Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 118 Scorpion's Revenge

"They're my enemies, aren't they?"

As a skilled ninja, Sakumo quickly figured out who was looking for him.

"The only people outside the village who would deliberately come looking for me are those who have a grudge against me."

"You guessed right. So why don't you guess again, which of your enemies is coming to cause you trouble?"

However, when faced with this question, Sakumo shook his head.

"I have too many enemies: the friends and family of the opponents I killed, those who clashed with me during missions—everyone could come looking for revenge."

It's impossible for me to remember all their names, and for me, there's no need to know their names.

All I need to do is kill them when they come to kill me.

"Is that so? As expected of you, Sakumo. As expected of Konoha's White Fang, you are calm and decisive enough."

"Calm and decisive?"

Sakumo shook his head and picked up his teacup.

"By the way, aren't you worried about Konoha? Your son Kakashi is still in Konoha."

"It's alright, I believe Kakashi will be fine. He's an excellent and reliable ninja."

Upon hearing Kakashi's name, Sakumo Hatake, who had been looking hesitant, finally showed a slight smile.

But what he said at the end left Tetsuya somewhat bewildered.

"No, what kind of thinking is that, Sakumo? Kakashi is very outstanding, but that doesn't mean he can lack fatherly love."

Moreover, he lacked maternal love from a young age.

As he spoke, Tetsuya slapped his thigh.

"I understand."

"What do you understand?"

Tetsuya rolled his eyes at Sakumo Hatake.

"Now I understand why Kakashi has been so outstanding since he was a child. This kid grew up without a mother and was stuck with a father like you who always talks about the village and missions. If he wasn't outstanding, he probably wouldn't have survived."

"Oh, this..."

"Don't rush to refute me, I just want to ask you something."

Tetsuya looked at Sakumo and asked.

"Isn't Kakashi a very sensible child since he was little, but actually not that close to you? He keeps everything to himself and doesn't communicate with you, his father?"

"Well, that's true, but that doesn't mean Kakashi and I aren't close. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with Kakashi's mind."

"If you're still arguing with me, let me show you just how twisted the personality can become when a child lacks parental love from a young age."

Outside the capital of the Grass Kingdom, on a vast grassland, a gust of wind swept across, instantly creating a green wave.

A boy wearing a yellow-brown vest and with striking red hair walked from a distance.

Waiting for him on the grassland was Sakumo Hatake.

Sakumo Hatake sized up Scorpion.

"So you're the one looking for me?"

When Sasori saw the white-haired Konoha ninja standing in front of him, his hands trembled uncontrollably with excitement.

"I've finally met you, Konoha's White Fang!"

"Do I know you? Who are you, making such a big fuss about where I am?"

"Heh, Sakumo Hatake, don't you remember anything when you see my red hair?"

Sakumo Hatake shook his head.

"No, although red hair is rare, it's not unheard of in this ninja world. I've killed at least dozens, if not a hundred, of red-haired people. I don't know who you are."

Seeing that Sakumo Hatake didn't recognize him, Sasori became even more agitated.

"Damn it, you don't even recognize me, let alone this head of red hair! I'm going to kill you to avenge my parents."

"Then let's go. Although you are still very young, among ninjas, once you have confirmed that the other is your enemy, all other external factors are unimportant."

As he spoke, Hatake Sakumo drew the White Fang ninja sword that was slung behind his back.

"Then let me show you my masterpiece."

Scorpion took out a sealing scroll, unfurled it, and the seal was broken.

"Bang!"

A blue puppet appeared in front of Sasori. With a flick of his wrists, blue chakra threads connected to the puppet's body.

"The blue-haired one, that's the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure!"

"That's right, it's this guy who started the war and destroyed everything. I killed him and turned him into my human puppet. Since he likes war so much, I'll make him my eternal weapon of war."

As he spoke, Sasori's expression twisted, and he pointed at Sakumo Hatake and roared.

"You're next! After I defeat you, I'll transform you into a human puppet while you're still alive, and make you experience all the pain of that transformation process."

Finally, I will use you two puppets to destroy Konoha and Sunagakure!

Killing the two culprits he believed were not enough. Sasori thought that Sunagakure and Konoha were the root of all the trouble. If he wanted revenge, he should do it thoroughly and completely destroy those two villages.

"I will make the two of you my sharpest double blades!"

"Shh-!"

While Sasori was still giving his remarks, Sakumo Hatake had already unleashed a sword strike.

Chakra is infused into the White Fang, a blade forged using a special method, enabling it to unleash flying slashes that resemble the outward projection of sword energy.

The sharp sword energy slashed directly at the hands of the puppet that Scorpion was controlling.

"Damn it, you attacked me from behind! Magnet Release: Iron Sand Defense!"

Sasori flicked the chakra threads in his hand, and the Third Kazekage puppet immediately opened its mouth, spitting out a large amount of black iron sand. Under the effect of Magnet Release, the iron sand instantly formed an iron wall in front of Sasori.

White Fang's slash landed on the iron wall, tearing a crack before disappearing. The gap was quickly filled by other iron sand.

"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Rain!"

Scorpion manipulated the puppet again, and the puppet's arm swung.

The iron sand originally used for defense instantly transformed into countless iron needles, which shot out like a torrential rain towards Hatake Sakumo.

Faced with such a dense attack, Sakumo Hatake did not retreat but advanced, suddenly pushing off with both feet and launching himself forward.

"What?!"

In Sasori's eyes, the charging Konoha White Fang's figure became illusory, as if multiple Konoha White Fangs were overlapping each other.

He understood that this guy was moving and dodging at high speed to avoid his attacks, while also wielding his White Fang Ninja Blade to block some of the iron needles.

"Hatake-ryu swordsmanship, White Fang Flash!"

In the blink of an eye, Hatake Sakumo had already rushed in front of Sasori. With a slash of his ninja sword, a silver-white arc of light was drawn in the air, like white fangs, as he lunged at Sasori.
