Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch

Chapter 227 The battle of the puppet master

The poisoned blade glowed purple.

The puppet with four arms and two heads looks hideous!
Itachi Uchiha, who had never dealt with a puppet master before, carefully chose to avoid this strange attack method. Kakashi even reminded him to be careful of the poison of the puppet master. Naturally, he would not easily Get close to the puppet whose body is covered by a dark red robe.

God knows what mechanism is hidden in the body of the puppet under the robe.

In fact,
Organs are not necessarily hidden in invisible places.

When Itachi Uchiha was about to form seals to avoid the puppet's pounce, suddenly the puppet opened its mouth, and from the black hole shot out a puff of purple light, like a sudden fall from the clear sky. Rain is hard to guard against.

"Dangdangdang!!!"

The small dagger almost flitted in the air, leaving an afterimage.

All the poisoned Senbons were cut off by Uchiha Itachi at this moment. The Sangouyu Sharingan gave him dynamic vision unimaginable to outsiders, allowing him to capture the flight trajectory of Senbons. The unrelenting Uchiha-style swordsmanship gave him the skills to deal with it.

both in one,

Shot down all the Senbons at the nick of time.

Except for the little bit of purple venom on Kodachi's blade, Uchiha Itachi didn't suffer any damage and shot down Senbon. He quickly formed a seal with one hand on his left hand, and also used a stand-in technique to avoid the puppet's embrace.

"This speed...is worthy of the genius of the Uchiha clan!"

Standing behind the stone platform, Scorpion manipulated the puppets to launch an attack. After witnessing the reactions of Kakashi and Itachi, he was convinced that the information he had read in the memories of those corpses was true. Uchiha Itachi absolutely It's not a fancy signboard launched by the Uchiha clan, but a genuine genius.

But this is better, the more precious the material is, the more powerful the puppet will be!

"Whizzing!!"

The attack comes from overhead.

Three flickering shurikens flew towards Scorpion's head and shoulders respectively.

When Scorpion stared at Itachi and launched an offensive, Kakashi, who avoided the first wave of attacks, used the earth escape technique to sneak into the mountain, came directly above the position where Scorpion was standing, and silently poked his upper body out of the rock and soil. Stepping out, the shuriken in his hand was thrown towards the scorpion.

As everyone knows,

The weakness of the puppet masters is the real body of the puppet masters.

No matter how powerful the puppets are, as long as they find out the true bodies of the puppet masters and kill their weak bodies, then no matter how powerful the puppets are, they will not be able to be used. He has made friends, but his father is a lingering nightmare for the sand ninjas. In the notes left by Konoha Baiya, there is experience on how to deal with the puppet masters in the hidden sand village.

only--

Times have changed!

The puppet masters Konoha Baiya encountered and the Red Sand Scorpion are two completely different concepts.

The shuriken precisely hit the target that Kakashi expected, but it was different from what he expected. He didn't see the splash of blood, but only heard the clear and crisp impact sound like hammering iron. All three shurikens were hit. It was thrown out without causing any visible damage to the scorpion.

"Is this... the hardening technique of earth escape? Or the body forging of thunder escape?"

Doubts come to mind,
To put it bluntly, most ninjas have the characteristics of high attack, high sensitivity, low defense and low blood. Their attacks are enough to change the terrain of an area, but they are often attacked by a shuriken, a kunai Takes life easily.

The group of puppet masters is the crispy skin among the crispy skins. They put most of their energy into making puppets, manipulating puppets, and synthesizing poisons. They obviously don't have extra time for them to exercise their bodies. To put it bluntly, the physical skills of many jounin-level puppet masters are not up to the regular level of jounin.

but,

Kakashi, who missed, was not disappointed.

He did not forget that the Red Sand Scorpion was the ruthless person who killed the Third Kazekage. It would be even more frightening if this kind of person could be eliminated so easily, because that kind of situation often means a bigger trap. The attack didn't have any impact on the Red Sand Scorpion, but it was found out that the opponent has some pretty powerful defensive means, which is a gain in itself.

Ordinary shurikens have no effect,

Then next time, try using a detonating talisman or a ninjutsu attack. As for now... the most urgent thing is to avoid the scorpion's counterattack.

