Chapter 553: Transaction and Eye

Hearing Sasori's words, Su Xiao's forward steps only paused before continuing.

When the three first arrived in the desert, Su Xiao and Deidara noticed that Sasori was a bit off, and when Sasori saw Chiyo, that kind of 'incongruity' became even more intense.

Su Xiao could be certain that Sasori would die in this cave, although Chiyo and Sakura were far from being Sasori's opponents.

To be precise, Sasori had long since 'died', and the current Sasori was just consciousness surviving.

During the days he spent with Sasori, Su Xiao discovered that Sasori didn't need sleep, didn't need to drink water or replenish food, just occasionally added a special liquid into the 'core'.

Sasori had no pain, no senses, and even lost some emotions. In his view, the body was just a puppet that could be manufactured at any time.

Su Xiao walked slowly toward the outside of the cave. He didn't choose to stay and help Sasori fight, although the two were teammates.

Everyone has different choices. Sasori might have already been tired. Rashly interfering with others' choices is an extremely selfish and conceited performance.

"Stop!"

Sakura blocked Su Xiao's path. It seemed she wasn't prepared to let Su Xiao, this thief, leave easily.

"Sakura."

Chiyo pulled Sakura, signaling her not to stop Su Xiao from leaving. One Sasori was already difficult enough to deal with.

"This time... consider yourselves lucky."

Su Xiao walked out of the cave. Not long after, the sound of battle came from the cave behind.

At this time, Guy's squad was dragged by Pain's sealing technique, Kakashi and Naruto went to chase Deidara, and Sakura and Chiyo were fighting Sasori, which meant Su Xiao had no enemies.

Stretching, Su Xiao didn't prepare to help Deidara. Pain's meaning was already very clear; there was no need to capture the Nine-Tails for the time being, so he didn't need to join in the fun.

Taking Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang into a forest, Su Xiao looked around.

"How is the progress of the matter."

Su Xiao seemed to be talking to the air, but in reality, it wasn't so.

A pitcher plant-like plant grew out of a tree trunk, and both Black and Bai Jue were inside the pitcher plant.

"Already found. What about the reward mentioned beforehand?"

Black Zetsu spoke, and the other half, Bai Jue, had its eyes closed, seemingly having fallen into a dormant state.

Su Xiao took out a test tube from his bosom. Inside the test tube was misty liquid, which seemed to be blood, but this blood was constantly converting between liquid and gaseous states.

This was the bloodstain of the One-Tail Shukaku, which Su Xiao had collected before.

Su Xiao threw the test tube toward Black Zetsu. Black Zetsu caught it, checked it, and nodded after confirming it was correct.

"Although I don't know how you did it, the information can be given to you. There are 397 people of the type you asked me to find, among whom three meet your requirements. One is in the Land of Fire, one is in the Hidden Mist Village, and one is in the Sand Ninja Village."

The pitcher plant where Black Zetsu was located slowly shrank back into the tree trunk.

"By the way, don't say I've been here. We are secretly cooperating."

Black Zetsu left this sentence and disappeared.

"Hidden Mist Village, Sand Ninja Village..."

Su Xiao's expression was thoughtful. He had been to both of these places, and the person he was looking for wouldn't be there, otherwise, the tracking function would have been activated long ago.

"Then only the Land of Fire is left. Hey, where is the specific location?"

"Border of the Land of Fire, near Heaven and Earth Bridge."

Black Zetsu left this sentence and disappeared completely.

"Heaven and Earth Bridge? This guy really knows how to choose a location. He should be eyeing Orochimaru's laboratory."

If Su Xiao hadn't guessed wrong, Sasuke would 'wipe out' Orochimaru in the near future. By then, Orochimaru's laboratory would be wide open.

The person Su Xiao was looking for was the 10001st rule-breaker. Because the Naruto world was too big, Su Xiao could only rely on the power of plot characters.

