Konan

Drum! Drum! Drum! Drum! Drum!

There was no probing in the battle arena where the puppet army and the fusion beast army were fighting. The two sides immediately began an intense battle.

Clang!

A puppet with a sharp blade descended from the sky and was about to cut at the neck of a fusion beast. The latter reacted in time and moved his body, forcing the sharp blade to cut the hard shell on its back, making a crisp sound.

Without giving the puppet a chance to escape, the fusion beast turned around and bit back at a speed that was far from matching its body size.

Seeing that it was about to bite its body to pieces, the fusion beast child was about to reveal a happy expression.

The human puppet that seemed to have been caught unprepared suddenly moved.

In an instant, dozens of sharp blades stretched out from its arms and then shot into the mouth of the fusion beast at an extremely fast speed.

Roar ---

Having its vital parts injured, the fusion beast only had time to cry out in sorrow before it collapsed like a pillar in the sky.

The puppet that had killed the fusion beast was about to continue hunting expressionlessly when suddenly, two extremely thick arrows shot out from the shoulder of another fusion beast.

This time, the puppet wasn't lucky. After being hit by two arrows in a row, all parts of its body were shattered into pieces.

However, before the fusion beast could be happy, another puppet silently crept in front of it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, a long, sharp needle quickly extended from its hand and pierced into the head of the fusion beast.

The battle continued.

The screams of the fusion beast and the silence of the puppet were endless.

But overall, Sasori's puppet army had the upper hand.

It was because, with a wave of his finger, the puppet army was more like a well-disciplined and well-coordinated army.

This was because all the puppet movements performed by the Red Secret Skill, the Hundred Machine Field, were directly aimed at Sasori's will and could do the same in time.

Thus, under the hundred puppets' strict and effective cooperation attacks, the fusion beasts that were scattered and doing their own things were undoubtedly suffering heavy casualties.

Hiruko naturally also noticed this phenomenon.

With a solemn expression, he quickly made a series of hand seals.

Soon, all the remaining synthesized beasts gathered together with four or five of them in a group, and then they fused with each other at an extremely fast speed, combining into larger and more bizarre-looking fusion beasts.

The Ghost Sprout Art that the gods left behind could not only merge the Psychic Beast and Blood Limit Realm into one's body, but it could also allow the fusion of the fusion beasts.

At this moment, a new fusion beast, four or five times larger than before, covered in bone armour, rushed out even faster. After smashing the two puppets that could not dodge in time, it opened its mouth wide, and hot flames suddenly sprayed out, turning into a fire wave that flew towards the puppets in the air.

"Hmph! A trapped beast still wants to fight!"

Sasori coldly snorted. After controlling the nearby puppets to dodge, he ordered a special puppet to come before the fire wave.

The latter opened his hands, and two pipes quickly stretched out from his palms. An instant, a terrifying suction force was emitted from the pipe, and all the flames the fusion beast spat out were sucked in. Not to mention that this puppet was completely fine.

Not only that but not long after, the mouth of this puppet also spewed out the fierce fire wave from before. As the original owner of the fusion beast, it could not dodge in time and directly turned into charcoal.

There were many more examples like this.

Although the fusion of more powerful fusion beasts had caused some trouble for Sasori in the beginning.

However, this was only trouble in the end. At most, it would only cause him to lose more puppets and delay his work.

Soon, under the influence of the Scorpion Art puppet army, only a few hundred synthesized beasts were originally summoned.

Hiruko's expression was very ugly at this moment.

Ever since he defected to Konoha, this was the first time in many years that he truly felt that death was about to arrive.

Taking advantage of the remaining fusion beasts to stall for time, he quickly removed four Corpse Sealing Scrolls from his body and unsealed them all.

Four ninjas with Blood Limits appeared in front of him.

He could no longer tolerate the great risk of not developing the Ghost Sprout Art. He also didn't think that these four blood limit seals didn't meet his requirements.

Right now, all he could do was fight for his last chance.

Even if he couldn't succeed, the berserk Ghost Sprout Art could still bring this damned fellow away with him!

Hiruko began to form seals with a cold expression.

Almost at the same time, Sasori, who noticed this scene, did not say a word and immediately controlled the puppets to attack him.

At this moment, time became particularly slow.

The speed of the hand seals was left behind, and the puppets with sharp blades were separated.

Just as the two sides were about to decide who was faster, the arrival of an uninvited guest broke the situation.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The pieces of paper that filled the sky were constantly spinning as they folded into the shape of swords in their hands. They were extremely fast and extremely sharp as they shot towards the puppets that were charging towards them.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, the puppets broke apart one after another.

"Who is it?"

Sasori's tone suddenly changed, and he turned to look at his right hand.

At the same time, seeing that someone had helped him, Hiruko also stopped forming hand seals and looked over with a happy expression.

Under the sunlight, a woman wearing a black background red cloud windbreaker and a pair of huge white wings slowly descended from the sky.

