Puppet is a Ninja Tool made from various wood, metal, machine brackets, gears, and even dead people!
The Gekkō clansmen have encountered a poisonous puppet, puppets with built-in Explosive Tags, and puppets with various insidious Ninja Tools, but they have never encountered puppets that can use Ninjutsu!
This is completely beyond their understanding!
But since the two sides have already started the battle, they naturally have no reason to shrink back.
Except for Kanpū, the remaining Gekkō Clan's Shinobi all trained Konoha-Style Kenjutsu. Therefore, after avoiding the Wind Cutter Technique, all Gekkō Clan's Shinobi including Arashiyama, who failed his previous attack, immediately rushed towards the Wild Fox's puppet in a semicircle.
Under the setting sun, the clear sword light was like a glimmer of light, sketching beautiful traces in mid-air, and falls onto the Wild Fox's puppet one after another, ready to tear him apart!
But Sasori has already transformed the Wild Fox's body, so now, the muscles on its body were as tough as cow leather. When the nine sword blades pierced into its body, they got stuck on Wild Fox's muscles for a while.
But there are exceptions.
Tabako's Shūsui is a powerful sword, and it severed Wild Fox's right forearm with a strong stir.
However, a thick jet of black smoke suddenly spewed out from the wound of the severed arm, which instantly filled a radius of several meters in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, Tabako and the others immediately escaped from the black smoke range.
At the same time, Kanpū also formed hand seals: "Fūton: Daitoppa!" (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough)
The hurricane whistled, and the black smoke that filled dozens of meters was suddenly blown by the wind towards Wild Fox's puppet.
However…
Behind the Wild Fox's puppet, a hidden Chakra thread instant lased and landed on the right forearm that was severed by Tabako. At the same time, Wild Fox's puppet picked up the right forearm with his left hand and placed it directly on the stump of his right arm, and accompanied by a squeaking sound, the severed right hand instantly became intact again.
Fūton: Daitoppa!
Wild Fox's puppet formed hand seals at a very fast speed, and spewed a hurricane that was far superior than Kanpū's, causing the thick black smoke to immediately turn around and moved towards Kanpū.
Kanpū's heart froze. Although Wild Fox has become a puppet, his Wind Release Ninjutsu still completely retains the formidable power when he is still alive. Based on the strength of Kanpū's Wind Release at this time, even with the bonus from his cheat, he is still unable to compete with the Jōnin's Wind Release.
Fortunately, Kanpū is not fighting alone.
When the Wind Release of one person and one puppet collided, the nine Gekkō Clan's Shinobi had already shot towards Wild Fox's puppet from both sides.
"The puppet's body is very tough, cut off the Chakra Threads!" Arashiyama shouted sharply.
After the words fall, nine sword light instant slashed towards behind the Wild Fox's puppet.
Suddenly.
Whoosh!
Accompanied by the piercing sound of breaking through the air, a ferocious giant steel tail suddenly rose from the grass behind Wild Fox's puppet. Like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, the steel tail ferociously shot towards… Tabako!
"Be careful!"
Arashiyama hurriedly used his sword to block the steel tail, and he was blown away by the giant steel tail with a 'duang'!
At the same time, under the control of Sasori, Wild Fox's puppet is retreating like catkins in the storm, but the ferocious giant steel tail didn't just stagnate in the air, and once again shot ferociously towards Tabako!
Tabako's complexion changed slightly. Just when she waved Shūsui, she felt a huge shock from the sword, and her whole body seemed to be hit by a meteorite, and she couldn't help but retreat backwards!
The seven Gekkō Clan's Shinobi next to her kept moving, and as their figures flickered, they already surrounded Wild Fox's puppet and Hiruko, who is hiding in the grass!
The knocked away Arashiyama also flickered to the encirclement immediately, and join the others to besiege the two puppets.
Kanpū hurriedly flashed to Tabako's side: "Tabako-nee, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Tabako gritted her teeth.
Kanpū looked down and found that her right hand, that was holding Shūsui, is still trembling. A faint trace blood overflowed from her hand, flowed into the sword body along the hilt, and finally gathered on the tip of the sword and dripped to the ground.
Kanpū immediately grabbed her hand and used Healing Technique.
