Third Kazekage Puppet is one of Sasori of the Red Sands's trump cards. He took out this puppet at the critical moment. On the one hand, this was to show his combat power. On the other hand, he chose to use this time to kill the strongest Taking out Kazekage's puppet was just to reveal another fact - after knowing the truth about Third Kazekage's death, would Sunagakure still try to persuade him to return to that village?
In any case, there is no place for Sasori of the Red Sands there. If the other party can do this, although Scorpio will not change his mind, he will really take a high look at Sunagakure.
It's just a high-level glance. At least for the current Scorpion, things like the village are the shackles he has gotten rid of and the shell he has shed.
Putting Scorpion's attitude here, Saemon Matsudai showed an expression of disbelief. First, her eyes were fixed on the Kazekage puppet, as if she could still see for a while. The strongest Kazekage had an all-powerful demeanor when he was alive, but at this time, his strange mummy-like appearance revealed the fact that it was so clear... Third Kazekage died in the hands of Scorpion.
Zuemon's brain got stuck for a moment before she accepted this absurd thing, so her eyes turned to Xia involuntarily, and her expression became more and more complicated.
For Scorpion, bringing out the Kazekage puppet was nothing more than a demonstration of her attitude of never looking back and her disdain for not caring about Sunagakure's future; and for Zaemon, at this time she only felt that Sunagakure's once most famous genius had been completely ruined.
"There is an unexpected gain here. Isn't the mystery that has been unsolved for many years solved? But don't worry, this will not affect the next mission... How to deal with the former genius and now the rebellious ninja is Sunagakure's business. It has nothing to do with the collaborative mission we have received."
For Yuhara, what does it mean to rebel against forbearance? At this time, he only saw Xie's "orange outfit"... The so-called high-level figure naturally belongs to the virtuous.
"Maybe I've been missing for too long..."
Sasori of the Red Sands glanced at Yuhara, but seemed to ignore it.
Yuhara's attitude towards Scorpion seems to be a bit contemptuous, but Scorpion doesn't think this is his own problem... Doesn't anyone really think "Sasori of the Red Sands" is a bad guy?
If someone is willing to express this attitude with his life, then what can't Scorpio accept?
Sasori of the Red Sands said no more. As he waved his arms lightly and connected his five fingers, Third Kazekage Puppet vibrated a pair of iron wings and floated into the air. Two huge curved blades protruded from his arms and flew straight towards Yuhara.
Its "Iron Sand Wings" stirred the air greatly, and then increased its own speed. The sharp curved blade lightly cut through everything in front of it, and it seemed that it was about to cut off Yuhara at the waist in the next moment.
Yuhara rushed forward, and the violent sound of breaking through the air and the deep chill almost flew past his back. Then he exerted force on his right heel, and instantly twisted half a circle in a very exaggerated and extremely smooth way, and turned his back upwards.
He bent his right hand behind his back, first grasped something, and then threw it diagonally upward with all his strength.
He pulled out the huge scythe with a black handle and a silver blade from the "Sword Crate" behind him. The sharp scythe cut through a regular arc and accurately struck the Kazekage puppet that was about to pass by in an instant.
There is no doubt about Scorpion's puppet control skills. Before Yuhara's attack arrived, a large number of Iron Sand had already blocked the Kazekage puppet, turning into a seemingly indestructible iron shield.
However, it blocked nothing. The thin silver blade easily penetrated the iron shield and the Kazekage puppet hiding behind it.
The puppet would not be injured, and although Yuhara's attack penetrated the chest of the puppet, it did not seem to damage its key components, so the next moment a dense rain of Iron Sand needles shot towards the Yuhara below.
This kind of range-covering attack is incomprehensible to ordinary ninjas. Third Kazekage can efficiently and quickly complete a harvest with just one strike. It can be seen that the title of Kazekage, the strongest in his lifetime, is not in vain.
Yuhara turned over and stood, flicked his right arm, and grasped Mercury Longsword again. Then he neither rushed towards the puppet in the air, nor directly attacked Sasori of the Red Sands... He rushed towards Saemon Matsudai at his fastest speed, and got in front of the opponent before the attack landed.
He waved Mercury Longsword with one hand, seemingly blocking the intensive attacks that shot down in mid-air. But in fact, when those Iron Sand needles landed next to him, they had already been bounced away by an invisible force.
Yuhara hooked one foot under Zaemon's armpit, lifted the opponent's body lying on the ground like a hanged man, and then kicked Zaemon's lower abdomen cleanly and without hesitation.
Then I saw the body of this female ninja from Sunagakure instantly arched into a shrimp shape, and then flew close to the ground like a discharged cannonball. After flying upside down for dozens of meters, she rolled violently until she hit a broken wall.
She left a long trail of dragging, and after she stopped, various puppet parts and ninja tools and props around her were scattered on the ground.
