As dusk approached, with a series of crisp bell sounds, two black figures hidden in the dust gradually became clear.
A gust of wind blew up a corner of the Akatsuki robe, revealing Deidara's tool bag at his leg.
Deidara reached out and opened the tool bag, which did not contain any tools, but was filled with white clay.
The mouth in Deidara's palm opened, a bright red tongue stretched out, and then pressed into the clay.
The Anbu and Jonin who were guarding outside became alert as the strangely shaped two people walked closer.
The guards widened their eyes, looking at the black robes with red clouds and the hats that deliberately concealed their faces.
Wasn't this the group they were just ordered to be wary of?
"Captain Yura, the Akatsuki organization people we were told to watch out for have appeared."
Yura pulled at his collar and lowered his head slightly.
"Ah, I know."
"It won't take too much time."
Then he drew a throwing knife and threw it directly at the person next to him.
The guard who was stabbed by the throwing knife widened his eyes in disbelief, screamed, and fell backwards.
Without Sasori and Deidara having to do anything, Yura had basically killed all the guards around.
Yura was a high-level member of Sunagakure, and was already quite strong. Plus, the other guards had no idea why Yura suddenly turned against them, so they were all caught off guard.
It didn't take long to take care of all the guards outside the gate.
Sasori had previously placed a seal on Yura, which, simply put, sealed Yura's memory, making him a genuine mole within Sunagakure's high ranks without any flaws.
And now that he was back, the seal placed on Yura would naturally be released accordingly.
"Alright! That means Sasori only needs to watch here."
Deidara, full of energy, spat out the clay from his palm, lightly pressed it in his palm, and a white clay bird appeared in his hand.
Deidara casually threw the bird in his hand to the ground, and then the bird, following Deidara's hand gestures, turned into a large giant bird.
Deidara reached out and held his hat, and after a few crisp bell sounds, he steadily landed on the giant bird.
When he saw the overall scale and density of the Sunagakure Village buildings, he basically determined his attack strategy.
With such dense buildings, it wouldn't fit his artistic aesthetics if he didn't bomb them from top to bottom.
"What do you think, Sasori? How's my art?"
Deidara casually took off his hat and turned to look at Hiruko behind him.
"Don't make me wait too long, Deidara."
Sasori didn't bother to judge this kid, gave him a word of advice, and then said nothing more.
Deidara also unhesitatingly flew into the sky on the big bird.
Because the area around Sunagakure Village was mostly open space, even though they had strengthened the surveillance of the upper airspace, Deidara's giant bird could fly to a very high altitude.
Making him less noticeable.
"The wind and sand around here have lessened."
Sasori looked around and said as if whispering.
This kind of environment offered less cover for Deidara's big white bird.
Deidara's left eye wore a miniature camera that could directly capture the surrounding situation.
Riding on the giant bird, Deidara constantly scanned the environment below. Many guards were standing on watchtowers, using telescopes to monitor the surrounding space.
"They can't just keep looking higher up."
The corners of Deidara's mouth turned up in a sly smile, and then the mouth in his palm kept chewing.
It spat out a few tiny spiders that were barely visible and scattered them from high in the sky.
The falling white clay spiders were not eye-catching, they just silently hid on the watchtowers.
The people responsible for monitoring the surrounding situation still focused their attention on the gate.
The area around the gap was silent, with no signs of anyone breaking in, but all this tranquility was a bit eerie.
"Only three people..."
Deidara circled once and flew back.
The orange sun had begun to fall to the other side, and the night began to expand, consuming the surrounding environment.
Sunagakure Village, whose main buildings were constructed of yellow sand, began to fall into a dimness.
Gaara, who had finished his official duties in the Kazekage building, sat in his chair, and wisps of heat rose from the cup of tea on the table.
Gaara's eyes fell on the outside world, a tiny white bird was flying high in the sky not far away.
A bird?
Gaara paused thoughtfully and frowned slightly.
Deidara made a slight hand sign in the high sky, and then all the spiders that had fallen down suddenly grew larger.
The spiders did not hesitate to pounce directly on the ninja responsible for monitoring the high sky.
Six legs firmly clung to the person's face, and the ninja, who was gradually unable to see clearly due to the darkening, became flustered.
Constantly reaching out to pull the spiders off his face.
But unfortunately, before he could take the spiders off, the clay spider let out an explosion, directly blasting their heads into a bloody mess.
"I'm really looking forward to it, the One-Tail Jinchuriki, the Kazekage, just who is he, hmm!"
Deidara revealed a slight excited smile.
The giant bird chased after the fading sunlight and rushed straight towards the Kazekage building in Sunagakure Village.
...
In the underground research lab, no one knew what was happening above ground.
The lights were on all night, and some people even reversed their days and nights without realizing it.
Hatake Satoru enthusiastically raised the corners of his lips, studying the puppet in his hand.
As expected of the skill provided by the system, the things created were quite exquisite.
And the mechanisms were also very clever.
All the puppets that were made would also have different appearances based on the different mechanisms.
It felt like opening a blind box.
Under the brightly lit lights, next to Hatake Satoru's room for researching puppets, there was an unusually empty room.
The room was filled with various kinds of wood and some crude wood carvings.
Yamato inside had a pale blue face, and looked like he wanted to throw up his soul on the spot.
"Ah... I'm tired, why did Satoru-san suddenly get so energetic... Didn't he already stop making them a few days ago?"
Hozuki Mangetsu was quite energetic. He was holding a carving knife and studying how to carve the wood in his hand.
As soon as he saw that Hatake Satoru had such a lifelike puppet-making technique, Hozuki Mangetsu became interested immediately, and started doing wood carvings following his teacher's pace.
"Well! It's hard to figure out what the teacher is thinking."
"But when the teacher didn't need you to make wood stuff a few days ago, didn't you feel lost because you had no purpose?"
