Chp-81: Oh My God! The Puppets are Attacking Their Puppeteers!

"I'm not targeting you specifically."

"I'm saying that everyone here is trash..."

Satoru's calm words hit like a boulder thrown into a lake, creating immediate ripples of agitation among the surrounding puppeteers and Chiyo. Their faces contorted with fury as they glared at Satoru, barely restraining themselves from tearing him apart on the spot.

"Young man, I advise you not to be too arrogant!"

Chiyo took a deep breath, trying to steady her emotions, gritting her teeth as she stared at Satoru. This might be his ploy to provoke them, disrupt their focus, and then sneak in with a kunai attack.

Satoru's miraculous magnetic ability had left a deep impression on her, with the horrific state of the surrounding Sand ninjas still fresh in her mind. She could not afford to let his plan succeed.

"What's the point of being young if you're not a little arrogant?"

Satoru rolled his eyes, playing along with Chiyo's setup.

"Hmph, Konoha's newest prodigy, huh? They say you earned that title by defeating White Fang's son."

Chiyo snorted.

"In a way, I should thank you. I have a deep-seated grudge against White Fang. My son and daughter-in-law died at that scumbag's hands."

Satoru sighed and rolled his eyes again.

"Stop with the petty tricks."

Behind him, two puppets that had been sneaking up on him suddenly convulsed, their bodies twisting in uncontrollable spasms and emitting creaking noises.

"Trying to distract me with front-line conversation while sneaking puppets behind me, Chiyo, you are too cautious for an aged Kage-level fighter..."

"You..."

Chiyo's pupils contracted.

She had been trying to distract Satoru, noticing that his Byakugan wasn't activated, hoping to deal with him at minimal cost. But it seemed...

Satoru's magnetic control could affect puppets, too!

The two puppets sneaking up on Satoru contorted bizarrely, striking obscene poses and performing an explicit show mid-air.

"Is Satoru's magnetic control really this terrifying?"

"Even affecting puppets..."

The Konoha ninjas, initially rushing to support Satoru, were dumbfounded.

It was their first time witnessing a puppet porno.

In terms of precision and movement, even the best puppeteers were outclassed.

Every joint's motion, every angle of opening and closing, even the perfect amount of trembling, all exemplified...

What it means to be a puppet superstar! (Strategic retreat)

Uchiha Rin blushed, sighing in exasperation.

"Satoru's twisted sense of humour..."

Having been with Satoru for so long, she knew his magnetic control wasn't limited to kunai and shuriken. He could control any metal!

This was why she stopped the Konoha ninjas from rushing in to help. These fearsome puppets were just toys for Satoru.

The two puppets, after a moment of shuddering, disassembled, revealing twisted metal parts.

Satoru snorted.

Don't tell me who they are!

Don't tell me how many there are!

As long as they're puppeteers!

I can massacre them all!

Chiyo's eyes reflected three parts shock, three parts daze, and four parts despair.

She realized how profoundly wrong she was.

Satoru's magnetic control wasn't just limited to kunai and shuriken; it could also manipulate the specialized metals within puppets!

Puppets needed metal for joint movement and structural strength.

In other words...

Puppeteers posed no threat to Satoru!

A deep sense of dread and sorrow filled her heart. She had never felt such fear despite her decades of battle experience.

What did this ability mean?

If Satoru led a team of elites, he could march straight into the Sand Village, like Zhao Zilong charging seven times through enemy lines!

Half of the Sand Village's force comprised puppeteers, and to Satoru, they were just fodder.

The remaining ninjas, unable to use kunai and shuriken, would see their strength greatly diminished.

He must not be allowed to live!

After the fear, only intense killing intent remained.

He must not survive!

At his current age, he hadn't reached his peak. Once fully matured...

Chiyo took a sharp breath.

He could single-handedly destroy a nation!

The Sand Village would be wiped out!

She took a deep breath, calming her mind, and ordered with a cold voice.

"All puppeteers fall back! Retrieve all puppets immediately!"

Upon hearing Chiyo's command, the surrounding puppeteers quickly reacted, trying to recall their puppets.

But it was too late.

"After all this arrogance, you think you can just leave?"

Satoru sneered.

The surrounding puppets twitched and then, like rabid animals, turned their weapons on their puppeteers.

"Oh my God! The puppets are attacking the puppeteers!"

Someone shouted in horror, and chaos erupted.

The puppets, still connected by blue chakra threads, went berserk, chasing down and hacking at their masters.

Like chopping meat, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, their swords kept falling.

It was too brutal...

The Konoha ninjas watching felt their eyelids twitch.

Even with all their experience, they had never seen anything so gruesome—a puppeteer being dismembered by their own puppet.

Who could they complain to?

They looked at Satoru with growing fear.

Chiyo ground her teeth, almost shattering them. Training puppeteers was different from training regular ninjas, requiring immense resources, and each puppet also took a considerable toll on resources.

Now, it was all ruined...

Her eyes seemed to bleed as she glared at Satoru, wishing to flay him alive.

"Magnet Release overcomes puppet control?"

Such an unscientific magnetic ability was unheard of!

Clearly, as Satoru manipulated the puppets, the puppeteers were struggling to control them.

But it was futile!

At best, they could slow the puppet's attack or make it hesitate.

It not only failed to help but made their deaths more excruciating.

"If that's the case..."

Chiyo took a deep breath, her eyes full of killing intent, and took out a scroll, throwing it high.

"Puppets made by the Puppet Master Founder, can you control these too?"

The large white scroll unfurled, revealing ten glowing, twisting characters.

In an instant, they transformed into ten eerie puppets clad in white robes.
