Sasori numbly took out a scroll and summoned the Third Kazekage and the Fourth Kazekage.
There was no expression on his face at all, allowing Ryou to order him around as if he were a puppet.
But his enemies acted as if they were facing a formidable foe.
Minato could easily deal with Sasori because he possessed the space-time Ninjutsu, Flying Thunder God.
The Uchiha Clan, however, did not have the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The fact that the Sharingan could cast Genjutsu without hand seals just by looking was something many Shinobi feared, but it was useless against Sasori's Human Puppets.
Sasori was the Shinobi who most effectively countered Genjutsu.
Even now, possessing the flesh-and-blood body of the Red Tail Scorpion, it was the same.
Sasori's core was within the regeneration core; unless the Uchiha Clan's Genjutsu could invade Sasori's regeneration core, it was impossible to defeat him.
Just as Sasori and the Uchiha Clan were in a standoff, a huge turning point suddenly occurred on Konoha's side—
The attacks from the Konoha Shinobi and the giant toads of Mount Myōboku were all seen through by Satori.
In the movie version, even when experts like Sage Mode Naruto, Killer Bee, Tsunade, Kakashi, Yamato, and Guy swarmed him, they couldn't even touch a hair on Satori's body.
Satori's malice perception and absolute evasion abilities were truly too overpowered.
This mind-reading counter-ability could no longer be considered a mere ability, but rather—a supernatural power.
The Six Supernatural Powers of Buddhism!
Currently, those known to possess what can be considered supernatural powers are the White Snake Sage, the Great Toad Sage, and now Satori.
The White Snake Sage is connected to the earth; as long as something happens on the ground, it will reach its ears.
Breaking through the limits of hearing, it can hear all sounds in the ten directions of the world—humans, devas, ghosts, animals, mosquitoes, etc.—without hindrance regardless of distance.
Hearing the cries of suffering from sentient beings and their calls for the Dharma, it saves them upon hearing their voices.
This is the Heavenly Ear Power.
The Great Toad Sage can dream and foresee a glimpse of the future; this is the ability to see the end of a sentient being's current life and where they will be reborn in the next.
Whether they are born in heaven, as a human, as an animal, or fall into hell, etc.
This is the Heavenly Visual prowess.
Satori directly perceives mental thoughts; without the need for words, he instantly knows what is being pondered, imagined, and thought in the hearts of sentient beings.
This is the Telepathy.
The existence of the Sage of Six Paths can also be considered a supernatural power.
Among the Six Supernatural Powers, there is one called the Power of Extinction of Outflows, which severs all afflictions, forever escapes the reincarnation of the three realms, and attains Nirvana and liberation.
The Sage of Six Paths has become the guardian of the Pure Land, transcending the reincarnation of the three realms and attaining the karmic fruit.
It sounds just like the Power of Extinction of Outflows.
Two more of the Six Supernatural Powers remain.
One is the Power of Divine Foot, which breaks through spatial barriers, allowing for flight, invisibility, passing through walls, creating clones, reaching the ten directions of the world in an instant, and changing one's form or external objects.
The last one is the Power of Past Lives, which allows one to know the cause and effect of the three worlds and recall the past lives of oneself and countless sentient beings for hundreds or thousands of generations.
In the Shinobi World, there is only the concept of chakra reincarnation; the reincarnation of Asura's and Indra's chakra through generations carries a sense of destiny.
The core of the Naruto story is the destined dispute and reconciliation between the two of them.
Satori's ability is the Telepathy, making him a figure who can rival the White Snake Sage and the Great Toad Sage. How are the people of Konoha supposed to win?
Fortunately, Ryou had seen the movie before and knew Satori's weakness early on; otherwise, he really wouldn't have known how to defeat Satori.
Even against Madara and Hashirama, Satori could hold its own for a bit.
It couldn't beat Madara and Hashirama, but if it wanted to run, Madara and Hashirama wouldn't be able to catch it at all.
Satori didn't want to continue playing house with these weak humans; it still held Natsuhi in its claws.
