Chapter 512 Doubts
Although the old saying goes, don't hit a smiling person.
But Orochimaru's face made Kaito disgusted when he smiled, and he immediately ordered Mei and Zabuza to test each other's weight.
The two of them had already reached the point of superstition about the strength of Kaito, their old teammate. With such a strong thigh behind them, they were not afraid of Orochimaru, who had once brought them great pressure.
Zabuza was the first to rush out quickly.
Fortunately, he knew that there was still a gap between his strength and that of Orochimaru, the famous Sannin.
While rushing forward quickly, Zabuza decisively entered the "State 2" mode of the Tailed Beast Coat.
A huge amount of purple-black chakra quickly surged and condensed in the coat, and Zabuza's exposed single eye was instantly stained with a stream of purple-black, and the expression under the bandage became fierce and ferocious.
"Roar~"
With a wild roar.
Zabuza instantly shot out dozens of chakra tentacles that seemed to be real, and quickly slapped Orochimaru.
Although Mei was slightly startled by her teammate's decisive outburst, she was also not vague at all.
She quickly formed seals with both hands and prepared to release ninjutsu, giving priority to dealing with the "red-haired follower" next to Orochimaru.
Well, it's not surprising that Mei had a misunderstanding.
She herself was not very old, and her intelligence and understanding of the ninja world were naturally incomparable to those old-fashioned jonin.
Coincidentally, Sasori was also very young.
Although there was also a nickname "Sasori of the Red Sand" spread in the world, this reputation was more circulated within the Sunagakure Village, which was a praise for this genius puppeteer, and there were not many actual combat records.
And his most eye-catching record was that he killed the Third Kazekage, who was known as the "strongest Kazekage", when he defected, and this was also done in secret.
Only a few people in the Sunagakure Village had doubts, and outsiders had no way of knowing. It was normal that he was not well-known.
So even though Sasori was wearing the same black-bottomed purple-eyed robe as Orochimaru, Terumi Mei still did not regard him as a master of the same level as Orochimaru.
However, what was even more surprising was that, 'Sasori, this guy... seems a little weak, right??'
That's right.
Let's not talk about the battle between Zabuza and Orochimaru, where the violent tentacles fought against the cold little snake.
The battle between Terumi Mei and Sasori was not beyond Terumi Mei's expectations.
At this moment, Sasori's strength was obviously far inferior to Orochimaru.
However, this situation was completely beyond Kaito's previous expectations.
'What is this? The Red Secret Technique: Performance of Ten Puppets? '
Kaito looked at the ten red-robed puppets that followed Sasori's flexible fingers and continuously besieged Terumi Mei, and a big question mark popped up in his head.
If Sasori had not yet developed his secret technique of "Regeneration Core" and completely transformed himself into a human puppet, and then relied on the "Regeneration Core" to break the limit of the puppeteer, thus breaking the limitation that the puppeteer can only control ten puppets with ten fingers, Kaito could still understand it.
But even when Sasori just left Sunagakure Village, he should have the strength of the Kage level.
Otherwise, even if it was a sneak attack, it would be difficult to kill the Third Kazekage, a Magnet Style Bloodline Limit Ninja who was a natural restraint for the puppeteer.
Moreover, how could a genius ninja like Sasori not improve at all after several years?
His real strength should have already stepped into the Kage stage.
However, the current situation is.
Although the ten red-robed human puppets controlled by Sasori cooperated well with each other and suppressed Terumi Mei who was fighting against him on the scene, Terumi Mei also relied on the two extremely corrosive bloodline limits "Boil Style" and "Lava Style" to barely stabilize the situation.
From time to time, it can even cause certain damage to the puppets released by Sasori.
'These puppets seem to be made a little crudely?'
Kaito looked at them more and more and felt that something was wrong.
Kaito himself did not have a deep research on puppets.
However, judging from the actual combat performance of these puppets, they have exposed many problems.
Not only are their means of attack single, they are basically knife slashing and axe slashing, and occasionally one or two can release chains and flying needles, which are very common means of attack.
Even the materials used to build the puppets are very simple, and they are often broken by the ninjutsu released by Mei.
Judging from the performance alone, Kaito even thinks that the 'gorgeousness' of these puppets is not as good as that of the Sunagakure Boy who appeared in the Chunin Exam.
Now that they can suppress Mei for so long, they rely entirely on Sasori's own superb puppet control technology.
'What's going on? Did they come out too hastily and left all the good stuff at home?'
Looking at the situation in the field, Kaito suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then his expression changed slightly.
Then he stopped letting Mei continue to practice and shouted directly.
"Mei! You retreat first!"
With Kaito's shout, Mei, who was fighting, was still a little confused, but she was very obedient and quickly spit out a burst of acid mist again, and retreated quickly.
At the same time, Orochimaru, who was still fighting with the crazy Zabuza on the other side, also immediately noticed the scene here.
A rather strange smile appeared on his face.
"Did you find out so soon?"
Mei retreated quickly, but Sasori, who had the upper hand, seemed to be a little unwilling to give up.
The ten red-robed puppets quickly bypassed the range covered by the "Boil Style: Skillful Mist Jutsu" and continued to chase Mei.
However, since Kaito had already ordered Mei to retreat, he had already made subsequent preparations.
He suddenly exerted force on his feet, and a large piece of snow instantly exploded into a white snow wave behind him.
At the same time, his figure was as fast as lightning, and suddenly turned into a residual image and disappeared on the spot.
Kaito's rapidly moving figure actually dragged out a series of ring-shaped sonic booms.
However, at such a speed, the flexibility of the figure in the air did not decrease at all.
Then.
"Bang bang bang bang~" a series of explosions merged into one.
In the blink of an eye, the ten puppets that were so aggressive just now were almost all blown up into flying wood chips at the same time.
Then, in the stunned eyes of everyone except Zabuza.
Kaito's figure suddenly turned from moving to still, and stood still steadily.
The screen that had been stuck like a slide show finally returned to normal.
The distorted visual afterimages that were dragged out gradually faded and dissipated.
And the snow that should have been driven by the rapid airflow seemed to have just reacted, and quickly exploded into the air, turning into snowflakes all over the sky, and continued to surge with the cold wind.
Kaito slowly retracted his fist, his eyes cold at this moment, and strode towards Sasori of the Red Sand who had lost all his puppets.
