'Huh?'
'What was that sound?'
'Wasn't this the system's training ground?'
The moment he heard the voice, Kyo's gaze shifted, and he instinctively looked back.
However, unexpectedly, not far behind him, there actually stood a clear-featured boy with red hair and brown eyes!
At this moment, he was looking this way with a strange smile on his face.
'Huh?'
'A humanoid Hollow?!'
'An Arrancar?'
Kyo's expression immediately shifted slightly. Not daring to be careless in the slightest, he focused his mind, placing one hand on the hilt of his blade, and said in a deep voice:
"Are you... an Arrancar?"
While speaking, Kyo carefully scrutinized the other person from head to toe, trying to find the white Hollow mask that would identify him.
But after looking for a long time, there wasn't any trace of white bone.
"Huh?"
"...No Hollow mask?"
Kyo narrowed his eyes and muttered in surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, the red-haired boy across from him suddenly also wore a strange expression, then slightly raised his chin, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly:
"Arrancar? Tch, never heard of it."
"But seriously, what are you staring at?"
"As for who I am, it wouldn't hurt to tell you. After all, you're a dead man walking anyway."
Saying this, the red-haired boy suddenly raised his hand, taking out an old, gray scroll from behind his back. Then, he chuckled lightly and said:
"My name is Sasori, and I'm a puppeteer."
"Not long ago, I just destroyed a village. I was hoping to find some good puppet materials, but I never expected to see that unbelievable sword light of yours."
"Looks like my luck is really quite good."
"You seem to be a rare, high-quality specimen..."
As he spoke, the red-haired boy's eyes gleamed. He grinned, revealing a chilling, eerie smile.
And the next moment, seemingly without any hesitation, he directly spread the scroll on the ground before him, preparing to press his hand down on it.
"Hey, wait a minute!!"
Seeing this scene, Kyo across from him suddenly widened his eyes and immediately raised his hand, stopping his action.
Hearing this, the red-haired boy's hand movements paused. He looked up impatiently and asked, "What is it now?"
At this moment, the expression on Kyo's face was somewhat awkward.
"Uh, you... you just said..."
"You're that Sasori, who killed Sunagakure's Third Kazekage?"
As soon as he finished, the red-haired boy was momentarily stunned, then a slight smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. He grinned and said:
"Oh? You..."
"You're not completely ignorant, are you..."
Clearly, he was admitting it.
Hearing this answer, Kyo on this side fell completely silent, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
'No wonder he thought he looked familiar the moment he saw him.'
'This red-haired boy was indeed Sasori, the S-Rank Missing-nin from the Sunagakure in the world of Naruto, the genius puppeteer!'
'Judging by his current attire, it seemed he hadn't yet converted his body, nor had he joined Akatsuki...'
'But what the hell was going on here?!'
'So this so-called desert wasn't Hueco Mundo from Bleach at all? It was the desert of the Land of Wind from Naruto?!'
