Amid an ancient cybernetic complex where antiquity and technology intertwined, several tall, vicious-looking puppets shot through the air. Their cold, gleaming claws shone with a man-eating light, and the purple lasers spraying from their mouths sent a Blond Boy fleeing with his hands over his head.
Bang—!
"What... is this place?"
The Blond Boy, who had been dragged here by some strange power, raised a long blade coated in blue Chakra and cut a sorry figure as he blocked the attacks from the flying puppets. His azure eyes were filled with bewilderment.
One second ago, he had clearly been chasing the rogue ninja Mukade with his teammates. How had he closed his eyes and opened them again, only to end up in this unfamiliar city?
Not only had he failed to get answers from a red-haired girl who seemed to be a local, he had also been chased all over the streets by puppets that had suddenly appeared.
Boom!
While the boy was distracted, the puppets quickly closed in. Though the Chakra blade in his hand successfully severed several of their Chakra threads, he was still knocked down by the puppets swarming one after another, smashing heavily into the ground.
"Ugh..."
Bang, bang—!
Before the wounded boy could climb to his feet, the purple lasers fell once more. They not only struck him dead-on, but also pierced through the ground beneath his feet.
Thud!
The boy fell into the dim underground. A bloody wound had opened on his left leg. He looked up at the broken hole in the ceiling, only to find that those puppets still had no intention of letting him go.
"Damn it!"
Left with no choice, the boy lifted the Chakra sword he carried with him once more, preparing to fight the puppets to the death.
