"Clang!"
Just as the Third Kazekage was about to choose to fight to the death, fully unleashing his chakra, unable to suppress the poison in his body any longer, a slash wave came from afar, directly cutting through the small oasis, leaving a deep crack in the ground.
Seeing such a powerful attack, both of them instantly changed their expressions.
Only Sasori's pupils dilated, and he looked wary. He turned around and ran.
The Third Kazekage, on the other hand, looked delighted. This kind of slashing jutsu could only be used by that little devil named Kazeyuki.
If that little devil came, he could survive.
Although he didn't want Kazeyuki, who was born a civilian, to become the next Kazekage, as a shinobi under his leadership, Kazeyuki gave him a sense of security.
Sasori's puppets couldn't withstand that sharp Wind Release Slash. Or rather, no puppet could withstand this kind of slashing attack.
This was also the reason why Kazeyuki could surpass Sasori and become the top candidate for the next Kazekage, just like how he had subdued the puppeteer unit back then.
It was a pity that Kazeyuki wasn't from one of the three great clans. Otherwise, he would have been happy to let that little devil succeed him as Kazekage.
"Clang!"
As the Third Kazekage's thoughts were churning, another sharp slash came.
Sasori's fleeing body suddenly froze. Looking at the bottomless slash in front of him, he honestly stopped running and didn't continue to escape.
At this point, he hadn't developed human puppets yet.
Facing Kazeyuki's powerful attack that could cut through everything, his various puppets were just a pile of scrap metal, useless.
As for using poison… you had to hit your target. Just relying on poison smoke, such an obvious method of poisoning, was far from enough to deal with Kazeyuki, who had already reached the level of a Kage.
"Good thing I made it in time!"
A figure arrived instantly, coming to behind Sasori. He turned his back to Sasori and looked at the Third Kazekage in the distance, his face full of relief.
"Kazeyuki, quickly kill Sasori and take the antidote from him. Sasori has betrayed us."
The Third Kazekage saw Kenshi's Wind Release clone and immediately gave the order in his usual commanding voice.
But the one who had arrived was Kazeyuki, who was also Kenshi's Wind Release clone, and it was a Wind Release clone that acted according to Kenshi's will.
"Don't worry, I'll get the antidote for you soon."
Kenshi's Wind Release clone smiled. He ignored the Third Kazekage's words and turned to look at Sasori, saying,
He had originally been returning to the Sand Village, but he had sensed Sasori and the Third Kazekage's souls along the way, so he immediately rushed over.
Fortunately, he didn't hesitate. Otherwise, by the time he realized that Sasori was assassinating the Third Kazekage, the Third Kazekage would already be dead.
Kenshi had to personally kill the five Kage who had surrounded and killed him back then. He couldn't let Sasori kill him.
"Here you go."
Sasori turned around, opened a scroll, took out a bottle, and threw it to Kenshi's Wind Release clone. Then, he stood aside, not leaving. Instead, he watched Kenshi's Wind Release clone with interest.
He had sensed from Kenshi's Wind Release clone's conversation with the Third Kazekage that this Sand Village genius ninja, who was only a few years older than him, seemed to have different thoughts about the Third Kazekage.
Whoosh!
Kenshi threw the bottle containing the antidote towards the Third Kazekage, twenty meters away.
The Third Kazekage stretched out his hand to catch it. He didn't swallow it immediately.
Looking at Kazeyuki opposite him, the Third Kazekage suddenly felt very unfamiliar. This wasn't the Kazeyuki he knew.
"Kazeyuki, I told you to kill Sasori immediately." The Third Kazekage's eyes narrowed slightly. He once again assumed the identity of Kazekage.
"Just eat it. The antidote is real."
Kenshi's Wind Release clone still ignored the Third Kazekage's words. He glanced at Sasori, who was standing aside, and said to the Third Kazekage, "If it's fake, Sasori will definitely die. I'm telling you, even if the Sage of Six Paths comes, it won't help."
Powerful!
Unparalleled power!
Sasori didn't doubt the truth of Kenshi's Wind Release clone's words at all.
