Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

"It's those two..."

One month later, at the border of the Land of Wind.

The main forces of Iwagakure and Sunagakure converged here.

The representative from Iwagakure glanced past Rasa and looked towards the two kids standing behind him, his eyes fixed on Yubi and Sasori.

It was somewhat incongruous to have two teenagers standing in the management of the Sunagakure forces.

"That... is Yubi."

Shan Ying, standing beside the representative, took a deep breath, stared at Youbi, his eyes filled with barely suppressed killing intent.

"..."

Kouto, son of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, sized up Yubi, then looked away without saying a word.

They walked straight toward Luo Sha, who was walking toward the two of them.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two walked face to face and shook hands symbolically.

This also signifies the official end of the war between Iwagakure and Sunagakure.

The two sides reached a so-called peace agreement.

However, both sides knew that this "peace" was only temporary... Both villages had their own reasons for ceasing hostilities.

The grudges between them cannot be easily erased.

"Congratulations to Sunagakure for producing two promising young talents... I didn't expect that, besides Konoha, Sunagakure is also quite adept at cultivating new talents."

"If it were during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Yubi and Sasori might have grown even faster... It's not impossible that they'll become the pillars of your Sunagakure in the future..."

Huang Tu stared at Luo Sha and laughed heartily. It seemed like a compliment, but upon closer examination, it was rather intriguing.

Huangtu and Luosha were of similar age and had fought each other many times, so they knew each other somewhat.

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha glanced at Huang Tu without making a sound, and then... turned around and joined the team.

He led the main force of Sunagakure away.

After communication between the Kazekage and Tsuchikage, the two villages eventually reached a ceasefire agreement based on the situation at the front lines.

Sunagakure sent Rasa as their representative, while Iwagakure naturally sent Huangtu.

In the final moments before the war ended, after a series of defeats, Iwagakure ultimately lacked the courage to launch a final offensive and risk even greater casualties to fight Sunagakure to the death.

Without excessive procedures or so-called ceremonies, the two armies that had been frequently clashing since the beginning of the Ninja World War finally came to an end on this day.

This was actually much faster than Sunagakure had anticipated... because Iwagakure had always had the upper hand in terms of military strength against Sunagakure. If they didn't have a certain advantage, Iwagakure wouldn't have threatened to annex some of the Land of Wind's territory, frequently putting pressure on Sunagakure, and they certainly wouldn't have just sent a large force to garrison the Land of Birds and sat back and did nothing.

However... after Yubi and Sasori joined the fray, especially with the ninja tools Yubi acquired, the situation on the battlefield immediately took a sharp turn for the worse, forcing Iwagakure to stop.

Luo Sha knew very well that Huang Tu's praise of Scorpion and Youbi was a psychological tactic to win him over.

Because of his return to the front lines, he clearly noticed that everyone in the entire unit had great faith in and respect for Yubi and Sasori, even though they were just two kids... Not only did their performance on the battlefield win over the village's ninjas, but their transformation and training of the troops was also evident to all.

This already demonstrates that...the two have gained sufficient prestige within the team.

The troops are mostly young people... They were originally his soldiers, but now they have become the foundation of Scorpion and Yubi's reputation in the village.

The younger generation of Sunagakure will undoubtedly determine the future direction of the village. Moreover, after returning to the village, these ninjas will exchange information and share stories from the battlefield. In this way, Sasori and Yubi's achievements will become known to more of the older generation.

This gave Luo Sha a slight sense of crisis.

Although in terms of military achievements, his status as the number one of the new generation is unshakeable.

Moreover, he, Yubi, and Scorpion are not exactly from the same generation... but the speed at which these two little guys have risen to prominence is somewhat beyond expectations.

Before he arrived, the troops had already received advance notice that a ceasefire was to be reached with Iwagakure. At the last minute, Shimizu, who was the commander-in-chief, promoted Yubi and Sasori, making Yubi the vice-captain of the medical team and Sasori the vice-captain of the puppeteer unit.

