So he could grasp the situation of the entire city.
Because Mukade's body was particularly fragile, he had simply embedded his entire body inside a massive Puppet.
When he saw Sara actually bringing Sasuke and Naruto toward the royal city,
the Dragon Vein was underground.
Mukade had always been plotting to conquer the world.
He had now used the people of the Country of Roran to create thousands of Puppets.
Combined with the Second Kazekage's puppet technique, he could control thousands of Puppets at once.
