Naruto Shadow King Ch 170 : Sasori Vs Haku Vs Suigetsu [1]
🕑 Added 2025-01-07 06:42:10 +0000 UTC*Clap Clap Clap...
Sounds of claps came after the dazzling performance of the trio. Shika for once wasn't expecting that, he did it for purely comedic purposes, just one of the strange desires he wanted to complete but there was someone who liked it?
Sasori was in a daze, not sure how to react to what just happened in front of him, he had seen many strange and weird things in his life but this was completely beyond everything, but what surprised him even more was the claps his partner was ditching out right now.
"What are you doing ?" He asked to the clapping Deidara who could be seen with tears training down of his lone eye.
"This, Sasori don't you get it. This is art." Deidara didn't care about the strange look his partner was giving he just turned to him and praised what he saw.
"What ?" Sasori knew his partner was lose up there but this was taking things to dangerous zones.
"That explosion, how it was perfectly planned to appear at the end of the entrance to give the fabulous touch to their otherwise ridiculous entrance, didn't you see it, the space between them and the explosion, the sound and the timing everything was on point, I have never seen anything like this, this is the art I have been looking for all this time," Deidara swore and gushed about the explosion like the Pyromaniac he was.
'O-okay, still beyond dangerous zone. As long as it's just about explosions then I might tolerate this guy for a little while longer.' Sasori rolled his eyes, this was the reason why the leader put them together, becuase they understood each other well.
Neither liked the other description of art and ideology but they understood one word that both agree upon. The eternal beauty of art.
While the two artists were talking among themselves, absorbing what they just saw, Haku had his head down, right now he just wanted to get buried six feet under due to the embarrassment he was feeling.
"I shouldn't have agreed to this..." He muttered with an expression on his face like he was wronged, which technically he was, Shika intentionally gave him the last Meowth role just becuase his voice is also like a girl's and even changed the last part from 'Meowth to Meow'.
He was very much wronged here.
"What are you talking about, that was great, I felt like the world was ending and we were on a mission to save it, that was great. How did you come up with those lines ?" Suigetsu, always being completely opposite of Haku, genuinely likes Team Rocket's motto.
"Oh no, I can't take the credit for this one, I just happen to admire the great work and inspire by it. As for the world-saving part, my friend we are doing just that." Shika and Suigetsu just gushed to their heart's content, their inner Otaku coming to life.
"I shouldn't have come here..." Haku was still feeling dejected though.
"Enough, who are you all and what you want." After the comedic phase passed, finally Sasori asked this question.
"Ah...Ahem, well we are here to fight you of course." Shika quickly got back to his composure and replied.
"Why ?"
"Huh ?"
"Why you wanna fight us ?"
"Hmm well,...hmmm
Be...because I have heard that you both are artists. I want to see how powerful your art is." Shika was taken aback by that question but quickly came up with a silly reason.
"Good, then a fight it is," Deidara grinned and upon getting a look from Sasori, he just winked at him. Like telling just to go along.
He didn't want to go to the Land Of Wind this early anyway, it was boring and there were not many things to blow for his art either, nothing but only sand. At least they can have some fun before they go there right...
Sighing, Sasori just accepted the fact, though they could just get out of there and those idiots wouldn't be able to catch them but a little fun while killing this idiot wouldn't be bad.
He too wasn't looking forward to going to the Land Of Wind, his home, anytime soon.
---
Once it was final that they gonna fight, Deidara just followed Shika out of there, Shika easily lured him out with just a few words about how he was the one who set up the explosion.
"Two against one..." Sasori said, though he wasn't complaining just voicing out his thoughts. He can handle an entire army by himself with his poison and puppets, a slight advantage of numbers on the other side was nothing to him.
He can fight both the masked man, named King and Ice respectively.
All members of Yuguure hid their identity and were assigned code names. Though it was more like Shika told them to choose one for themselves.
Shika's was of course Shadow.
Sasuke's was Avenger.
Guren's was Crystal.
Kimimaro's chose bones for him.
Jugo's was Hermit.
Haku's was Snow which later Shika changed to Ice becuase that resembles his dead dog.
All the names somewhat represented their powers or personality. But there were two who chose ridiculous names for themselves.
