The twin-blade puppet was damaged. Chiyo immediately pulled it back, her face burning with anger.

The White Secret Technique's Ten White Pine Guardians were a masterpiece even by Puppet Master Monzaemon's standards.

Chiyo's ten fingers danced. The remaining nine White Puppets surrounded Fugaku.

A blue-faced puppet fired several iron chains, trying to pin Fugaku down completely.

A white-haired puppet's arm suddenly extended, trying to hold him in place.

The other puppets drew their weapons and attacked Fugaku at the same time.

His Sharingan spun rapidly, letting him see every movement clearly. He kept dodging as Lava Release Chakra gathered and swirled in his hand.

A massive ball of magma formed in his palm. He flickered past the white-haired puppet's close-range attack and slammed the ball into its chest.

The magma ball exploded, spilling molten rock across the puppet's body.

Rain struck the magma, sending up steam that swallowed the white-haired puppet whole.

Another of the Ten White Pine Guardians was crippled. Only eight remained.

Chiyo swiftly pulled the damaged puppet back. The rain had cooled the magma coating it, but its body was ruined.

Her expression darkened again. She moved her fingers, and the remaining eight puppets sprang into action.

Fugaku formed hand signs. A Great Fireball shot toward Chiyo, and he followed close behind with the Body Flicker Technique.

His Sharingan fixed on Chiyo. An ox-headed puppet stood in front of her, serving as her guard.

Chiyo also used the ox-headed puppet to block his view of her and ward off Sharingan Genjutsu.

With the Great Fireball on her left and Fugaku on her right, both bore down on Chiyo.

Several puppets moved quickly out of the Great Fireball's path. Powerful as they were, puppets could not use Ninjutsu.

The Great Fireball passed Chiyo and slowly faded.