"Who are you? Why do you want to stop me?" Sasori asked with an ugly expression.

It was Konan from the Akatsuki organization.

Hearing this, she lowered her head indifferently. Her lips, with a nail on the bottom of her lips, said, "I am the envoy of the 'Akatsuki' organization. I am here to recruit Sasori to join the organization. In the future, you must use your strength to help us."

"Hehe. Look at your tone. You look down on people. Akatsuki? An organization I have never heard of. I am not interested." "Also, if you really want to recruit me, you should not have stopped me just now."

"Originally, you were the only one who came to me this time," Konan said as he landed on the ground. Then, he looked at Hiruko and said, "It's just that after seeing that this person's strength is not bad, I have a new idea of joining the organization."

"You can treat 'Akatsuki' as a shelter for the people who betrayed the Ninja Village. After joining, as long as you successfully complete the mission, no one will care what you want to do."

After that, Konan turned his eyes to the two people and waited for an answer.

Facing such an invitation, Hiruko, who was already spent, nodded without any hesitation.

"Sounds good. I'm in!"

For now, the most important thing was how to save his own life.

He could join any organisation if this woman before him could protect him.

As for later, when he mastered the Ghost Sprout Art, wouldn't he just quit or become the boss if he wanted to?

"If this kind of person can join your so-called Akatsuki organization, then I have even less interest in participating." On the other side, Sasori's attitude was still firm and unyielding.

Not only that, he even looked at Konan with fiery eyes and said, "Your physique is very special. It seems that today I am lucky to be able to obtain another good corpse!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasori immediately controlled the nearest puppet to slash at Konan.

Rip! Rip!

Without any obstruction, Konan's body was cut into several pieces.

However, in the next second, several pieces of her body instantly turned into countless pieces of paper and floated into the air.

Not long after, behind Sasori, these pieces of paper that were flying everywhere gathered together and once again condensed into Konan's figure.

"Paper again? What kind of ninjutsu is this?" Sasori turned around, her face full of confusion.

Konan did not answer. He only said, "I really can't do anything to you. Since that's the case, I can only take you away by force."

After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and pressed down. Thousands of pieces of paper rapidly separated from her body. One by one, they continued to turn into paper swords, covering the sky and earth as they shot towards the puppets controlled by Sasori.

Drum! Drum! Drum!

Sasori's puppets were quickly shattered under the airtight attacks from the paper hands.

"Da** it!"

Sasori immediately controlled the puppets to dodge with difficulty, and at the same time, he also controlled the human puppet's 3rd Kazekage to attack.

Magnetic Evasion - Sand Iron - Rain!

The vast sea of sand quickly offset the countless swords in the hands of paper.

Taking advantage of this time, Sasori continued to use the full strength of the puppet's 3rd Kazekage.

Magnetic Escape - Iron Needle!

Magnetic Escape - Sand - Iron Prism Awl!

Magnetic Escape - Sand - Iron Top!

All kinds of Magnetic Release Ninjutsu struck Konan, but the result was still the same as before; the opponent only had to break up his body to re-combine this movement.

Konan, who was in the state of 'Dance of Paper', could completely turn himself into a piece of paper, immune to the damage brought by physical attacks.

Although the 3rd Kazekage's magnetic escape was ninjutsu, she relied more on the impact force brought by the sand iron, so she naturally could ignore it.

"Then, what about the poison?"

Sasori was moved. He summoned a thousand arms from the charm on the left arm of the puppet's 3rd Kazekage. He extended them towards Konan and opened the poison trap inside.

In an instant, a large amount of purple poison mist engulfed Konan.

But it was still useless.

Konan, whose entire body had been turned into a piece of paper, naturally would not be poisoned without breathing.

"What a strange technique!" Seeing that his attack was ineffective again, even as an enemy, Sasori could not help but sigh at Konan's technique.

However, he did not stop.

Any technique required the support of Chakra, and he didn't believe that the other party would continue to maintain this state.

Magnetic Release: Sand - Iron - World.

Just as Sasori was about to control the 3rd Kazekage, Konan took the lead and made a new move.

She spread her arms, and countless pieces of paper scattered from her body.

Then, under the conscious control of his consciousness, the numerous pieces of paper rapidly flew towards the puppet in the air - the 3rd Kazekage.

Soon, pieces of white paper were pasted all over the latter's body, who could not dodge in time.

These pieces of paper seemed to have the effect of sealing.

Not to mention the 3rd Kazekage ninjutsu of the Human Puppet, when a large number of pieces of paper completely wrapped around the other party, Sasori found that he had completely broken the connection with the former.

Rumble!

The 3rd Kazekage of the Human Puppet fell from the sky, creating a pit on the ground.

Sasori's child could not help but shrink.

Konan, who had gathered a large number of pieces of paper in the air again, looked at him and said indifferently,

"I repeat, Sasori the Red Sand Scorpion, join the Akatsuki organization and lend us a hand."
