Sasori thought Fujiwara Kirito was talking about Chinatsu, so he didn't doubt it and didn't ask any more questions. He took out the task scroll Kirito had given him earlier, glanced at it, and asked hesitantly, "Why are you interested in that kind of thing?"
"Do you know the Dragon Vein?" A hint of surprise flashed across Kirito's eyes.
"You may have forgotten what I did when I was in Akatsuki. I was mainly responsible for intelligence work." Sasori rolled his eyes at Kirito and said lightly.
"That's much easier. How about it, can you do it?" What Kirito needed Sasori to do was nothing else but to control the Dragon Vein in the ancient city of Rōran that was sealed by the Fourth Hokage. Since in the original work even a puppeteer of the level of 'Mukade' was able to do it, then Sasori, the number one puppeteer in the ninja world, would naturally be a piece of cake.
Sasori thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know what you plan to do with that thing, I think it should not be difficult to handle. It just takes a long time."
"How long will it take?" Kirito asked.
"It's hard to say. My specialty is human puppets. I haven't been involved in anything like this before. If I want to control it perfectly, it will take at least half a year or even a year."
Sasori frowned slightly. He didn't like waiting for people, nor did he like being made to wait, but he disliked imperfect things even more.
If the things he made were defective, he would rather not use them.
If he wanted to fully control something like the Dragon Vein, with his technology, it would indeed take some time to study, otherwise no one knew what might happen.
Kirito said: "Then let's set the deadline at half a year. There is a guy called 'Mukade' that you should keep an eye on. He seems to be a traitorous ninja from your village. In the near future, he might try to get that thing. Who knows, you might be able to get some inspiration from him."
Naruto is now sixteen years old. On his seventeenth birthday, the Fourth Ninja World War ended.
A year is too long. By then the Ninja World War will be almost over. Kirito can't wait that long.
The Cemetery of Mountains.
Located in the northern part of the Land of Iron, this place can be said to be a forbidden area of the Land of Iron, just like the Forest of Death during the Konoha Chūnin Exams, full of dangers.
The best samurai of the Land of Iron must have the experience of crossing the Cemetery of Mountains alone at least once in their lives.
Because only in this way can they be qualified to be called the best samurai and gain the title of "samurai who see through life and death."
Once they pass the trial of the Cemetery of Mountains, they will be able to leave a strong mark in the history of the Land of Iron.
Everyone will remember that there was such a talented warrior in history who crossed the Cemetery of Mountains alone when he was in his twenties.
This is the place of pilgrimage for every young warrior, and it is also the place where many young talents fall.
Besides that, it is also the place where the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is hidden and where the senjutsu stone slabs fell.
In the center of the huge cemetery, there is a massive skeleton.
Wearing an Uzumaki mask and a tight black combat suit that wrapped his entire body tightly, Obito sat cross-legged on the skeleton. He asked indifferently, "What's the situation?"
"The sealing of the One-Tail has been completed, but there is still no news from Sasori and Deidara. I'm afraid they have met with accidents." Black Zetsu answered in a hoarse voice as a huge pitcher plant rose from the ground.
White Zetsu added: "It seems that they didn't capture the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki."
Hearing about the misfortune of Sasori and Deidara, Obito's eyes did not show any emotion, but the words that White Zetsu said later made him frown immediately, "Didn't that Kirito guy take action?"
"After watching the duel between Deidara and the One-Tail Jinchūriki, his real body returned to Amegakure to be with his wife and child, leaving only a shadow clone there," Zetsu answered in a hoarse but respectful voice.
"This guy really knows how to pick the right time." Obito said with a headache: "Let's go and take a look. It's time for me to join the Akatsuki organization as a formal member."
After saying this, the right eye socket under Obito's mask began to twist, sucking his body into the Kamui space.
However, just as he entered the Kamui space, he happened to encounter the clay self-destruct clone teleported in by Kakashi.
The flame clone exploded, creating a huge flame mushroom cloud in the Kamui space, instantly covering Obito.
It was too late to use Kamui to teleport away, so Obito had no choice but to use his newly transplanted left eye to cast Izanagi.
Then he was teleported out of the Kamui space.
"Aren't you going to the River Country stronghold? Why are you back again?" Seeing Obito appear again, Zetsu, who had not yet had time to merge into the ground, said with some surprise.
"Is that Kakashi guy able to use Kamui already?" Obito did not answer, but just gently stroked his right eye.
As he spoke, the right eye socket under Obito's mask twisted again, sucking the body into it, and disappeared.
"It seems that Kakashi can already use the power of Obito's left eye. Then let's follow him." Zetsu's body sank back into the ground and disappeared.
For the two who possess space-time ninjutsu and Mayfly Technique,
A place that ordinary ninjas would need several days or even dozens of days to reach—
They will arrive in a moment.
At the moment they arrived, Fujiwara Kirito sensed them for the first time. He looked in their direction and released Kyōka Suigetsu. He turned his back to Sasori and said, "It looks like Zetsu and the others have arrived. You go first. Don't forget our agreement."
"Then how should I contact you in the future?" Sasori asked hesitantly.
"The scroll I gave you has the Flying Thunder God Seal that I set." Kirito formed seals with his hands and summoned a few crows. "These crows are my summoning beasts. As long as you have any news, you can contact me through these crows. I will immediately use space-time ninjutsu to teleport to your side."
In fact, not only the scroll, but also the Flying Thunder God Seal was placed on Sasori's Regeneration Core just in case, and it was also placed inside the core that he repaired with medical ninjutsu.
"Flying Thunder God?" Sasori was startled, and when he opened the scroll, he saw the word "Sen" in an inconspicuous place. He couldn't help but sigh, "You are really scary. You even learned this advanced space-time ninjutsu. But this should be the space-time ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage. Where did you get it from?"
"Of course I got it from Orochimaru. Otherwise, do you think there is no benefit? That stinky snake was able to slip away from my hands time and time again. In fact, every time, he paid for it with his life."
Kirito looked as if it were a matter of course.
