Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

Tsunade looked at Ye Chen with slight surprise, then said, "No, I have to teach this old woman a lesson!"

"Pfft!"

Chiyo was utterly exasperated, almost spitting blood. What was even more infuriating was that this nobody, Yoruichi Yoru, was far too arrogant and disdainful of everyone! He didn't even need Tsunade's intervention; he was enough on his own. Who did he think he was, the Hokage of Konoha? "Konoha's ninjas are all incredibly arrogant. Very well, then let me experience your skills!"

Chiyo said fiercely.

Ye Chen prepared to step forward, but Tsunade stepped forward first and said, "Leave the old woman to me, Ye Chen, you go and wake up the other small fry."

"All right!"

Seeing Tsunade's defiant attitude, Yoruichi agreed.

Chiyo is currently at her peak. If judged solely by her strength, her mastery of puppetry is enough to place her between the Quasi-Kage and Kage levels! The ordinary Kage level is her limit, after all, there is a fundamental difference between her and the puppetry genius Sasori of the Red Sand.

Even so, it shouldn't be too easy for Tsunade to deal with such a veteran powerhouse.

"Hehehe!"

"Tsunade, Hiruzen Sarutobi is... like that! Disrespecting his seniors will get him punished."

Chiyo said, taking out a scroll from her hand.

"Senior, old woman, you're like the Yangtze River, where the younger generation surpasses the older, and the older generation dies on the beach. Besides, we're enemies to begin with, so why should I be polite to you?"

After Tsunade finished speaking, she moved with lightning speed and threw a punch! A strong burst of energy shot out from her fist, creating an invisible air shockwave that shattered five times! Chiyo remained calm and dodged to the side, only surprised by how fast Tsunade's Body Flicker was.

"Old woman, you're pretty fast!"

Tsunade deliberately provoked her.

"you"

Chiyo was furious! From the moment they met until now, she'd been called an old woman countless times. While she was indeed no longer young, she was still the most beautiful woman in Sunagakure, admired and revered by many! "Today, I'll teach that old man Sarutobi a lesson!"

Chiyo formed hand seals, unfurled a scroll in front of her, and shouted, "White Secret Technique: Chikamatsu Ten Men and Ten Generals!"

A series of white mists appeared, followed by ten puppets, each with a distinct style and unique shape, all wrapped in long robes! The Chikamatsu Ten are puppets created by Bunkaemon, the progenitor of puppetry. A skilled puppeteer can control them and they can be as powerful as ten against a thousand, known as one puppet against a thousand! Chiyo is a top-tier puppeteer. Before Sasori of the Red Sand became famous, she was the strongest in the ninja world. When Chiyo released her puppets, the chakra threads she used to control them naturally connected to the puppets.

At the same time, she finally revealed her chakra reserves, which were greater than Ye Chen's at this moment, and even greater than Tsunade's at this time when she had not yet cultivated the Hundred Healings Technique and her strength had not reached its true peak! She definitely surpassed elite Jonin, Quasi-Kage, and perhaps even stronger! Puppet masters do not cultivate ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu, but only puppets.

In other words, the stronger the puppet, the stronger the user! But Chiyo is an exception. She is not only an excellent puppeteer, but also proficient in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu! According to official data, Chiyo's physical strength in her old age was even stronger than that of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi! Who was Hiruzen Sarutobi? A true Kage-level ninja, a ninjutsu expert, and the First and Second Hokage who could be resurrected by Edo Tensei alone.

From this, one can imagine that Chiyo's strength at her peak at this moment is astonishing! The moment Tsunade sensed this chakra, her expression became serious.

She kept talking to Chiyo, actually trying to provoke her with words! If she angered Chiyo and Chiyo lost her composure, it would be extremely disadvantageous for controlling the puppet.

Her plan did succeed, but Chiyo's strength also put her under tremendous pressure.

This is a puppet, and basically each one has the strength to threaten a Jonin. You can also think of it as ten 10s being Jonin-level puppets.

While it may not possess the agility and versatility of a true Jonin, it is absolutely terrifying in the hands of someone like Chiyo, whose mastery of puppetry is unparalleled.

However, Chiyo was a puppeteer after all, and Tsunade had no fear of puppets.

Forget about puppets and traps, one punch is all it takes to crush them all! In the next instant, Chiyo, who was controlling the puppet, launched an attack directly at Tsunade.

