Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

"A reinforced elite squad, six in number, includes one Jonin, but at least two Special Jonin, and the rest are all skilled. According to intelligence, the leader should be Nara Shikahira of Konoha, and the two Special Jonin should also be ninjas from the Akimichi and Yamanaka clans."

"As for that Uchiha, his identity is temporarily unknown. He possesses a Double Tomoe Sharingan. Capture him as the top priority, and the Yamanaka clan ninja as the second priority. The enemy's sensory ninja is likely him. Eliminate him, and they'll be headless flies in the vast desert."

During the journey, Ishido recounted the intelligence. Shimizu carried the sealing scroll on his back, trailing behind, chakra spreading from his feet as he stepped on the sand.

There is quicksand in the desert, which is very dangerous, but ninjas can even walk on water, so quicksand is not much of a threat.

Before long, Shimizu and his group joined up with Jonin Hisashi.

Because Hisashi was more familiar with the situation here, Ishido handed over command to the former.

"I will lay out the tactical arrangements."

Hisashi is a typical Sunagakure ninja, wearing a white and brown mixed-color robe, with cloth wrapped around his head, tall and thin, with rough and dark skin.

"The Ino-Shika-Cho trio led by Nara Shikahira will be handled by me and Jonin Ishido. The Uchiha ninja will be dealt with by the puppet squad. Kana, you are responsible for assisting the companions of the puppet squad. The others form a encirclement to stop the remaining Konoha ninjas, trying to ensure that the Uchiha can be captured successfully."

"Yes!"

The surrounding ninjas responded in unison.

"Captain, the Ino-Shika-Cho combination has been a tough nut to crack since the Warring States Period. Are you and Captain Ishido sure you're up to it?"

The Sunagakure ninja named Kana asked Hisashi.

"Haha, Kana, even if you look down on me, you can't look down on Captain Ishido. He's no ordinary Jonin puppeteer."

Hisashi laughed heartily.

"Shizuka, lead the way!"

"Yes!"

A female Sunagakure Chunin weaved hand seals, closed her eyes, and began to sense the enemy's location.

"In the northwest direction!"

"Go!"

… …

… …

The configuration of that Konoha squad was very high, and in order to obtain the Sharingan bloodline, Sunagakure had actually put in a lot of effort.

Only two Jonin could be spared, because most of the Jonin were on the front lines, but there were plenty of other ninjas.

The strongest in the Konoha team was the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, but they were steadily suppressed by the two Jonin, Hisashi and Ishido.

Hisashi's strength should not be much stronger than that Konoha Jonin, but Ishido was much stronger.

This man was actually using the highest secret technique of puppetry, just like Chiyo, the White Secret Technique!

Although he couldn't perfectly manipulate ten puppets like Chiyo, and he wasn't using top-level puppets like the Chikamatsu Ten Puppets, he was manipulating five puppets wearing white robes, steadily suppressing the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

This was definitely an elite among Jonin!

"Although this mission is very important, it is actually a training exercise, training the two of you."

Seeing Keno casually manipulating two puppets, besieging the Uchiha with the other two Special Jonin, he explained to Shimizu and Sasori.

"Shimizu, Sasori, this is a good training opportunity. Later, I will let two Konoha ninjas in for you to practice with."

Kana on the other side frowned slightly, said nothing, but became more certain of his guess.

This was to accompany the young masters to gild and train.

In fact, the only real young master was Sasori, and Shimizu was just an extra.

However, Shimizu was also very curious about what he could do now.

Sasori had the same thought.

Although he was gifted, he had never really fought against enemies from other villages since he was a child, including the assessment he had with Shimizu.

"Then I'll trouble Senior Keno and Senior Kana."

Shimizu nodded to the two Special Jonin, then took off the sealing scroll on his back and took out his two puppets.

No mistake, a hand, a hair, an inner, a face, a in, a look!

With a wave of his hands, chakra threads quickly connected to the fat puppet, turning it into countless parts to wrap himself.

The little boy puppet popped out spiral mechanical claws from both hands, eager to try.

"Tch! Damn it! These Suna ninjas are going to use us to train kids!"

A Konoha ninja with a sword who was let in stared at Shimizu and Sasori with a gloomy expression.

The other Konoha ninja, who was back-to-back with him, was an ordinary-looking middle-aged ninja.

"It seems they think they are foolproof, but Takiki, don't forget what Hirano-sama said before, we must hold on! You are responsible for forcing back the puppets, and I will use ninjutsu to attack their main bodies!"

The middle-aged ninja said with a calm expression.

"What are you afraid of! These two guys might be young geniuses from Sunagakure. If we go down together, exchanging our lives for these two guys' lives would be a great bargain! If we can return to the village alive, it would definitely be a great achievement!"

In the sword-wielding ninja's flamboyant words, the middle-aged ninja weaved hand seals and released ninjutsu.

"Fire Release · Flame Bullet!"

A large ball of fire, so hot that even the air was distorted, flew towards Shimizu and Sasori mightily.

"Black Secret Technique · Salamander."

Sasori indifferently stretched out five fingers, manipulating a large lizard-like puppet to stand in front of himself and Shimizu, opening the shield on its back to block the Flame Bullet.

"This Salamander was originally prepared for you."

Sasori said to Shimizu, then manipulated the chakra threads to continue attacking.

"Tsk… A defensive puppet that protects the puppeteer's main body? It seems to be targeting my Tom and Jerry puppet that I developed before."

Shimizu, who was staying in the fat puppet, curled his lips, multitasking, and activated another puppet.

"Black Secret Technique · Little Boy."

"Black Secret Technique · Termite."

Two figures quickly bypassed the Salamander and rushed forward.

After mastering the Black Secret Technique, both Shimizu and Sasori had the ability to manipulate two puppets alone.
