Chapter 265 Shadow-Level Puppet

"Of course it's a puppet; we have to thank you for your help."

Sasuke Umino smiled and offered his thanks. These mecha puppets were all modified from captured Sand Village puppets, especially Ebizo's mirror puppets, which were the core components of these mecha puppets.

"hateful!"

Ebizo stared at the layers of mirrored armor covering these mecha golems, his eyes filled with resentment.

"kill!"

Unable to contain himself, Ebizo manipulated ten ancient-looking Chikamatsu puppets to attack from different angles.

"Like rain and dew, a hundred spears!"

The puppet on the left, adorned with the white bead of the Jade Maiden, was the first to attack. Numerous short metal spears shot out from its joints, whistling as they swept across the area.

Sasuke Umino crossed his arms, seemingly undaunted. A mecha puppet stood in front of him, easily deflecting the barrage of bullets.

Given the mirror puppet's defensive capabilities, even if the attack power of these short guns were increased tenfold, they still wouldn't be able to break through its defenses.

As the former owner of the Mirror Puppet, Ebizo was well aware of its terrifying defensive capabilities. His tactic of unleashing a barrage of spears was merely intended to disrupt the enemy's vision.

Just then, the two puppets carrying the golden beads of the Buddha and the Monk opened their huge mouths and actually spat out a powerful hurricane and raging flames.

The hurricane and the flames combined to form a terrifying combined attack with power exceeding that of an A-rank fire jutsu.

"go to hell!"

Ebizo's attack was a deadly move. With the power of this combined wind and fire attack, even if the White Blood Demon could unleash a water barrier, it wouldn't be able to defend against it.

If there were water, the White Blood Demon might have a chance of survival, but now it is in a waterless desert, and it is certain to die.

The mecha puppet's physical defense is indeed strong, but what can it do against the combined wind and fire ninjutsu attack?

Sudden--

"Chakra Shield!"

Two mecha puppets stood in front of them, their chakra energy engines flashing a blinding red light, creating a purple energy shield that easily blocked the raging flames of the wind and fire combination.

"What?! What kind of defensive ninjutsu is this?"

Ebizo's pupils contracted slightly, for he had never seen such a defensive ninjutsu before. Its defensive power was even stronger than the Machine Light Shield Seal. How could this be?!
Moreover, this defensive ninjutsu is actually a pure chakra shield, without any aura of sealing techniques. With the support of a massive amount of chakra, it is even more powerful than the Machine Light Shield Sealing Technique enhanced by sealing techniques!
"Let's see how much chakra you have available."

Ebizo immediately spotted the weakness in the chakra shield and unleashed a combination attack.

A massive whirlpool of water and lightning transformed into a lightning-filled water dragon, sweeping over.

"Ebizo, I may not have much chakra, but it's more than enough to wear you down, you old man."

The mecha puppet showed no intention of conserving energy. Supporting its chakra shield, it charged forward with ferocious strides, refusing to retreat or retaliate.

"Chaos Wind Slash!"

The mecha puppet flew and spun, transforming into a giant windmill blade that stirred up the surrounding air. The resulting windmill hurricane alone was no weaker than a B-rank wind-escape attack.

"Diamond Shield Seal!"

Ebizo realized the power of the windmill blade and quickly manipulated a puppet with a [Vajra] yellow bead to block it in front of him.

A chakra shield, resembling a mechanical light shield, appeared on the puppet's arms.

Ebizo was quite confident, as the Aurora Shield was the nemesis of physical attacks.

It can defend against all physical attacks.

But then there was a loud cracking sound.

The Vajra Shield, which was said to be able to defend against all physical attacks, was actually shattered directly.

"what?!"

Ebizo's pupils contracted, filled with utter horror.

How is this possible? Could it be that this greatsword, which is over six meters long, is made of chakra metal?

If they were truly made of pure chakra metal, then the combined weight of those nine greatswords would represent an immense fortune.

Others forge chakra metal weapons by adding a piece of chakra metal the size of a fingernail, and they can create a famous chakra sword. The value of each famous sword ranges from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of taels, and sometimes its value is immeasurable.

Those nine greatswords, forged from pure chakra metal, are probably worth enough to buy several small countries!

Sasuke Unno was unaware of Ebizo's thoughts, but he had a rough idea. Although these nine greatswords were not made of chakra metal, they were not far off. After all, the metal material was taken from the Hidden Mist Village's Executioner's Blade, and it was not much worse than chakra metal. Moreover, he had added some meteorite powder to these Executioner's Blades, which further increased their effectiveness against pure energy shields.

