Sasori had actually used Earth Milk Jade, a specialty of Ryūchi Cave, to create a new type of puppet.🐲💞 🐙ඏGoogle search to read
But from what Souya sensed, this Human Puppet relied on Senjutsu Chakra that Sasori had stored inside it beforehand to perform Senjutsu.
Although the Senjutsu performed by the puppet was thirty to forty percent weaker than when performed by the person himself, let's not forget that this was only one of Sasori's puppets...
He had so many scrolls on his back that even Souya had no idea how many puppets were hidden inside them.
Even if it was pseudo-Senjutsu, it was still Senjutsu. The difference between it and ordinary Ninjutsu was obvious.
Under Sasori's control, the river, more than two meters wide, surged upward and condensed into a lifelike, massive water dragon, which tangled with Rōshi.
Moreover, the water dragon's tail remained connected to the river. That meant it wouldn't disappear until the puppet ran out of Senjutsu Chakra.
Thud!
The water dragon rose majestically, its enormous head crashing down hard toward Rōshi.
Sizzle!
The instant Rōshi and the water dragon made contact, great clouds of steam billowed up again. But the water inside the dragon seemed endless. No matter how hot Rōshi's surface grew or how much white steam evaporated, the water dragon showed no sign of weakening.
Suddenly!
The water dragon's entire body burst apart, turning into a flood of water. For an instant, it was as if the Milky Way had poured down from the sky.
The water gathered into thick whips that coiled toward Rōshi, aiming to douse the lava shield covering his body.
Roar!
Rōshi let out a deep, furious roar.
The fierce red light covering his body flared brightly, and he slammed both beast claws against the ground.
