A series of major battles, followed by a sudden explosion.
Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade all appeared to be in a disheveled state, covered in wounds.
Mobilizing his dwindling Chakra, Jiraiya asked in a deep voice, "A formal member of Akatsuki?!"
Deidara paused for a moment, then chuckled, "You don't actually think of me and Sasori as those petty thieves and imposters, do you?"
Deidara tugged at his uniform. "Looks like I need to talk to the leader about changing the style of our uniforms."
Just as Deidara was talking to himself, the sunlight overhead was blocked by a large shadow, which continued to grow larger.
"Bang!!!"
Gamabunta's enormous size descended from the sky, landing squarely where Deidara was standing, kicking up a cloud of dust!
" Lady Tsunade."
Countless Katsuyu, each the size of a thumb, burst forth from the ground and merged in front of Tsunade into a massive body the size of Gamabunta.
Meanwhile, Orochimaru Manda escaped the center of the explosion by shedding its skin, and its enormous snake head emerged from the ground!
" Jiraiya, who are they?!"
Tsunade stood atop the Katsuyu's head, her chest heaving.
If it weren't for the Yin Seal, Tsunade might have already collapsed.
"There's no time to explain," Jiraiya warned in a deep voice. "These two are not simple characters. Be careful of Tsunade."
"Excellent, excellent!"
Deidara, who had dodged Gamabunta's attack using his Earth Clone, looked up at the two and laughed loudly, "If it were really over in one shot, that would be too boring."
"I haven't yet shown you all my beautiful art."
"Swish, swish, swish,"
A faint, subtle sound, amplified continuously in my ears.
When Tsunade and Jiraiya looked down in the direction of the sound, countless tiny centipedes and white spiders surged up from the feet of the two summoning beasts like a tide!
not good!
Realizing something was wrong, the two quickly jumped up!
"Drink!!"
With Deidara's soft shout, a flurry of Kakkō flashed and explosions rang out one after another!
Not only that, the clay birds were closing in on Jiraiya and Tsunade in mid-air at an astonishing speed!
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Jiraiya's forehead. He leaned slightly towards Tsunade, his mouth bulging as he instantly formed hand Hand Seals: " Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
A raging fire dragon danced, its ferocious body swooping down!
Its fiery red body swayed, devouring all the Clay Bird!
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Sparks exploded in mid-air, and visible red heat waves rippled outwards in all directions from the sky!
Jiraiya held Tsunade, their long white hair wrapping around them as they resisted the aftershocks.
His golden, topknot-like hair was bent into a crooked fringe by the heatwave. Gazing at the dazzling Kakkō above, Deidara wore a mesmerizing smile, "Beautiful and fleeting, that's true art!"
The surging heatwave from high above swept down to the ground, blowing up the mask on the scorpion's face and revealing the patchwork marks between its jaw and teeth.
"A puppet, not a real person?!"
The hood atop the head of the Manda let out a startled cry.
Orochimaru's deep gaze swept over Sasori below, a hint of doubt in his expression.
What puzzled them wasn't the scorpion's disguised puppet, but rather everything before them.
Is it still under that person's control...?
" Orochimaru! Why are there so many troublesome guys coming one after another?!"
"Don't even think about getting my hands dirty this time without five hundred human sacrifices!"
The low growl of Manda interrupted Orochimaru's thoughts.
Orochimaru's voice was hoarse, "Deal with the enemy before you, and I'll give you a thousand human sacrifices afterwards!"
It's a deal!
With a twist of its body, the giant tail, comparable to a Manda, slammed into the scorpion's slender body with a whistling sound!
"Boom!"
The strike left a trench tens of meters long in the ground, but the scorpion was nowhere to be seen.
"Your fate was sealed the moment you fled the organization."
"Don't struggle, just obediently become an eternal art in my hands."
" Hiruko: Senbon Prosthetic Hands!"
When Orochimaru and his companion turned around, a cylindrical wooden barrel was floating in front of them.
As the two bent down to Setsuna, a crisp sound of gears turning echoed from the center of the wooden barrel, and countless silver needles rained down like a storm!
"Put-put-put!"
The countless needles pierced the entire massive head of the Manda!
From a distance,
It's like a silver construction safety helmet tightly fastened to a snake's brain.
It sparkles and shines under the sunlight!
As Orochimaru and Kabuto landed on the ground, Sasori's eerie voice came from behind them.
"Without your hands, how much skill do you still have..."
The scorpion, naked from the waist up, revealed its true form from the initial appearance of the Hiruko.
Red hair, a slender body, and a delicate face with an utterly indifferent expression.
They were like robots, showing no trace of human emotion.
Orochimaru, with blood at the corner of his mouth, stood with his hands hanging limply to the ground, covered in dust.
Despite being at a significant disadvantage, he remained calm on the surface!
Orochimaru licked his lips, his vertical pupils slightly wide, and said defiantly to Sasori, "Even if you can't use Ninjutsu, you alone aren't enough."
Sasori was not angry upon hearing this, and his expression did not change at all. He slowly raised his hands and aimed them at Orochimaru and Kabuto.
"Scroll - Flame Prison Formation!"
Click click,
With a crisp sound, two black pipes emerged from the scorpion's palm, from which scorching hot lava gushed forth!
As Orochimaru and Kabuto dodged, Sasori's hand moved accordingly, the scorching heat following closely beneath Orochimaru's feet!
Wherever it passed, the earth and boulders were instantly eroded into pools of molten water as the lava flow swept across them.
" Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets!"
Hundreds of puppets dressed in red robes surrounded the two fleeing figures from all directions.
Although Orochimaru's strength was no longer at its peak, Sasori was somewhat aware of his ability to escape.
Having finally found his target, Sasori didn't want Orochimaru to escape due to momentary carelessness.
With endless steel cables connecting his lower abdomen and back, Sasori's body moved rapidly on the cables while constantly waving hundreds of Chakra Threads in his hands!
So strong!!
As Dou fled in a disheveled state, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly!
A puppeteer must dedicate a portion of their mind to controlling each puppet!
Controlling the puppet's movement with the Chakra Threads in hand, and engaging in battle.
This is even harder than having a clone that can multitask!
Given Kabuto's intelligence capabilities, there isn't a single puppeteer in the current Shinobi World who can perfectly control a two-digit number of puppets.
It's unheard of for someone like Scorpion to control hundreds of puppets!
If Lord Orochimaru were in his prime, Kabuto wouldn't be worried.
But now...
With hundreds of puppets surrounding them, Orochimaru and Kabuto's hiding space was shrinking.
Damn it! What do we do now?!
The unease in Dou's eyes began to intensify.
"Boom!!!"
A giant fist enveloped in bluish-green Chakra!
With a single, powerful blow, dozens of puppets shattered into pieces!
A 100-meter-tall Susanoo joins the battle!
A faint glimmer of light finally appeared in Orochimaru's calm eyes.
at the same time,
On the plains and hillsides, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Sasuke, and the other little ones stared at each other, their eyes wide open.
One side is confused and the other side is embarrassed.
