Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Arai and Sasori were stationed in the "hunting area," while Captain Arai stood guard ahead of the route to scout out any potential Konoha teams that might appear at any time.

After spotting the target, Arai will return before the prey and relay the information to Yubi and Sasori.

This allows them to prepare in advance.

The other side must be a multi-person team, plus they need to transport supplies. Even if they travel at full speed, their speed is far slower than Arai alone.

With Arai's abilities, it would be difficult for the other side to discover his whereabouts.

Yubi hid in the shade of the tree, and Scorpion also hid behind a tree trunk.

Time passed little by little.

As night fell, a sound came from the woods; it was Arai returning.

"There are six people in total, in two teams: four Chunin and two Genin."

Arai jumped onto the branch and warned Yubi and the other two who had revealed themselves.

There were no further details; he simply made a throat-slitting gesture.

The meaning is obvious... you can just take action!

With this team configuration, Yubi and Sasori are perfectly capable of handling it.

Arai doesn't need to get involved... unless some unexpected situation occurs.

After saying this, the three of them disappeared at the same time.

A few minutes later, several dark figures darted into the woods and entered the area where the three had set up an ambush.

The routes chosen for transporting supplies to the battlefield must also be highly concealed... especially in environments resembling primeval forests, which can increase the difficulty for the enemy to track them.

Even in the event of an emergency, one can utilize the complex terrain to escape enemy attacks and avoid some losses.

There are currently many ninjas active in the Land of Grass, and their identities are quite diverse... If they are targeted, there is always danger.

Another point is the timing. The Konoha squad will travel quickly under the cover of night, while slowing down and acting cautiously during the day to rest more and conserve their energy.

However, the safety of this line can be guaranteed at present.

After all, this wasn't their first time taking this route... they were very familiar with it.

Therefore, you will be relatively more relaxed.

Through the gaps in a few leaves, an eyeball silently rolled, looking down at the passing Konoha ninjas.

It was Yubi, who was hiding in the shadows.

Just as Arai said, there were six people in total... clearly two small teams of three.

One in front of the other.

Each trio consists of two Chunin and one Genin.

Six people were carrying huge packages... It was obvious what they contained: urgently needed supplies for the front lines.

"Um?"

But Yubi's gaze was fixed on one of them.

The other person's face was covered in dye, giving it a very obvious "mark".

A member of the Inuzuka clan!

Yubi recognized the man instantly.

He immediately abandoned his original intention to observe further and reflexively moved his finger.

As one of the powerful clans of Konoha, the Inuzuka clan cannot be treated like ordinary ninjas... their abilities are quite unique.

Especially in this situation.

Even if it was a trap on their side, Yubi believed it was set up perfectly... and no flaws would be discovered.

嗏

Sure enough, just as Yubi made his move, the Inuzuka clan ninja who had leaped onto a tree trunk suddenly raised his hand, stopping the team from advancing.

"What's wrong?"

Not far away, another Konoha Chunin's expression changed.

Something's not right...

The Inuzuka clan member narrowed his eyes, twitched his nose, and sniffed the air.

"There's a stranger's scent... Watch out! Enemies!" The Inuzuka family member immediately shouted to warn his teammates.

As soon as he finished speaking, his companion behind him suddenly and bizarrely fell from the tree, blood splattering from his neck.

What is that?!

Inuzuka Kuri suddenly turned around, her pupils contracting as she stared at her teammate who had been ambushed and killed in an instant…

Then, in a split second, the genin in his squad were also decapitated, their young faces filled with astonishment... their heads were severed and tossed into the air.

The body carrying the bundle had already fallen.

"Kyumaru!"

Inuzuka Kuri shouted again.

Everything happened too fast. From the moment he smelled the unusual odor in the air to the moment he turned around and saw his two teammates dead... it all happened in just two or three seconds.

There's practically no time to react.

Wang!

A blur of light, as swift as lightning and as agile as a cheetah, leaped from the forest floor, using its sharp claws to quickly climb to the top of a large tree, while simultaneously baring its fangs to tear at a clump of green shade in the canopy.

A rustling sound... the shade of the tree trembled.

A large number of leaves fell.

With a loud crash... blood gushed out.

The phantom that shot towards the treetop fell from the sky, but its body tumbled in mid-air, adjusting its posture before landing safely.

It turned out to be a large, yellow-haired dog.

They were also ninja dogs trained by the Inuzuka clan.

At this moment, the ninja dog named Hisamaru had its front paws cut by a sharp weapon, bleeding and revealing the white bone beneath the flesh.

But the yellow dog showed no fear. Instead, it bared its teeth and growled fiercely at the boy who jumped down from the treetop.

"That's amazing... even more sensitive than I expected."

"You actually dodged it."

Yes, the person who fell from the tree was Yubi.

The ninja dog easily found his hiding place.

