"It's such a hassle to talk so much at once!" Sasori secretly sighed, then said, "The main purpose of storming the Kage Summit is to capture Danzo in front of the Five Great Hidden Villages, and then use him to negotiate with Konoha for the Impure World Reincarnation technique!"
After finishing his explanation, he added, "The reason we must capture him during the Kage Summit rather than ambush him on his way there is because Danzo is so disliked—if we tried a secret deal, Konoha might rush to kill him before we could make our demands!"
After hearing Sasori's explanation, everyone exchanged strange glances.
They couldn't really argue with such a powerful reason. After all, everyone already knew how universally Danzo was hated.
"Impure World Reincarnation?" Yahiko said, "Maybe you don't know this, Sasori, but the souls summoned through Impure World Reincarnation can't exist permanently. What's called 'resurrection' actually only lasts about ten days before the Underworld drags them back!"
Konan added, "The Second Hokage developed Impure World Reincarnation, but because wars often last years, this technique couldn't play a decisive role. That's why he only used it in the most desperate situations!"
"I know," Sasori calmly replied, "Spirits summoned back to this world through Impure World Reincarnation cannot last because the sacrificial vessel dies. So I'll just use a sacrificial offering that cannot die!"
"A sacrificial offering that cannot die?" Ruiga couldn't help but ask, "What does that mean?"
"In this Three-Tails incident, Boss Aizen used Greer Stones to ransom the two of them..." Sasori looked at Ruiga and Kakuzu, then continued, "I imagine you've probably figured it out now—who the biggest winner at Grail Ruin was three years ago!"
"Aizen..." Kisame grinned strangely, asking, "Boss? What kind of funny nickname is that?"
"It's just that Boss Aizen provided the Greer Stones for my research!" Sasori lied casually, "And it's precisely because of these Greer Stones that I've discovered a way to grant life to puppets!"
When he finished speaking, everyone looked incredulous.
"What? Grant life to puppets?"
"How was that even possible?"
Sasori proudly turned his head away, "It's difficult to explain technical details to you! Anyway, if you don't believe me, I can show you the living puppets in person!"
No one doubted him—after all, none of them truly understood technology, and Sasori's puppetry was already the most advanced in the shinobi world. Perhaps he really could accomplish something like this!
Amid the shock, Ruiga's eyes shifted, "If puppets can possess the characteristics of life, doesn't that mean using living puppets as sacrifices could fix the flaws of Impure World Reincarnation?"
Appearing arrogantly indifferent, but actually trying to hide his wandering eyes from Aizen, Sasori loudly declared, "Exactly! That's exactly right!"
When he finished speaking, everyone's thoughts began racing.
For the others, they cared more about what benefits this improved Impure World Reincarnation could bring.
After all, they didn't share such deep obsessions with resurrection.
But for Obito and Black Zetsu, they were deeply shaken!
Obito's eyes widened. "Rin..."
He had considered using [Impure World Reincarnation] to bring Rin back before, but Black Zetsu told him that the souls summoned by this technique could only remain in the human world for about ten days. Repeated summoning might also damage the soul's essence. Thus, he abandoned the idea.
But now, this method suddenly seemed feasible again!
Black Zetsu: Danger! Someone wants to harm him!
Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Sasori continued, "I won't deny that I have my own personal motivations for planning this [Impure World Reincarnation]. I want to bring back two people through this method. Therefore, even if you all don't take action, I'll do it on my own..."
Before he could finish speaking, Obito raised his hand high. "I'm in! I'm in!"
Black Zetsu slightly lowered his head, concealing the viciousness in his eyes. "So it begins!"
"Oh right, Zetsu will also participate!"
A twitch at the corner of Black Zetsu's mouth betrayed his annoyance. Whenever it came to matters concerning Rin, Obito's already limited intelligence would suffer further losses.
Sasori glanced at the two of them before continuing, "During these past three years, I've created four ultimate puppets, each no less powerful than the Third Kazekage puppet. This time, I will deploy them all!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention again.
The Third Kazekage puppet's attributes weren't inferior to the Third Kazekage himself, but being controlled by chakra threads always made it less flexible in battle than fighting by oneself, which made the puppet slightly weaker overall.
Even so, the Third Kazekage puppet's power was undoubtedly extremely formidable!
And now, Sasori was saying he had four puppets that approached the power of a Kage!
"This guy is actually this strong!"
"He created four powerful puppets without making a sound!"
Yalei inwardly groaned. "Is my status going to drop to where I can't even compare with puppets?"
At this moment, Kakuzu suddenly asked, "Your plan sounds good, but there's a fatal flaw—who will deal with the threat of Seiki Shimaseki?"
"Although he has conflicts with Danzo and is unlikely to attend this meeting as one of Danzo's Kage Guards, nor is it likely he has placed a [Flying Thunder God Technique Form] on Danzo, with his abilities, once he learns of this situation, it's entirely possible he'll arrive at the venue in a short time!"
When Kakuzu mentioned Seiki Shimaseki, everyone fell silent.
If that man got involved, it wouldn't matter whether they had four puppets as strong as a Kage or four Kage-rank experts working together—the outcome wouldn't be much different. At best, they could only last a little longer.
"Regarding this, I discussed beforehand with Boss Aizen." Sasori glanced at Aizen and continued only after seeing no objection. "He said he could find someone to help me hold off Seiki Shimaseki for a while."
This news was like a bomb had gone off among the silent group.
"Hold off Seiki Shimaseki? Isn't that practically a suicide mission?"
"Finding someone to help? Is there really such a strong expert in the shinobi world?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Aizen smiled. "It's a friend I met before joining the organization. As for his strength... although he can't compare to Seiki Shimaseki, self-preservation should still be manageable!"
Upon hearing this, the physical bodies of the various members outside involuntarily sucked in a sharp breath.
"Talking about 'ensuring one's own survival' might sound weak, but when we're talking about Seiki Shimaseki, it's a completely different story!
Given Seiki Shimaseki's strength, surviving his attack is already a sign of being a powerful expert. As for protecting oneself from him, even the Kage of the Five Great Hidden Villages couldn't manage that!"
Yahiko asked curiously, "Do you think there's any chance of bringing your friend into the organization?"
Aizen gave a slight shake of his head. "He has no interest in the conflicts of the shinobi world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed out of the spotlight for so many years."
"That's really too bad!" Yahiko sighed.
Still, he could understand.
If it weren't for people like Uncle Aizen, they probably wouldn't have met at all!