Now that there were clues, Su Xiao prepared to rush toward that vicinity.

The Akatsuki organization's system was very loose, and members' freedom wouldn't be restricted when there were no missions. This could be seen from the Immortal Duo who were running around the world.

Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rushed on their way without haste. There was still more than a month left until the main mission deadline, and time was very sufficient.

A clay bird swept past the sky rapidly. Su Xiao looked up; wasn't that Deidara.

"This guy is really leisurely, hmm."

Deidara looked at Su Xiao below, not saying anything. Without needing to think, he knew Deidara was 'passing by' here on purpose.

Deidara controlled the clay bird to fly far away. A moment later, two figures rushed out from the forest. It was Naruto, who already had traces of Tailed Beast transformation, and Kakashi.

Naruto's only thought now was to snatch Gaara's corpse from Deidara's hands, while Kakashi was protecting Naruto.

Naruto was a Jinchuriki after all, and added to the conversation between Deidara and Sasori, Kakashi became vigilant.

Crackle.

Wood chips splashed. After Naruto crushed a tree trunk beneath his feet, he rushed toward Deidara like a cannonball.

Kakashi glanced at Su Xiao below. The route didn't look like he was going to fight Su Xiao.

"This guy Deidara."

Su Xiao gripped the scabbard of the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, and the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan instantly unsheathed.

Clang.

A blade glow flew out, cutting off large swaths of branches before flying toward Kakashi. Kakashi's forward-rushing figure stopped, dodging the blade glow sideways in mid-air.

The blade glow disappeared into the horizon, Naruto chased Deidara far away, and Kakashi's expression was very ugly.

Su Xiao danced a blade flower and looked at Kakashi not far away with a full face of smiles.

"If I let you pass just like that, then I won't need to wear this outfit in the future."

It didn't matter if Su Xiao didn't help Deidara and Sasori, but letting the enemy pass by before his eyes was a bit unreasonable. One had to know that Zetsu was still monitoring.

Black Zetsu might not leak the news, but Bai Jue's broken mouth might not be certain.

Kakashi didn't have the slightest intention of fighting Su Xiao at all. He had a secret mission, which was to protect Naruto.

Kicking the ground beneath his feet, Kakashi prepared to chase Naruto, but he stopped after rushing forward a few steps. That three-tomoe Sharingan constricted to the extreme.

An imperceptible sharp silk thread appeared before Kakashi's nose tip. If he continued to rush forward, his head would be severed.

At this time, Kakashi could no longer sense Naruto's aura. Naruto didn't know where he had run to.

"Damn it."

Kakashi's expression was even uglier, looking coldly at Su Xiao.

Kakashi showed great care for his subordinates in the original work, but he was facing an enemy now, and Su Xiao was his enemy.

"It seems I can't pass without solving you."

Kakashi faced Su Xiao.

"This eye of yours is not bad."

Su Xiao didn't know if directly seizing the Sharingan could bring it into Reincarnation Paradise, but it was worth a try. Even if it couldn't be brought into Reincarnation Paradise, someone in the Akatsuki organization would definitely be willing to pay a huge price to obtain this eye.

"Shadow Clone Technique."

Bang, bang, blue smoke surged, and Kakashi turned into three people, three identical Kakashis.

Su Xiao sensed the three Kakashis carefully, not noticing which one was the main body. All three Kakashis had chakra flowing within them.

The three Kakashis rushed toward Su Xiao at the same time, and one of the Kakashis shouted lowly.

"Chidori."

Zzzzz~

Lightning wrapped around one of Kakashi's hands, and the sound seemed like thousands of birds chirping.

According to common sense, the Kakashi using Chidori should be the main body, but is the matter really that simple? Would Kakashi expose himself so easily?

"Earth Release: Headhunter Jutsu."

Two hands stretched out from the ground beneath Su Xiao's feet, intending to grab Su Xiao's ankles. ===== CHAPTER 554 =====