Suigetsu chose and I kid you not, 'Water Sword King Of The Mist' and Karin chose the Red Storm Queen Of Uzu.
Sigh...
Later Shika shorted their name and only took King and Queen to identify them...
He told them to identify themselves in these code names if they were representing Yuguure to others.
And since that is what they were doing, they were using code names here.
"If you wish, we can come one by one to fight you ?" the man who called himself king said.
"No need, it won't be fun anymore if it ends that fast, maybe if together you both will last slightly longer."
Big words for someone who lost to Saskura but both Suigetsu and Haku didn't care they just accepted the fight.
Both rushed at him at the same time. Sasori too didn't delay, he too attacked before they came near him, actually, that wasn't him to be exact, he was inside a puppet.
Opening the mouth of the puppet he launches multiple senbons toward the masked duo which they easily dodge and close the can.
Haku while running formed hand signs, his hand sign formation speed had increased even further in the last year's training, within seconds he was done making hand signs for the justu he wanted to use and launched multiple ice shards towards Sasori which he dodged and launch poison gas when both got close enough.
Here too, Shika got all the information on Sasori, he didn't skip Sasori's fight just becuase he was written a stepping stone for Sakura, he in fact liked that fight which he had with both Sakura and Chiyo, in fact, it was one of the only good fight related to puppets in the entire series.
So, Shika knew what to look out for when fighting against Sasori, and he of course made sure both Suigetsu and Haku knew that too.
Sasori was primarily a puppet user who used many different sorts of creative weapons, poisons and even a little bit of fuinjutsu in his fighting. Knowing this both Haku and Suigetsu come up with a plan to handle the guy.
As soon as Sasori threw the poison gas towards them, haku formed hand sign and used wind style justu to blow away the posion. Due to his ice release Kekkei Genkai, Haku can use both Water and Wind release chakra as Ice form with the combination of both water and Ice chakra.
However, it was a different question that he hadn't learned any jutsu about wind before, which Shika resolved in the one-year training time.
Suigetsu seeing his chance quickly closed the gap and engaged in hand-to-hand fighting with Sasori. Knowing that the old hunch-back-looking guy was actually a puppet, Suigetsu didn't target any vitals and fall for any obvious pit holes.
He rather focuses on destroying the puppets one by one so the real Sasori finally comes out. He might not have a famous sword for himself but he was a good swordsman and while training with Shika both have improved their swordsmanship.
Methodically he started to cut down the puppet in front of him until the real Sasori came out.
Sasori too felt that it was time seeing his hunch-back puppet nearly completely cut down and come down.
But as soon as he did that, he saw mist gathering around the area. This was Haku's doing, he was preparing for the justu while Suigetsu dealing with Sasori in close combat.
"Hidden Mist Jutsu." Sasori recognized the jutsu in just one glance and looked at both the Shinobi before the mist covered everything, earlier he couldn't figure it out but by now he could say that these guys were from the Hidden Mist.
One was capable of using Ice release and another was good at sword. There was no doubt about it.
Now he had to fight without his vision. He wasn't nervous, he could do it even now. But this was getting slightly interesting.
So with that, he didn't plan to hold back anymore, since the opponent was going all out then he too would reveal some of his cards.
With that said, he took out a scroll and from it came a puppet, this puppet though was special as this was the puppet of the third Kazekage himself.
---
While on one side the fight has already been started. Deidara found himself still following the masked man as he didn't plan to stop any time soon.
"OI, what are you doing, how much further are you planning on taking me. What the point of asking for a fight if you planned to use a trap to attack me in the first place...,' he sounded annoyed, they had already covered a long distance, so what the point of moving even farther.
"If it was someone else then I wouldn't have bothered but since you are a master of Explosion style, I rather not have my teammates get caught up in our fight.
Just a little further, I can assure you that this is not a trap, if you don't believe me and if you are afraid then you can of course stop..." Shika replied calmly.
Though how he saw himself outwardly, he wasn't that calm internally. He knew how destructive this guy could be if push came to shove so he needed to take him away as much as possible.
Deidara just huffed at this and silently followed. He and his art wasn't afraid of anything...
