Under Uchiha Ling's efforts to cripple enemies and the other Jonin's harvesting, only the Hidden Sand Village Anbu Puppet Master Jonin was still barely holding on.
However, he was already in a precarious situation; three of his five puppets had been destroyed, and the remaining two were on the verge of collapse under the onslaught of the Uchiha Jonin.
Uchiha Clan Jonin were a rare type of Ninja without weaknesses; the Sharingan granted Uchiha Jonin average Taijutsu and Genjutsu skills for a Jonin.
Coupled with some Ninjutsu training, they were practically in the first echelon of Jonin. In combat, the Sharingan also provided a huge boost, so to defeat an Uchiha Jonin, one could only rely on sheer power suppression or a group ambush.
However, when several Uchiha Jonin ganged up on one Jonin, they usually wouldn't last five minutes before being taken down.
But this Hidden Sand Village Puppet Master was still very capable; his two remaining puppets seemed to be made from many rare materials.
Several Fire Release attacks hit them without destroying them, and the puppets occasionally shot poison needles from unexpected parts, which also tied the Uchiha Jonin's hands.
Uchiha Ling couldn't stand it anymore. The Third Hokage's side had already finished their battle. All the Hidden Cloud Village Anbu were annihilated; most died, except for a small number who were captured directly and not killed.
Uchiha Ling looked at this Hidden Sand Village Anbu Jonin. She was curious how tough this puppet was. Uchiha Ling rubbed her wrists with a smile.
The next moment, Uchiha Ling's Super Strength Fist erupted under her feet, directly shattering the ground within a five to six-meter radius like a spiderweb. Then, everyone only felt a strong gust of wind blow by, and Uchiha Ling vanished from her original spot.
"Bang~!" A humanoid puppet, which was just under the Hidden Sand Village Anbu Jonin's control, directly exploded.
It was as if explosives hidden inside the puppet had detonated, shattering it into countless parts that scattered wildly in all directions.
In the Hidden Sand Village Anbu Jonin's astonished gaze, the surrounding movements seemed to slow down: flying parts, broken Chakra threads, and the sudden appearance of a small, short girl.
"Is it her? Did she destroy Iron Wall Zero? How is that possible? That was made with chakra metal!"
With just one punch, Uchiha Ling blew up this incredibly strong puppet that could withstand continuous Ninjutsu attacks from a Jonin, not only startling the Hidden Sand Village Anbu Jonin but also shocking the Uchiha Jonin.
Uchiha Ling, who appeared suddenly, had a speed that reached the limit of their Revolving Sharingan with three tomoe's perception. Even when the Sharingan slowed it down, they could only see an afterimage.
The Hidden Sand Village Anbu Jonin gritted his teeth, like a figurine enthusiast whose most cherished collection was smashed by a brat, wishing he could drink Uchiha Ling's blood.
Uchiha Ling didn't expect this puppet to require her full strength to break it. Although she didn't use Super Strength Fist, it was still astonishing enough.
While the Uchiha Jonin engaged the Hidden Sand Village Anbu Jonin again, Uchiha Ling hurriedly began collecting the scattered chakra metal parts after the puppet exploded.
chakra metal was extremely expensive. Although these parts only contained a small amount of chakra metal, a considerable amount could still be refined from them.
Because too many parts of this puppet were made of chakra metal alloy, Uchiha Ling somewhat regretted hitting it too hard, causing the parts to scatter everywhere.
It took Uchiha Ling a good while to collect all these Chakra alloy parts, which probably weighed over a hundred catties. After refining, there should be about one or two catties of chakra metal.
Don't think that's a small amount; one or two catties of chakra metal could sell for about fifty million Ryo, which couldn't even buy Asuma's head.
Feeling completely detached from the battlefield, Uchiha Ling put all these Chakra alloys into a sealing scroll. Accumulating soil makes a mountain; although Uchiha Ling was already very rich, she couldn't waste anything.
Then, she looked at the besieged Hidden Sand Village Anbu Jonin. At this point, with one powerful puppet gone, he found it increasingly difficult to cope, and could only watch with fiery eyes as Uchiha Ling pocketed the puppet he had spent a fortune on to create with chakra metal.
By this time, his body was bleeding, and his Chakra was nearly depleted. If it weren't for that oddly shaped puppet that could withstand some Ninjutsu damage, he would probably have kicked the bucket already.
Uchiha Ling then set her sights on the Hidden Sand Village Anbu's last puppet, which was surprisingly a flying puppet, a rare sight, though a Puppet Master couldn't make it work.
Uchiha Ling saw the puppet's powerful Ninjutsu resistance and Chakra absorption and conduction efficiency and knew that the chakra metal content in this puppet was not low at all.
To avoid unnecessary waste, Uchiha Ling decided to take in this puppet, which was about to become parts, melt it down and reforge it, ultimately helping herself save the Ninja World.
The Hidden Sand Village Anbu Jonin also noticed Uchiha Ling's unwavering gaze fixed on his last puppet.
His heart was filled with terror, wanting to shout, "Don't come over here!" Unfortunately, how could Uchiha Ling care about other people's gazes?
She went her own way and put her own mark on this puppet. Now it was time to reclaim what was hers.
The Third Hokage had already cleaned up his side of the battlefield. Seeing that Uchiha Ling's side was almost finished, he looked towards the Iwagakure Anbu that the Hyuga Clan had been attacking for a long time without victory.
He decided to go help the Hyuga Clan first, otherwise, if any escaped or caused casualties among Konoha Ninja, it would be bad.
Uchiha Ling put on her expensive shock-absorbing gloves. She felt that this puppet's defense should be stronger; it should be the Hidden Sand Village Anbu Jonin's latest creation.
In the Hidden Sand Village Anbu Jonin's despairing eyes, Uchiha Ling once again shattered the ground and vanished from his sight, but the next moment, a sinister smile appeared on his lips.
Although he knew his puppet was destined to shatter, he was also prepared to die with this abnormal, super-strong little girl who had broken his puppet.
Uchiha Ling's figure appeared above the strange flying puppet, and she unleashed her long-charged Super Strength Fist.
A visible vacuum bubble appeared above her fist, rapidly forming a vacuum column that directly struck the puppet from a distance.
Tiny cracks appeared on the puppet, but they quickly began to break as it reached its limit, shattering inch by inch from the back.
At this moment, a ghastly green poisonous mist shot out from the cracks in the puppet's back, heading straight for Uchiha Ling's face. There was no doubt it was highly toxic.
If it were an ordinary Jonin, they might not have enough time to form hand seals and would be hit, then miserably poisoned to death. But Uchiha Ling was different; she was someone who could generate vacuum waves with her bare hands.
Uchiha Ling watched the incoming poisonous mist indifferently, then suddenly spread her arms wide and quickly clapped her hands together.
A fierce gust of wind, generated by the clap, swept vertically towards the rapidly approaching poisonous mist.
The poisonous mist was directly blown back by the wind from her clap, heading towards the Hidden Sand Village Anbu Jonin, whose smile had not yet faded from his face.
The wind generated by Uchiha Ling's clap was enough to rival a C-rank Wind Release, which the Hidden Sand Village Anbu Jonin had never expected, even if it killed him.
