is a complex, immortal soul.

Danzo is... well, an immortal who was resurrected on the spot.

Sasori's "immortality" absolutely depends on the special core of the regeneration core.

The rest of the "immortal bodies" are basically impossible to destroy.

But Sasori of the Red Sand...

If the regenerative nucleus is destroyed, he will also die.

Therefore, it was within Nara Rinka's expectations that Sasori of the Red Sand would feel fear at this time.

"Are you going to keep talking to me with this lonely head stuck in your head?"

Nara Rinkazu calmly sealed the Third Kazekage's puppet into a scroll he carried with him.

"Or are you planning to assemble yourself first?"

The sealing scroll cannot seal living things.

However, since the Third Kazekage has already been transformed into a human puppet by Sasori of the Red Sand, he can naturally be sealed into the scroll as well.

To put it bluntly, the current Third Kazekage can actually be considered a special kind of humanoid ninja tool.

As for returning the Third Kazekage puppet to Sasori of the Red Sand, giving him a new body, etc...

Nara Langui never expected this!

He still has a use for the Third Kazekage puppet!

Sasori of the Red Sand watched helplessly as Nara Rinkei put away the Third Kazekage puppet, unable to speak up to stop it, feeling as if his blood was flowing endlessly inside him.

He invested a great deal of resources and energy into the third generation of Kazekage puppets.

Assassinating the Third Kazekage was secondary; the key point was that Sasori of the Red Sand went to great lengths to preserve the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release bloodline limit.

This third-generation Kazekage puppet is the strongest of the hundreds of puppets owned by Sasori of the Red Sand, and can be considered his absolute trump card!

But now he can only watch as Nara Rinka takes away his most perfect work...

Out of sight, out of mind!

Tentacle-like tendrils, resembling flesh and blood, sprouted from the regeneration core. Strands of chakra extended outwards from the core, connecting with the scattered puppet parts around it.

Under Sasori's control, chakra threads dragged the puppet parts back, and they were skillfully reassembled.

Before long, Sasori's humanoid puppet reappeared in front of Nara Rin and Tsunade.

His right shoulder was severely damaged, but his forearm and even his palm were not badly damaged.

There was also a very obvious indentation in the chest and rib area, which was the mark left by Nara Rinka's "super strength" kick.

Clearly, Nara Rinka did kick Sasori, but the opponent did not suffer any real damage.

However, that combat mission has already been completed...

Although he didn't show it, Sasori of the Red Sand had already admitted defeat and surrendered in his heart.

Nara Rinkachi has once again obtained an A-rank [Ninja Scroll].

"Even though I've seen it in the intelligence scroll several times, I still find it very strange to see this guy's face in person."

Tsunade looked Sasori up and down, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"The Sand Village can actually produce such a beautiful... hmm, red-haired one?"

Sasori of the Red Sand gave Tsunade a cold look.

Although his brain has been modified into a puppet mechanism, this does not mean that his mind has become rigid and inflexible.

That despicable woman!

"Actually, I've secretly investigated a group of people."

Nara Rinka looked at Sasori's red hair and began to speak with great seriousness.

"These people all have very conspicuous red hair, and their innate chakra reserves are also very strong."

"The most crucial point is that... all of these people share the surname Whirlpool."

"Ninjas of the Uzumaki clan mostly have red hair."

"On the other hand, red-haired ninjas are probably all from the Uzumaki clan, or at least have Uzumaki blood."

In Nara Rinka's personal intelligence system.

There is only one ninja who belongs to the Uzumaki clan but does not have red hair.

Naruto Uzumaki!

Some words carry different weight depending on the speaker's status.

If Tsunade had said the "Red Hair Uzumaki Theory," Sasori might have taken it seriously, but he would more likely have ignored it.

The person who said this was Nara Rinkazu, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha who had just defeated Sasori of the Red Sand!

Sasori of the Red Sand fell into deep thought.

"The Uzumaki Clan and Red Hair..."

"You're completely making this up, aren't you?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Nara Rinka.

She didn't believe his nonsense.

The hair color theory might work elsewhere, but it's not a problem at all among the Senju clan!

Hashirama Senju's hair color is "black", Tobirama Senju's hair color is "white (silver)", Kabama Senju's hair color is "brown", and Itama Senju's hair color is "black and white parted in the middle"...

The four children, born to the same parents in the same generation, have four different hair colors.

How could Tsunade possibly believe the "hair color theory"?

And then again...

Tsunade's hair color is different from that of the Senju ninja of her grandfather's generation; instead, it is a more unique "golden hair".

Ok……

In short, it's very unscientific.

"Perhaps."

Nara Rinka shrugged. He had only followed up on Tsunade's topic and didn't really mean it that way.

"The only certainty is that all Uzumaki clan ninjas have red hair."

"But not all those with red hair are ninjas of the Uzumaki clan."

Tsunade wanted to retort, but no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't find a single Uzumaki ninja who didn't have red hair.

Mito Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki... they were all red-haired ninjas.
