Red sand dust

Even though the audience was watching from a high position, they could not feel the oppression of nearly two adult-sized monsters staring at them. They were still amazed by the power of Kurama Yakumo's obsession, and at the same time they were worried about Miss Saya who was at a disadvantage.

Sympathy for the weak is really one of the emotions that is unavoidable for the general public.

It's just that Miss Saya doesn't think that she is weaker than the other party's hateful, fake-smiling cat. As the successor of the puppet master of the spiritual school in Sand Hidden Village, she has really put in a lot of effort in the past two years.

And Kurama Yakumo did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but was leisurely waiting for Miss Saya to make a move.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Miss Saya, who was originally indistinguishable from a real person, seemed to suddenly appear as a prototype of a dummy. First, the skin on her body turned pale and bloodless, her eyes also lost their agility, and the corners of her mouth It even cracked to the pinna of the ear, and the pretty face suddenly looked like a ghost that had taken off its disguise.

"Although I have long regretted your aesthetics, I didn't expect that your puppet substitute would be so weird..."

"You can just talk about your cynicism now!"

Kurama Yakumo's ridicule made Miss Saya, who was not very good-tempered to begin with, even more furious. Her collapsed face became even more ferocious. Her cracked mouth opened wide, and a large number of puppets, together with those who had been channeled, became even more angry. All dolls of the same style were swallowed by him.

Such a scene left the audience stunned.

A puppet larger than several people was "eaten". The strange puppet that was placed in the open as a stand-in did not feel "stuffed" at all. Instead, a strange squirming sound came from its body.

"What kind of puppet made of biomass materials has such a high polymerization efficiency?" 』

Even Daimaru found it strange that if such a magical puppet existed, the Suna Ninja would no longer be the unlucky ones who failed repeatedly in battles.

Based on the characteristics of the material, a skilled puppet stylist can come up with many tricks. Even the forbidden art of human puppets has no driving force to appear.

This is not a question of whether it is powerful or not, but a magical material that leads to a revolutionary leap in the puppet master's tactical system.

What's more, Miss Saya's puppet seemed to be giving birth to something after devouring more of the same kind.

Countless big shots were watching overtly or covertly, waiting for the next change.

Tsunade couldn't help but ask Gaara:

"Does your village still have such a weird puppetry technique?"

The young Kazekage Godaime thought for a long time and couldn't figure out what Miss Saya was doing. However, Kankuro's expression changed slightly, and he bent down and whispered a few words behind Gaara.

"It's really a 'righteous man' puppet, are you sure?"

"I also happened to read some secrets about the puppet master. Judging from the description, it looks very similar to what I saw before, so it shouldn't be wrong!"

The two murmured in a low voice, which naturally could not be hidden from Temari who was not far away. Through Yamabuki's mental connection, Daimaru also understood immediately.

"Such a forbidden technique is really not a smoke bomb for the "war accident" in Sunagakure Village? 』

Sunagakure Village, which has been repeatedly defeated, although the first three ninja wars were disastrous defeats, it was still able to escape unscathed and retain most of its own interests.

This is not entirely due to the kindness of the victor, Konohagakure, and the help of Suna Ninja. Sunagakure Village, which suffered heavy losses, still has a trump card to defeat the enemy even if it admits defeat.

Not everyone is qualified to start a war and then admit defeat. Being destroyed by two nuclear bombs is called unconditional surrender, giving up resistance and letting others slaughter you. Whether you live or die depends on the winner. To admit defeat, you have to bargain at the negotiation table. At least you still have the chance to retain your strength and make a comeback.

Apart from the one-tailed Jinchuuriki on the surface, the "Righteous Man" puppet that has only been boasted about but never seen by others is one of the trump cards that is rumored to be miraculous among the puppet masters of Sunagakure Village.

Because it has been so long and there are indeed no battle examples to speak of, many of today's young sand ninja puppet masters have regarded it as an "urban ghost story" or something like that.

Even Daimaru had only heard of it and regarded it as a taboo existence similar to a "human puppet" that had not been perfected by some genius.

Even the memory of "Red Sand Scorpion" has no memory of this magical puppet technique, and "Chiyo" doesn't even mention it at all. Most of the younger generation of Sand Ninja don't even remember their names.

Suddenly seeing this weird thing that even Kazekage couldn't recognize at a glance, other ninjas knew nothing about it.

Since the so-called "Righteous Man" puppet is not used as a conventional tactical method and is kept secret, there is no doubt that it is a forbidden technique. It either has huge flaws or the user pays a high price.

Logically speaking, this duel was just a chuunin exam. Even if it was just out of anger, it would not be possible to use such a dangerous forbidden technique that could injure the enemy eight hundred and damage oneself three thousand.

So that means that there is now a way to make up for the shortcomings, or is this method more suitable for Miss Saya?

"Perhaps, the emergence of the "Psychic Puppet" and the establishment of the "Cradle Garden" were not a whim, but Miss Saya had planned it for a long time, and I just cooperated along the way! 』

In an instant, Daimaru had a deep understanding of why Miss Saya and the forces behind her could become one of the pillars of Sunagakure Village.

"The place of righteousness is that even if you die, you will have no regrets!"

Being named the "Righteous Man" puppet basically proves that the puppet master who uses it is on the verge of a dead end.

What's the most serious problem with the Puppet Master's forbidden technique? Just look at what happened to the Red Sand Scorpion. The first is the ethical issue, which goes without saying, and the second is the harm to the puppet master himself.

The Red Sand Scorpion has transformed itself into a human being. Like Chiyo, there are many people who transform part of their limbs into puppets. Kankuro has also warned Daimaru for a long time that he will not accept an inhuman guy as his brother-in-law. .

The choice between "self-mutilation" and the use of forbidden arts has always been an inescapable topic for the puppet masters of Sunagakure Village.

"So, the so-called "replacement puppet" is really her puppet body? No wonder it's a bit too powerful, even I can't find the main body, and... depending on the situation, even Kurama Yakumo can't find it! But, how do you keep yourself from turning into an inhuman monster? 』

Half a minute later, Miss Saya, who had swallowed up all the puppets including the fragments, suddenly began to violently stir up chakra around her body, and then transformed into a charming girl wearing colorful clothes. Her face vaguely resembled that of Miss Saya, but her lavender hair was floating. Like tangled puppet threads, it quickly tied the opponent's arms and neck holding the two swords.

At the same time, his dexterous hands shook and weaved into an almost invisible large web of chakra threads, covering his opponent's head.

I can’t finish the second chapter. I’ll finish it tomorrow.
