"cut."

"You really managed to escape, you stinky rat!"

Scorpion cursed inwardly, but his mindset remained completely unshaken.

Because a madman who can meticulously craft puppets into works of art never lacks the patience to pursue what he loves!

Today, he must obtain that perfect puppet material!

But before it could enslave its weapon and launch another attack, the prey, which had escaped its onslaught like a loach or a rat, suddenly vanished from sight. Almost simultaneously, it mysteriously reappeared behind the Third Kazekage, who had just turned around to continue the pursuit!

This unexpected turn of events caused Scorpion to momentarily freeze.

Even though he was a veteran of countless battles, and even though he had been immersed in the art of puppetry for many years,

None of them had ever dealt with such a bizarre situation before, and they were completely unable to find a breakthrough to launch a decisive counterattack in this fleeting surprise attack!

no doubt,

Facing the powerful puppet with its back turned, Huang showed no pity or heartache, and directly unleashed his charged punch, slamming it hard into its body.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

In an instant, a sound like building blocks scattering rang out.

The powerful puppet that was rampaging just a second ago has now been reduced to scattered, broken parts.

After all, Ara's body had undergone extensive daily training and practice, especially in the battle against Kaguya's clan on the eastern border of Konoha, where it had been substantially tempered.

Even in terms of burst power, it might not be as good as the Fourth Raikage with the Lightning Armor, or Tsunade who is inherently gifted with superhuman strength.

However, it is more than enough to deal with such a puppet.

As the Third Kazekage collapsed, the magnetic field that held the surrounding area together instantly crumbled. The iron spikes, which were extremely intimidating and metallic, were all shattered into tiny particles and vanished with the passing wind.

Space ninjutsu!

It's space-time ninjutsu again!!

That kind of surprise attack that can contain energy fluctuations to the extreme can only be achieved by space-time ninjutsu.

but!

But that bastard was just saying he wanted a fair and square fight!

"You promised to be upright and honorable,"

"I was so naive to think that the legendary Uchiha clan would keep their promise!"

Seeing the promising situation crumble in an instant, like a mirage, Scorpion was clearly unable to accept it.

That's why, for the first time in history, such a grievance-laden statement was uttered during a battle!

However, despite the accusations from his opponent, Huang did not show any extreme emotions, nor did he take advantage of the opponent's momentary lapse in concentration to launch a decisive surprise attack.

Instead, he calmly picked up his own sword and several blades with special engravings from the scattered puppet remains on the ground.

After lightly shaking the horizontal sword in his hand, he looked at the opponent who clearly showed contempt and ruthlessness.

"The so-called Sasori of the Red Sand seems to be nothing special after all,"

"Hey, with your skill level and experience, the Third Kazekage, who is hailed as the strongest, couldn't have been defeated by you in a head-on confrontation, right?"

Upon hearing this, the scorpion remained silent.

He no longer wanted to talk to this cunning fellow.

However, aside from the irony, there is no reason to refute it.

After all, this is what a ninja is.

He had previously mentioned that ninjas fight using any means necessary.

Fraud is naturally included in this category!

"Hmm, it seems so,"

"That's why you can't even distinguish the Flying Thunder God Technique,"

"It's truly pitiful that the Third Kazekage died at the hands of someone who resorts to cheating when he can't win."

Are you a child?

While lamenting the Third Kazekage reduced to a pile of parts, Ara also took the opportunity to mock the puppeteer who was on the opposite side.

It's truly laughable that they didn't even realize the situation they created when they were about to lose.

And under such reminders and irony,

Scorpion's face immediately showed a look of astonishment, as if struck by lightning.

He naturally knew of the renowned Flying Thunder God Technique, and at the same time, he suddenly realized why his puppet had been defeated!

It appeared on those kunai that were attracted by the magnetic force.

That guy's previous attempts to escape were merely tests to see if I had discovered this trick and to find the most suitable opportunity to launch a surprise attack!

The sudden realization of the enormous creature made Scorpion's face turn extremely ugly.

Especially the sentence, "Are you a child?", hit him like a thunderbolt.

Without a doubt, I had just lost, and lost completely.

But it's not over yet, this battle is not over!!

Having completely composed himself, he abruptly ripped off the tattered clothes he was wearing, revealing his body, which resembled a human but clearly showed joints.

