I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 582 Another Win-Win Situation!

Sunagakure got a new Kazekage, what does that have to do with me!?

Sasori of the Red Sand stared speechlessly at Nara Rinka.

If it weren't for the fact that they were simply no match for their opponent.

Sasori of the Red Sand is definitely going to turn that bastard Hokage into the newest and strongest human puppet!

He had originally thought that this time he could at least get Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage's puppet, as a trophy.

As a result, Nara Rinkei told him that he was going to work for free?

Don't even think about it!

Over the past few years, how many unique techniques has Nara Rangsuke stolen from him?

They won't even give us a puppet of the Fourth Kazekage.

Sasori of the Red Sand had never seen such a stingy and miserly employer!

Seeing that Hiruko neither spoke nor left, Nara Rinka couldn't help but smile.

Speaking of which, he has been "cooperating" with Sasori of the Red Sand for several years now, so he knows the guy's personality fairly well.

Under the premise that one's absolute strength is sufficient to completely suppress Sasori of the Red Sand.

This S-rank rogue ninja from Sunagakure is indeed an excellent tool.

Moreover, due to the nature of the puppeteer's profession, Sasori of the Red Sand rarely causes trouble in normal times; he usually prefers to stay in a specific location and conduct research.

Sasori of the Red Sand will only go out to carry out missions, hunt targets, collect materials, and replenish his resources when he has no money—no puppet materials.

But now that Sasori of the Red Sand has Nara Langui as its backer and has "occupied" Loulan, a territory with a large number of puppet weapon production lines, it basically has no worries about the future.

During his time staying in Loulan, Sasori of the Red Sand dutifully played the role of a "tech geek".

Aside from occasionally causing Queen Sarah some unease.

The "cooperation" between Nara Rinka and Akasuna no Sasori has been progressing very smoothly.

Many of Sasori's secret techniques, such as the [Mind Control Sand Technique] mentioned earlier, were traded and obtained by Nara Rinka.

(Some of these were also obtained through ninja battle missions in Nara.)

It also includes a research document on bloodline limits—the Third Kazekage's [Sand Iron Secret Technique]!

The Third Kazekage's [Sand Iron Secret Technique], and the Fourth Kazekage's [Sand Gold Secret Technique].

These secret techniques for manipulating metal may appear somewhat different on the surface, but in reality, they are all different manifestations of [Magnetic Release].

It's like a "molten core"—some can create magma, some can release limestone, and some can produce rubber.

Through Sasori of the Red Sand, Nara Rinki successfully obtained the Third Kazekage's [Magnetic Release Chakra Creation Method].

If nothing unexpected happens, he can obtain the "new" bloodline limit of the Fourth Kazekage later on.

Among all of Sasori's abilities.

What Nara Rinka values most is a special technology called "Regeneration Core".

He has now acquired this technology as well, and it has been incorporated into his personal research program.

of course.

In order to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Sasori of the Red Sand, Nara Rangsuke did not remain idle.

For example, he once gifted Sasori a [Rank B Bloodline Limit Technique: Magnet Release: Magnetization Technique].

This [Magnetization Technique] was originally a "trophy" that Nara Rinkei obtained from Kumogakure, and now it has been directly given to Sasori of the Red Sand.

You want the horse to run, but you don't want it to eat grass.

This is difficult to handle.

Although Nara Rangsuke's so-called "win-win" always meant that he was the one who won twice.

However, if conditions permit, he will still let his partners have a taste of the benefits as well.

Like now.

"If we consider 'creating the Fourth Kazekage puppet' as a commissioned task."

Nara Ranka suddenly spoke up.

"I have two mission rewards here; you can choose one of them."

Upon hearing this, Sasori of the Red Sand immediately looked at Nara Rinka.

The Fourth Hokage always had something that even he himself longed for.

"What are they?"

"The first one is a mask."

Nara Rinka lightly tapped his wrist, summoning a Dragon Vein Mask through [Lightning Sword Transformation].

"This mask is a special ninja tool that I made myself, and it contains a certain amount of Dragon Vein Chakra."

Sasori's eyes lit up immediately.

He stayed in Loulan.

Aside from being instructed by Nara Rinka.

Loulan's own superior conditions are also an important reason for attracting the Red Sand Scorpion.

The "favorable conditions" here do not only refer to the "legacy" left by the centipede.

It refers even more specifically to the Loulan dragon vein!

Back then, the reason why Sasori of the Red Sand came to Loulan was because of the Centipede Puppet and the dragon vein of Loulan!

Although the dragon vein has now been completely taken away and sealed by Nara Rinka.

However, a certain amount of residual dragon vein chakra still remains inside Loulan.

After all, this chakra has been entrenched in the Loulan region for thousands of years.

Nara was not completely looted.

Studying the dragon vein chakra in Loulan was also one of Sasori's daily pastimes.

He was fascinated by this new type of chakra, which was distinct from human chakra.

Unfortunately, the remaining dragon vein chakra of Loulan is extremely scarce.

Sasori of the Red Sand has been applying to Nara Rangsuke (crossed out) to purchase Dragon Vein Chakra.

Unfortunately, I haven't received a response from them yet.

Now, Nara Rinka is actually offering his Dragon Vein Chakra as a reward for his mission...

Sasori of the Red Sand almost agreed on the spot.

But remembering the second "reward" that hadn't been revealed yet, he suppressed his impulse and pretended to be calm as he pressed for details.

"And the second one?"

"The corpse."

Nara spread his hands as he held the laurel tree.

"The corpse of Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure. As far as I know, he had mastered the power of [Boil Release] before he died."

The Five-Tailed Jinchūriki.

After successfully learning the [Dead Demon Sealing Technique], he chose to commit suicide.

The "Death God" summoned by the "Reaper Death Seal" devoured Han's soul, but preserved his body.

Moreover, due to this peculiar way of dying.

Han's body was extremely well preserved.

The corpses of ninjas inherently possess a certain value.

Nara Rinkaku did not destroy it.

Now that corpse has become a "reward for the mission," which can be considered a way to make use of waste.

For Sasori of the Red Sand, the corpses of the strong are the best tool to increase his trump cards.

Because he possesses a unique human puppet technique that is unparalleled in the ninja world!

As long as the corpse is preserved to a high enough standard, Sasori of the Red Sand is confident that he can make the corpse exert all its strength in life!

It could even surpass its strength during its lifetime!

Because humans get tired, but puppets don't.

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, possesses both the identities of "Jinchuriki" and "Bloodline Limit Ninja".

For Sasori of the Red Sand, this is definitely a very rare "treasure".

Dragon vein chakra?

Or is it the body of Han?

Sasori of the Red Sand hesitated for a moment before making his choice.

"I want the body."

"it is good."

Nara Rinka readily agreed.

"Once you've finished making the gold miner's puppet, I'll hand over Han's corpse to you."

First update.
