Sasori stood behind the Third Kazekage puppet, his cold eyes sweeping over the cave, which was ravaged by flames but still incredibly hot.
His meticulously set up magnetic trap was broken by the opponent in the most brutal and restrained way.
This gave him a long-lost feeling of...irritation.
"It seems... I really underestimated you."
Sasori's voice remained cold, but a hint of serious killing intent crept into his indifference: "You are the second ninja to have driven me to this point."
Naruto stood at the other end of the fire, his chakra surrounding him dispelling the scorching heat.
He was slightly out of breath; the extinguishing of the powerful fire had taken a huge toll.
But his gaze remained sharp as a knife, fixed intently on Scorpion: "Enough with the nonsense! Show me what other 'art' you have!"
"as you wish."
Scorpion slowly raised his hands, his pale fingers dancing gracefully and swiftly in the air as if playing invisible strings.
A massive and chilling chakra erupted from his body in an instant!
"Let me show you... true timeless art!"
Splash! ...
It was accompanied by a series of chilling, dense sounds, like countless gears and machines operating simultaneously.
The space behind the scorpion seemed to be torn apart!
A huge scroll covered in sealing runes appeared out of thin air and unfurled instantly!
Then, it was like opening Pandora's box!
Countless dark shadows surged out of the huge scroll like a tidal wave!
They come in various shapes and sizes.
Some wielded sharp blades, some carried bows and crossbows, some were as large as fortresses, and some were as small as insects!
The only thing they have in common is that they are all cold, murderous puppets!
One, ten, fifty, one hundred...
In the blink of an eye, countless puppets, like locusts, swept across the cave, occupying almost all the space inside!
They float in the air, cling to the rock walls, and even block the passage!
Each puppet's joints emitted a soft clicking sound, and their cold eyes locked onto Naruto in the center of the arena!
Scorpion's most prized ultimate puppetry technique! One man can command an army!
The remaining flames inside the cave appeared so faint against the backdrop of the overwhelming tide of puppets.
Flames leaped across the countless cold, icy shells of the puppets, reflecting a despairing, metallic gleam.
The air was thick with the smells of engine oil, metal, and lingering burnt odor, creating a nauseating, deathly atmosphere.
The cave is no longer a battlefield, but a true hell made up of cold puppets!
"Feel... the eternal art!" Scorpion's finger suddenly swung downwards!
Om-! ! !
Hundreds of puppets, like killing machines that had received their final orders, started up instantly!
Clashing blades, flashing swords, poisoned crossbow bolts, spinning chainsaws, spewing acid, heavy giant hammers...
Countless deadly attacks, like a destructive torrent.
From all directions, above and below, with a piercing shriek that seemed to tear everything apart, rained down on Naruto Uzumaki, who was all alone!
Chapter 272 Having grown up so much, is there anyone who dares to compete with me in numbers?
The overwhelming number of cold puppets, like an army of undead crawling out of the abyss of hell, filled every corner of the cave.
The gleam of blades, the whistling of crossbow bolts, and the clicking of mechanisms mingled with the smell of engine oil and metal.
It constitutes a suffocating symphony of death.
Sasori of the Red Sand's ultimate art, a terrifying force that can be formed by one person!
Faced with this puppet frenzy that could drive any ninja to despair.
Naruto merely narrowed his azure eyes, which burned with icy fury.
Instead of fear, his face revealed a... almost contemptuous sneer?
"Compete with me... in numbers?"
Before he could finish speaking, a massive, heart-stopping torrent of chakra suddenly erupted from Naruto's body!
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!!!"
Bang bang bang bang bang bang-! ! !
Like a powder keg that has been set off in a chain reaction!
The deafening explosions of white smoke continued incessantly!
One, ten, a hundred, a thousand...
Countless Narutos dressed in orange training uniforms appeared out of thin air like a golden tsunami!
It instantly filled all the remaining space in the cave!
Their sheer number and their magnificent scale are astounding.
Surprisingly, they managed to subtly suppress Scorpion's army of hundreds of puppets!
A golden torrent formed by shadow clones, mingling with a frenzy of cold black puppets.
Like two world-destroying floods, they collided violently within the narrow cave!
"Brothers! Charge—!!!"
A Naruto clone at the very front raised his arm and shouted, his voice filled with a fighting spirit to the death!
"oh--!!!"
Thousands of voices responded simultaneously, creating a deafening roar!
The next moment, a golden torrent flowed!
There were no complicated tactics, no exquisite teamwork, only the most primitive and ferocious attacks!
Thousands upon thousands of Naruto shadow clones, like fearless golden berserkers.
With unstoppable momentum, it crashed fiercely into the puppet formation!
Boom! Bang! Crack! Clang!
The sounds of intense collisions, tearing metal, and shattering puppets filled the air in an instant!
His clenched fist slammed hard against the puppet's hard shell.
It leaves deep dents or even blows it up!
The poisoned blade struck the shadow clone, only to produce a puff of white smoke and the clone vanish!
A deadly crossbow bolt pierced through a shadow clone, and immediately three new clones burst out of the smoke, rushing towards the puppet that fired the bolt!
This is a brutal strangulation war that is purely a matter of numbers, strength, and willpower!
For the first time, a violent fluctuation appeared in the scorpion's eyes, where the cold confidence that controlled everything had been present!
His pale fingers danced rapidly in the air.
Like a master conductor, he manipulates each puppet to perform precise parries, counterattacks, encirclements, and cuts!
His puppetry skills were truly unparalleled.
Each puppet is like an extension of his limbs, moving swiftly, coordinating perfectly, and unleashing a series of deadly moves!
Golden shadow clones were continuously torn apart by sharp blades, pierced by poisoned arrows, and smashed by heavy hammers, turning into white smoke and dissipating.
However, what made Scorpion's scalp tingle was—
No matter how many shadow clones he destroyed, the golden torrent did not diminish.
Instead, it seemed endless, surging in continuously from behind!
Before the white smoke had even dissipated, a new clone had already filled the void!
Naruto's massive and terrifying amount of chakra has now become the most despair-inducing weapon!
"Damn it! This brat's chakra... is it infinite?!"
Scorpion cursed inwardly.
His puppets were exquisite, but they were destroyed every time.
Each of these requires him to expend his precious chakra threads and mental energy to control the new substitutes.
As for Naruto... he seems completely unconcerned about the consumption of chakra!
In contrast, Scorpion's army of hundreds of machines was relentlessly attacked by the golden torrent.
Like flesh and blood being thrown into a meat grinder, they are decreasing at a visible rate!
The sharp blade was bent, the sturdy outer shell was torn apart, and the intricate joints were snapped by brute force!
The remains of the puppets quickly piled up on the ground like a small mountain.
Broken parts, severed chakra threads, and flowing venom mixed together, emitting a pungent odor.
"Impossible! My eternal art... how could this be..."
The control over the scorpion slowed down slightly.
They watched helplessly as their proud 100-machine maneuver melted away like ice and snow in the face of that unreasonable golden human wave tactic!
At the very moment when the Scorpion Heart God trembled violently!
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Three golden figures, like ghosts, broke through the last weak point in the puppet's defenses!
