At Mirai Uchiha's sudden appearance, everyone wore shocked, horrified expressions.
No one had sensed when he arrived. They only realized that, after appearing, he had defeated the previously arrogant ninja with a single strike.
Wait!
Realizing this, everyone turned their gaze back to Sasori.
From a pile of broken parts emerged a red-haired boy.
There was a hole piercing through his shoulder from front to back.
Strangely, no blood flowed from the wound.
Witnessing this, Kisame Hoshigaki remarked in surprise, "So *this* is your real body?"
"I thought you were some ancient master, but instead you're just a cute little boy—such strange tastes are hard to understand…"
Hearing Kisame's words, Sasori coldly replied, "I've merely transformed my body into eternal art that never decays. In truth, I'm older than you."
After explaining briefly, Sasori continued, "Kisame, I'd suggest you turn your focus to Mirai Uchiha."
"This guy shattered my masterpiece in one strike. His power is terrifying."
Upon hearing this, Kisame grinned nonchalantly, "Isn't it already common knowledge that Mirai is strong?"
Seeing Kisame's expression, Sasori gave a light snort before pulling out a scroll and summoning the Third Kazekage Human Puppet.
He clearly understood how formidable the Human Puppet Hiruko was.
Mirai had managed to damage Hiruko so severely in one move—it would definitely require careful handling.
A ninja from Takigakure hesitantly asked, "May we ask if you are the reinforcement sent by Leader Shibuki?"
Mirai Uchiha calmly replied, "Correct."
The Taki ninja exchanged surprised glances, instinctively relaxing slightly.
Finally! Now that reinforcements have arrived, there was actually hope for survival.
Thinking thus, one Taki ninja asked, "Excuse me, besides you, when will the other reinforcements arrive?"
Mirai slightly raised his eyebrows and answered slowly, "There won't be any others. This time, I came alone as support."
"What?!"
All the Taki ninja widened their mouths in shock, momentarily at a loss.
Leader Shibuki went seeking aid, yet only one ninja showed up?
Although this young man's earlier move was certainly impressive, it was still only a surprise attack.
In an actual battle against those two powerful enemies—could he truly win?
Thinking this, a Taki ninja hesitantly asked, "Um… Those two enemy ninja are extremely strong. Can you really handle this alone?"
Faced with the questioning from the Takigakure ninja, Mirai Uchiha remained unfazed. She simply stated coolly, "My power is far beyond yours."
"You just need to obediently watch from behind."
Seeing Mirai's confident expression, the Takigakure ninja had no choice but to believe her and silently stepped aside.
However, Sasori, who always had issues with Konoha ninja, couldn't help but sneer, "Mirai Uchiha, do you really think your power surpasses ours?"
"You say such arrogant things—do you even grasp our true power?"
As the genius puppet master of Sunagakure, Sasori had his own pride.
Although Mirai Uchiha was extremely strong, he didn't feel that he himself was much inferior.
As long as they were human, he was confident he could defeat them.
Didn't the former strongest Third Kazekage end up dying in his hands?
After hearing Sasori's question, Mirai Uchiha rubbed her chin thoughtfully before replying slowly, "When it comes to how big the gap is between us..."
"By conservative estimate, if an ordinary person's battle power is one, then yours should be around a thousand, while mine is approximately..."
Mirai smiled and raised one finger. "Five hundred thirty thousand!"
Hiss!!!
Kisame and Sasori both gaped in shock.
At first, when they heard Mirai describing battle power using numbers, they found it quite novel.
When they heard her describe their battle power as a thousand, the two also thought it was somewhat reasonable.
But upon hearing Mirai describe her own battle power as five hundred thirty thousand, both Sasori and Kisame lost all composure.
Come on...
Even if you truly possess great strength, there's no need to be this arrogant, right?
"Kisame, leave this guy who spouts nonsense and can't face reality to me."
"I'll turn him into a human puppet to show everyone his foolishness."
After saying this, Sasori connected his chakra threads to the Third Kazekage's human puppet. Countless iron sands poured out from the Third Kazekage's mouth, silently floating midair.
[Magnet Release: Death Storm!]
Countless magnetized iron sands gathered into sharp senbon needles, densely rushing toward Mirai Uchiha.
In response, Mirai simply raised her arm. "Shinra Tensei!"
Boom!
The powerful repulsive force instantly deflected all of Sasori's attacks.
"The Rinnegan?"
"You actually possess this eye too?"
Both Sasori and Kisame were startled.
Isn't this legendary Sage's Eye something only their village leader possesses?
Why did this Mirai Uchiha also have the same eye?
Shouldn't the Uchiha Clan's Dojutsu be the Sharingan?!
"Now's not the time for distractions!"
Mirai Uchiha let out a sharp scoff and formed a hand seal.
A terrifying chakra surged forth.
Sensing danger, Sasori immediately controlled the Third Kazekage's Human Puppet, gathering all the iron sand in front of him.
[Magnet Release: Iron Sand Wall!]
Just as the thick iron sand wall formed, Mirai's attack arrived right on time.
[Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang!]
A beam of violet chakra shot through the air.
Everything was sliced apart like with a laser, split in half in an instant.
Not even the thick iron sand wall could offer the slightest resistance.
This single blow cleaved both the Third Kazekage's Human Puppet and Sasori's body clean in two at the waist.
"Gulp..."
A ninja from Takigakure involuntarily swallowed hard.
How powerful!
Where did their leader find such a formidable reinforcement?
Compared to her, the ninja who had ruthlessly slaughtered them seemed as feeble as clay.
With Sasori's body cleaved in one strike, Mirai advanced slowly.
Feigning death with his eyes shut tight, Sasori suddenly opened his mouth, unleashing countless poison-coated senbon at Mirai.
At the same time, flames and hurricane-force winds erupted from Sasori's arms, instantly engulfing Mirai in searing heat.
The sudden turn of events caused everyone to gasp in shock.
No one could possibly survive an attack at such close range.
Damn it!
Did we lose after all?!
