Between the two people's conversation, their cooperation was also very tacit. Deidara manipulated the giant bird to fly close to the ground towards the exit quickly, while Sasori had been controlling the barrier made of iron sand to resist the rocks rolling down from above.
"Swish!!" Finally, the two rushed out of the narrow passage at the entrance of Sunagakure!
"We finally escaped!" Seeing that they had left the range of the passage, Deidara sighed. He had to say that the narrow passage was really a good place for an ambush. Large pieces of rock fell down, and there was simply nowhere to escape. If they hadn't just entered the passage, it was estimated that they would have been directly submerged in the rubble.
"Damn it, I finally know what exactly is going on!" At this time, Sasori, who had figured out the course of the matter, cursed angrily: "It must be that masked ninja you let go two days ago. He leaked our whereabouts!"
"This......." Deidara smiled awkwardly twice, and then said: "But even so, he shouldn't know that our target is Sunagakure, right?"
"Of course he knows! Our conversation must have been known by that guy, that's why we were ambushed by the Sunagakure ninjas!" Sasori looked at Deidara with a hateful expression.
"That..... let's not talk about these things first, let's discuss the subsequent plan." Seeing that Sasori was about to vent his anger on him, Deidara immediately wittily changed the topic.
"What should we do now, Sasori-danna?" Deidara continued to ask.
"Now we can only retreat temporarily and make plans later." Sasori asked with a frown.
"Can you leave?" At this time, a clear and cold voice rang out, and then, a giant hand made of sand grabbed towards the giant bird they were riding on!
"Hmph!" Sasori moved his hands, and the Third Kazekage he was controlling also moved. The iron sand that had been gathered together suddenly changed shape and turned into a huge beheading sword, cutting off the giant sand hand that was grabbing over!
"That is......" Deidara looked forward and found that the owner of this hand made of sand was none other than their target: Gaara!
At this time, Gaara was standing on the sand and also flying up. He was hovering in front of Deidara's giant bird, and sand was constantly emerging from the gourd behind him. After learning the news from Konoha, Gaara not only didn't hide, but took on the responsibility of the Kazekage and came to this place to surround the Akatsuki ninjas.
"Hey, Sasori-danna, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tail actually appeared in front of us himself ah!" Deidara said with an excited expression: "We don't have to go looking for him!"
"Yeah, that indeed saved us a lot of trouble. It's just that he's not the only one who came." Sasori also nodded, and then looked behind him. A large number of Sunagakure ninjas were also rushing over from the narrow passage.
"Then what should we do? I don't want to miss this great opportunity ah." Deidara said with an excited expression.
"In that case, then you take down this Jinchuriki. As for the other Sunagakure ninjas, leave them to me. After all, I'm most suitable for fighting against a large number of enemies!" Sasori said coldly, and then directly jumped off the back of the giant bird and stood on the ground.
Looking at the approaching Sunagakure ninjas, Sasori roughly counted them, and there were about two or three hundred people.
They were aggressive, holding different weapons in their hands, as if they were determined to eat Sasori and Deidara.
"There are so many people? The pressure is not small ah..... Since that's the case, then I'll directly use that move!" Sasori gritted his teeth, and then took out another scroll.
"Red Secret Technique: Puppet Show of a Hundred Warriors!" Hundreds of puppets wearing red robes suddenly appeared above Sasori. Each puppet used a different weapon, and each puppet was pulled by a chakra thread. The other end of the thread was hidden in Sasori's right chest.
"Wh-What a terrifying ninjutsu. He actually manipulated so many puppets!!" Seeing Sasori summon so many puppets in an instant, the Sunagakure ninjas, especially Kankuro, were completely shocked.
"I'll use these hundreds of puppets to deal with you hundreds of ninjas!" Sasori revealed a vicious smile and said.
"Since Sasori-danna has used this move, then I have to deal with it properly too, hmm." Seeing Sasori use Puppet Show of a Hundred Warriors, Deidara also nodded, and looked at Gaara. The battle between the two sides was about to break out!
Land of Wind, Sunagakure, a few hundred meters in front of the narrow passage.
