Chapter 107 The Puppet Master's Assault, Unlocking the Puppet·Heavy Particle Formation (Third Update)

The moon is high in the sky.

Xia Mu yawned.

He and Yakushi Nonou are keeping watch.

Although Hyuga Hizashi and the others were outside the tent, they still dared not let their guard down.

After all, ninjas from Sunagakure could appear at any time.

Theoretically speaking, no one can escape the scrutiny of the White Eye.

But that's not necessarily true in reality.

The ninja world is filled with all sorts of bizarre ninjutsu, secret techniques, and bloodline limits.

Xia Mu knew that the nemesis of the white eye was the red eye.

The red eye can create chakra images and completely interfere with the Byakugan's judgment.

In the original work, the owner of the red eyes is named Ranmaru.

He was ostracized by the villagers in his childhood because of his red eyes. After meeting Raiga Kurosuki, he became Raiga's eyes, helping him to scout and fight.

Natsuki reached out and gently stroked Yakushi Nonou's face.

She had already drifted off to sleep, her head resting on his lap.

Natsuki wondered when Sunagakure would take action.

He stole the drugs the night before last, and now it's the third night.

If they wait any longer, Natsuki will start to suspect that Chiyo will switch to a new poison.

Even for her, creating a new poison is not an easy task.

Just then, a deafening explosion rang out.

Yakushi Nono, Nawaki, and Maruboshi Kosuke were all awakened.

Xia Mu subconsciously turned his head.

The explosion came from the direction of Konoha Village's headquarters.

"Enemy attack?"

Nawaki gripped his greatsword, Samehada, and asked.

"It sounds like the Sand Village is attacking our headquarters."

Maruhoshi Kosuke frowned and asked, "What are they planning to do?"

"Feint to the east while attacking in the west."

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow and said, "This is a tactic we used just the night before last."

"Does that mean someone might sneak in during the chaos?"

Maruhoshi Kosuke realized what was happening and asked, "Are we their target?"

"It's unclear at the moment."

Xia Mu shook his head and said, "But we need to be prepared for battle."

"Our mission is to protect the medicine and food inside the tents."

Maruhoshi Kosuke glanced at Natsuki and suggested, "Nawaki and I will protect the medicine, and you and Nonou will protect the food."

The tent was large, and since food and medicine were different supplies, they were stored separately.

But Natsuki knew that Maruboshi Kosuke wasn't referring to that.

He planned to lure out any potential enemies hiding in the shadows.

"Can."

Natsuki stood up and walked to the left with Yakushi Nonou.

Maruhoshi Kosuke and Nawaki walked to the right.

As soon as Natsuki and Yakushi Nonou stood firm, the ground suddenly cracked open, and two puppets burst out of the earth.

Each of them has four arms, and the arms are covered with poisoned blades.

The moment they appeared, they stabbed at Natsuki and Yakushi Nonou respectively.

shave!

Natsuki and Yakushi Nonou disappeared from the spot at the same time.

The two puppets' attacks missed.

The two puppeteers hiding in the shadows were startled.

None of them expected that their foolproof sneak attack would fail.

At the same time, Maruboshi Kosuke and Nawaki were also attacked.

The ground they were on suddenly bulged up, turning into countless spikes that pierced towards them.

Kosuke Maruboshi's attention was always highly focused.

In an instant, he did two things.

First, they grabbed the rope tree and threw him out of the spikes' range.

Secondly, he leaped up, grabbed the large pot behind him, and threw it away.

The dense thorns all pierced towards Maruhoshi Kosuke's large pot, making a crisp sound.

Rope Tree also realized what was happening.

After landing, he grabbed the greatsword Samehada and spun around.

Breath of Water - Second Form - Waterwheel!

The greatsword Samehada, carrying a stream of water, crashed into the ground spikes.

In an instant, the earth spikes suddenly exploded, and a large number of them broke off.

Just as Nawaki raised his greatsword Samehada, preparing to strike again, a figure emerged from the ground behind him.

The wind blades tore through the air, like a dense barrage of kunai flying out.

Rope Tree's expression changed slightly.

He didn't have time to change the direction of the Greatsword Samehada.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!

Fortunately, he wasn't fighting alone; a wall of water rose up and blocked the wind blades.

However, just after Maruboshi Kosuke released Water Release: Water Wall, he heard a whooshing sound behind him.

He looked back and saw another Sunagakure ninja appear, wielding four earthen spears as he thrust them at him.

Clearly, he was the earth-style ninja who had attacked them with earth spikes earlier.

And he's a Jonin.

"Kousuke-senpai!"

Rope Tree shouted instinctively.

The next second, to the surprise of the Earth Release Jonin, Maruboshi Kosuke drew a ninja sword with incredible speed.

With flashes of swords and shadows, all four earthen spears were severed.

The Earth Release Jonin immediately realized that Maruboshi Kosuke was no ordinary ninja.

On the other side, after dodging the attacks of the two puppets with a shave, Xia Mu raised his hand and threw out two Thor's Swords.

Fantasy Collapse!

Before the two Thor's swords could hit the two puppets, they suddenly exploded.

The two puppets had just raised their blades when they were engulfed in the explosion.

Flames mixed with chakra energy surged outwards.

The two puppets immediately fell apart.

"Are you Xia Mu?"

A surprised exclamation rang out.

Xia Mu looked at the puppeteer who had spoken.

He was a middle-aged man.

