Chapter 200 Hashirama Cells + Masamune Cells = Terrifyingly Terrifying

"No way, Scorpion boy, you're a puppeteer! Your fighting power lies in all sorts of puppets. You absolutely mustn't go in yourself!"

"Scorpion boy, don't go! You're making me feel a bit overwhelmed."

Tobima's office.

Seeing the situation on the light screen deteriorate rapidly, Hashirama Senju wished he could rush into the light screen and fight in Sasori's place.

"Brother, please restrain yourself a little."

Seeing Hashirama Senju scratching his head in frustration, Tobirama Senju truly couldn't bear to look at him.

Before his resurrection, Hashirama Senju was quite naive and occasionally a bit of a goofball.

But it's not like now, where they're almost becoming comedic characters.

At this moment, Tobirama was wondering if he had made a mistake when cloning Hashirama's body, adding too much material.

Otherwise, how could his older brother have turned out like this?

"Restraint? Why should I restrain myself?"

Hashirama Senju stood up, crossed his arms, and adopted Madara Uchiha-style domineering posture. He looked around at everyone present and said, "We're all on the same side, so you shouldn't go around gossiping about me, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly waved their hands, indicating that they would not.

"That's good."

Seeing that everyone was understanding, Hashirama Senju nodded, then put his arm around Tobirama's shoulder and continued, "My foolish little brother, there's actually a professional term for my behavior in the books, something like 'releasing one's true nature.' Yes, it's 'releasing one's true nature.'"

"Are you just naturally a goofball?"

"What's wrong with being a goofball? You're happy every day and have no worries~"

"Fine, do whatever you want."

"Haha, I'm in charge of my own life, and nobody can interfere with my freedom."

At that moment, Tobirama Senju felt that it was Madara Uchiha's cells that had affected his older brother.

Just now, Hashirama Senju made a gesture reminiscent of Madara Uchiha, and now he's saying that no one can interfere with his freedom.

Those who don't know him might actually think he's Madara Uchiha, not Hashirama Senju.

But that doesn't make sense. Madara Uchiha is such an arrogant and domineering person, he doesn't seem like a goofball.

Could it be that the combination of interstitial cells and plaque cells is what caused my older brother to become like this?

Does that mean that the person who got the older brother's cells is actually a hidden goofball?

hiss~

The thought of Madara Uchiha possibly telling lame jokes with a straight face sent a chill down Tobirama Senju's spine.

The "power" of two cells combining is truly terrifying.

[Sasori's puppet form was actually quite powerful. He first used a physical fire-style fire-breathing technique, and then a physical water-style high-pressure water gun, but Sakura managed to defeat it in a one-for-one exchange.]

[It doesn't matter if he gets destroyed, as long as Scorpion's core isn't dead, he won't die suddenly.]

[Because the Third Kazekage's puppet was smashed and the iron sand became ineffective, Chiyo was able to continue using the mechanical hand and her parents' puppets.]

Having regained some of her strength, Chiyo even unleashed the secret technique of the first puppeteer, Monzaemon: the Chikamatsu Ten.

[Scorpion, not to be outdone, unleashed his self-created Crimson Secret Technique: Hundred Machine Manipulation.]

[Ten against a hundred, the scene was incredibly chaotic.]

"Can Scorpion control so many puppets at once?"

The Third Hokage was very surprised as he watched Sasori's hundred-puppet maneuver on the screen.

Chiyo's ability to control the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters is understandable; after all, a person has ten fingers, and one finger can control one puppet.

Although it is difficult, with Chiyo's abilities, it should not be a problem.

The scorpion part is really outrageous.

Even if you can't control a hundred puppets precisely, it's still outrageous enough.

"It can only be said that Sasori truly deserves to be called a genius puppeteer. In terms of puppetry alone, he has surpassed Chiyo, and perhaps even the first puppeteer, Monzaemon."

"Surpassing is certain. Modern people are not necessarily inferior to the ancients. The puppetry skills alone are enough to make Scorpion go down in history."

"I just don't know how Chiyo and Sakura managed to defeat Sasori, given the huge difference in the number of puppets."

Touching his chin, Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, shared a similar assessment with Hashirama Senju, believing that Sasori had an absolute advantage.

No matter how you look at it, Sasori's winning rate is much higher than Chiyo's and Sakura's.

"Didn't the screen say that Scorpion would hold back?"

Looking at Orochimaru, Jiraiya pointed at the light screen and retorted irritably, "You call this kind of intense battle 'holding back'?"

"Otherwise what?"

Orochimaru shrugged and continued, "When Sasori was controlling the Third Kazekage's puppets earlier, he didn't use the flexible and efficient Iron Sand Rain, but instead insisted on creating a bunch of clumsy iron sand geometric shapes. Wasn't that just holding back?"

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

"Hmm, what you said does make some sense."

Jiraiya thought about it and realized that Orochimaru did make some sense.

Abandoning the use of the massive Iron Sand Rain technique, he instead used the clumsy Iron Sand Geometry, and was thoroughly beaten by Sakura's monstrous strength inherited from Tsunade.

No one would believe it if we said it wasn't a case of leniency.

"What about here? We're fighting a hundred against ten, we can't just go easy on them again, can we?"

"Hehe, with your intelligence, it's hard for me to explain to you."

"Orochimaru, I think you don't want the research funding anymore."

"Heh, the wisdom of mortals? You think you can scare me with that?"

"Otherwise what?"

Orochimaru remained silent for a moment, then finally smiled and replied, "You have a good eye for people!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."

"Okay, don't be fooled by the fact that Scorpion has a hundred against ten. We all know that in a puppeteer's duel, the number of puppets is just an advantage, not a guarantee of victory. Ultimately, what puppeteers have to compete on is their control over their puppets."

"That's right, continue."

"I don't know how Sasori controls these hundred puppets, but I do know that his control over them is definitely not as strong as Chiyo's. Plus, Chiyo has Sakura, who has superhuman strength, assisting her. Even if they can't win, they won't lose in the short term."

Things turned out exactly as Orochimaru had predicted.

On the light screen, Chiyo controlled the Ten Puppet Masters, withstanding Sasori's attack from a hundred puppets.

[The ten puppets fought against ten opponents single-handedly. Chiyo, controlling three puppets, used her Three Treasures Absorption Technique to defeat several of Sasori's puppets. However, she was overwhelmed by Sasori's sheer numbers and died instantly.]

[Then Sasori got serious, using concentrated attacks to defeat Chiyo's ten members one by one.]

At this moment, Chiyo sealed a puppet to Sakura, intending to end the battle that way.

As expected, Sakura successfully sealed Sasori with her throwing technique.

However, Scorpion managed to move his core and escape unscathed.

[Scorpion possessed a fallen puppet, raised his sword, and prepared to temporarily disable Chiyo, but Sakura blocked the attack with her own body.]

Jiraiya: "So this is what you meant by Sasori holding back?"

Orochimaru: "Don't rush, just keep watching and you'll find out."
