Chapter 52:

"I know the location where Chiyo-sama lives in, please follow me." The special jonin replied subconsciously, while being hypnotized by the genjutsu.

Akira nodded and followed in the footsteps of the special jonin.

In Suna Village, the sound of explosions and flames were heard everywhere, causing the upper echelons of Suna to be alarmed, panic and in chaos. The war finally ignited in Suna Village.

The current defensive force of Suna Village is indeed at its weakest. Facing the attack of Konoha forces, Suna Village was in a huge panic. They did not expect to face an attack at this time. Now that the major countries have put most of their elite troops on the battlefield of the country of rain, who could have expected the village to be attacked suddenly? Under such circumstances, the response of the upper echelons of Suna was also slow.

Under the leadership of Jiraiya, the Konoha ninjas had the advantage, making the ninjas of Suna panic as they were caught off guard and the scene was chaotic.

Akira and the others have been planning for a long time, while Suna defense force rushed to meet the enemy, so there is no need to tell who is better.

Akira glanced at the battle situation, temporarily feeling relieved and then followed the special jonin who was hypnotized to Chiyo's residence. Akira quickly followed the special jonin through the village and he finally arrived arrived at Chiyo's residence.

Chiyo lives in a high-rise house in Suna Village and a faint light was lit in the house.

"It's here." The special jonin said.

"Thank you for leading the way, but I'm sorry." Akira nodded and released the hypnotize. With a throw of the shuriken that sank directly into the chest of the special jonin, blood splashed out as the special jonin grunt and fell softly to the ground.

After killing the special jonin, Akira entered the house.

Once inside, he can see that the house is spacious and clean. There are many wooden puppets in the house and in different varieties, some were funny, some were scary, and some were cute. The appearance of so many puppets in the room had confirm the fact that this is indeed Chiyo's residence.

Suddenly, there was a burst of crisp laughter from the room, which sound like the laughter of a child. As Akira expected, the Chiyo family seemed to be on the battlefield and only Sasori stayed at home. (In the original story Sasori was also alone throughout his childhood. Even though Chiyo is alive but she didn't take of Sasori, there are also no guardians taking care of Sasori so he is mainly alone with his puppets as companion)

Akira walked into the room and saw a little boy about three years old. The little boy was holding a puppet, looking up and down and playing enthusiastically, with an innocent and fond smile on his mouth, as if he was satisfied with the puppet in front of him.

The little boy was beautiful and cute, and his hair was lighter red in color compared to Kushina crimson red hair. The little boy had been focusing while playing with the puppet in front of him, seemingly unaware of Akira's arrival. This three-year-old boy who was playing with the puppet enthusiastically is going to grow up to be Sasori of the red sand in the future.

"Present Sasori of the red sand is young and only about three-year-old now." Akira thought while taking a step forward.

"Who…who are you?" Perhaps it was the sound of footsteps, Sasori raised his head suddenly, and was a little wary when he saw Akira suddenly appearing. He shrank back slightly and looked towards Akira with his eyes wide open.

Akira shrugged: "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. Your name is Sasori, right? Sasori, do you want to see your grandma and parents? I can take you there."

Seeing Akira mentioning his grandmother and his father and mother, Sasori's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?" During the war, Sasori stayed at home by himself most of the time, and only these puppets in the house accompanied his childhood. So Sasori was naturally very happy when he heard Akira wanted to take him to find his grandma and parents.

Sasori of the red sand, who is infamous in the future, is indeed just a little kid now and also a kid who lacks the love of his father and mother.

"Of course it's true, are you willing to go with me? I'll take you to find your grandma." Akira's sharingan activated, the three tomoe sharingan slowly turned and a genjutsu is use to hypnotize Sasori.

Sasori gradually fell into in Akira's genjutsu, furthermore he had been wanting to see his grandma and parents, so he nodded without hesitation and cooperated: "I am willing to…"

"Very good." Akira chuckled as he smoothly grabbed Sasori and prepared to leave.

Patter.

The puppet in Sasori's hand was released by him and fell directly to the ground with a crisp sound. Meanwhile Akira carried Sasori and left quickly, disappearing into the night…

Sasori was controlled by Akira's sharingan and completely followed Akira's command, behaving very obediently. In the end, Akira directly used genjutsu and made Sasori fall asleep obediently, which will be much more convenient for the escape.

Akira came out with Sasori and heard the chaotic and panic scream of the villagers and at the same time the sound of war also came. It seemed like the two sides had already started fighting. Akira carefully observed the situation of the battle for a while and understand the current situation.

Suna seems to have gradually recovered from the panic and began to organize ninja troops to fight Konoha. Whereas Konoha's ninjas are also led by Jiraiya and fight against Suna ninja. Judging from the current situation, Suna is temporarily at a disadvantage, but they are also trying their best to fight back.

"Akira, why are you here? You also caught a child?" At this moment, Akira heard the voice of Minato. Minato killed a Suna special jonin in front of him and shouted to Akira. Minato found it strange that Akira is carrying Sasori. This is because Minato didn't know Akira's purpose in catching Sasori.

Akira said: "This kid is of great use and you will know it then."

"Do you have any good ideas?" Minato shook his head, Akira's ideas are always endless, making him amazed with his creativity.

Akira smiled while carrying Sasori and said, "How is the current situation like?"

"Jiraiya Sensei just fought against Suna elite forces and push them back." Minato was a little excited: "Akira, your plan is really great!"

"Well, the goal this time has been achieved." Akira shrugged. He didn't want to achieve some glorious merit. It was obviously impossible to capture Suna Village. The current loss of Suna Village is not small and it is already a good result for Konoha.

The upper echelons of Suna Village were obviously panicked and they were a little at a loss when faced with Konoha's raid.

"We are going to retreat!" Akira said at this time.

"Retreat?" Minato was a little puzzled. It was a good situation. Why retreat?

"Our goal has been achieved. If we continue further, more Suna Village's elite force and even Kazekage will come, which will lead the situation to be more troublesome and dangerous. Even if we are retreating now, the upper echelons of Suna are still panicking and they will recall their elite force. Thus relieving Tsunade crisis ." Akira explained. Akira didn't say that since Sasori is in his hands now, dealing with Chiyo will be easy.

"Okay, I see." Minato nodded immediately.

Akira carried Sasori and went to find Jiraiya together with Minato again, once they gathered, Akira explain to Jiraiya his next course of action and plan.

Jiraiya is extremely convinced by Akira through the success of the raid and immediately nodded in agreement to his plan.
