Kapitel 110: MSIN: Chapter 109
---
Sasori, who had defected from Sunagakure, was probably on a spontaneous journey, wandering around the ninja world.
But he also considered his own safety, and there were some places he wouldn't go recklessly.
For example, deep into the Land of Fire.
Even though he was still on the border, according to the current situation of the Ninja World War, the location of the Land of Rain was not far from the Iwagakure front line where Jiraiya was stationed.
Considering the strength of the Toad Sage and his own identity, if news of Sasori entering the Land of Fire was leaked, Jiraiya might really move out… If possible, Sasori didn't want to fight such a ninja at this time.
This wasn't because he lacked confidence in his own strength, but purely because he didn't want to fight a Kage-level powerhouse in an imperfect state. If he had already completed the complete puppet transformation, controlling his body with the regeneration core, and obtained "eternal" life, he wouldn't have retreated at this time.
He would have continued to pursue relentlessly.
This wasn't because he had a great hatred for Haori, but simply an artist and obsessive's pursuit of material.
Due to compatibility issues, Sasori's strongest toy, the Third Kazekage puppet, couldn't fully unleash its power when facing Haori, the "Magnet Release" ninja.
And his ultimate technique, Hundred Machine Manipulation, wasn't fully formed yet. Considering the number of puppets he controlled at this time, Sasori's absolute strength could only be exerted about half.
Haori, of course, didn't know what Sasori was thinking, but he was relieved that the other party didn't pursue him relentlessly.
The pressure from a Kage-level powerhouse and an S-rank missing-nin was indeed immense, which is why he chose to fight and retreat towards the Konoha front line instead of the rendezvous point he had agreed upon with his team members.
But direction is one thing, in reality, if he really wanted to go to the front line, it was still a long way off. Haori was simply using this intention to restrain Sasori's pursuit.
He thought that a ninja like Sasori should know where a large number of Konoha ninjas were clustered.
As it turned out, he was right. Sasori didn't chase him anymore…
From beginning to end, Haori's goal was to get away from Sasori, not to have a life-or-death battle with him. Haori fought defensively in this battle, and in fact, he didn't really go all out at this time. Out of a desire to maintain a certain psychological advantage, Haori wouldn't play his trump card until it was a matter of life or death.
If he really relied on his "ninja" identity to deal with Sasori, Haori would probably just be a dish to be served. After all, Miss Sasori is not a girl without a story.
This encounter was unexpected, and fortunately, there were no substantial losses. Prioritizing sending his teammates away was a very correct choice. Haori couldn't protect them while fighting an enemy like Sasori.
The rain concealed the unique "click, click, click" sound of the puppets, and Sasori's figure soon disappeared, leaving only scattered puppet remains.
It's worth noting that Sasori didn't immediately collect those puppets when he retreated, but instead let them guard him…
Obviously, he wasn't stupid or blind. He was naturally wary of the technique Haori used last.
The name of the technique was unknown, but its power, speed, force, and destructive power were almost impeccable.
The attack range was also very long. A ninja like Sasori could roughly judge at a glance that the technique's maximum range was around 50 meters.
Let's put it this way, Sasori is the kind of ninja who has seen the Tailed Beast Ball. Compared to the "technique" just now, the Tailed Beast Ball naturally contains more absolute destructive energy, has a longer range, and has greater destructive power upon impact. It's definitely a strategic weapon used to blow up villages.
In comparison, the Tailed Beast Ball's anti-city weapon has a maximum capture number of 1000+ and an attack range of 1000+.
The Railgun of that scale that Haori just used, due to output limitations, is clearly a weapon against people, with a maximum capture number of 1 and an attack range of 50.
But if you're talking about quality level, they're both absolutely A++.
To describe it in one word, compared to the Tailed Beast Ball, the Railgun is even more fierce, much more fierce.
Imagine this thing hitting a person. No matter what level of ninja, they'd explode beautifully and have a shower of blood. If you don't believe me, you can pull out the First Hokage and let him take a shot. See if that unparalleled recovery ability in the ninja world can recover before the blood blossoms.
Of course, all this is predicated on hitting the target. The Tailed Beast Ball is so powerful, but it hasn't really killed any strong people. According to technical statistics, the number of ninjas killed by the Tailed Beast Ball is probably less than the number of people killed by two fathers and three generations of masters using fake blue pills.
So, from a certain perspective, unless absolutely necessary, randomly unleashing ultimate moves may not be as effective as a kunai.
After confirming Sasori's retreat, Haori considered his work done and began to move towards the rendezvous point with his teammates.
Although the three of them left on a bird, and although the battle with Sasori delayed them for so long, considering Asuma's current injuries and the dangerous situation outside, Haori estimated that the three of them shouldn't be in a hurry to leave this place. They should still be hiding in that base.
Submitting the mission on time is important, but it's also important to ensure your own safety during the operation.
In the rain, Haori briefly identified the direction and started moving again.
The only benefit of encountering Sasori was that he learned the purpose of Sunagakure's Yashamaru's infiltration into the Land of Rain. Although he didn't know how she learned about Sasori, she was clearly there to pursue the missing-nin.
Unfortunately, this operation was stopped by Akatsuki.
Or rather, luckily, her operation was stopped by Akatsuki. Otherwise, Sunagakure's hero would have been at the hands of Sunagakure's missing-nin.
Because of what he had seen with his own eyes, Haori could now report a large amount of top-secret information. Considering the importance of this information, not to mention other rewards, Team Haori would definitely be able to get a large sum of bounty in addition to their mission reward.
Performance, you know, ninjas have to talk about performance. Maybe there's a commission for certain activities.
Haori wandered around for several hours before finally returning to the base.
He didn't rush into the base, but instead put his index and middle fingers together, inserting them into his mouth from both sides…
Then, a loud whistle rang out.
He had to prevent friendly fire and tell his teammates not to shoot.
Soon, a similar sound came from the hidden tree hole. This was the agreed-upon signal.
Haori was relieved. His teammates were indeed hiding here, and they were fine.
He walked over step by step and then lifted the camouflage at the entrance of the tree hole.
Yugao, Asuma Sarutobi, and Shikamaru Nara… were all there.
When they saw Haori, they were visibly relieved.
Although Haori looked rather miserable now, and his appearance had changed - he had become a gourd boy, well, a black gourd boy.
But at least he was alive, and that was the best thing.
Earlier, when he chose to stay behind to deal with Sasori, it wasn't because they didn't believe in his strength, but because the gap was too big, so it was naturally considered an act of self-sacrifice.
So they were very sad, but they didn't expect Haori to reappear before them a few hours later.
Before his teammates could ask any questions, Haori spoke first:
"I have important information. We need to report to headquarters immediately, so we need to leave right away…"
As he spoke, he glanced at Asuma, and it was obvious that his injuries had been treated again.
Huh, why say "again"?
"Up…"
Uh, to avoid ambiguity, Haori quickly corrected his statement.
"Shikamaru, carry Asuma and let's go."
Shikamaru Nara nodded, then stood up and rather roughly carried Asuma.
This must have pulled on the latter's wound, which would have been painful.
If possible, Asuma wanted to be carried by a girl.
But unfortunately, even in the realm of "if," this "if" didn't exist.
