"It's Sand Clone!"
Arashiyama loudly roared, turned around and found that Hiruko had appeared ten meters away behind Kanpū, and that thick giant silently approaching Kanpū's head. At the next moment, it suddenly turned into a black awn and stabbed down.
"Be careful!!" Arashiyama screamed, but at the next moment, his scream sounded as if a male duck was pinched by the throat, and he didn't know whether he should continue to scream.
Beneath the giant steel tail, Kanpū's figure suddenly turns into a series of afterimages, like a moonlight projection, looking illusory.
'This is?!'
The group of Gekkō Clan's Shinobi has their eyes widened in disbelief.
'Konoha-Style Secret Art Kenjutsu: Moonlight?!'
The steel tail pierced through countless moonlight-like afterimages, hitting the ground heavily, and amidst the splashing of dirt, a sharp sword light flashed on the giant steel tail like a gleam of light! Immediately afterwards, there was a whistling sword cry with the blade breaking through the air!
"Huh?"
A hoarse and dull sound of surprise suddenly came from Hiruko. In the next instant, the thick giant steel tail cut in two by the sword and fell to the ground with a bang.
Kanpū was about to strike again, but at this time, the Moonlight Sword in his hand shattered into several pieces, like a broken mirror. Kanpū looked down and saw that only the hilt was left in his hand, with only a few centimeters of the blade left.
'It's broken? Is that steel tail that hard?'
Kanpū felt distressed, and hurriedly threw away the sword, then formed hand seals to use Hardening Technique, and then he threw up his small fist and hammered Hiruko's head fiercely.
With the effect of extraordinary strength, the terrifying force exploded in the air, and before the punch arrived, the wind from the punch seemed to be the first one that pressed down on Hiruko.
Boom!
Kanpū destroyed Hiruko's head cleanly with a punch, but there was only splashing gravel under the punch.
'Another Sand Clone!'
Kanpū is very irritated when he saw this.
At this moment, under Sasori's control, the Wild Fox's puppet quickly got rid of the entanglement of five Gekkō Clan's Chunin, and then use a Wind Release: Great Breakthrough to set off a strong wind.
When the hurricane stopped, Hiruko and Wild Fox's puppet had disappeared without a trace.
Only half of the severed giant steel tail remained in the field. Kanpū carefully picked up the tail and put it into a sealing scroll as a spoil of war.
"Is everyone alright? "
Arashiyama asked while still looking around vigilantly.
"Captain, I seem to be… poisoned."
One of the Chunin's face turned blue. After saying this, he fell straight down.
Everyone hurriedly gathered around him, removing the blood from the wound, feeding him detoxification pill, and using Healing Technique. But even after doing all that, they still couldn't save him.
"Damn it!!!"
"What a very terrifying poison…"
"Why doesn't the detoxification pill work at all!"
Everyone's faces were full of grief and anger.
Kanpū also squatted next to the poisoned Chunin with an ugly face. He frantically used Healing Technique just now, but it was of no use at all. He could only watch this unknown clansman die in front of his eyes.
Sasori's puppet technique is very terrifying, but his poison is just as ferocious and domineering. It may not be comparable to Chiyo's poison, but the point is that Sasori's poison has never appeared on the battlefield!
The detoxification pills used by Arashiyama and the others are the one developed by Tsunade during the Second Shinobi World War, which can detoxify the poison of Sunagakure's Shinobi, including Chiyo's, but these Sunagakure's Shinobi did not include Sasori. Therefore, the detoxification pill developed by Tsunade is naturally unable to detoxify Sasori's poison!
Arashiyama sealed the clansman's corpse into the sealing scroll with trembling hands, stood up and said: "The mission failed, let's go back."
"Yes!"
...
After reaching Konoha's main camp, Arashiyama came to the leader residence to meet Orochimaru.
"The mission failed?"
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly. "Are the two target Jōnin?"
"No, there is only one person. He is a very powerful puppet master, whose strength is definitely at Elite Jōnin Level, and his poison is also very terrifying. The detoxification pills in our hands can't detoxify his poison."
