"You know, you may have covered your body with the cloak and mask of Amatsukami… but, with that peculiar jutsu that you use, do you really think that I don't recognize you?" Hearing Sasori, Dojin was stunned, a trace of doubt appearing on her face.
Seeing Dojin silent, Sasori thought that she was panicked. He grinned sinisterly and continued, "You may have forgotten what you did to us, but I haven't. Based on our first encounter, I had the impression that you are some kind of lunatic who can't even hold a conversation. Now that I see you standing in that uniform of Amatsukami, everything makes sense.
I suppose it's safe to assume that was just a façade… At that time, you must have already joined Amatsukami; that's why the moment you saw us, you did what you did. Oh well, it's a pity that you chose to be our enemy. I will complete the payback here and now… Deidara!"
Dojin didn't know what nonsense Sasori was spouting. When she heard the name he spoke, she couldn't be more shocked, "De… Deidara?!" She never expected Sasori to confuse her for Deidara, leaving her speechless.
I mean, it's true that this clone is based on Deidara; he played a crucial role in creating this clone, even if he isn't aware of it. But who would have thought that Sasori would assume that she is Deidara and not someone else?
Seeing Dojin exclaim in shock, Sasori felt that his guess was completely right. While Dojin, or better yet 'Deidara,' was recovering from shock and panic, Sasori took out a new scroll and said while slowly unfolding it, "I suppose I should thank Fujin. Because of him, I was able to create this… This is my new masterpiece… And now I am going to use the very same masterpiece to put an end to your life… You should be honored. If not for having joined Amatsukami, you would never even qualify to see this masterpiece… Get ready, Deidara, for what's about to come."
Seeing the character 'Hiruko' written on the scroll, Dojin instantly knew what the masterpiece in Sasori's words was, and this surprised her very much. 'Hiruko really died? I guess the Chimera Buds and Dark Medical Jutsu weren't able to save him from the decaying effect of 'All-Killing Ash Bones.' I guess I should be happy that I won't have to deal with him anymore, although, the fact that he was turned into a puppet is a bit…"
In the last battle between Hiruko and Fujin, although Fujin had severely injured Hiruko before he could land the finishing blow, Obito intervened to save Hiruko. Since there were Chimera Buds in Hiruko's body and because he had also mastered Shinnō's Dark Medical Ninjutsu, Kuroto didn't think that Hiruko would actually die. But seeing the scroll in Sasori's hand, Dojin realized that that's not the case; Hiruko is really dead. She cheered to herself, 'Well, that's one down, I suppose.'
As soon as the scroll was unfolded, Sasori said with a smile, "I will be adding you to my collection soon enough… and don't worry, this will be over before you know it."
Sasori's words brought Dojin out of her thoughts, and she nodded in agreement, "Well, you are indeed correct; this will indeed be over before you know it."
As soon as she completed her words, Dojin's body swelled up rapidly.
Sasori was taken aback by the sudden change, and the smile on his face solidified in shock, "Wh.. what?!"
As her body expanded more and more, Dojin said, "You know the problem with you, you talk too much… well, not anymore… see if you can survive it."
And the next second, the world turned white.
BOOM!
…
On the main battlefield
As the explosive clay bird approached the battlefield, Dojin jumped off the bird. Vigilantly watching Kakashi vs 'Madara' on one side and Weasel vs Tobi on the other, she slowly approached the Konoha Anbu.
Seeing the unfamiliar shinobi, who seemed to be a new member of Amatsukami, approaching them, the Konoha Anbu, though not openly hostile, remained on guard. Only Akame (Kurenai), who was the de facto leader in the absence of Kakashi and Itachi, remained calm and greeted her, "A while ago… it was you, right? Didn't you leave?"
Dojin shook her head and chuckled, "Nah, that was just a clone of mine… I sent it in advance to scout the area and understand the overall situation here… I never expected Sasori would be so foolish and directly chase after the clone."
