Chapter 32: Why are you tainted with Asura's Chakra?
Bang....
Bang.....
Bang.....
Within the forest of the Land of Rivers, Hyuga Makoto's figure was still dancing, constantly drifting through that massive sea of Puppets.
His hands were covered in Chakra that resembled roaring lions; every time he struck, he could instantly shatter a Puppet!
Kakashi, on the other hand, appeared somewhat disheveled. His Chidori could still be effective, and his Sharingan could see the Chakra threads.
However, Sasori was giving him special attention; that massive sea of Puppets was aimed entirely at him!
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm."
During another wave of offensive, Hyuga Makoto saw an opening behind Kakashi and immediately acted to help intercept the flying Puppets.
Afterward, the two quickly converged, leaning against each other back-to-back.
"Captain, do you have a grudge against him?"
Hyuga Makoto was more or less asking what he already knew, but he really couldn't help but complain.
"This guy has an unusual amount of Puppets, and every single one of them wants your life."
"...Focus on the battle."
Kakashi didn't really want to answer that question; after all, they really did have a grudge!
"But if we keep wearing ourselves down like this, it'll be too dangerous for us."
Against a Puppet Master, the best way is to deal with them in close quarters.
But the key problem was that this guy Sasori controlled too many Puppets!
Kakashi wasn't Uchiha Madara; he had no way to 'dance' in front of these Puppets, not to mention his Chakra wasn't quite enough.
He had to think of a better way, a way that could actually solve the problem.
"I can see some clues about him, but he's protected too well by the Puppets."
Hyuga Makoto spoke in a low voice, while also estimating how much Chakra his Shadow Clone had left.
"Unless we can get close, we can't deliver an effective strike."
"Is that so..."
Kakashi nodded inwardly and began to rapidly think of a way to let Hyuga Makoto rush through.
Boom—
However, just as he was thinking, the earth trembled.
Looking out, a giant snake like a small mountain appeared in the forest accompanied by smoke on the distant battlefield!
"Manda?"
Seeing this scene, Kakashi felt even more nervous; Manda's appearance was not a good sign.
This was enough to show that Orochimaru was about to get serious!
"Oh, has that guy grown tired of playing?"
Sasori also noticed the scene in the distance and gave a cold snort.
"In that case, I'll move a bit faster too. I don't want to lose to someone like him."
As he spoke, he pulled out a scroll, and on the scroll was the character for 'Three'.
In the next moment, as smoke billowed out, a Human Puppet quietly appeared!
"This is..."
Kakashi's eyes widened slightly. He naturally recognized the identity of this Human Puppet, but it also made him break out in a cold sweat!
"The Third Kazekage... So his disappearance was because you killed him, and he was even made into a Human Puppet?"
"That's right, and you don't need to be in a hurry..."
Sasori nodded indifferently, and magnets had already condensed on the Third Kazekage's body.
"Because, you will soon be with him!"
Buzz—
In an instant, under Sasori's control, the Third Kazekage's magnets transformed into a huge cylinder and smashed heavily toward Hyuga Makoto and Kakashi.
"Get out of the way!"
Kakashi immediately gave Hyuga Makoto a push, and then leaped toward the other side himself.
Bang—
The cylinder smashed into the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust!
The visible shockwave instantly hit Kakashi in mid-air, causing him to fall to the ground in a mess.
Just as he was about to scramble up, he saw countless Puppets already coming for him.
In the sky, black needles formed from a massive amount of Iron Sand densely covered the area.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!"
Sasori didn't hesitate; he was feeling quite satisfied right now!
Konoha's White Fang was long dead; if he couldn't kill Sakumo Hatake, then killing his son was just as good.
"Hmph!"
However, at that moment, Hyuga Makoto instantly took down several Puppets and rushed in front of Kakashi to pull him up.
Boom—
The black iron needles pierced the earth, the continuous rumbling so loud it was piercing to the ears!
"Makoto, you..."
Kakashi's mouth moved slightly, but Hyuga Makoto shook his head and interrupted him.
"If it were me in this situation, the Captain would also come to save me, right?"
"But now, you've also fallen into the most dangerous situation."
Kakashi sighed and looked up; the space above them was completely covered by Puppets and black Iron Sand!
They really had no way out now.
"A touching performance, but meaningless."
Sasori snorted and spoke indifferently.
"Since your relationship is so good, then..."
"I'll send you on your way together!"
As soon as Sasori finished speaking, he immediately controlled all the Puppets to move.
However, at that moment, Sasori's expression changed...
"So, it's Itachi-kun. This is an unexpected reunion."
Atop Manda's head, Orochimaru was covered in slime, his face slightly pale, but his gaze was burning.
He had always felt that short Anbu member was somewhat familiar; now he knew, that was the body he desired!
"Itachi-kun's Genjutsu is truly impressive, even I find it hard to endure. The only pity is, I'm afraid you won't have the chance anymore."
Orochimaru was excited now. Although his identity was exposed due to some small reasons, and Pain's orders disgusted him.
But as it happened, Konoha's continuous investigation led them to the Land of Rivers, and Pain's orders brought him here too!
This 'wonderful chance encounter' would not only allow him to reclaim the Wood Release experimental subject but also obtain a true Sharingan. How could he not be happy?
"Even if it's a bit troublesome, still..."
Orochimaru licked his lips, and in the next moment, he controlled Manda to crush forward.
"You are all mine!"
"Oh no..."
Yamato saw this and gritted his teeth, preparing to form seals again, but Uchiha Itachi held him back.
"Senior, look over there!"
"Hmm?"
Yamato was a bit confused, but in the next moment, his eyes widened.
He saw the sky full of Puppets and black Iron Sand, as if they had gone mad, instantly rushing toward Orochimaru!
"Huh?!"
Orochimaru was caught off guard, but he still quickly formed seals.
"Summoning Jutsu: Rashomon."
Boom—
A huge dull thud made the forest tremble, and the vast dust filled the sky at that moment!
Beneath the dust, Orochimaru looked at Sasori with a deep frown, his gaze appearing somewhat cold.
"What are you doing?"
"I don't know why, but my Puppets suddenly lost control just now."
Sasori controlled Hiruko to stand up shakily; his solemnity could almost be seen through that Puppet-made body.
"To think someone could snatch control of the Puppets from my hands..."
"The control was snatched?"
Orochimaru's face was full of oddity, but in the next moment, he suddenly froze.
Not just him, Sasori also felt something at this moment, and the two of them instantly looked up at the sky!
"That is..."
In the sky, a figure was floating there, looking down at them indifferently!
"How strange, why is your body tainted with a faint trace of Asura's Chakra?"
At this moment, the figure suddenly spoke. He raised his hand, and a black bead appeared at his fingertip.
"But it doesn't matter, taking you back will surely yield the answer..."
Buzz—
In an instant, the bead wrapped in a layer of pale golden Chakra began to spin.
In the blink of an eye, it seemed to transform into a sharp shuriken and sped toward them!
"What on earth is that?"
Orochimaru and Sasori were both bewildered, but they still prepared their defenses.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Wall!"
Sasori instantly controlled the Iron Sand to form an iron wall for blocking, and Orochimaru was also about to strengthen the Rashomon.
But in the next instant, their expressions changed drastically. The hard iron wall was like a piece of paper, instantly pierced by the shuriken transformed from the bead.
The bead's power didn't diminish in the slightest, and it smashed heavily onto them!
Boom—
The intense roar was deafening, and an invisible shockwave spread madly toward the surroundings.
In an instant, the surrounding trees and rocks were shredded and collapsed under the visible shockwave...
