Everyone: "???"
What's going on?!
A puppet... Susanoo... Susanoo?!
I understand the reasoning.
But.
These words... put together.
Is it really possible?
scorpion:"!!!!!!"
Deidara: "Hey, hey, hey!"
Deidara: "Sasori, what's wrong with you?!"
scorpion:"!!!!!!"
It exploded! It exploded!
Deidara was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.
now.
Looking at the scene on the large screen with its black border.
The scorpion is already taking shape.
A brand new...perfect prototype of a puppet!
Now, it's just the beginning.
But... we can already foresee what the future will look like!
I see... I see!
Scorpion: "Huff...huff..."
Sasori: "Naruto Uzumaki in the black-framed world... he's truly terrifying!"
Sasori: "On behalf of Deidara, on behalf of both of us... we surrender!"
Sasori: "I sincerely surrender! Deidara begs Naruto-kun—no, Lord Naruto—he, Deidara, to sincerely surrender with me!"
Deidara: "??????"
"idiot!"
"A combination of technology and ninjutsu."
"And it also combines with first-rate innovation!"
"The world of puppetry has been completely transformed."
"Do you think your explosive art would pose any difficulty for Naruto with black frames?"
"Or do you think explosions aren't art anymore?"
"All it takes is one Tailed Beast Ball from the giant fox in the black-framed world, and you'll be kneeling!"
"You'll definitely blame me for not making you kneel earlier!"
"Explosion Release?"
"Compared to Yin-Yang Release, it's utterly weak!"
"..."
Deidara was stunned.
However, he still managed to capture the key information.
explode.
Explosion.
That's so lame.
Deidara trembled uncontrollably.
"So...can Naruto with black frames... blow up an entire village in one go?"
"nonsense!"
The next second.
Deidara: "oi~!!!!!!!!!~"
Deidara: "On behalf of that idiot Sasori, I'm surrendering completely with you all!"
Everyone: "..."
Calm down.
No wonder they're called an art duo...
But it's alright.
This artistic duo.
It's still okay.
It's a bit strange.
But it's not surprising that the perspective shifts to that of a ninja.
Unlike those who use art as a pretext...
...
The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:
[Click—]
[The moment the puppet's abdomen closes.]
[far away. ]
Deidara frowned deeply.
Isn't this just like locking yourself inside a puppet?
[Use a puppet as an outer shell.]
This allows for internal manipulation.
[Indeed, it is not countered by swordsmanship.]
[That skeleton boy resurrected through Edo Tensei was indeed unable to immediately counter the puppet technique.]
But... isn't that what Scorpion is like?
Is there anything special about it?
However.
Scorpion, however, emerged directly from the puppet.
[Looking at Kankuro in the distance.]
["Walk!"]
[After a brief moment of surprise.]
Scorpion immediately spoke.
Then, before Deidara could react...
He jumped straight down.
["oi~!"]
[Watching the scorpion's figure.]
Deidara was somewhat bewildered.
But he quickly maneuvered the Clay Bomb Bird and flew over.
[He caught the scorpion as it nearly hit the ground.]
"Why the rush?"
"Have you thought about how to face that old woman?"
"Or are you going to take this opportunity to kill her?"
Scorpion remained silent.
Their gazes were fixed intently on the puppet that was currently enveloping Kankuro.
[A very familiar feeling.]
It feels so unfamiliar.
Because the outer shell is not made of wood.
There appears to be another layer of metal reinforcement inside.
The price is... very high!
Asuma's high bounty is partly due to the special material of his chakra blade, which commands an extremely high price.
[at the same time. ]
Chiyo, who was fighting Hanzo, was also taken aback.
She also sensed that something was wrong.
In contrast, Kimimaro, who was not particularly familiar with puppetry, frowned deeply.
"A puppet... Susanoo?"
"What kind of puppet is this?"
"It seems like nothing is different."
"To put it bluntly... it's about controlling it from within the puppet, so it's not countered by swordsmanship."
"But if it's just like that... it definitely couldn't be Orochimaru-sama's masterpiece."
[Upon hearing this.]
[Inside the puppet.]
[Kankuro's mouth quirks. ]
["hehe."]
"You'll find out soon enough."
"This puppet... has completely changed my understanding of puppets."
"Did you think that this would prevent the puppet from being equipped with ninja tools and hidden weapons, thus reducing its combat effectiveness?"
"Is the advantage merely a matter of restraining swordsmanship and preventing the chakra threads from being severed?"
Kimimaro slowly straightened up.
[Click click click—]
Then, he raised his hand, and his spine emerged.
["have no idea."]
"But you'll know once you try."
With that, he flung the bone spur from his hand at them.
[clang--]
A muffled thud.
This time.
Kimimaro's bone spurs failed to leave any mark on the puppet.
[Hahaha~]
Kankuro's laughter emanated from inside the puppet.
At this moment, Kankuro was constantly adjusting his posture.
[Within this puppet, controlled by chakra threads, lies a pre-designed control panel.]
"This is no ordinary puppet."
"You could call it a combination puppet."
"High defensive capabilities are just one of its many advantages."
"Technology, ninjutsu, and puppeteers skilled in puppetry!"
"The three elements combined."
"Only then can this combined puppet truly unleash its full potential!"
["certainly."]
"Even without puppetry skills, one can still manipulate them, but there are many details that only puppetry skills can achieve."
["..."
Kankuro was very excited.
[A lot was said.]
Even Chiyo and Hanzo, who were fighting in the distance, stopped what they were doing.
[Scorpion even rode Deidara's clay bird into the sky.]
[As it listened to Kankuro's story, a light shone in its eyes.]
Of course, it's not true.
At this moment, Scorpion could easily be mistaken for a true android.
"Technology...a combination of ninjutsu."
This aligns perfectly with the original intention behind creating one's own body.
[only. ]
Which one is better?
Scorpion didn't know, but he had a premonition that he would lose, and lose badly.
No wonder!
Because the technology used in his puppet body wasn't particularly advanced.
[That's what Kankuro said.]
[The new leader, Naruto Uzumaki, the ruler of the Land of Whirlpools, actually knows about puppets?]
In terms of technology, Orochimaru is indeed an expert in this area.
Scorpion raised an eyebrow slightly.
His gaze then fell upon the puppet wrapped around Kankuro.
Those strangely shaped puppets.
[It doesn't seem like they could be combined at all.]
Little did they know, Orochimaru would also help them.
[It's all because Kankuro has a nice older sister.]
[I can help whisper sweet nothings in Naruto's ear later...]
