In this battle, Hanyu did not intend to show his unpredictable speed of casting jutsu... It was not that he did not want to, but that he could not. If it was just combat training, he could of course squander his chakra at will, but when facing a ninja like Monzaemon, what was the difference between running out of chakra and death?
On the grass, on the tree trunks, and on the crowns of evergreen trees, ten puppets were either squatting or standing, guarding the Monzaemon among them in a clear hierarchy and from far away... There were no guards more loyal than the puppets.
Monzaemon moved his ten fingers, and the Chikamatsu Ten quickly began to move under his command. Although he was stunned for a second because he did not expect the enemy to launch the attack first, he still reacted very promptly.
Amid the dense, creepy and extremely ear-piercing puppet creaking sounds, three of the ten puppets went straight towards Hanyu who was rushing over. However, Hanyu ignored them. His hands flew up and down, constantly forming seals one after another, and at the same time whispered to his companions:
"Nagisa!"
At this time, Nagisa naturally knew what he should do. The dark shadow under his feet seemed to have a life of its own suddenly. It changed into tentacles that extended forward. The shadow quickly surpassed Hanyu's figure and was the first to connect to the feet of the three puppets.
The sharp blades raised by the three puppets were abruptly stopped. At the same time, Menzaemon's three fingers suddenly paused. It was obvious that he had felt that the three puppets seemed to be out of his control.
"Old people are bound to suffer from chakra depletion, aren't they?" Hanyu thought so, and then passed by the three puppets.
Although the Nara clan's shadow binding technique is an extremely convenient and powerful ninjutsu, Nara Nagisa is a young ninja after all, his technique is far from being so sophisticated, and his chakra is not strong, let alone being able to compete with Monzaemon for control of the puppet. For a powerful ninja like the latter, it is reasonable to break free from his restraints immediately.
However, judging from his appearance alone, Monzaemon is already in his late seventies. No matter how cruel he appears, the fact is that he is just an old ninja who barely fights for the village... How strong can his chakra be ?
In fact, Monzaemon has long been a ninja who relies on experience rather than chakra. He is famous and threatening, but his strength is no longer what it used to be. I believe that even if it were only five years ago, he would not be defeated by Nara Nagisa, who is only a Chunin-level ninja.
If Nara knew about these thoughts that flashed through Hanyu's mind, he would definitely curse immediately. It's really easy to talk, how can things be so simple? At this moment, for him who was controlling the three puppets, it felt like a volcano was sitting under his butt, and it was his side that was about to break free from control.
Nara didn't feel how much Monzaemon's chakra had weakened due to old age, and while he was struggling to control the three puppets, he was also fixed in place and could no longer provide support to Hanyu.
After passing the puppet, Hanyu completed the seal in his hand. He took a deep breath, and the full and fresh air rushed into his lungs. Then he exhaled suddenly:
Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!
The blazing fire dragon bomb was particularly conspicuous in the already dim forest. The surging heat wave spread out in all directions with Hanyu as the center, and the explosive flames pointed directly at Monzaemon who was more than ten meters away.
How could this exaggerated and undisguised ninjutsu, which was extremely powerful but not very fast, achieve a direct hit? Without even thinking about it, Monzaemon immediately blocked the other three puppets in front of him.
boom!
The Fire Dragon Flame Bomb hit the three puppets directly and immediately turned into sparks that scattered in all directions. This was the only effect achieved by such a powerful ninjutsu.
Puppets are a very special type of ninja tool. Generally, during the production process, they must have undergone tests such as fire resistance, pressure resistance, wear resistance, load resistance, desert water, high temperature and freezing, etc., not to mention the top-level puppets such as the Chikamatsu, their design indicators must be higher.
If the puppet couldn't even withstand fire and water jutsu, then its use would be too limited. Therefore, Hanyu's fire jutsu only caused a little superficial damage to the puppet.
But then, a shuriken with a transparent silk thread slipped through the gap left by the three puppets, and with the help of the bright flash caused by the fire escape, it wrapped around one of Monzaemon's arms at an extremely tricky angle.
Hidden in the fire escape is another fire escape.
Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique.
There was almost no time gap when Hanyu launched two fire escape techniques.
This is also a fire-style ninjutsu that causes area damage, but unlike the Fire Dragon Flame Bomb, the Dragon Fire Jutsu is based on the traction of silk threads and is, in a sense, "guided."
The scorching fire wave attacked Monzaemon again. He had no way to avoid this technique because he was hit by the shuriken first. In addition, due to the high temperature environment created by the previous fire dragon bomb, the C-level dragon fire technique exerted a momentum and power far beyond its level.
Then, Monzaemon, who was hit by the Dragon Fire Technique, began to burn violently... The person who beat the old man was found in this way.
Although he succeeded in hitting the target, Hanyu frowned. He felt something was wrong. Although he designed this series of attacks, it was hard to believe that such an exaggerated effect could be achieved... No matter how ingenious it was, a trick was just a trick. How effective would it be against a ninja like Monzaemon? Hanyu was skeptical, and his trick was not that ingenious.
More direct evidence is that Monzaemon has been burning quietly. He neither struggled nor wailed in the flames. He just stood there motionless.
The Chikamatsu Ten also stopped what they were doing.
Hanyu raised one hand, signaling his companions not to move, while he stared at the burning Monzaemon.
"It's amazing that you managed to hit my Stand so quickly... But the more you do this, the more you'll have to die here today. I won't give you a chance to grow."
As a Sand Village ninja, this attitude is correct. If there is a chance, the threat must be eliminated in the bud.
The flame of the Dragon Fire Technique gradually went out, but Menzaemon's voice did not come from there. Hanyu and others suddenly turned their eyes to the tree canopy where they had originally hidden, and saw another Menzaemon standing there.
No, it should be said that Monzaemon stayed there the whole time.
He just gently raised his index finger, and the finger of the figure that had just appeared from the flames also moved. Then, a puppet of the Ten also moved, and it made an attacking gesture.
Obviously, the one Hanyu just hit was a substitute, a puppet that Monzaemon made himself as a sample.
It is not uncommon for puppeteers to transform their own bodies, or create a puppet identical to themselves as a substitute. However, the behavior of controlling one's own substitute puppet, and then using the substitute puppet to control a large group of puppets, is simply unheard of. No wonder the movements of the Chikamatsu were not so delicate before, they were just being controlled by a finger.
Controlling eleven puppets with just one finger, what kind of operational ability is this?
"Senior, you are a little too old and stubborn..."
Hanyu's eyes finally darkened.
What happened to the all-out battle? It turns out he was just playing. Although this cautious act of hiding his true self makes sense, after all, it would help Monzaemon stay invincible no matter what, but... this is indeed playing.
As an opponent encountered in the first battle, Menzaemon is a bit too strong. What about the promise of using small monsters to feed experience?
