"Whoosh!"
With a whooshing sound, Shin'un saw several sharp iron chains about to pierce his back and quickly jumped away.
"Thud!"
Several iron chains fell along their original trajectory, immediately embedding themselves deeply into the rocky ground.
"Phew~"
Having dodged all the attacks from the iron chains, Shin'un had just regained his footing when he suddenly heard a whooshing sound behind him.
Turning his head, he saw that the puppet wielding twin swords from the Chikamatsu Ten Puppets had already arrived behind him, its twin swords aimed directly at the back of Shin'un's neck.
Damn it!
Upon seeing this, Shin'un couldn't help but swear, quickly dodging to the left and successfully causing his twin swords to miss.
The dual-sword puppet slashed at the air beside Shin'un, and then unleashed its next attack in an instant.
Before he could even stand up straight, his left arm bent outward at a ninety-degree angle, an inhuman gesture, and the blade of his long sword suddenly thrust towards Shin'un.
Seeing this, Shin'un was surprised, but it was also within his expectations.
After all, the enemy in front of us is a puppet, so it's normal for him to use attacks that violate human physiology.
He raised his right hand, and a Kunai him even noticing.
"Clang!"
Using Kunai to parry the incoming longsword, the immense force transmitted through it caused Shin'un to feel a tingling sensation in his palm, even while in his Lightning Body Flicker form.
At the same time, thanks to the slowed perspective granted by [ Extreme Reaction ], Shin'un clearly observed that the Kunai in his hand had only blocked one attack from the dual-sword puppet, and a deep crack had already appeared on it.
Clearly, the seemingly slender arms of the dual-sword puppet were not only incredibly strong, but the two swords in its hands were also extremely sharp.
Looking at the Kunai in his hand that was about to break, Shin'un silently began to mobilize his Chakra.
He swung his Kunai to parry another attack from the twin-sword puppet in front of him.
As the Kunai was severed, Shin'un's Ninjutsu was already prepared.
Lightning Release: Miniature Lightning Spear!
Raising his arm, Shin'un raised his Lightning Spear to attack the long sword slashing towards him.
"Sizzle~"
The hum of electricity suddenly filled the air, and the contest between the needle and the wheat awn ended with Shin'un's victory.
At the cost of leaving a small cut on the tip of his middle finger, Shin'un directly cleaved the long sword in two from the right hand of the dual-sword puppet.
Along with severing the longsword, Shin'un's Miniature Lightning Spear in his right hand continued its advance without stopping, piercing straight through the chest of the twin-sword puppet.
Unfortunately, the long sword in the left hand of the dual-sword puppet was already slashing down, Shin'un had to quickly dodge, failing to split the dual-sword puppet in two like the bull-headed puppet.
After all, it wasn't a living thing. Although being pierced through the chest would affect the dual-wielding puppet's normal movements, it wasn't enough to render it useless.
Of course, the Miniature Lightning Spear in Shin'un's hand had not yet dissipated, and it would only take a moment to deal with the dual-sword puppet in front of him.
"Um?"
With this thought in mind, Shin'un was about to launch an attack, the dual-sword puppet seemed to be pulled by several invisible ropes from behind, flying straight towards Chiyo, who was not far away.
Upon seeing this, Shin'un immediately realized that Chiyo, who was in the distance, was probably about to destroy the dual-sword puppet and used Chakra Threads to drag it back.
Or perhaps...
The thought had barely crossed Shin'un's mind when he saw Chiyo in the distance clasp her hands together, forming Hand Seals.
" The Three Treasures Suction Crush!"
Instantly, Chakra fluctuation appeared, and a tremendous attraction began to emanate from behind Shin'un.
The moment he saw Chiyo Hand Seals, Shin'un used his Lightning Body Flicker to move dozens of meters to the left and forward, but in the end, he still couldn't escape the attractive force of the Three Treasures Suction Crush.
Driven by attraction, Shin'un is unable to move forward.
