"They were all renowned Jonin who died in the Third Shinobi World War!"
"Did Sasori of the Red Sands really collect their bodies faster than the ninja from their own villages?"
Even Shukaku was dazzled when the Performance of a Hundred Puppets appeared.
"Then let's go big!
Wind Release: Sand Scattershot!"
Sand and stones blasted toward the puppets in the air across a wide area. Sasori immediately manipulated his chakra threads, directing the puppets to defend and evade.
Every puppet had its own special skills, and Sasori had spent years studying formations and rehearsing with them.
The seemingly disorganized puppet army immediately fell into formation.
The ninja capable of Earth Release lined up at different heights, and walls dozens of meters tall rose from the ground!
Everyone's eyes widened as though they had seen a monster.
"That much chakra... impossible! Does he have a tailed beast too?"
"A Puppet Technique on such a massive scale, and he can still unleash Earth Release of that magnitude..."
"And that's only his defense..."
Of course, Sasori did not have that much chakra.
After visiting Orochimaru's Experimental Base, he had learned a technology from Orochimaru called the Chakra Battery.
He had installed chakra batteries in all his puppets, allowing them to use and recover chakra like normal ninja.
"Against Wind Release..."
Under Sasori's control, a group of puppets climbed atop the towering earthen walls.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" × n
A dense barrage of fireballs rushed toward Shukaku!
Shukaku controlled the sand, likewise raising a towering wall in front of himself.
"Earth Release: Earth Moving Core!" × n
The ground began shaking violently. The earth beneath Shukaku split in two, dropping him straight into a pit!
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" × n
"Lightning Release: Encouragement Lock!" × n
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Fire!"