What is most shocking is that on the right side of its chest, where the heart should be, there is a cylindrical 'plug-in' with a large character for 'scorpion' written on it, and something resembling meridians is hidden beneath the surface of the puppet!

That's clearly the core of the scorpion!

"It's been a long time since I've used this body in battle, so I'm starting to feel a bit of a fighting spirit."

As he spoke, he pulled out another scroll from behind him and casually tossed it into the air. From the slowly unfolding storage scroll, countless black figures clad in red robes rushed out. Upon closer inspection, they were clearly lifelike puppets!

Scorpion once said,

His art is just two short of reaching three hundred pieces.

Judging from this number, the puppets that Gaara destroyed earlier were not seriously damaged at all; in fact, they were just the weakest and most insignificant ones.

"Jie,"

"Since you're so good at dodging, let me see how you're going to dodge next."

"I used these treasures to destroy a country."

Once all the puppets stored in the scroll appeared, the sky was filled with them, creating a scene resembling a locust swarm!

Then, Sasori opened the circular cover on his left chest, and immediately, strands of azure chakra burst forth, precisely connecting to the backs of the puppets.

“Buzzing…”

With a series of buzzing sounds, all the puppets placed in the sky were activated, and even the weapons they held emitted a bright blue chakra light.

"Sa, enjoy my highest courtesy."

"Red Secret Technique·Hundred Machine Exercises!"

Chapter 663 From this day forward, you will be my puppet, and your only answer to me will be "yes".

"It truly is a hundred machines!"

"Even those guys in Sunagakure who specialize in manipulating puppets couldn't reach this level, right?"

Gazing at the puppet battle formation that seemed to cover an entire region, Kiba Inuzuka was completely stunned.

Not only him, but also Choji Akimichi and Shino Aburame, who followed him, were speechless.

Especially the latter,

During the Chunin Exams, he had a brief encounter with the puppeteer from Sunagakure in the 44th training ground, but for various reasons, no winner was decided.

Of course, the key point here is not whether there was a winner or loser, but that the puppeteer named Kankuro was only operating one machine at the time!

It is speculated that at most, it would only be a hidden second machine carried in the bandages on its back.

However, the puppeteer fighting that person at this moment was manipulating hundreds of puppets at once, which was much larger than the swarm of insects that could be released.

This is practically like fighting hundreds of ninjas!!

Shino Aburame subconsciously raised the sunglasses on her face, thinking that after cultivating a new swarm of insects, she could wash away the shame of her family in the battles to come.

But then he suddenly realized that the area ahead was still a forbidden zone of battle that he could not easily enter!

"According to legend, a highly skilled and talented mold maker appeared in Sunagakure twenty years ago."

"He once created many excellent puppets with sophisticated configurations and numerous mechanisms for Sunagakure. The puppet tools used by the puppeteer you saw in the Chunin Exams were all products left behind by him."

Sensing the surprise and emotion in the hearts of the surrounding team members, Kakashi Hatake, who once belonged to the Konoha Anbu and had a great deal of hunting experience throughout the history of the ninja world, spoke slowly.

Such an introduction immediately captured the attention of the little ones. Even Hinata Hyuga, who had been on guard and hadn't looked back, held her breath and listened attentively, waiting for what was to come.

For some reason, perhaps due to a girl's unique sixth sense, she felt that the special puppeteer in her field of vision seemed to be the genius mold maker that Kakashi-sensei had mentioned!

"And then, Kakashi-sensei,"

What happened to that genius mold maker?

"Furthermore, over the years, it seems there hasn't been any news of a ninja from Sunagakure capable of controlling hundreds of puppets?"

Kiba Inuzuka could not contain his curiosity and astonishment and asked the man urgently.

Even the little white dog nestled in his arms let out a 'woof woof' sound, wanting to know more.

"Missing."

"That master puppeteer named Sasori, known in the ninja world as Sasori of the Red Sand, left Sunagakure twenty years ago and has been missing ever since."

Kakashi Hatake filled in the gaps in his knowledge.

At the same time, without waiting for his companions to raise any further questions, he continued speaking to himself:

"Aside from the important event twenty years ago when a genius mold maker left Sunagakure, ten years ago, the Third Kazekage, who was known as the strongest Kazekage in Sunagakure, also mysteriously disappeared."

"At that time, Sunagakure was like ants on a hot pan, wreaking havoc all over the Land of Wind, and even threatening to go to war with us and Iwagakure."
