Upon seeing the two summoned beasts, Elder Chiyo and the others all showed signs of tension.
In team battles, these tough and resilient summoned beasts are a great counter to puppets!
Even in this predicament, Elder Chiyo still refused to compromise.
With a flick of her Chakra Threads, she controlled the Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets to break free of the sealed prison:
Check if anyone is injured!
Let's see how things are going with Bunpuku and Mukai!
I'll cover your breakout!
As she spoke, she directly controlled the two most defensively powerful minotaur golems.
While charging, they activated the mechanisms on the minotaur's body:
" Stampeding Bull Mountain-Crushing Strike!"
The two bull-headed golems, on all fours with their golem parts bulging, charged towards Fusa and his men's position like mad bulls.
The two bull-headed puppets unfurled semi-transparent shields, directly withstanding the flying Kunai and Ninjutsu, and crashed into them at lightning speed!
boom!
As the dust from the collision dissipated, the bull-headed puppet was unable to break through the barrier.
The giant sand scorpions and giant sand worms withstood the fierce impact.
Although both summoned beasts had head-sized wounds, they were unable to break through the barrier, Chiyo with no choice but to engage in a passive war of attrition.
"Hahaha, Elder Chiyo's temper is still as bad as ever."
Your resistance is futile!
Surrender now and I might show you mercy and spare your lives!
Before Chiyo could speak, she heard a gasp from behind her:
" Bunpuku... Bunpuku is dead!"
The child named Mukai has disappeared!
Chiyo's heart sank to the bottom.
They had originally hoped to awaken Bunpuku and allow him to temporarily Tailed Beast Transformation to break through this predicament.
Once they can leave the sealed temple, the resources and strength of their respective families are not much inferior to those of Fusha and his group.
But now even that last reliance is gone.
Chiyo had already given up hope, but her face showed no sign of panic.
She retrieved the bull-headed puppet, manipulated the Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets to form a battle formation, and looked straight ahead, saying:
" Rasa, will you choose to live and die with us, or make peace with those traitors?"
Standing atop a cloud of shimmering gold Gold Dust, Rasa's eyes were wide open, his voice filled with intense hatred:
" Elder Chiyo is joking. These traitors dared to assassinate our teacher. Even if I die here, I will not make peace with them!"
Chiyo sighed softly; now, the only person she could trust was Rasa.
Other puppet families and neutral families, if truly driven to desperation, would certainly choose to surrender rather than engage in futile resistance.
For them, replacing the Wind Kazekage with a different person wouldn't have much impact on their own family's interests.
It's just a pity about Mukai; she doesn't know how to explain it to Scorpion.
However, she might soon be going with them too.
"Then, take Rasa!"
I'll hold them off, you take down the summoned beast!
As Elder Chiyo controlled the Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets, they charged forward in coordination with Rasa's Gold Dust sand stream.
The elders of the other clans also displayed their ninja tools and Ninjutsu.
Fusa Yukimura's side naturally wouldn't back down either:
"Combination Ninjutsu, Wind Release: Great Wind and Sand Formation!"
A Wind Release ninjas, along with several Magnet Release ninjas of different attributes, jointly unleashed this wide-range Ninjutsu that swept up sand in a whirlwind.
" Magnet Release -- Gold Dust Waves!"
Rasa placed his hands on the ground, channeled his Chakra, and golden waves surged forth from in front of him.
He stirred up layers of Gold Dust, forming cascading Gold Dust that surged towards the Fusa Clan's allied forces.
"Sandworm, Spiral Assault!"
As ninjas from the same village, Fusa Yukimura was fully aware of Rasa and Chiyo's abilities.
Having planned for so long, they naturally have countermeasures in place.
The assassination attempt by the Puppet Family was originally part of the plan, but no one expected that Chiyo would possess secret mechanical skills.
For Rasa, who is skilled in group battles, his weakness lies in his lack of self-defense and the excessive lag in his attacks!
At Fusa Yukimura's feet, a large sand worm trembled, its mouthparts, filled with layers of sharp teeth, and burrowed directly into the sand.
After Rasa's Gold Dust Waves suppressed the Great Wind and Sand Formation, before Rasa could even catch his breath, he felt a tremor beneath his feet.
"It's a sandworm!"
Elder Chiyo tossed over two puppets connected by steel cables.
Using the acceleration from the swinging steel cable, the puppet at the far end directly grabbed Rasa, who couldn't dodge in time, and left her standing position.
"Click, click"
With a teeth-grinding scraping sound, the enormous sand worm leaped up from where Rasa had been standing!
Within those layers of mouthparts, sharp teeth vibrated and clashed, grinding even the stones in the sand to powder!
Before Rasa could even feel relieved after surviving the ordeal, he slammed his hands together in a violent clap:
" Sand Burial!"
The Gold Dust on both sides resembles two agile pythons, winding upwards and enveloping half of the sandworm's body.
As Rasa clenched his fist, Sha Jin suddenly shrank back, strangling the Gold Dust worm that had half its body emerging from the ground, causing it to scream in agony.
Just as he was exerting his strength, a gust of wind flashed by, Rasa dodged in Body Flicker Technique, thus interrupting the continuous damage of Sand Burial.
The sudden attack tore a hole in the front of Rasa's clothes.
With the help of Chiyo's puppet as cover, he finally saw that it was the black sand scorpion's stinger that was attacking.
And he also noticed something was wrong:
Elder Chiyo, something seems off about your puppet.
Could it be a joint...?
Chiyo controlled the Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets, whose movements were beginning to stiffen, to resist the rogue missing-nin led by Fushisa.
Hearing Rasa's question, he smiled slightly and said:
"That's exactly why the Third Kazekage had the confidence to suppress the puppet families."
In his view, Puppet Technique, which could be easily countered by Magnet Release, was nothing but a useless trifle.
Rasa felt somewhat embarrassed. He was also an accomplice who followed the Third Kazekage and spared no effort in suppressing the puppeteers of the Chiyo lineage.
Now, they actually need the help of these puppeteers they usually disregard to hold their own.
It has to be said, reality is quite ironic.
With two large summoned beasts acting as meat shields, the Fusa Alliance fought with even greater ease.
With the help of Magnet Release and Wind Release to create a fine sand environment, Elder Chiyo Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets became increasingly difficult.
As the two dual-wielding puppets leaped to dodge attacks from below and prepared to strike down, their raised arms were suddenly caught in the accumulated sand!
In battle, such a mistake is fatal!
" Earth Release - Earthen Mound Thrust!"
Fusa Ruru, who was nearly struck by the dual-wielding puppet, immediately unleashed Earthen Mound Thrust, piercing the puppet, which was stuck in mid-air, into a pile of fragments.
As he reformed the Hand Seals to draw Chakra, he asked his father:
"Father, if we kill Shukaku, we won't have Jinchūriki to use!"
How else can I obtain Magnet Release?
Fusa Yukimura commanded the giant sand worms to lash out at Rasa, who couldn't dodge in time, and calmly replied:
"Idiot, Tailed Beast are immortal beings. Even if they die along with their Jinchūriki..."
It will only take about a year to revive!
We can just recapture and seal them up when the time comes!
Kill Chiyo quickly!
Chiyo's Chikamatsu Ten Guards, leaving only six remaining.
She flicked her Chakra Threads, preparing to use the Three Treasures Suction Crush in a desperate attempt to break through the defenses, when she heard a familiar voice:
"I'm sorry, Mother-in-law, I'm late!"
Summoning Technique!
