Chapter 2 Forming a Group to Catch Sasori Of the red sand

"Sasori of Red Sand, the genius puppet master of Sand Ninja Village?"

"Wrong, Sasori is a rebellious ninja, he no longer belongs to the sand ninja village."

After correcting Jiraiya, Haruto continued, "Sasori assassinated the third Kazekage, faked his disappearance, and turned him into a human puppet!"

"Wait a minute, puppet?"

Jiraiya also showed a surprised expression, the puppet technique is the secret technique of the sand ninja village, not to mention that only a very few people know the special technique of the Sasori.

"Yes, this is the gate of hell opened by a genius..."

Haruto only spoke half of what he said, and noticed that Jiraiya's brows were wrinkled together unnaturally, and then said, "I know who you thought of, unfortunately, he is very similar to Sasori."

"If it's true as you said, I really want to give Sasori a punch!"

Jiraiya also smiled wryly, but what he was thinking about was the scroll sent by another toad, the content was that Orochimaru was still conducting human experiments in secret!

If Haruto hadn't obtained the key information, Jiraiya wanted to return to Konoha immediately, and stop Orochimaru at all costs.

He didn't expect that it would be another genius to indirectly create the third Ninja War, so Jiraiya could only lament, "It would be great if there were less geniuses in this world..."

Haruto patted Jiraiya on the shoulder, and said half-jokingly, "I think you are the real genius."

"Hahaha, I think we are the same kind of people."

"Except for being lustful, it's pretty much the same."

"Tch, what do little brats know, I just have a pair of eyes that can detect beauty."

After a wave of business exchanges, the haze on Jiraiya's face was swept away.

The two returned to the topic of the Third Kazekage.

"As long as the Kazekage puppet made by Sasori can be recaptured, the leaderless situation in Sand Ninja Village will be resolved. I think they will be willing to cooperate with us."

"Third Raikage are dead, and only the AB combination remains at the top of Cloud Ninja Village. As long as Team AB is defeated, the Kingdom of Thunder will no longer be considered a threat."

"The trouble is actually Iwagakure and Kirigakure...I'll tell you the reason later..."

Hearing Haruto's analysis, Jiraiya was also secretly surprised, "Is that child who was used to forbearance in the past finally starting to make his mark in the ninja world?"

He also held out a finger.

"I just have one question..."

Haruto looked at him, and Jiraiya also asked, "How to find the hiding place of Sasori?"

"Aren't you worried that my intelligence might be wrong?"

Hearing Haruto's words, Jiraiya also laughed again, "I never doubt my companion's words, and your eyes have not wavered, it seems that you are confident enough."

"Just by looking?"

Student nodded affirmatively.

Sarutobi Haruto suddenly recalled how touched he was when he watched Hokage.

Because 'idiots' are too rare and precious in this brutal world of ninjas...

Seeing that Haruto had stopped talking, Jiraiya immediately asked nervously, "Are you feeling well?"

Haruto shook his head, then answered Jiraiya's question .

"Apart from being troublesome, another characteristic of geniuses is conceit. They will never really take orders from anyone, let alone hide them obediently."

"What do you mean?"

"Where would you hide if you became Konoha Rebel?"

Jiraiya also scratched his head and replied, "Of course the farther the better..."

"So you're different from them."

Jiraiya's eyes widened in shock, "You said he's still hiding in Sand Ninja Village?"

"Close, he's somewhere in this desert."

This year, apart from frantically increasing his lung capacity, Haruto was also looking for traces of Sasori.

Although the whereabouts of Sasori were not explained in the manga back then, Sasori had not yet carried out its own puppet transformation when the third Kazekage was assassinated.

Haruto boldly speculates, where will a perfectionist who does not hesitate to freeze his parents and friends in puppets complete his highest masterpiece of art? The answer is that the place is worth remembering.

After searching for several months, Haruto really found a secret underground entrance.

However, Haruto knew that he would only give Sasori experience if he rushed in rashly, so he used the scroll left by Jiraiya to summon Toad and passed the information to him.

"Then let's catch the Sasori now!"

Just after Jiraiya finished speaking, Haruto stopped him in a deep voice, "We are working on the territory of Sand Ninja Village, and our goal is also related to the disappearance of Sandaim Kazekage. I am afraid that acting rashly will cause negative effects."

"Do you want to ask the people of Sand Ninja Village for help when the two countries are in conflict?"

Haruto nodded, "Not only do we need to inform Sand Ninja Village, but we also need to invite a sand shinobis to cooperate with us. You first sneak into Sand Ninja Village with me to find someone."

Seeing Haruto's confident appearance, although Jiraiya's face was full of question marks, he still used the disguise technique to transform into a super handsome uncle dressed in the Land of Wind.

At a sentry post in Sand Ninja Village, Baki was lost in thought while looking at the starry sky.

"The life and death of the third generation is uncertain. Can Mr. Rasa succeed Kazekage smoothly?"

Since Rasa used Magnetic Escape to crush the ambitions of iwagakure, the voices in the village opposing him to succeed Kazekage have become smaller and smaller. Get back on track.

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of Baki.

"Who?"

The boy raised his head and said softly, "Mr. Baki, we meet again."

Seeing that it was Haruto, Baki raised his vigilance instead, because not being able to use Chakra does not mean that he must not be an enemy.

"are you looking for me?"

"Two sentences, first, I come from Konoha, the land of fire."

Hearing this, Baki quickly pulled out a sharp kunai.

Because of the Ninja War, Baki has formed a conditioned reflex, and there are enemies outside Sand Ninja Village.

However, after thinking quickly and calmly, he asked again, "What's the second sentence?"

"Second, I know the whereabouts of Sandaim Kazekage."

As he spoke, Haruto raised his hands frankly to show that he was not hostile.

At this moment, other sand ninjas standing guard also noticed the situation on Baki's side.

"who?"

"Enemy attack?!"

Seeing his companion's reaction, Baki quickly put away Kunai, forced a smile and said, "It's okay, this person is my friend."

"friend?"

Others complained a few words and didn't come close.

Haruto heaved a sigh of relief. 

"Take a step to speak?"

"No matter who you are, no matter what you say is true or not, no matter what purpose you approach me for, I have the ability to dig out the truth from you."

Baki whispered in Haruto's ear, and raised his hand to signal to his companion.

"follow me."

Haruto left the sentry post quickly, and Baki didn't dare to neglect to follow closely. The two quickly disappeared from the sight of the patrolling ninja...