Suddenly, the sounds of fierce fighting came from outside the tent.

Xia Mu thought to himself, "As expected."

He just detonated two Thor's Swords, creating such a loud commotion that anyone who wasn't deaf, like Hyuga Hizashi and the others, could hear it.

But clearly, they also encountered enemies.

Before Xia Mu could speak, he felt a faint stinging sensation behind him.

Another female puppeteer took out a new puppet.

The puppet ran behind Xia Mu, raised its hands, and slashed out with two ninja swords.

Armament Haki!

An invisible barrier blocked the twin blades.

Water Breathing - First Form - Water Surface Slash!

Xia Mu turned around, grasped the projected image of Kurosawa, and swung it out.

The puppet's head immediately fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the female puppeteer began to move her ten fingers.

The headless puppet was now under control; its arms suddenly jerked, unleashing a barrage of shuriken.

shave!

Xia Mu's body flickered and he disappeared from the spot.

That's a super fast teleportation technique!

Upon seeing the female puppeteer with the shaved head again, his expression changed slightly.

She didn't have time to think much and subconsciously looked around.

The middle-aged puppeteer took out two new puppets and placed them on either side of him for defense.

Only after doing all this did he begin looking for Xia Mu.

Both puppeteers tacitly ignored Yakushi Nonou.

One reason is that Xia Mu put too much pressure on them.

Secondly, it was because Yakushi Nonou had run away to a distance, keeping a certain distance from them.

If they go to kill her, they are very likely to be ambushed by Xia Mu and end up in danger themselves.

"Behind you!"

The middle-aged puppeteer's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he shouted.

The female puppeteer turned her head and saw the flashing light of blades like flowing water.

Breath of Water - Fourth Form - Tide of Strike!

Xia Mu delivered a powerful slash that struck the female puppeteer.

But he immediately realized something was wrong.

The female puppeteer became a real puppet.

She and her puppet switched places.

Natsuki immediately thought of Kankuro.

He used similar techniques in the original work.

"Go to hell!"

The female puppeteer raised her arm.

The syringe on his arm shot out countless needles, covering all of Xia Mu's vital points.

Armament Haki!

Finger gun!

Natsuki ignored Senbon, suddenly accelerated, and thrust out his index finger.

"What?"

The female puppeteer never expected that Xia Mu would dare to withstand a thousand blows.

After all, ninjas are known for their high attack but low defense.

She was stunned for a moment, and Xia Mu's index finger touched her head.

The female puppeteer opened her mouth, and a sharp pain spread from between her eyebrows, but it only lasted for a moment.

Because a moment later, she lost consciousness and fell backward.

"How is that possible?"

The middle-aged puppeteer witnessed all of this and showed an expression of disbelief.

Xia Mu first withstood the thousand needles, then pierced the female puppeteer's head with a single finger.

What kind of ninjutsu is this?

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking the fifth ability of the Biguslow template: Puppet - Heavy Particle Formation.]

Xia Mu glanced at it, then looked at the middle-aged puppeteer.

With the unlocking of Ability 5, all six abilities of the Biguslo template have now been unlocked.

He has completed the fusion of another character template.

Ittō-ryū (One-Sword Style), Iaijutsu (Quick Attack), and Shishi-sō (Lion's Lament)!

Xia Mu took a step forward and transformed into a blade of light.

The middle-aged puppeteer was immediately terrified.

Fortunately, he had been paying attention to Xia Mu, and the moment he moved, two puppets blocked his way.

The two puppets raised their arms.

Four ninja swords swept out.

Wherever it passed, the air seemed to tear apart.

Not only is it powerful, it is also fast.

With a clang!

Xia Mu blocked four ninja swords with a single strike.

The two puppets pushed forward, causing his body to involuntarily move backward.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged puppeteer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next second, his vision blurred and he saw five fist-sized puppets suddenly appear.

Puppet Formation!

The five puppets formed a pentagonal formation in the air.

Their bodies trembled, and pentagonal lasers shot out at breakneck speed.

The middle-aged puppeteer's expression changed drastically, and he quickly tried to dodge.

But because it happened so suddenly, he didn't have enough time to react.

A pentagonal laser struck his left arm, causing him to scream in agony.

Blood splattered.

His left arm has temporarily lost sensation.

At the same time, the puppet he was controlling with his left hand also stopped moving.

With one less puppet, Xia Mu's pressure was greatly reduced.

Breath of Water - Fourth Form - Tide of Strike!

Xia Mu steadied himself and suddenly swung his sword.

He slashed both puppets away.

The water crashed against the two puppets, shattering them into pieces.

The middle-aged puppeteer realized something was wrong, gritted his teeth, and took out another puppet.

He raised his still-functioning right arm and manipulated the puppet to charge towards Xia Mu.

shave!

Xia Mu bypassed the puppet and came to the middle-aged puppeteer.

Stylish eyes!

The middle-aged puppeteer met his eyes, and his expression suddenly froze.

It's an illusion!

He realized the problem immediately, but having lost his left arm, he was no longer able to form hand seals or dispel the illusion.

Xia Mu lifted Kurosawa up, and with a swift stroke, chopped off his head.

He then looked at Maruboshi Kosuke and Nawaki.

Although their opponents were two Jonin, they still managed to withstand their fierce offensive.

To be more precise, it was Maruboshi Kosuke fighting two opponents at once, with Nawaki assisting from the side.

This was the first time this perennial genin had shown his true strength.
