Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

Chapter 60 Yuanxu

At this moment, Reikawa Uzumaki suddenly frowned and shouted, "Get out of the way!" At the same time, he controlled the chains to throw Shiki Aburame away.

The next moment, Hiruko's venomous tail pierced the spot where Aburame Shiki had just been standing, scattering gravel and creating a deep crater.

Reikawa Uzumaki used the Vajra Blockade to defend himself, having to take care of not only himself but also Shiki Aburame.

Her brows furrowed immediately as she considered whether to let Shiki Aburame leave first. Had she been distracted while speaking? She herself was fine, but with Tsunade not around, it would be terrible if Shiki Aburame were even slightly touched. She remembered that Chiyo was powerless against these poisons.

The reason why Maki wasn't allowed to join the battle was also because he lacked the ability to withstand damage, and would have been easy prey for Sasori's poison. Moreover, the Sand Village needed him to take charge of the overall situation.

Meanwhile, Chiyo, who was hiding in the shadows looking for an opportunity, was honestly a little stunned by the turn of events that had occurred in such a short time. When she came to her senses, she looked at Sasori, who was fighting two Konoha ninjas but was suppressing them, and her grandson...

"Sasori..." He's gotten stronger again... There was a hint of sadness in Granny Chiyo's eyes, but she knew her grandson well, and even if Sasori were willing to come back, given what he had done, the Sand Village would not tolerate him.

Thinking of this, Chiyo sighed. So be it; she hadn't been able to protect Sasori's parents… All she could do with her old bones was prevent Sasori from making any more mistakes. Just as Chiyo was about to intervene, she suddenly saw the situation take another turn.

The next moment, just as Hiruko was about to press her advantage and kill Aburame Shiki, many insects suddenly crawled out of her body, and the puppet's attack movements seemed to freeze, like a frame skipping.

Aburame Shiki, who had been thrown into the air, coughed twice and thanked Uzumaki Reikawa. Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on her lips as she adjusted her askew sunglasses.

Since the puppet wants to move, it must have joints and gaps. As long as the parasitic insects can enter and find the core, they can devour the chakra and cause damage.

Just now, Aburame Shiki controlled the insects to conceal their presence and crawled from the sand onto Hiruko's body. However, due to distraction, she was unable to dodge the attack properly. If Uzumaki Reikawa hadn't used the chain to pull her back, she would have been poisoned even if she hadn't died from that blow.

If you were alone, you definitely wouldn't dare to do this kind of risky play. And if your teammate doesn't save you, you'll be doomed too. Fortunately, Uzumaki Zero reacted in time.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of these chakra-devouring insects, Sasori became agitated, but he also made a quick decision to withdraw into Hiruko's body. These insects could bite through his chakra threads, and it would be terrible if they invaded his main body.

However, Zero River was prepared for this. The moment Scorpion leaped out, the Vajra Lock was waiting above. The chains made a rustling sound as they bound Scorpion's body like a dumpling!

Yes, Reikawa Uzumaki would never admit that this was resentment from being tied up before; it was just to prevent Sasori from using the mechanisms on his body, that's all.

However, just when everyone thought it was over, upon closer inspection, it turned out that the one bound by chains was just an ordinary puppet, while the real scorpion jumped out from behind.

"Good coordination." Sasori, now revealing his true form, said coldly, whether in praise or sarcasm was unclear. He took out a scroll from behind him and instantly summoned a dense array of puppets. A machine-like opening appeared on his chest, and countless chakra threads flew out to connect the puppets.

Crimson Secret Technique: Hundred Machine Manipulation!!

Just as Sasori was about to launch a counterattack, ten puppets dressed in white and wearing masks suddenly appeared—the Chikamatsu Ten! Chiyo finally made her move.

……

Meanwhile, the real Gaara slowly propped himself up from the ground, rubbing his still somewhat dizzy head. He was puzzled as to why Uzumaki Reikawa had knocked him unconscious. With the help of the One-Tailed Beast, he should at least be considered a fighting force, or did Reikawa think he wasn't qualified? And where was he right now?

"Oh, you're awake?" Hyuga Kito was a little surprised. His recovery time was much faster than Sasuke's. Was it because Jinchuriki generally had stronger physical abilities?

"Who are you?" Gaara frowned, his whole body tensing up. However, when he tried to mobilize his chakra, he found that his chakra could not be circulated at all, as the acupoints for chakra circulation were sealed.

Seeing his actions, Hyuga Kito said, "Don't misunderstand, this is just to prevent you from misunderstanding me."

"..." Gaara.

Hyuga Kito, seeing Gaara staring at him with utter hostility, said, "Hmm... alright, it seems you've misunderstood. Let me briefly introduce myself. I'm from Genjuroku. You can call me Kito. Someone has come to hire us to take you away from there."

Upon hearing this, Gaara slightly withdrew his hostility and instead of directly asking who the hired person was, he murmured softly, "Genjutsu... a wooden puppet?" Coming back to his senses, he asked, "Then where is this place?"

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Kito looked around and explained, "This is the border of the Land of Rivers. You don't need to be so wary of me. After all, I have something to do and need to leave in a little while."

After saying that, he suddenly seemed to remember something. "Oh right, according to the agreement, I will release your pressure points later. There should be Konoha ninjas coming to meet you then, but whether you go with them or not is up to you."

Gaara's brows remained furrowed upon hearing this, and he asked with some confusion, "Where are you going? How is the situation in Sunagakure?" Gaara wasn't surprised that the Konoha ninja would come to meet him, because Uzumaki Reikawa had mentioned it before, except that he was talking about sneaking out and then blaming Genjutsu.

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Kito retorted, "How do you think you escaped so easily? The battle over there isn't over yet."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "I've said everything I need to say. You can ask the rest yourself. Oh, and here's a bonus: the Akatsuki have captured the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails. We haven't received any news about the others yet. If you're asking me, I suggest you hide. Although we Genjutsu take priority in protecting Jinchuriki, we can't follow you around forever."

……

Meanwhile, on Uchiha Gen's side, his main body and Ainz Ooal Gown are in a standoff with Konan and Deidara. Neither of them has made the first move, or rather, they have already exchanged a brief blow. It seems that the numbers are even and neither side can gain the upper hand.

However, just as the situation was at a stalemate, another person suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Seeing that the person was also wearing a white mask, Xiao Nan's heart sank.

This person is none other than Hyuga Kito, who reappeared after disbanding himself.

Xiao Nan took a deep breath, knowing she wouldn't be able to catch Yiwei this time. Her clear, cold voice slowly asked, "Who exactly are you? And what is Yuan Xu's purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen spoke up:

"mirror!"

"Bone Lord!"

"Wooden figure!"

After registering, Uchiha Gen smiled and said, "As for the purpose, it's nothing more than accepting employment."
