Atonement?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The powerful energy that wantonly destroyed everything was destroying everything in its path.

A layer of light shrouded Sasori's body. On closer inspection, it was a defensive barrier woven from countless tiny machines.

"With current materials, it can barely withstand the aftermath of Six Paths-level attacks."

Although Sasori was currently only a clone, he was different from everyone else's clones.

The extent of other people's clones depended on the strength of their original bodies.

But Sasori relied on the knowledge in his mind.

Even as a clone, he could create machines capable of fighting at the Six Paths level.

Sasori slowly pulled a sealing scroll from his sleeve.

The protective barrier around him rapidly expanded, creating a space undisturbed by the outside shockwaves.

He threw the scroll onto the ground. As smoke rose, a massive blue ring stood upright before Sasori.

"To find them, we must find the real New City."

All cities in the Land of Shadow had defensive modes. Once battle began, everyone would be transported into another space.

The blue ring slowly began to glow, while the empty space at its center gradually emitted white light.

At that moment.

A green-and-white streak of light appeared in the sky.

"If you want to enter that place, did you ask me first?"

Kiyoshi Hyuga raised a hand expressionlessly, gathering a green sphere of light in his palm and aiming it at Sasori.

Sasori merely looked coldly at Kiyoshi Hyuga.

"Your opponent isn't me."

Amid the endless thunderous explosions, Kiyoshi Hyuga could not hear what Sasori had said at all. The green light in his hand shot toward Sasori.

The slender green beam struck the protective barrier.

Yet it was like a welcome mat hitting a solid object, failing to stir even the slightest ripple.
