Countermeasure, Puppet Formation
"Tsunade -Tsunade!"
Upon hearing Tsunade's name from Uchiha Yue, Sasori of the Red Sands suddenly realized that Uchiha Yue was Tsunade's disciple!
It's important to understand that in the eyes of the Sunagakure Puppet Master, even though the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan and Gentle Fist possess the ability to counter Puppet Master, the Hyuga Clan ninjas are still not a thorn in the side of the Sunagakure puppeteers. This is because as long as the Puppet Master fighting against the Hyuga Clan ninjas can maintain control over their Chakra Threads, then even if the Hyuga Clan ninjas possess the ability to counter the Sunagakure Puppet Master, the Sunagakure Puppet Master still have the ability to defeat the Hyuga Clan ninjas.
However, if the enemy of the Sunagakure puppets were Sannin, one of the Tsunade, then most Sunagakure Puppet Master's first thought would be to run away!
Because, in the Shinobi World, the one thing that is even more effective against the Puppet Master of the Sunagakure Hyuga Clan is Tsunade's Monster Strength!
Tsunade, wielding Monster Strength, was able to shatter the puppets of the Sunagakure Puppet Master with lightning speed. With their puppets destroyed, the Sunagakure Puppet Master were virtually rendered incapable of fighting. After all, the Sunagakure 'Puppet Master were like a samurai's sword; losing them significantly reduced their combat power.
Therefore, upon hearing that Uchiha Yue was Tsunade's disciple, Sasori of the Red Sands immediately realized that Uchiha Yue had mastered Tsunade's Monster Strength. As a result, when Sasori of the Red Sands looked at Uchiha Yue again, the seriousness in his eyes deepened. However, even now, Sasori of the Red Sands hadn't given up on the possibility of defeating Uchiha Yue. Then, Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to perceive that Sasori of the Red Sands was holding a ninjutsu scroll in his hand!
"Um?"
Using his Purple Eye, Uchiha Yue suddenly perceived the ninjutsu scroll and frowned slightly, guessing that the scroll was Sasori of the Red Sands's trump card.
Similarly, it was because of that ninjutsu scroll that Uchiha Yue felt Sasori of the Red Sands possessed the confidence to defeat him.
Immediately afterwards...
Uchiha Yue had no intention of giving Sasori of the Red Sands a chance to show his full strength, and arrived in front of Sasori of the Red Sands with Basic Shatter Step.
Sasori of the Red Sands, sensing that Uchiha Yue was about to use that strange footwork again, quickly prepared to dodge Uchiha Yue's attack. Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue possessed the ability to control Wind Style Chakra, allowing him to enhance his Wind Style Chakra. Now, Uchiha Yue could also use basic Yagami Clan secret techniques, the Basic Shatter Step, making Sasori of the Red Sands's attempts to dodge in front of Uchiha Yue as futile as an infant trying to defeat an adult!
"Whoosh..."
In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Yue appeared in front of Sasori of the Red Sands, wielding his Fubuki Tachi and slashing down without hesitation.
The next second, a flash of azure chakra light appeared on the edge of the Fubuki Tachi. It was the Wind Style Chakra Uchiha Yue had condensed, and it was the ultimate wind-style Chakra Nature Transformation. Then, a wind blade was slashed out from Uchiha Yue's Fubuki Tachi, which was the Falling Moon Style Secret Technique: Wind Blade Slash used by Uchiha Yue!
"Whoosh..."
Seeing the wind blade approaching, Sasori of the Red Sands recalled Uchiha Yue's previous battle and knew he couldn't take it head-on.
Moreover, since the basic training of Puppet Master in Sunagakure is to cultivate the ability to evade, Sasori of the Red Sands, sensing the trajectory of the wind blade, was about to dodge it. However, just as Sasori of the Red Sands was about to dodge the wind blade, a cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Uchiha Yue's mouth!
"The Falling Moon Style Secret Technique: Wind Reversal!"
"Buzz..."
Using the Byakugan -like ability of his Purple Eye, Uchiha Yue easily discerned Sasori of the Red Sands's trajectory and directly used the Chakra Threads in his left hand to control the wind blade that Sasori of the Red Sands was about to dodge. Immediately afterwards, the wind blade could be seen spinning in mid-air and then flying towards the direction Sasori of the Red Sands was trying to dodge.
Unfortunately, just as the wind blade was about to claim Sasori of the Red Sands's life, Sasori of the Red Sands actually Hand Seals in front of Uchiha Yue!
"Bang..."
Then, Uchiha Yue could clearly see that the wind blade landed on Sasori of the Red Sands's abdomen, instantly slicing Sasori of the Red Sands's body in two. However, at this moment, Uchiha Yue frowned slightly, showing no joy at killing Sasori of the Red Sands. Because, just as Sasori of the Red Sands Hand Seals hand seals, Uchiha Yue actually sensed that Sasori of the Red Sands had used a simple ninjutsu: the Sand Substitution Technique!
"Sasori of the Red Sands, did I really see what you were thinking?"
Upon discovering that Sasori of the Red Sands had used the Sand Substitution Technique to evade his Wind Blade, Uchiha Yue couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"I originally thought that Sasori of the Red Sands only knew how to fight using Puppet Technique."
"I never expected you to have such a good grasp of even basic ninjutsu. It was my oversight!"
"But..."
"Can a mere Sand Substitution Technique really turn the tide of battle for you?"
As he silently sighed, Uchiha Yue formed a hand Hand Seals, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake!
"Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist!"
"Whoosh..."
In order to reach Sasori of the Red Sands as quickly as possible, Uchiha Yue did not hesitate to use the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist to get directly in front of Sasori of the Red Sands. However, to Uchiha Yue's utter surprise, Sasori of the Red Sands had already unfurled the scroll in his hand the instant he approached with the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist!
Immediately afterwards...
Uchiha Yue saw Sasori of the Red Sands unfold the ninjutsu scroll and summon the puppet within.
Then, the moment Sasori of the Red Sands successfully summoned those puppets, within the range of Uchiha Yue's Purple Eye, a full ten puppets appeared around him!
"Bang..."
"Bang..."
"..."
At this moment, observing the ten puppets that had appeared around him, a hint of solemnity appeared in Uchiha Yue's eyes.
Undoubtedly, Uchiha Yue felt that Sasori of the Red Sands possessed the ability from the original story, capable of simultaneously controlling ten puppets in front of him to launch an attack. However, since Sasori of the Red Sands could summon ten puppets, it proved that Sasori of the Red Sands intended to use those ten puppets to defeat Uchiha Yue.
Then, using his Purple Eye, Uchiha Yue clearly perceived that the Chakra Threads on Sasori of the Red Sands's ten fingers were connected to the ten puppets in front of him. At the same time, the ten puppets controlled by Sasori of the Red Sands completely surrounded Uchiha Yue. Seeing that the ten puppets had surrounded him, Uchiha Yue suddenly realized that the ten puppets seemed to be using some kind of formation to completely surround him.
Soon after Uchiha Yue deduced Sasori of the Red Sands's intentions, he indeed clearly heard the name of this secret technique from Sasori of the Red Sands's mouth!
"Crimson Secret Technique: Ten Directions Slaughter!"
"Puppet Formation!"
