Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

How did Konoha discover the Akatsuki's actions?

Such a precise and well-timed operation, which gathers a large number of combat forces, must have been based on prior knowledge of the organization's classified intelligence!

As if suddenly remembering something, Obito gritted his teeth slightly in resentment.

"Shennong!"

Absolutely right.

The timing of Shennong's disappearance coincides perfectly with the timing of Konoha's operation.

Something must have gone wrong on Shennong's side, and he was captured by Konoha!

"This idiot!"

It has an earthy feel to it.

We shouldn't have hired that idiot in the first place!

Meanwhile, the final battle between Pain and Mirai Namikaze begins.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

With a raised hand, he unleashed a wide-range repulsive attack, instantly turning the rubble in front of him into dust. The terrifying repulsive force, carrying the rubble and sand, formed a massive wall of air that surged forward.

Faced with this overwhelming attack, Mirai Namikaze also raised her hand to attack, unleashing a repulsive force no less powerful than Shinra Tensei.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

Boom! ! !

Centered on the future of the wave, an arc-shaped shockwave suddenly erupted, sweeping away the rocks wherever it went, like a pure white holy light that cleanses the world of its filth, meeting the overwhelming repulsive force.

How come you know how to do that too?

Pain's expression changed drastically!

Mastering repulsive force—this is a power possessed only by gods!

"Is this difficult?"

Namikaze Mirai disagreed.

Is it difficult to create a repulsive force from electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental forces?

Repulsive force is at most only one branch of electromagnetic force.

The two enormous repulsive forces collided, tearing the earth apart and causing rocks to collapse. The mountain peak, already subjected to the full force of the aerial fortress, could not withstand the impact of the clash between the two powerful forces and burst open from the middle.

Mountain: I've cracked open? ???

Sensing that the rocks beneath their feet were no longer stable, the expressions of the two ninjas engaged in battle changed drastically, and they retreated to create distance.

"Damn it! How can they be so strong?"

Kakuzu was filled with resentment.

The energy blasts between Mirai Namikaze and Pain Tendo were terrifying.

The mountains collapsed due to the drought!

If I were to unfortunately get involved, I might not even know how I died!

"I'm someone who has fought Hashirama Senju!!!"

Kakuzu was unwilling to accept this, and he vented all his resentment on Kakashi, unleashing a fierce fire jutsu from the mask on his shoulder.

Clang!

With a crisp metallic sound, the orange-red fireball that was heading towards Kakashi split open in the middle, and Kakashi rushed forward, his short sword slashing down sharply.

Kakuzu trembled with fear.

He's a powerful warrior who fought Hashirama Senju, how could a junior like him completely overwhelm him?

the other side.

After the Demon Sparrow Technique devoured the four Bloodline Limit ninjas, Hiruko felt the power within her body transforming from a life level. Her five slender hands clenched together, and she threw her head back and laughed wildly.

"Hahahaha!!! I did it! I finally did it!"

Possessing four bloodline limits, he stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world!

he made it!

He glanced contemptuously at Sasori of the Red Sand opposite him, his previous panic completely gone, replaced by calm composure and a hint of disdain.

Although he didn't achieve the perfect five bloodline limit as planned, he is now far beyond Sasori's ability to contend with.

"Scorpion, if you beg for mercy, I might take pity on you and give you a dignified death."

Recalling his first meeting with Sasori, his synthetic beast horde was slaughtered by Sasori, and after betraying him and joining the Akatsuki organization, he was suppressed by Sasori at every turn.

This hatred led Hiruko to grant Sasori a dignified death, which he considered quite merciful.

However, it seems that Scorpion has transformed his body into a puppet. How can we kill him?

electric shock?

Fire?

Hiruko's smile quickly froze, because he discovered that Sasori showed no fear whatsoever, but instead looked at him with a mocking gaze.

The look in his eyes was as if he were looking at a clown.

"What are you laughing at?!"

Hiruko was very angry.

What right does a puppet facing certain death have to be defiant?

I'm laughing at your ignorance.

A contemptuous smile lingered in the scorpion's eyes, but there seemed to be something deeper in them, something like pity.

"I laugh at your insignificance, your attempt to dominate the ninja world through physical transformation, but little do you know, I, who have abandoned the physical body, have already reached the highest level of puppetry."

The highest level of puppetry?

Just as Hiruko was confused, Sasori suddenly slammed his hand on the ground, and the summoning spell seal expanded like a spider web.

"Appear! The ultimate technique of the puppeteer! The Ultimate Puppet!"

"Unit-01!!!"

boom!

The thick white fog dissipated, and Hiruko looked up at the giant mecha that had appeared out of nowhere, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"Are you kidding me???"

Chapter 177 How dare a tiny insect look down upon a god!

Is this a puppet?

The moment Hiruko saw Unit-01 appear, that was the first thought that popped into her mind.

Shock, astonishment, disbelief, and other similar emotions welled up within me.

Hiruko felt that his understanding had been greatly impacted.

Before me stood a metallic monster, predominantly purple in color, with sharp lines and a size comparable to a tailed beast.

Is TMD a puppet?

Not only Hiruko, but also the others around, such as Kakuzu and Kisame, were stunned and speechless for a moment.

The Gedo Mazo at Akatsuki's base, it seems to be about this size, right?

Sasori created a heretical demon statue?

Even Xiao Nan, who is usually very composed, was shocked by what she saw.

She suddenly understood why Sasori had joined Konoha.

Given Scorpion's obsession with puppetry, to the point of transforming himself into a puppet, possessing such an unprecedented top-tier puppet, he would probably agree to die on the spot.

Sasori felt an unusual sense of enjoyment as he watched the shocked and incredulous looks on the faces of his former Akatsuki "colleagues".

In a sense, he and Biluhu were the same kind of people.

An almost fanatical obsession with a particular direction, a passion that will stop at nothing to reach the summit.

It is precisely because they are aware of Hiruko's obsession that they cannot tolerate his existence!

"Become the first undead under Unit-01's command!"

Scorpion leaped backward, and the cockpit of Unit-01 popped open, perfectly accommodating Scorpion's body before closing seamlessly.

The mechanical eyes shot out a blinding light. In the cockpit, Scorpion pushed the control stick, maneuvering Unit-01 to launch an attack. He raised his foot, and the unit crushed down like a small mountain.

Hiruko, shrouded in shadow, felt a chill run down his spine, an unprecedented sense of crisis welling up inside him.

His intuition told him that if he didn't take this battle seriously, he would die!

Whoosh!
