To be honest, Hatake Satoru's carefree style of just letting out his puppets and then completely ignoring them really made Sasori The Red Sand a little anxious.
Although puppet masters do control puppets with eye movements to attack, he was being chased and beaten by two female puppets, while Hatake Satoru was just watching leisurely from the side.
However one looks at it, it's a bit annoying.
Hatake Satoru was even carrying a burden with no attack power at all. As long as he could attack his main body, taking back the One-Tail Jinchuriki shouldn't be a problem.
But something Sasori was vaguely worried about was, were these two dolls really afraid of sand?
And with this kind of precise construction, could sand really get inside?
Puppets that can move on their own without Chakra threads.
Like Sasori's main body, are they considered people or puppets?
"Third... Kazekage?".
Hatake Satoru didn't even have time to answer, when a blue old voice rang out from a pile of rubble nearby.
Sasori and Hatake Satoru both looked over when they heard the sound, but neither of their puppets stopped moving.
The Third Kazekage's arms separated, revealing overlapping, poison-coated blades inside, and the other arm began to spin rapidly, forming a circular blade.
Then the Third Kazekage opened his mouth, and a pile of floating, fine black sand gathered inside.
That black sand would stick to metal objects and jam the puppet's mechanisms, so basically no puppet could defeat the Third Kazekage.
The cat-eared girl pulled out a dagger from her side, a cursed tool made by Hatake Satoru.
Because to be honest, Hatake Satoru himself didn't use cursed tools much, and he didn't know how much damage they could do.
To test them, Hatake Satoru decided to give each puppet one.
To let Sasori The Red Sand be an option for the puppets to practice with.
"Anyway, I've made a lot, you can take as many as you want~".
That's what Hatake Satoru said at the time. Basically all the puppets were equipped with cursed tools, but they were of different levels.
The cat-eared girl gripped the dagger in her hand, lowered her body slightly, and her golden vertical pupils watched the Third Kazekage intently.
And the zombie-like puppet silently watched Sasori The Red Sand's main body's movements.
She usually doesn't attack proactively, but defends against Sasori's attacks on Hatake Satoru's main body.
"Oh~ I didn't expect Grandma Chiyo to arrive first.".
Hatake Satoru smiled as he looked at Chiyo, who didn't know how to react to the scene.
Sasori The Red Sand's gaze darkened slightly. Hatake Satoru's puppets were already troublesome enough, and with this old woman here, it would definitely increase the pressure on him.
"Hmph, I didn't expect the old woman to be so fast.".
Chiyo's gaze fell on the Third Kazekage in shock. Sasori was the only puppet master who could create human puppets.
Just seeing the puppet open its mouth and use sand, it must have been made into a human puppet by Sasori using his own body.
And Sasori's youthful face, that of a teenager of only ten something, was really shocking to Chiyo.
"After all these years, how can you still have this face...".
Although Chiyo had also modified parts of her body into puppets, Sasori's direct method of freezing his face in time was really shocking to Chiyo.
She couldn't help but mutter softly as she looked at Sasori.
Just how advanced was Sasori's technology now, that he could even fix his face in place?
He must have even adjusted things like his own brain.
Although the scene of this duel in the mountain cave was quite shocking to Chiyo, she still knew how to assess the situation.
The whole scene in the cave gave off a strange feeling.
Hatake Satoru, sitting on the side looking like nothing was wrong, was with their Kazekage.
Sasori The Red Sand could even look at her while controlling the Third Kazekage to attack.
And on Hatake Satoru's side, there were actually two strange women with different styles fighting back and forth with the Third Kazekage.
"There are really more and more troublesome people.".
Sasori The Red Sand wasn't in the mood to answer Chiyo. These two female puppets were really pushing close.
The Third Kazekage couldn't move on his own, so Sasori The Red Sand could only darkly shift his gaze back.
He focused on controlling the Third Kazekage with the Chakra threads connected to his fingers.
"If you talk any more, the two of you will die, Sand Iron Rain.".
He had to quickly make these two puppets unable to move.
The rustling sound of sand rang out, and the Third Kazekage's wave-like black sand instantly gathered together, like a black sea of sand....
Then the sand scattered and gathered again, like fine needles raining down on Chiyo and Hatake Satoru.
"Boom!!".
The poisonous black sand needles landed on the ground, and the ground trembled from the impact, with occasional falling stones.
This level of attack wouldn't hurt Chiyo for now, but when she dodged the sand rain and looked at Hatake Satoru.
Hatake Satoru was still sitting in the same spot, not even moving an inch.
The dense iron sand rain only landed in front of him, and two women steadily stood in front of Hatake Satoru, blocking all the attacks.
The flying dust made Hatake Satoru wrinkle his brows in disgust. He slowly picked up Gaara with one hand, and walked towards Chiyo.
"Since you're here, whee, Gaara is yours~".
"Although it's no problem to carry him, it's a bit of a hassle when he doesn't move.".
Hatake Satoru set Gaara down next to Chiyo, like asking the old woman to watch his bag.
It seemed that Hatake Satoru and the two girls in front could probably handle Sasori.
Chiyo didn't know much about Hatake Satoru's strength, but this person being Gaara's teacher, he must have a few tricks up his sleeve.
More than his own abilities, Chiyo was more curious about where those two suddenly appearing girls came from.
Although she could only see their backs, judging by their figures, the two of them were at most twenty years old.
"What's with those two girls? I don't remember you having women with that kind of strength around you.".
Although she couldn't feel any Chakra, the two girls were very skilled.
They didn't avoid the attacks at all, but directly faced and blocked all the iron sand to protect Hatake Satoru standing behind them. Not just anyone can do that.
"Girls? Those two aren't people, just dolls I made.".
"I can make as many as you want~".
Hatake Satoru turned to look at the two puppets blocking the sand rain. Although the precision of his work was high enough, having too much sand would still affect their agility.
As the smoke cleared, the two puppets could still move, but they were much stiffer.