Looking at the other person mocking Sasori so blatantly, all the Konoha Anbu were left speechless. While they might agree with the opinion that it was foolish of Sasori to chase after Dojin, they wouldn't dare to comment on it. After all, Sasori has the strength to back up his actions. Perhaps only members of Amatsukami, who possess unfathomable strength, can mock the likes of Sasori!
After a nice laugh, Dojin looked at Akame, Rabbit, as well as all the other still alive but gravely injured Konoha Anbu. She then turned to Hana (Yugao) and asked, "How's the situation?"
Hana shook her head bitterly, "Most of the Iryo-nin who were with us are already dead. Sasori targeted them first… The rest of us have done what we can. We made sure that they won't die instantly. However, this is not enough… They still need proper medical treatment…"
Dojin nodded, "I see." She then raised her hand, and immediately the Explosive Clay bird hovering in the sky descended and landed on the cold desert. She pointed at the bird and said, "Put all the injured on the back of the bird, and all the Iryo-nin should also get on the bird. It will immediately take all the wounded back to Konoha… Of course, the journey would take more than a day. However, with all the medics supporting the wounded, they should be able to stay alive by the time this bird reaches Konoha Village."
The others nodded, "I see, that would certainly help."
Just as they prepared to transfer the injured as per Dojin's instructions, suddenly a spiral whirl appeared behind Dojin, and a hand stretched out of it.
Everyone's expression changed horrifically as they watched the hand approach Dojin's shoulder.
At this moment, Kakashi's voice resounded from the back, "Be careful!"
Seeing the change in everyone's expression, Dojin immediately realized that something wasn't right. But before she could react, the arm landed on her shoulder. As soon as it touched her, her body was paralyzed and unable to move. The next thing that happened was that she was sucked inside the Kamui world and disappeared from the shinobi world.

The whole process occurred in less than two breaths, so whether it was Akame, Rabbit, or Hana, on this side, or Weasel who although engaged in a battle against Tobi in the distance still focused half of his intention here because of the arrival of a new member of Amatsukami, or Kitsune who was chasing after 'Madara', all of them were taken aback at the disappearance of the members of Amatsukami.
The moment Hana reacted to the disappearance; she slashed her sword at 'Madara'.
SLASH!
CLANG!
'Madara' simply lifted his left and blocked Hana's sword using a Kunai in his hand. Then without Hana any opportunity to carry out a follow-up attack, he retreated back and spoke, "Whew, it appears that all the members of the Amatsukami are not so troublesome to deal with."
If it weren't for the presence of so many Konoha Anbu in the surroundings, 'Madara' really wanted to laugh out loud and curse Amatsukami to relieve the hatred in his heart. Amatsukami has caused him so many problems, all their members one after another come out and ruin his plans, therefore, no one hates Amatsukami more than him!
Akame clutched the injury of her stomach and glared at 'Madara' in anger, "Damn it!"
Whiish! Whiish! Whiish!
At this time, the sound of three Kunai cutting through the air and coming in his direction reached his ears from one side and the cawing of a bunch of crows came from the other side.
Seeing the attack coming from both sides, 'Madara' quickly activated his Kumai and became intangible allowing the Kunai and crows to pass through him.
Whoosh!
With a silver flash, Kitsune (Kakashi) appeared on one side, while on the other side, crows merged together and took the form of Weasel staring vigilantly at 'Madara.' He was pondering over how to help out the newest member of Amatsukami.
Staring at the three Konoha Anbu surrounding him from three sides, 'Madara' folded his hands over his chest and said lightly, "Although you people are good, and I must say that all of you have improved compared to our last encounter, in my eyes, you all are still as incompetent as ever. With your current strength, you Konoha shinobi won't be able to protect anything!"
Kitsune said coldly, "I don't care what I must do, I will stop you!"
"Heh, is that so?" 'Madara' chuckled, "Then I am really looking forward to that day when you become capable enough…" then added with a smile, "For now, I will be bidding you people a farewell, live well until our next meeting, who knows, perhaps our next meeting might also become our last meeting!"
