Chapter 14

Suddenly facing an enemy who could go toe-to-toe with Sakumo in combat, Sosuke did not dare to be reckless.

Moreover, the other party had four jonin, and he was at a disadvantage no matter how he looked at it.

Therefore, Sosuke immediately launched a signal flare.

This time was different from the last attack. He could call for reinforcements, and there was no need for him to risk danger alone.

Now, all he had to do was hold off the enemy steadily. Once Sakumo Hatake arrived, he and Sakumo would easily take down this team together.

Just as he fired the signal flare, Shirou's puppets appeared in front of him.

This time, there were a total of six puppets attacking him. It seemed that he was indeed experienced in battle and knew to leave some puppets to protect his own body.

He then noticed that all these puppets had the symbol of the Senju clan on their clothes.

If he wasn't mistaken, these ten puppets were likely made from the corpses of Senju clan members.

'The Senju Clan was already on the verge of extinction, so how did this guy manage to get so many bodies?'

He couldn't help but wonder if this man was working with Danzo.

Among the six attacking puppets, three were armed with weapons clearly designed for close combat. 

The weapons were coated with purple poison, and it was clear that anyone touched by them would die without a doubt.

Fortunately, Sosuke's speed was incredible. He swiftly dodged and avoided all three puppets with a single movement.

As the attacks from the three puppets hit the ground, they caused a shockwave that shook the ground, even cracking it beneath them.

'Is this the monstrous strength of the Senju Clan!?'

He had grown up with Tsunade and was quite familiar with monstrous strength, recognizing it immediately.

Taking advantage of Sosuke's surprise, the other three puppets also launched their attack.

The three of them stood together, pressing their heads close, and then opened their mouths and unleashed a jutsu without hand seals.

In the next moment, a combined ninjutsu attack of three elements—lightning, wind, and fire attacks came rushing toward Sosuke.

He estimated that this jutsu was at least S-rank, a powerful ninjutsu capable of threatening even the strength of a Kage.

Moreover, with the addition of the lightning and wind attributes, the speed of the attack was incredible. From a distance, it appeared like a light blue laser cannon!

Previously, Sosuke had been caught off guard by Sakumo and learned that his elemental transformation couldn't stop attacks with lightning attributes.

So, he didn't dare to take the attack head-on with his body and could only choose to dodge.

"Boom!"

The terrifying laser flew past Sosuke's ear and struck a small hill behind him.

The hill, about twenty meters high, was instantly reduced to nothing.

At this point, Shirou's strength was on full display, and this one move alone demonstrated the power of a Kage.

...

At the border of Konoha, as soon as they saw the signal flare, they had already been sent to help.

Since it was Sosuke's area where the flare happened, Sakumo was the first to rush over.

He was one of the people who understood Sosuke's strength. If he was requesting reinforcements, it was highly likely that he had encountered Shirou Fumizawa.

"You must hold on, Sosuke..."

After saying this, Sakumo increased his speed even more!

...

After being attacked twice, Sosuke wasn't going to back down. He covered his body with lightning and pulled a short blade from his waist.

This move was the same as Third Raikage, A where he transforms part of his body into lightning, significantly boosting his speed and strength.

Seeing Sosuke in this state, Shirou couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He had naturally seen this technique before and instinctively thought of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode of the Raikage.

The Lightning Release Chakra Mode is a powerful jutsu that is fast like lightning and is extremely effective against puppeteers like them.

Earlier, Sosuke's speed in dodging attacks had already amazed him, making him wonder if he was actually a Tokubetsu Jōnin.

Now that Sosuke had used a move similar to Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Shirou couldn't shake the bad feeling.

Just as he was about to move, Shirou glanced again and saw that he had already disappeared.

Suddenly, one of his team was suddenly knocked out, and his head fell to the ground.