Yubi stared curiously at the big yellow dog and praised it.

"Sunagakure!"

Upon seeing the headband that Yubi was wearing around her neck, Inuzuka Kuri's eyes turned cold.

He did not underestimate the other party just because he was a teenager... After all, being able to take down the Chunin and Genin in his team in the blink of an eye was no ordinary feat.

Whoosh whoosh.

Hearing the commotion, the three-man squad from Konoha behind them instinctively retreated without even needing Inuzuka Kuri's orders.

They quickly disengaged from the battlefield and disappeared.

If their supply team encounters the enemy, they will absolutely not engage in combat unless absolutely necessary.

Instead, the priority is to protect supplies and reduce casualties.

The reason why the six people split into two teams and did not act together, but instead kept their distance from each other... especially letting Inuzuka Kuri walk in front, was not only because Inuzuka Kuri was more familiar with the route and environment, but also because of the Inuzuka clan's abilities.

Their sense of smell, enhanced by chakra, is more than ten thousand times greater than that of ordinary people.

This means that no matter what kind of ambush or disguise the enemy has made, as long as they have appeared, they will be discovered by Inuzuka Kuriko.

If things change... the rear squad will have a chance to escape.

Even if... this means that the front-line team is likely to be wiped out, at least the lives and supplies of one team member have been saved.

It can also transmit intelligence back.

This is...a rather clever arrangement.

It is also a safety net measure.

when!

Yubi controlled a throwing knife aimed at Inuzuka Kuri's vital point, but at the last second, it was deflected by the opponent with a kunai.

"You've already realized it..."

Yubi understood immediately.

With a flick of his fingers, another throwing knife flashed through the air, aiming for the back of the man's head.

But the other party still ducked to avoid it.

"Carrying such a huge pack... and still having this kind of stamina and agility..."

Yubi had a thought.

A third flying knife, capable of killing in mid-air, followed immediately.

According to his "data observation," this strike... will end the opponent's life.

This member of the Inuzuka clan is someone they absolutely cannot escape.

However, just as they were about to succeed, the ninja dogs on the ground rushed forward to protect their master, pouncing on the opponent's back at an extremely fast speed.

He acted as a human punching bag, using his body to block the flying knife attack.

"Ninja Art: Beast Transformation and Humanoid Technique!"

Inuzuka Kuri hugged her beloved dog and immediately formed hand seals upon landing.

Chakra burst forth from his body, and under the effect of ninjutsu, his body seemed to have undergone some kind of change and enhancement.

Even though the ninja dog that was close to his body was injured, it still played a vital role.

As a plume of white smoke exploded, Inuzuka Kuriko's flesh grew wildly, increasing in size by more than a dozen times, with bulging muscles... Hair even sprouted from his exposed skin, as if he had merged with the ninja dog, becoming a beastman with scarlet eyes, sharp claws and canine teeth, exuding a wild aura.

His physical fitness has been dramatically improved!

The Inuzuka Clan's Secret Technique!

Not the kinds that Yubi knew...

However… Inuzuka Kuri had just finished using her ninjutsu.

In my field of vision, the boy who should have been standing on the tree... his short body had already hunched over and come closer.

The boy raised his arms high and lowered his head, like an eagle spreading its wings.

As the finger trembled, before anyone knew it... the space around Inuzuka Kuri was covered by a large number of crisscrossing threads, like a fishing net.

Sharp threads floated in the air... a chilling aura of killing intent.

"Death Waltz"

He heard the boy's barely audible murmur.

With a squeak.

The net suddenly tightened, binding Inuzuka Kuri tightly before he could make a move.

The sharpness generated by the silk thread even cut and destroyed the package on his back instantly, scattering all the supplies inside.

He should have been crushed into a pile of minced meat and killed, but he did not die as the silk thread tightened.

The skin was cut open and covered in blood.

"what!"

Inuzuka Kuri roared angrily, attempting to use his domineering body to break through the threads.

Despite the deeper cuts the threads made to his flesh by his resistance, the sheer force of his movements seemed to threaten to snap the threads.

His arms were raised higher and higher, and a small gap had already opened.

If the boy wants to strangle him, he must maintain absolute control over the threads; otherwise… he can launch a counterattack in an instant.

In other words, the enemy is also unable to move.

The two are about to engage in a power struggle.

Inuzuka Kuri is confident of breaking the deadlock.

It just needs some time…

Snapped.

Finally, he stretched out the threads and regained his freedom.

But his movements suddenly stopped, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

He was able to hold his own not because of his brute strength, but because... Yubi gave up control of the lane.

Looking down, he saw that one of the boy's arms was bursting with chakra, like a sharp knife piercing through his abdomen.

"This is…"

Inuzuka Kuri looked stunned.

He naturally recognized the boy's methods.

This is... a chakra scalpel!

This guy... is a medical ninja?!
