Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

Surprise attack force.

There were several bodies scattered on the ground.

Those are the people who were unwilling to kill their manipulated companions, and ended up dying...

“It is said that other troops have already engaged the enemy.

"I didn't expect that our surprise attack team, who was at the forefront, would be the last to encounter the enemy."

The young man with purple facial patterns spoke slowly, looking at the figure walking towards him from the dense forest.

——A red-haired man.

"And it turned out to be you...Scorpion of the Red Sand, senior."

"Oh? This facial pattern belongs to the child of the Fourth Kazekage at that time. His name is Kankuro, right? No wonder."

The man sneered: "Crows, black ants, and salamanders, those toys are pretty interesting, right?"

The "Black Secret Technique" work he created in his childhood is still not outdated even today. It was through the hands of Grandma Chiyo that it fell into his hands.

During that time, while hunting down the One-Tail with Orochimaru, he happened to encounter a young man playing with the Black Ant...

Perhaps, this is fate?

“That’s not a toy.”

"......Oh!"

There was a mocking voice coming from a distance.

"Because you've found a toy you like better, like this one?"

He was referring to the red-haired puppet he was controlling, which looked exactly like him.

--"scorpion"!

It has not decayed to this day.

But now, I am the real doll that never decays. This is the art I have always longed for!

"This isn't a toy either..."

After Grandma Chiyo died, there was no one to take over the puppet, so with Kakashi's consent, it fell into his hands.

Every puppet is the product of the creator's hard work and contains the creator's soul.

It is definitely not something that can be simply dismissed as a toy.

Kankuro took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I heard that you died at the hands of Kakashi-senpai. I didn't expect to have the chance to meet him again. It's really fate that plays tricks on us."

The person in front of him was the talented puppet stylist he once admired the most...

"Kakashi? No, not him. It's that woman."

"woman?"

Kankuro was stunned for a moment, and had a premonition. A vague face suddenly appeared in his mind.

At that time, I barely had an encounter with the woman who was traveling with Kakashi-senpai, but the memory was too long ago and I only had the impression that there was such a person.

I have actually seen that person's face under the mask, and I always felt that he was somewhat familiar...

"Ye Cang, you should have dealt with him when you were younger. At least your sister must remember it."

As a person from Sunagakure, it is impossible for him not to be impressed by this name.

The person who was traveling with Kakashi-senpai at that time was actually...

Are they family members?

"I guess she must be regretting that she couldn't become my eternal creation. But you should also be thankful that she is not here, otherwise you would be in trouble."

The talented stylist who lost his puppet is not as threatening as before in the current situation, but that person is different!

With the abilities he showed at that time, once he joined the battlefield...

"Sai!" Kankuro suddenly shouted coldly.

If we miss the opportunity to attack due to idle chatting, it would be unfair to our dead companions and even more so to our responsibilities as captain.

"understand!"

A bird, depicted in ink, swooped down from the sky.

At the same time, two giant humanoid figures attacked with fists!

——『Super God Fake Painting: Moo Fist』!

The form of the God of Wind and the God of Thunder was imitated, and the attack was powerful and severe.

The puppeteer's body was weak to begin with, and he had no time to dodge, so he was knocked back dozens of feet.

He just managed to keep his balance, but his feet suddenly went weak.

The ground collapsed, and black puppets immediately surrounded it, and the vision fell into darkness.

He had already ambushed...

——『Salamander』!
