The range of the Chakra Senbon attack was quite far, and Konan didn't have time to dodge.
Puff puff puff...
A thousand arrows piercing my heart!
"Dead? That's great... As expected of the Uchiha."
Miyui peeked out from behind the crumbling mud wall and looked at the sky; she had been truly terrified.
"Hehe... you're celebrating too soon," Sasori sneered, taking the opportunity to recover his Chakra with Konan taking over the fight.
Splash...
Konan's body transformed into countless pieces of paper that scattered and flew around, only to coalesce again in a different location.
"Immune to ordinary physical attacks... This is troublesome!"
Shisui quickly analyzed the situation and concluded that Susanoo was too much of a burden on his body and could not effectively damage the enemy.
'Lure the other party down first'
Thinking of this, Shisui turned to look at Sasori, who was secretly recovering not far away.
Sasori immediately guessed Shisui Uchiha's plan: 'Oh, so you think I'm an easy target? Tch!'
Although he was very unhappy, it was indeed the case; he seemed relatively easy to deal with, and the Third Kazekage's Human Puppet had already been put away.
Only a few dozen ordinary puppets remained in the scroll of the Red Secret Technique.
Seeing that the other side had brandished their weapons, apparently intending to engage in close Taijutsu, Scorpion stopped hiding and released all his puppets.
The cover on the right chest was lifted, and countless Chakra Threads shot out and connected to the puppet's body.
Clang! Clang! Clang!...
The puppets, wielding various weapons, swarmed towards the charging enemies.
Shisui took the lead; his Sharingan could accurately detect attacks from all directions and even see the puppet's joint centers.
A single, gentle strike can render a puppet incapable of moving.
On the Sunagakure side, Fuki, having mastered Earth Release: Hardening Technique, plunged into the horde of puppets. His punches, amplified by Earth Release, were incredibly powerful, easily shattering the puppets' heads into dust.
Baki used his fingers to emit Chakra, combined with Wind Release from his mouth, to create Wind Blade that severed the puppet's body.
Miyui, manipulates the silk threads to weave nimbly among the puppets, like weaving a spider web. After a few maneuvers, she pulls the threads to reel in the web, thus binding several puppets together tightly.
In short, each has its own unique skills.
Moreover, since they were mixed in with the puppets, Konan in the sky couldn't help them for the time being.
Scorpion's hands moved frantically, and the number of puppets decreased at a visible rate. If he weren't a puppet, he would definitely be covered in sweat.
These puppets are fine against ordinary people, but they're ineffective against enemies at the Jonin level.
They struggled for less than five minutes before being completely wiped out.
Ignoring the heartache, Scorpion hurriedly pulled out another scroll and shouted, "It's not over yet!!"
It has a feeling of a trapped beast struggling.
Two jets of intense heat shot out from his left and right palms, repelling the enemies who were closing in on him once again.
Perhaps only Scorpion himself knows just how critical the situation has become.
Miyui was slow to run, and her clothes caught fire. She rolled on the ground repeatedly. If Fuki hadn't used Earth Release to extinguish the flames at the crucial moment, she would have been burned alive.
She was covered in dust and looked very disheveled.
"Captain! Let's retreat..." Miyui was the first to break down.
Baki stood to the side without saying a word, but his face showed the same expression.
Sasori of the Red Sands is really too difficult to deal with. He has all sorts of tricks up his sleeve, as if he has a treasure chest hidden on him. Moreover, his willpower is extremely strong, and he becomes more and more frantic as the fight goes on.
' The Third Kazekage's death was not in vain.'
Fuki frowned, a thought of retreating creeping into his mind. He glanced at Shisui Uchiha beside him, about to speak...
puff...
Just then, the flames spewing from the scorpion's palm slowly diminished until they disappeared.
This change instantly sparked his speculation, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. "Could it be...?"
"That's right, his Chakra is gone!"
Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan was fixed on Sasori's Regeneration Core, clearly seeing that his Chakra was almost depleted. If it were completely exhausted, even his puppet body would not survive.
Upon hearing that Sasori had run out of Chakra, Baki Miyui instantly perked up.
Miyui stomped her foot and said angrily, "I almost got fooled by that Sasori guy, he's so cunning!"
For some reason, she thought of that guy named Orochimaru from earlier. If he could trick Sasori like this, wasn't he even more insidious?
'What kind of people are in this organization...?'
"Heh... we've been found out, you damned Uchiha!"
Scorpion reached up and touched his forehead. At this point, he decided to stop pretending and unfolded the two modified spiral blades on his waist—his final weapons.
For a puppeteer, close combat is tantamount to running out of options.
Suddenly his eyes snapped open, and he shouted, "Bring it on!"
"As you wish, the Body Flicker Technique."
Shisui Hand Seals and charged forward, creating more than ten clones as he ran, all attacking him together.
Ding ding ding...
As a puppeteer, Sasori was no match for Shisui Uchiha after Hiruko was crippled, and he was immediately in grave danger.
Swish swish swish...
