Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 58 Hatake Sakumo vs. Chiyo

The Battlefront of Konoha River.

Tsunade stood on the giant slug, hands on her hips, exuding an imposing aura.

How could Tsunade, an elite Jonin of Konoha, be weaker than Orochimaru?

She's not just a medical ninja; her strength is on par with Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

Ahead, Konoha ninjas are fighting against Sunagakure ninjas, and the entire mountain forest has become a battlefield.

Flames, flowing water, gales, thunder, and rocks caused by ninjutsu constantly erupted on this mountain.

The rocks visibly began to collapse and shrink in the face of the ninja's powerful ninjutsu.

The mountains could not be preserved intact.

A deafening roar could be heard in the distance.

Tsunade's gaze was fixed on the still-attractive woman standing on the rock in the distance.

Sunagakure Chiyo.

This is a ninja from the same era as the old guy Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Moreover, she is a pillar of Sunagakure, so Tsunade dares not underestimate this old woman.

According to intelligence, this old woman possesses a puppet capable of destroying a country.

She found herself in a standoff with the other party.

Moreover, the current course of the war is in her favor.

The Sand Village ninja are suffering repeated defeats under the attack of Konoha.

After all, as the village with the most ninjutsu, competing with Konoha in ninjutsu is tantamount to suicide, especially with Tsunade's slugs healing Konoha's ninjas.

and many more.

"Ninjutsu?"

Tsunade's expression changed, and she began searching the entire battlefield.

The battlefield consisted mostly of clashes between ninjutsu, with only a small portion being puppeteers from the Sand Village.

Why are there so few puppeteers in the Sand Village? They used to have an entire puppeteer squad!

Even if Tsunade had never seen the enemy's puppet army, she had heard of it.

His gaze once again fell upon Chiyo.

With a swift movement of his feet, he shot forward.

Chiyo remained expressionless, her hands rapidly forming hand seals.

"Wind Release! Wind Killing Formation!"

A vacuum of air appeared out of nowhere, threatening to engulf Tsunade in its current.

But Tsunade actually charged forward despite enduring the wind-style ninjutsu.

He raised his leg high and slammed it down on Chiyo.

"Painful Heavenly Kick!"

The kick was incredibly fast, and Chiyo barely managed to dodge it.

"boom!"

A huge crater appeared in the ground. Although Chiyo dodged the kick, she couldn't avoid the flying debris.

"That old man Chiyo won't use ninjutsu against me."

Tsunade landed and squatted down, retracting her fists to her abdomen.

"Who are you!"

With a single punch, the powerful force of the impact forced a rush of air forward. Chiyo had no chance to dodge and was struck squarely by the blow. She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her bones shattered, and her internal organs were crushed by the punch.

He's completely doomed.

As the smoke of death billowed out, "Chiyo" transformed into an unfamiliar female ninja.

"retreat!!"

A shout came from among the Sand Ninja.

Upon seeing that Chiyo had been exposed, they immediately retreated and left.

Tsunade frowned, and one by one, Konoha ninjas gathered around her, kneeling on the ground and shouting in unison.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade's arrival brought them a rare victory, no wonder they were so excited.

But Tsunade felt no joy.

Chiyo, who should have been on the defensive, has disappeared.

She had a bad feeling.

Where are the enemy's puppet troops? And why is that old woman Chiyo placing a substitute here?

Squinting, I looked into the distance.

"Everyone, follow me! Charge into the Land of Rivers!"

At her command, all the Konoha ninjas followed her toward the Land of Rivers.

She already had some ideas in mind.

The Sand Village's target should be Hatake Sakumo!

the other side.

Chiyo controlled ten white humanoid puppets with her fingers, launching a frenzied attack on Hatake Sakumo.

Her eyes were bloodshot; she had watched helplessly as her son and daughter-in-law died at the hands of Hatake Sakumo.

The puppet army also suffered heavy losses at this time.

It can be said that White Fang alone caused Sunagakure to lose more than half of its fighting force.

Hatake Sakumo's figure flashed repeatedly, but compared to his previous wanton slaughter, this time it was not so easy.

The ten white puppets worked together seamlessly, giving him no chance to escape.

The puppet is also extremely hard and not so easy to split.

For a time, he was unable to get close to Chiyo.

The ten white puppets are the greatest masterpiece created by the puppet master, Bunzaemon.

The Ten Men of Chikamatsu.

Their hard bodies give them taijutsu skills that surpass those of ordinary ninjas who specialize in taijutsu, and when they work together, they can unleash powerful ninjutsu.

No matter how fast Hatake Sukeshige was, the Chikamatsu Ten could keep up.

The main issue is that the users need to keep up.

Chiyo is on a completely different level from those puppeteers.

Just as Hatake Sakumo was fighting the ten puppets, Chiyo was amazed by Hatake Sakumo's strength. The opponent was actually suppressing the Chikamatsu Ten, and it was only because of his many years of combat experience that he was able to win.

She couldn't even keep up with the other person's speed.

His hands flew rapidly, his fingers leaving afterimages.

The three puppets suddenly overlapped.

"Puppet Technique! Three Treasures Absorb and Collapse!"

The strong suction created a huge tornado that tried to pull Hatake Susumu towards it.

He stuck the knife into the ground, but he still couldn't stop the suction force; it was still pulling him little by little.

The other puppets also attacked.

If this continues, he might die here.

Quick hand seals with one hand.

"Lightning Release: Sixteen Pillars Binding Technique!"

The gray rock and soil instantly transformed into a huge box, imprisoning the three puppets, followed by violent lightning strikes from within.

Hatake Sakumo also broke free from the suction force, and at the same time, he swung the knife in his hand forcefully.

The surging chakra transformed into a blue crescent moon slash, forcing back the oncoming puppet.

"The upgraded version of Tempest Kick: Tempest Slash!"

The moment when three puppets are locked up and the other puppets are repelled.

His breathing changed accordingly, and the electric arc flickered.

Hatake Sakumo transformed into a white line and rapidly approached Chiyo.

Lightning crackled around the white crescent moon.

The wind howled at its powerful speed.

Chiyo then formed hand seals.

"Puppet Technique! Mechanical Shield Seal!"

A white puppet appeared in front of Chiyo without her noticing.

A blue, transparent shield stood in front.

The sword and shield collided, and surprisingly, they emitted a blue light.

The other puppets behind them had caught up by this time, and some of the imprisoned puppets broke through the blockade and rushed over.

Countless chakra threads emerged from Chiyo's body and quickly wrapped around Hatake Sakumo's body, restricting his movements.

Instead of retreating, Hatake Sakumo advanced, revealing bulging veins on the upper half of his face.

The white light on his knife suddenly shone brightly.

He remained silent, but he gave it his all.

"Click!"

A crack appeared on the blue shield.

"How is that possible!"

Chiyo stared at Hatake Sakumo in disbelief.

But it has already happened.

"Click click click".

The shield shattered instantly.

The two were only one body length apart.

Hatake Sakumo had already raised his sword, slashing at Chiyo with a speed far faster than the puppet behind him.