He had also heard before how powerful this genius ninja, known as the "Wind Walker," was. His special Wind Release Slash was considered the most likely jutsu to kill the "White Fang of Konoha" and avenge his parents.
Now that he had truly experienced it, Sasori knew that those legends were true.
The Kazeyuki in front of him, the Wind Release chakra on his body was so refined and sharp. Just standing next to him, Sasori felt a faint sense of being cut into countless pieces. His entire skin was tingling, as if he was constantly enduring countless slashes.
Because he felt this power, he didn't flee. He didn't dare to flee.
"You… are you also going to betray the Sand Village?"
The Third Kazekage's face darkened. He stared at Kenshi's Wind Release clone, Kazeyuki, with interest. He already understood that this little devil was also here to kill him.
Why?
Could it be that those old guys had made a move?
But even if that were the case, Kazeyuki shouldn't be thinking of killing him.
Did Kazeyuki think that killing him would allow him to take the position of Kazekage?
If that was really what he thought, then this little devil was underestimating those old guys.
If it were so easy to become Kazekage, it wouldn't have always been controlled by the three great clans.
"Are you going to eat it or not? If not, I'll just make a move."
Seeing the Third Kazekage thinking about this and that, Kenshi's Wind Release clone became impatient. He had given the Third Kazekage the antidote just to kill the Third Kazekage in a full-fledged battle to satisfy a bit of his twisted sense of humor. It didn't mean that he wouldn't make a move if the Third Kazekage didn't eat the antidote.
"You will regret this."
The Third Kazekage looked at Kenshi's Wind Release clone and said solemnly.
Kenshi was amused when he heard this. He replied, "I am the Fourth Kazekage."
The Third Kazekage choked when he heard this. Then, he opened the bottle and drank the antidote.
At this moment, there was no point in saying more. If the antidote was real, he would make those two bastards know that the title of the strongest Kazekage in history wasn't just talk.
Huh… it's real!
Soon, the feedback from his body surprised the Third Kazekage. He looked at Sasori and Kazeyuki opposite him. Did those two little devils really think they could kill him without the poison to restrain him?
Click!
Feeling that the poison in his body was rapidly being neutralized by the antidote, and that he no longer needed his chakra to suppress it, the Third Kazekage immediately took out a special ration pill, crushed it, and swallowed it to recover his chakra.
"You…"
Seeing Kenshi's Wind Release clone watching him eat the ration pill to recover his chakra without any reaction, Sasori instantly became nervous.
Kazeyuki's Wind Release Slash was very powerful, but the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand Control was also terrifying.
Boom, boom!
Two white plumes of smoke erupted from the ground. The smoke dissipated, revealing two puppets shaped like scallops, one large and one small.
Sasori immediately controlled the smaller scallop puppet to open its mouth. He quickly got inside, then controlled the larger scallop puppet to swallow the smaller one. Finally, he moved around and burrowed into the sand.
Kenshi's Wind Release clone didn't stop Sasori's actions. He would even protect Sasori if there was any danger later.
His main body was still looking for a way to decompose chakra into spiritual energy and physical energy. Sasori's human puppets might bring new inspiration.
This was something Kenshi's Wind Release clone had suddenly thought of on the way here.
So, Sasori couldn't die.
Soon, the poison in the Third Kazekage's body was completely gone, and his chakra had recovered by more than half. It was enough for him to take down Kazeyuki and Sasori.
"You will regret this."
The Third Kazekage said it again. This time, Kenshi just smiled and said nothing. The Third Kazekage didn't waste any words. He quickly formed hand seals.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Sea!"
"Ah…"
As the roar erupted from the Third Kazekage's mouth, black iron sand from deep beneath the sand sea, within a three-kilometer radius, was pulled up by a magnetic force and gathered towards the sky.
Soon, above Kenshi and the Third Kazekage, the sun was blocked out. A sea of iron sand floated in the air, a hundred meters high, covering an area of two kilometers.
From afar, it looked like a thick, dark cloud.
The oppressive feeling of a dark cloud pressing down on the city, about to crush it, instantly swept over them.
