Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 192 Machine Operation Demonstration

"Turn back?"

Scorpion repeated the word from Shisui's words with a puzzled look. Shisui nodded solemnly and clearly stated his conditions.

"That's right. Turning back means that if you are now willing to give up the forbidden art of making puppets from living people, and stop wantonly taking lives for your so-called 'art'... I will not kill you here."

The next moment, his tone turned incredibly sharp and cold. "However, if you choose to continue down this twisted path, persisting in filling your collection with the blood and lives of others... then I will show absolutely no mercy."

Scorpion's puppet-like face, indistinguishable from a living person, remained expressionless, coldly staring at Shisui.

Shisui's Sharingan was locked on Sasori, his mind highly focused—Sasori's next answer would directly determine whether he would subdue...or destroy.

This time, the leader, Menma, had other important matters to attend to, so he entrusted them with the task of recruiting, or rather, dealing with Sasori of the Red Sand. Before leaving, Menma had given them specific instructions.

"Sasori's pursuit of 'eternal art' is based on the sacrifice of countless innocent people. If he is willing to give up this path centered on killing and plunder, his puppetry skills may have other value... In that case, we can try to bring him back."

"However, if he remains obstinate and even takes pleasure in creating killing and suffering, believing that the lives of others are merely consumables for his art... then there is no need to waste any more words on such a person."

Take him down.

This is the ultimate price Scorpion has to pay for choosing "no turning back".

Of course, this cold-blooded decision is based on the premise that Scorpion is still a normal human being who can be "killed".

Although he didn't know where the leader's information came from or why he seemed to know so much about Sasori, Shisui was fully prepared and just waiting for Sasori to give him the final answer.

Suddenly! He moved! He swiftly manipulated the chakra threads, pulling out a specially made scroll from his back that he had never used before and throwing it into the air!

The scroll unfurled in mid-air with a whoosh, and the next moment, a chilling sight appeared—countless figures surged out of the scroll like a burst dam!

At the same time, the device on Sasori's chest opened, and countless dense blue chakra threads shot out from inside, like living tentacles, accurately and quickly connecting to each figure that rushed out of the scroll!

In an instant, the figures drifting in the sky almost blotted out the sun! There were at least a hundred of them!

Shisui, Deidara, Zabuza, and Haku stared at the nightmarish scene before them, their faces filled with unconcealed terror.

In the sky, hundreds of figures, each a uniquely shaped human puppet wielding different weapons, hovered in the air, lifelessly locking onto the four people below, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

This is Sasori's ultimate trump card: the forbidden technique of controlling a hundred puppets single-handedly.

Crimson Secret Technique: Hundred Machine Manipulation!

"You won't kill me?" Scorpion's voice came through the horde of puppets, carrying a cold mockery and unwavering confidence. "I've truly been thoroughly underestimated."

He controlled a massive puppet army, slowly explaining his ideology.

"Taboo? Living itself is nothing more than a slow and inevitable process of decay. Fragile, fleeting, and ultimately returning to dust."

"And I freed them from this inevitable fate, transforming them into eternal and immortal art, giving them an eternal meaning that transcends their fleeting lives! This is true compassion!"

"Your 'not killing' and your 'killing' are worthless to me, even laughable. My art needs no one's approval, and is not threatened by anyone!"

"Take a good look! My Crimson Secret Technique: Manipulation of a Hundred Puppet Master!"

"I'm completely different from when I was a kid... Now I'm as strong as a nation."

The situation reversed in an instant!

Just moments ago, it was Shisui, Deidara, Zabuza, and Haku besieging Sasori alone. In the blink of an eye, it has become the four of them facing an attack from hundreds of killing puppets that Sasori precisely controls, fearless of death and pain!

In other words...

Deidara stared at the despairing disparity in numbers before him. His initial surprise wasn't followed by fear, but rather a flash of understanding in his eyes. Since this guy had also transformed him into a puppet… then as long as he could seize the core device hidden in his chest, containing his true form, the battle would be over! Hmm!

Before setting off, Deidara obtained intelligence from the leader and grasped the key to completing the mission!

It looks like a huge free-for-all is about to begin! How exciting!

Deidara looked at the puppet army surging in like a tidal wave, but instead of retreating, his eyes burned with an even more intense fighting spirit.

The mouths on his hands greedily devoured the exploding clay again, but this time, the clay did not sculpt into birds or dragons, but instead turned into tough clay threads.

The next moment, these clay threads intertwined and coiled rapidly as if they had come to life, eventually forming two strangely shaped clay figurines!

They have no facial features, and their body lines are smooth and bizarre. This is a new technique that Deidara specially developed after learning about the puppeteer's fighting style!

Exploding Clay - Manipulation of Spirits!

To avoid large-scale explosions that could injure his melee teammates, Deidara decisively decided to switch to using these precisely controllable clay figures in battle!

On the other side, Shisui's hands had already become afterimages.

With a blur of motion, dozens of physical shadow clones identical to Shisui's original form instantly appeared on the battlefield! All of Shisui's clones—both the original and the clones—simultaneously drew the sharp short swords they carried on their backs!

The next moment, dozens of figures vanished like ghosts, charging headlong into the overwhelming puppet army with a terrifying speed that was impossible for the naked eye to catch!

With flashes of light, they instantly clashed with the puppet at the forefront!

Zabuza drew his long sword again with a fierce look in his eyes. The Hidden Mist Technique was clearly unusable in this situation… it seemed he could only rely on taijutsu and water release.

"Bai, stay close to me, don't stray too far!"

"Yes, Mr. Zabuza!" Haku immediately nodded in response, closely following Zabuza's side. At the same time, he quietly formed hand seals, and the temperature of the surrounding air began to drop rapidly at a visible speed. The biting cold spread out from him like a domain, and even the sand beneath his feet began to condense into tiny ice crystals!

Like interdependent fangs, the two charged together into the puppet frenzy, carrying a chilling aura and a resolute killing intent!
