I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 106 and 108: The Third Kazekage's Strongest Strike!

The Wind Shadow puppet, floating in the sky like a black kite, removed half of its robe, revealing a complex and sophisticated device resembling the opening of a mechanical engine. From within, almost tangible blue light burst forth.

Countless forked, cone-shaped iron sands spread outwards from the human puppet in all directions, resembling a capillary network extending from the heart to every part of the body when viewed from a distance.

Master Jiriku glanced back and saw that everyone from the Metropolitan Police Department had fled, but only Yuji Kanbara remained in the same spot.

"Esteemed benefactor, why are you still here? It's far too dangerous for you to stay."

Yuji Kambara forced a smile and said:

"The Holy Monk was so badly injured protecting us. How could I abandon Master Dilu and run away at such a critical moment? Including this time, the Holy Monk has saved me twice already. So, I'm still the one who came out ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuji Kanbara pulled out his pistol and started firing at the human puppet in the sky.

"Bang bang bang!"

However, the bullets fly out of the muzzle, sometimes straight up, sometimes at a 90-degree angle to the right, their trajectories are completely unpredictable, and sometimes two bullets even collide in mid-air.

"How strange! Why is the bullet deviating like this?"

Yuji Kambara had no idea when he had mastered the skill of making bullets curve without any instruction. He emptied his magazine in one go and saw more than a dozen bullets floating in the air, undergoing irregular Brownian motion.

While they were still in shock and uncertainty, they heard Master Dilu say calmly:

"It's no use. Your guns are also made of metal. As long as they are metal weapons, they won't work on it."

"You're right, traveling together won't be too lonely, Iron Sand Realm Law!"

At Sasori's command, the forked iron sand spears plunged forward into the ground, completely plowing up the concrete surface, causing it to collapse.

The countless branches of the sand and iron tracks spread out irregularly, making it impossible to discern the trajectory of the attack.

At the critical moment, Master Dilu wiped the blood seeping from his lower abdomen with his right hand, then with his left, clenched his fists, and roared:

"Iron Wall Sealing!"

Two uniquely shaped statues, each over ten meters long, suddenly rose from the ground, with an iron gate sandwiched between them.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Bang!"

Amidst the deafeningly loud crash, there was a grating, teeth-grinding metallic scraping sound.

The two statues were riddled with holes by the forked, cone-shaped iron sand, and the iron gate was also dented in several places, almost being pierced through.

"Bang!"

The summoned sealed iron wall turned into smoke and vanished into nothingness, but Master Jiriku and Yuuji Kanbara, who were hiding behind it, were completely unharmed.

"You blocked it again!"

Sasori of the Red Sand sighed and rubbed his forehead, his tone seemingly filled with complex emotions that were hard to describe.

"I've repeatedly failed to deal with juniors like you; I'm truly ashamed. But there won't be a next time! This time, I'll wipe you all out!"

Sasori of the Red Sand glared at her and said coldly.

Yuji Kanbara felt a sudden chill run down his spine, and his whole body broke out in a cold sweat. Was the holy monk always fighting against such monsters?

After summoning that impenetrable wall, the Holy Monk of the Earth and Land seemed to be exhausted. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.

Yuji Kambara quickly stepped forward to help the holy monk up, and then tried to carry him away to escape.

However, the iron sand that had buried Master Jiroku's feet was like a living thing, tightly binding his thighs. No matter how hard Shinobu Yuuji tried, he could not move the holy monk.

Master Jiraiya's face was ashen, and he looked somewhat weak, but his compassionate expression remained unchanged. He clasped his hands together in a Buddhist gesture and smiled calmly at Yuuji Kanbara:

"Don't worry, it's over."

"That's right, it's almost over, and you're all going to die here."

The forked, cone-shaped iron sands slowly returned to the heart of the Wind Shadow puppet, as if following its heartbeat. Whenever the puppet's core beats again, countless iron spikes will shoot out once more, skewering the two of them like roasted birds.

"The Iron Sand Realm..."

Sasori of the Red Sand frowned, suddenly noticing something amiss.

The crisscrossing iron spikes in the sky began to disintegrate, and strands of iron sand began to flow downwards, like a black downpour.

"Were we having too much fun to notice that our spiritual energy was depleted? In that case, this projection will have to end here. But now that we have the coordinates, the next descent to the lower realm will be much smoother."

Sasori of the Red Sand pulled the Kazekage puppet in front of him, sealed it away with a scroll, glanced at Master Jiraiya from afar, and said:

"Young man from the Fire Temple, it seems you've escaped with your life."

"Hehehe, not necessarily. You've already been injured by my iron sand, and the deadly poison on it will kill you within three days. Although it's a projection, it's no joke. If the projection dies in the human world, the original body will perish as well."

Sasori of the Red Sand sneered, and his massive body began to turn earthy yellow, transforming into a pile of lifelike sand sculptures.

projection?

Upon witnessing this scene, Yuji Kambara felt as if he had vaguely grasped the secret of the superhuman's teleportation!

But seeing that Master Dilu was already seriously injured, he didn't have time to think and pulled him out of the pile of iron sand.

After losing its master's control, the iron sand was no longer as sticky and heavy as before, and with a little force, it pulled the land's feet out of it.

"Holy Monk, please wait a moment, I'll call 119 right away, the ambulance will be here soon!"

Yuji Kambara took out his phone, ready to dial an emergency number, but saw that the screen started to distort and the phone lost signal.

"What's going on now?"

Yuji Kambara frantically tapped the icons on his phone, but nothing happened.

The cell phones the Metropolitan Police Department provided them weren't cheap; they were guaranteed to be high-quality. They could withstand being dropped from the tenth floor without any problems. So why did they malfunction at the crucial moment?

It felt like I had lost signal, as if I were in some place with an abnormal magnetic field.

"No need, benefactor, it's just a minor injury, no need to make a fuss." Master Dilu waved his hand, his eyes showing worry.

"I never expected even Sasori of the Red Sand to join the Akatsuki, and that a mere projection of him could defeat me... cough cough cough, the situation in the surface world is really getting worse and worse..."

Seeing the Holy Monk of the Earthly Realm coughing up blood again, Yuuji Kanbara couldn't help but offer a word of advice:

"Stop talking, Holy Monk, let's get to the hospital quickly. Let me help you to the street to hail a taxi..."

"boom!"

A loud bang came from the distant sky, followed by several small black dots on the horizon, which arrived in an instant—it was a squadron of fighter jets!
