Outside Sasori's battlefield, where Neji was located.
"Neji, can you see how everyone else is doing?"
Might Guy's question came through Neji's radio.
Bang! Bang!
Neji and his clone's Gentle Fist collided. Hearing his sensei's words, he quickly created some distance.
His Byakugan opened.
His X-ray vision and long-range vision activated.
He saw through rivers and mountain walls, reaching Sasori's battlefield.
Hundreds of Chakra signatures shocked Neji.
However, he soon discovered that many of the Chakra signatures were connected by Chakra threads to the chest of a single figure.
The other person fighting him had a powerful Chakra signature.
There were also Sakura's Chakra and Granny Chiyo's.
"Sakura has used too much Chakra and is in a critical condition. Granny Chiyo rescued her.
Also, there seems to be a reinforcement fighting the Akatsuki enemy."
Neji reported the situation to his teammates.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After speaking, he clashed with his clone again.
Facing this clone with perfect replication abilities was too difficult to fight.
It could even replicate Bloodline Limit and Taijutsu, which was outrageous.
"Rotation."
The two Nejis collided.
"There's a reinforcement? That's great, but we also need to quickly deal with our clones to go help Sakura and Kakashi."
Might Guy's voice came through again.
"Mm..."
...Outside the battlefield, a head emerged from the ground.
"Sasori, that guy, he's really good at hiding!
He actually collected so many puppets. If he gave these Ninja to me, I could do a lot of things."
Zetsu drooled as he looked at the hundreds of puppets with secret Jutsu and Kekkei genkai.
If they really fought, even Pain would have a hard time dealing with them.
The main reason was that so many abilities were too targeted.
"But who exactly is this Jin? I've never heard of him. From his tone, is he a remnant of the country Sasori destroyed?"
Zetsu had explored the Ninja World for so many years and had never heard of such a person.
But judging from the opponent's Lightning Release, being able to scatter so many human puppets and fight Sasori to a standstill, he was a very strong guy.
If the opponent defeated Sasori, should he ask Pain to invite him to join the Akatsuki Organization?
Zetsu fell into thought.
However, he felt that relying solely on Lightning Release, it would be impossible to defeat hundreds of human puppets... Rumble!
The collision of lightning and fluctuations. The countless lightning bolts falling from the sky seemed to have hit something, suddenly returning to their original Chakra form, and then disappearing into the air after being too far from the Chakra.
"What kind of Kekkei genkai is this? It actually neutralized my Lightning Release.
It seems to be a method of assimilating deep-level particles and finally neutralizing them.
There are really a lot of Kekkei genkai in the Ninja World!"
Satoru sighed again. Even with so many clones and an intelligence network, there were still many things not within his intelligence scope.
The Ninja World was truly not small.
"However, this Shadow Clone's Chakra is almost depleted. Let's start the final move.
The rest will be up to Chiyo and Sakura."
Satoru looked at the recovering Chiyo and Sakura, then towards Sasori.
After this period of fighting, dozens of Sasori's puppets had already disappeared, and now only fifty-odd human puppets remained.
Sasori was indeed a one-of-a-kind genius in the puppet master world, able to retain human puppet Chakra through some secret Jutsu and use it for himself.
All he needed to consume was the amount of Chakra for controlling the Chakra threads.
The other puppets used the Chakra he had preserved.
Truly powerful puppet art.
After depleting these puppets of Sasori, it would be about time to hand it over to Sakura and the others.
This Shadow Clone was just one of his more than two hundred Shadow Clones. Even with the Limitless mode reducing consumption, it was almost depleted now.
"Playing a Lightning Release Ninja, with such a record, is already enough."
Satoru did not intend to use other methods. The use of Lightning Release plus natural energy was already enough to deal with Sasori.
The last Lightning Release Jutsu was just right for him to leave.
Anyway, he was just trying to correct the plot back on track. As long as there wasn't too much deviation, he could accept it.
He quickly formed hand seals.
In four seconds, he used over fifty seals.
"What a powerful Lightning Release Ninja. You are even more skilled than those brutes from the Hidden Cloud Village."
Sasori looked at the speed and complexity of the opponent's hand seals, knowing that the opponent was probably using a finishing move.
After praising him, he unrolled the last scroll behind him.
He had already thought in his heart that this might be his most satisfying work, even more satisfying than the Third Kazekage.
"Divine Lightning Palace."
"Eighteen Fighting Gods of the Devil."
Rumble!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
...Granny Chiyo's aged eyes suddenly became youthful. She quickly fled the battlefield with Sakura.
"What Jutsu is that?"
"It's probably some forbidden Jutsu from Sasori and that man."
The terrifying energy behind them left no doubt in their minds that if they were hit by the aftermath of the two, they might die there.
"Did Sasori go easy on us when he fought us before?" Chiyo was horrified.
She didn't expect Sasori could reach this level... "Oh, run!" Zetsu, hiding underground, saw the two in this state and broke out in a cold sweat. He used the Mayfly Jutsu to quickly escape the affected area.
He turned to look at the three hundred lightning balls, gathering immense energy, floating in the distant sky.
"Where did this guy come from? This move is comparable to that old man from the Earth Spider Clan, isn't it?"
Zetsu recalled when he was collecting information, the Gyōja of the Earth Spider Clan, who performed the forbidden Ninjutsu, Rage of Heaven. The feeling was not much different from what that blond-haired guy did this time.
Both were Ninjutsu that could destroy a Village.
And both were Sage Jutsu that used natural energy.
He really didn't expect such a strong guy to exist in the outside world. If he didn't die this time, he wondered if he could be invited to join the Akatsuki Organization... "What is that?"
Kakashi, Naruto, and the others were chasing Deidara when they suddenly felt an inexplicable terror.
They looked back and saw countless thunderclouds gathering in the direction of the Akatsuki Organization's base, with huge lightning balls surrounding the entire area.
Even from this far, they could feel the terror.
"Sakura... are they alright?" Naruto looked worried.
Even though he was relatively naive, he knew that if this attack was from an enemy, Sakura and the others would likely be in grave danger.
Kakashi quickly transmitted a radio signal: "Might Guy, what's happening?"
"Kakashi-sensei... Akatsuki Organization... enemy, is... reinforcement..."
Neji's voice slowly came through the radio.
Soon after, the signal was interrupted.
Kakashi didn't sense any tension in Neji's voice, even though the signal was intermittent.
"Naruto, continue chasing that guy. Sakura should be fine."
"What's going on?" Naruto asked, puzzled.
"Neji wasn't tense during the communication. Although his words were a bit unclear, we can deduce that someone is helping Sakura and the others fight Sasori. After all, Sasori is a puppet master; he couldn't possibly use this kind of Lightning Release."
Kakashi explained his deduction to him.
But who had the ability to perform such a Lightning Release?
He could only think of people from the Land of Lightning, and also the Land of Fire's Imperial Guard. They both possessed powerful Lightning Release secret Jutsu.
The Land of Lightning goes without saying. The Land of Fire's Imperial Guard, for example, mastered a powerful barrier forbidden Jutsu that could destroy a Village with a team of four.
