Chapter 345: The End of Sasori of the Red Sand

Sasori flew into the sky and quickly assessed their respective combat strengths. He prepared for another round.

As the mechanism behind him activated, the chakra stored in the second scroll was injected into the human puppet body. He raised his left hand again.

As if wanting to take her down with him, ignoring the wood dragon rushing towards him, Sasori spewed a jet of highly toxic water with a pungent smell towards Ino.

This was the second scroll on his back, storing the Water Release ninjutsu and deadly poison, "Corrosive Acid Flow."

The wood dragon raised its head, trying to help defend against the water jet.

The Third Kazekage gathered a large amount of iron sand again and, as the wood dragon raised its head, created a huge iron cage that descended from the sky, clamping down on the wood dragon's neck with a "crack."

The price was being slapped by the wood dragon's claw. The human puppet's body was covered in cracks, and a large number of fragments fell off its torso, revealing the internal mechanisms. This human puppet was on the verge of being scrapped.

The poison water Sasori spat out was highly corrosive. The plants, trees, and buildings along the way were corroded with holes of all sizes.

Ino was also very wary of the poison water. She quickly sank into the Wood Human's body. The fact that the Wood Human couldn't move was a huge flaw, but its defense was extremely strong. At this moment, the Wood Human's palm stood up, ignoring the corrosive poison in the "Corrosive Acid Flow," and the giant hand grabbed a large mass of poison water, throwing it back at the Third Kazekage human puppet.

Sasori had a bit of a headache. The Magnet Release chakra in the human puppet was about to run out, and the pre-prepared iron sand was almost gone. Facing the poison water he had created himself, his fingers twitched continuously. The Third Kazekage's human puppet dodged the poison water at the last second, at the cost of having more than ten large holes corroded in its body; more than half of its body was scrapped.

Facing the combination of the Wood Human and the Wood Dragon, even with his supreme control skills, he was now completely at a disadvantage.

After escaping from the Sand Village, he hadn't encountered such a difficult opponent for many years.

Ino's side was fighting more and more smoothly; he was not.

A human puppet was, after all, not a living person. Its internal chakra was limited, and the recovery speed of a human puppet's chakra was far slower than its consumption speed.

The Third Kazekage's chakra was almost depleted. Now, there was no hope of taking down Ino.

He prided himself as an artist and had no desire to fight to the death. He was about to retreat, but at this moment, Ino didn't want to let him go.

The Wood Dragon attacked, and the Wood Human defended. As Sasori activated the third scroll behind him and released the now less than a hundred human puppets, which could only be called the "Performance of Half a Hundred Puppets," Ino launched a big move.

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Bloom!"

A sea of flowers larger than the one that had enveloped Konoha appeared. Light yellow pollen danced with the wind, soon covering the Sand Village, with their battlefield being the hardest-hit area.

The vibrant petals looked extremely tempting, but the pollen had a paralyzing property. After entering the respiratory tract, one would faint in a minute. Kabuto, who was watching the battle from a distance, quickly covered his mouth and nose and ran away. The ninjas of the Sand Village, including Elder Kōsa, also retreated with their subordinates.

Sasori also wanted to retreat.

His fleshlight was not afraid of pollen. Let alone this little bit of pollen, even a few more tons wouldn't scare it. But there was too much pollen, falling like snow, severely affecting his chakra threads' control over the puppets. If a puppeteer couldn't control their puppets, what was the point of fighting!

Seeing his "micromanagement" becoming sluggish and his many red-robed human puppets being tightly wrapped by pollen, Sasori, without a second word, cut the chakra threads to all the "Performance of a Hundred Puppets" puppets. At the same time, he used the last scroll behind him, the fourth scroll, to mobilize the Earth Release chakra within it, preparing to escape underground.

When deciding whether to abandon the Third Kazekage human puppet, he clearly hesitated for a moment.

This was his strongest collectible and also the most valuable human puppet. Without this thing, Ino would have killed him ten minutes ago.

He quickly made up his mind. Forget it! My own life is clearly more important.

Sasori gave up on the Third Kazekage human puppet and prepared to use this powerful human puppet to buy time for himself to use Earth Release.

He was very decisive, but as he was cutting the chakra threads, a shocking and unscientific scene occurred.

He saw the Third Kazekage's human puppet cover the chakra threads with the little remaining iron sand. With a flick of Sasori's finger, not only did he fail to cut the chakra threads, but the fine iron sand entered his own body along the threads. The nearly scrapped human puppet slowly turned its head at this moment and looked at Sasori with its lifeless eyes.

Hatred! Anger! Loathing!

The Third Kazekage, who had been dead for many years, seemed to come alive at this moment. He tightly grasped the chakra threads, staring at this genius puppeteer whom he had once valued the most.

"This is not scientific at all," Sasori said calmly.

"But it's very metaphysical, isn't it?" Ino's voice followed.

With a loud "boom," the wood dragon roared and arrived. He had only used half of his Earth Release before his chakra was interfered with by the Third Kazekage human puppet's iron sand. Sasori stood where he was, with no power to fight back.

He raised his head and watched as the wood dragon bit off his four limbs and half of his body. The last half of his body and his head were delivered into the Wood Human's right hand. In the final moment of his life, he glanced at the Third Kazekage human puppet, which had lost all its luster. The Wood Human's palm clenched, and with its immense power, it crushed Sasori to death!

The Wood Human opened its palm. The fragments of the human puppet turned into dust and flew in all directions. Sasori's regeneration core was also crushed into minced meat by the Wood Human's immense force, marking the end of everything that was Sasori.

Ino looked to her right, where a humanoid phantom stood.

It was the soul of the Third Kazekage, which she had awakened with the Summoning Jutsu during the battle.

Even after being modified into a puppet, the core of that human puppet was still his body, his Magnet Release chakra.

A soul could slightly influence a human puppet.

Sasori trusted his science too much. Because he had given up too many human organs, his sensory perception was zero. Even when Ino blatantly summoned a soul, he couldn't see it.

Ino hadn't used this trump card until Sasori was about to escape. The soul of the Third Kazekage immediately controlled the residual Magnet Release chakra in his body and, in coordination, killed the genius puppeteer.

"Senior, I have done what I promised you. You can rest in peace now."

"Thank you."

This was a personal grudge. The Third Kazekage, like the Second Mizukage back then, didn't want to waste words with Ino, a Konoha ninja. With his great revenge fulfilled, his wish was granted, and his soul turned into light smoke and returned to the Pure Land.

Ino had originally wanted to keep some of Sasori's body parts to exchange for money at the bounty station, but after thinking about it, she realized it wouldn't work.

This kind of bounty was different from an ordinary commission bounty. It involved too much money. The client wouldn't hand over hundreds of millions to the bounty station at once. Who would issue a bounty on Sasori? Most likely the Sand Village. Looking at the ghostly state of the Sand Village now, how could they have the money to pay the final payment?
