The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

"The grandson of Elder Chiyo, the former genius of the Sand Village, is actually the one who assassinated the Sandaime Kazekage!"

"Sinner, this is the great sinner who caused the continuous wars in the village!"

"What a beast! He assassinated the Third Kazekage and now he's leading people to attack the village. Elder Chiyo's family actually produced such a beast!"

.......

Chiyo and Sasori's conversation revealed so much that the Sand Ninjas assisting from the perimeter erupted in discussion. Many of them were victims of the Third Shinobi World War, with relatives injured and disabled in the conflict. At the time, they had assumed Konoha had assassinated the Kazekage, but they hadn't imagined the culprit was actually a young genius from their own village!

"You evil fellow, go to hell!"

The amount of information received at once was too great, and some Sand Ninjas were so stimulated that they lost their composure and even turned their crossbows around and shot at Scorpion.

Ding Ding Ding!

Although these crossbow arrows were fast and powerful, they were completely useless in front of the sand iron wall controlled by the human puppet and the hard body of the puppet Fei Liuhu. They were all blocked, and only a series of sounds of metal colliding were heard.

Instead, their impulsive attack created a gap in the formation besieging Deidara.

"Everyone calm down, attack this one-armed, yellow-haired guy first, and leave that to Elder Chiyo and the others!"

Maki and other elite jonin had relatively high psychological qualities and reacted quickly to command the crossbow squad to attack Deidara again.

Hadn't the Fourth Kazekage also been assassinated near the village? Ninjas, with their high-risk profession, faced all sorts of challenges. They wouldn't panic even if someone told them the moon would split. Regardless, the priority now was to eliminate the enemy and defend the village.

Although the Sand Ninjas, under the command of the Jonin, re-adjusted their offensive and formed a siege network, it was too late when they reacted. Deidara took advantage of the gap in the attack to throw out several clay birds, blasting a hole in the pursuing sand, and then controlled the clay birds to fly hundreds of meters into the air.

At this point, all the crossbows and hidden weapons lost their effectiveness, and Deidara only had to face Gaara who was chasing him on a flying ball of sand.

"What? So it's the relationship between grandma and grandson. I was really shocked just now. Tsk tsk tsk. The grandson assassinated the Sandaime Kazegakure, and the grandma can still be the elder? The Sand Village is really a mess."

After escaping from the predicament, Deidara looked at Gaara calmly from a distance. During the battle just now, he also heard the shouts of the Sand Ninjas nearby and realized that he was wrong.

"You should worry about yourself first. I will not let you off today for the crime of invading the Sand Village."

Gaara stepped on the sand cloud and rushed towards Deidara with waves of sand. This man's ninjutsu was too dangerous, and he must not be allowed to enter the village territory.

"Hmph, without the advantages of numbers and terrain, do you think you can still restrain me? It's your turn to suffer next!"

Deidara ignored his wounds and tattered clothes. He smiled confidently and reached into his clay storage bag, ready to unleash his power. Then Deidara's face froze, as if he had brought too little clay this time and should have listened to Brother Scorpion before.

After the previous round of siege, only about a quarter of the clay on his body was left, and the task of recovering the tailed beasts had not yet officially begun.

Looking at the surging sand that threatened to intercept his flight path, Deidara couldn't help but let out a wry smile. This Kazekage wasn't as weak as he'd imagined, and the Sand Village's vigilance was completely beyond his expectations. It seemed like things had gotten a little out of hand today.

With a cold look in his eyes, he swung out a two-winged bird and quickly approached Gaara. At the same time, Deidara controlled the clay bird to move like a snake to avoid the pursuit of sand.

Since the reserves are insufficient, let’s fight quickly and decisively!

The two-winged bird was extremely fast. It dodged the sand waves and pounced on Gaara, but was unfortunately blocked by a sand wall that suddenly appeared.

Gaara fixed his gaze on Deidara, manipulating the sand to chase and intercept him, while simultaneously leaping forward. This enemy was too fast for ordinary sand to catch up, so he could only intercept his flight path. The final showdown would depend on the sand in his gourd.

Above the sky, the battle between Gaara and Deidara was in full swing, and in the passage, Elder Chiyo and Sasori were chatting with sparks flying.

"Was it a mistake? I just killed a useless person who was incapable of protecting the Sand Village. Wouldn't it be better to kill him and let the village get a new Kazekage? Turning him into a puppet and letting him retain a little of his shallow power for my use is already his rare value.

This also prevents his body from decaying and becoming as old as you. Eternal art, how wonderful it is.

Scorpion was completely unmoved by the Sand Ninjas' curses and insults, and when he spoke of his own masterpiece, he acted as if it was a matter of course.

"A puppeteer is also a human being, an ordinary ninja. He is not trying to turn himself into a puppet!"

Chiyo's aged body trembled again, her tone filled with grief. The path she had envisioned for her grandson was a village hero, a master who would develop puppetry to new heights, a powerful figure who would dominate the ninja world.

But she didn't expect that Scorpion would develop puppetry to such an inhumane level.

Chiyo closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened them and said solemnly, "It seems like you won't listen to what I say. Then let me teach you a lesson with my puppet!"

As she spoke, Chiyo's old body suddenly straightened up a little. She took out a storage scroll from her arms and summoned two puppets.

"Need I remind you, Chiyo-chan? The Sandaime Kazekage's Iron Sand Secret Technique is the nemesis of puppets. You have no chance of winning against a human puppet like me..."

The familiar faces of the father and mother puppets made Scorpion forget words for a moment, and even the control of the human puppets slowed down a beat.

"attack!"

Deidara was flying high in the sky and couldn't hit him, so Maki and the others could only trust in Gaara's power. While Scorpion and Chiyo were arguing, Maki and the others arranged for the Sand Ninja to change their target and attack Scorpion with a barrage of crossbows, hidden weapons, and detonating talismans.

Scorpion's reaction was extremely fast. Before the attack arrived, he controlled the human puppet to release a sand iron barrier to block the continuous attacks.

"Wind Style. Great Scythe Weasel"

"Wind Style. Wind Cut"

Just as Scorpion was about to control the human puppet to attack again, a violent hurricane with countless invisible vacuum blades swept in his direction. Scorpion controlled the Crimson Amber to burrow into the ground. Thanks to the puppet's hard shell and the Crimson Amber's tail, Scorpion was not harmed.

However, the real target of this storm was not Scorpion himself, but the human puppet of the Third Kazekage.

The powerful wind and vacuum blades temporarily blew the iron sand around the human puppet away. The human puppet itself was also blown back dozens of meters, separating it from the scorpion by a long distance.

"Entangle him and leave Scorpion to Elder Chiyo!"

Maki attacked personally, Temari controlled the three-star fan to continue the attack, and the Sand Ninja's crossbows immediately followed up. For a while, they actually entangled the human puppet of the Third Kazekage and made him farther and farther away from Scorpion.
