Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

"The dead don't need to know this much."

The undercover agent, disguised as the Wind Shadow, said coldly, and slowly drew a short knife.

Then, he and his companion exchanged a glance.

They pounced on Yubi in an instant.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

Putting aside the current offensive, the 'undercover agent' who had just approached him turned around and stabbed himself with a kunai... Yubi could tell that these two were no ordinary people.

They are definitely not ninjas from a small ninja village.

They were intentionally trained assassins.

The movements were clean and efficient, without any hesitation or slackness.

The pressure they exerted on their opponents even surpassed that of the elite Rain Shadow Squad.

His overall abilities are outstanding.

Whoosh!

The fake Kazekage swung his sword, while keeping a wary eye on Yubi's palm.

"Did you notice?" Yubi curled the corners of her mouth.

That's a really keen insight.

Swish!

Ninjutsu sword intent practice.

The scalpel, manipulated by delicate threads, transformed into a cold glint and silently appeared on the side of the man's temple.

噹。

The opponent changed tactics in an instant, using his excellent swordsmanship to deflect the flying knife with a short sword.

"Watch out for his hidden weapons."

He even spoke up to remind his companions.

Meanwhile, the other person had already moved behind Yubi and was attacking Yubi's open goal with a kunai once again.

But the boy seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and easily dodged it.

"You two aren't planning to use ninjutsu, but instead want to rely on taijutsu to take me down. Are you afraid of alerting the village guards?" The two attacked Yubi from the front and back.

The three men moved swiftly and nimbly across the sand, locked in a fierce battle.

The fake Kazekage's short sword, under his swift manipulation and with the effect of chakra, even produced a brief afterimage of the sword's shadow.

It looks like some kind of special swordsmanship.

Yubi laughed as he defended himself.

This place is still within the territory of Sunagakure, even if it is very remote and located on the edge... Given the patrol pace of Sunagakure, they will eventually notice this place.

Therefore, for these two, the only option is to kill themselves in the shortest possible time.

Moreover, ordinary ninjutsu is quite noisy, so it is not suitable to use it in this kind of assassination mission.

Listening to Yubi's teasing, the two felt heavy-hearted.

They had been lying in wait in Sunagakure for a long time to gather intelligence for the organization, and Yubi's rise could not be kept from them... In Sunagakure, everyone knew that Yubi was an excellent medical ninja, but he had only graduated from the Ninja Academy about a year ago and was still a genin. So far, he had only done one mission outside the village.

Although he participated in the war between Sunagakure and Amegakure, it was only as a rear-line rescue mission.

Why is this kid so difficult to deal with?!

Let alone a genin... this level of close combat skill, just talking about his unique taijutsu, is at least at the chunin level.

There's also this bizarre ninjutsu.

With a soft slur.

Blood splattered as one of the assassins was struck in the shoulder by a flying knife, causing him to freeze in mid-air.

This throwing knife is elusive and extremely difficult to defend against.

Even if one tries to dodge or defend... Yubi controls more than one throwing knife.

Seeing this, the fake Wind Shadow became somewhat anxious.

He opened his mouth and spat out a senbon needle, creating distance while forming hand seals.

The senbon that was flying towards the boy suddenly turned into a swarm as the ninjutsu was activated.

Ding ding ding.

However, just as the two of them couldn't defeat the boy even when they joined forces, as soon as Senbon approached, Yubi emitted a sharp sound, as if something was present, knocking all the Senbon members to the ground.

"It's lines again..."

The fake Fengying's pupils contracted.

Yubi's strings are not only used to control the throwing knives, but also his "weapons".

The silk thread on his fingers was thinner than ordinary steel wire, yet more resilient and agile.

During the day it's alright, but in the already dim night... in the midst of a rapid exchange of blows, the silk threads are hard to catch.

His dagger was repeatedly entangled or blocked by the silk threads, which repeatedly prevented him and his companion from getting close to their target.

They had seen people use silk threads as a means of attack before, but to do it in such a fancy way... this young man was truly one of a kind.

This isn't the kind of chakra thread used by Sunagakure puppeteers; when used by Yubi, it's more like a special kind of ninja tool.

It was another silent exchange of glances.

The two decided to fight to the death... Judging from the situation, they had to use ninjutsu.

Even if it alarms Sunagakure... we must bury Yubi as ordered!

They would trade their two lives for one boy.

However, at this very moment...

The other assassin had just finished forming hand seals, but had not yet used his escape technique.

Yubi had already crouched down and jumped in front of him, raising her two hands high like a pair of wings.

Just as the man was about to react, his vision suddenly went double, and his body stiffened.

"It's poison!"

As expected of a well-trained ninja, he immediately realized what was happening.

The throwing knife that had previously stabbed him was poisoned.

But it was too late... because the boy's movements and reactions seemed to be even more efficient than when they had just started fighting.

"Data capture complete."

In his unfocused gaze, he saw the boy's face slowly rising from beneath him, and his lips moving slightly.

"Death Waltz"

With that sentence uttered.

It doesn't involve hand seals, so it's not ninjutsu.

It still uses that unique method of wielding ninja tools.

The fake wind shadow, standing not far away, felt a chill run down his spine, but it was too late to stop it.

As the boy swiftly moved his hands, the silk threads that had been fluttering in front of him suddenly erupted into a huge, cold, dark wind, and the chaotic, sharp threads instantly entangled his colleague.

Then, as the threads were pulled and contracted, the companion instantly exploded and died, strangled on the spot.

The meat was shattered into pieces all over the ground.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

The seals were formed at the hour of Si, Chen, Mao, and Yin. The fake wind shadow finished forming the seals and gave a soft shout.

Facing Yubi's back, it spewed out a straight stream of flames, which grew increasingly fierce as the distance increased.

The firelight illuminated the area within a hundred meters.

But when the fire subsided, all that could be seen was charred black sand and steam, but Yubi's body was nowhere to be seen.

"You two... are from Konoha?"

Just as the fake wind shadow was observing, a familiar sound came from a direction ten feet away.

He was startled and immediately looked in the direction of the sound, finding Yubi completely unharmed.

Yubi had a smile on his face.

The opponent's swordsmanship... and that ninjutsu that could unleash a thousand kimonos, had some resemblance to his vast database of memories.

He just thought about it carefully.

Suddenly… a name came to mind, Konoha's… Genma Shiranui.

The opponent's attack pattern, or rather, their attack style... is very similar to this character's.

I don't know what their relationship is.

Genma Shiranui is still just a child and hasn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet.

If the Hidden Cloud Village could kidnap Kushina from Konoha, then it's not surprising that Konoha sent two people to lie in wait in Sunagakure to attack them.

To be honest, the overall defense capabilities of Sunagakure are not as strong as those of Konoha.

The problem is... there are quite a few factions within Konoha.

Whose orders were these two assassins following?

"It shouldn't be that old man Hiruzen Sarutobi... I'm quite self-aware. A kid like me could never possibly attract the Hokage's attention in this Shinobi World War. This method and style... are quite like him... Shimura Danzo."

Yubi said softly.

"You wouldn't happen to be... one of Root's people, would you?"

There was no response; the fake Wind Shadow simply charged towards him relentlessly.

It has a bit of a sense of proving one's integrity by dying.

But in Yubi's view, this silence... already gave him the answer.

In the distance, Sunagakure's guards were already on their way.

The other party's fate was already sealed.