For four or five seconds, Zaemon lay motionless on the ground like a corpse, and then she began to gasp violently... Well, Yuhara was worse than Sasori of the Red Sands.
It's hard to tell whether Yuhara is rescuing people or doing last-ditch damage. After seeing this scene, it's easy for people to think "As expected of you"... Many times, the damage from teammates is always more profound than the damage from the enemy, because the damage from the enemy is only physical damage, and the damage from teammates often comes with psychological damage.
Yuhara's rescue method stunned Sasori of the Red Sands on the opposite side for a moment. But no matter what, Yuhara sent Zaemon away from the focus of the battlefield faster than an emergency ambulance.
Scorpion didn't care about Zaemon's life or death. When he saw that the dense attack had no effect, he immediately changed his attack method. A huge iron triangular pyramid was suspended in front of the Kazekage puppet, and then smashed down towards Yuhara.
Boom!
The huge pointed cone pierced the ground, and a large amount of smoke spread. However, such a heavy attack did not hurt Yuhara. The next moment, his figure rushed out of the smoke.
His hands naturally hung on both sides of his body, and flew upwards against the inclined side of the triangular pyramid. He was as nimble as a fish swimming in the water, easily flipping to the top of the thing.
"I see, you are a Magnet Release Ninja." Xie said.
Through the confrontation just now, he finally saw something.
At this time, the scorpion is on the left, Yuhara is in the middle, and the Kazekage puppet is on the upper right. The scene is a standard two-bread sandwich with cheese.
"Ninja is different from ninja, especially Magnet Release Ninja is different from Magnet Release Ninja." Yuhara looked calm, not at all panicked by this situation.
"I probably know who you are. The so-called 'Annie Atom' is probably a pseudonym. You are Konoha Ninja who assassinated Sunagakure's Fourth Kazekage at the end of the war..."
Although Sasori of the Red Sands's ability to obtain information is not that strong, he does not even care about such a major event as the death of Fourth Kazekage. If he investigates this matter, he will always catch some clues.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense...Fourth Kazekage clearly died at the hands of Kakashi who was Sharingan." Yuhara immediately corrected it. As the saying goes, there is an owner for every wrong, and revenge requires finding the right target. This kind of thing cannot be messed up.
"Kakashi of Sharingan? Isn't that your companion?"
Sasori of the Red Sands was more vigilant, and being able to kill a village of shadows showed Yuhara's strength, and Yuhara's identity as "Magnet Release Ninja" gave him a rough understanding of why his puppet failed.
"Indeed, I almost forgot... I don't think he can last long, so we have to move faster here." In order to avoid Kakashi's fate of dying young, Yuhara decided to "recycle" Sasori of the Red Sands quickly.
However, Scorpion was faster than him. He stretched out his arms forward, opened his fingers and then clenched them. The Iron Sand under Yuhara's feet instantly became soft. After his feet and calves sank into it, it solidified like concrete.
However, such a move was not enough to block Yuhara's movements. He didn't even have to struggle, and his feet "floated" out of Iron Sand.
Then he jumped down, his speed reaching the limit instantly, and he rushed towards Sasori of the Red Sands without hesitation.
Xie shook his arm, and the Kazekage puppet followed closely behind, pressing towards Yuhara.
The so-called running is not as fast as flying. The problem is that Yuhara is also "flying close to the ground". The Kazekage puppet is chasing after it, but it seems difficult to catch up.
And just when Yuhara stabbed the scorpion with the long sword in his hand, the Kazekage puppet suddenly accelerated, and in a flash of lightning, a slender iron awl pierced Yuhara's chest.
The sudden fatal penetrating injury caused Yuhara's surprise attack to lose its power. He staggered forward and threw himself forward. Scorpion just turned sideways slightly, and the two of them just passed each other.
"How could Puppet Master be easily approached by the enemy ninja? This is not a weakness exposed, but a weakness deliberately exposed." Xie said while looking at Yuhara's back.
But what happened next was somewhat beyond Scorpio's expectations.
Yuhara, who was in the process of attacking the street, suddenly stopped. He turned his face sideways and said to Xie with a smile on his face, "I actually don't know what Puppet Master is, just like you don't know what a magician is."
As he spoke, he raised his left hand and shook it, showing what he had in his hand to Xie.
This thing looked familiar to Scorpion, and then he lowered his gaze and found that his right arm had disappeared. Although Scorpion had not yet undergone the ultimate evolution and "mechanical ascension", at this period he had already begun to transform his body.
I have to say that this is really a performance art. Puppet Master itself is at an absolute disadvantage when facing Yuhara, let alone Puppet Master who has puppetized his own body.
The strength of Sasori of the Red Sands cannot be underestimated, but for Yuhara, it is just an ordinary thing to dismantle its arms and legs.
