Hayato darted across the battlefield. Wherever he went, the enemies there were thrown into chaos.
In just a few minutes, several giant snakes had been reduced to gleaming white skeletons. The remaining giant snakes that were strong enough to dispel their own summoning techniques had already fled back to Ryūchi Cave to cry to their snake mothers. Those without the strength to do so scattered and hid from Hayato, like worms fleeing from birds.
Well, the worms were just a little outrageously large...
With no snakes left to play with, Hayato had no choice but to play with people. He set his sights on several more active Sand jonin.
Likewise, Hayato's active performance caught the attention of the Sand's experts. Several Sand jonin stealthily approached him. As the saying went, the gun shot the bird that stuck its head out. The question was, was Hayato the gun or the bird?
Within the range of Star Eye, Hayato knew sneak attacks were useless.
A Sand jonin charged at Hayato first.
A puppet!
Hayato saw through it at a glance. Sure enough, the charging jonin suddenly opened its mouth, extending a tube that fired countless thin steel needles. Hayato, already prepared, leaped aside and easily avoided them.
"A puppeteer, huh? Ever heard of the Hyuga Clan?"
Hyuga clansmen, who could see chakra and sever chakra threads, were indeed a headache for every puppeteer.
With one palm strike, Hayato cut the Puppet String attached to the puppet. The puppet collapsed to the ground with a smack, like a broken toy.
The next second, Hayato vanished and appeared behind a tree.
"If this end of the thread is the puppet, then the other end is the controller. That's common sense." The puppeteer behind the tree was so frightened by Hayato suddenly appearing before him
