Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

"The frontline squad has been breached by the enemy, and Amegakure plans to destroy our village's personnel deployed on the border of the Land of Rain."

After a brief conversation with Yubi, Scorpion finally got down to business.

Clearly, Sasori had encountered other enemies from Amegakure who had advanced into the canyon and learned the truth.

"The conflict between Amegakure and Konoha has essentially ended with the conclusion of the previous great battle... Hanzo is well aware that this Shinobi World War will ultimately end in Konoha's victory. So, after reducing friction with the Land of Fire, he's turned his attention to us?"

Yubi seemed to be deep in thought.

The great battle he was referring to was the duel between the three legendary Sannin of Konoha and Hanzo.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade thus earned the title of the Legendary Sannin.

Will Konoha win?

"The retreat of the Land of Rain does not mean that our village is also prepared for peace talks."

Scorpion suddenly said in a cold voice.

Yubi understood immediately from his expression.

He subconsciously revealed his analysis, but forgot that Sasori's parents had died at the hands of Konoha's White Fang.

Therefore, one can imagine the extent of Sasori's hatred for Konoha.

But the facts are the facts... Judging from the current situation, in a one-on-one fight, the Sand Village, which has already suffered heavy losses, is even less likely to challenge Konoha.

However, even knowing how things would unfold, Yubi remained silent.

"Hanzo realized he couldn't gain any advantage from Konoha's strength, so he set his sights on the Land of Wind in his attempt to expand. After all, the Land of Wind has a large territory, but its resources are relatively scarce, and most of its terrain is desert and wasteland... Moreover, the village is currently short-handed, and Sunagakure doesn't have top-tier combat power like the Sannin of Konoha that can be deployed to the battlefield. In this Shinobi World War, several villages are almost fighting on multiple fronts... Even if the villages have very good border control, they are still very weak in mobilizing manpower and providing support, including subsequent deployment to the battlefield, once something happens."

"Besides Amegakure and Konoha, we also need to be wary of Kirigakure and Iwagakure... Hanzo's judgment is indeed sharp."

Yubi Passage.

The Rain Village's surprise attack on the border of the Land of Wind was very likely based on the assumption that the Sand Village would not cease hostilities with the Leaf Village in the short term.

Although Sunagakure is one of the five great ninja villages, it is now the easiest target to bully.

The war between Sunagakure and Konoha alone has already strained the village's manpower.

This can be seen from the deaths of the Chiyo family.

It's no wonder that Chiyo was so furious when she saw Kakashi in her later life; they were mortal enemies.

"Let's go first."

Yubi snapped out of her daze and said.

Immediately, the three of them, along with their injured companion, returned to another secret hideout.

During this time, Endo left to inform other nearby squads.

Only Scorpion and Yubi remained in the same spot.

"His condition is a bit serious; he needs to be sent back to the village."

Yubi looked at the unconscious genin beside him and spoke up.

Sasori glanced at the injured man and said, "In this environment, even if I weren't a medical ninja, I could tell what would happen to him... Even if he were sent back to the village, let alone whether he could withstand the journey back, given the village's current high capacity for medical treatment, they wouldn't have time to care for a genin like him."

"You've been to a hospital, so you should know this very well."

"He can only blame himself for his lack of ability."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yubi remained silent in thought.

He knew that what Scorpion said was true.

This is the battlefield.

"Therefore... both the village and its ninjas must become stronger to prevent this phenomenon from happening again."

Yubi spoke up.

Scorpion glanced at him but didn't reply.

"The number of Amegakure squads that have infiltrated is probably more than just these... Hanzo of the Salamander is likely using these scouts to reconnoiter the border area, the location and routes of our personnel bases, and the current level of defense, in order to pave the way for a large-scale offensive later. Perhaps... a fierce battle will be fought soon."

Yubi said.

Sasori looked at him with some surprise... He only felt that as a genin, Yubi's medical skills were outstanding for her age.

Unexpectedly, he also had unique insights into the connections between battlefield situations.

"I don't know."

Scorpion shook his head.

He only managed to capture one person alive and extract some secrets from him.

At their age, they don't consider things as thoroughly as adults.

Scorpion only knows how to kill enemies in order to protect the village.

But Yubi's level of thought... is clearly higher.

"The current state of the village, and the will of the higher-ups..."

Thinking of this, Yubi frowned.

Ultimately, Sunagakure will inevitably yield to Konoha.

Because if the fighting continues, the village of Sunagakure will definitely be the first to fall.

The Third Kazekage wasn't stupid... but for Sasori, any compromise from Sunagakure would be unacceptable.

His parents died in battle because of the village's, or rather... the Third Kazekage's, decisions. He hadn't avenged his parents when the village "surrendered."

This will undoubtedly further corrupt Scorpion.

Although Scorpio is somewhat withdrawn and aloof due to the death of his parents, he is still within the 'normal' range.

After Konoha's White Fang committed suicide, Sasori had no one left to take revenge on... He was bound to vent the dissatisfaction and sense of loss that had accumulated in his heart for many years.

All of this must be borne by the Third Kazekage.

This series of events also completely severed the bond between Sasori and Sunagakure.

He was so disappointed.

The peace talks between Sunagakure and Konoha planted a time bomb for the future.

In fact, Sasori probably didn't realize that before becoming a Jonin, Yubi had already met him many times...

Back then, Scorpion still had a smile on his face. In Yubi's eyes, he was just a cute and shy little boy who would sometimes blush when he met adults.

As a transmigrator, Yubi pays close attention to the characters and events in the village.

But three years ago, after his parents died, Scorpion's personality changed noticeably.

He rarely even leaves the house anymore, and is seldom seen even in the village.

As for the ninja academy, Sasori was in the same class as him, but as a puppeteer, most of his skills were inherited from Granny Chiyo, and even with his talent, he rarely appeared at the school... Graduating and becoming a genin was just a formality for Sasori.

Therefore, Scorpions are not very familiar with their peers or people of the same age.

"The Second Shinobi World War damaged the village's strength, and Sunagakure did not recover until the Third Shinobi World War... Their combat power was always tight, which forced Rasa to use his bloodline limit to manipulate gold dust in exchange for usable resources. Including making his son a Jinchuriki, these were all necessary moves."

"Scorpion has expectations for the village, but some things..."

Yubi looked at the scorpion again.

Not only Sasori's parents, but also the female ninja Pakura from the village behind them... were bargaining chips that Sunagakure gave up in order to make peace with Kirigakure.

This isn't the first or second time that Sunagakure has done something like this.

"Now that I'm a member of Sunagakure, I must find a way to change this situation to prevent things from getting worse... otherwise..."

Yubi's gaze sharpened.

He had this idea a long time ago.

Ultimately, it all comes down to their own lack of strength.