With the decapitation sword's attack power, it almost maxed out the melee combat power.

The so-called absolute physical defense of the Aurora Shield is just an exaggeration. It's like the absolute defense of the Bagua Reversal. If it were to face a super S-level forbidden technique, once it exceeds its limit, how could it defend against it?

The Aurora Shield's defense is indeed powerful, but it is powerless against the Decapitation Greatsword.

Another loud cracking sound.

After the decapitation sword pierced through the Vajra Shield, its momentum did not diminish, and it spun around and struck the [Vajra] Yellow Pearl Puppet, cutting it directly in two.

However, thanks to the [Vajra] Yellow Pearl Puppet's defense, Ebizo finally had time to react and barely managed to dodge the mecha puppet's greatsword strike.

"not good!"

Ebizo's expression changed drastically as he discovered that the decapitation sword swept past from the left, severing several chakra threads on his left hand.

"Secret Technique: Water Candy Jade!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Sasuke Umino broke his chakra threads, causing the Chikamatsu puppet to lose control and quickly spit out a large amount of sticky candy balls.

puff!puff!puff!
No longer the ordinary sticky candy balls, but huge, faster, and stickier candy balls, like cannonballs, struck the out-of-control Chikamatsu puppets with extreme precision.

Ebizo quickly released chakra threads to connect with the out-of-control puppets, but it was too late. Two scroll puppets were hit by the sticky ball and stuck to the sand, making them impossible to control.

Ebizo quickly manipulated the remaining puppets, moving them away at high speed. Compared to the large and sweeping movements of the mecha puppets, the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Puppets were much more agile.

Moreover, Ebizo is much stronger than Umino Sasuke in terms of puppet control. As for combat experience, if Umino Sasuke hadn't mastered the Sound Release: Perception Technique, which leveled the gap, he would probably have lost the rhythm of the battlefield long ago.

Ebizo began to engage in ranged combat, searching for openings and opportunities to strike.

"Ebizo, does he really think he has the advantage of speed?"

Sasuke Umino chuckled softly, for he already had a plan.

The mecha puppets unfurled their wings on their backs, and propelled by the chakra-powered engines in their chests, they all took to the air, their speed suddenly increasing dramatically.

"What? It can actually fly!"

Looking at the mecha puppets surrounding him, Ebizo finally realized their extraordinary nature. These puppets didn't even need chakra threads for control?

I initially thought these mecha puppets were controlled by chakra threads hidden in the sand, or that the chakra threads were simply invisible. Now it seems these mecha puppets can be controlled far beyond remote control.

This is yet another violation of the consistent principles of puppetry!
"How do you manage to control it without chakra threads?"

Ebizo stared intently at the mecha puppet, his eyes filled with doubt, as if trying to see through the mirrored armor to understand what was inside.

Unfortunately, the metal armor made it impossible to detect the internal workings of the mecha puppet.

He racked his brains but still couldn't figure out the principle behind it. How could he have imagined that these mecha puppets were controlled by shadow clones?

The reason these mecha golems have grown to be so large is to protect the shadow clones inside. That's why they keep layering armor, resulting in this appearance.

Sasuke Umino had no obligation to explain himself; he simply launched a full-scale attack.

"Scorpion Venom Storm!"

Ebizo quickly manipulated the [Jade Maiden] White Pearl Puppet to spew out a large amount of poison, intending to prevent further encirclement and attack while also blocking the enemy's line of sight.

"It's just scorpion venom, keep attacking!"

Sasuke Umino waved his hand, dispersing the poisonous fog around him, completely unaffected.

"What kind of monster are you? How can you have such strong resistance to poison?!"

Ebizo thought his hidden poison technique would be quite effective, and he even planned to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and capture the enemy in one fell swoop. But now, seeing this scene, he felt as if he had seen a ghost.

This is a special poison developed by Chiyo, with a potent toxicity almost comparable to Hanzo's salamander poison. Yet someone has managed to withstand it. What kind of constitution does that person have? Even a summoning beast living in a poisonous pool might not be able to resist poison to this extent!
In terms of resistance to poison alone, since being assimilated by White Zetsu, conventional poisons in the ninja world have become completely ineffective against Sasuke Umino. Not to mention the poisons developed by Chiyo, even the Wood Release pollen poison of Hashirama Senju might not be effective against him.

"Strange power!"

Umino Sasuke broke through the poisonous fog, simultaneously covering his body with sticky armor, holding Samehada in one hand for defense, and delivering a powerful punch to a Chikamatsu puppet with the other.

