Orochimaru stood in the shadow of the ruined wall, his original relaxed expression gradually faded away.
He didn't take action.
Kakuzu didn't take action either.
Both of them could see clearly that the current battle was no longer a situation where they could take advantage by just interfering.
After Scorpion's Performance of a Hundred Puppets was deployed, a normal ninja would have been torn to pieces by the puppet swarm, but Ren didn't even activate Sharingan from the beginning to the end. He only relied on his footwork and perception to move freely in and out of the siege of hundreds of puppets.
Orochimaru stared at where Ren landed every time and lowered his voice.
"He is judging the puppet's attack rhythm in advance."
Kakuzu said coldly, "No need Sharingan?"
"It's no use."
Orochimaru's tone finally became solemn.
"What he relies on now should be the kind of perception ability that covers the whole scene just now. He captured Scorpion's Chakra Threads, the turning of the puppet's joints, and the tiny pause before the mechanism opened."
Kakuzu didn't speak immediately.
He has lived long enough and has seen too many Shinobi World strong people, but he rarely sees people like Ren.
Mangekyo Eye surgery is troublesome enough.
Idaten can push the speed to a level that even Raikage can't keep up with. Intangibility can attack directly through the body. Lightning Release can also derive Electromagnetic Field, and backhand Iron Sand from Third Kazekage.
But now, Ren does not open Sharingan, does not use Intangibility, does not open Idaten, and still plays with Scorpion's Performance of a Hundred Puppets in the palm of his hand.
This kind of strength can no longer be described as "very strong".
Kakuzu looked at the calm figure in the center of the battlefield, and his voice became very deep.
"He is more dangerous than the intelligence reports."
Orochimaru laughed softly, but the laugh was not at all relaxing.
"Yeah, things like intelligence are always one step slower than the real Monster."
On the other side, Kakashi was leaning against the ruined wall, with Cursed Seal on his left eye still showing a slight warmth.
As he watched Ren dodge among the puppets, the sense of absurdity in his heart became more and more intense.
Just now he was forced into a desperate situation by Third Kazekage Human Puppet, a scorpion, and he almost died from Iron Sand World Method.
But when Ren faced Performance of a Hundred Puppets, it was like testing the cooperation of a group of Genin in a training ground.
Kakashi whispered, "Is this the current Uchiha Clan Head..."
Xie heard the changes in the eyes around him, and the Regeneration Core in his chest beat faster.
Anger, humiliation, and the irritability of being completely seen through, were all suppressed in his Chakra Threads.
Hundreds of puppets changed their formations again under his control.
The twenty puppets in the front lowered their bodies at the same time, and the machine legs bounced out, increasing their speed; the puppets on the left and right unfolded their machine wings, crossing and blocking them from mid-air; the puppets in the rear raised their arms, and aimed their poison needles, flying blades, chains, and Kunai rain at the center at the same time.
Scorpio pulled with his ten fingers, and the puppets gathered together.
He singled out the most flexible and lethal puppets.
The remaining puppets that couldn't keep up with the attack rhythm were directly withdrawn to the periphery by him to form the second layer of blockade.
Kakuzu narrowed his eyes.
"Scorpion has changed his tactics."
Orochimaru nodded.
"He finally understood that pure quantity has no meaning to Mr. Ren."
Scorpion's face was gloomy, Chakra Threads was so tight on his fingertips that it was almost transparent.
"Uchiha Ren, you are very good at hiding."
"Then I will block all the places where you can hide."
As soon as the voice fell, more than forty puppets erupted at the same time.
Their speed was at least a bit faster than before.
The smaller the number, the more concentrated the distribution of Chakra is, and the more flexible the movements. The blade blocks the pace of Ren.
The poison blade on the left side swept across, forcing him to turn to the right.
The chain on the right side is wrapped around it, blocking the right path.
The machine-winged puppet overhead swooped down, spraying fine poisonous needles from the muzzle of its chest.
The three puppets under their feet broke out of the ground and bounced up. Their arms turned into crossed knives and cut directly to the knees and waist.
Further out, the remaining puppets formed a circle to surround them, blocking all escape locations.
Scorpion shows the oppressive feeling of a top puppet master.
The position of every puppet, the angle of every mechanism, and the trajectory of every poisonous needle are all pushing Ren towards the final dead center.
Kakashi felt chills running down my back.
If he were inside, even if Sharingan was fully activated, it would be difficult to handle so many killing moves at the same time.
Because this is no longer an invisible issue.
Even if you can see it, you may not be able to avoid it.
Kakuzu said in a deep voice, "This time, his escape route is gone."
Orochimaru looked at Ren.
"So, Mr. Ren, which trump card will you use?"
"Idaten?"
"Or Intangibility?"
Kakuzu also keeps an eye on Ren.
What he wanted to see most was how Ren would choose in a truly dead situation.
Can Idaten break out of this siege?
Intangibility Can you avoid the puppet's continuous attacks?
Or, Ren has other eye skills that have not been exposed?
Scorpion is also waiting.
Of course he knows that Ren has Mangekyo.
He also heard the information about Intangibility and Idaten.
So this time, he took the encirclement to the extreme.
As long as Ren materializes, it will be strangled by subsequent puppets one after another.
As long as Ren rushes out with speed, the peripheral puppets will detonate the second round of traps.
He didn't believe that Ren could still cope with it.
"Hide."
Scorpion's voice came from behind the puppet group.
"Aren't you good at hiding?"
"This time, let me see where you hide!"
Killing moves from all directions were suppressed at the same time.
The puppet's blade was only a few inches away from Ren's neck.
The poisonous needle has reached his chest.
The sword wheel under his feet broke out of the ground, and the muzzle of the machine gun above his head lit up with cold light.
All dodge space disappeared at this moment.
However, Ren stopped.
He stood there, not even moving his feet.
Kakashi's pupils shrank.
Orochimaru The body leans forward slightly.
The Earth Grudge Fear black line behind Kakuzu also unconsciously poked out a few strands.
Scorpion's fingers suddenly pressed down.
"Death!"
Just when the first puppet knife was about to be attached to Ren's neck, the ground shook.
Countless black Iron Sand soared into the sky from the ground.
Iron Sand exploded, surrounding Ren, forming a layer of high-speed rotating black barriers.
The puppet knife that was cut first hit the wall of Iron Sand and was chopped into pieces on the spot.
The poisonous needle was caught in Iron Sand and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As soon as the chain was wrapped around, the pieces Iron Sand got into the gaps between the links and broke into several pieces with a few clicks.
Before the cutter wheel could be fully ejected, the Iron Sand emerging from the ground jammed the gear shaft, causing the mechanism to make a harsh friction sound and then stopped.
Just as the muzzle of the overhead machine gun was about to eject, Iron Sand had already penetrated into the gun barrel along the gap, and the entire puppet shattered into a ball of wood chips and iron pieces in mid-air.
Scorpion's face suddenly changed.
"Iron Sand?"
Orochimaru's vertical pupils shrank suddenly.
Kakuzu also changed his expression.
They were just waiting for Ren to use Mangekyo.
But Ren didn't open Sharingan, he just stood there and let Iron Sand rise from the ground.
