Finally,
The sand is moved to the air outside the village.
Seeing that his mission is complete,
The breath held tightly in Gaara's chest suddenly relaxes.
He immediately loses consciousness and falls rapidly from the sky.
"Completed."
Deidara has been waiting for this opportunity.
He controls his clay bird to dive down, catches Gaara, and then flies directly out of the village towards the rendezvous point.
"Stop!"
Kankuro roars and charges out. "Put Gaara down!"
"Kankuro!"
Baki reaches out but fails to stop Kankuro.
"I'm going to Konoha."
Temari's expression is very calm. "Baki-sensei, please take care of Kankuro. Don't let him do anything foolish."
Her calmness surprises Baki, but looking at the immense anger in her eyes, he immediately knows,
This girl is just suppressing all her emotions.
When she erupts, all those feelings will be incredibly intense.
"Okay."
Baki nods heavily, then leads a large number of elite troops to chase after them.
Although the hope of taking back Gaara from the enemy is slim,
They cannot do nothing either.
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he must grasp it.
Gaara is the last hope of their Sunagakure.
Temari does not stay for a moment, not even taking her luggage, and rushes directly towards Konoha.
Deidara flies to the agreed meeting point to rendezvous with Sasori.
Sasori looks at Gaara, rolled up by the tail of the clay bird, and nods silently. "Well done. This way, you should have a certain standing in Takumi's heart."
"Heeheehee..."
Hearing Sasori's words, Deidara immediately lets out a lecherous laugh. "Is just this enough?"
"I need to capture more Jinchuriki, using my art!"
Deidara says, his face full of fanaticism.
His mind already has specific images.
"A few tails have followed."
Sasori looks in the direction of Sunagakure.
He can sense someone approaching.
After transforming his own body into a puppet,
Sasori perceives the outside world purely through sensory abilities.
After all, no matter how intact a puppet's eyes are, they are still just a puppet.
They cannot achieve the ability to see.
However, Ninjutsu has many application methods.
Just as Gaara can condense sand into eyes to observe things from different angles,
Sasori can also accomplish similar things.
"Don't worry, I'll deal with them right away."
Although Deidara just used a C3, he hasn't had enough fun yet.
"No need."
Sasori blocks in front of him. "I'll handle these guys. You're responsible for protecting the Jinchuriki. Don't let them take him."
"Alright then."
Deidara doesn't insist. "Since Sasori-danna wants to stretch his limbs, I'll leave these guys to you."
"Give me back Gaara!"
The one chasing up is Kankuro,
Along with several other Shinobi whose bodies moved faster than their thoughts, charging over without hesitation wanting to save Gaara.
They have received many favors from Gaara in their daily lives.
Seeing Gaara captured now, they rush over without thinking,
Completely disregarding the gap in strength between them and the enemy.
Kankuro controls his two puppets and charges straight in.
"Karasu and Kuroari, huh?"
Sasori says blandly.
The puppets Kankuro uses are ones Sasori left in Sunagakure before defecting.
For Sasori at that time, they were considered fine works.
But after such a long time, these puppets are just too weak.
A long, assembled tail rushes out from behind, and with fierce force, directly smashes the two puppets apart.
"What?"
Kankuro is shocked, and simultaneously understands the other party's identity. "A puppeteer?"
This attack method does not belong to Ninjutsu; it's puppetry, which he is extremely familiar with.
But he has never seen such a strong puppet.
'What is going on?'
'Who is he?'
Kankuro is plunged into deep confusion.
But how could Sasori give him time to think?
Moreover, Sasori not only has strong talent in puppet making,
But also in poison making, he is very formidable.
Don't forget, he is Chiyo's grandson.
Born into a puppetry family, exposed to puppets and poisons from a young age.
He is just too familiar with this aspect.
Whoosh!
Countless senbon shoot out. Kankuro and the others hastily dodge, but having lost their puppets to block the enemy's attacks,
Kankuro is still hit by some.
The rapidly spreading numbness in his body makes him realize,
He has been poisoned.
And the poison is strong.
"Quick! Come to me!"
He takes out a scroll and summons his last puppet.
"Sanshouo."
Sasori recognizes this puppet.
Another puppet he made.
And it's a puppet known for its defense.
"I didn't expect my puppets to be in the hands of a brat like you."
Sasori looks down on Kankuro a bit.
A true puppeteer should use puppets they made themselves,
Not puppets left behind by others.
However, he doesn't continue attacking.
Because Sanshouo's defense is indeed very strong.
He knows the strength of this puppet he made based on defense.
"Let's go."
Sasori turns and leaves.
"Hmm? Not finishing them off?"
Deidara follows, frowning slightly, asking his doubt. "They're still alive, right?"
"They'll die soon."
Sasori says. "My poison has no antidote."
"I see, that's quite scary."
Deidara immediately smiles.
The two stroll leisurely, neither fast nor slow.
As if taking a walk.
They are full of confidence in their strength.
Even if more pursuers from Sunagakure come, they have the ability to defeat them all.
After a while,
Baki arrives at the scene.
Besides the two shattered puppets, he only sees one Sanshouo puppet.
"Kankuro! It's me!"
Baki quickly shouts.
The Sanshouo puppet is controlled to reveal the Sunagakure's Shinobi hidden inside.
Everyone is already unconscious from the poison.
Kankuro is also holding on with sheer willpower.
"They're poisoned! Quick! Antidote!"
Baki immediately knows the situation is critical.
He can't care whether the antidote will work well or not.
At the very least, it should have some effect.
The most important thing now is to bring them back to Sunagakure and let the village's Medical-nin take a look.
"It's... Sasori..."
Kankuro weakly opens his eyes, informing Baki of the intelligence he obtained.
"What?"
Baki's eyes widen instantly.
He naturally knows what Sasori represents.
That is Sasori of the Red Sand.
"I'll take you to Granny Chiyo immediately!"
Baki immediately makes a decision.
If it really is Sasori's poison, the only one in the entire Sunagakure who can cure the poison is Sasori's grandmother, Chiyo.
And Baki believes that although Chiyo has an unpredictable temper, she will definitely save Kankuro.
Because Kankuro has seen her long-lost grandson, Sasori.
She will definitely want to get more information from Kankuro's mouth.
