Chapter 697: Is it Danzō vs Akatsuki?
Boom! Boom! Boom! BOOM!
The sudden sound of an explosion from outside the cave brought ‘Madara’ out of his thoughts, he glanced at Zetsu for a while then rushed outside the cave only to find Sasori fighting against a team of Konoha Anbu, while Tobi was cheering from the side.
Since the information about Danzō’s tracks has been found by Konoha, naturally they are here to hunt him down.
It’s a pity that the moment they tracked down Danzō to this cave, they encountered Sasori and Tobi who were guarding the cave. The moment Sasori saw the team of Konoha Anbu, especially those with conspicuous silver hair, he had the idea of revenge for his parents who died at the hands of Whtie Fang of Konoha and immediately attacks the Anbu team.
Standing on the back of the Chimera Bird that once belonged to Hiruko, Sasori glanced at ‘Madara’ and questioned, “Dealt with him already?”
Zetsu shook his head, “Shimura Danzō is not here, this location is just a diversion, he is very likely on Nagato’s side.”
“Sigh, I wanted to personally kill him and use his body for my new puppet, not it seems I came here for nothing…” Sasori complained in dissatisfaction, then he glanced at the team of Konoha Anbu not for away and spoke with a smile, “Oh well, I suppose it doesn’t matter anymore, I can kill them all and use them for my puppets, although not as good as the Shimura Danzō, they also seem to be good material.”
Sasori’s focus at this time is only revenge and puppets. For him, the Konoha Anbu in front of him is just a bunch of puppet material.
On Konoha’s side, as the Anbu shinobi watched ‘Madara’ and Zetsu walk out of the cave, they couldn’t help but get panicked. With a nervous expression, one of the Anbu shinobi leaned toward Kakashi’s side and whispered, “Sir, what to do now?”
They were here only to hunt down the seriously injured Shimura Danzō, they never thought that they will encounter members of the Akatsuki Organization at such a place. Not to mention encounter three extremely powerful members at the same time, Sasori, Tobi, and ‘Madara’, not to mention Zetsu is also present here.
Everyone knows that the members of the Akatsuki Organization aren’t easy to deal with, if they had encountered only one member it was still possible to fight back, but handle three at the same time? There are zero chances of victory, able to retreat with their lives would already be more than enough!
That’s why almost everyone is a bit nervous now.
Kakashi didn’t seem to hear the Anbu’s question, all his attention was focused on the masked man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara.
Feeling Kakashi’s fiery gaze, ‘Madara’ narrowed his eyes, ‘Seems like Kakashi has really guessed it… it appears that I can no longer hide from him…’ and thought inwardly, ‘Well no matter, even if Kakashi has figured it out, it changes nothing… my goal remains the same!’
While ‘Madara’ was in the midst of thoughts, Sasori unfolded a scroll and said with a playful smirk, “This is the new and improved puppet technique I have created… Konoha Anbu, Hatake Kakashi, you people are going to be the first ones facing this, do struggle for a while because I need to collect some data in order to perfect it.”
With that, he slammed his hand on the unfolded scroll, and puff! With a puff of white smoke, a human puppet appeared on the battlefield. It had white hair and two iconic red dots on the forehead, From a single look, anyone can tell that it used to be a member of the nearly extinct Kaguya Clan.
But the question is, what’s so different about this puppet that Sasori would call it a new and improved puppet technique?
Well to answer that question, this human puppet was not connected to any chakra strings that the puppeteers generally used to control their puppets to their liking, rather, this puppet was inlaid with black conspicuous rods at conspicuous points just like Nagato’s Six Paths of Pain!
With his new masterpiece out and ready, Sasori stated, “Don’t die so easily!” and the battle began.
…
Somewhere in the sky.
Standing on the explosive clay bird, Kuroto–whose soul is currently inside the Earth Chakra Nature Clone–activated her Byakugan and observed her surroundings.
Similar to the previous clones, because the quality of Byakugan in the clones is very high, so she is able to observe quite large distances without the need for any special equipment using relying only on her Byakugan.
As she was observing, she suddenly discovered something in the distance, and muttered with a frown, “A battle between shinobis? That cave in the distance should be the place Itachi told me about… It seems that other parties are also present there, the only question is, who is fighting who? Are they from the five great shinobi villages and confronting Shimura Danzō, or are they someone else? It appears that to see the identities of the parties I have to get a bit closer…”
With that understood, she controlled the bird to fly a bit closer and tried to see the identity of the people, and as soon as she realized their identities, she was taken aback, “Akatsuki Organization?” and muttered suspiciously, “What the hell is Akatsuki Organization doing here?”
Due to being at a distance of tens of kilometers from the cave, she couldn’t see the exact situation there, however, she was able to spot several people wearing a conspicuous black cloak with red cloud prints and concluded that Akatsuki Organization is one of the parties present there.
As soon as she figures this out, she slowed down the speed of the explosive clay bird and used her Byakugan to further observe the battlefield, and mutters doubtfully, “Is Akatsuki Organization fighting against Danzō?”
She is not yet certain of the other party’s identity and assumed the possibility that it might be Shimura Danzō. If it’s as she thought, if Akatsuki Organization is really fighting against Shimura Danzō, then that would be quite troublesome. Although she can take advantage of Akatsuki and Danzō’s conflict and use this opportunity to finish both of them, she really doubts it would be so easy.
