Chapter 76 - Sasori vs Third Kazekage (3/3)

Sasori understood that staying any longer would be disadvantageous.

He decided to quickly kill Satei, take his dead body with him, and leave Sunagakure.

Later, he could easily make a puppet out of his dead body, his masterpiece from the strongest Kazekage.

Just when he started to move, he frowned once again.

He looked around and saw that the Iron Sand World Method Jutsu's net was still around Satei's residence, covering a significant area, making it hard for him to leave.

But that wasn't what truly bothered him.

The reason was that the Iron Net had started to make movements again, means Satei had once more used his chakra to reconnect with his Iron Sand World Method Jutsu.

Satei had understood the need for help once he found himself affected by Sasori's poison smoke bomb.

He still underestimated Sasori at that time, but he decided to remove the Silencing Seal, especially without letting Sasori know.

Sasori didn't expect, nor did he believe, that Satei had used Genjutsu on him, but he had.

Understanding his situation, Satei knew he couldn't use any Genjutsu effectively, so he focused on one thing—

Using Genjutsu under the cover of the Iron Sand World Method Jutsu just to affect Sasori's sensing and keep him unaware.

Sasori himself had lowered his guard a little once he saw that Satei was affected by his poison, leading him to underestimate the Third Kazekage.

Sasori scowled and once again moved Reeku's puppet to use Lightning Release Ninjutsu.

"LIGHTNING RELEASE: ELECTROMAGNETIC MURDER!"

Swish!

But he was too late this time.

The piercing sharp iron branches of the Iron Sand Net, with blinding speed, moved towards Reeku's puppet, destroying it instantly.

Satei's Iron Sand net was more solid than any Earth Release Jutsu and would not vanish easily like other Nature Transformations, even if Satei lost chakra connection with it.

Sasori's expression turned grim as he roared, "Are you trying to kill me with you!"

Satei's eyes, slightly dim but full of anger and determination, uttered, "If I... am going to die... I'll take you with me..."

Saying this, Satei clenched the fist of his remaining arm and poured all his remaining chakra and strength into the Iron Sand.

Satei understood that he couldn't be saved now.

Even if others noticed his Iron Sand World Method Net and heard the impending explosions, he would still die.

So, he decided to kill this psychopathic Sasori along with himself.

Satei roared as he used all his remaining strength in the Iron Sand net, making all these sharp piercing spears branches shoot at blinding speed, covering the entire area of his house.

Sasori cursed, "DAMN IT!"

He quickly had all his puppets surround him, using them as a shield.

He didn't have time to even use any Jutsu against these sharp piercing iron projectiles shooting at him with lightning speed.

Swish!

Swish!

Crack!

BOOM!

Iron spears pierced Sasori through his puppets.

Despite using them as a shield, he was still struck by many iron spears.

"AARRRGGGGHHHHH..." Sasori yelled in pain, as iron spears destroyed his puppet protection and pierced his whole body, his chest, his arm, his legs.

A huge explosion occurred in Satei's residence as the entire net of Iron Sand World Method Jutsu engulfed and collapsed over Satei's house.

The whole village heard it and was startled as they noticed a huge dust cloud rising from where Satei's house stood.

...

At the Genin Corps Department, in his room, Kaiji, who was about to sleep after practicing Mystic Palm Jutsu, was also startled by the sudden explosion.

He pondered, 'What happened suddenly? It can't possibly be because of Sasori, right?'

He then shook his head and thought, 'No, that can't be. Wasn't Sasori supposed to kill the Third Kazekage silently in canon? This definitely can't be related to him.'

He quickly went out to see what had happened and found that others were also startled by it and going outside to find out.

All the Genin from the department, and even Ryota and Isamu, came out.

One Genin asked, "I-is that giant monster out again?"

Isamu's eyes widened.

He stammered a little and said, "T-that's from Kazekage-sama's residence area!"

Everyone went completely silent for a moment.

Ryota also stammer and said, "Y-yeah, it's indeed the case!"

Kaiji looked at Isamu in disbelief and thought, 'Is that really something to do with Sasori? But wasn't that supposed to be a silent attack!'

Kaiji was stunned to the point he was looking ahead in confusion, ignoring any sounds around him.

