Chapter 119 The Death of Konoha's White Fang?
Chapter 119 The Death of Konoha's White Fang?
"Magnetic Escape: Iron Sand Triangular Pyramid!"
"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Cylinder!"
"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Cube!"
"Magnetic Release!..."
Sasori continuously manipulated the puppet to release Magnet Release ninjutsu. In theory, Magnet Release ninjutsu is difficult to dodge because the iron sand gathered together by magnetic force itself has a huge magnetic force.
These magnetic forces attract the metal objects on the ninja's body, thus restricting their movement.
For example, the ninja sword in Konoha's White Fang's hand, the blades in his weapon bag, the headband on his head, and even the buttons and zippers on his clothes are all made of metal.
However, Sasori noticed that apart from the ninja sword in Konoha's White Fang's hand being affected by the magnetic force, the others were not affected in the slightest.
But it wasn't like this when I fought the Third Kazekage before.
"Your puppetry skills are impressive, capable of creating puppets of such a high standard. However, you are not the Third Kazekage. Even if your puppets have mastered his techniques, they are still not him."
"Shut up! You murderer who killed my parents, stop lecturing me like an elder!"
Sasori swung his hands, increasing his chakra output.
"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Boundary Technique!"
The Third Kazekage Puppet opened its mouth and instantly spewed out a large amount of iron sand. The iron sand transformed into a steel thorn barrier in the air, and a large number of sharp spikes fell from the sky, strangling towards Hatake Sakumo.
Sakumo Hatake was agile, as if he could predict the landing point of all attacks, either dodging or slicing through the iron sand with a single sword strike.
It managed to wander around within this sand and iron barrier.
"As expected of Konoha's White Fang! But do you still have the energy to deal with this attack?!"
Sasori waved his hands, enduring the weakness caused by the massive depletion of his chakra, and released another ninjutsu.
"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Spinner!"
A barrage of iron sand spikes fell, restricting Sakumo Hatake's movements. At the same time, a giant iron sand triangular pyramid gathered in the sky, spinning rapidly and instantly transforming into a black top that crashed down on him.
"Tsk, if someone got hit by that, they'd be turned into minced meat."
But he has no other choice now; his escape route is blocked.
Right now, there is only one choice: to fight.
Sakumo Hatake raised the White Fang Ninja Sword in his hand.
"Hatake Style, White Blade Light Fang Dance Flash!"
The black iron sand top fell, while Hatake Sakumo swung his ninja sword, slashing out white streaks in the air. These streaks overlapped, resembling a white chrysanthemum.
However, the collision between the black iron sand and the white sword light did not occur as imagined.
Sakumo Hatake's initial goal was not that giant iron sand top.
He slashed through the obstacles and charged straight at Scorpion himself.
When fighting a puppeteer, engaging in combat with their puppets is the biggest mistake; directly attacking and killing the puppeteer himself is the best choice.
However, as a genius puppeteer, Sasori would naturally not allow Sakumo Hatake to get close.
So, Shuo Mao had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity he never expected.
He got the opportunity he was waiting for. When a person feels that they are about to succeed, it is often when their guard is at its lowest.
Just like before, Sasori felt that Sakumo Hatake had nowhere to escape and that his only option was to fight against the Iron Sand Top. Only by winning would he have a chance to continue fighting.
Even if he did win, the time it took for Sasori to break through the Iron Sand Top would have been enough for him to regroup and launch a new offensive.
This was the opportunity that Hatake Sakumo had been waiting for. He had already discovered the flaw in the Sand Iron World Technique. If the Third Kazekage himself had used this move, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape. But unfortunately, Sasori was not the Third Kazekage.
Breaking through the barrier, in the blink of an eye, Hatake Sakumo had already rushed in front of Sasori.
"Hatake Style: White Fang Flash!"
Another slash was delivered, this time aimed straight for the scorpion's throat.
However, Scorpion laughed.
The Third Kazekage's puppet stood between Sasori and Sakumo Hatake, its arm, hidden beneath a wide robe, extending out. This puppet's arm had long been modified by Sasori, transforming into a massive blade.
"Die, Sakumo Hatake!"
"Whoosh!"
Sakumo Hatake's White Fang blade severed one of the Third Kazekage's puppet's arms, while the blade of the Third Kazekage's other arm pierced through White Fang's body.
"Hehe, I've succeeded. There's a special poison on the blade. You've already lost. Become my new puppet."
When Scorpion saw that White Fang's body had been pierced, he immediately revealed a smug smile.
"I won't let you succeed."
Sakumo Hatake retreated repeatedly, made a hand seal, and the next moment, his whole body burst into flames.
"Damn it, you actually dared to set yourself on fire!"
Sasori immediately manipulated the puppet to try and stop Hatake Sakumo, but it was too late. Flames erupted, and Hatake Sakumo was burned to ashes right before Sasori's eyes, leaving only a white ninja sword stuck in the grass.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!"
Sasori roared angrily. Although he had killed Hatake Sakumo and completed his revenge, he never expected that the guy would hold on to his last breath and burn himself to death, leaving no trace of his body.
This greatly diminished the satisfaction he felt from the revenge he had finally achieved.
However, at least one White Fang Ninja Sword can be kept as a memento.
Just as he reached out to pull out the White Fang Ninja Blade, a sudden suction force burst forth, pulling the White Fang Ninja Blade away.
"Who goes there!"
"Hello~! Hello, buddy! My name is Afei. Nice to meet you!"
A slightly comical voice rang out.
Scorpion saw a person dressed in a black robe and wearing a yellow swirling mask.
"Tobi, you are the Tobi who appeared on the battlefield of Amegakure with Uchiha Madara back then!"
"Oh my, I didn't expect you to know me, red-haired guy! Am I that famous? This is really great, hehehehe!"
Ah Fei twisted her body affectedly, looking very shy and embarrassed.
But Scorpion felt immense pressure from this comical clown. His subconscious told him that this guy was strong and he shouldn't fight him lightly.
Keep in mind that he had just gone through a major battle. Konoha's White Fang was no ordinary opponent. That battle had depleted most of his chakra. If he were to fight again now for a ninja sword, it would definitely not be a wise choice.
"Hey, redhead, what's wrong? You look really unhappy. Is it because of this knife?"
Scorpion didn't speak, but A-Fei continued talking to himself.
"If it's because of this knife, then I'm sorry, I can't give it to you, because I also really like this knife."
Also, if you're alright, young man, please leave the Land of Grass as soon as possible. The Land of Grass is about to become very dangerous.
Listening to Tobi's words, Sasori pondered: since Tobi is here, does that mean that Madara Uchiha is also here?
If that's the case, then the Land of Grass is truly in great danger right now.
"I understand, I'll be going now."
Scorpion put away the puppet and turned to leave.
"It's alright, they're quite easy to talk to."
Tetsuya looked at Sasori's slightly flustered back and saw him quickly leave the Land of Grass, heading towards the Land of Earth.
