Chapter 88 - Puppet? No, it's a treasure trove of points

Mito has already taken action, so Uchiha Kyosuke certainly can't just watch her being bullied.

"Come to think of it, I haven't fought a human puppet yet."

He drew the Kusanagi sword from his waist, thunder spread over it, and he flashed in front of the enemy, splitting the green ball of light head-on.

"Still the same as always, all you can do is fire chakra projectiles?"

Whether it's a puppeteer or the little toys they made, when they fight, they can only launch those chakra spheres in addition to physical skills.

It seems that the teachings of the Fūma clan have not been effective yet.

The body turned into several afterimages, using the Shunshin no Jutsu to confuse the enemy's target.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Uchiha Kyosuke quickly moved forward and stabbed the Moon Ōtsutsuki member who was the puppeteer with a sword.

"Don't even think about it!" The enemy showed disdain on his face, and with a thought, the puppet next to him rushed out and blocked the attack with his body.

The sharp blade pierced its heart, and the attack that should have been fatal was unable to stop it.

At this moment, Uchiha Kyosuke finally understood the trickiness of this thing.

"No wonder he dared to make such outrageous statements. It seems Hamura Ōtsutsuki still has some assets left."

There are no fatal vital parts, and the control can be completed with the mind without manual operation.

Compared with the puppet corps of the Sand Village in later generations, they were far ahead in technology.

"Alas." Uchiha Kyosuke sighed inexplicably, knowing in his heart that this turmoil would not end so easily.

Seeing that the enemy was holding the blade tightly, not giving him the chance to draw his sword and leave, Uchiha Kyosuke had no choice but to temporarily give up his weapon.

Just as he dodged away, the next second, six or seven basketball-sized light bullets completely submerged the puppet that was stabbed by the sword.

"Besides being able to withstand blows, it can also be used as a bait and switch."

While his mind was full of thoughts, Uchiha Kyosuke's hands were also busy. He had completed the hand seals before the next wave of light balls arrived.

He used Hiraishin no Jutsu to flash back to Kusanagi Sword's side, avoiding the dense attack of light balls. He then directly engulfed the two puppets in the distance with a breath of flame.

Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu!

The scorching heat instantly shattered the puppets' bodies. After suffering such severe damage, they could no longer exist.

"Huh~ I didn't expect it to be so unexpectedly tricky."

Just as he was about to continue his action, a sudden promotion almost made him lose control of his expression.

[System prompt: Kill the Moon Shadow Puppet and gain 230 points.]

[System prompt: Kill the Moon Shadow Puppet and gain 180 points.]

"This thing can also award points?" Uchiha Kyosuke widened his eyes, his entire mental state suddenly changing.

Points: 67510.

Glancing at the current points, he was silently calculating something in his mind.

"Let's do it!" As if he had made up his mind, Uchiha Kyosuke suddenly burst out with all his strength and quickly got rid of the last puppet.

He captured the enemy puppeteer alive and used the Sharingan to spy on his recent memories. Then he broke the man's neck and threw him into a pond not far away.

"I heard Black Zetsu talking about how many puppets the Moon Ōtsutsuki has before."

"It seems to be three thousand..."

Returning to the carriage in a daze, Uchiha Kyosuke packed his things woodenly, thinking that the past year had been wasted.

What kind of a bounty hunter is this? If he had discovered the situation in the Land of Rain earlier, his points might have reached the standard to exchange for a Mangekyō Sharingan.

It was a mistake, a serious mistake.

Of course, Uchiha Kyosuke probably didn't consider that if he had come a year earlier, the number of human puppets might not be enough for him to squander.

Come to think of it, perhaps we should also thank Black Zetsu and the Fūma clan for their help.

He was sharpening his knife, ready to make a big move in the Land of Rain. Mito, who was unaware of the situation, thought he was in trouble.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Don't look so stern." The girl with the bun head rarely gave in.

Huh? Uchiha Kyosuke blinked, finally returning his attention to reality.

She seemed to have misunderstood something... With a slight roll of his eyes, Uchiha Kyosuke suddenly said in a deep voice: "That's good to know. By the way, let me ask you, are the Uzumaki Clan's sensor abilities generally excellent?"

"Of course." Upon hearing this, Mito's tail instantly rose high: "Let me tell you this, except for Hyūga, no one can compare with us in terms of perception."

"Even the Senju can't do that?"

"Well, the probability of them having a sensor shinobi is lower than ours."

She explained weakly, then she put her hands on her waist and hummed proudly, "Do you want to ask me for help? No problem, I guarantee that you will not be surrounded by the enemy."

"It seems that your perception is very good."

After giving her a small compliment, Uchiha Kyosuke straightened his expression and said frankly, "But you seem to have misunderstood. I didn't ask you to help hide."

"I will take the initiative and destroy the enemy's strength at its source."

ha?

Mito was dumbfounded.

...

Deep in the Land of Rain, a temporary base built by the Moon Ōtsutsuki.

"Ugh!" Covering his twitching eyes, Ōtsutsuki Shanren's expression was filled with pain.

In order to conquer the ninja world and avenge his child, he did not hesitate to actively seek to join the rebel army.

One can imagine how powerful the rebels are, as they were able to launch a rebellion against the clan's thousands of years of rule.

If it weren't for those incomplete Rinne‑Sharingan, Ōtsutsuki Shanren would have lost his leadership position long ago.

During the battle on the moon, the Hyūga clan left behind several corpses. He wanted to take the opportunity to remove the Byakugan, but he didn't expect that an unknown force would burn the spoils completely.

Outsiders may not know this, but Ōtsutsuki Shanren himself knows very well that these eyes will not last much longer.

If the depleted pupil power cannot be replenished, the Rinne‑Sharingan will never be able to evolve.

Now even my vision is a little blurry.

"I have to find a way."

Ōtsutsuki Shanren's idea was very simple. By seizing the bloodline of the Hyūga clan and obtaining the pure Byakugan, he could bring his Rinnegan back to life.

Once he truly masters this power, no one in the entire ninja world will be his match.

"Hahahaha, I am the real savior."

"Only by destroying the ninja world created by the Sage of Six Paths can we give humanity hope for a new life."

The pain of losing his son had already driven the man who once did not want to start a war into madness.

Boom boom boom!

There was a rapid knock on the door, waking up Ōtsutsuki Shanren who was lost in his reverie.

Resisting the discomfort in his eyes, he shouted towards the door: "Get out! Didn't I tell you not to bother me?"

"But, but Chief, we have..."

"roll!!!"

Seeing that the patriarch was completely furious, the messenger outside the door fled in fear.

As for what he originally wanted to report, it didn't seem that important compared to his own life.

"It's better not to disturb the clan leader for a while."

Somewhere in the Land of Rain.

"Uchiha Kyosuke, seven o'clock."

"receive."

Following Mito's guidance, he continued to search for traces of the human puppet corps.

Try to avoid large groups of troops, and if you encounter a small group, go up and eat it up.

For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the days when he was awarded the title of Oni.