"Drill: Mental Gymnastics"

As the puppet attacked, Chiyo also used a puppeteer's exclusive skill! She brought her hands together, drawing out five chakra wires that pierced the air! "One-Sword Style: Thirty-Six Winds!"

On the other side, a cold and ruthless voice rang out! Ye Chen instantly entered the Sand Ninja's encirclement, wielding the Enma Black Blade, and slashed down in a flash! Dozens of sword energies swirled like a vortex, and the entire Sand Ninja was swept up in the air like a tornado, unable to move! "Ah!"

"what!"

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower!

Uchiha Mikoto formed hand seals to receive Ye Chen's attack, and Yu Feng cooperated, sending bursts of fire meteors crashing into the Sand Ninja and igniting them completely.

Chapter 100 The Death of Chiyo (Fifth Update)

　"what!"

Chiyo noticed the scene beside her, her pupils contracted, and twenty-odd Sand Shinobi couldn't take down two Konoha Anbu. "Old woman, don't get distracted!"

A blue chakra scalpel appeared in Tsunade's hand, severing Chiyo's chakra threads! She then instantly teleported and unleashed a punch! The speed of the shave was incredible, even faster than a typical advanced Body Flicker Technique.

Chiyo was very skilled in physical combat, but she was still a puppeteer, and her Body Flicker Technique wasn't particularly advanced! She couldn't dodge in time! But at the critical moment, one of the demon-faced puppets from Chikamatsu Juemon's puppet troop blocked Chiyo's path.

"boom!"

Tsunade's powerful punch struck Chikamatsu Juemon squarely in the center, but the puppet only trembled slightly and seemed to be largely unharmed.

"Heh, these puppets are all made of iron sand, supposedly the strongest defense! Tsunade, no matter how strong you are, you can still pierce through iron sand!"

Chiyo smiled smugly, then gently moved the chakra threads in her hand, and the puppet's robe suddenly opened, revealing two mechanical arms on its belly. The mechanical arms quickly grabbed Tsunade's hands, binding them.

Tsunade tried to shake it off, but the puppet was stronger than she had imagined, and she couldn't break free for a moment! *Crack!* The puppet's internal gears creaked, and to Tsunade's eyes, its head cracked open, revealing countless needle-like holes! *Whoosh! Whoosh!* Hundreds of mechanical poison needles shot out in an instant! If someone were hit by these, they would definitely become... a hedgehog... "Heh heh, these poison needles won't be fatal, but they'll definitely give you a hard time."

Chiyo said, "I was careless!"

A pang of regret flashed through Tsunade's mind, but her expression hardened as she roared, "I am the granddaughter of the God of Shinobi, the niece of the Second Hokage, the student of the Third Hokage, and the future Hokage! You mere puppet, die!"

An incredible power erupted from Tsunade, the punch that had been aimed at the puppet now carrying a powerful force that pierced through the sand iron defenses! Boom! Shave! With a deafening explosion, the parts of the Chikamatsu Ten were scattered all over the ground! Just as the poison needles were about to strike, Tsunade teleported away! On the other side, Yoruichi, wielding Enma, slaughtered the Sand Ninja with unstoppable force! Almost one strike was enough, either decapitation or... cut in half... his attacks were ruthless, like a demonic raven, leaving a trail of blood! Even Jonin couldn't withstand Yoruichi's killing spree! Absolute speed, absolute power, and the sharpest weapon! All ninjutsu were paper tigers before him, easily broken with a single strike! The Chikamatsu Ten were blasted apart by Tsunade, and the twenty-odd Sand Ninja on one side were almost completely wiped out, leaving only two or three with expressions of fear and no will to fight.

Chiyo stared at the reversal of the battle, in disbelief! In such a short time, their entire Sand Ninja squad had been wiped out. Why did the method seem so familiar? Wasn't this exactly what happened to the Iwa Ninja not long ago? That… the Rakshasa Anbu wielding the black sword, who was he? Could it be that the one who killed all the Iwa Ninja before was this person?! A terrifying thought flashed through Chiyo's mind, and she felt a chill run down her spine! "Tsunade, I've finished here."

"You're not finished yet"

Ye Chen said, carrying Yama. There wasn't a drop of blood on the black blade, but it looked even more sinister and frightening.

"You think everyone's as twisted as you?!"

