Chiyo returned to the room to take her puppet. Looking at her posture, it seemed that she was ready to teach the shameless Zhang Miao a good lesson, while Baki looked at Karasu's remains not far away and hesitated.
He couldn't decide.
Baki really wanted to walk away. He felt that he was only here to retrieve a working puppet, not to collect junk. If he brought this pile of remains back, it would really be embarrassing.
But from a rational point of view, he thought that he should go pick up Karasu's remains. After all, even if the puppet was broken, Kankuro could still use it.
Since Karasu was one of Chiyo's puppets, even just the remains would still be precious. It was more valuable than other puppets from ordinary puppet maker.
Thinking of this, Baki's reason finally defeated his self-esteem. Taking advantage of the time when Chiyo returned to the room, he immediately took out a cloth bag and went forward to collect all of Karasu's remanis.
His movements were very fast, and in a short while, he put all the remains of Karasu into a cloth bag, and then tied it with a rope.
After Baki finished the cleaning work, Chiyo was back with another puppet.
The puppet that Chiyo took out this time was a puppet with six arms, a body longer than Karasu, and a big belly.
Zhang Miao recognized this puppet at a glance. It was the dedicated puppet to capture enemies - Kuroari!
In the original plot, Kankuro used this puppet to catch Sakon nad Ukon who had forced Kiba to a dead end, and then combined it with Karasu to use the Black Secret Art : Iron Maiden.
After seeing this puppet, Zhang Miao knew that Chiyo had calculated the outcome. She wanted to give Baki both Karasu and Kuroari for Kankuro to use.
As for why she didn't just give them directly to Baki, Zhang Miao didn't care. For him, his task was to chop Chiyo's puppets into pieces!
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao smiled at Chiyo.
"Hehe, granny, Kuroari is used to catch people, but if you want to catch my Swordmaster, it is still far from enough. Watch my move!"
After Zhang Miao shook his hands, ten chakra threads emerged from his fingers and immediately connected to Swordmaster. At this moment, the red mantis puppet on the ground immediately came back to life and rushed towards Chiyo. It saimed its blades towards Kuroari.
Seeing this scene, Chiyo also laughed.
"Haha, not bad, not bad. You have already learned how to sneak attack, but you are still far from it!"
As Chiyo laughed, she controlled Kuroari to open the hole in its abdomen to catch Swordmaster that was rushing toward its direction.
Zhang Miao's Swordmaster was more than three meters long, so it was naturally impossible for Kuroari to catch its whole body. So after one-third of Swordmaster's body was inside Kuroari, Chiyo closed the hole in its abomen.
After the Kuroari's abdomen closed, Swordmaster's arm and head were stuck inside, unable to move. Then, Chiyo took control of Kuroari's six hands, and used them to grab Swordmaster's limbs and wings.
Looking at the restrained Swordmaster, Chiyo immediately smiled at Zhang Miao.
"Hehe, Little Ryu, your puppet can't move anymore. Hurry up and admit defeat!"
"Who said I lost?" Hearing Chiyo's words, Zhang Miao also laughed, "Hehe, I have never lost in terms of strength. That goes for my puppet too! Heaah!"
With a low shout Zhang Miao increased the amount of his chakra threads ten-times the original amount. With a wave of his hand, Swordmaster instantly broke free from the Kuroari's control, and took the opportunity to cut off the four hands of the latter.
Seeing this scene, Chiyo was suddenly stunned.
"Not only he has a declicate chakra control, he also has a massive amount of chakra?"
When Chiyo was in a daze, Zhang Miao was unfazed.
After he controlled his puppet to cut off the four of Kuroari's hands, he waved his hands again. Swordmaster quickly waved his four blades and cut off Kuroari's remaining two hands and two legs.
Kuroari without hands and feet was like a big wooden bucket. It lost all of its restraining capabilities. Zhang Miao quickly dealt with it the same way he dealt with Karasu.
After dealing with the "Black Ant", Zhang Miao smiled at Chiyo again.
"Hehe, granny, I knew this thing wouldn't work. Hurry up and bring out your trump card! I want to fight seriously today!"
Chiyo: "... "
Ebizo: "…"
Baki: "…"
"Damn, this kid is too arrogant!"
Although Zhang Miao was very arrogant, everyone had to admit that with his ability to manipulate puppets, he has the rights to brag so.
Even Chiyo had to admit that even if she used her White Secret Art, Zhang Miao might be able to break one or two special puppets.
This risk could not be taken!
Thinking of this, Chiyo rolled her eyes at Zhang Miao.
"You little scoundrel, you already destroyed one of granny's precious puppets.. Do you still want to destroy granny's treasure? Granny won't play with you anymore. Ebizo, let's go fishing!"
After saying that, Chiyo pulled Kuroari back and left, leaving Baki standing in place with a dull expression.
"Stupid!"
Seeing Baki in a daze, Zhang Miao couldn't help but roll his eyes at him as he put away his puppet.
"This part matched the one from before. Why aren't you picking it up?"
Baki: "... "
"Damn, does this grandmother-grandson pair really treat me as a junk?"
As if seeing through Baki's thoughts, Zhang Miao glanced at him again when passing by him.
"Puppets are perfected through continuous repair and improvement. Repairing puppets is the best way to disassemble them. At the same time, it is also the best way to learn. I will give you the blueprint of Karasu and Kuroari later. Now, please clean up the remaisn of Kuroari!"
With that, Zhang Miao no longer paid attention to Baki and carried his puppet back to his room.
At this time, Baki also reacted and quickly shouted at Zhang Miao.
"I understand. Thank you, Ryu-sama!"
Baki hurriedly went to collect the remains of the Kuroari on the ground. After cleaning up, he picked up two bags full of puppet remains and returned to the village.
As soon as he returned to Sunagakure, Baki immediately went to Kazekage'soffice and told him everything she saw.
After listening to his report, Rasa immediately smiled and nodded.
"Hm, Baki, you did very well. When you visit them again to retrieve the blueprints, bring Temari and Kankuro along. Let's see if they can become good friends with the grandson of Advisor Chiyo."
"Yes, Lord Kazekage, I understand."
