"Tailed Beast Technique: Fierce Ox Horn!"
Moqian suddenly surged up from underwater, driving two enormous horns formed from cursed energy straight at Sasori.
Sasori did his best to dodge, but the pitch-black water kept him from avoiding them completely.
Bang!
Sasori was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.
Although Sasori had used a great many precious materials for his body, plenty of parts still scattered under the violent impact.
But Sasori already knew the battlefield put him at a disadvantage, so he simply used the force to leap onto the iron sand disc created by the Third Kazekage Puppet, cutting his losses as quickly as possible.
Next, he would seize air superiority and launch a new offensive.
Moqian, however, had other ideas!
It's just an aerial battle. You think I'm scared of you?!
She immediately shot out of the water and into the sky. Her second face turned into a beetle's, and six transparent insect wings grew from her body.
Bzz!
Moqian's figure flashed through the air, and she appeared behind Sasori.
In terms of aerial mobility, Moqian now completely outclassed Sasori's puppets!
Sasori was immediately put on the back foot. Under his control, the Third Kazekage Puppet and the Red-Clothed Puppet repeatedly blocked Moqian's charges and attempted to counterattack.
But once Moqian picked up speed, the only attack Sasori could rely on was the Third Kazekage Puppet's Magnet Release.
The two fought to a stalemate, but neither brought out their last-ditch trump cards, each waiting for the other to move first.
After they remained deadlocked for a while, Deidara fled, leaving Shinji free.
Clap!
Shinji lightly clapped his hands, and Sasori vanished eerily from his original position, then abruptly appeared before Shinji.
A Hexagonal Blood Crystal appeared on the iron sand disc where Sasori had been.