This place was already a mess. The originally harsh environment had become even worse. The ground was full of potholes and a miserable sight. In the sky, Deidara was covering his severed arm and constantly panting, while Gaara was already lying on the ground, with some explosive wounds on his body.
Similar to the original story, Deidara subdued Gaara by sacrificing one hand and mixing clay into the sand to detonate it. On the other side, Sasori, facing hundreds of Sunagakure ninjas, could still deal with them for a period of time, but as the Sunagakure ninjas' support increased, even he, who could control hundreds of puppets in an instant, was powerless and was forced to retreat by the Sunagakure ninjas.
In the end, all of the hundreds of puppets in Sasori's Puppet Show of a Hundred Warriors were destroyed, and even the Third Kazekage's puppet was damaged quite a bit. Dozens of Sunagakure ninjas also died, and dozens of them were poisoned and unconscious, but even so, the Sunagakure ninjas still had a lot of reserves.
Just as Sasori felt that his little life was about to be handed over to these Sunagakure ninjas, good news finally came from Deidara.
"Sasori-danna, I've finally defeated the Jinchuriki!" Deidara said breathlessly. At this time, Gaara's body had been grabbed by his owl and taken into the high sky.
Seeing this, Sasori also breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost collapsed under the joint attack of the Sunagakure ninjas, but now he didn't have to be afraid.
With a Body Flicker Technique, Sasori quickly retreated and moved away from the Sunagakure ninjas.
"If you want to keep your Kazekage alive, then immediately put down your weapons!" Sasori directly used a small knife made of iron sand and placed it on the neck of Gaara, who had already fainted.
"This......" Hearing that their Kazekage was in danger, the Sunagakure ninjas immediately stopped, and just as Maki, Kankuro, and other main force ninjas of Sunagakure were thinking, Sasori took the opportunity to jump onto the back of Deidara's owl. Then the owl lifted its legs and began to fly away into the distance!
Seeing this, the Sunagakure ninjas quickly chased after them, but it was a pity that Sunagakure's military power was too weak for aerial combat. In such a large village, apart from Gaara, none of the other ninjas knew flying ninjutsu, or even had flying summoning beasts.
Therefore, after Deidara's owl flew over a cliff, the Sunagakure ninjas completely lost track of them.
After losing track, the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure immediately held an emergency meeting. No matter what, the shadow of a village had been captured, which could definitely be considered a top priority. Not only that, but they also had dozens of Sunagakure ninjas who had been poisoned by Sasori and couldn't be detoxified, and their lives were also in danger.
But when they gathered together to discuss countermeasures, they helplessly discovered that they had no way at all.
The two strongest people in Sunagakure now were Gaara and Chiyo.
But when Maki found Granny Chiyo, she also said that she was powerless against Sasori's poison, because although Granny Chiyo was good at making poison, she was not good at detoxifying. And in this world, it was feared that only Tsunade was the most skilled at detoxification.
Helplessly, a group of people had no choice but to immediately decide to ask Konoha for help, and could only hope that Konoha would help them again.
The contact hawk set off from Sunagakure again and headed to Konoha Village.
Thus, Kaoru and Wan'er, who had just gotten up early in the morning, were directly called to the Hokage Building.
"What happened? Lord Tsunade?" Wan'er rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked Tsunade. It seemed that only the two of them were called here.
"The Kazekage of Sunagakure, Gaara, has been taken away by the Akatsuki organization!" Tsunade said shockingly.
"What?!" Hearing this news, the most surprised should be Kaoru. He frowned and asked quickly: "What exactly is going on? How could Gaara be taken away? Didn't we already issue a warning to Sunagakure?"
"According to the letter of request for help, Sunagakure had originally formulated a complete plan, but unfortunately, there was an Akatsuki mole in their Sunagakure, so the plan fell short. Not only that, but they also seemed to underestimate the strength of the Akatsuki organization, which led to the complete defeat in this battle." Tsunade said.
After Tsunade said this, Kaoru remembered that Sasori had a mole in the original story. It seemed that this mole had ruined things.
"But it shouldn't be to the point where Gaara was captured, right? Since they had already received our information in advance, didn't Gaara hide?" Wan'er asked strangely.
