Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

……

I'll definitely make it up today, I'm so sorry!

I fell asleep on the sofa. A ton of things to do during the day—these are all just excuses, sorry!

Chapter 275: Akatsuki's First Battle

"This is the Land of Wind, where most of the country is desert, with only a few oases."

"Because the temperature difference between day and night is very large, that kind of thing appears at night."

At this point, Sasori looked at Hidan with a somber expression: "If you get eaten and digested into feces, it'll be a joke if you don't die. So... be honest."

Having just retrieved the Earth Grudge Fear that had been stitched up for Hidan, Kakuzu looked at Sasori and smiled, "I remember Uzumaki Sora revealed your past, so... is it a case of homesickness?"

"When you make your move, will you be able to bring yourself to kill the ninjas from your old village?"

Sasori ignored the provocation; with Pain behind him, the provocation was meaningless.

At this moment, Deidara said dejectedly, "Can't we just fly there? We finally get to go on a mission, and now we have to endure the wind and sun. With my clay, we can fly directly to Sunagakure."

Pain checked the time and location, then said to Deidara, "It's ready. Now, use your clay giant bird to take Kakuzu, Hidan, and Sasori outside Sunagakure."

Deidara asked in confusion, "Then, leader, you? With so many of you coming together, aren't you going to stretch your legs a bit?"

Pain said expressionlessly, "You will draw the attention of Sunagakure from the outside, while the Six Paths of Pain will begin carrying out the objective from the inside. Once completed, gather and leave."

Upon receiving the order, Dida stretched his hands to devour clay from the pouches on either side of his waist.

Then a model bird appeared in his hand, which he placed on the ground, and he formed a mudra with his hands.

"Oh!"

As the smoke cleared, a giant white bird appeared before us.

"Let's go, everyone. I'm going to show Sunagakure my art! I've been holding back for so long, I can't wait..."

The group landed on the giant bird one after another. Hidan, carrying the March Scythe, licked his lips with anticipation.

Sasori looked in the direction of Sunagakure, his expression blank, but his mind was filled with thoughts of the past.

“Sunagakure… As one of the five great ninja villages, there are many people with bounties on their heads among the targets. Although the prices are not high, they add up to a considerable sum.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant bird took off into the air.

The sand and gravel were kicked up, but were deflected by a force as they approached the Six Paths of Pain.

"Next, we'll begin."

With Nagato connecting them not far away, the Animal Path of Pain stepped forward.

Spiritual communication!

"Boom."

After the smoke, a giant Yatagarasu appeared.

Then the animal path standing on it also rose into the air.

……

Outside Sunagakure Village, forming the outermost perimeter of the security perimeter.

The Sand Village ninjas set up a large sensory barrier along the defensive line, which was like a series of steps.

In the middle of the defensive line, a road was left open, leading directly into the village of Sunagakure.

"It's been almost two years, and we haven't even found a trace of that Akatsuki organization or their sensory unit."

"I've heard that a lot of information about the Akatsuki comes from Konoha. Although they are allies, this could also be a conspiracy by Konoha."

"I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. I heard that some of the best members of the Sensory Unit want to form a joint search unit. Honestly, I will absolutely not cooperate with those bastards from Kirigakure!"

"And those traitors from Iwagakure, I'm not willing to cooperate with them either."

"Sigh... I wonder how long this heightened alert will last. Every day it's just sandstorms, and I'm eating a mouthful of sand. I might as well go back and have a good drink."

"okay!"

With a low shout, clearly from the team leader, he looked at the group and said, "The decisions of the village leadership are not for us to discuss. Focus on defense. If any enemy invades, we will be the first line of defense."

"understand!"

The reprimand did have some effect, but after they left, they returned to their normal state.

"Yura is just a newcomer, a guy who stepped in dog poop, he's really annoying."

"Stop talking, don't worry about being overheard."

"No matter what, he is the captain."

……

At the same time, the scorpion on the giant bird looked down.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Deidara, we can land now."

Xiao Di replied with dissatisfaction, "Senior Scorpion, I wanted to show them my art. If we land now, we might get surrounded."

