Chapter 96: Gathering
Chapter 96: Gathering
Deidara was a bit ignorant.
Uehara heard this guy despising him from a distance and subconsciously frowned, “Don’t be too talkative, or else you would die early.”
“Is that an intern’s attitude towards an official member?”
Deidara arrogantly stepped on the giant white clay bird and slowly flew to Uehara’s side. He held his shoulders and said, “If you were willing to beg me, I might help you grab the two people you’re chasing!”
“…”
Uehara tilted his head.
Was Deidara still sane?
The last time they were next to the body of Hanzo, Deidara offended him and Konan. If it weren’t for the fact that Deidara was a newcomer, his grave grass would have already sprouted.
A man who Sasuke killed in the future dared to provoke him?
“Shut up, Deidara!”
Sasori stopped their conflict with a shout.
He knew the relationship between Uehara and Konan.
Sasori knew how much that woman loved her little disciple…
He didn’t want his new teammates to offend people he couldn’t offend.
Although Deidara was a bit talkative, he was a qualified teammate.
Sasori looked up at the two people in the sky and asked softly, “Uehara, why was Konan willing to let you risk your life?”
“…Hey, hey, I’m a ninja!”
Uehara glanced at Sasori with black lines all over his head. His eyes moved slowly and landed on the bodies of Orochimaru and Kabuto as if he had seen a rare treasure.
Baki looked a little desperate.
He didn’t expect to reencounter enemies as they ran away.
Uehara was chasing after them like a cat trailing behind a mouse. Baki could only grab Gaara in his hurry and constantly be ready to fight to the death.
When Baki saw people fighting in the desert, he thought they might have encountered the ninjas from the village and immediately rushed over to get support.
But the ninjas here were also enemies.
Was there anything more depressing than this?
However, when Baki saw the Third Kazekage Impure World Reincarnation standing next to Orochimaru, his face suddenly became surprised and happy, “That’s the Third Kazekage-sama!”
Although he didn’t know why the Third Kazekage, who had been missing for many years, appeared here, Baki at least had a trace of hope. The Third Kazekage was very likely to be on their side!
And if the Third Kazekage could return to the village, whether for their escape or the Sunagakure, it would be perfect!
Since the Fourth Kazekage died in the battle, Sunagakure would face an embarrassing situation where there were no suitable Kazekage candidates.
He didn’t expect the Third Kazekage to show up.
This was the ninja known as the strongest Kazekage. The revival of Sunagakure would be just around the corner, right?
After the Fourth Hokage died in battle, the Third Hokage Sarutobi became the temporary replacement, so they could also do the same in Sunagakure.
“Is he a ninja of my village?”
The Third Kazekage heard Baki’s voice, looked up, and saw the ninja guard on Baki’s head and the red-haired boy next to him. His face was a little weird.
One side was a traitor from his village.
The other side was Orochimaru, one of Konoha’s Sannin.
Although he didn’t know why they fought, Kazekage still knew one thing.
Orochimaru and Sasori couldn’t finish their conflict in a short period. Still, they could easily deal with a passing Suna Ninja.
“Orochimaru.”
The Third Kazekage’s eyes turned slightly, looking at Orochimaru, and said, “Let’s make a deal! I won’t get rid of your control for the time being, but you have to help save this Sand ninja and help his child escape…”
The Third Kazekage initially didn’t want to join in.
But now that Baki and a villager’s child were being chased and killed, he couldn’t stand idly by.
“This won’t be a problem.”
Orochimaru looked at the Third Kazekage and said, “But you must also protect Kabuto and me and take us away from here together.”
The moment he saw Uehara, Orochimaru planned to escape. The Impure World Reincarnation experiment was still out of control. What could he do if he met Pain?
But now that the Third Kazekage took the initiative to cooperate, which meant he could test his strength.
Orochimaru wanted to see what kind of fighting power the Third Kazekage had after the Impure World Reincarnation. Could he fight Pain with his immortal body?
The Third Kazekage calmed down a little bit.
His gaze moved, looking at Gaara next to Baki, and said in a deep voice, “Hey, why did you take a child with you out to perform the mission? When we fight, you should take the child with you. I’ll cover your escape!”
“Third Kazekage-sama!”
Baki rushed over with Gaara and hesitatingly did not reveal Gaara’s identity. He opened his mouth and said, “Won’t the Third Kazekage go back with us?”
“I’m already dead.”
The Third Kazekage shook his head, and with a low voice, he continued, “I am a dead person resurrected by Orochimaru. I may be under his control, but I can help you this time. Next time, I may be your enemy.”
Hearing the Third Kazekage’s explanation, Baki became a little desperate.
The Third Kazekage didn’t know what Baki was thinking and just continued to ask, “How’s the situation of the village now? Who’s the Fourth Kazekage?”
“The situation in the village was okay for now…”
Baki’s face was a bit heavy, the stable situation in Sunagakure would last for a while, but with the death of the Fourth Kazekage, their future would definitely not be promising.
However, when talking about the topic of Fourth Kazekage, Baki finally gritted his teeth and said, “The Fourth Kazekage was Rasa-sama…Two days ago, he died in the Land of Rain to allow us to escape.”
Third Kazekage, “…”
Orochimaru, “…”
Kabuto, “…”
This news was huge.
It may cause the start of the Fourth Ninja War!
“Hey, hey, don’t be so bitter.”
Uehara fell on the side of Sasori, looking at the people on the opposite side. The smile in his eyes couldn’t be stopped, “I have Rasa’s body here. Would you like me to take it out?”
How many side missions did these people represent!
Even Baki had a side mission! Not to mention important people like Orochimaru and Kabuto. Every mission regarding Konoha’s Sannin had rich rewards.
Baki raised his finger at Uehara and explained in a deep voice, “Third Kazekage-sama, he killed Rasa-sama…”
“No way, this intern can kill a Kazekage too?”
Deidara fell from the sky, his face covered in surprise, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth after a while, “Heh, I shouldn’t underestimate anyone. It seems that everyone in the Akatsuki is a monster! Someday I’ll try it too!…”
Deidara was a dog, right?
Why did his face change so fast?
Uehara glanced at Gaara and said softly, “If you want to kill a Kazekage, it’s relatively simple. Sooner or later, you will have a chance.”
“Uehara, did you really kill Rasa?”
Sasori was a little surprised. He slowly controlled Hiruko to look at Uehara and said in a deep voice, “After the battle ends, give me Rasa’s body.”
Uehara shook his head and said, “Give me a reason.”
Sasori snorted, feeling a little dissatisfied, but thinking about the two people behind Uehara, he realized that he couldn’t beat either of them.
He paused and still explained, “His magnetic released gold dust can provide us with a lot of money, and Konan would agree.”
“Okay…”
Uehara threw the sealed scroll to Sasori.
Sasori’s reason was sufficient. Even for him, it was difficult to refuse. After all, apart from Impure World Reincarnation, only Sasori’s puppet could use a dead body to the greatest extent.
The most important thing was that Sasori took the things he gave. So would he dare prevent him from chasing Orochimaru?
