Chapter 101: Kankuro: Hidden Sand Village's Best Equals Ninja World's Best, The Inequality Instantly Solved!
In Hidden Sand Village on the other side.
Gaara was also becoming increasingly mature.
After being mentored by Byakuya, Gaara was getting closer and closer to becoming an excellent Kazekage.
"Gaara, haven't you heard? Byakuya resigned from the position of Hokage!"
"And chose Tsunade to become the new Hokage!"
Temari wore a worried expression.
She still hoped Byakuya would become the Hokage.
"Master said a long time ago that he would never be confined to Konoha!"
As Byakuya's disciple, Gaara naturally knew his Master's intentions.
Hokage was never Master's goal.
"Right, where is Kankuro now?"
Gaara hadn't seen Kankuro for a while.
"Oh, him!"
When Kankuro was mentioned, Temari was somewhat speechless.
"Didn't Lady Chiyo say she wanted to take him as an apprentice some time ago?"
Temari recalled what happened a few days prior.
She originally thought this was a great opportunity for Kankuro!
After all, Lady Chiyo's Puppet Jutsu was unmatched in the entire Ninja World.
"Isn't that great?"
Gaara said, slightly surprised.
It wasn't a bad thing for that guy Kankuro to study Puppet Jutsu under Lady Chiyo.
"That's where the problem lies!"
Didn't Temari 347 know Kankuro's flaw?
Kankuro had always believed he was a rare genius in Puppet Jutsu.
After all, in his view, he could transform a pile of "junk" into Puppets.
This sufficiently proved his talent in Puppet Jutsu.
But Chiyo, upon hearing this, genuinely couldn't hold back.
In terms of Puppet Jutsu.
Chiyo had seen many geniuses, taught many geniuses, and even given birth to geniuses.
But she had never seen a 'genius' like Kankuro.
He treated the trash puppets others made at three or four years old like precious treasures.
Sometimes, she even wondered if Kankuro had simply never seen the world.
"Uh, so, Kankuro had a falling out with Lady Chiyo?"
Gaara's expression was truly hard to maintain.
Even though Kankuro was his brother in name,
this time, he really had to side with Lady Chiyo.
"Isn't it though? Now Kankuro is constantly studying his puppets, wanting to make Lady Chiyo regret her words!"
Temari said with a sigh.
On one side was her own younger brother, and on the other was one of the few pillars of the Village.
Temari was also in a difficult position.
"No wonder I haven't seen Kankuro lately!"
Gaara said thoughtfully.
Any normal person could see who was right and who was wrong in this matter at a glance.
Kankuro's self-esteem was just too high; he couldn't handle the blow.
This was also due to the environment they grew up in.
Meanwhile, Lady Chiyo had experienced great storms.
She had personally witnessed the glorious era of the Hidden Sand Village's Puppet Jutsu.
Back then, powerful masters of Puppet Jutsu emerged one after another in Hidden Sand Village.
So, her requirements for Kankuro were naturally a bit high.
Yet Kankuro happened to live in an era where Puppet Jutsu had declined.
The powerful puppet masters of the adult generation had all died at the hands of White Fang of Konoha.
Especially Lady Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law.
This was an immeasurable loss for the Hidden Sand Village.
Sasori, the Puppet Jutsu genius of the younger generation, had defected from Hidden Sand Village.
Successive blows led Lady Chiyo to retreat behind the scenes, no longer participating in the affairs of the Hidden Sand Village.
By the time it reached Kankuro, the Puppet Jutsu of Hidden Sand Village had already declined immensely.
This gave Kankuro an illusion.
He thought his Puppet Jutsu was already among the best in the entire Hidden Sand Village.
And since Hidden Sand Village's Puppet Jutsu was among the best in the entire Ninja World,
didn't that mean his, Kankuro's, Puppet Jutsu was already among the best in the entire Ninja World?
This led to Kankuro being somewhat unable to accept Chiyo's criticism.
Calling him a trash collector?
How could Kankuro endure that?
At this moment, in a base within the Hidden Sand Village,
Kankuro was laboriously modifying his puppets.
"Karasu (Attack Puppet), Kuroari (Capture Puppet), Sanshouuo (Defense Puppet)!"
"Next, I will definitely make your names resound throughout the entire Ninja World!"
Kankuro was full of ambition at this moment,
wanting to make a name for himself in the Ninja World with his puppets.
He had just learned to control three puppets simultaneously.
This further solidified Kankuro's conviction that he was a genius.
"How could Chiyo call me a piece of trash!"
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west; do not look down on a youth for being poor!"
Kankuro was even imagining the scenario of showing off and slapping faces when the time came.
Thinking of this, the work in his hands began to speed up.
Little did he know,
in the desert not far from the Hidden Sand Village,
"Cough, cough!!"
"I say, Big Brother Sasori, is the sandstorm in your home always this big?"
Deidara, visiting the desert for the first time, was still a bit unaccustomed.
"How about I use my clay to fly us over!"
Deidara suggested.
But unexpectedly, he was flatly rejected by Sasori.
"If you want everyone to know we're here, you're welcome to try!"
Sasori shot a cold glance at Deidara.
Sometimes Sasori wasn't sure if Deidara was truly stupid or just acting.
Their goal this time was to infiltrate the Hidden Sand Village,
and then seize the One-Tails Jinchuriki.
"By the way, Big Brother Sasori, once this mission is complete, accompany me to Iwagakure!"
For some reason, Sasori felt something was off when he heard those words.
It felt like a 'death flag' being raised.
Like saying 'after the mission is over, I'll do such-and-such.'
And then in the next second, that person is gone.
Deidara saying this while on a mission really felt wrong!
"Don't think too much."
"I'll be responsible for getting you into the Hidden Sand Village shortly!"
Sasori said indifferently.
Sasori had his people at many of the checkpoints along the way.
Arranging for Deidara to infiltrate was simply too easy.
"After you take the One-Tails, I'll hold off the pursuers behind us!"
"No problem!!"
Deidara was already getting excited.
He could say this was his favorite kind of mission.
When the time came, he just had to focus on creating Clay Bombs in the front, while Sasori in the back would have more things to consider.
Sasori and Deidara also trusted each other deeply.
Sasori believed Deidara could defeat the One-Tails Jinchuriki and capture him.
And Deidara believed Sasori could hold off all the pursuers for him!
Soon, they began to enter the core area of the Hidden Sand Village.
This was where Sasori's prestige in Hidden Sand Village became apparent.
Two consecutive checkpoints were entirely cleared by the sleeper agents Sasori had left in Hidden Sand Village.
"Lord Sasori!"
Many Ninjas looked at Sasori with eyes full of fanaticism.
The ground was littered with corpses.
These were all the fates of those who resisted.
