Chapter 50 I have professional acting skills

As the saying goes, blackening strengthens tenfold. The current Nagato trio had not only just stepped onto the glorious path of pursuing their dreams, but also appeared immature due to their refusal to kill. How could they be a match for Sasori of the Red Sand, who had stepped into darkness for several years?

"Too green. Humans, in the end, are just such naive things." Looking at the two rushing to help Yahiko, Sasori laughed mockingly.

These opponents had infinite potential and formidable strength, but they were too green, extremely lacking in combat experience. That kid with the strange eyes hadn't even fully controlled his power yet.

But it didn't matter. In his hands, the opponent's bloodline limit would become the most perfect work of art.

Bang—

Another puff of smoke rose, and a puppet wearing blue and white robes appeared, its hair like hedgehog quills.

Compared to later generations, although everyone was in a semi-finished state, Sasori held an incomparable trump card!

"Don't worry about me, you guys be careful." Yahiko gasped for breath, feeling as if a furnace was burning inside his body. The moment he saw that puppet, he felt something was wrong.

The sound of tearing air rang out; Sasori actually seized this opportunity to directly launch an attack.

"Shield!"

Scattered pieces of paper formed a pure white shield in the rain. A pitch-black long sword made of iron sand struck it, paused for a moment, and instantly pierced through.

The blade edge came down towards the head. Nagato abruptly raised both hands.

"Get away!!"

Beep—

A strange sound effect occurred. The pitch-black long sword instantly shattered into iron sand filling the sky, yet after flying backward, it surrounded them like flowing water from all directions.

"Let's see how many times you can block?"

The roaming iron sand regrouped again, but this time countless iron needles pierced the heart. With another strange explosive sound, the iron needles also shattered. But just as they were scattered, they quickly reformed into long spears thrusting back.

This time, the strange repulsive force didn't appear. Instead, white paper formed a sphere enveloping the three inside. This made Sasori, testing from afar, raise the corner of his mouth.

"Does that secret technique have an interval? Or is the consumption too great?"

Three enemies were quite troublesome. Fortunately, the poisoned companion dragged their feet, forcing them into passive defense.

Forget counterattacking; if the defense loosened for even a moment, Yahiko would definitely be pierced by ten thousand arrows.

"Truly touching. But your secret technique doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. What now?" Looking at the white sphere, Sasori slowly raised both hands, a huge black cone forming above his head.

"Try blocking this!!"

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Tri-Prism!

This was no longer as simple as a spearhead. The paper spear Konan threw earlier was simply laughably like a toy. Facing the overwhelming pressure, the sphere instantly shattered open a gap, and the frail teenager actually took the initiative to meet it head-on.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Boom!!

Like a comet hitting the Earth, the mountain peak made of iron sand actually crumbled into slag before the ant. Sand curtain filled the sky, flying backward, blocking the sun which only had a sliver of remaining light.

"Such terrifying defensive power." Sasori held his breath, having never seen such a powerful defensive ninjutsu in the world. But a smile reappeared on his face.

"However, I won!"

What!?

Nagato, in the air, saw the black 'tide' fly backward, then quickly reform into countless long needles shooting back, like a torrential storm, wave after wave.

"Yahiko! Konan!!"

The poisoned Yahiko couldn't move. Even if Konan used paper clones, one would have to die. At this moment, he无比 (incomparably) hated himself for not properly training these eyes over the years.

Earth Release: Earth Flow Fortress!

The needles were still a hundred meters away. At this moment, the ground trembled and rose, enveloping the two inside like a shield. And those densely packed long needles stabbed into the surface, instantly forming a hedgehog.

Incredibly fast, without warning. Forget Sasori and Nagato outside; even Konan didn't react, just staring blankly at the person wearing a bamboo hat and mask before her.

"What are you still stunned for? Did you run out of paper?"

A low voice came. Konan, as if waking from a dream, quickly clapped her hands together.

"Defend!"

Another smaller white paper sphere enveloped the three. An instant later, the iron needles that pierced through the rock wall linked together. Poisonous iron needles almost filled every inch of space.

Extremely decisive!

It turned out that upon discovering someone had intervened, Sasori immediately released "Iron Sand World Method". In an instant, a forest of black iron rose on the open ground before the village, leaving only space around Nagato to stand.

"Didn't kill them?" he murmured lightly, his left ring finger twitching again; a puppet had already been destroyed.

"The Konoha rats actually survived."

Sasori hadn't paid any attention to the remaining two Konoha ANBU members. But he saw Nagato land beside the earth mound. After a 'beep' sound, a large empty space was cleared. This made his brow twitch several times.

He's already this strong while still inexperienced. Wouldn't he ascend to heaven once proficient?

Sasori didn't act rashly for the time being. Meanwhile, on Otonashi's side, when the iron needles and earth wall disappeared simultaneously, he happened to meet Nagato's eyes.

"Wh-who are you?" the frail teenager asked uncertainly.

"Who I am isn't important," Otonashi replied in a deep voice, quickly turning around. Before Konan could react, he stuffed a pill into the already unconscious Yahiko's mouth.

"What did you feed him!?" Konan was full of vigilance.

"Antidote pill. This poison is very potent. If you don't want him to die, take this kid far away." Handing over the precious medicine left by Tsunade, Otonashi didn't even blink.

Watching Yahiko's heavy breathing gradually calm down, gratitude flashed across Konan's face. She nodded silently, picked up her companion, and leaped far away.

Sasori didn't just stand by watching. Just as the two leaped, the forest of iron needles instantly collapsed, turning into long needles filling the sky, whistling away.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!!

Piercing the rain curtain, the long needles were even denser than the heavy rain of the Land of Rain. But without needing a reminder, Nagato jumped in front of his companions.

Beep—

The steel rain reversed direction, the defensive range actually larger than before.

"Actually growing during battle!" Sasori also felt the 'this child must not be left alive' mentality rising. As a result, before he could launch a second attack during the interval, the rock in front of him suddenly exploded.

Otonashi, who had been moving underground using Earth Release earlier, suddenly shot out, his right hand firmly gripping the hilt of the sword behind his back.

Distance: ten meters. Everything seemed to stand still. The eyes behind the mask met Sasori's for an instant—

Clang!!

Sword drawn!

Gate of Injury, open!

The long sword cut through the rain curtain, like drawing a sword to cut water. Before the sound arrived, the sword had already reached!

Splash—

The humanoid puppet blocking the way was directly cut in half at the waist, leaving an arc-shaped sword mark in the air.

Stepping forward, splashing muddy water like flowers, Otonashi faced the second puppet coming to block the sword, gripping with both hands. The swift downward chop seemed capable of splitting a mountain!

Wind Blade Collapsing Moon!!

Though still three meters away, the puppet was actually cut in half from the middle, as if sliced by an invisible blade.

That invisible blade continued to extend until it cut a deep mark on the surface of the suddenly emerged wall of iron sand!

"Not on the same level as those rats!"

Water dripped from the tip of his nose; it was unknown whether it was rain or sweat. Sasori had no time for further thought; his peripheral vision already caught four afterimages coming from left, right, top, and bottom, the long swords in their hands shining brightly.

Shadow Clone Technique—

Four Symbols Formation Kill!
