I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Today marks the first step in their effort to wash away their shame!

As he uttered the challenge, he casually tossed down the two clay bombs he had created.

"Looks like they're looking for me."

"Then dispel the Crystal Release and hand him over to me."

Looking at the white bombs falling from the sky again, Huang said calmly.

Lightning Release counters Earth Release.

For that arrogant 'artist', this was a challenge he was destined to lose.

"Yes, Lord Ara."

"Then, please leave the rest of the guy to me."

Crimson Lotus deactivated her still-perfect Crystal Release defense.

After all, passive defense alone cannot truly resolve the danger; it is merely a waste of chakra energy, like drinking poison to quench thirst.

Moreover, she really didn't have any good ways to deal with troublesome ninjas who could fly into the air.

but,

Against an opponent who is also on the ground, she has no chance of losing!

Whether the enemy's number is one or a hundred!

As she spoke, Honglian looked straight into the depths of the dense forest.

'Cluck, cluck.......'

From the beginning, he could faintly hear strange and stiff sounds coming from the nearby forest, and he could also sense that a large number of creatures were approaching.

However, Honglian could not easily sense the presence or gaze of those beings as living beings.

Those guys were like empty puppets, just shells of their bodies!

"Wow."

Finally, accompanied by the sound of large branches being pried open and cut, a series of figures with stiff expressions, mechanical limbs, and minimalist gray cloaks appeared on the outer ring of giant trees. While sealing off and surrounding the area, they did not dare to overstep into the explosion zone.

Their existence seems solely to prevent these hidden demons within the area from escaping.

"It's a puppet!"

"Who could possibly control so many puppets?!"

Upon seeing the creature approaching from within the dense forest, Lin'er exclaimed in astonishment.

After all, there are countless terrifying numbers at a glance, at least fifty if not hundreds!

It's important to know that a puppeteer who can control three puppets simultaneously is already considered to have exceptional skill!

"What's so surprising? They're just a bunch of dust!"

Honglian scolded,

Quantity has never been her concern.

However, just as she was about to instruct her subordinates to protect Yukimaru while she went to find the mastermind behind it all, her master, who had already stepped out of the formation, suddenly said:

"Gaara,"

"The one who uses this [Hundred Puppet Manipulation] secret technique is [Sasori of the Red Sand] from your Sunagakure village."

"Back then, after killing the Third Kazekage, he fled, which led to a long period of leaderlessness in Sunagakure."

"This is also one of the reasons why your father, the Fourth Kazekage, was so eager to obtain powerful weapons to enhance the strength of Sunagakure."

"So, do whatever you want."

"The Demon Hidden Village will assist you."

Such words caused the hundreds of puppets standing at the edge of the forest to suddenly turn their gazes toward the young man who had spoken. Despite lacking their own senses, they suddenly displayed a hostility that resembled that of a human.

However, before this hostility could be fully expressed, the marginal land where the puppets stood began to rumble with an unbearable, heavy lament.

In an instant, a massive wave of sand and soil engulfed the puppets.

One of the culprits who led to his fate.

This reason alone is enough to make Gaara go berserk!

"Fool,"

"You've proactively withdrawn your defenses? Have you forgotten something?!"

“Art is an explosion!!”

above the sky,

Seeing that his prey below ignored his attacks, Deidara couldn't help but roar, his face contorted with grotesque veins.

However, just as he habitually used the word "drink" as a trigger, a burst of energy as devastating as daylight suddenly bloomed in his field of vision!

At first glance,

Those were a pair of large, symmetrical, cyan-blue elemental wings.

Upon closer inspection, a magnificent blue World Tree, seemingly constructed and grown from lightning, suddenly rose from the ground. Its outstretched branches pierced right through the approaching clay bombs, including the bomb fish covering the area with the three tails.

【Ghostly Entanglement, Divine Sin, Wind and Thunder】

'Pat-pat-pat,'

In an instant, white duds rained down on the ground and into the sea.

Deidara's "drink" that he was holding in his mouth was completely stuck in his throat.

Clearly, he was somewhat unable to accept and understand the instantaneous lightning strike that, like a work of art, instantly dismantled his attack.

【Art,】

This is a fleeting art form!

His expression began to look strange, half ferocious and half filled with uncontrollable admiration!

These are two extremely opposing emotions.

"Honglian, don't let outsiders interfere with them."

Meanwhile, Huang, who was hovering in the void with his manifested wind and thunder wings, left a command and then flapped his wings and took to the air.

It must be said that allowing Akatsuki members, who possess air superiority and love to cause explosions everywhere, to roam freely is a huge hidden danger to the Hidden Demon Village, which possesses tailed beasts.

Not to mention, this guy also has a desperate backup plan: to perish together with the entire 'city'.

So, since they're here, let's just take them down.

"Yes,"

At the same time, after handing the Ghost Pill to her subordinates, Guren chased after the enemy deeper into the forest.

She knew perfectly well who her leader was referring to when he mentioned "them".

As for the three tails

After a series of attacks that failed to materialize, and after helping it deal with those troublesome clay bombs, it seemed to have figured out who the real enemy was, and for the time being, it did not launch an overly aggressive attack on the demon's territory.

However, the scattered puppets suffered under the effect of the Tailed Beast Bomb.

After feeling the frenzied energy approaching, Deidara also snapped out of his artistic daze.

The ferocity and admiration in his eyes completely transformed into humiliation and madness.

Again,

He has once again succumbed to the art of others—unforgivable!

Chapter 656 Shino's fighting spirit: The Aburame clan will not fail twice against the same opponent!

"Swish swish..."

The approaching sound of the wind immediately triggered a combat response from the already tense members of Konoha.

It wasn't just that the elite members of the Dark Division had concealed their presence in this dense forest without leaving a trace, intending to deliver a fatal blow to any potential enemies.

Even Konoha genin like Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino, who had just encountered a high-level mission and were only present as part of the sealing team, subconsciously gripped their weapons tightly, staring intently at the dense forest depths where Kazane was approaching.

"Choji, Kiba, Kakashi-sensei!"

"It's Kakashi's team!!"

However, this solemn preparation was temporarily lifted by the girl's exclamation.

Using her Byakugan, Hinata Hyuga was able to identify the newcomer before her companions.

Almost at the same time the girl's voice fell, several figures rushing from afar landed steadily on the nearby giant trees.

"Kakashi-senpai, you've arrived."

Immediately, Shizune, as the squad leader, greeted the leading adult man, and a hint of excitement and relief could be clearly heard in her voice.

After all, the current situation, with the Three-Tails, the Hidden Demon Village, and the Akatsuki all making their appearances one after another, has far exceeded his control.

Even though the group had a secret service squad as their main fighting force, it was still somewhat ineffective against those terrifying individuals.

They desperately need a strong leader to arrive and fill the gap in combat power and influence.

And Kakashi Hatake is the power they have been waiting for!

"Hmm, what's the situation now?"

"Has the Hidden Demon Village made contact with the Three-Tails yet?"

Has that person arrived yet?

Hearing the deep rumble that reached his ears, and feeling the tremors in the forest as the ground was violently collided, Kakashi Hatake, who had just arrived, quickly got into focus.

Intelligence was the first-hand information he needed to obtain.

And just like the previous Silent Squad and Anbu Squad, their focus was also on that person, and just mentioning him made Kakashi's tone change to a more serious one.

However, unlike the former, when he was assembling and leading his team to this place, he already knew from the Hokage that the person would most likely arrive here.
