Spicy Girl
Lin Ke's hand forming seals stopped, and a Stand, entirely pink with obvious feminine features, appeared behind him.
Its green pupils were devoid of any emotion, its small lips slightly parted, and the symbols of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division were visible all over its body.
[This is it, the Stand Spicy Girl, Power and Speed Rank A, capable of turning objects into rubber-like softness upon touch, while also increasing their toughness]
The Stand's abilities flashed through his mind, and he got used to the dual perspective of controlling the Stand's actions—
Possession-type Stands were like activating an ability, but this kind of completely independent humanoid Stand was like controlling another body at the same time.
Many Stands, aside from activating their abilities, had slow speeds and low strength levels, making it impossible to interfere in a ninja battle, so there was no point in bothering to control them.
But Power and Speed Rank A couldn't be wasted.
After getting used to it, Lin Ke controlled Spicy Girl to touch the clothes of the four.
"Ah!" Kankuro, who had been fully alert, was startled when he suddenly felt his clothes soften and stick directly to his skin. Mainly, he was wearing a hat and was the most covered up. After the clothes were altered, they almost covered his eyes. Instinctively thinking he had fallen victim to an enemy's technique, he took out a Kunai and slashed at his own clothes.
"Squeak~"
The clothes, which looked very soft like plasticine, only deformed to a certain extent under the impact of the Kunai, but did not even cut a small opening.
Gaara next to him reacted even more intensely, and sand directly wrapped his body completely, trying to peel off the clothes sticking to him.
"Don't be nervous, this is my technique, used to protect your bodies."
Lin Ke controlled the softened clothes to wrap as much of his exposed skin as possible. The objects softened by Spicy Girl possessed extremely tough properties. Even if they deformed and transmitted power when attacked due to being too soft, they could still defend against a considerable amount of piercing damage.
The damage from being poked with a stick was completely different from the damage from being pierced by a Kunai.
Especially since the opponent was a puppeteer who specialized in poison, not being injured on the skin meant there was no need to worry about being poisoned.
Hearing this, Temari touched the sticky, rubber-like clothes on her body. Surprised, she relaxed and carefully observed the situation.
Gaara showed an uncomfortable expression, but Kankuro, who had reacted the most violently at first, quickly adapted and even took the initiative to wrap his cheeks with the soft hat. Combined with his black clothes, he looked like a Japanese thief.
"Underground!"
Lin Ke shouted and jumped away. As a ninja who specialized in Earth Release and also possessed a certain Chakra sensing ability, he was the first to notice the abnormality underground.
His three subordinates followed and jumped away without hesitation.
The ground then broke open, and Deidara jumped out, his whole body swelling up.
"Boom!"
After a violent explosion, the ground, which had already been loosened by the Earth Dragon Concealment Technique, directly collapsed.
"Too bad, hmm…" Deidara stood on a tree in the distance, his hands clasped in front of him, the sound of chewing clay constantly ringing out.
"I'm counting on you, Sasori-danna!" He felt a little troubled by his dwindling Chakra and shouted, "Be careful not to be killed by these brats."
Sasori of the Red Sand, with his red hair, stood in front of the disheveled Yakushi Kabuto. The shadow guards had already been dealt with, and the Human Puppet Third Kazekage was floating quietly in the air, its modified mouth open, and dense iron sand was constantly pouring out.
[Against Lin Ke, I can't hold back, and I can't attack at close range…] He waved the extended Chakra threads with both hands.
The iron sand flew like raindrops.
"Swoosh!"
A broken tree was thrown out by Spicy Girl, and it deformed in the air due to its altered properties and wind resistance.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!" Dense hitting sounds came from the air.
The iron sand, which was sharp enough to easily penetrate rocks and steel, was actually completely blocked by the deformed tree, and not even one grain could break through. Even the tree stagnated and retreated under the force of the iron sand, and was even completely deformed…
But, it failed to break through.
[This is?!]
Sasori paused. A material that could easily withstand iron sand, was it another new technique?
[It's not over yet—] While Lin Ke had his shadow launch a sneak attack, he canceled the change to the tree, and the deformed tree trunk suddenly bounced back under the effect of the ability.
"Chirp!!!"
The iron sand that was stuck to the tree trunk and had not broken through the defense was sent back with the same force.
"Ding ding ding! Crack!"
The Human Puppet Third Kazekage stood in front of Sasori of the Red Sand, barely managing to control a portion of the Iron Sand for defense. Amidst the clanging of Iron Sand, a dozen shadows leaped out from the two-dimensional space, launching relentless attacks. The interfered Human Puppet didn't move an inch to protect its puppeteer, and a portion of the scattered Iron Sand riddled most of its body.
Only its head, half of its torso, and one arm remained floating in the air.
"Pfft!"
Sasori of the Red Sand, unable to dodge in time, had his clothes torn apart, revealing a puppet-like body. Ten blades, like outstretched claws, rotated on his back, instantly shredding several approaching shadows. Even the shadow rising beneath him was annihilated in an instant, chunks of black shadow falling to the ground, unable to rise again.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Spikes and cables extending from his abdomen weaved through the swarm of shadows as if they were alive, completing over thirty kills in a mere second or two.
At this moment, the sand on the ground tightly enveloped him. Gaara stood on the sand in mid-air, his palm quickly clenching.
"Bang!" The sand was violently shattered.
"Gah~"
Sasori of the Red Sand's abdominal cables wrapped around the Crow puppet not far away. He looked at the damaged Third Kazekage, his face expressionless, but a subtle change flickered in his eyes.
[Crap, Sasori of the Red Sand is getting angry]
Deidara thought silently, watching Sasori of the Red Sand's eyes.
"Bang!" White smoke billowed, and a massive flying dragon appeared behind him.
He jumped onto the dragon's head, sweat streaming down his forehead. He had been playing too hard in the Land of Rivers' Capital, and he had rushed to catch up, even leaving a Clay Clone to say hello. His Chakra was less than half full, and joining the battle would indeed be dangerous.
So, he had to ensure that even if they couldn't capture their target, they could still escape.
[How could this be...] Kankuro had intended to use his puppet to assist his teammates, but the Crow had barely approached when—
"Don't use my old creations to attack me," Sasori of the Red Sand said coldly, the cables gradually tightening.
"Crack~ Bang!"
The Crow puppet was mercilessly crushed by its own creator.
"Get out of the way!" Temari pulled away Kankuro, who had momentarily lost his focus due to the destruction of his puppet and the ineffectiveness of his attack.
The Human Puppet Third Kazekage's palm spewed out a large number of Kunai.
"Thud!"
Sand suddenly coalesced in front of the two, riddled with Kunai.
"Pfft~" The Exploding Tags on the Kunai lit up.
