Chapter 308: Invitation from Orochimaru

Is Luo Sha going to go back on his word and get rid of Gaara tonight?
After such a thought came to his mind, Yashamaru wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then clenched the kunai in his hand and said to Gaara beside him:
"Gaara, he's here to kill you, hide quickly, I'll help you delay."

Gaara sneered, stared at Yashamaru and said, "Uncle, you are here to kill me too, can you two team up to kill me? Anyway, I have been a nuisance since I was born."

A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Yashamaru's forehead, and he didn't know how to explain to Gaara.

I did come here to assassinate you tonight, but my goal is to stimulate you to control Shukaku. Once you have mastered enough power, he will take the initiative to reveal his flaws and die.

With no other options, Yashamaru could only say:

"Garuru loved you until she died, otherwise how could the sand and chakra she left behind have always protected you? Listen to me and leave here quickly, leave the Sand Village and run to some other place!"

After hearing this, Gaara's face changed, but he had no intention of running away. He wanted to know more about his mother, so he stood there staring at Yashamaru.

Yashamaru made up his mind and without bothering to explain to Gaara, he ran towards Scorpion at a rapid speed.

With his and Gaara's strength, it is not impossible for them to kill the puppeteer in front of them, but this time it is very likely that it is Rasa who wants to deal with Gaara. They can deal with the puppeteer, but it is difficult for them to escape Rasa's pursuit.

With a sound of metallic collision, Yashamaru's kunai broke into two pieces on Feiliuhu's body.

Yashamaru secretly marveled at the hardness of the Feiliu Amber, and at the same time began to look for the position of the puppeteer. Generally speaking, the puppeteer would control the puppet from a distance of more than ten meters.

The real body is usually hidden underground and in dead corners, and some puppeteers like to disguise themselves as puppets.

After using ninjutsu to search in vain, Yashamaru's eyes fell on the Hiruko. Such a huge puppet was big enough for the puppeteer's true self to be hidden inside.

As long as he can break Fei Liuhu's defense, he can win the battle.

However, what Yashamaru did not expect was that Scorpion slowly took out a storage scroll from his body and summoned more than ten puppets from it.

The puppets rushed forward and directly submerged Yashamaru in the sea of ​​sand.

After subduing Yashamaru, Scorpion did not kill him immediately. He carried Yashamaru towards Gaara, and after throwing Yashamaru on the ground, he said in a joking tone:

"Gaara brat, feel free to ask him anything you want to ask. He won't dare not answer."

Gaara glanced at Yashamaru, then shifted his gaze to Scorpion, and asked grimly, "Why are you helping me? What do you want from me?"

Scorpion sneered and said disapprovingly: "I was also a child once. I know that if you don't ask clearly about some things in person, you will regret it once you miss it."

"I can see that he doesn't want to kill you. There is another ninja who really wants to kill you."

Scorpion's words fell into Gaara's ears. He was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, but finally he raised his head and said thank you.

Yashamaru also heard what Scorpion said, his eyes filled with confusion.

After calming down, his brain began to work rapidly, trying to guess the other party's true identity and infer the other party's true purpose through the brief fight just now.

But after thinking for a long time, Yashamaru still couldn't determine Scorpion's identity.

The other party does not seem to be a ninja from the village, but are there such powerful puppeteers in other ninja villages? Or is the other party a traitor from the village, not a subordinate secretly trained by Rasa. Just as Yashamaru was about to continue his deduction, Gaara came in front of Yashamaru and said in an unquestionable tone:
"Uncle Yashamaru, tell me everything you know! Or you'll regret it."

……

After a busy day, the Fourth Kazekage stretched and looked into the distance.

His gaze seemed to travel through space, and he saw Temari who was busy practicing ninjutsu at home, Kankuro who was busy studying puppets, and Gaara who was undergoing a crucial test.

Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara.

These three people are descendants of the Fourth Kazekage, and they also represent different powers of the Sand Village.

Temari represents the traditional Sand Ninja, who is good at using a series of ninjutsu such as wind escape and uses fair and square strength to defeat opponents. She is also the most chosen type of Sand Ninja.

Kankuro represents the profession of puppeteer. A puppeteer does not need a talent for escape techniques. It is enough to master chakra control techniques and assassination skills.

Although Sand Ninjas of this profession are rare, they are very famous on the battlefield.

As long as the puppets are replenished in time, the Sand Ninja can maintain its combat effectiveness for a long time. One person can play the role of several ninjas, greatly reducing the pressure of the attack.

Gaara represents the power of the tailed beasts.

The Sand Village was the first to use ninjutsu as a weapon. In the vast desert of the Land of Wind, Shukaku possessed extremely terrifying dominance on the battlefield. This is one of the reasons why the Sand Village has always been losing but has never perished.

In the vision of the Fourth Kazekage, as long as he was strict with his offspring and trained them with all his strength.

When his three children are all adults, he will have three tools with Kage-level abilities, and because of their blood ties, his descendants will never betray him.

By then, he will be able to break free from the constraints of Konoha and make the Sand Village the number one ninja village.

Recovering his gradually scattered thoughts, the Fourth Kazekage drank a cup of strong coffee and prepared for tonight's mining work. He must reserve enough funds so that he can successfully realize the ambitions of Sunagakure in the future.

At this moment, an Anbu hurried over and said to the Fourth Kazekage, "Lord Kazekage, this is a letter from a merchant in the village that I was told to tell you. He said he wants to purchase a large amount of ore from the village."

"Big client?"

The Fourth Kazekage licked his lips. He was worried about the excessive amount of ores in the village. If these ores could not be converted into money, it would only be a waste of storage space.

But soon, the Fourth Kazekage noticed the snake-shaped mark on the lower right corner of the letter and frowned.

There are not many ninjas in the ninja world who use the snake-shaped mark. In his impression, there is only one person, and that is Orochimaru, whom he had met several times on the battlefield.

Orochimaru used to be his rival and gave him a lot of headaches.

After Orochimaru defected from Konoha, he contacted Orochimaru privately and asked Orochimaru to join the Sand Village and become his subordinate, but was rejected by Orochimaru.

Now that Orochimaru has found me again, what exactly is Gourd selling?
The Fourth Kazekage was skeptical about this, but after careful consideration, he decided to meet Orochimaru. Although Orochimaru was insidious and cunning, he was quite rich.
