With this doubt in mind, Shinji swept his gaze around and quickly spotted Sasuke lying off to the side.
Sasuke looked badly injured. His entire body was curled up on the ground, and he had failed several times to get back on his feet.
"So soon?!"
Shinji was somewhat surprised.
He knew that the Superalloy Puppet's strength would inevitably increase dramatically after obtaining Tenseigan Chakra, but he still hadn't expected even Sasuke to be unable to defeat it.
"Huh?!"
At that moment, Otsutsuki Toneri, who had followed Shinji out of the temple, let out a surprised sound.
Drawn by the exclamation, Shinji shifted his gaze away from Sasuke and turned it toward the battlefield.
The Superalloy Puppet was engaged in a fierce battle with Haku. Apparently, it hadn't gained much of an advantage in Taijutsu, so it activated the weapon modules on its body.
In an instant, two small drones ejected from its flanks and began firing lasers at Haku!
Haku had anticipated this and activated Ice Release, creating several smooth ice mirrors around himself and refracting the lasers shooting toward him away.
The refracted lasers struck the rocks, instantly scorching them black.
Because of their limited energy supply, portable laser weapons did not have much power. Let alone Haku's Ice Release—even ordinary Earth Release could withstand them if the layer of earth was thick enough. The laser weapons would need quite some time to penetrate it completely.
Just as everyone thought Haku had successfully blocked the Superalloy Puppet's attack, the beams fired from the drones suddenly changed from the original crimson thermal lasers into pale-blue Tenseigan Chakra beams!
Whoosh.
After transforming into Tenseigan Chakra beams, the previously refracted rays instantly pierced through the ice mirrors in their path and shot toward Haku behind them!
If Haku hadn't reacted quickly
