"Want to leave? Have you asked me?"
A dull sound came from the bottom of the cabin, and then the whole ship shook violently.
The deck began to tilt and sea water poured in. Something huge seemed to be awakening at the bottom of the ship.
"It's a trap!" Sai picked up the unconscious little girl and jumped on the Black Bird, "The ship itself is a huge living puppet!"
The surrounding scrap metal began to squirm, and the rusty ship plates contracted and squeezed like muscles. Countless rusty iron pipes stabbed the three of them from all directions like tentacles.
"Magnet Release?" Sasuke frowned. This kind of scale of control is definitely not something ordinary ninjas can do.
"Keep the girl!"
A man wearing a dark red diving suit jumped out of the water. He had no eyebrows, deep-set eye sockets, and carried a huge scroll on his back.
"That's...Kirigakure's defected first-level wanted criminal, "Iron Corpse" Raiga Kurosuki's old subordinate?" Sai recognized the other party's attire.
"No matter who he is." Sasuke Hand Seals with one hand.
Fire Style·Hao Dragon Fire Technique!
The huge fire dragon roared and rushed towards the wriggling metal tentacles. The high temperature instantly burned the iron pipe red and softened. But the man in red slapped the water with his hands, and a huge wall of water rose up, blocking the fire dragon.
"Use Fire Style? Uchiha Sasuke at sea, you are too arrogant!" The man in red smiled evilly, "This is my domain! Magnet Release·Iron Sand World Method!"
He forcibly extracted the rust and gravel from the sea water, condensed into countless black spikes in the air, and smashed towards Sasuke overwhelmingly.
If it were an attack of this density before, Sasuke could have used Susanoo to resist it. But now, he only has one hand, and he has to take care of Sai and the child.
"Cut."
Sasuke's left eye Eyepatch slipped.
The purple Rinnegan opened suddenly.
Heavenly Hand Power.
Sasuke's position instantly switched with that of the man in red.
Those deadly Iron Sand spikes all pierced the man in red. The man's eyes widened in horror and he wanted to remove the Cursed Mark, but the inertia could no longer be stopped.
Puff puff puff!
Although he barely avoided the vital point, his shoulders and thighs were still penetrated by several sharp thorns, and the blood dyed the sea water red.
"How is it possible... Space-Time Ninjutsu who doesn't need Hand Seals..." The man spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Sasuke standing on the back of the ink bird in disbelief.
"If it were the real Iron Sand World Method, that is, at the level of Third Kazekage, maybe it would make me take it more seriously." Sasuke looked at him condescendingly, "But the ninjutsu you picked up from the trash is too crude."
Sasuke didn't kill him. He needed information.
"Where did that girl come from?" Sasuke asked.
The man in red breathed heavily and suddenly showed a strange smile, "Do you think you saved her? That was the bomb left by Mr. Code... As long as it leaves the specific container..."
Didi didi.
The "wedge" in the girl's palm suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light.
A violent Chakra Wave movement burst out from her body. It was not her own power, but some kind of extremely unstable energy sealed inside.
"Self-Destruct Program?" Sai's face changed drastically, "This kind of Chakra will blow up an entire area of five kilometers!"
"Damn it." Sasuke immediately rushed over and tried to suppress the mark with Chakra. But the mark seemed to be alive, greedily devouring Sasuke's Chakra, and instead became brighter.
"It's useless!" The man in red laughed wildly, "That's the "limiter" set by Lord Code himself! Once it is touched by an outsider, it will explode the Natural Energy that has been accumulated for several years!"
Seeing that the red light was getting stronger and stronger, cracks began to appear on the girl's body, and light was transmitted from the cracks.
At this critical moment.
A black-red space-time gate tore out of thin air in mid-air.
A pale hand stretched out from inside and pressed directly on the girl's forehead.
"It's so noisy."
The voice was lazy and a bit impatient.
The moment the "wedge" that was about to explode came into contact with this hand, it seemed like a mouse that had seen its natural enemy, and it instantly became quiet. The red light faded, and the cracks on the girl's body stopped spreading.
Sasuke turned around suddenly and stared at the figure coming out of the time and space door.
Red hair, delicate facial features, and those iconic eyes with two black vertical lines.
Code.
"Oh, Uchiha Sasuke." Code clapped his hands as if he had just finished a trivial task, "Long time no see. Why are you bullying my scrap recycler?"
He was suspended in mid-air, and the white belt behind him was swaying like a tail.
"Although this is just a failed experiment, I would be very troubled if it blew up my "playground"." Code glanced at the unconscious girl. There was no trace of pity in his eyes, only pure indifference. "After all, there are still many good things buried here."
Sasuke tightened his grip on Kusanagi Sword, his palms slightly sweaty.
This was the first time since Isshiki's death that he had faced Code at such a close distance. The feeling of oppression was more than one level stronger than that of the fake Naruto.
It was pure, unadulterated monster scent.
"Are you here to retrieve her?" Sasuke asked in a deep voice.
"Her?" Code glanced with disgust, "I don't even want this inferior battery as a gift. I'm here to clean up the house."
Code snapped his fingers.
The man in red, who was still struggling in the water, suddenly let out a scream. Countless black claw marks appeared on his body out of thin air, cutting him into pieces instantly.
"A partner with a big mouth will be a disaster even if he keeps it." Code looked at Sasuke with a smile, "Okay, the garbage has been cleaned up. Next... it's time to settle the score between us, the one-armed uncle."
The sea breeze suddenly stopped.
It didn't stop naturally, but was squeezed hard by two huge Chakras, making it unable to flow. The air became thick and heavy, and even the breath smelled like rust.
Sai controlled the ink bird to quickly raise its height. He knew very well that he could not intervene in the following battle. The man named Code, just standing there, exuding malice made the ink-condensed beast tremble.
"Sai, take that child away." Sasuke said without looking back, "Go back at full speed Leaf."
"But you..."
"Let's go!"
Before Sasuke finished speaking, Code's figure had already disappeared.
There is no smoke from Body Flicker Technique, not even the sound of air being pushed away.
Bang!
Kusanagi Sword collided with a claw covered with black hardened material in the air. The huge shock wave instantly dented the steel fortress below, and the sea water exploded into a water column hundreds of meters high.
Sasuke's pupils shrank. So fast. Faster than recorded in the intelligence.
"It's difficult to block with only one hand, isn't it?" Code's face was very close, and his eyes were full of teasing. His other hand reached out from a weird angle, with black claw marks on the fingertips, piercing Sasuke's throat.
Heavenly Hand Power.
