On the field!
Looking at the hundred-plus puppets floating in the air before him, even Shisui felt his scalp tingle.
He had once believed that Granny Chiyo, who could control ten puppets at once, had already reached the limit of what a ninja could do. Yet now, he was witnessing someone controlling a hundred puppets alone.
What Shisui did not know was that, compared to ordinary puppeteers who controlled their puppets with chakra strings through their hands, Sasori's method was far more advanced.
At the spot in Sasori's chest where his heart had once been, he had transformed it into something called a Regeneration Core. All the chakra Sasori used now was generated by that Regeneration Core.
The hundred-plus puppets in the air were controlled by Sasori through the Regeneration Core. Dozens of transparent chakra strings could vaguely be seen extending from his chest, each connected to a puppet.
Since the puppets were directly connected to the Regeneration Core, there was no need to manipulate them with his fingers like an ordinary puppeteer. He could directly transfer his will into the puppets and control their movements freely.
Moreover, because they were directly linked to the Regeneration Core, the puppeteer's intent and the puppets' movements were perfectly synchronized.
Before today, Sasori had used this secret technique, Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets, only once. The result had been the complete destruction of a small country. Its power was truly terrifying.
Though it felt unbelievable, Shisui quickly steadied himself. Powerful ocular strength erupted from his eyes, and light flickered across the Green Susanoo. The next moment, two pairs of enormous skeletal fists rose high and charged straight ahead.
So what if there were over a hundred puppets? Before the Susanoo, they were still nothing but grains of sand.
**Bang! Bang!
