Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

half a month later.

The Land of Grass, the battlefield where Konoha and Iwagakure clash.

Yubi and Scorpion were hiding on the back of a mountain hollow.

Watching a rescue team composed of Konoha medical ninjas and logistics ninjas carry seven or eight seriously injured comrades back to their base from the front lines.

"That is..."

At this moment, the team leader, who was at the head of the group, went ahead to scout the way.

He saw a few drops of blood-red liquid floating in mid-air under the sunlight.

Is it...blood?

This strange sight caused the captain of the Konoha squad to freeze in surprise.

Whoosh!

However, the next second... a drop of blood in his field of vision suddenly elongated and flew towards him.

It pierced his forehead and emerged from the back of his head when he was completely unprepared.

He died instantly!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The Konoha squad, maintaining their alert formation, reacted instantly, and the man following closely behind immediately shouted.

He didn't even see what killed the captain.

They were completely unaware that danger lurked nearby...

Whoosh!

Another drop of blood pierced through the air, carrying terrifying speed and penetrating force, killing the Konoha ninja who had warned his comrade.

At the same time, the squad was also attacked from the rear.

Nearly ten bizarre puppets attacked from the ground and high in the sky. In addition to the close-range puppets, there were also puppets responsible for long-range attacks and launching a large number of hidden weapons. Their "firepower" coverage was exaggerated, and the strangeness and diversity of the mechanisms made them difficult to defend against.

Not to mention, there are a lot of wounded in the team, and the medical and logistical ninjas themselves have limited combat strength. Only a few people are truly capable of fighting.

"A puppeteer! From Sunagakure!"

Someone shouted.

His tone was one of surprise and uncertainty.

Why would the people from Sunagakure come to the Land of Grass to attack them?

In addition, how were their battlefield routes exposed?

A nimble and short figure sped out from the shadows at the foot of the mountain.

The boy pulled on the sharp threads with both hands and instantly pounced to the group of remaining Konoha squad members. As he swung his arms, a silver light seemed to intertwine and shimmer in the air... but it was difficult to see clearly for a brief moment under the sunlight.

The elusive trajectory of the silken thread is difficult to capture…

Seeing that the Konoha team had already prepared for battle, Yubi first threw a large number of throwing knives.

Several Konoha ninja in front knocked the blades away, thinking the hidden weapon had failed.

In an instant, the dagger that had fallen to the ground shot up.

He accurately hit several people's vital points... severely injuring them.

They caught us off guard.

Meanwhile, Sasori's puppet also tore through the Konoha team's defensive formation and broke in.

With the two of them standing one in front and the other behind, Konoha's team instantly collapsed, and the personnel were in disarray.

Yubi moved like a nimble dancer amidst the shadows, her movements fluid and graceful, her throwing knives and silken threads swiftly annihilating all the enemies around her.

boom!

A fireball suddenly rose, and waves of heat rushed towards us.

He dodged them all.

The opponent's fire jutsu failed to work.

As figures fell one by one... with the combined efforts of Yubi and Sasori, this Konoha squad was completely wiped out with overwhelming force.

"I still got more kills, you lost again..."

After annihilating the enemy, Scorpion leaped over from a distance, looking at Yubi, who was covered in blood, with a hint of smugness.

His puppets are art… elegant in their dealings with the enemy.

In contrast, Yubi's close-quarters combat, which combines special weapons with ninjutsu, is somewhat brutal and bloody.

Anything cut by his silk threads had its flesh severed into several pieces.

"Yes, yes, yes... You're really interested, haven't you gotten tired of it yet..."

Yubi glanced at the competitive Scorpion, shrugged, and said helplessly.

His ninjutsu and methods allow him to kill without shedding blood... He's even more adept at underhanded tactics.

I was just thinking about getting this over with quickly...

To complement Scorpion's puppetry technique, it's best to have someone at the front to hold the line and prevent any enemy personnel from escaping.

"Someone's here..."

Just as the two were about to engage in their usual banter, they suddenly heard a noise. Their expressions changed, and they instantly retreated, disengaging from the battlefield.

……

Their mission this time is still aimed at Konoha.

The location is still the Land of Grass.

However, this time it is closer to Konoha's combat zone and is also more dangerous.

The battlefield intelligence that the village received actually came from Iwagakure.

If anyone knows about Konoha's deployment on the battlefield in the Land of Grass, it's definitely Iwagakure, who are currently engaged in fierce battle with Konoha. The reason they're willing to share this intelligence is simply to use Sunagakure to create trouble for Konoha... Otherwise, Yubi and his team wouldn't have been able to accurately assassinate their target.

Although... there are conflicts between Sunagakure and Iwagakure, the tension is not as high as that between Sunagakure and Iwagakure.

This is how the battlefield of the ninja world is.

Sometimes... the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

This sharing of intelligence does not cause any loss to Iwagakure; on the contrary, it benefits them.

Why not do it.

Furthermore... this mission was not something they took the initiative to accept.

Instead, they were appointed by the village.

They will be active on the battlefield in the Land of Grass for quite some time... In addition to targeting Konoha, their team is also responsible for gathering intelligence here.

Of course, for safety reasons... the battlefield they were in was quite far from the main battlefield of the Grass Country, and it was another battle line.

After all, the one in charge of the battlefield in the Land of Grass from Konoha is Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin.

Their team should keep their distance... otherwise, if they attract the other side's attention, the consequences would be unbearable.

"Well done... Although the target was just a logistics team with quite a few wounded, it's clear that you've gained a certain level of combat experience. What pleases me most is that your teamwork is becoming increasingly seamless."

As Sasori and Yubi were running at high speed, Captain Arai came close by from not far away.

He secretly observed and protected the two of them the entire time.

Unless some special circumstances occur... I will not take action.

The main purpose is to train the two younger ones.

Scorpion remained unmoved by Arai's praise.

In his mind, Arai was a shadow guard, and more importantly, a direct subordinate of the Third Kazekage... not someone he could trust.

"Lord Kazekage has instructed you to test your bloodline limit in various battle scenarios, facing different situations and opponents, within your capabilities. This flexibility doesn't refer to adding variations of ninjutsu, but simply to what extent you can achieve with blood alone."

Arai looked at Yubi.

"Hmm...I understand."

Yubi nodded.

Arai smiled slightly. "Let's go... let's move to another, smaller front. The Konoha forces here will soon find out about our presence, and continuing our operation will be dangerous. Our mission this time is actually quite simple: to harass Konoha's various small fronts and cause them as much trouble as possible."

To put it bluntly, it's about hitting one target and moving on to another.

That's safer.

Although they couldn't cause any serious damage to Konoha, the different battlefield environment and the content of harassment operations were still very beneficial for Yubi and Sasori at this stage.

The Land of Grass is not a large country, but there are many battlefields, large and small, between Konoha and Iwagakure.

Both sides have been making strategic deployments over a long period of time in order to achieve ultimate victory... Today's battlefield was not formed overnight.

As long as they stay away from the main battlefield area, it's enough for their squad to gain experience.