Hiroshi walked toward him and shook him slightly, saying, "Hey, Kaiji, didn't you hear what Ryota-san said..."

Kaiji snapped out of his confusion and asked, "What?"

Hiroshi said, "Ryota-san said we Genin should all go back to our rooms and not come out unless told to do so."

Kaiji was surprised and asked, "But shouldn't we go and evacuate the civilians, and help somehow?"

Hiroshi shrugged and said, "I don't know, but that's what we were ordered. Though senior Genin were indeed sent to help evacuate civilians."

...

A few minutes before the explosion from Satei's Iron Sand World Method Jutsu's Net, Yūta, who wasn't present at Satei's residence but at the Kazekage's office, was sorting out some documents that Satei had told him to.

Once he was done, he moved back towards Satei's place, doing his duty as Satei's personal and direct guard, flickering instantly with Body Flicker Technique.

But he stopped once he saw the giant Iron Net around Satei's place.

Yūta frowned and exclaimed, "Why is Sensei using Magnet Release? Did someone attack him suddenly?"

He couldn't know the answer and quickly made a Shadow Clone, sending it to inform the elders and Anbu immediately.

He himself went towards the Third Kazekage, but just when he was about to reach, the Iron Net engulfed the whole place, and a huge explosion occurred.

Yūta's face paled as he stuttered, "S-Sensei..."

Swiftly, many Anbu flickered and landed behind Yūta, who stood many meters away from Satei's place.

Elder Chiyo and Ebizō also came, and Chiyo asked, "What happened Yūta? Was the Kazekage attacked by someone?"

Her expressions were grim, as were everyone's.

Ebizō ordered the Anbu, "Quickly go and evacuate civilians immediately."

They don't know the full situation, but evacuation of civilians is indeed a priority.

Yūta shook his head and said, "I don't know. I was sent to the office by Sensei to put a few documents there, and..."

He paused a little before continuing, "And when I came back, I saw Sensei's Magnet Release, Iron Sand World Method Jutsu's Net surrounding his own place."

Chiyo murmured, "Then he was indeed attacked by someone. Otherwise, he wouldn't use this double-suicidal attack!"

She mused with grim expressions, 'But who could attack him in middle of night? Is it related to some other nations?'

...

Within the explosion, Sasori's bloody figure barely visible from the broken puppets around him.

Countless Iron Spears pierced every part of his body, from head to toe.

His eyes light dimmed, as he was just one step away from his death, glaring at Satei, whose figure was also similar to his.

But Satei had died even before any Iron Spears touched him, from over-extracting his Chakra and strength, and also because of poison.

Sasori hardly muttered, "D... a... m... n... i... t..."

His voice was barely audible as his eyes completely dimmed, and he died, covered in blood and dust, his whole body struck by Iron Spears of Magnet Release Iron Sand.

Hello guys, from now on I wanted to make a proper schedule for chapter release, and for now I decided it to be on every Sunday from next week. Though I will try to keep it atleast "3" chapters but it can sometimes be less like 1 or 2 and sometimes even more like 4 or 5, that all depends on how many I would be able to write.

After reading few comments, one even tell me how "Outsiders resolve" has a proper schedule of uploading all chapters in same day which I find better and my own thinking, I thought of following this schedule from now on, uploading chapters on Sunday's only.

But it's still not properly decided, so if any of you have any proper ideas for a proper schedule of uploading chapters than please say so, as I just make this decision yesterday, not long ago, so it's not final.

And now to spoke about this story, as you all might have guessed that Third Ninja War arc will start within next few chapters from now, and those who might still feels that MC is weak... Um, they are right he is but that's not the point, as I actually initially thought of most of his strength and power-up gains happens during this whole arc.

As this alone can be said to go from atleast 3-5 years, even in anime, but it's just my calculation based on Minato's age, that said to around 19-20 when he became Jōnin of Kakashi's team, and dead around 24 of age, so my calculation can be wrong but I decided it to be around 3-5 years of duration of Third Great Ninja War arc.

Plus Sunagakure ain't going to officially join War early on, but just some skirmishes against borders, unless Rasa become Kazekage and decided to officially join and this will also give some time for MC and even later on MC will grow stronger but slowly and steadily. That's all I would like to say, and thanks for reading!