'A poison that even Tsunade's detoxification pills can't detoxify?'
Orochimaru sneered in his heart, 'It seems that the Sunagakure's Shinobi was really stimulated by Tsunade in developing the poison.'
'It's a pity that Tsunade can't appear on the frontline, otherwise, no matter what kind of poison is developed, it will be in vain.'
Orochimaru looked towards Arashiyama and said: "I will send others to follow up on this matter. The third assassination team will temporarily rest for a few days."
"Thank you, Orochimaru-sama. "Arashiyama bowed slightly.
"By the way, did Gekkō Kanpū also leave on this mission?"
Orochimaru suddenly asked.
Before leaving Konoha, Hiruzen and Danzō have asked him to pay more attention to Kanpū. Because of the transfer of power, strategic deployment, and the collection of experimental subjects, he almost forgot about this. It was until the two Amegakure's Shinobi coming here to ask for the corpses that he finally remembered Kanpū. Later, Orochimaru personally appeared in the earthen house to meet Kanpū, and even sent Root's Shinobi to monitor him because of this.
However, the monitoring process didn't discover Kanpū's 'specialty' at all, so Orochimaru withdrew the surveillance.
"Yes, he also went with us. "Arashiyama said.
"How was his performance?" "Orochimaru asked.
"Kanpū is very good! Not only he's good at Five-Attributes Ninjutsu, but he has also mastered Konoha-Style Kenjutsu!"
Orochimaru is now one of Konoha's Sannin, with a reputation like the sun at high noon, the Commander-in-Chief in this battlefield, and also a strong competitor for the Yondaime Hokage's position. Arashiyama can't help but say a few good words about Kanpū. With luck, it may leave a deeper and better impression in the mind of the Future Yondaime Hokage.
"Genius...?"
Orochimaru chuckled softly, and Kakashi's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
But soon after, a thought flashed through his mind.
'No!'
'Kakashi has shown talent far beyond ordinary people since he was a child, and he is also the son of Konoha's White Fang, so he has always been placed in high hopes!'
'But Gekkō Kanpū… I've never heard of him before this, so how come he suddenly become such a monster?'
'If something is strange, there must be a secret.'
Orochimaru waved his hand calmly and said: "You can go now."
"Yes!"
After Arashiyama left, Orochimaru immediately called the Root's Shinobi, and then asked them to send ten people to go to the mountain to track down the mysterious and powerful puppet master.
The purpose for Orochimaru's coming to the battlefield is very simple, it is to make merits, so he must win the war cleanly and neatly, and any unexpected factors must be strangled in the cradle in time!
...
In the next few days, the third assassination team had a rare time without mission. Everyone was recuperating from their wounds and basking in the sun, but their tense hearts could not be relaxed.
Kanpū has been running around, searching for friendship these few days, aiming at the Fire Release Shinobi to collect, and successfully collected two Great Dragon Flame Technique!
At noon on the fourth day, a middle-aged man slowly came to the camp of the third assassination team.
"Shisou!"
Tabako was sitting outside basking in the sun, and when she saw the visitor, she ran over in surprise, "Why are you here, Shisou?"
"I was free just now, so I come here to see you, Tabako-chan, how are you doing?" Kosuke asked with a smile.
Tabako lowered her head and said: "Shisou, I feel very useless…"
Kosuke sighed, needless to say, he knew that some members of the third assassination team must have died again.
But it is impossible to not have anyone dead in a war. For example, more than 50 people in the first assassination team have died, and the second assassination team only has three people left. If it wasn't for Orochimaru bringing a lot of Shinobi and added ten people to that team, the second assassination team would have been disbanded.
So in comparison, the third assassination team is already very tenacious!
Kosuke said: "This is a battlefield. The purpose of bringing you here is to sharpen you, not to see you depressed, Tabako-chan, you have to cheer up!"
"I understand, Shisou." Tabako said with a nod.
"In addition to seeing you today, I will also give pointers on your training. "Kosuke is going to do something to divert the attention of his disciple.
Unexpectedly, just as he said that, someone suddenly ran over: "Uncle Kosuke, please give me some pointers!"
