Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 334: Choji's Troubles

They've gone crazy? Sasori was interested in crazy people!

He signaled to Kabuto. Go, grab two of them. Let's dissect them and study them.

Kabuto Yakushi was not a normal person. If he couldn't be Orochimaru's assistant, then being Sasori's assistant was also fine. The two hit it off immediately. Fifteen minutes later, several "crazy people" were lying on the operating table.

Those with good physical constitution were made into human puppets. Those with average physical constitution had some parts selected to be used as "spare parts."

Kabuto Yakushi had obtained a lot of knowledge about "the flesh is weak, the machine is divine" from a certain someone. At this time, he poured it all out to Sasori.

At first, he didn't pay attention. As he listened, Sasori felt that he had opened the door to a new world.

So it can be like this? Why didn't you say so earlier! Quick, prepare experimental subjects for me! My great axe is already thirsty!

The two began to conduct so-called scientific discussions using the corpses of Sand Village ninjas.

Machines indeed couldn't conduct chakra, but they could make his human puppets stronger, more artistic.

Thinking of Deidara's giant clay bird, Sasori wondered if he could create a flying puppet.

Flying puppets, giant puppets, invisible puppets, ultra-long-range attack puppets—through his conversations with Kabuto, he generated a large number of fantastic ideas. For a moment, he felt that his already dried-up inspiration had suddenly surged, and he couldn't stop it.

Originally, he was planning to investigate and then report to Akatsuki about the Sand Village. But now, his mind was full of puppet research. What's Akatsuki? My own business comes first. I'll report in a few days.

That's what he thought, and that's what he did.

With Yūra's help, they captured ten Sand Village ninjas today, and twenty tomorrow. They had no idea what restraint meant, and their actions were extremely unscrupulous. In the end, the ninjas controlled by Yūra were directly kicking down doors to capture people. The entire Sand Village was shrouded in an unknown fear.

"Ino, Shikamaru, I'm exhausted… I really can't walk anymore." Choji sighed, his face covered in sweat, his two fat hands hanging by his sides, looking extremely listless.

Ino put her hand to her forehead as a visor. Looking at the sea of sand in front of her also gave her a headache.

Their motives as mediators were not pure; their intention was more to fan the flames.

After leaving the village, they found that the situation in the Sand Village was changing by the day.

Shikamaru believed that they shouldn't go through the normal official channels but should sneak into the Sand Village quietly, gather intelligence, and then study the next step of the mission.

Ino deeply agreed. It was true that she was strong now, but if she didn't expose her giant clay bird, being besieged by several thousand, ten thousand ninjas would still be a big problem.

The desert environment had a great impact on her Water Release and Wood Release. It was best not to fight if she could avoid it.

As a Jounin, she agreed to Shikamaru's plan of "sneaking into the village quietly and not firing a shot."

Her constitution was already somewhat like a Sage Body. Her recovery was much stronger than an ordinary person's, so crossing the desert was not a big problem.

Shikamaru was gritting his teeth and persisting. Choji was suffering.

The fat boy's face was now covered in sweat, and his face and skin were covered in sand. The originally white fat boy had now turned into a yellow fat boy.

Looking at the endless Gobi desert, he sat down on the ground, having no strength to walk.

Shikamaru, who had never been to the Sand Village, was also very tired.

Looking at Ino, who was only sweating from her forehead but whose breathing was still very steady, his face was full of black lines. This companion, who was born only one day later than him, was becoming more and more non-human.

"Let's rest for a while," he said.

The summoning beast, Shiromari, really disliked the desert environment. He had summoned it once yesterday, and the large lizard had expressed strong dissatisfaction.

Today, Ino could only use her Three-Bedrooms-and-Two-Living-Rooms Technique.

Underground plants grew and connected rapidly. Under the control of chakra, they soon turned into a small wooden house.

This wasn't the first time the fat boy had seen her Wood Release. At this moment, he rushed into the room like a gust of wind, as if seeing a long-lost relative.

Wood Release could make houses, and naturally, it could also make some tables, chairs, and benches, but it couldn't make things like pots, pans, bowls, and chopsticks.

Fortunately, they had brought everything.

Ino undid the sealing scroll, and Shikamaru sorted and placed the various items. They would camp here for the night.

Compared to living in a cave or under a rock wall, they at least had a house and could boil water and cook. The conditions were already extremely good.

The fat boy was not ungrateful. After resting for a while, he quickly got up to cook. Shikamaru killed two wild wolves outside, dragged them back, gutted them, and they ate roasted wolf meat.

Ino summoned some clean water, roughly washed her face and hands, and the three began to eat.

"Ino, you're amazing!" Eating the steaming hot roasted wolf leg, the fat boy gave her two thumbs up, expressing his admiration for the richness of Ino's methods.

The three of them were no longer Genin and couldn't always be in a team. He would occasionally go on missions with other ninjas, and the conditions at that time were so harsh! No place to live, no cooked food, not enough drinking water, only able to eat military ration pills. The conditions were simply incomparable to the present.

Ino nodded, accepting the compliment. Her conditions were indeed good.

While eating roasted wolf meat, she gossiped, "I heard from Sakura that a girl one year below us has taken a fancy to you?"

Choji was shocked. A woman? What woman? That sounds like a very terrifying creature! How can a woman be as tempting as roasted meat?

Shikamaru tilted his head, a look of someone enjoying a good show on his face.

It was unlikely for them to get married at fourteen or fifteen, but there were many who set their goals and got married after reaching a certain age.

Choji's ninja talent was relatively low. Continuing the family bloodline was a path he had to take.

Shikamaru had a clever mind and an extraordinary memory, which was a very rare talent in the ninja profession.

Ino had no other virtues except being able to fight!

The pressure to get married didn't fall on their heads, but Choji was different.

In the original timeline, Ino chose Sai as the representative of the Yamanaka family to assist Naruto with Shikamaru. At that time, even with Karui, the village beauty, as his support, Choji still fell behind.

The Akimichi family felt that this generation might not be able to compete with the Yamanaka and Nara families, so they placed their hopes on the next generation. This was a very normal thing.

At this moment, Ino didn't think that much, only that for a girl to take a fancy to the fat boy, her taste was truly unique.

"You don't like the junior? Then let me introduce you to a good-looking one. How about Karui from the Cloud Village? Her skin is as smooth as silk, she's the same age as us, and she has a Cloud-Style sword technique. If you marry her, she'll definitely be a good cook."

"Or how about Temari from the Sand Village? Temari's strength is a bit greater, and she's three years older than us, but she's caring. As they say, a woman three years older… hey, hey, hey, don't go!"

Ino's words kept the fat boy up all night. Marriage? Too terrifying! I'm still a child!

Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, he pushed open the door of the wooden house and went to find a place to relieve himself.
