As Cao Zhi raised his sword, ready to break through the encirclement, Xie slowly rose to his feet.

"Hey, you're not planning to just fight your way out like this, are you?"

"Um, is that not allowed?"

Cao Zhi looked at the other person with some confusion, while Xie remained silent for a moment before raising his head.

"Perhaps I have a better way!"

With Sasori's hands behind his back, several puppets instantly rushed out from the underground high-rise protected by elite Sand Ninja not far away as the other party tightened their grip.

Shaped like an earthworm, it directly traps each high-rise building inside.

"I'm sorry, Grandma, the only thing I can do is kill these troublesome high-ranking officials!"

The earthworm puppet rapidly expanded and then exploded violently. Some of the Sand Ninja present were stunned by the sudden attack, while Sasori and Kusanagi had disappeared without a trace.

Chiyo watched the two disappear underground before finally relaxing her clenched fist. As the acting shadow, her actions were wrong, but as Sasori's grandmother, she was right.

At least Chiyo could see that Sasori's actions not only helped her eliminate a group of political enemies, but also saved the lives of most of the Sand Ninja. After all, that swordsman she couldn't see through was definitely not someone to be trifled with!

Half an hour later, on a hill five kilometers from Sunagakure, a snake-like puppet suddenly emerged from the bottom.

The snake's head slowly opened, revealing two people huddled together.

Cao Zhi quickly jumped out of the puppet and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Actually, I could choose to fight my way out..."

Scorpion retrieved the puppet with a blank expression, his tone indifferent.

"Enough with the chit-chat. Most of my treasured works are gone. Leaving during this chaos is the best option!"

Cao Zhi did not refute the other party's point of view. He could see that Scorpion's actions were definitely a sign of holding back. Otherwise, with the remaining puppets of the other party, although they were all functional and auxiliary puppets, their destructive power was still considerable!

After leaving the territory of the Land of Wind, on their way back, Kusa and Scorpion explained the significance of the establishment of the "Sin" organization. After a passionate speech, they received a single sentence from Scorpion.

"No interest, I won't join. Once we leave the Land of Wind, we'll go our separate ways..."

Cao Zhi looked displeased and stared in surprise at the other person's handsome profile.

"No way, they're kicking us away so fast?"

Sasori, with a calm expression, suddenly waved his hand at Kusanagi, sending chakra threads toward Kusanagi's vital points, but to no avail.

Cao Zhi smiled with a gloomy face, tilting his head.

"What, now that you've fixed your toys, you're thinking of abandoning them?"

Scorpion distanced himself from Kusanagi, raised his hands, and the puppet of the Third Kazekage appeared beside him.

"Either we part ways peacefully now, or I'll kill you right now!"

Cao Zhi looked disdainful, while inwardly complaining that these rogue ninjas were ruthless and had no bottom line, even wanting to kill their benefactor!

The Third Kazekage spat out clumps of iron sand, which gradually formed cones of various shapes in front of Sasori.

"Final warning, leave!"

Cao Zhi reached out and placed the long sword behind her back in front of her.

"No way, no way, can anyone really think that a Kazekage who couldn't even beat me in life can just become a puppet after death?"

Scorpion remained calm as he directly manipulated the Third Kazekage, unleashing a barrage of iron spikes at Kusanagi. This stirred up a great deal of sand and created countless sand pits on the ground.

Suddenly, the grass, which was moving at high speed, stopped and slowed down.

Seeing this, Scorpion revealed a satisfied expression, his eyes burning with desire.

"It seems my poison has worked. Prepare to become my most exquisite masterpiece!"

In mid-air, a huge iron cone rapidly formed and then stabbed at Cao Zhi, who was clutching his chest and had a livid face.

"Go to hell, you monster!"

With a loud bang, the sand suddenly sank a bit, and when the sandstorm subsided, there was no sign of the grass at the bottom of the pit.

Upon seeing this, the scorpion quickly used iron sand to form an iron wall surrounding itself.

Then, a familiar voice came from beside me.

"You're not very obedient, so I think you should be punished!"

Having only completed a small part of his body modification, Sasori experienced pain for the first time in a long time. The Third Kazekage's puppet was confiscated by the opponent, and his handsome face was swollen so much that his eyes were almost invisible.

Even his speech is affected by a lisp because his front teeth were knocked out.

"What are you trying to do by lying on the ground like this...?"

Cao Zhi cracked his knuckles with a delighted expression.

"Based on your performance, we were originally planning to make you an intern for the organization, but now it seems..."

"You should work as a slave for a few years first to pay off your debts!"

Sasori was then taken by Kusagakure to the Land of Rain, where there was an assembly line factory built with the help of Kusagakure.

Sasori was forced to become a technician, responsible for improving the factory's machines. What made him willingly stay, besides the promise to return the Kazekage puppet in three years, was mainly because of the female puppet that the other party showed him.

A puppet that truly possesses life. Just thinking about what Cao Zhi said, if I perform well within three years, this puppet will be handed over to him for research!

Scorpion's heart was filled with anticipation; he felt he had found true art...

Watching Cao Zhi's departing figure, Xie continued twisting the screw with his hand, muttering to himself.

"What is it about this terrifying guy that he can't do..."

Half a day later, Cao Zhi returned to the village and was sitting at his desk dealing with a backlog of government affairs. After a while, he lay back in his chair, looking exhausted, and said to a graceful figure.

"Oriana, could you pour me a glass of hot water?"

The female puppet, whose entire body was made of clockwork and gears, had an extraordinary brass sphere beside her. Upon hearing Cao Zhi's voice, her eyes suddenly lit up with blue light.

"The puppet understands..."