At the same time, the battle on the opposite side has also heated up.
Sasori controls Hiruko and Wild Fox's puppet at the same time. The giant steel tail is still in the air, poisonous needles shot towards the sky, Wind Release Ninjutsu whistle, and there are also Explosive Tags swaying in the sky from time to time. The continuous explosion makes the whole mountain tremble!
"So strong!"
Tabako looked Hiruko and Wild Fox's puppet, her eyes looked solemn: 'That person actually fought eight Gekkō Clan's Shinobi by themself!'
'The strength of this puppet master is probably not much lower than that of Sunagakure's Hero, Pakura.'
Kanpū, who is using Healing Technique next to her, sighed with emotion in his heart. Since his cheap father was crippled, Gekkō Clan's strongest expert is only at Tokubetsu Jōnin Level. Among these eight Gekkō Clan's Shinobi in front of him, including Arashiyama, there are only three people with Tokubetsu Jōnin combat strength, and the rest are just Chunin Level. As for Sasori's strength… The two sides are not at the same starting point at all!
However…
Kanpū looked down at Shūsui on Tabako's right hand, and a thought flashed through his mind.
'Sasori be very proud of fighting eight people at the same time. If I used Shūsui to ambush him with extraordinary strength… No, the reason Sasori had controlled Hiruko's giant tail to attack Tabako-nee before must be because he saw Shūsui severed Wild Fox's right arm. If I picked up Shūsui, Sasori would definitely not dare to fight me head-on!'
'It seems that in the critical moment, I still need to depend on my own Moonlight Sword.'
Seeing that Tabako's hand was no longer bleeding, Kanpū immediately took out his Moonlight Sword from the sealing scroll.
"Kanpū, what are you going to do?" Tabako looked at Kanpū in surprise.
Kanpū smiled and said: "You may not believe it, but I am actually very strong."
"Huh?" Tabako looked puzzled.
In the next moment, Kanpū had already flickered and disappeared. When he reappeared, he has already stood behind Hiruko. He swung the Moonlight Sword and slashed at Hiruko's giant steel tail simply and roughly.
However, Hiruko's steel giant tail is extremely flexible. With a bend, it directly dodges Kanpū's slash, that was powered with extraordinary strength, and then it shot towards Kanpū like a swallowing python.
Kanpū's face changed slightly when he saw this: 'Isn't this Sasori too cautious?'
Shunshin no Jutsu! (Body Flicker Technique)
At the critical moment, Kanpū instantly flickered to ten meters away.
The giant steel tail pierced Kanpū's afterimage left in place, and it hit the grass heavily, splashing mud and debris all over the sky!
Seeing this, Arashiyama's complexion changed, 'Kanpū is too impulsive. If something happened to him, how could I explain it to Hoshino-sama?'
While Arashiyama was distracted, Hiruko's mouth was opened, and countless poisonous needles turned into a dense torrent of steel and shot towards Arashiyama.
Arashiyama hurriedly tried to calm down, but the speed of this 'needles rain' is too fast, and it is too late for him to dodge.
At the critical moment, Arashiyama does not retreat but advances instead. Turning into countless afterimages, he brazenly approached Hiruko in the face of the dense torrent of steel!
"Konoha-Style - Moonlight!"
The dense torrent of steel that is composed of poisonous needles passed through the countless afterimages of Arashiyama, brutally piercing a huge rock in the distance, but it couldn't stop Arashiyama!
At the same time, among the remaining seven Gekkō Clan's Shinobi, five Chunin consciously entangled Wild Fox's puppet, and the other two Tokubetsu Jōnin is focusing on Hiruko.
"Konoha-Style – Thunder Dance!"
"Konoha-Style – Slashing Wind!"
Lightning burst, azure sword light whistled and flew, and Arashiyama's Moonlight is like an abscess attached to the bone, and the three people's Konoha-Style Kenjutsu Secret Art slashed Hiruko's body almost at the same time. (T/N: Abscess attached to the bone is a Chinese idiom, which means something that is persistently aggravating but difficult to remove.)
Boom!
The gravel flew, and Hiruko's lovable body seemed unable to bear the heavy attacks of three wild men, and was directly beaten into sand!
When Arashiyama and the other two saw this, their expressions become more and more ugly!