While he was speaking, Yuhara turned around, and the iron awl that seemed to have pierced his body fell to the ground and turned into a piece of Iron Sand... There was no penetrating wound on his chest, it was just an iron rod attached to the front and back.
He really just performed a little magic trick.
Sasori of the Red Sands quickly took a few steps back. He tried to activate the Kazekage puppet again, but found that no matter how he waved Chakra Threads, the puppet he was most satisfied with had no response at all.
"Don't waste your efforts, do you know what the 'Ninpo Technique: Great Confiscation Technique' is?" Yuhara said.
To put it bluntly, regarding the fighting situation between the two at this time, Scorpion is like a primary school student, and Yuhara is like the head teacher. Doesn't the head teacher confiscate the toys of the primary school students when they say they are confiscated?
I didn't see how Yuhara controlled the puppet. He took control of the Kazekage puppet almost at will. I saw the Kazekage puppet reaching out and pulling out the huge scythe inserted in his chest, and then threw it to Yuhara.
Yuhara took over the long-handled weapon, holding a sword in one hand and a sickle in the other, looking very offensive.
The Kazekage puppet stood side by side with him, and the situation was reversed in an instant. Yuhara changed from the one being beaten by the group to the one participating in the group fight. Then he could perform a duet with the Kazekage puppet. I just don't know if Xie wants to see such a scene.
Faced with the pressure of his own artistic masterpiece, Xie retreated and took out a scroll with the word "red" written on it.
"Red Secret Technique·Performance of a Hundred Puppets."
As the seal was lifted, a large number of puppets were released. Many Chakra Threadss extended from Scorpion's removed right arm, making all the puppets under his control.
Scorpion, who has not yet completed the "mechanical ascension", has naturally not completed the production of the "regeneration core" at the core of his body, so the amount of control over the puppets is not as exaggerated as it was later. His strength has not yet reached its peak, so the so-called "Performance of a Hundred Puppets" is just an approximation. The amount of puppets he can control is still far from a hundred.
Specifically...
There are still more than seventy to go.
Yuhara and the Kazekage puppet controlled by him rushed towards Scorpion's puppet group. The current battle was not difficult, as long as one person and one puppet each completed the goal of "I can fight ten".
Kakashi Looking at the sea of fire in front of him, forced by the heat wave, he couldn't help but start to retreat.
"The power of the technique is beyond imagination. At present, there are only two shortcomings... No, considering the power of the technique, excessive consumption of Chakra cannot be regarded as a shortcoming, so there is only one problem with it - the name of the technique."
In any case, Kakashi feels that it is best not to use this technique if possible.
However, there are some things that are impossible for some people to learn, but there are some things that most people can learn at a glance, such as...
Roast large creatures and the like with fierce fire.
Yuhara roasted the front feet Tailed Beast, and Kakashi started roasting the Yamata giant snake on the back feet. It can be said to be the law of true fragrance.
For a moment, Kakashi actually had the illusion that he could really burn Orochimaru to death. Although Orochimaru had extremely exaggerated survivability, and even Kakashi had witnessed the strange "skin-shedding and rebirth" behavior of this legendary ninja, there was definitely a difference between trauma and burning.
As long as Orochimaru is burned to ashes, even every letter of DNA is burned out, then won't he die?
It can only be said that Kakashi is still too young. To kill Orochimaru, burning the letters will not work. At least the three characters Chakra must be completely eliminated.
Kakashi is not worried that his attack will affect Yuhara. Yuhara will not die from his own original ninjutsu. Based on the particularity of this jutsu, Yuhara has a certain degree of control over it. He will definitely not be burned to death.
Generally speaking, Kakashi has been thinking a lot these days. He hopes to kill someone, but he doesn't want to kill anyone. It can be seen that he is a little too optimistic.
The next moment, he had no time to think about this anymore.
A slender sharp blade spread quickly from the flames. It cut through the heat waves and flames, broke through the layers of obstacles, and stabbed towards Kakashi accurately.
This is Kusanagi Sword from Orochimaru.
Because it was more than a hundred meters away from the center of the flame, Kakashi discovered such an attack first. Although Kusanagi Sword extended very quickly, Kakashi was not blind after all.
So just when he was about to be stabbed, Kakashi jumped up and dodged. Seeing that he had already dodged this straight attack, he didn't expect that Kusanagi Sword's sword tip turned as his body moved, and then stabbed him directly in the shoulder!
The cold blade cut through the skin, embedded itself in the flesh and blood, and pierced Kakashi's torso in the blink of an eye.
What does this mean?
Not to mention a sword that can extend to the extreme distance, how can it still be deflected? This is a bit ungrateful, it is a high-tech cold-fighting weapon.
