Chapter 316 Naruto Joins the Battle
"Heh, so these are the Akatsuki members? They're nothing special."
Just as Kankuro was feeling smug, a large amount of sand suddenly gushed out of the Black Ant Puppet's bleeding port.
Upon seeing this sand, Kankuro immediately realized that something was amiss.
"What?!"
Kankuro immediately activated the Black Ant Puppet.
Then came a shocking scene: the scorpion, imprisoned in the puppet and stabbed multiple times, had turned into yellow sand.
"This is a sand double!"
While the Sand Substitution Technique is a widely known ninjutsu in Sunagakure, it's only practiced within the village. How did this Akatsuki member learn it?!
Considering that most of the Akatsuki members were rogue ninja, Kankuro already had a pretty good idea in mind.
The guy in front of us is very likely a rogue ninja from Sunagakure.
"Have you had enough? It's time to end this childish game of pretend."
Sasori silently appeared behind Kankuro, flicked his tail, and stabbed directly at Kankuro's heart.
"Salamander!"
Kankuro flicked the chakra threads in his hand, and the puppet salamander that had been by his side immediately went into defensive stance.
"Cough!"
The scorpion's tail struck the shield erected by the salamander and was instantly deflected.
"Hahaha, you didn't expect that, did you? The salamander's defense is invincible. It can withstand the impact of a boulder weighing over ten tons without any problem."
Are you sure?
Kankuro hadn't been laughing for long when Sasori's tail launched another attack.
"Whoosh!"
"Click!"
A shield flew high into the air; it was the shield of the puppet salamander.
"No matter how sturdy a puppet is, the defense of its movable joints will inevitably be lower than that of other parts, and that is its weakness."
Kankuro was already covered in sweat at this moment.
"This is boring. Let's end it here. I didn't come here to play games with kids."
"Damn it, don't underestimate me! Take this, Puppet Theater!"
Kankuro directly manipulated the three puppets to launch an attack on Sasori.
Facing the three puppets, Sasori simply stood still, waving his tail to block Kankuro's attacks.
No matter how hard Kankuro tried, he couldn't hurt Sasori even a little.
"Damn it, how did this guy know I was going to use every move and block it so precisely!"
This was the first time Kankuro had encountered such a formidable enemy since becoming a puppeteer and acquiring these three puppets.
"Boring, I said I've had enough fun."
Scorpion snorted coldly, and its tail, which was no longer just for defense, began to attack.
"Crack—!"
With a crisp sound, the puppet crow flying in the air was instantly shattered.
This time, however, it wasn't a deliberate disintegration, but rather a complete and utter destruction.
Next came the puppet black ant and the puppet salamander. Scorpion accurately found the flaws in these puppet dolls and precisely crushed them.
If a puppeteer loses his puppet, he will lose 80% of his combat power.
"Your house game is over. Now you can die!"
With a flick of its tail, the scorpion thrust straight at Kankuro.
Kankuro tried to dodge, but he was no match for Sasori.
Just as the scorpion's tail was about to pierce Kankuro, a figure suddenly appeared.
"Spiral pills!"
Naruto descended from the sky and slammed a Rasengan directly into Sasori's tail.
The Rasengan is extremely destructive, directly shattering a section of Sasori's tail.
"What?!"
The scorpion retracted its tail and reassembled a segment.
He looked at the guy who had suddenly interfered with him with some surprise.
"It's you! Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha."
That's right, it was Naruto who made the move.
Although he is much more disciplined than before after becoming a Jonin.
But that doesn't mean he would just stand by and watch the tragedy happen.
Kankuro is Gaara's family member, and he knows what it feels like to be without family, so he won't stand by and watch that happen.
"It's you, Naruto Uzumaki! What brings you here?"
Kankuro was also somewhat surprised, as he naturally knew that the Konoha exchange group was in Sunagakure.
However, now that something like this has happened in Sunagakure, shouldn't they stay obediently in the inn and wait for the matter to be over before being questioned by Sunagakure and trying to prove their innocence?
Why is he here? What is this guy thinking?
Doesn't he know that this will increase suspicion on them and make people suspect that they might want to take advantage of the chaos to do something?
"Yes, I'm here too."
Naruto scratched the back of his head and said.
“I’m thinking about this too, but my gut feeling tells me that if you keep watching, something bad will happen to you. You’re Gaara’s family, and Gaara will be heartbroken if something happens to you.”
Gaara!
Kankuro looked up at the sky and saw Gaara fighting Deidara. However, he would occasionally be distracted by the situation below, which made him somewhat passive.
"Your puppets have all been destroyed. Leave here first, and I'll take care of the battle here."
Naruto signaled to Kankuro to leave as soon as possible.
Kankuro looked at Naruto and then at Gaara.
He finally nodded.
"I understand. I'll trouble you to cover for me for a while while I go get a spare puppet."
"it is good."
Seeing that Naruto had agreed, Kankuro quickly left to find his spare puppet.
"Naruto! Now we're in a really bad situation."
Sakura patted her forehead anxiously. Just as she thought, Naruto had rushed out again.
Kakashi sighed.
"It's too late to say anything now. Things have come to this point, so let's stop watching and join forces to help Sunagakure solve this problem first."
As for any other problems, let the Hokage deal with them when the time comes.
With that, Kakashi leaped down the corridor and headed straight for the battlefield.
"Naruto-kun!"
Hinata was more worried about Naruto's situation than the situation in Sunagakure.
"Sigh, I really can't do anything with you guys!"
Seeing that everyone else had gone up, Sakura had no choice but to follow suit.
Sasori looked at Naruto and spoke.
"Although you are also one of our targets, it's a pity that you are not the target of our group. I have never liked to interfere in other people's tasks, so be sensible and disappear from my sight right now."
"Am I also your mission target?"
Naruto frowned; he quickly realized what was going on.
"Your target is the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts! You're after Gaara!"
"Very clever, but the entire ninja world will know about this soon, so don't be surprised."
The scorpion manipulated its mechanical tail, poised to strike.
"Since you're unwilling to move aside, I don't mind taking you back with me."
