Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 177 Sasori's Shock

"Is that so? So you brought this useless puppet to me?"

Chiga gave a mocking laugh.

"This human puppet is just my first successful experiment; it has some sentimental value, otherwise I would have destroyed it long ago!"

However, Chiga's words made Sasori of the Red Sand laugh, as if Chiga had told a very funny joke.

"You didn't come here just with this broken piece of art, did you?"

"No way, no way! You actually think this is all I'm capable of?"

Sasori of the Red Sand took out another scroll, slowly unfurled it, covered his face, and laughed wildly, "I hope you won't be too surprised when you see this most perfect work of art of mine!"

Chiga rolled her eyes at Sasori of the Red Sand and said disdainfully, "Tch, he's just the Third Kazekage of your Sunagakure!"

"You cough. Cough."

Chiga's words choked Sasori, almost choking him.

"What?!"

Sasori stared at Chiga in disbelief, asking in bewilderment, "How did you know? How could you possibly know?!"

"I've got X-ray vision!"

Chiga shrugged. "Do I really need to tell you that I'm a time traveler?"

"Damn it, did that guy tell you that?"

Sasori, realizing his information had been leaked, thought for a moment and concluded that only White Zetsu could have leaked it to Chiga. He then turned his murderous intent toward the other side of the battlefield.

White Zetsu felt a shiver run through his body, glanced at Sasori of the Red Sand for no apparent reason, and was then dragged into the battle by Hyuga Hizashi and the other two.

"After I've dealt with you, I'm going to kill that guy with my own hands!"

Sasori of the Red Sand knew that this was not the time to break ties with White Zetsu, so he could only suppress his killing intent and look at Chiga.

"Now that you know, I'll show you my greatest work!"

"Come forth, my most perfect work of art!"

Bang!

The instant Sasori threw the scroll, a tall human puppet appeared on the battlefield.

As the smoke cleared, Sasori of the Red Sand stared at the Third Kazekage's puppet with a fanatical gaze, as if on a pilgrimage.

Chiga covered her face; it was an eyesore.

How cringeworthy!

Does Sasori of the Red Sand have this side to him?

It seems this kid was quite the player when he was young; he doesn't have the mature and seasoned demeanor he has later on.

Extending his finger and connecting it to the Third Kazekage's puppet form, Sasori of the Red Sand confidently declared to Chiga, "That was just a warm-up; the real battle is about to begin!"

"That's true. It seems I'll have to show some real skills too!"

Seeing this, Chiga knew that with his current physical condition, he was no match for the Third Kazekage, who was essentially a puppet.

"Oh?"

Sasori of the Red Sand raised an eyebrow. In the information White Zetsu had given him, it had been mentioned that Uchiha Chika had mastered a special state.

It's a state called Sage Mode.

After entering, I improved my strength in all aspects.

It was through this method that Uchiha Chika was able to eliminate the four hundred ninjas of the Grass Fruit and destroy the stronghold of Sunagakure.

"Ninja Art: Sage Mode!"

Chiga formed hand seals and gave a soft shout.

Suddenly, the shadow clone that had been collecting natural energy in the distance vanished, and then a mask appeared on Chiga's face.

"Is this Sage Mode?"

Sasori of the Red Sand was also seeing Sage Mode for the first time, and he looked at Chiga with curiosity, trying to figure something out.

But after looking at it for a long time, I still felt that Chiga was no different from the previous ones.

"Now, the real battle begins!"

A brief silence fell between the two sides as their eyes met.

The moment their murderous auras collided in the air, the two men attacked almost simultaneously.

Chiga's body transformed into a blur, rushing forward without any feints, and with Gale in hand, he charged toward the Third Kazekage who was blocking the way.

Sasori's pupils contracted slightly and his fingers twitched as he saw Chiga's speed.

The Third Kazekage in the air instantly formed a mark.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Rain!

In an instant, countless fine needles made of iron sand gathered around the Third Kazekage and were launched towards Chiga at an extremely fast speed.

Upon seeing the oncoming needles, Chiga felt a sense of danger. He abruptly stopped, forcefully halting his forward momentum. Then, he twisted his foot and leaped to the side, trying to dodge the barrage of iron needles.

However, the iron sand needles, like ocean waves, were not only dense but also covered a wide area, making it difficult for even Chiga to escape their instantaneous burst of speed.

Upon seeing this, Chiga immediately mobilized the Sage Chakra within his body, precisely covering his entire body with it. Subsequently, deep blue chakra began to emanate from his body.

Sage Art: Chakra Burst!

In an instant, Chiga's body erupted with a powerful gust of air, scattering all the iron needles that were within arm's reach.

At that moment, Chiga, braving the dense barrage of iron needles, charged forward and drew his sword to slash at the Third Kazekage.

"The Senju clan's attack methods?!"

Sasori of the Red Sand was puzzled when he saw this. This kid was clearly a member of the Uchiha clan, so how could he unleash the chakra of the Senju clan?

Hybrid varieties?

He remembered that although the two clans lived in the same village, their relationship was not very good.

But now it seems, lol, Konoha Village is really in chaos!

"Hmph, so many tricks up their sleeves!"

Sasori of the Red Sand had no time to think. Chiga had already arrived in front of the Third Kazekage. If he didn't stop him, his most perfect work of art would be chopped into pieces again.

His fingers trembled rapidly, a speed that even Kakashi, who had been single for years, couldn't match.

The Third Kazekage's rapid barrage of iron sand suddenly stopped, turning into fine iron sand fragments. These fragments then formed a black cylinder above the Third Kazekage, which then crashed violently towards Chiga.

Chiga's pupils contracted, and he swung his sword, colliding with the cylinder with a loud crash.

Whoosh!

Because this cylinder was formed from countless solidified iron sands, it began to collapse from head to toe under Chiga's single slash.

Some of the flying iron sand flew towards Chiga, and upon contact with the burning chakra on Chiga's body, it instantly vaporized, emitting a puff of white smoke.

Seeing this, Sasori of the Red Sand raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and he already had an idea in mind.

Subsequently, under Sasori's control, the scattered iron sand did not solidify into any shape, but simply piled up together, forming a huge black wave that surged towards Chiga.

Before long, the iron sand sealed off all sides of Chiga, gradually shrinking inward, as if trying to completely envelop Chiga.

Upon seeing Chika trapped in the sea of ​​iron sand, Sasori immediately took control of the Third Kazekage once more. The Third Kazekage clasped his hands together, and a deluge of iron sand poured down like a storm.
