Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Border patrols typically involve groups of two to three people who patrol along fixed routes.

This is enemy territory.

To kill Amegakure, I must strike decisively; I cannot afford to give the target a signal or alert others, otherwise…

"And another thing is..."

Yubi hung upside down on a tree, channeling his chakra and using his feet to adhere to the branches.

Before his eyes appeared a white line, as thin as a hair, wrapped around the tree trunk.

This is clearly an organization.

If you accidentally step on it, it will definitely trigger some kind of alarm, thus exposing you.

Like the Sand Village, their traps are often difficult for outside enemies to detect due to their familiarity with the environment, mainly because of their unfamiliarity with it.

Fortunately, Yubi had some understanding of the Land of Rain, including jungle warfare, through the original work.

Then, he vanished in a flash.

Concealing tracks, disguise, keen observation skills... these are also part of a ninja's strength.

They all studied at the Ninja Academy.

Relying solely on manpower for patrols would make it extremely difficult to cover the entire vast border region. By now, both Amegakure and Sunagakure are severely understaffed.

Therefore, the best approach is to set up numerous traps and mechanisms along the border, which can effectively deter intruders.

And Yu Yin must be very familiar with these trap locations.

Soon, besides the white wires attached to the trees, Yubi also discovered highly concealed explosive tags stuck to the tree bark, as well as projectiles hanging in the shade that could unleash a barrage of kunai once triggered. In short, these traps were within Yubi's expectations.

However, he had to be extra careful as he wandered through the dense forest.

Suddenly, Yubi's ears twitched.

I heard a sound.

He immediately darted into a clump of bushes under the tree.

Immediately afterwards, a Rain Shadow appeared above him, unaware of his presence, and was simply conducting a routine check of the trap devices.

These tasks are also part of what Yubi and his team do on a daily basis.

Once it was confirmed that there were no problems with the organization, the person left.

Yubi didn't make a move... because he wasn't sure if there were any other Rain Villagers nearby.

After a while, Yubi familiarized himself with a section of the forest and decided to make it his hunting ground. Before hunting, he needed to have a basic understanding of the surrounding environment.

Immediately afterwards, they arrived at another trap set up by Rain Shadow.

They hid in the shadows.

Sure enough, not long after, the Rain Shadow who had just been inspecting the traps reappeared.

Yubi leaned against the back of another tree, glancing around with the corner of his eye. Once he was sure the other person was alone, he quietly tightened his grip on the scalpel.

Whoosh!

Explosive tags are prone to becoming damp and ineffective in the rain country's climate.

It must be replaced frequently.

Just as Yu Yin reattached the new explosive tags to the location, a chilling killing intent rushed towards him the next second.

Driven by instinct and experience, Amegakure instantly raised his weapon and tried to get up to dodge.

At the same time, observe the enemy's figure and location.

But... he didn't expect the other party to be so fast, and he also misjudged the enemy's attack route. He thought the enemy would get close, but unexpectedly the latter just jumped over his head and flew to the ground by taking advantage of his getting up.

"child?"

After Yu Yin clearly saw the enemy, her expression changed slightly.

He thought the boy had made a mistake... He himself didn't feel attacked or injured.

"Sunagakure, huh..."

Upon seeing the headband hanging around Yubi's neck, Amegakure's gaze turned cold, and he was about to send a signal.

Suddenly, he froze, his pupils dilating.

Because only then did the pain of being attacked appear; it was his neck... that had been slashed open.

That kid's move... was silent and precise!

Even a difference of just one body length could determine his life or death.

From the very beginning, this Sand Village brat saw through his movements and the extent of his ascent... It wasn't a mistake at all, but a perfect assassination.

With a whoosh.

As Yu Yin's body fell from the tree, Yubi immediately caught it, hid it in the grass, and quickly erased some traces at the scene.

Half an hour later, another Rain Hermit appeared at the scene.

He had come to find his missing companion.

"Strange...where did they go?"

The Rain Shadow jumped onto a tree trunk, stood up, looked around, and frowned.

There were no signs of an enemy attack on their side. Although the two were some distance apart, if their companion had really encountered the enemy, there should have been some noise.

He followed the footprints left by his companions to find his way here.

However, just as he stood up, looking puzzled.

A sudden chill ran down the back of his head.

Because behind him, an upside-down face fell silently from above.

A few leaves also fell along with it.

According to the Rain Hermit's perception, this person seemed to have appeared suddenly, and his aura was not detected beforehand.

Yubi swiftly brought down his knife.

The seemingly thin and delicate scalpel easily pierced the back of Yu Yin's head. Then, in the instant his body went limp, it flipped over and landed, supporting the dead enemy.

They used the same method to hide the body and traces once again.

"The sudden disappearance of two people is enough to alert the other Rain Village members in the base... The prey that follows will probably be on guard and won't be so easy to catch." Yubi narrowed his eyes.

Given the enemy's meticulous vigilance and combat atmosphere, even if he were to kill Amegakure, the number would likely be limited.

Moreover, the tasks Arai assigned to him and Sasori had a time limit.

Once this arouses widespread alarm among the enemy... the situation will become serious.

"Just do your best..."

Yubi smiled and jumped away.

He needs to think of other hunting methods.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

The two Rain Shadows stared in astonishment at the two corpses hanging from a tree trunk.

Those were their companions!

Fresh blood continued to drip from his body onto the ground from above.

It was clearly just dead.

On the tree, a boy was squatting... with a cold gaze, as if looking at a dead man.

They looked down at them from their elevated position.

"The puppeteers of Sunagakure... notify them immediately..."

One of the Rainbow Shadows realized what was happening and had just spoken.

The other person had already taken out a signal transmitter from his waist.

However, as they made their move, they heard strange noises.

Those were two puppets flying towards them, controlled by chakra threads.

The puppet made a creaking sound as it shook.

The two puppets, one on the left and one on the right, suddenly transformed into two rafts covered with sharp spikes as the scorpion's fingertips trembled gently.

With a snap.

The puppets, like two walls pressing against each other, immediately sandwiched the two Rain Shadows between them.

As blood gushed out, both men were riddled with wounds.

He died on the spot.

Scorpion remained unmoved, flicking his finger and sending the two puppets flying back.

Unlike Yubi, he did not clean up the scene; instead, he turned and left immediately after killing the person.

They made no attempt to hide their tracks.

It's like committing murder in a very brazen way...
