บท 108: MSIN: Chapter 107
Sasori of the Red Sand, in the original work, is a character who is given a lot of attention. This kind of attention makes his character image more layered than some of the main characters.
This doesn't have much to do with the number of times he appears. Sasori himself is a tragic character, and he easily leaves a deep impression on people.
He has a story with a beginning, middle, and end. His personality is easy to understand. Although he's a villain, he's not the kind of character people hate—it all comes down to the White Fang's fault, right?
That's why, for this reason, even non-professionals like Haori can understand that there's such a character in Naruto.
Considering the combat distance issue for puppet masters, close combat is not their forte. So, when the two get too close, Sasori will inevitably be highly focused. It would be difficult to find the right opportunity to launch an attack.
After all, no matter what technique you use, it's not easy to ambush a Kage-level ninja who is on full alert.
From this perspective, Haori's previous actions weren't an escape. If he had really wanted to run away, he would have used Lightning Release long ago.
His goal was simply to proactively increase the distance between himself and Sasori of the Red Sand, thereby relaxing the opponent's vigilance.
After all, excluding the puppet Third Kazekage, which was a relay point, the distance between Haori and Sasori of the Red Sand had already exceeded 50 meters. This distance was beyond the reach of even long-range ninjutsu. Sasori's vigilance towards Haori would naturally decrease.
However, during this chase, Haori suddenly turned around and launched a surprise attack.
Unexpectedly, Sasori of the Red Sand was caught in a pincer attack.
Although this distance was beyond the range of most jutsu, from a positional perspective, with Haori's abilities, he could accurately locate the opponent with just a glance.
And he didn't just know ninjutsu. If he were to fight a Kage-level ninja like Sasori with just his ninjutsu, his chances of winning would be almost zero.
Visibly, Haori's white hair stood on end, and Shiraishi Haori instantly bristled.
Chidori Spear activated!
Powerful electric currents converged into a dazzling and brilliant blue and white spear of light. That attack speed was beyond the limits of visual, neural, and physical reaction.
Even experienced ninjas wouldn't be able to react.
Even experienced Kage-level ninjas wouldn't be able to react.
This was a speed that couldn't be avoided or defended against dimensionally.
Considering that advanced time-space jutsu like Flying Thunder God or Kamui also require time to activate, theoretically, as long as Haori activated it first, the opponent wouldn't be able to avoid Chidori Spear.
To throw people off the scent, Haori decided to call it "Chidori Sharp Spear Three Stages" if he used it in front of people in the future.
A path of light carrying destruction instantly connected the short distance between Haori and Sasori. Almost simultaneously, everything in a straight line was pierced through.
Including the trees.
Including the rocks.
Including Sasori of the Red Sand at the end.
"Tsk!"
After completing his attack, Haori didn't run away. He stood on a thick branch and clicked his tongue.
His voice conveyed dissatisfaction and regret.
His surprise attack had targeted Sasori's neck. According to his calculations, this move should have severed the opponent's head... This wasn't Haori being overly bloody and violent. It was just that against puppet masters, especially a puppet master like Sasori, cutting off their head didn't necessarily guarantee that you had killed them.
Who knew what kind of inhuman modifications Sasori had made to himself at this point.
But Sasori's head ultimately didn't fly off.
The previous assumptions were all ideal scenarios. Chidori Spear couldn't be dodged after it was activated, but it also took time to activate, even if it wasn't long.
Haori himself wasn't that fast.
The moment Haori suddenly turned around and a flash of light began to emanate from the center of his forehead, Sasori realized something was wrong.
The judgment, reaction, and evasion capabilities of a Kage-level ninja were on full display at this moment.
Before Sasori could even fully process his thoughts, his figure instinctively shifted to the left!
Chidori Spear's attack had arrived.
This attack did indeed cause extremely severe damage to a normal person: Sasori's right arm was almost severed at the shoulder!
However, Haori saw clearly that the opponent didn't shed a single drop of blood... That right arm had already been completely puppetized.
Why did Haori feel regret? He had used his ultimate move, but it wasn't a major injury to Sasori.
The reason this battle could continue was because Haori had an advantage in terms of intelligence. He knew a lot about Sasori, but Sasori knew nothing about him.
The importance of intelligence in ninja battles is self-evident. A classic example is Jiraiya fighting Pain. In that battle, because of his intelligence disadvantage, the Toad Sage was constantly pressured by his own student and ultimately met his death.
But this intelligence advantage would gradually disappear with each step of the battle.
Losing an arm wasn't a big deal for a puppet master of Sasori's level. Haori had stopped, but after dodging Chidori Spear, Sasori didn't even stop his charge forward.
Affecting the puppet's control?
Impossible.
After losing his arm, several chakra threads extended directly from the wound on Sasori's shoulder, connecting to the Third Kazekage puppet.
Without any unnecessary words, without even a wrinkle on his brow, Sasori controlled the puppet and continued to advance. But at this time, he also knew that this Konoha ninja had been holding back. He had to get serious.
In a few steps, Haori entered the puppet's attack range.
"Click, click, click," the Third Kazekage's mouth opened, and black objects drifted and coalesced like mist!
It was iron sand.
So, the next move was predictable.
Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!
Similar to Hiruko's Needle Eight Waves, but Magnet Release iron sand attacks were more dense, more sudden, and more overwhelming!
So, Haori was blinded...
Yes, he was blinded, but not out of fear. In fact, this attack didn't threaten him at all.
He was an expert in iron sand too!
Faced with this torrential iron sand attack, Haori lightly extended his palm in front of his chest. Then, the phone flashed.
Like a whale swallowing water, the iron sand that the puppet attacked, covering the sky, converged into a line, then flowed like water, all gathering in Haori's hand.
Sasori immediately sensed something was wrong. He lost control of the puppet's iron sand!
Soon, Haori had completely taken control of the iron sand. With a thought, the massive ball of iron sand in front of him instantly transformed into an iron gourd under the force of strong magnetism.
With a "bang," the iron gourd, which was basically as tall as Haori's shoulders, was placed on the tree trunk beneath him.
What happened? Sasori's brain was really crashing at this moment.
But Haori was wide awake. Then, he exerted force with both arms, and the heavy gourd was placed on his shoulders.
By chance.
A solemn declaration and a serious warning: This is completely meaningless. It was purely by chance.
Haori carried the gourd, holding the mouth of the gourd with both hands, facing Sasori.
Then, he creatively adapted two well-known and widely circulated sayings from two famous life coaches, reciting them with a dramatic and rhythmic voice:
"Golden gourd~ silver gourd~ not as good as our iron gourd~"
"Sasori of the Red Sand!"
