A Hunger Greater Than Heaven! Orochimaru's True Ultimate Vessel!

Lumen raised a finger.

Sasori's right hand rose with it.

Everyone saw Sasori of the Red Sands' body being manipulated from afar by Lumen, like a real puppet.

What Sasori excelled at was Puppet Technique.

Yet what Lumen was now crushing him with was