There was a loud bang.

The Chikamatsu puppet was instantly shattered into pieces.

"Tsunade's monstrous strength, and its power is several times greater!"

Ebizo was deeply shocked. He never imagined that someone's superhuman strength could reach such an astonishing level.

He quickly maneuvered the puppet away from the humanoid monster and launched ranged attacks, but unfortunately, these ranged attacks were all in vain under the protection of the multiple layers of sticky armor.

"Huh? Looks like we can't wait any longer."

At this moment, Sasuke Umino, who was confident of victory, frowned slightly. He sensed a vast wave of chakra rushing towards him from the distant sky.

"The monk Fenfu?!"

With this level of chakra strength, only Bunpuku in Sunagakure could reach such a terrifying level. As for the remaining two chakra fluctuations, they were easy to identify; they were Ruri-tama and the Sand Iron-Ray couple.

"Chakra Cannon, full power!"

Sasuke Umino quickly made tactical adjustments.

Nine mecha puppets equipped with chakra cannons were seen, their chest chakra energy storage engines emitting a blinding red light, rapidly charging the chakra cannons on their shoulders and arms.

Rumble~
Streams of chakra light, like long-range giant Rasengans, bombarded Ebizo below.

Faced with such a powerful and dense attack from the air, Ebizo had nowhere to hide and could only fight back with all his might.

He also tried to hide in the sand to avoid the chakra cannons in the air, but faced with the monstrous impacts of the punches hitting the ground, even hiding in the sand was not very effective.

Under the combined assault of chakra cannons and superhuman strength, Ebizo quickly reached his limit, spitting out mouthfuls of blood and fragments of internal organs, his entire body riddled with wounds.

"stop!"

"Wind Style: Air Training Bullet!"

A high-density chakra air cannon came crashing down, attempting to interrupt Umino Sasuke's attack and rescue Ebizo.

In his eagerness to save lives, Monk Fenfu unleashed a powerful attack.

Faced with such a terrifying chakra air cannon, Sasuke Umino's expression changed slightly, but he did not give up on killing Ebizo.

This chakra air cannon is indeed powerful, almost as strong as a small tailed beast ball.

Even though Shukaku initially had the least chakra and the weakest strength, and did not have the ability to obtain the Tailed Beast Ball, it was good at learning. After a thousand years of hard work, its strength actually surpassed that of the other Tailed Beasts. In the desert environment, it could even go toe-to-toe with Kurama.

This results in its chakra air cannon having a terrifying power comparable to the Tailed Beast Ball.

"defense!"

The three mecha puppets activated their chakra shields to the maximum, blocking in front of Umino Sasuke.

Rumble~
The power of the chakra air bullet was indeed terrifying; it directly broke through two layers of chakra shields, and the last layer of chakra shields was also in grave danger.

However, Sasuke Umino, who was hiding behind the mecha puppet, did not intend to dodge, but continued to form hand seals.

"Water Release·Water Breaking Wave!"

Before the last layer of chakra shield broke, Umino Sasuke spat out a high-pressure water jet, which struck Ebizo, who was being bombarded by the chakra cannon, at lightning speed.

Ebizo's combat instincts were quite remarkable, but unfortunately, due to the distraction caused by the chakra cannon, he was unable to effectively dodge the high-pressure water line.

There was a pop.

The high-pressure water line sliced ​​through Ebizo in his Shunpo motion without any obstruction, severing both of his feet.

Time seemed to stand still.

Ebizo's body continued to move forward, but his feet remained on the sand.

Ebizo was still in the air, close to the ground, his eyes looking at his legs, which had detached from his body and were splattering with blood, while his body was about to fall onto the scorching yellow sand.

However, Ebizo was quite tenacious. He actually controlled the puppet to replace his lost legs and continue moving with his remaining body. Although his speed was greatly reduced, at least he was no longer waiting to die.

Umino Sasuke wanted to continue his attack, but the third layer of chakra shield had already been shattered by the chakra air bullet.

He had no choice but to stop the high-pressure water jet from his mouth, hide behind the mecha puppet, and put on several more layers of sticky armor.

Rumble~
The chakra air cannon shattered the chakra shield and struck the mecha puppet with tremendous force, even causing cracks in the mirror armor.

Meanwhile, Sasuke Umino, who was hiding in the back, was also severely shocked.

"Cough cough cough! So strong!"

Sasuke Umino stood amidst billowing dust, pieces of sticky armor falling from his body.
