Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

"Arrogant brat..."

With a whoosh.

Following Yubi's words, several Hidden Mist members emerged from the shadows.

One of them stared at him with a mocking expression.

Clearly, their three-person team was also regarded as a team of complete rookies from Konoha who came to the battlefield for training.

"A bunch of trash."

Scorpion glanced at the several seemingly confident Hidden Mist figures and said indifferently.

Ok?

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Hidden Mist Villagers immediately became tense.

"I agree."

Yubi smiled too.

Whoosh!

Without further ado, several Hidden Mist members immediately dispersed and attacked the tree trunk where the three were standing from various directions.

One of them wielded a chain-like weapon, swinging it through the air. One end of the chain was attached to a sharp scythe, which was aimed at the scorpion's neck.

Meanwhile, the other Hidden Mist Ninja, who was also the fastest, mysteriously "disappeared" in mid-air while using a tree trunk to move. The forest was already shrouded in a light mist, and the light was slightly dim, which was perfect for using some ninjutsu that deceived the senses.

With a mere flick of his finger, the 'puppet' that had been gripping the chains and leaping nearby into the mist... was instantly suspended in mid-air and embraced by him.

The puppet's arms were wrapped tightly around Wuyin's body like shackles.

Then... the puppet's neck flipped open, revealing the mechanism.

No matter how much Kirigakure struggled, it was all in vain. The puppet and Kirigakure fell from mid-air together. When they hit the ground, Kirigakure's entire face had been cut open by the puppet's mechanism, and blood was splattered all over the ground.

Meanwhile, on Yubi's side...

His gaze seemed unable to find the 'invisible' Mist Shadow.

But then, a few meters away, the sound of a drop of blood piercing through an object could be heard.

A corpse then fell down.

He arranged and dispersed many blood droplets around their team, forming a seemingly simple 'domain'.

Although it doesn't reach the level of the Third Kazekage's impenetrable defenses, as long as the enemy doesn't notice and appears near the blood bead, they will be attacked immediately... This simple use of the ability is not enough for him to form hand seals to unleash it.

Almost at the same time that Kirigakure made their move, Sasori and Yubi did not move.

However, Arai, an elite Jonin, preemptively struck.

Arai ignored the Kirigakure attackers and went straight for the target further back, striking with lightning speed.

With several strong gusts of wind whistling and pulling through the forest, the entire Mist Shadow Squad was quickly wiped out.

After finishing everything, Arai jumped back onto the tree trunk and stood between the two of them. His lips moved slightly, as if he were saying something to Sasori and Yubi.

Behind several tree trunks, nearly a hundred meters away from them.

Several figures clung to the tree bark, a chill running down their spines.

They "witnessed" this scene.

This is also a four-person Konoha team.

A special Jonin serves as the teacher, and the remaining three are students.

The few Kirigakure members who attacked Sunagakure were actually there for them... but unexpectedly they ended up fighting the three Sunagakure members in front of them.

Their squad and the Leaf Village squad, currently outside the forest in the thick white fog, were on the same mission. The two squads were working together and helping each other.

After being discovered and pursued by the Hidden Mist Village, the two teams split up and fled... without engaging in combat.

For teachers, protecting students' safety is always the top priority.

But unexpectedly, neither team managed to shake off the Hidden Mist's people...

Even though this place is far from the battlefield, the ninjas active in the Land of Rice Fields are diverse, so it's normal for there to be people from Sunagakure here.

The teacher leading the team initially hoped that Kirigakure and Sunagakure would fight each other so that they could reap the benefits, but he did not expect that the three seemingly "outnumbered" Sunagakure members would take down Kirigakure in a short time.

It was a complete rout...

"Especially...those two boys."

As the team leader and also a teacher, Yano secretly peeked half his head out from behind the tree, carefully observing the three 'black dots'.

If another Konoha team can successfully defeat Kirigakure and reunite with them... they might still have a fighting chance against Sunagakure.

The only adult in the opposing team... judging from the efficiency in killing Hidden Mist Village, is definitely a Jonin.

His strength is definitely superior to his!

With such a powerful figure present, his three students would likely be doomed if they were discovered.

"That red-haired one is a puppeteer... Although he's very young, he could instantly defeat Kirigakure, so he's at least a Chunin level. I didn't notice the other kid's abilities at all... but he's probably quite strong too. The real troublesome one is the man standing between them..."

Yano's eyes, which were moving around, became somewhat stiff.

This trio from Sunagakure is definitely not an ordinary training team.

Instead, it was a task force with extensive experience.

During this period, the Sunagakure people who were able to come to the Land of Rice Fields were definitely mainly there to gather intelligence on the battlefield.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, Yano thought of something.

Three people…

One big and two small, especially the two little devils.

Suddenly, Yano's expression changed slightly.

He remembered something: nearly a year ago, a Sand Village squad intercepted their Konoha resource transport team. Because the route was exposed, the village had to find a new transport route.

This incident happened during wartime, which is quite normal... The reason it caught the village's attention was because this Sand Village squad only had three members... Moreover, in the subsequent pursuit by the village, the enemy killed two of their village's veteran Jonin.

This is a very "serious" loss for the village.

In addition, some time ago... when Konoha and Iwagakure were fighting fiercely, a Sand Village squad frequently harassed the rear of the battle line. Although the impact was not significant, it was still known to some units.

This squad was very cunning. Because of its small size, it only maneuvered around the small front lines and frequently moved around. Given the situation on the front lines at the time, it was not convenient to target them.

The main thing is that the person leading the team is very experienced... he's obviously a veteran.

The village later consolidated its information and confirmed that this Sunagakure squad was the same trio that had killed Ryosuke and Otani.

Ryosuke was killed by the enemy's elite Jonin, while Otani... apparently died at the hands of one of the boys.

Otani is a renowned taijutsu master in their village, and a veteran Jonin.

"It's them... Arai from Sunagakure, and the genius puppeteer from Sunagakure... I think his name is Sasori... As for that brat... is he the guy who killed Otani? His name is... Yubi?" Thinking of this, Yano felt a chill run down his spine.

The reason Konoha knew so much about the three was not only due to its powerful intelligence gathering capabilities, but also thanks to the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan. At that time, Yamanaka Inoichi had already accurately sensed the three of them and confirmed Arai's identity through Ryosuke's description... which also brought Sasori and Yubi into the village's view.

"Oh no..."

Yano swallowed hard.

Unbeknownst to him, a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

He gestured to the students hiding behind a tree a few meters away.

The message conveyed left the three students stunned, their faces turning deathly pale.

At that moment, Yano suddenly noticed that Arai seemed to be whispering something to Sasori and Yubi.

A bad feeling immediately set off alarm bells in his mind.

Whoosh.

The next second, in his eyes, the three black dots that were originally standing on the tree instantly turned into streaks of light in different directions and disappeared.

"Run! Run into the fog!"

Yano's pupils contracted, and he immediately shouted.

He knew... his squad had been discovered!
