Hundred-Meter Gundam! The Final Battle

Bang! The Mechanical Giant's leg slammed into the ground, instantly shattering the earth and causing a landslide; cracks spread in every direction until the ground collapsed entirely!

The mere aura radiating from that leg was enough to feel its terror; it was absolutely not something a standard Kage-level ninja could contend with!

"What the hell?!" Naruto frowned at the sight.

However, the moment his words fell, the next instant, Whoosh! A giant mechanical demonic hand, like a claw reaching out from hell, suddenly thrust out from the golden vortex.

Wherever it passed, violent winds surged.

"Hahahahaha..." Sasori, hovering in the void like a demon, laughed hideously. Then, his crimson gaze pierced toward Naruto, and he roared: "Let me show you my true art!"

In an instant.

BOOM--!

The demonic hand and leg spread wide, and the golden vortex erupted with astonishing power, expanding dozens of times over. Accompanied by terrifying pressure, the surrounding ground kicked up dust that blotted out the sky.

But at the same time, an entity as vast as a mountain leaped out from within, descending upon the ninja world!

That was the master of the demonic hand and leg.

For the moment, this entity was shrouded in dust; although its appearance was obscured, the sheer aura alone was clearly no ordinary thing!

Gradually, the dust dissipated, revealing its head.

"No way... are you kidding me!" Naruto's pupils contracted sharply as he saw this, and he exclaimed in astonishment: "What the hell! Where did you get a Gundam from?!"

As Naruto's voice trailed off, the dust cleared completely, revealing the true face of this entity!

It was a hundred-meter-tall mechanical god!

Its entire body was a dark red, resembling a steel fortress, with the texture of metal fully realized!

At the same time, its frame was sharp and angular, its head featuring a domineering V-shape, and its pair of pupils glowing like burning embers, radiating endless majesty.

Its limbs were as thick as pillars supporting the sky, and the mechanical joints were tightly interlocked; though it wasn't clenching its fists, the power it exuded seemed capable of crushing everything in the world.

On its back were a pair of massive wings that looked as if they would tear the heavens apart; the sheer dominance was enough to make anyone tremble.

This was, for all intents and purposes, the very image of a Gundam from Naruto's past life!

Absurd, it was simply too absurd!

Even Obito, peeking from afar, felt his face twitch beneath his mask as he muttered in disbelief: "Sasori, he actually possesses a puppet giant of this caliber?!"

"This size... it's already comparable to a Complete Body Susanoo!" Black White Zetsu, standing beside him, was equally shocked.

Sasori, a member recruited by Konan through force, actually possessed such terrifying means!

The hearts of Obito and Black White Zetsu could not calm down for a long time!

And on the battlefield at this moment.

"Absurd, simply absurd..." Naruto felt the shock of the Mechanical Giant most directly, his eyes filled with astonishment.

But he immediately suppressed the agitation in his heart, turned his gaze toward Sasori in the void, and asked: "Sasori! Something like this couldn't have been built by you! What exactly is going on here?!"

Hearing this, the ferocity in Sasori's pupils faded slightly, replaced by a touch of relief. "It is true that I did not create it... but I am the one who restored it!"

Swish! Sasori flicked his wrists, and chakra threads instantly coiled around the head of the Mechanical Giant.

Sasori pulled himself over, standing atop the giant's head, and continued to explain: "I obtained the puppet scroll for this by chance in a small country. When I first summoned it, it was nothing but a pile of broken scrap metal. It took me decades of time to gradually repair it, but even so..."

At this point, Sasori's expression became somewhat desolate. "It still has damage that even I, with all my might, could not repair!"

"Then what is this now?" Naruto continued to press, his eyes scanning the Mechanical Giant.

Naruto still believed that even if this was an accidental find from another country, it could never be a product of the ninja world.

He guessed that this must be an accidental relic from a planet with highly advanced technology...

After all, beyond the ninja world, there existed supernatural beings like the Otsutsuki clan.

So, the existence of a world with advanced technology was not such a strange thing!

Just as Naruto was thinking.

"Hahahahaha..." Sasori suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly, a crazed light flickering in his pupils as he shouted.

"However, as long as I sacrifice the parts from all the puppets in my Hundred Puppet Performance, I can temporarily fill in the damaged areas!"

That explained why those broken human puppets had flown toward the golden vortex earlier...

"Is that so?" Naruto was thoughtful, his eyes flickering as he continued: "Then with this, you have enough to overturn the current ninja world! But you have always refrained from using it; I suspect there is still a flaw you cannot fix!"

It was as if Naruto had hit the nail on the head.

"..." Sasori's pupils shrank, and he fell into a deathly silence.

However, the next instant.

Sasori's eyes flashed fiercely, and with a wave of his hand, he shouted: "Yes! To control it in battle, one must inject a unique energy source! The ninja world does not possess this energy, but if one wishes to force it to move, there is one other way..."

As he spoke, Sasori's pupils were completely consumed by madness. He pointed to his own chest and roared.

"That is to burn my Core of Life!"

As the words fell, the next instant.

Swish! The core of life at the center of Sasori of the Red Sands' chest detached itself, tearing through the air to arrive at the center of the Mechanical Giant's brow, before a diamond-shaped transparent glass seal.

Then, under Naruto's gaze.

Click! The glass seal slowly opened, and Sasori's core of life flew instantly inside.

In a flash.

"Whoosh—" A brilliant, dazzling light erupted from the center of the Mechanical Giant's brow, and scorching flames slowly rose; it was the core of life of Sasori beginning to burn!

At the same time, Sasori's slightly frantic words echoed across the battlefield.

"This is my, Sasori of the Red Sands', final battle! Art is eternal beauty!"

As the words fell.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The ankles of the Mechanical Giant instantly flashed with an extreme red light, which then climbed upward, until it had set the entire body of the Mechanical Giant ablaze!

Those crimson eyes, at this very moment, erupted with true divine might!

At this moment.

"Rumble—" A terrifying, extreme pressure erupted completely from the Mechanical Giant, crushing toward all directions with a roar.

For a time.

The earth trembled and hurricanes roared, as if it were a living hell!

"Is this, Sasori's full power?" In the distance, Obito could not help but activate his Mangekyō, his pupils filled with disbelief.

Seeing this, Naruto muttered to himself: "Using your life as a bargaining chip to forcibly activate this Mechanical Giant? But if I were to use the Flying Thunder God technique to escape, wouldn't you just blow yourself up..."

However, as he reached this point.

Naruto suddenly looked up, staring at the center of the Mechanical Giant's brow as if seeing Sasori himself, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

"But, I will accept your final challenge, because I want to try out a Gundam right now too!"

"Kurama! It's time for you to pay the rent!"
