"You bastard, where are you looking?" Seeing Kakuzu shift his attention to Ebizo, Chiyo was instantly furious.
"Puppet Technique: Three Treasures Vacuum!"
This was Chiyo's most powerful trump-card Ninjutsu, specifically meant for dealing with ninjas whose defenses were too strong for ordinary mechanisms to penetrate. As for the even more powerful Heavenly Light Prism, it had yet to be repaired after her last battle with Sarutobi Toru.