Left with no other choice, Shin'un stopped, gathering Chakra to adhere to the ground beneath his feet, while simultaneously glancing behind him.
Three figures of the Chikamatsu Ten Puppets "Buddha," "Dharma," and "Sangha" in their mouths, formed a triangular formation, and a suction force began to emerge from the gap in the middle of the formation.
The suction force grew increasingly powerful, drawing in massive objects such as half-human-sized boulders, puddles of water on the ground, and the unfortunate Sand Ninja and Konoha Ninja in the distance, all of which were pulled into the gap between the three puppets.
In the gap where the attraction is emanating, the powerful attraction is transformed into immense pressure, compressing even a boulder half a person's height into the size of a human head.
Such compression is harmless to inanimate objects, but if a human being were compressed into a ball of flesh, it would logically not survive.
With no other option, Shin'un could only squat down, grit his teeth, and firmly grip the ground beneath his feet, daring not to move.
At the same time, Shin'un stretched out his hands and began to Hand Seals.
On the other side, Chiyo saw that, just as she had planned, Shin'un successfully been rendered immobile by the Three Treasures Suction Crush. She immediately narrowed her eyes and quickly waved her hands in the air.
In an instant, the remaining nine Chikamatsu Ten Puppets moved simultaneously.
Some spat out iron balls covered in Explosive Tag, some shot out sharp whips from above their heads, and some threw out their twin swords...
The next moment, several powerful attacks rapidly approached Shin'un.
Shin'un, who was within the range of the Three Treasures Suction Crush, remained expressionless, coldly watching the various attacks slowly approaching in front of him, his Chakra rapidly circulating within his body.
Lightning Release: Small Lightning Chain Prison!
Shin'un opened his left palm, and as his Chakra rapidly depleted, a solid ball of lightning instantly condensed in his palm, from which dozens of lightning chains surged forth.
"Splash~"
Faintly, one could hear the clanging of real chains.
"Boom!"
The lightning chains extended outwards to block the attacks launched by Chiyo's puppets.
Of the various attacks, only the iron ball covered in Explosive Tag made a significant noise, but in the end it only left a crater in the ground and failed to harm Shin'un in the slightest.
Immediately afterwards, Shin'un clasped his hands together and used the lightning ball in his left palm to control the lightning chains that extended outwards to quickly lengthen and split, rapidly forming a complete Lightning Release: Lightning Chain Prison.
Although a few lightning chains broke while withstanding the attack, it was insignificant.
After all, as long as he has enough Chakra, Shin'un can quickly repair any of the Lightning Chain Prison chains that make up the Lightning Lock.
"This!"
"Another Lightning Release Ninjutsu I've never seen before!"
Not far away, Chiyo witnessed Shin'un successfully blocking all attacks with his lightning chains and controlling them to form a lightning prison with lightning speed.
Looking at the Thunder Lock that had trapped her all around, Chiyo took a deep breath, moved her hands to move the remaining puppets (excluding those that Three Treasures Suction Crush) in front of her, and then looked at Shin'un, who was unable to move due to the Three Treasures Suction Crush.
"Click!"
The attraction from the Three Treasures Suction Crush behind him continued, and with a strange sound, the rocky ground beneath Shin'un's feet began to shake.
Sensing this, Shin'un slightly moved his left palm, causing the surface of the lightning sphere suspended above it to shimmer.
With a thought, several lightning chains descended from the top of the lightning lock. One of the lightning chains came behind Shin'un, quickly wrapped Chikamatsu Ten Puppets of the Jin Song group who were chanting "Dharma," and abruptly pulled them out of the triangular formation that the Three Treasures Suction Crush.
Instantly, the attraction vanished, and Shin'un felt a wave of relief wash over him.
Exhaling, Shin'un stood up and controlled the other lightning chains hanging from above to wrap around his waist, pulling him into the air.
Looking down, Shin'un glanced at Chiyo, Chikamatsu Ten Puppets, her face solemn, and a smile appeared on his face.