Konan immediately flew down, but it wasn't her real body; instead, it was dozens of Paper Clone.
This technique is a physical Ninjutsu, disguised by the Paper Person of God, making it impossible to Sharingan. It is used against Water Body Flicker Technique, which creates clones that are both real and illusory.
In their first exchange, Konan understood the origin of the name " Body Flicker Shisui ".
She had already learned about this move through information provided by Aoki Tsuki and Sasori, but only after actually fighting it did she realize how troublesome it was.
The fact that her opponent could switch between real and illusory clones reminded her of Madara, who was just as unpredictable.
Shisui used the Sharingan's precise control to concentrate flames on the blade, allowing him to slash through the Paper Clone with a single blow and ignite it.
He just didn't expect that Konan had hidden Explosive Tag inside the Paper Clone.
" Clone Great Explosion "
Boom boom boom...
All the Paper Clone involved in the entanglement were simultaneously detonated, resulting in a carpet bombing.
Even if you can change your location at will, there must still be one of your true forms.
As the smoke cleared, a green skeletal giant appeared in the arena, one of its hands clutching the puppet body of 'Scorpion'. It turned out that Shisui had taken advantage of the situation to subdue the exhausted Scorpion.
"Your analysis is correct, but now your companion is in my hands."
" To Body Flicker Shisui —that's truly remarkable!"
Konan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "But I have more than one companion..."
thunderbolt...
Lightning flashed across the void, creating a waterfall—a swift, extreme blade strike.
" Rain Breathing - Heavenly Weeping!"
Click...
The arm of Susanoo holding Susanoo was severed by a single slash, then dissipated into Chakra.
Swish...
In a flash, a blue-haired man wearing a mask appeared not far away, carrying the body of a scorpion.
"So fast!!" Shisui exclaimed.
His Body Flicker Technique is mainly used to confuse opponents and catch them off guard. The newcomer's Body Flicker Technique is extremely fast, and it seems to be Lightning Body Flicker.
Even though the other person was wearing a mask, Shisui still recognized them.
'This guy has gotten stronger again; he can even sever the arm of Susanoo.'
At this moment, the three Sunagakure members hiding to the side began to have some doubts.
"Captain, something's wrong, let's retreat quickly," Miyui said softly.
I thought it was over when I saw Sasori being captured by Shisui Uchiha, but then another powerful enemy appeared. Things are developing in an unpredictable direction.
Who knows who else might suddenly appear next?
Baki finally broke his silence and chimed in, " Miyui is right. I believe Lord Kazekage will understand us."
Two of his men brought over a step; if they didn't take the step and get down the slope, they might really get stuck here.
Something's very wrong right now!
Fuki finally nodded in agreement. "The enemy is too powerful, exceeding our ability to cope. Even Body Flicker Shisui... In short, the mission objective has been basically achieved. Retreat!"
Swish, swish, swish...
The three of them swiftly retreated, each carrying the corpse of their Sunagakure comrade, without uttering a word.
Shisui Uchiha frowned, thinking, "These Sunagakure Village guys... they're so unreliable."
You should know that he was originally chasing Orochimaru, and he was helping Sunagakure capture Sasori of the Red Sands, but the victim himself got away.
What's going on here?
However, considering the style of Sunagakure, they are always the loudest but the quickest to back down, a typical thug.
Buzz...
Aoki Tsuki's hand glowed with a green light and was placed on Sasori's Regeneration Core, helping him quickly recover his Chakra.
"Brother Scorpion, cheer up! We'll need you next!"
Do you want to hear what you're saying?!
Scorpion was initially grateful for Aoki Tsuki's help, but upon hearing these words, he nearly vomited blood on the spot.
He's been fighting for ages, and he wants to keep going...
When we need him, he becomes 'Brother Scorpion,' whereas before he was always 'Brother Scorpion.'
Seeing this, Aoki Tsuki hurriedly explained, "Don't forget that the person opposite you is Shisui Uchiha. Only you are immune to the Genjutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan."
He was confident in his powerful mental energy and had long since developed an iron will, but he still felt apprehensive when faced with Shisui's deadly move.
Scorpions are different. They lack a brain and visual system, and their immunity relies on Genjutsu activated by the five senses. Even mental attacks have little impact on them.
It's like watching surveillance footage through a mobile phone; there's a filtering system.
Of course, the above is just Aoki Tsuki's speculation. It's possible that Sasori's soul is still hidden in the Regeneration Core, so he can't escape either.
"Someone's coming!" Konan, flying in the sky, warned.
Dozens of masked people surrounded them from all directions, exuding murderous intent and clearly harboring ill intentions.
"People from Root?" Shisui recognized these people at a glance.
The leader tossed a scroll to Shisui, saying, "Surround and kill the Akatsuki members with all your might. This is the Lord Hokage's order."
Shisui Uchiha opened the scroll with suspicion; the seal and the writing were genuine.
Although it's unknown how Danzo obtained the Hokage Order signed by the Third Hokage, this battle will likely continue.
