Chapter 98: You Are Still Too Young
Notes: Editing in a car coming back from a funeral is real fun, no?
Uehara had used a weird summoning technique to kill the Third Kazekage in a matter of seconds. This series of events was really hard to understand.
Not only did Orochimaru not understand, but Sasori and Deidara were also confused.
Sasori asked directly, “What happened?”
“I do not know.”
Uehara also shook his head with a confused look, “Kisame gave me a summon contract, saying that his shark summoned beast was very strong and could kill any enemy, but it only attacks once and would then disappear.”
“Is this one of Kisame’s summoned beasts?”
Sasori suddenly thought.
Deidara next also had some lingering fears, “Isn’t that shark face Uchiha Itachi’s teammate? He been hiding such a strong summoned beast?”
“Yeah, I didn’t expect it either.”
Uehara nodded, agreeing with Deidara’s words.
Earlier, he had wanted to use the giant shark assault to try to deal with the Impure World Reincarnation.
After all, people who reincarnated from the impure world were immortal and possessed unlimited Chakra. Unless someone could seal him, there was nothing they could do.
Even an immortal fly buzzing around was annoying, let alone the Third Kazekage.
Unexpectedly, after summoning the Great Shark Bullet Technique, a repeat of the scene with the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, occurred. The Great Shark Bullet directly swallowed the Third Kazekage’s soul.
As for why the black pot was thrown to Kisame… Did anyone make Kisame like to raise sharks and also speak badly of him?
Uehara took a peek at the system panel.
[Side Mission: Defeat the Third Kazekage (1/1)]
[Reward: 100 gold coins]
He defeated the Third Kazekage, but the strongest Kazekage only awarded him 100 gold coins. Why was the Third Kazekage so useless?
This reward was way too shabby.
Sasori, who was only fifteen years old, could kill the Third Kazekage, so this was nothing worth mentioning.
“The ugly guys in Kirigakure can’t be underestimated…”
The Sasori’s surprise slowly subsided, and he looked up at Orochimaru and Kabuto opposite them. He violently pulled out the Third Kazekage puppets and rushed over, “Huh, now that’s the Third Kazekage is gone, they don’t qualify to fight us!”
“…go!”
Orochimaru quickly dragged Kaburo back.
A smoke bomb was thrown on the ground by Kabuto, spewing out a large amount of dust, and the two took this opportunity to quietly disappear.
“Did they escape?”
Deidara rushed over with a giant white clay bird, staring at the deserted dune, trying to find traces of the two.
Uehara checked the Destiny display panel, only to see Orochimaru and Kabuto quickly escaping. He whispered his analysis and said, “Could it be the Moguragakure no Jutsu (Hiding Like a Mole Technique)?”
“It won’t be easy to find them…”
Sasori frowned, looked at Uehara, and said, “Why don’t you and Deidara chase down Orochimaru. I’ll go and kill that ninja and the red-haired kid to help you deal with the issues the Sunagakure will bring.”
“I’ll go there myself!”
Uehara shook his head and said with a stubborn look, “That red-haired kid is the Sunagakure Jinchuriki. I want to take him back and give it to Konan-sensei as a gift.”
“Ichibi?”
Sasori took back the Third Kazekage’s puppets and tried to persuade him, “If you grab a Jinchuriki, it’ll arouse the coveting heart of the other big ninja villages. Pain would definitely not agree with you.”
After Sasori finished speaking, he continued, “No one in Akatsuki was more familiar with the high-level people in Sunagakure than me. Killing Rasa will only cause hostility with the Sunagakure. If Shukaku is also caught, Sunagakure will tirelessly send people to harass the Land of Rain.
In the current situation, when information on the Jinchurikis of other big ninja villages has not been wholly obtained, it might hinder Akatsuki’s plan. “
“Sasori-senpai.”
Uehara narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, “I’ll leave Senpai the affairs of the Sunagakure, but Akatsuki’s official members must act in pairs. Get Deidara to go with senpai! I’ll go chase Orochimaru!”
“Are you going to hunt down Orochimaru?”
Sasori slowly turned his head and looked at Uehara, and said, “Even for me, that guy is tricky to deal with. If you die at his hands, it would be a little troublesome…”
“Do not worry!”
Uehara shook his head and continued quietly, “I’m just going to try… and if the situation becomes unfavorable. I will immediately flee in the direction of the Sunagakure and join you.”
After speaking, Uehara added, “Also, I got information from a Suna ninja. They’re planning to ask a consultant named Chiyo from the Sunagakure to come out.
Chiyo lives in an oasis outside Sunagakure. If Sasori-senpai wants to start peace talks, you could first contact her. I’m guessing that that old woman should be weaker than you, right? “
Sasori tilted his head to look at Uehara. He nodded and suddenly said, “I see. I hope you survive your encounter with Orochimaru.”
Even if they contacted Chiyo about peace talks, it probably would not be long before the Land of Rain was invaded by Suna ninjas.
In turn, they would use the Jinchuriki to threaten Sunagakure into a peace agreement, forcing Sunagakure to abandon the grudges Uehara brought by killing the Fourth Kazekage.
It would have been okay if it was an average high-level member of the Sunagakure, but his grandmother, Chiyo, was the staunchest ninja in Sunagakure!
As one of the founders of Sunagakure, Chiyo had never capitulated to the outside world, and she has consistently used violence to control violence.
Uehara was still too young!
Sasori already had a plan in his heart.
The next thing he had to do was to capture the Sunagakure’s Jinchuriki. Then with the help of his spies in the Village, a suggestion would be passed to the leaders. It would say that they should prioritize the overall situation and give up the investigation to avoid causing more losses.
According to Sasori’s understanding, if his grandmother Chiyo came out in such a crisis, his uncle Ebizo would definitely follow.
Ebizo would definitely agree to this more sensible proposal.
Their group separated, Uehara left them to chase Oshemaru alone.
Sasori looked at the Uehara’s figure disappearing into the sky, formed the handseal for Astral Projection Jutsu, and injected Chakra into his ring.
Tendo Pain, on the other side, received the message.
After a while, the illusory figures of Tendo Pain, Konan, Sasori, and Deidara appeared in a secret room.
Konan asked doubtfully, “Sasori, what’s the matter?”
“Something went wrong.”
Sasori briefly reported the situation, including Uehara’s killing of the Fourth Kazekage and attempting to capture a Jinchuriki. Sasori then explained how he was about to go to the Sunagakure to deal with the problems left behind by Uehara.
After Sasori had said everything, he added, “I am a little worried about that kid hunting and killing Orochimaru alone, but that kid Uehara decided to do so…”
“Do not worry.”
After listening, Pain nodded and said, “Before we get information on all the tailed beasts, it’s indeed not the right time to catch the Ichibi. You and Deidara will first go ahead and deal with the issues in the Sunagakure!”
After the exchange, Pain turned off the Astral Projection Jutsu.
Deidara looked at Sasori in a puzzled manner, “Sasori, you seem very worried about that intern!”
“Huh, you’re still too young.”
Sasori shook his head and manipulated Hiruko into climbing up Deidara’s giant clay bird, “That kid gave me expensive materials. He’ll also become an official member of the Akatsuki in the future. Even if he’s a tard strong, he should return to the Land of Rain to ensure his safety.
After all, Orochimaru is not someone he can easily deal with. “
