A Battle Between Grandmother and Grandson, Part Four

Numerous ninja tools were stuck in the ground. Tenten was panting heavily, large drops of sweat sliding down her face, but Tenten couldn't relax for a moment. She kept her eyes fixed on the imposter Tenten opposite her. The imposter Tenten seemed tireless, her breathing was perfectly steady, and she wasn't sweating at all. Tenten realized that this couldn't go on. Soon, her Chakra would be exhausted, and she would have no choice but to surrender.

Compared to Tenten, Rock Lee was in a much better situation. He was full of energy and kept colliding with the fake Rock Lee in the woods, kicking up dust and breaking many branches as they bumped into each other.

Might Guy was in a similar situation, constantly battling the imposter Might Guy, shouting, "You're still a long way off!" and relentlessly charging at the Might Guy, with neither side gaining the upper hand for the time being.

As for Neji, more than a dozen round craters appeared on the ground, created by Neji using the Rotation. At this moment, Neji was panting as he fought the imposter Neji, occasionally using his Byakugan to check for any openings, and also observing the battle situation of the others, reporting back to the other three.

When Chiyo saw Sasori of the Red Sand use this move, she knew she was in trouble and quickly controlled Sakura to retreat. The next second, the spot where Sakura had been was completely submerged by the arm. The arm plunged into the ground, kicking up countless clouds of dust.

Sasori of the Red Sand hadn't expected that Chiyo would dodge his sudden attack. He said, "Damn old hag, it seems that if I don't deal with you, you'll really be a big problem." He swung his hands violently, and the joint of his left arm broke. Countless arms stretched out, intertwined, twisted, and rushed towards Chiyo. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of Chiyo and grabbed Chiyo directly.

At the same time, numerous arms in front of Sakura rose directly from the ground, intertwining and continuing to grab at Sakura.

Chiyo nimbly dodged backward while simultaneously controlling Sakura, who also hurriedly retreated. Bang! Numerous arms pierced the ground, but both Chiyo and Sakura successfully evaded the attack.

At this moment, Chiyo was slightly out of breath, and large drops of sweat dripped from her forehead. After all, Chiyo was old. Not only did she have to dodge the attacks herself, but she also had to control Sakura to avoid them. Even Chiyo was exhausted after completing such a difficult move.

Seeing that Chiyo and Sakura had both dodged his attack, Sasori of the Red Sand swung his hands violently. Many arms in front of Sakura rose from the ground again, intertwining and twisting, directly grabbing at Sakura. Chiyo pulled her Chakra Threads sharply, pulling Sakura backward.

At that moment, numerous arms rose up from the ground in front of Chiyo. Chiyo's heart tightened, and she prepared to dodge. However, the numerous arms did not attack Chiyo. Instead, they rushed towards Sakura and grabbed at Sakura.

Boom! Sakura had no time to dodge and was immediately enveloped by the arms. Numerous arms pierced the ground, and dust billowed up everywhere.

Chiyo called out worriedly, "Sakura..."

As the dust settled, Sakura found herself nestled among the many arms, narrowly escaped. Although her clothes were torn, she was unharmed. Looking at the arms with lingering fear, Sakura thought to herself, "I'm saved."

Chiyo moved her hands slightly, pulling Sakura out of the encirclement of arms. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sakura was alright.

Seeing that he had failed to hit Sakura, Sasori of the Red Sand said, "How about this move?" A cylinder extended from among the many arms and sprayed a large amount of poisonous mist at Sakura, instantly enveloping Sakura in it.

Chiyo shouted, "Oh no, Sakura, hold your breath!"

Chiyo looked at Sakura in the poisonous fog and asked anxiously, "Sakura, what's wrong?" She moved her hands slightly, trying to pull Sakura out of the poisonous fog.

Sasori of the Red Sand, unfazed that his poison mist hadn't dealt a fatal blow to Sakura, said with amusement, "So, you have another trick up your sleeve. Let me show you my new poison." Another cylinder extended from his arm, spraying out a large amount of venom.

Chiyo was startled and, controlling Sakura, rushed out of the poisonous fog, narrowly avoiding the venom. The venom sprayed onto the ground, hissing and corroding it, creating numerous pits. Chiyo and Sakura were shocked; if they had been a moment later, Sakura would definitely be dead.

Chiyo, worried that Sasori of the Red Sand might still have some poison, subtly moved her fingers, controlling Sakura to return to her side.

Sakura, puzzled, looked at Chiyo and said, "Granny Chiyo, you..."

Chiyo smiled slightly and said, "Sakura, leave the rest to me. It's all over now." She reached out and took out two scrolls, summoning two puppets from them. They were "Father" and "Mother," created by Sasori of the Red Sand. Chiyo recalled the first time she taught Sasori this puppet game, and the first time Sasori created these two puppets. Chiyo knew that Sasori longed for parental love, but she couldn't give it to him. She remembered how Sasori had successfully created these two puppets, controlling them to walk towards her step by step, embracing her in his arms, and the genuine joy he felt.

Sasori of the Red Sand narrowed his eyes and said nostalgically, "Old woman, I didn't expect you still had these two puppets. But do you think you can defeat me with them? After all, I created these two puppets, and I know them very well."

Chiyo said, "That's not necessarily true." She waved her hands, and with a series of snaps, the two puppets clasped hands together, pulling out a thread that rushed to their arms.

With a slight movement of its hands, the Sasori of the Red Sand Scorpion unleashed numerous arms that shot up from the ground, grabbing at the two puppets. The puppets twisted the steel wire around the arms, severing them instantly. They continued twisting the wire along the remaining arms, until soon all the puppets' outstretched arms were severed.

Seeing that his mechanism had been destroyed by Chiyo's puppet, Sasori of the Red Sand broke his joints. Then, he used his right hand to unleash a long whip covered in barbs that gleamed with a cold purple light, clearly coated with poison. From his left hand, a circular saw extended and began to spin.

Seeing this, Chiyo whispered, "Sakura, wait for your chance and use your Chakra Enhanced Strength to shatter Sasori's puppet." After saying that, she controlled the two puppets. A long whip appeared in the left hand of the male puppet, covered with sharp spikes. A long sword appeared in the right hand of the female puppet, and the two puppets charged directly at Sasori of the Red Sand.

Sasori of the Red Sand also controlled his puppets to rush forward. The male puppet's long whip clashed repeatedly with the Third Kazekage Puppet's long whip, while the female puppet's longsword clashed with the circular saw on the puppet's left arm. Clang, clang, clang, the three puppets collided in mid-air, rapidly attacking each other.

Sakura stared at the puppets with a serious expression, barely able to make out the movements of the three puppets.