Satori had to carefully protect Natsuhi from harm; if he killed her, Ryou would electrocute him.
Satori was afraid of being electrocuted, so he couldn't let Natsuhi get hurt.
Satori was essentially fighting the Konoha army while carrying a burden; even so, Konoha's experts were helpless against him.
He dove down, charging through Konoha's positions as easily as crossing an empty morning road.
None of Konoha's Ninjutsu attacks could do anything to Satori.
Satori dove down, aiming for the position of Kurenai, Shizune, Yūgao, and the others.
"Damn it, don't you dare take advantage of Kurenai!"
Asuma was furious, imbuing his Flying Swallow with wind-attribute chakra before hurling them out.
The Flying Swallow imbued with wind-attribute chakra had incredible piercing power, shooting toward Satori like a gust of wind.
But it was useless; Asuma's anger was merely a display of powerless rage.
Seeing so many Shinobi' Ninjutsu being dodged by Satori, a deep fear of Satori had already grown in his heart.
This was not an enemy that conventional Shinobi could deal with.
"Don't come over here!"
The most terrified among them were Kurenai, Shizune, Yūgao, and the others who were Satori's targets.
Shizune was so scared she curled up like a turtle, while Yūgao drew her Shinobi sword and performed the Dance of the Crescent Moon along with Hayate.
Kurenai also tremblingly cast a Genjutsu—Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!
This was a low-level Genjutsu, but its mechanism was to make a person's fears manifest.
The victim would see the images they feared most.
In the original story, Kakashi used this move on Sakura, making her see Sasuke's miserable state, which caused her to faint from shock.
As soon as Kurenai's Genjutsu was cast, it was immediately reflected by Satori.
Satori was not skilled in Genjutsu, but any Genjutsu that could affect him would have to be a high-level one; his own Tailed Beast-level stats also gave him the ability to reflect Genjutsu.
Kurenai instantly saw her most terrifying vision, which was inside Ryou's interrogation room back at the Akatsuki base.
Ryou was harassing her.
Back then, Ryou had remembered Yuhi Shinku's kindness and hadn't done anything too excessive to Kurenai, but they were alone together, and the man opposite her was a beast who valued lust above all else.
Kurenai was always afraid that Ryou would suddenly lash out and violate her; that had always been her psychological trauma.
Satori reflecting this Genjutsu forced Kurenai to face her inner fear directly.
Satori flew down, his claws swinging out, ignoring Yūgao and Hayate's Dance of the Crescent Moon.
Just the wind from his claws blew Hayate away, and then he grabbed Yūgao, Kurenai, and Shizune, carrying them into the air.
"Hayate—"
Yūgao struggled in panic, reaching out her hand to Hayate for help.
"Yūgao... cough cough..."
But Hayate's body was simply too weak; after being knocked down by the blast of wind, he began to cough.
How could such a body hold onto Yūgao?
"Kurenai—"
At this moment, Asuma overcame his inner fear, forming hand seals to release the Wind Dust Technique to attack Satori.
But it was useless; Satori didn't even need to read Asuma's mind, relying on his powerful demonic body to block Asuma's wind dust.
A crushing defeat!
Before Satori, Konoha's Akimichi Clan, Aburame Clan, Inuzuka Clan... even the top Summoned Beasts of Mount Myōboku couldn't scratch him in the slightest.
This was the Satori that had once destroyed several nations!
At the critical moment, Guy made his move.
Eight Gates, First Gate: The Gate of Opening, Open!
Second Gate: The Gate of Healing, Open!
Third Gate: The Gate of Life, Open!
The Gate of Opening releases the brain's limits, allowing full physical potential.
The Gate of Healing accelerates the circulation of chakra within the body to replenish stamina.
The Gate of Life significantly strengthens physical explosive power.
At this moment, having opened three gates in one breath, Guy's skin turned red from blood congestion, and air pressure appeared around him as if he had entered a berserk state.
And it wasn't over yet—
Fourth Gate: The Gate of Pain, Open!