Tsunade couldn't help but complain.

Mikoto Uchiha followed behind. This was the easiest battle she had ever fought since entering the battlefield. All she had to do was provide support by casting some fire-style attacks.

"Chiyo-sama!"

The remaining Sand Ninjas approached Chiyo with mournful faces, their expressions filled with fear and dread.

The Rakshasa Dark Division on the other side is extremely cruel; basically, someone dies as soon as they raise their sword.

They treated ninjas as if they were worthless, killing them at will! "Tsunade, leave it to me."

Ye Chen walked over, the blade of Yama dragging on the ground, making a slight scraping sound. This step was as if he was treading on mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Tsunade originally wanted to fight Chiyo, but after looking at the ten Chikamatsu members and Chiyo at her peak, she thought for a moment and said, "Alright, be careful!"

"Who are you? Why has Konoha never heard of such a powerful figure as you?"

Chiyo asked.

"Dark Force Rakshasa!"

Ye Chen said calmly, slowly raising his arm, the blade of Yama exuding an astonishing killing intent.

"Rakshasa!"

"I'll remember that!"

"kill!"

Ye Chen drew his sword and flashed, a black light slicing through the void! Chiyo's pupils flashed with an astonishing light, her expression calm.

With a wave of her arms, chakra threads danced and swirled around her fingertips! One of the ten close-combatants, who had just been annihilated by Tsunade, was instantly healed by the chakra threads! At the same time, the ten strongest puppets of the 10 lined up in a circle, surrounding Chiyo! Chiyo waved her hands, and the puppet strings trembled! Ten super puppets, comparable to Jonin, launched their attacks, unlike the single puppet that appeared when she fought Tsunade.

An ordinary puppeteer can control one puppet with one finger, and at most control two or three puppets.

Chiyo's ability to control ten puppets with her ten fingers is already the limit for an ordinary puppeteer! Whoosh!! The puppets move at an extremely fast speed, which cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

It is powered by Chiyo's chakra and also has a special internal mechanism that serves as its source of power.

The fastest puppet arrived in front of Ye Chen almost instantly. With a strange twist of its body, countless green poison needles suddenly shot out towards Ye Chen.

Despite the barrage of poison needles, Ye Chen showed no intention of retreating.

It was a direct... slash! The black Haki of Ryuo transformed into a slash, a crescent-shaped blade of energy cleaving through the air! One end of the blade turned black, while the other end remained the real world! The poison needles were all frozen in mid-air by the Haki of Ryuo, eventually cracking and breaking, falling like raindrops.

This was Yama's slashing attack, relentless and continuous! Ye Chen unleashed three consecutive slashes! Each one seemed to slice the world in two, each one breathtaking! Crack! Crack! The nearest puppet, still in a running posture, was suddenly cut in half! "It actually sliced ​​through iron sand with a single strike, what kind of sword is this?"

Chiyo stared at the severed Chikamatsu Juemon, but before she could think any further, Ye Chen's blade was already close to her head! None of the ten puppets could withstand Ye Chen's advance; they were swept aside like dry leaves and decaying wood! Moreover, with so many puppets destroyed at once, it was impossible for them to reassemble in an instant.

"cut!"

Ye Chen showed no mercy and swung down Yanmo. With a flash of black light, Chiyo's head flew off, and blood spurted out.

"Dead"

Chapter 101 Fire Fist Elementalization (First Update)

　Looking at the headless Chiyo in front of him, her body lying on the ground, lifeless.

Logically speaking, a person without a head is bound to die.

However, Ye Chen has a system. If he confirms that he has killed the target, he will definitely receive a notification! The fact that there is no notification means that Chiyo is not dead! Suddenly, his Observation Haki triggered a frantic warning. Ye Chen instinctively tried to dodge, but he was too late, or perhaps he deliberately revealed a flaw.

Sizzle! The puppet parts that he had chopped into pieces had somehow appeared at his feet! These puppet parts moved, one by one, and pressed against his body. First, they bound his legs, then they surrounded his upper body. In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen's body was completely encased in the puppet parts.

This made him look like a human puppet.

Numerous swords were aimed at Ye Chen, ready to unleash a barrage of poison needles, scrapers, blades, and axes the moment he moved.

"Ye Chen!"

Tsunade looked anxious.

"Hey hey hey!"
