In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 48: Wind Surge
By the time Qingshui, who was knocked unconscious, climbed out of the fat puppet, the little boy had been tied up by the black ant's long arms and could not move. The mechanisms on the back and sides of the salamander had been completely dismantled, and Scorpion himself was captured by the collar of the ox-faced puppet.

“They all performed very well.”

Chiyo controlled the bull-faced puppet to put the scorpion down and exclaimed with a smile.

Chiyo couldn't be more satisfied with Shimizu and Sasori's performance.

When she was in her teens, Chiyo herself might not have been so outstanding.

"Scorpion, you over-trust your own judgment during battles and don't leave yourself a way out. That is, when you make a move, you don't think about what to do next, how the enemy will respond, and how you should counterattack. However, you often hesitate at critical moments, which may cause you to fall into desperate situations in future battles due to carelessness."

Chiyo put away the puppet and began to comment on Shimizu and Sasori.

"You have done a good job in puppet manipulation and the development of puppet functions. What you should do most now is to get to know more people and find more different types of ninjas to compete with and gain more combat experience."

Chiyo found a rock to sit on, and Shimizu and Sasori sat on both sides of Chiyo.

"As for Qingshui, you have much more mission experience than Xie, and you have been on the battlefield before. Although not on the most dangerous front line, your experience is still pretty good. However, there are still some flaws."

"You lack experience in fighting against enemies stronger than you. This may be because you have accumulated a lot of experience over the past year, and your strength has increased faster than your combat awareness. In addition, your combat method is different from that of traditional puppeteers, which brings some flaws."

"You call the fat puppet an armored puppet. This method of wrapping the puppeteer's body with the puppet can indeed enhance the puppeteer's self-protection ability. When the characteristics of multiple puppets match each other, the offensiveness is indeed not bad, provided that the performance of your puppet is good enough. I have confidence in you in this regard, but it is still the same problem as before. If you encounter an enemy with greater strength than you and breaks through your armored puppet, what should you do?"

Chiyo asked, looking into Shimizu's eyes.

"I can only run. Since the enemy can do this, it means that the little boy was either destroyed by him or pinned down by other enemies. Moreover, the enemy can defeat the fat man, which means that his combat capability must be far superior to my original body."

Qingshui thought briefly for a few seconds before answering.

Chiyo nodded in satisfaction.

"The analysis is quite accurate. Although we usually work as a team when carrying out missions, the other teammates will not put the puppeteer's body into a desperate situation. However, once we encounter irresistible danger, the ability to escape and save life is very important."

As Chiyo spoke, she took out two ninjutsu scrolls from her ninja tool bag.

"The contents of these two scrolls are the same. They both record two ninjutsu. One is the mechanical shield seal that I just used. It is a B-level ninjutsu used with puppets. It uses the puppet mechanism as a medium to transform chakra into entities for defense. The strength depends on the puppeteer's personal chakra strength and the quality of the chakra circuit in the mechanism. Even now, this technique is still the most commonly used defensive ninjutsu by me."

"The other ninjutsu is my unique secret weapon, the Wind Speed Jutsu."

Chiyo held out a finger with a small cyclone wrapped around it.

"After the First Ninja World War, I referred to the Lightning Style Chakra Mode of the Hidden Cloud Village and tried to develop a Wind Style Chakra Mode suitable for the Hidden Sand Ninja. In the complete conception, it can be like the Wind Style Vacuum Sword, with the whole body covered with sharp Wind Style Chakra. Not only does it have extremely strong cutting ability, but it can also use the wind style's force unloading to block and divert enemy attacks, and even use the wind style's bonus to make itself extremely fast." At this point, Chiyo sighed.

"But the Lightning Release Chakra Mode is the result of several generations of research by the Raikage before the establishment of the Hidden Cloud Village. My attainments in ninjutsu are decent, but how can they compare to the lifelong research of generations of top figures? Fortunately, I have made some achievements, which are the Wind Release: Wind Speed Technique that you see."

"So what is the effect of this wind speed technique?"

Since Scorpion doesn't talk much, Shimizu takes on the role of the supporting actor.

"Speed. Release the wind chakra through several major acupoints in the body to propel oneself forward and reduce air friction resistance, thereby greatly increasing one's own speed. For a puppeteer, having a fast enough speed will undoubtedly greatly enhance the ability to survive on the battlefield."

Afterwards, Chiyo explained in detail to Shimizu and Sasori how to practice these two ninjutsu.

The mechanism of escape requires that a chakra circuit be made in the corresponding puppet mechanism in advance with materials that have good chakra conductivity. When the puppeteer injects a large amount of chakra into this circuit in a short period of time, the released chakra can be materialized, providing good defense.

The strength of the defense depends on the material, structure and other design of the circuit, as well as the quality of the puppeteer's chakra and the amount of chakra injected.

This is a puppet technique with a very high lower and upper limit of defense.

As for the art of wind disease, it is divided into several stages.

It is easy to get started with minor skills. The first stage is to output wind attribute chakra at several major acupoints in the body as Chiyo said, so as to speed up one's movement speed. The overall difficulty is only slightly lower than some conventional B-level ninjutsu.

In the second stage, one is required to master the changes in the properties of the wind attribute chakra and achieve a certain level of change in form, turning the wind attribute chakra into a membrane covering the surface of the body.

Although the defense is not that strong, it can make the speed, which has already been improved by a level, reach a higher level.

This is already very difficult. After all, the change in the nature of chakra alone is already at the level of a senior ninja, and Chiyo herself is at this stage.

As for what's next, Chiyo only proposed a concept, hoping that later generations can improve it.

That is to develop a complete wind-style chakra mode just like the Raikage lineage of the Hidden Cloud Village.

However, to achieve this, one's attainment in wind escape must reach the pinnacle, and one also needs a body that is no less powerful than that of the Raikage.

Without an extremely strong body, the body would not be able to withstand the violent chakra when the wind style chakra mode is activated.
