You guys are still too young.

Chapter 98 You guys are still too young.

Uehara Naraku used a bizarre summoning technique to instantly kill the Third Kazekage, a move that left everyone completely baffled.

Not only Orochimaru didn't understand, but Sasori and Deidara were also completely bewildered.

Sasori of the Red Sand asked directly, "What happened?"

"I don't know."

Uehara Naraku shook his head, looking confused. "Kisame gave me a summoning contract, saying that his shark summon was very strong and could be summoned to kill any enemy, but it would only attack once before disappearing."

"Is this Kisame's summoning beast?"

Sasori of the Red Sand suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

Deidara, standing nearby, also seemed a bit shaken, saying, "Isn't that shark-faced guy Itachi Uchiha's henchman? Does he even have such a powerful summoning beast?"

"Yes, I didn't expect that either."

Uehara Naraku nodded in agreement with Deidara's words.

He was actually just trying to use the Giant Shark Strike to see if he could break the Impure World Reincarnation.

After all, the reanimated form is relentless and possesses unlimited chakra. Unless someone can seal it, there's not much that can be done about it.

Even a tiny fly buzzing around can be annoying, let alone someone as big as the Third Kazekage.

Unexpectedly, after summoning the Void Shark, just like when it killed the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, the Void Shark directly devoured the soul of the Third Kazekage.

As for why the blame was shifted to Kisame Hoshigaki... well, it's because Kisame has a shark-like face and doesn't speak very nicely.

Uehara Naraku secretly glanced at the system panel.

Side Quest: Defeat the Third Kazekage (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: 100 Gold.

They defeated the Third Kazekage, known as the strongest Kazekage, so why was the reward only 100 gold coins? Is the Third Kazekage so lacking in prestige?

That's really a bit shabby.

However, the fact that Sasori of the Red Sand was able to kill the Third Kazekage at the age of fifteen is really nothing to brag about.

"Those ugly guys from Kirigakure are really not to be underestimated..."

Sasori's surprise subsided, and he looked up at Orochimaru and Kabuto opposite him. He then abruptly pulled the Third Kazekage puppet in his hand and charged forward: "Hmph, now that the Third Kazekage is gone, what right do they have to fight us!"

"…Walk!"

Orochimaru pulled Kabuto Yakushi and quickly retreated.

Kabuto threw a smoke bomb on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the two of them quietly disappeared from sight.

"Did they escape?"

Deidara swiftly leaped onto a giant white clay bird, staring intently at the desolate sand dunes, trying to find traces of the two.

Uehara Naraku flipped open the display panel of fate and saw Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi fleeing at top speed. He analyzed softly, "It should be the Earth Dragon Concealment Technique, right?"

"That won't be easy to find..."

Sasori frowned and looked at Uehara Naraku, saying, "Why don't you and Deidara go after Orochimaru, and I'll go after that Sand Village ninja and that red-haired brat, and help you get rid of the Sand Village's troubles?"

"I'll go myself!"

Uehara Naraku shook his head, looking stubborn, and said, "That red-haired brat is the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure. I want to capture him and give him to Konan-sensei as a gift."

"The Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast?"

Sasori waved his hand, putting away the Third Kazekage's puppet, and said in a deep voice, "If you rashly capture the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, it will easily attract the covetous eyes of other major ninja villages. Pain will not agree to you doing so."

After Sasori finished speaking, he continued, "No one in Akatsuki knows the Sunagakure leadership better than me. Killing Rasa will at most provoke the hostility of Sunagakure. If we capture Shukaku, Sunagakure will relentlessly send people to harass the Land of Rain."

Under these circumstances, the fact that they haven't yet fully obtained information on the Jinchuriki of other major ninja villages will definitely hinder Akatsuki's plans.

"Senior Scorpion."

Uehara Naraku narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "I'll leave the matter of Sunagakure to you, senpai. However, official Akatsuki members must act in pairs, so let Deidara go with you! I'll go after Orochimaru!"

"You're going to hunt down Orochimaru?"

Sasori of the Red Sand slowly turned his head and looked at Naraku Uehara, saying, "Even I find that guy troublesome. If you die at his hands, I might be in some trouble..."

Don't worry!

Uehara Naraku shook his head and continued softly, "I'm just going to give it a try... and if the battle goes badly, I'll immediately flee towards Sunagakure and join you."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku added, "I received some information from the Sand Village that they might invite an advisor named Chiyo from the Sand Village to come out of seclusion."

Chiyo lives in the oasis outside Sunagakure. If Sasori-senpai wants to negotiate in the name of the Land of Rain, he could try contacting her first. I reckon the old woman might be a bit weak-willed, right?

Sasori tilted his head and looked at Naraku Uehara, then suddenly nodded and said, "I understand. I hope you can survive Orochimaru."

His grandmother had weak legs!

If they were to contact Chiyo about peace talks, it probably wouldn't be long before the Land of Rain was invaded by countless Sand Ninja.

They were going to use the One-Tailed Jinchuriki to threaten Sunagakure into reaching a peace agreement, forcing Sunagakure to give up pursuing the matter of Uehara Naraku killing the Fourth Kazekage.

If it were just a regular high-ranking member of Sunagakure, it wouldn't be a big deal, but Granny Chiyo was the most fierce ninja in Sunagakure!

As one of the founders of Sunagakure, Chiyo never showed weakness to outsiders. She always believed in fighting violence with violence. At worst, Sunagakure would be destroyed and they would just have to eat sand and drink the northwest wind in the Land of Wind again.

Uehara is so young!

Sasori of the Red Sand already had a plan in mind.

His next step was to first detain the One-Tailed Jinchuriki of Sunagakure, and then, with the help of the spies he had planted within Sunagakure, have them suggest that the Sunagakure leadership prioritize the greater good and abandon the pursuit of Amegakure to avoid causing even greater losses.

According to Sasori of the Red Sand, if his grandmother Chiyo were to emerge from seclusion during such a crisis, his great-uncle Ebizo would certainly follow suit.

Ebizo would definitely agree to this more rational proposal.

The group then parted ways, with Uehara Naraku leaving them to pursue Orochimaru alone.

Sasori of the Red Sand watched as Naraku Uehara soared away, then clasped his hands together in a hand seal for the Illusionary Body Technique and channeled chakra into his ring.

On the other side, Pain received the message.

After a while, the illusory figures of Pain, Konan, Sasori, and Deidara appeared in a secret room.

Xiao Nan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Scorpion, is something the matter?"

"There's been a minor problem."

Sasori gave a brief report on the situation, including that Uehara Naraku had killed the Fourth Kazekage, attempted to capture the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, and that he was about to go to Sunagakure to deal with the troubles left behind by Uehara.

After Sasori finished speaking, he added, "I was a little worried that he would go after Orochimaru alone, but that brat Uehara is determined to do it..."

"Don't worry."

After listening, Pain nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble in dealing with the Sand Village. It's indeed not the right time to capture the One-Tailed Beast before we have information on all the Tailed Beasts. You and Deidara can go and get back to work!"

After the exchange, Payne deactivated the Illusionary Body Technique.

Deidara looked at Sasori with some confusion: "Sasori, you're very worried about that intern!"

"Hmph, you're still too young."

Sasori shook his head and, on his own, manipulated Hiruko to climb onto Deidara's clay giant bird: "That brat finally gave me an expensive piece of material."

However, that kid is a bit too competitive; he's determined to become a full member of Akatsuki.

However, his most important task now is to return to the Land of Rain and ensure his safety.

After all, Orochimaru is not someone he can easily deal with.
