The daimyo at the back had long since been scared witless. Battles between ninja were nothing like he had imagined, and his status, which had always worked in his favor, could not stop the other party's advance.
"Y-you! Stop that bastard! Don't let him get over here!"
The puppeteer suppressed the shock in his heart. Threads of chakra followed their paths, trying to bind Uchiha Yū's body, but when they reached his vicinity, they were disrupted by some inexplicable force and ultimately collapsed.
"What exactly is interfering with my ability...?"
The puppeteer found it troublesome and could only give up in the end. The threads tightly bound around his puppets, preventing that strange power from invading them.
"With your current abilities, you can't stop me!"
The only thing Uchiha Yū found troublesome was that the daimyo behind him was far too frail. His body was nothing more than an empty shell ruined by wine and women. If Yū used even slightly more force, the man would not be able to withstand it and might very well be killed directly by the radiation energy.
Moreover, he could not let anyone discover that he had released the radiation. After all, he needed to detoxify the man under the identity of a doctor. Yū preferred using violence to place a certain psychological burden on him, while the physical weakness would seem more like shock-induced convulsions. Everything would appear perfectly natural.
"Not good! Daimyo, get out of here!"
Bang!
A puppet blocked the space between them. A terrifying power radiated from around Yū, and the instant it touched the puppet, it tore apart its outer protection and brutally destroyed the puppeteer's prized creation.
The puppeteer on the left could only ache inwardly. Losing a puppet truly struck at the heart of his resources!
