Defeated
The human puppets crackled in the roaring flames and were quickly charred.
"Crack!" Another human puppet was cut in half by Wind Blade.
Uchiha Fugaku and Maki stood guard in front of Earth Dragon like door gods, each holding the blades and Kunai they had just obtained, watching the onrushing human puppets, feeling very strained.
Even after losing his Original Body, Sasori of the Red Sand had managed to assemble a human puppet army of dozens with varying levels of strength in the short time since their last encounter.
Facing two Jonin is not a big problem.
"Chi!" The shadows lurking on the ground attacked the human puppet Sasori was using from all angles.
The core of flesh with the character 'Scorpion' written on it was extremely conspicuous and would inevitably become the focus of concentrated fire.
Two human puppets in mid-air were pulled back by Chakra threads, wielding their weapons to behead the shadows. At the same time, Uchiha Fugaku and Maki also smashed several human puppets from another direction.
"Huff!"
Sand and Wind Release attacked from the side together, also achieving some results, except for Kankuro... Not only did his newly acquired puppet not achieve any results, but it was also taken away by its original owner at the speed of light, causing him to stand in the distance with a bitter face, holding a Kunai and watching the show.
Losing stealth and unable to attack by surprise, the shadow's frontal combat ability in this kind of battle can only be used as bait to trade with human puppets.
[There are still thirty-seven puppets, I need to deal with these annoying guys first...]
Sasori was not affected. Thirty-seven Chakra threads connected the remaining puppets from his chest, covering him from all directions as he continued to charge towards his target.
[He wants close combat, why?]
Lin Ke was not inflated and careless because of the advantage of the dragon riders. He looked down at the battle situation and calmly thought in his heart.
In the last battle, he was the one trying to close the distance, proving that the other party might know his information—
That yin-yang person Zetsu from Akatsuki spies everywhere. Once a lot of information is used, it is difficult to hide it, so he has been deliberately keeping some trump cards for a long time.
So theoretically, this should also be a battle where he attacks and the opponent defends or escapes.
At first, he thought Sasori would escape with Deidara, but he didn't expect this guy to stay alone, and he seemed to have dropped his ring and left Akatsuki.
Of course, he wouldn't ignore the huge changes that occurred in the two battles. Could it be that the other party has some close combat ability that can defeat him? The change in the plot was still within Lin Ke's expectations, but the original familiar plot characters may show abilities that they never had in the comics, which is a bit beyond the outline.
[I must get a Hermit Purple when I get back to investigate the culprit carefully]
He thought, letting the shadows continue to cooperate with the two thugs to clear out the human puppets.
Sasori also needs a carrier to transfer his core. Summoning Jutsu is not Amenotejikara, it must be prepared in advance, even the Flying Thunder God Technique requires a specific formula.
In the battle just now, he would rather let the puppet protect himself than transfer the core, proving that it is impossible to transfer during the battle? Or, when transferring, there is no way to control the human puppet.
This is more reasonable. When Summoning Jutsu transfers the core, it is impossible to release Chakra threads to control the puppet at the same time.
However, it is not ruled out that Sasori can summon his core away from a long distance. Whether it is Summoning Jutsu or Reverse Summoning, they are both very rogue things.
Lin Ke's expression was calm. Whether it was his bulging wallet or other hidden trump cards, it was enough for him to face such an enemy more calmly.
[Let me see what you are hiding, Sasori]
——"Sasori really knew a lot of things in your head, Yakushi Kabuto."
Orochimaru gazed at the lively battlefield from afar and said leisurely.
It was the first time he had seen such a persistent Sasori of the Red Sand, but his experiment was indeed attractive enough to smart people.
"That's also something that can't be helped, Orochimaru-sama." Yakushi Kabuto's hands were wrapped in bandages and hung naturally on both sides of his body.
Escaping from Deidara and Sasori in the Land of Rivers was not without any cost. He not only gave up a lot of information in his head, but also triggered the Five Elements Sealing, lost his hands, and is standing here at this moment instead of lying in the laboratory, just because the experiment has made new progress.
Now, he has voluntarily become a test subject from the identity of an assistant in order not to be abandoned.
But for some reason, he felt much more relaxed.
Maybe it's because the Five Elements Sealing on his body means that he won't be abandoned except for death and loss of consciousness? Thinking about it, the Cursed Seal on his neck was constantly spreading, and then triggered the Five Elements Sealing on the body surface. Thin, dark purple lines were densely covered on the skin, looking like the whole person was divided into countless pieces.
"Kabuto." Orochimaru reached out and pressed his shoulder.
"Sorry, Orochimaru-sama." Yakushi Kabuto lowered his head to express his apology for losing control.
He has an extremely strong talent in Medical Ninjutsu and Chakra control, and his control over his body is terrifyingly high. He belongs to the innate experimental holy body.
Yes, the kind that is experimented on.
The balance between the Cursed Seal and the Original Body cells in Kimimaro gave him and Orochimaru a lot of inspiration, making them realize that the powerful natural energy brought by the Seal was not out of control or manic. On the contrary, the composition and operation of these natural energies had strict rules.
The role of the Cursed Seal is to effectively break the balance, causing the natural energy attracted by the Original Body cells to continuously appear in a disordered state, so that people can control and utilize the energy existing in the body.
No matter what kind of natural energy it is, the erosion of the body is unavoidable. This is also why cultivating Sage Mode requires a large amount of Chakra. Without a sufficient amount of Chakra, one will die directly after coming into contact with excessively powerful natural energy.
The reason why the natural energy brought by Lin Ke's Seal is valued and emphasized by Orochimaru lies in—
While eroding and destroying the body, these natural energies are still trying to repair the body. Destruction and new life are like the front and back of them.
The ideal application is that the body regenerates infinitely, using the power of destruction to fight the enemy, ensuring the order between natural energies, but also making some destruction necessary to allow oneself to intervene.
However, the critical point is not so easy to find, and due to the influence of the Cursed Seal and the Original Body cells on the body, slight changes in emotions may lead to loss of control.
A large number of tests on ordinary people have repeatedly verified this.
Yakushi Kabuto's high degree of mastery of the body and his knowledge and level of medical skills allow him to not only constantly hover at the critical point without losing control to the point of turning into a handful of powder or a pool of mud.
Thus, he became the only successful experimental subject.
Orochimaru seemed to be in a good mood and smiled, "Well then, it's about time for us to leave here."
"Yes." Yakushi Kabuto replied respectfully.