The combat between masters is extremely fast, so fast that it is almost as if offense and defense are being carried out simultaneously. When Kakashi tried to sneak attack Scorpion, it was equivalent to actively revealing his position. Scorpion hooked his finger, Another puppet wearing a dark red robe jumped up from the ground and appeared in Kakashi's vision.

Unlike the previous puppet,
This puppet should be more like a human being, with no extra head and no extra arms. Under the control of the chakra line, it hovered in mid-air, looked up at Kakashi who was in the rock dome, and then " "Click" I opened my mouth with a sound,
Kakashi's Sharingan saw the chakra flowing in the puppet and converging towards the throat.

It's a puppet!
Not an ordinary puppet!
At this moment, Kakashi realized the difference of this puppet, his heart was awe-inspiring, and his intuition told him that the danger was imminent!

【Earth Dungeon Rock Iron Cannon】

The puppet spit out a rock that was initially only the size of a peach pit, but grew into a coconut-sized rock in an instant. Not only was it as fast as a shell fired from its chamber, but its destructive power was also worthy of the 'rock iron cannon' at all. 'The name.

The rocks that flew out hit the dome of the cave, accompanied by thunderous bangs, the smoke and dust rolled out, the gravel rained down, and cracks like spider webs appeared on the rock dome above, but the cave It didn't collapse. This is the cave that Scorpion personally manipulated the puppet to open up using the earth escape technique. It has been reinforced and it is not so easy to collapse.

"Cough-cough-!"

Coughing sounded at the entrance of the cave.

The disheveled Kakashi retreated to the original position. He didn't seem to be missing any arms or legs. He seemed to have retreated completely from the scorpion's counterattack. His brows proved that he was by no means as innocent as he seemed.

Even though he used the earth escape technique at the fastest speed to escape just now, he still couldn't completely avoid the impact of the rock iron cannon. The impact force that had been weakened layer by layer by the outer layer of rock was still on Kakashi's body. With the overload of pressure, the fishy-sweet taste in the throat can be seen as blood without spitting it out.

Relying on his extraordinary willpower, he endured the pain for a lifetime, because now he didn't even have time to vomit blood.

The fighting of ninjas is not a turn-based game. It does not mean that I can only make moves after you make a move. The essence of ninja fighting is to be unrelenting. Another rock iron cannon was fired from the mouth that opened like a black hole.

This attack method looks very monotonous.

But as the saying goes, one trick is eaten all over the world.

Don't be afraid of monotony, just work.

This move [Rock Iron Cannon] is quite good in terms of attack speed and destructive power. The most important thing is that the Chakra consumption is not too high. Slowed down, and was suppressed by a puppet for a while.

Kakashi was so depressed to death!

This shit,

It's so unreasonable, good guy puppets don't need seals to release ninjutsu?I just ran a small step slower, and now I have a chest pain when I can't breathe. I hope it's not a broken rib that pierced my lungs, but it shouldn't be that serious. Anyway, it's just a chest pain now, and I want to vomit blood...・・I feel like I can hold on.

but,

It's not okay to delay like this for a long time!

The injury will only prolong and get worse, not that it will heal itself with the passage of time... A small cut in the hand does not count!

Especially when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of two little devils, Uchiha Itachi and Kaguya Junmaro, each being entangled by a puppet, and the scorpion standing behind the stone platform was still motionless, his heart immediately germinated to retreat. meaning.

Simultaneously manipulating the three puppets seemed to be able to do a job with ease, obviously not using all their strength!
The technique of manipulating the puppet with one hand is really admirable.

According to Kakashi’s understanding from his father’s notes, the puppet masters in Hidden Sand Village are generally qualified as ninjas who can manipulate one puppet, and those who can manipulate two puppets to fight at the same time are proper zhongnin-level combat power, and When it reaches three puppets or even more, it is the level of a jounin, and the more puppets that can be manipulated, the more powerful it means.

Like the famous Sand Chiyo in Hidden Sand Village, it is said that he can manipulate ten puppets to fight at the same time.

Kakashi doesn't know what the limit of the scorpion is, but he can't test the limit in his current state. It doesn't take much, as long as it doubles, the six puppets can probably keep them all here, Kakashi Because of the internal injury, it is difficult to deal with a puppet now.

