Hearing Uchiha En's request, Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Many of Minato Namikaze's Sealing Jutsu were learned from Kushina, which are the Secret Techniques of the Uzumaki Clan.
Minato Namikaze could not possibly hand over these specific Sealing Jutsu to Uchiha En without Kushina's permission, but other Sealing Jutsu were fine.
"En, I know quite a few Sealing Jutsu, so I need some time to organize them. Once I'm done, I'll have someone deliver them to you. I can also take the time to ask Kushina if I can teach you some of the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu."
"Thank you very much, Hokage-sama."
Minato Namikaze nodded without saying anything further.
Three days later, Uchiha En received a scroll delivered by Kakashi.
The scroll contained the Sealing Jutsu known by Minato Namikaze, along with his Cultivation Insights.
It is worth mentioning that the scroll also contained the Four Symbols Seal, a Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan. Minato Namikaze must have included it after receiving Kushina's permission.
For the following week, Uchiha En devoted himself to studying Sealing Jutsu, but he had no talent for it and failed to even grasp the basics after a week.
That afternoon, Asana suddenly arrived at the Police Force headquarters.
"En, I have a mission that requires me to leave the Village. Do you have time to come with me?"
"Of course I do." Uchiha En replied without hesitation.
Uchiha En then handed over the Police Force matters to Uchiha Aya and left with Asana.
After leaving the Village, Uchiha En asked Asana, "Asana, what is your mission?"
"The mission isn't important. I just randomly accepted one as an excuse to leave the Village."
"So you have another purpose for leaving the Village?"
"Yes. Orochimaru-sensei provided me with the whereabouts of a very powerful Puppeteer. I can't create puppets, but my eyes can control them. I want to 'borrow' a few puppets from this Puppeteer."
Borrow? Uchiha En instantly understood.
"Where is this Puppeteer?"
"In the Land of Wind."
Uchiha En nodded, performed hand signs, and summoned Lightning. Then, he and Asana jumped onto Lightning's back, letting Lightning fly them toward the Land of Wind.
Lightning's speed was now extremely fast, and they arrived within the borders of the Land of Wind in less than two hours.
Uchiha En and Asana jumped down from Lightning's back.
Following the intelligence provided by Orochimaru, the two arrived at a small town in the southeastern part of the Land of Wind.
As soon as they entered the town, Uchiha En's Minds Eye sensed someone hiding under a Sand Dune not far ahead.
Uchiha En immediately activated his Sharingan and simultaneously warned Asana to be careful.
Asana promptly activated her Byakugan and also saw the person beneath the Sand Dune.
Just as the two discovered the person, the hidden individual under the Sand Dune attacked, shooting a Poisoned Needle at Asana.
Seeing this, Uchiha En immediately drew his nodachi and blocked in front of Asana, while directly using Lightning Release on the person hidden in the sand dune, intending to force him out.
The person in the sand dune showed no intention of dodging Uchiha En's Lightning Release, instead continuing to throw several shuriken at Asana.
After the evolution of Asana's Byakugan, her strength had also made a leap. Furthermore, with Uchiha En protecting her, how could these shuriken possibly harm Asana?
Meanwhile, the person hiding in the sand was struck by Uchiha En's Lightning Release.
However, to Uchiha En's surprise, his Lightning Release seemed to have caused no damage to this person.
The figure slowly climbed out of the sand, looking at Asana with an excited expression.
Seeing the figure's appearance, Uchiha En turned to Asana and said, "We must have found the right person."
Uchiha En said this because the puppet looked exactly like Sasori of the Red Sand's Hiruko from the original work.
And hidden inside Hiruko was the Hidden Sand Village's S-rank Rogue Ninja, Sasori of the Red Sand!
He was the only genius in the Hidden Sand Village whose Puppet Technique had reached the level of Red Secret Technique, rumored to possess the strength to destroy an entire country alone.
"You're from the Hyuga Clan, right? Why is your Byakugan blue?" Sasori of the Red Sand asked excitedly.
Asana didn't speak, instead giving Uchiha En a meaningful look.
Uchiha En understood immediately, instantly teleported over, and sliced Hiruko open with a single strike of his blade.
Sasori of the Red Sand was thus exposed before Uchiha En and Asana.
"How dare you destroy my Masterpiece?" Sasori of the Red Sand said with a cold face.
"I just thought your puppet was too ugly. By the way, don't you have the third kazekages puppet? Bring it out!" Uchiha En said with a smile.
Hearing this, Sasori of the Red Sand immediately realized that these two were specifically here to cause him trouble.
"Hah! Since you've come here to die, I won't be polite. It just so happens that my collection of puppets doesn't yet include any from the Uchiha or Hyuga Clans." After speaking, Sasori of the Red Sand pulled out a scroll, and after a puff of smoke, the third kazekages puppet appeared.
"En, be careful. I feel like this puppet is not simple." Asana warned.
"Don't worry! Even the living Third Kazekage wouldn't be my match, let alone a corpse." Uchiha En replied calmly.
"Heh! Such arrogance. But it doesn't matter. You should feel honored, because you are about to become part of my Collection!" After speaking, Sasori of the Red Sand controlled the puppet and charged toward Asana.
The Third Kazekage was a Magnet Release Bloodline holder who could manipulate Iron Sand for attacks, and Sasori of the Red Sand's puppet control technique was extremely sophisticated.
The ubiquitous Iron Sand flew toward Asana at extreme speed. If Asana made even a slight error in judgment, she would be instantly pierced to death by the Iron Sand.
Just as Uchiha En was about to make a move, a layer of strange Force Field appeared around Asana's body, and the Iron Sand was immediately repelled.
Sasori of the Red Sand did not stop after the missed attack. Instead, he used the third kazekages puppet to condense the Iron Sand, which gathered into a Giant Cone and flew toward Asana once again.
Asana's eyes lit up. The third kazekages puppet indeed possessed remarkable power! Her trip had not been in vain.
Uchiha En, standing beside her, directly blocked in front of Asana, and with a single strike of his nodachi glowing with purple electricity, he scattered the Iron Sand.
Uchiha En then instantly teleported right in front of Sasori of the Red Sand. His Sharingan could clearly see the Puppet Threads, which were as fine as hair.
Uchiha En decisively swung his blade and severed the Chakra Threads Sasori of the Red Sand was using to control the puppet.
Uchiha En did this because he had previously seen how the High-ranking Members of the Uchiha Clan dealt with Chiyo and Ebizo during the Battle of Mount Kikyo.
After Chiyo's puppets had their Chakra threads cut, they lost their ability to move. Sasori of the Red Sand's puppet should be the same.
This was indeed the case. The Third Kazekage's Human Puppet lost the support of the Chakra Threads, the effect of Magnet Release vanished, and the Iron Sand disintegrated and fell from the air.
