"Since you're already dead, then rest in peace!!"
Ignoring the iron bullets raining down around him, Ay roared and charged at the Third Kazekage Puppet.
Seeing Ay about to attack the Third Kazekage Puppet, Sasori swiftly controlled it to leave its original position. A massive, still-undivided triangular iron block rose into the air and slammed toward Ay.
Unfortunately, Sasori had underestimated Ay's speed and overestimated himself.
Shrouded in Lightning Release Armor, Ay was like a blue meteor. Before the triangular iron block could even reach him, he had already streaked past it and arrived before the Third Kazekage Puppet.
"Break apart!!"
Raising his massive fist, Ay ruthlessly drove a punch into the Third Kazekage Puppet's head.
"Creak~~~"
Under that absolute speed and power, an ear-splitting sound of strained metal came from within the Third Kazekage Puppet's head. Its head was blasted apart by Ay's punch.
"Puppeteer?"
No one knew what Ay had thought of, but he looked at the stunned Sasori and gave a cold sneer.
If one looked closely, they would notice a strange object tucked behind Ay—a Black Rod.
After blasting open the Third Kazekage Puppet's head with one punch, Ay sneered and grabbed the Black Rod, driving it straight into the puppet's body.
"Not good!!!"
The moment Sasori saw Ay take out the Black Rod, he realized something was wrong.
A puppeteer relied on Chakra to control puppets from afar. If one of those damned Black Rods was inserted into a puppet, it would interfere with the transmission of Chakra and throw it into disorder.
That meant that unless Sasori could remove the Black Rod, he would no longer be able to control the Third Kazekage Puppet.
Sure enough, once its Chakra was disrupted, the Third Kazekage Puppet's body twitched and swayed a few times before collapsing
