Chapter 71 Move! Wind Shadow! Why aren't you moving!?
Rashomon, a top-tier defensive ninjutsu, uses the summoning technique to draw a gate to the underworld to defend against attacks.
Rashomon has extremely strong defensive capabilities, and depending on the caster's mastery of the technique, multiple Rashomon gates can be summoned at once.
Furthermore, the defensive power increases with the number of Rashomon gates, with the gates located further back being significantly stronger, often many times over.
"Minato and I have only mastered the Second Rashomon.
Even if the two of us use it together, it's still not as powerful as the Third Rashomon... Damn it!
If Orochimaru were here, the Third Rashomon should have been able to stop this thing!"
Jiraiya was quite distressed.
Even though the Konoha ninja army had begun to scatter, he didn't know how far the powerful attack would spread!
Orochimaru's mastery of Rashomon is higher than his, allowing him to unleash a triple Rashomon, which is even more powerful than the combined effect of Orochimaru and Minato.
However, since Orochimaru is not present, there is nothing he can do.
As for the others, although some can use Rashomon, they are only at the first proficiency level.
The effect of a single level is not much stronger than Earth Flow Wall, so it is not very meaningful.
It is better to run faster.
"Gamaken, set up your shield! Minato and I will use Rashomon in front.
Even if we can't block it, it should reduce a lot of its power. In the end, it's up to you!"
"Although I'm clumsy, I will try my best."
Gamaken lowered his waist and assumed a horse stance, setting aside his U-shaped fork and raising his shield with both hands, preparing to defend against the Four-Tailed Beast Ball with all his might.
Jiraiya and Minato both bit their fingers, pressed them to the ground, and activated the summoning jutsu array!
"Double Rashomon!" the two shouted simultaneously.
Four enormous doors with demonic faces rose from the ground with a rumble.
The Gates of the Underworld, Rashomon!
There are four Rashomon gates in front, and finally, the toad-shaped shield provides defense.
"Can we stop them?!" Jiraiya wondered nervously.
...
Inside the cave.
"Brother Sasori, I'm also very busy.
I've already kept you company for a long time. I don't think we need to waste any more time."
"We can skip the Sand Rain or the Iron Sand Block; those kinds of attacks are useless against me.
Let's just use the Iron Sand World Technique, and everyone unleash their strongest techniques.
How about we decide the winner in one fell swoop?"
"Hmph... then so be it," Sasori replied expressionlessly.
In any case, he felt that ordinary methods would not be able to defeat his opponent.
With Mochizuki Souji's skills and speed, it would be difficult to hit him with simple iron sand attacks.
Even if he could occasionally cause some damage, the poison would not have much effect, and small wounds could be healed immediately.
The chakra of the sand clones cannot withstand prolonged consumption, so the suggestion to decide the outcome with the strongest attack is indeed a good one.
The Wind Shadow Puppet continued to release iron sand from its mouth, and at the same time, its body trembled, half of its black robe was shattered, and the cover on its left chest popped open.
The location that should be the heart is now a sophisticated and special mechanism from which Sasori's chakra is transformed into the chakra of the Third Kazekage, constantly flowing out.
The wind chakra fused with the iron sand, instantly producing an extremely large amount of iron sand.
These iron sands spread out like treetops, covering the entire cave ceiling in the blink of an eye.
"Sand Iron Boundary Law!"
With Sasori's cry, the iron sand extended numerous giant spikes, which fell towards Souji!
As the Sand Iron Realm Law began its attack, Souji had already thrown his kunai and formed hand seals.
"I have no way to gain a giant body!"
Under the effect of the Giant Body Technique, the flying kunai instantly grew from the size of a dagger to more than two meters in size, like a two-handed greatsword!
"What?" Sasori's expression changed.
Even a simple kunai piercing can greatly affect the control of the puppet.
If such a large kunai hits the Kazekage Puppet... then it's all over!
Sasori exerted full control, pushing his chakra to its limit to amplify the density and power of the iron sand.
However, when the iron sand spikes met the giant kunai, the solidified iron sand immediately collapsed upon contact, turning into flowing sand that scattered to the ground!
The giant kunai swept through all the iron sand in front of it with overwhelming force, and with a final boom, it pierced through from the front, pinning the Wind Shadow Puppet to the cave wall!
A giant kunai pierced vertically through the center of the Kazekage puppet's body.
The large-scale chakra suppression effect immediately rendered the Kazekage puppet unable to function properly.
It trembled slightly a few times before collapsing helplessly onto the giant kunai.
"Damn it! Kazekage! Move! Kazekage! Why aren't you moving!?"
Sasori frantically tried to control the Wind Shadow Puppet, but to no avail.
The remaining iron sand, no longer under the control of the Kazekage puppet's chakra, melted away, turning into streams of flowing sand that scattered to the ground.
"The battle is over, Brother Sasori," Souji said calmly.
The most numerous attacks come from the front, consisting of iron sand spikes.
The giant kunai breaks through the attack and nullifies any iron sand it touches.
So, as long as the attacks come from other directions, it's not too difficult for Souji.
"As agreed, you are now my subordinate."
"..."
Sasori and Souji stared at each other for a long time before Sasori finally let out a soft breath, his expression softening.
"Since I can't beat you, I have no other choice but to do with you as you see fit."
"You're a man of principle, willing to accept defeat."
"Hmph, I've already said it, the weak submit to the strong, that's the natural order of things, and besides..."
Sasori looked up at the Wind Shadow Puppet, which was pinned high up by a giant kunai, and showed a somewhat sighing expression.
"I've felt an unprecedented artistry in your kunai technique...
If I join your ranks, it might inspire even more inspiration in the future..."
The Souji smiled slightly and said:
"I can't make any guarantees about your artistic inspiration, but my 'film crew' consists of people with both talent and unique characteristics, so they shouldn't disappoint you."
"The Shadow Division?" Sasori asked curiously.
"As I just mentioned, I intend to become the Hokage, right?
The Hokage has a direct subordinate force called the 'Anbu,' but the Anbu alone is too weak.
There are many things they are not capable of doing. Therefore, I want to create the 'Kagebu,' (Shadow Division) which is above the Anbu.
Every member of the Kagebu must have the strength to rival the Five Kage."
"Sasori of the Red Sand, you are the first member of the 'Shadow Club'!"
"The Shadow Club... must every member possess strength comparable to the Five Kage?"
Sasori's eyes widened slightly, and he gasped.
What a huge goal!
Even if you include the Kage and the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts, each of the five great ninja villages has at most three or four Kage-level ninjas, and each of them is the highest-ranking person in the village.
For example, his grandmother Chiyo was the chief advisor in Sunagakure, second only to the Kazekage.
Mochizuki Souji actually wants to create a direct force composed entirely of people of this caliber!?
Since it is called a military unit, it is naturally impossible for it to consist of only two or three people.
A force composed of multiple individuals comparable to the Five Kage... just how terrifying must their strength be!?