Kakuzu glanced at Sasori and said, "So you've finally softened your heart? In this world, nothing is truly sincere except for money."

Sasori shook his head slightly: "No... I just feel that if we can complete part of the mission ahead of schedule, I have a piece in the Sand Village's defense line."

???

For a moment, all three of them were stunned.

The Sand Village is not very strong; it is probably only about the same strength as the Hidden Mist Village after the Blood Mist Village.

If there were another pawn working from within and without, then dealing with Sunagakure would be incredibly easy.

"Land."

Kakuzu agreed with Sasori's opinion.

However, Deidara said with an exaggerated expression, "If this guy is lying to us, we might get surrounded as soon as we go down!"

Hidan laughed nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? If we get surrounded, we've already achieved our goal of drawing attention."

With the score at three to one, Deidara sullenly pouted, but could only control the giant bird to land.

The four then walked towards the defensive line, only to find it completely deserted when they arrived.

"Da da da……"

Light footsteps sounded, and Yura, whose bangs covered half of her eyes, walked over.

He knelt on one knee and then spoke: "Lord Scorpion. Some of the people on the list happen to be here. Eight of them have already been killed by my subordinates. The rest are in the village."

Scorpion nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Yura. Have you recognized me yet? When your memories return, you will be my most loyal subordinate."

Yura bowed his head slightly again: "Understood, Lord Sasori."

Deidara, standing to the side, chuckled with interest: "This kind of technique is truly terrifying... But in this way, we can certainly make a scene inside."

The group continued walking inside.

Yura, who was following behind Sasori, said, "Those who weren't on the list have already been sent back. I believe Sunagakure will react soon."

Emerging from the end of the passage, Yura stepped forward and looked down at Sunagakure: "The defensive line that surrounds and protects Sunagakure like a siege is inherently the most difficult to breach. The sensory barrier has failed, and we've crossed this narrow passage."

"rustle……"

Dragging and sliding to Yura's side, Sasori, through the external puppet, also looked down at the village from his memories.

In an instant, the memories that were still intact came flooding back.

As scenes flashed through his mind, Scorpion's cold voice rang out: "What a pathetic village..."

Kakuzu glanced at Sasori, then said, "Deidara, we can begin."

Deidara glanced at Kakuzu: "In art, you're not Sasori-senpai. You haven't earned my approval yet, so don't act like you're giving orders!"

That being said, Deidara's hands were already in his pouch.

After forming hand seals, the smoke dissipated, and three giant flying birds appeared, taking off together with the previous one and heading towards Sunagakure.

"Let's say hello first. Cheers!"

In an instant, explosions rang out simultaneously from six directions in Sunagakure.

"boom!!!"

After the deafening roar, the once peaceful Sunagakure village descended into chaos.

The ANBU, who were originally heading this way, only turned their heads once before continuing their run.

"Shhhhh..."

Nearly thirty Sunagakure ANBU surrounded the four, with the leader's eyes fixed on Yura behind Sasori.

"Black clothes with red clouds, I never imagined that you, Yura, would be an Akatsuki spy."

As they were talking, one of the Sand Village ANBU members behind him could no longer contain his emotions: "I don't believe it! Captain Yura was the one who told us to increase our vigilance before, why? Why would it be betrayal!"

"laugh!"

A sneer rang out, and Deidara said disdainfully, "Why? Because you simply don't understand Sasori-senpai's art! As the recipient of that art, when his memories returned, he became Sasori-senpai's most loyal subordinate!"

Art?

Before the other party could think further, Scorpion was already getting impatient.

"Deidara, you're talking too much. The leader's mission needs to be completed. Let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Scorpion instantly collapsed to the ground, and with Hiruko's mouth open, countless books shot out.

"Shhhhh..."

Its wide attack range encompasses all enemies on the opposite side.

In an instant, all the enemies in front of them pulled out kunai to block and dodge.

Meanwhile, Kakuzu and Hidan's Sunagakure forces also began to move.

"puff!"
