Farewell, the strongest
"Damn it, didn't they kill him?!"
The Sunagakure is on the verge of collapse, unable to harm him, while they themselves are being slaughtered continuously.
If this continues, even two thousand people won't be enough for him to kill!
"It's not working... Puppet Unit! Your turn!"
Saki didn't waste any time and gave the order!
Hundreds of Ninja controlling puppets surrounded Eiji, and together they drove the puppets to attack Eiji!
The tall puppet wielding a sharp axe, the multi-armed puppet wielding four swords, and the agile puppet that could shoot needles from its mouth and chest cavity—all of them were frantically swinging their weapons at him!
Eiji stood still, neither dodging nor flinching, watching the puppets unleash deadly weapons upon him.
However, whether it was the giant axe, the Ninja Blade, or the flying needles, they all stopped just centimeters away from him.
He then used his Six Eyes to observe the Sunagakure's methods of controlling the puppets, and with a wave of his hand, the Chakra Threads controlling the puppets snapped inch by inch!
Without the puppeteer's control, the once ferocious and cruel puppets instantly fell to the ground in disarray.
"What?! My puppet was actually...!"
The Sand Village ninja, now without their puppets, stared in disbelief at their own hands. How could they have simultaneously severed the connection between everyone and the puppets!?
Eiji flexed his fingers, and a large number of Chakra Threads reconnected the puppet beside him that had lost contact.
Gara gara gara gara--
In an instant, nearly a hundred puppets seemed to come back to life, mechanically moving their legs and arms to stand up, their heads mechanically turning to face their original masters.
Seeing this, the puppeteers all showed fear and began to slowly retreat.
"I've figured out the technique for controlling the puppets, but their designs are really not aesthetically pleasing, so I'll just have to make do with them for now."
Eiji controlled nearly a hundred puppets to attack the surrounding Sand Village ninja.
In an instant, countless Sand Village ninjas were cut by ninja swords, struck by poison needles, or severed by giant axes.
"What a convenient thing! If I have time, I'll make some dolls that suit my aesthetic sense!"
Eiji said while controlling the puppet.
I can study it properly later. My handicraft skills aren't bad, so making some puppets of my favorite anime characters might be feasible.
While we can't expect it to be of high quality, it can still achieve a good reproduction of the appearance.
Speaking of which, Chiyo has a Ninjutsu called the Ten Puppets of Chikamatsu, right? I'll try making a puppet army of ten people on my side too.
"How is it possible to control so many puppets at the same time! Only Chiyo of our Sunagakure could master such a technique. How could someone your age possibly do something like this?"
A puppeteer, having lost his temper, roared at Eiji.
"Surprised? The real surprise is yet to come."
Eiji controlled a puppet army that surged forth in a devastating attack on the enemy.
◇
It was completely out of control. Saki stood there dumbfounded, utterly unable to stop Ryuuzaki Eiji.
His men looked around at the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The camp, which had just held more than two thousand people, now had only five hundred survivors. No one could escape. From the beginning, he had planned to kill everyone here.
He reached for the cloth bag at his waist; the poison pouch Chiyo had given him was inside.
This is the only way.
Damn it... It's just sacrificing your own life, what's wrong with that!
He drew the massive Ninja Blade from his back and launched a deadly charge towards Eiji.
Facing the oncoming puppets, he forcefully swept his arm forward, instantly slicing the puppets in front of him into pieces!
Block them! Cut them off! Block them! Cut them off!
He cut down everything in front of him. As a hero of Sunagakure, his strength was beyond doubt. These inferior puppets were nothing to him.
"Oh, so you're finally going to do it yourself? I thought you were planning to just coast until the very end."
Sensing the enemy's determination to fight to the death, Eiji released control of the puppets, intending to use Jujutsu to eliminate this enemy.
Faced with the furious, head-on strike, he didn't choose to dodge, but instead opted to meet the attack with Limitless.
The heavy Ninja Blade, as powerful as a mountain-splitting axe, slashed down towards Eiji's face, but hesitated just one centimeter from Eiji's line of sight!
"Tsk, it really doesn't work..."
No matter how hard Saki tried, he just couldn't hit the brat in front of him. So, is this the Ninjutsu he's relying on?
That's truly an invincible Ninjutsu; no wonder you managed to defeat the Third Raikage.
But that's precisely where your downfall lies.
His memory went back to more than 30 years ago, when he was still a child.
He chose to become Ninja in order to support his family, gradually becoming numb to killing from the beginning.
The look in her family's eyes gradually changed from initial relief to fear.
I can no longer be considered a good person; I will surely go to Hell to suffer after I die.
Although he was known as a hero of Sunagakure, Saki was still aware of his own limitations.
With his limited strength, he was no match for the Shinobi World. He lacked decent talent and a powerful Kekkei Genkai like the Lord Kazekage, so he could only survive by relying on his intellect and brute force.
But if I can defeat you, the strongest one, in the end, then my life won't have been in vain.
Farewell, strongest.
"Sorry, but this means you'll have to die with me."
Just as Eiji was about to say something, he noticed that Saki had released his grip and then punched the bag at his waist with all his might!
"... What are you doing?"
As soon as Eiji finished speaking, a dense purple mist instantly enveloped Saki and Eiji!
"Checkmate! The strongest!"
Saki grinned triumphantly, a smile brimming with a sense of accomplishment and a hint of relief.
"So, this is your trump card? Poison Gas, you want to take me down with you?"
Eiji glanced around at the thick Poison Gas, noticing that the insects at his feet stopped moving a few seconds after coming into contact with the gas.
"That's right, I have to say your Ninjutsu is really strong. You can't be touched by Ninja Tool or Ninjutsu. With this kind of Kekkei Genkai, you can indeed be called the strongest! But you miscalculated one thing. As long as you are a human, you need to breathe, and Poison Gas is also a gas. You definitely can't isolate it."
Despite being on the verge of death, Saki appeared unusually excited.
The Poison Gas had begun to corrode his flesh, and horrifying sores began to appear on his cheeks. His blood vessels also began to bulge, making him look like a zombie being rapidly eroded by viral cells.