A moment of muscle contraction caused Kakashi's wound to almost lock on the sword blade that invaded his body. The unabashed impact and uncontrollable pain made him involuntarily step back. When he felt his back pressed against a wall, Kusanagi Sword's sword blade also penetrated the thick wall.
Then Kakashi felt the impact on his shoulder relax, and then the cold light began to circulate on the blade again.
Kakashi narrowed his eyes and found that Kusanagi Sword was no longer extending, but was shrinking towards him with the tip of the sword as the base point. In an instant, as the edgeless sword blade was contracted, a shadow was flying towards this side with its tail in its mouth.
The figure that was approaching rapidly was none other than Orochimaru. The complex, secret-level fire escape was still burning the remains of the big snake created by Eight Branches Technique. However, Orochimaru himself was hardly affected by this large-scale ninjutsu. He only lost a considerable part of Chakra.
"You are worthy of being a disciple of Fourth Hokage. According to my previous opinion, Kakashi, you are not comparable to Yellow Flash, but now it seems that I have underestimated you." Orochimaru came to Kakashi and said.
Since Kakashi's previous performance exceeded Orochimaru's expectations, he gave the other party a rare compliment... Due to various reasons, certain stimuli, and abnormal interference, Kakashi's current strength is far stronger than what he should have shown, and Orochimaru's emotion is well deserved.
And if we talk about Kakashi's original life trajectory, he was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Kabuto Yakushi.
Now Kakashi, with less than twenty years of skill, can go around with Three Legendary Sannin Orochimaru, which is naturally impressive.
Of course, if we compare the strength of the same period, Kakashi of the same age is still not as good as Minato Namikaze of the same age. After all, Fourth Hokage of this age is already conducting battlefield-penetrating operations.
The shining points are different from ninja to ninja. I have to admit that some people seem to be particularly shining.
"Compared to Minato-sensei? I am not an arrogant person." Kakashi has never thought of himself so highly.
Orochimaru ignored Kakashi's words. He just said to himself, "Then the question is, where did Yuhara go?"
At this time Kakuzu came behind Orochimaru, "Solved? It's a bit laborious. Don't waste time, don't forget our task."
This is just what he said on the surface. At this time, Kakuzu was also muttering in his heart, why is this not dead?
"Don't worry, Kakashi is certainly a capable young ninja, but the real trouble is actually the other one..." Orochimaru said, and he gave his own explanation without even looking at Kakuzu.
Orochimaru doesn't care about Kakashi, because he understands Kakashi very well. From his character and acting style to what kind of ninjutsu he can use and what level of strength he can exert, Orochimaru understands it all. It can be said that Kakashi is a ninja within the conventional framework, but what about Yuhara? Orochimaru still can't see through Yuhara. For him, Yuhara is neither an enemy nor a friend, but he is very wary of Yuhara.
However, although Orochimaru couldn't see through Yuhara, he knew that Yuhara would definitely not let Kakashi die here, so he threw out a bait without any psychological barriers.
But here Orochimaru thought wrong again. To put it bluntly, he still didn't pay enough attention to Kakashi. He thought that Kakashi was already on the fishhook, but what was the reality?
Orochimaru pulled out the Kusanagi Sword that had penetrated Kakashi's shoulder, and then Kakashi felt that his body seemed to be becoming rigid and out of control.
"Binding Curse Technique..."
Kakashi knew what was happening to him in the blink of an eye. Being able to use various ninjutsu flexibly is what is so terrifying about ninjas like Orochimaru.
Kakuzu stepped forward. He claimed that his task was priority and ignored Orochimaru's considerations. Instead, he felt that he should not hold back, otherwise there would be trouble... What was the disappeared Yuhara doing? Do you need to ask? There is neither blind nor deaf nor mentally retarded here.
Yuhara is fighting the "mission target", which is one of the reasons why Kakuzu doesn't want to waste time. So he doesn't agree with Orochimaru's approach and is ready to come up and give Kakashi a blow.
"You're not still thinking about the friendship with the same village, are you?" As he said that, Kakuzu had already pulled out a Kunai from Ninja Tool Bag.
A dangerous light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, but in the end he did not stop Kakuzu.
Killing someone to make up for it is nothing to Kakuzu, so the next moment, Kunai's sharp blade was already infinitely enlarged in Kakashi's pupils.
Stab it into the eye socket, and then mess with the brain. This method of finishing the knife can be called clean and hygienic.
Kakashi's body was controlled by Binding Curse Technique, and there was no way to hide at this time. But just when he was about to overturn, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan appeared, and then immediately connected together, showing a unique kaleidoscope pattern.
The figure of Kakashi disappeared from the place.
So Kakuzu's Kunai swung in the air and assassinated Lonely. Not only did his attack fail, he even froze there, as if he had no idea what was going on.
"This is..."
Compared with the ignorant Kakuzu, Orochimaru's eyes became narrower and more dangerous at this time.
