Sasori of the Red Sands was somewhat excited. He hadn't found any suitable materials for human puppets in the past two days, despite slaughtering two small ninja villages.
He was about to call it a day, but unexpectedly, he encountered an interesting fellow just as he was leaving.
He looked at Naraku's slender figure and then spoke:
"To think someone with such skinny arms and legs could destroy one of my puppets. Truly remarkable. But it doesn't matter. I believe that after I turn you into a work of art, you will definitely be even better than him!"
Sasori of the Red Sands chuckled and suddenly pulled a scroll from behind him, spreading it out on the ground.
It takes 3.5 seconds to complete the hand seals for teleportation. Not enough time…
Since there's no time, just go for it!
Naraku wasn't like those anime characters who valued honor, waiting for you to prepare your skills before unleashing them. Wouldn't that be foolish?
Who cares if it's fair and square or if I sneak up and bash your head in? As long as I can kill you.
(You want to rip out my tendons and take my bones? You wish!)
Naraku was furious. Everyone was lusting after her body!
Almost simultaneously with Sasori unrolling his scroll, Naraku began forming hand seals!
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
After a puff of white smoke, the Shadow Clone Naraku didn't hesitate, immediately clapping her hands together!
"Fire Style: Great Dragon Flame Technique!"
A giant fire dragon, nearly six meters in diameter, erupted from her mouth, attacking Sasori of the Red Sands directly.
(So fast!)
How did the Fire Style come out with just a clap? This speed really startled Sasori. He didn't dare to be negligent either. He quickly bit his finger and pressed it on a huge "three" character on a scroll!
Boom!
Immediately afterward, the Fire Style: Great Dragon Flame Technique collided with Sasori of the Red Sands' position and caused a violent explosion.
Probably because the Fire Style: Great Dragon Flame Technique was too huge, the resulting explosion's power also increased dramatically.
Even the four houses next to the street were affected, turning into a pile of useless charcoal or rubble!
"Damn it, the troublesome thing is out!"
Naraku knew something was wrong when she saw that the Fire Style: Great Dragon Flame Technique didn't push the target away but exploded in place.
Sure enough, before the smoke had even cleared, Sasori's cold voice echoed from within.
"Iron Sand Shower!"
Naraku cursed Sasori, thinking he was a perverted psychopath lusting after her body.
The Third Kazekage Puppet had already been summoned; if this kept up, wouldn't she be finished?
Although the current Sasori of the Red Sands wasn't as terrifyingly strong as he was when he fought Sakura and Chiyo in the original story, he was still far beyond the level of a regular elite Jonin.
Especially his Third Kazekage Puppet, which was a freak of nature.
Naraku steeled her resolve, cut her finger, and formed hand seals again.
"Summoning Technique."
A puff of white smoke appeared, and an Ocean Wyvern nearly ten meters long materialized on the narrow village street.
The Ocean Wyvern flapped its wings, and an irresistible energy frantically spread outwards, accompanied by howling winds.
All the dense black sand needles that were shot towards Naraku were blown away.
Fortunately, there was the Ocean Wyvern. With such a dense sand shower, it would have been impossible to dodge with her own abilities.
Next time, it seems she should consider learning a defensive ninjutsu.
The next second, the smoke and dust dissipated, and a massive shield made of dense black iron sand blocked in front of Sasori.
This iron sand, which was both offensive and defensive, was really tricky. At least, the current Naraku had almost no way to deal with him.
It was obviously unwise to fight head-on against a guy who was even stronger than a high-level Jonin. It would be better to find an opportunity to use teleportation and go home.
"Excellent, little girl, I'm starting to like you more and more. You'll make a wonderful work of art. Let's continue!"
[Congratulations to the host, your favorability with Sasori has increased, and you have received 30 currency.]
"Are you f*cking serious?!"
Hearing the system's favorability prompt, Naraku didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed. This guy was even less reliable than Orochimaru.
Naraku didn't want him to catch her and rip out her heart and lungs. She leaped and landed on the back of the Ocean Wyvern.
"You won't escape!"
Sasori's fingers twitched slightly. The Third Kazekage Puppet's hands shot out two steel blades, charging towards Naraku with lightning speed.
"So fast!"
Naraku hadn't thought much of it when she watched the anime, but now that she was actually fighting Sasori, she realized that this Third Kazekage's movements were incredibly fast. Even with the Sharingan, her body couldn't react in time.
It seemed that with her current speed, just reaching the Jonin level, she was at a disadvantage fighting this guy.
"Intentional Pummeling!"
Unable to do anything else, Naraku could only choose to take the hit head-on. The Third Kazekage Puppet swung its dual blades, and the sound of creak, creak filled the air as they struck Naraku's body.
Naraku's mask shattered, and the clothes on her body were instantly torn apart. Even her snow-white skin was marked with two bloody cuts.
Then, she unleashed the Intentional Pummeling. The Third Kazekage Puppet quickly retreated, but it was still punched into the sand.
"Die!"
Sasori grinned, convinced that he was the superior one. Even if this girl was strong, having been exposed to his poison, she probably couldn't move anymore.
However, just then, Naraku's Shadow Clones suddenly attacked Sasori of the Red Sands's main body. The Third Kazekage Puppet was driven into the sand and couldn't provide immediate support, but Sasori wasn't worried at all.
He flicked his fingers, and the two dark red puppets beside him instantly moved forward, attacking Naraku's Shadow Clones from the left and right.
"Strong Hand Skull Split!"
"What's going on?"
Before Sasori's two puppets could get close, they were bound by a powerful energy, and no matter how Sasori controlled them, they didn't react at all!
The two puppets were instantly grabbed by Naraku and then slammed together!
"Amazing!"
Naraku then grabbed a puppet, leaped high into the air, and slammed it down onto Sasori's main body.
Sasori, though a puppeteer, was weak in close combat. However, his body had already been transformed into a puppet.
Therefore, this fatal flaw no longer existed.
He leaped into the air instantly.
"BOOM!"
The ground within a radius of seven to eight hundred square meters shattered instantly, houses collapsed, and sand and dust filled the sky!
However, Sasori's puppet body was not at all flustered. A steel blade suddenly shot out from his hand, instantly returning and piercing into Naraku's chest.
Unexpectedly, the moment the steel blade pierced Naraku's body, she exploded…
"Nani?"
The "boom" of explosions mixed with terrifying flames that rapidly spread outwards.
A gust of wind blew past, and Sasori of the Red Sands's figure suddenly jumped out from the smoke. However, half of his hair was gone, and his right arm was completely blown off.
His body was also charred black, clearly showing he was seriously injured.
"Damn it, I will kill you!"
Sasori was truly enraged. He really hadn't expected that he, the great Sasori of the Red Sands, would be beaten so miserably by a little girl!
The explosion just now was too sudden. If he hadn't reacted quickly and retreated, the explosion would probably have been enough to destroy his main body!
A cloud of sand and dust rose in the distance, and the Third Kazekage Puppet, which had just been knocked away by Naraku, jumped out again.
Just as he wanted to launch another attack, a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air.
It was Konan, wearing the black robe with red clouds and with huge paper wings on her back!
"Enough, stop fighting."
Konan's expression was indifferent. She looked at the beautiful girl panting heavily on the Ocean Wyvern's back, and then at the exasperated Sasori of the Red Sands. She continued slowly:
"Are you interested in joining the Akatsuki Organization? Our organization's activities just happen to need your strength."