To 'Madara', the lives of a few Konoha Anbu don't matter. Although the identity of two Anbu here is indeed important, he still doesn't care. The person he actually cares about most at this time is the member of Amatsukami he has successfully captured. Finally gaining the upper hand against Amatsukami, 'Madara' is quite impatient, he wants to immediately leave and torture out all the information about Amatsukami from the brain of this newest member.
"You can't go!"
Seeing that 'Madara' was planning to leave, Kitsune, Weasel, and Hana immediately rushed toward him.
'Madara' easily passed through Kitsune, least interested in fighting him, he did the same thing with Weasel, but when it came to Hana, he manifested himself and grabbed her by the neck.
Holding Hana by the neck, 'Madara' activated Kamui and started to suck her in the Kamui dimension, while doing so, he indifferently looked at Kitsune and said in a disdainful tone, "As I said earlier, you are useless. Can't stop anything, can't save anyone, can't protect anyone!"
Seeing that Hana was about to be swallowed by 'Madara' into the Kamui dimension, Kitsune panicked, "Don't do it!"
'Madara' looked disdainfully at Kitsune and didn't stop at all.
On Weasel's side, seeing that Hana was about to be swallowed too, he decided that he could no longer hold back, and prepared to activate his Mangekyou Sharingan.
But just as he was about to make a move, suddenly he noticed two hands stretch out from the ground beneath 'Madara', they then grabbed Hana's legs and instantly pulled her down will all their power.
'Madara' was taken aback as Hana was forcibly pulled out of his grip and hurriedly made himself intangible, at the same time, he couldn't help but mutter in shock, 'Who was that? Was another Amatsukami in the vicinity all this time?'
While 'Madara' was confused, a figure holding Hana appeared beside Weasel and muttered, "Don't be in such a hurry."
Hana who heard these words felt that these words were meant for 'Madara', but Weasel knew better, he nodded lightly and immediately deactivated his Mangekyou Sharingan.
'Madara' looked over and as he noted the identity of the person who saved Hana, he was shocked, "You are still here…? Then the one who I captured is…?"
Dojin put down Hana on the ground, and said with a shrug, "Who knows… you captured it, you should try to figure it out yourself."
'Madara' muttered with a gloomy tone, "It was some kind of clone."
Because the Kamui he used only activates on physical touch meant that although the thing he captured wasn't a Shadow Clone, it was still some kind of specially made clone that is a bit hard to destroy, meaning he was tricked and fooled by the other party!
Dojin said mysteriously, "Who knows? Maybe I am the clone, and the one you captured is the original."
Hearing this possibility, 'Madara' became doubtful.
…
In the distant forest.
An earthshaking explosion a while ago destroyed the majority of the forest.
Smoke and dust filled the sky because of the explosion, and the burning smell lingered in the area.
Sasori crawled out of the ten-meter-deep hole that was created as a result of the explosion, and gnashed his teeth in anger, "Damn it!"
Looking at his missing left arm and damaged right leg, Sasori's face contorted in anger, thinking of almost dying because of the explosion, he was more and more frustrated!
"Damn it… second time… this is the second time!"
If it weren't for immediately summoning the Rasa and using the gold sand for defense, even his core would have been destroyed, resulting in his death.
Gripping the scroll in his hand, Sasori said viciously, "Deidara just you wait… I know from my spies that you have been in Iwagakure for the past few months, even if I have to overturn the entire Iwagakure, I will find you for the payback!"
…
Iwagakure
"Aaaa-CHooo!"
Deidara who was training to master Dust Release, suddenly sneezed for no reason, and couldn't help but be confused, "What's happening? Did I catch a cold or something?"
While Deidara was confused, Ōnoki who was hovering in the air not far away knocked his head with a stick and scolded harshly, "You have no cold, so don't waste time and continue the training!"
Frustrated Deidara shouted, "I get it… I get it old man… don't hit me!"
Ōnoki snorted, "Humph!" and folded his hands over his chest as he continued to observe Deidara's training.
