“You know, you may have covered your body with the cloak and mask of Amatsukami… but, with that peculiar jutsu that you use, do you really think that I don’t recognize you?” Hearing Sasori, Dojin was stunned, a trace of doubt appearing on her face.
Seeing Dojin silent, Sasori thought that she was panicked. He grinned sinisterly and continued, “You may have forgotten what you did to us, but I haven’t. Based on our first encounter, I had the impression that you are some kind of lunatic who can’t even hold a conversation. Now that I see you standing in that uniform of Amatsukami, everything makes sense.
I suppose it’s safe to assume that was just a façade… At that time, you must have already joined Amatsukami; that’s why the moment you saw us, you did what you did. Oh well, it’s a pity that you chose to be our enemy. I will complete the payback here and now… Deidara!”
Dojin didn’t know what nonsense Sasori was spouting. When she heard the name he spoke, she couldn’t be more shocked, “De… Deidara?!” She never expected Sasori to confuse her for Deidara, leaving her speechless.
I mean, it’s true that this clone is based on Deidara; he played a crucial role in creating this clone, even if he isn’t aware of it. But who would have thought that Sasori would assume that she is Deidara and not someone else?
Seeing Dojin exclaim in shock, Sasori felt that his guess was completely right. While Dojin, or better yet ‘Deidara,’ was recovering from shock and panic, Sasori took out a new scroll and said while slowly unfolding it, “I suppose I should thank Fujin. Because of him, I was able to create this… This is my new masterpiece… And now I am going to use the very same masterpiece to put an end to your life… You should be honored. If not for having joined Amatsukami, you would never even qualify to see this masterpiece… Get ready, Deidara, for what’s about to come.”
Seeing the character ‘Hiruko’ written on the scroll, Dojin instantly knew what the masterpiece in Sasori’s words was, and this surprised her very much. ‘Hiruko really died? I guess the Chimera Buds and Dark Medical Jutsu weren’t able to save him from the decaying effect of ‘All-Killing Ash Bones.’ I guess I should be happy that I won’t have to deal with him anymore, although, the fact that he was turned into a puppet is a bit…”
In the last battle between Hiruko and Fujin, although Fujin had severely injured Hiruko before he could land the finishing blow, Obito intervened to save Hiruko. Since there were Chimera Buds in Hiruko’s body and because he had also mastered Shinnō’s Dark Medical Ninjutsu, Kuroto didn’t think that Hiruko would actually die. But seeing the scroll in Sasori’s hand, Dojin realized that that’s not the case; Hiruko is really dead. She cheered to herself, ‘Well, that’s one down, I suppose.’
As soon as the scroll was unfolded, Sasori said with a smile, “I will be adding you to my collection soon enough… and don’t worry, this will be over before you know it.”
Sasori’s words brought Dojin out of her thoughts, and she nodded in agreement, “Well, you are indeed correct; this will indeed be over before you know it.”
As soon as she completed her words, Dojin’s body swelled up rapidly.
Sasori was taken aback by the sudden change, and the smile on his face solidified in shock, “Wh.. what?!”
As her body expanded more and more, Dojin said, “You know the problem with you, you talk too much… well, not anymore… see if you can survive it.”
And the next second, the world turned white.
BOOM!
…
On the main battlefield
As the explosive clay bird approached the battlefield, Dojin jumped off the bird. Vigilantly watching Kakashi vs ‘Madara’ on one side and Weasel vs Tobi on the other, she slowly approached the Konoha Anbu.
Seeing the unfamiliar shinobi, who seemed to be a new member of Amatsukami, approaching them, the Konoha Anbu, though not openly hostile, remained on guard. Only Akame (Kurenai), who was the de facto leader in the absence of Kakashi and Itachi, remained calm and greeted her, “A while ago… it was you, right? Didn’t you leave?”
Dojin shook her head and chuckled, “Nah, that was just a clone of mine… I sent it in advance to scout the area and understand the overall situation here… I never expected Sasori would be so foolish and directly chase after the clone.”
Looking at the other person mocking Sasori so blatantly, all the Konoha Anbu were left speechless. While they might agree with the opinion that it was foolish of Sasori to chase after Dojin, they wouldn’t dare to comment on it. After all, Sasori has the strength to back up his actions. Perhaps only members of Amatsukami, who possess unfathomable strength, can mock the likes of Sasori!
After a nice laugh, Dojin looked at Akame, Rabbit, as well as all the other still alive but gravely injured Konoha Anbu. She then turned to Hana (Yugao) and asked, “How’s the situation?”
Hana shook her head bitterly, “Most of the Iryo-nin who were with us are already dead. Sasori targeted them first… The rest of us have done what we can. We made sure that they won’t die instantly. However, this is not enough… They still need proper medical treatment…”
Dojin nodded, “I see.” She then raised her hand, and immediately the Explosive Clay bird hovering in the sky descended and landed on the cold desert. She pointed at the bird and said, “Put all the injured on the back of the bird, and all the Iryo-nin should also get on the bird. It will immediately take all the wounded back to Konoha… Of course, the journey would take more than a day. However, with all the medics supporting the wounded, they should be able to stay alive by the time this bird reaches Konoha Village.”
The others nodded, “I see, that would certainly help.”
Just as they prepared to transfer the injured as per Dojin’s instructions, suddenly a spiral whirl appeared behind Dojin, and a hand stretched out of it.
Everyone’s expression changed horrifically as they watched the hand approach Dojin’s shoulder.
At this moment, Kakashi’s voice resounded from the back, “Be careful!”
Seeing the change in everyone’s expression, Dojin immediately realized that something wasn’t right. But before she could react, the arm landed on her shoulder. As soon as it touched her, her body was paralyzed and unable to move. The next thing that happened was that she was sucked inside the Kamui world and disappeared from the shinobi world.
