Chapter 790: Chaos in the Ninja World (2)
[A/N: Jeez, you guys make me doubt my own work and make me recheck... So many comments about chp 781 being short when it is 1,550 words long (without the a/n at the bottom). The comments made me think that I uploaded half a chapter or something 😫]

"Heh, I didn't think I'd run into Sasori of the Red Sand here. What an honor."
Fujin was genuinely happy. He couldn't even hide the glint in his eye! The last time they met, Sasori had given Fujin quite a gift. Fujin had even traded some of it with Hiruzen and got his hands on a very useful rank S jutsu. Even though he still wasn't very comfortable with handling the other puppets, there was no reason to decline another generous gift. He couldn't help but wonder whether Sasori would give him the legendary puppet of the Third Kazekage during their second meeting!
A chill passed down Deidara's spine as he shivered involuntarily and wondered, 'I have never seen such a passionate gaze. Why is he staring at Sasori in such a manner? It's almost as if he found some great treasure!'
Sasori, despite having changed his body to a puppet, immediately lost his temper. Needless to say, he had already connected the dots when Zetsu reported Fujin's abilities. However, he never imagined that Fujin would look at him in such a brazen manner on their second meeting. There wasn't a hint of doubt in his mind that Fujin wanted to steal more of his clones.
He cursed, "It was you wasn't it, Suzuki Fujin? You are the one who stole my puppets!"
The Konoha ninjas, who were following Fujin, were dumbfounded. None of them ever imagined that their commander would be accused like this by a rogue ninja. Konomi wondered, 'What in the hell? He stole puppets from Sasori? Is that even possible? No wonder he is so angry. I can feel his bloodlust.'
To the surprise of the Konoha ninjas, Fujin immediately replied aggressively, "Bullshit! This is the first time I have seen you. Don't try to sully the reputation of Konoha ninjas without any proof."
