Hatake Style·Falling White!
Sakumo's figure suddenly became blurry, and the next second he came between Scorpion and Third Kazekage Puppet, and the short knife in his hand turned into a vertical silver lightning.
This sword seems simple and direct, but it contains ultimate speed and precise prediction.
It did not slash towards the scorpion, nor towards Puppet, but towards the air.
No, it's not air.
The trajectory of the sword's fall happened to be the path that Chakra Threads was most likely to pass between Third Kazekage Human Puppet after using Body Flicker Technique in Sakumo's prediction.
The highly condensed Chakra attached to the blade can accurately cut off the most critical core Chakra Threads that connects the scorpion and Third Kazekage Puppet.
The moment the silk thread broke, Third Kazekage Puppet's movements showed an extremely subtle stagnation that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Although Scorpion can be quickly controlled through other threads, this moment of lag is enough for Sakumo.
His figure, relying on the potential energy of "Falling White" and the ultimate explosion of Body Flicker Technique, almost cut off the thread and appeared in front of the stunned Scorpion as if teleporting.
Onslaught without stopping! Even faster!
"Hatake Style·Crescent Moon!"
The short knife drew a flawless and poignant arc in Sakumo's hand, just like Crescent Moon taking off into the sky.
This knife was so fast that it surpassed visual capture, and with the coldness and determination that cut through the moonlight, it passed diagonally across Scorpion's neck from bottom to top!
"Crack!"
There was a crisp sound, like the snapping of a dead branch.
Scorpion's delicate but cold Puppet head flew away in response to the sound.
It was thrown high and then rolled to the ground, raising a small cloud of dust.
The entire Canyon seemed to have fallen into deathly silence at this moment.
From the disconnection of Falling White to the beheading of Crescent Moon, the whole process was as fast as an illusion.
This is the Konoha's White Fang knife.
Accurate, fast and deadly!
"As expected...Konoha's White Fang."
However, a calm voice without any ripples came from the abdominal cavity of the still standing Third Kazekage Puppet.
Before the words were spoken, a sudden change occurred.
The headless scorpion's body, instead of falling, suddenly opened up.
The joints of the chest, abdomen, and limbs opened like flowers, and countless barbed mechanism chains and tough Alloy internal structures popped out. Like a predatory monster python, the Sakumo, which was slightly closer due to the slashing and whose legs were covered by the previously quietly spreading Iron Sand, restricting its movement, was firmly sealed and tied up to form a solid cage.
At the same time, Third Kazekage Puppet slowly raised his hand and lifted the Puppet robe from his chest.
Under the robe, there is not an empty Puppet structure, but a Core of Regeneration embedded inside the Puppet chest!
Scorpion's calm voice continued to come from Third Kazekage Puppet's body:
"I have repeatedly studied your fighting style, so I used Core of Regeneration as Decoy. In fact, my body is in the most dangerous position, that is, among the controlled Puppet.
You have been fooled, Hatake Sakumo, the so-called Konoha's White Fang is nothing more than a faster ordinary Ninja after being thoroughly studied."
It turns out that this is simply a carefully laid trap!
Xie has long studied the classic battle between Sakumo and Puppet Master, and understands his usual lightning tactics of "cutting off the line and getting close, going straight to the core".
Therefore, he deliberately created a tiny flaw in the control that seemed to be caused by the broken silk thread, luring Sakumo to perform it at close range.
And he has already transferred and hidden his real Core of Regeneration in Third Kazekage Puppet's chest.
The decapitated body was simply a Decoy Puppet, or rather his modified secondary body that could be remotely controlled.
It also has a simple Chakra circuit and sound device inside, which can even simulate some life reactions, enough to deceive most Sensing.
When Sakumo thought that the attack was successful, his mind relaxed a little, and his body was in the best capture opportunity due to the attack action, where the old strength was exhausted, the new strength was not yet generated, and was restricted by Iron Sand, the trap was instantly activated.
This reversal is indeed enough to catch any opponent off guard and put them in a desperate situation!
Sakumo, who was firmly bound by metal chains and his legs were trapped deep in Iron Sand, looked at the Core of Regeneration in Third Kazekage Puppet's chest so close at hand, but there was no expected surprise or panic on his face.
He didn't even struggle.
He just raised his head calmly, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the shell of Puppet, looking directly at the controller hidden in the depths, and slowly spoke, his voice was terrifyingly calm:
"Young Naruto You underestimate me."
Scorpion: "?"
Sakumo continued, "You need Core of Regeneration to provide Chakra to maintain existence and control, that's right.
But it does not mean that the Core of Regeneration you show must be your real Core of Regeneration."
"What..."
Scorpion's consciousness seemed to fluctuate.
The moment his voice fell.
A slight sound of breaking ground came from not far away, next to the Puppet head that fell to the ground and belonged to Scorpion.
Another figure that was exactly the same as the trapped Sakumo suddenly emerged from the ground like a ghost.
He moved as fast as lightning, bent down, stretched out his hand, and picked up the head of the scorpion on the ground.
Then, under Scorpion's unbelievable "gaze", the figure's fingers accurately penetrated into the fracture of the head and neck, groping upwards as if searching for something.
The next moment, he took out a cylindrical Vessel about the size of Scroll, made of special material, with a complex Sealing Formula engraved on the surface.
That is the real and only core Core of Regeneration of Sasori of the Red Sands!
But at this moment, when I took out the real Core of Regeneration, it turned out to be Lightning Clone from Hatake Sakumo.
The trapped Sakumo looked at Third Kazekage Puppet's sudden freezing movement and said calmly:
"Even if my main body vision is blocked by your Puppet mechanism and restricted by Iron Sand.
My Lightning Clone can still rely on Chakra's subtle Sensing and combat intuition to find your real weakness."
He had long realized that the beheading was too smooth and that Core of Regeneration's display was too deliberate.
Therefore, before performing Falling White's slashing attack, he had secretly separated a Lightning Clone that was lurking underground when Scorpion attacked. At the same time, the main body deliberately fell into the trap, attracting all of Scorpion's attention and trap firepower.
Third Kazekage Puppet's expression suddenly changed.
The originally calm control consciousness was filled with shock and a trace of annoyance at the wrong move?
"You actually used your body as Decoy?"
Scorpion's voice finally had a hint of incredible fluctuation.
How much courage does this require?
Once the judgment is wrong and the body falls into a desperate situation, it will be beyond redemption.
The bound Sakumo body looked at the opponent's shocked reaction, and finally the corner of his mouth curved into a smile that belonged to the winner.
"How can we make a cautious and cunning opponent like you really take the bait without using the main body?"
The voice fell.
As the real Core of Regeneration was held in Lightning Clone's hand, the Chakra connection with Puppet's body was cut off...
"Clang!"
"Crack!"
Without the core supply of Chakra and consciousness, whether it is the Third Kazekage Human Puppet that still lifts its robe to show the fake nucleus, or the body of the scorpion that binds Sakumo with its mechanical chains, it is like a puppet with its strings cut off, instantly losing all power and activity, falling down stiffly and heavily, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.
The metal chain came loose and Iron Sand disappeared.
Hatake Sakumo's body escaped easily and dusted itself off.
Lightning Clone took the Vessel containing the real Core of Regeneration and walked to the main body.
Sakumo lowered his head and looked at the slightly beating "core" in the Vessel in his hand, then looked at the two exquisite but cold Puppet remains that fell to the ground, and sighed softly.
"The victory has been decided. I feel your obsession. But the blood feud...
I'm sorry, I'm going to have a grandson soon, but I can't bear to die."
He shook his head and put Vessel away carefully.