Shimizu, however, was one of his old subordinates.

The current Sunagakure army... is mostly composed of his loyal followers, including Shimizu.

But... Yubi and Sasori have already had a significant impact on this unit.

……

Back at their base, the soldiers began packing their belongings, their faces beaming with joy as they prepared to return to their village.

This joy... is far more exhilarating than winning a major battle.

It comes from the bottom of my heart.

Because many of them, especially the older ones, haven't been home for several years.

People like Yubi and Sasori only joined temporarily after the Fourth Shinobi World War ended and did not participate from beginning to end.

The deadline for these battlefield missions is that they will not end until the very last moment, as long as the war continues.

Now that the conflict with Iwagakure has subsided and the pressure on the border has been greatly reduced, the village will send new recruits for regular garrison duties, and the old folks can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Many people even had red eyes and shed tears.

Those who have never experienced the trials of war will never understand.

Some people survived by sheer luck, but many more have already passed away.

When we came to the battlefield, everyone was full of enthusiasm and ready to make great achievements. When we returned, the only thing we were grateful for was that we were still alive.

Yubi took the initiative to approach Rasa and handed over the ninja tool, Military Music, to him.

The plan is to hand it over to the village's higher-ups through Luo Sha.

His willingness to hand over the items undoubtedly demonstrates his attitude.

That is... he had no intention of taking this ninja tool for himself.

Seeing Yubi's smiling face, Luo Sha's serious and cold expression softened slightly.

He did sense a threat from Yubi and Scorpion... but looking at Yubi's personality, he felt that he didn't have that much "scheming". This boy was optimistic by nature, and although he was very smart, he didn't seem like a natural-born manipulator.

To put it bluntly... he doesn't seem to have much interest in power. Even if it might be a pretense, at least for the time being, the feeling he gave Rasa was... very good.

His opinion of Yubi remained the same: Yubi might be a "trump card" for Sunagakure's future, but such a person was definitely not suitable to be a leader.

If possible, it would be best to "win over" Yubi to your side.

Compared to Yubi, Rasa is actually more 'afraid' of... Scorpion.

"The village has received news...you and Scorpion are both wanted on the black market."

Rasa also tried to activate the ninja tool, Military Music, but found it was useless.

He had already learned about the ninja tool from Shimizu, so he was not disappointed.

He said to Yubi.

"The underground black market, huh..."

Yubi repeated a sentence.

It is an organization similar to a gold exchange.

Previously, his and Scorpion's reputations were only known to a limited number of people.

But later on... I'm afraid more and more people will hear about their names.

Without a doubt, the person who could issue a warrant for their arrest is most likely related to Iwagakure, and might even be the daimyo of the Land of Earth.

Although the conflicts between the villages have been temporarily put aside, the various grudges and hatreds remain unresolved... On the surface, there is no longer any fighting, but that does not mean that we cannot use other means to achieve our goals.

Even if you can't do that... it's good to disgust your opponent.

Shimizu and others had previously said that his and Sasori's nicknames would gradually become known throughout the ninja world, and this was also taken into consideration.

"Even if I'm not wanted, given the hatred Iwagakure harbors for me... they'll probably try to pass on my abilities and bloodline limits to other villages. Maybe... they can use the power of those other villages to kill me..." Yubi smiled lightly.

It seemed as if they didn't feel any pressure at all.

Logically speaking, most people would feel somewhat panicked or scared upon hearing this.

Yubi, however, had none of these.

"You and Sasori are no longer ordinary ninjas... If you want to grow in the ninja world, you must be prepared in this regard."

"The strong who can stand firm in the ninja world... are almost all wanted criminals. Everything depends on strength. As long as you are strong enough, you can ignore these petty tricks."

"But...you two should still be careful."

Luo Sha hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Um."

Yubi.