As a ninja of pure body art, Jun Ma Lu felt uncomfortable facing the puppeteer who likes to poison all weapons, and his hands and feet were extremely restrained. All the bones contaminated with venom could not be taken back into the body for secondary use. The constant consumption of chakra to generate new bones puts a lot of pressure on Junmaro, whose body has not yet matured.

The only one who is relatively easy is Uchiha Itachi,
Although his body bones have not fully grown, he is a little older than Junmalu, and his fighting style is more labor-saving. Sangouyu's Sharingan gives him amazing insight, and he does not Like Kakashi, you can't freely switch Sharingan.

But Uchiha Itachi is also very troubled,
His favorite illusion is ineffective against these puppets. Although his ninjutsu and body skills are not inferior to illusion, he still prefers to use illusion to control opponents, which is cheaper than head-to-head ninjutsu and body skills. save effort,

"Puppeteer!"

Uchiha Itachi sighed softly.

Illusions are ineffective on puppets, but the Red Sand Scorpion manipulating the puppets is beyond the scope of his illusions. This very helpless situation he encountered for the first time made him deeply understand how powerful a puppeteer is. Annoying existence, he has not opened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and has never mastered the super powerful attack method of 'Amaterasu'.

It is very difficult to break through the defense of the scorpion puppets by relying on ordinary ninjutsu.

Knowing this, Uchiha Itachi did not easily waste chakra and release ninjutsu, but used the superb Uchiha-style swordsmanship to fight with the puppet attacking him, patiently looking for the key point to break the game.

just,

Before he could find a way to break the situation and come back against the wind,
Kakashi, who wanted to retreat, gave the signal to retreat. Even though Uchiha Itachi still wanted to learn how powerful the puppet of Yi Er Scorpion was, Kakashi was the captain, and disobeying orders was not a choice for a qualified ninja. , retreat is the only option.

Unlike Uchiha Itachi, Junmaro, who had had enough of this disgusting Bara puppet, readily accepted the order to retreat. Such a restrained battle is really uncomfortable.

The problem is,
Now this situation is obviously not something that Kakashi and the others can retreat at any time if they want to. Scorpion can't understand Kakashi's signal, but he can see that Kakashi and the others are approaching each other, and they are trying to step out of the cave. Going far away, this is the rhythm of running!
"Want to escape?"

"Don't even think about it! The prey that comes to your door will never be let go." Scorpion showed a weird smile, and his ten fingers moved at the same time. In an instant, there were seven more people in dark red robes. The puppet of the scorpion appears beside the scorpion
"Sharingan, Shigumai, how could I let go of such precious materials!"

Scorpion said softly.

The ten fingers dance in the air as if playing a piano,

Of course, the melodious and melodious piano sound does not exist. In reality, what appeared in front of Kakashi and the others was a siege of ten puppets, five of which were puppets in the conventional sense, fighting with various poisoned mechanisms, The other five are all human puppets, good at using different ninjutsu, and the five natures of wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth have changed a lot.

【Earth Dungeon Rock Iron Cannon】

【Water Escape·Water Chaos】

【Thunder Escape·Earth Walk】

【Art fire escape ho fireball】

【Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough】

Just like a holiday circus performing magic, the colorful attacks rushed towards Kakashi and the others roaring like a flood that burst a bank. Even the wind dun and the fire dun cooperated, and the thunder dun and the water dun also achieved each other. The escape technique does not hinder the attacks of other ninjutsu at all.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi."

At this moment,
Kakashi didn't take a step back, but instead bravely faced the difficulties.

There is also a method for retreating. It’s not about turning around, exposing your back to the enemy and running with your feet. If you do that, you will be easily killed by the enemy. The more you want to push away, the more you can’t mess up. In addition, if this wave of attacks cannot be stopped, then there is no need to consider the issue of escape.

"Water Escape Water Formation Wall."

The turbulent water waves rolled up from Uchiha Itachi's feet, forming a double defense with the rock wall carved with dog heads summoned by Kakashi. Obviously, both of them knew what to do at this time, and they had nothing to do with ninjutsu Junmaro, who was researching, also stepped forward and stood in front of Kakashi and Itachi.

He was covered with a layer of bones under the skin. In case Kakashi and Itachi failed to block the scorpion's attack, he was a shield in front of them, although his shield was a bit small.
