Seeing Lord Kazekage being overpowered by Akaseki, Kanaro could not help stepping in...
Kanaro laid out sealing scrolls beside him, then undid their seals one by one, taking out enormous puppet components.
The next moment, those components assembled into a giant puppet not much smaller than a tailed beast...
