Sasori glanced at Deidara, who was making bombs behind him. He knew he needed to buy Deidara some time.
Without the slightest hesitation, Sasori flicked his fingers and sent the imposing Third Kazekage Puppet to attack Naruto.
At Sasori's command, the Iron Sand inside the puppet seemed to come alive. It gathered and spun in the air, then formed into surging magnetic torrents that rushed toward Naruto with tremendous force.
The Iron Sand moved like a living thing, shifting and twisting as it tried to pierce Naruto's Infinity Technique.
Yet the fierce attack barely made a ripple against the Infinity Technique. The Iron Sand halted just in front of Naruto.
Seeing that the attack had failed, Sasori smirked coldly, then ordered the Third Kazekage Puppet to unleash an even more powerful technique: Magnet Release: Iron Sand Pyramid.
The puppet rapidly formed Hand Seals, and the Iron Sand around it was drawn together by an invisible force. It quickly condensed into a razor-sharp triangular pyramid that glinted coldly, then hurtled toward Naruto with the force of a tidal wave.
The air seemed to freeze, pierced by a sharp sonic boom.
But Naruto didn't back down. A golden glint flashed behind his sunglasses as Senjutsu Chakra covered his body. His muscles tensed, and all his strength gathered in one fist.
The instant the Iron Sand pyramid reached him, Naruto swung his fist. His punch collided with the pyramid, unleashing a deafening roar.
Shockingly, Naruto not only stopped the attack but sent the pyramid hurtling back with astonishing force.
A look of disbelief flashed across Sasori's eyes. What happened next forced both him and Deidara to dodge with all their might.
Naruto wasn't finished. The instant the pyramid was knocked back, he swiftly followed up with a Reverse Spell: Crimson.
The strike erupted
