Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 343: Wood Human Technique!

At this moment, both the Sand ninjas from Kōsa's and Yūra's factions stared blankly at the Third Kazekage.

The appearance of this human puppet hadn't actually changed much. Coupled with his iconic Magnet Release, the Sand ninjas all recognized the true identity of this human puppet. Their long-missing Kage, now appearing before them in this ghostly form, was a desecration to them.

The leader of a village, the strongest Kazekage, had now become this?

The surrounding plants were still growing wildly. Ino and Sasori exchanged more than ten blows. Seeing that she couldn't win in a short time, she used an Earth Release jutsu to go underground, then hid behind a tree, secretly observing Sasori's weaknesses.

The body of a human puppet doesn't get sick, is immune to much physical damage, immune to poison, and doesn't need to consider problems like hunger, thirst, or dopamine secretion. It might not reach the level of immortality and eternal health, but its lifespan was several times longer than that of a normal human.

Sasori's Hiruko was also exceptionally sturdy. Ino's vines had wrapped around it several times, only to be cut by Hiruko's sharp, knife-like scorpion tail.

Sasori released more than ten human puppets in red robes. These puppets held sharp blades and continuously hacked at the surrounding plants.

The Third Kazekage's human puppet watched intently, searching for Ino's traces in the dense forest.

Human puppets don't need to form hand seals. With a thought from Sasori, the regeneration core issued a command, and the human puppet's chakra split left and right. Dense iron sand covered more than half the battlefield, quickly pinpointing Ino's location.

"Found you."

With a flick of Sasori's finger, the mechanism on the Third Kazekage's left chest opened. The surrounding iron sand quickly gathered, soon forming a several-meter-long, triangular iron sand prism.

The iron sand prism was entirely black and incredibly heavy. Under magnetic control, it whistled through the air towards Ino's position.

Countless plants along the way were torn apart by the thick and sharp iron sand prism. Just as it was about to reach Ino, a giant, dark green arm appeared out of thin air and, as if grabbing a toy, seized the three-meter-long iron sand prism.

Ino maintained her hand seal, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. "Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

Her lv3 Wood Release and 10-point "Stamina" made using the Wood Human Technique a bit of a stretch. Like a primary Susanoo, her current chakra was only enough to create the upper half of a plant giant. The bottom? The bottom was gone!

Even with only the upper half, this was the Wood Human Technique, capable of withstanding a Tailed Beast Bomb.

At this moment, the Wood Human grabbed the iron sand prism created by the Third Kazekage with one hand, raised its arm, and threw it back with even greater force.

Sasori was somewhat surprised.

He naturally recognized the Wood Human Technique that the First Hokage had used to suppress the ninja world. The enemy before him was much stronger than expected.

Hiruko's defense was very high, but its mobility was extremely low.

Facing the iron sand prism thrown back like a shooting star, he had no time to dodge.

The Third Kazekage continuously used its Magnet Release ability, trying to interfere with the prism's flight path, but the Wood Human's strength was too great. The magnetic field only slightly deflected the prism, and the angle of deflection was extremely small.

More than ten red-robed human puppets formed a human wall to block it, but in the end, it was futile. They, along with Sasori's Hiruko, were smashed to pieces by the incredibly heavy iron sand prism!

With a loud "crack," the iron sand prism hit Hiruko head-on, like stepping on a cockroach. Ino pressed her advantage. She stood on the Wood Human's head, controlling the surrounding trees to grow wildly. Soon, the Wood Human had a bow and arrow in its hands. The Wood Human drew the bow, and in the next second, a giant wooden arrow shot towards Sasori's position with a powerful gust of wind.

With a loud "boom," the arrow pierced the ground, shaking the earth and mountains. The entire Sand Village shook twice.

Compared to Madara's two-hundred-meter-tall Susanoo, compared to Kakashi's one-hundred-and-eighty-meter-tall Susanoo, Ino's current twenty-meter-tall half-Wood Human looked truly shabby. But she couldn't help it; this was her current level. If you asked Yamato to do it, he couldn't even use the Wood Dragon Technique, let alone the Wood Human Technique.

Ino sensed Sasori's chakra. As expected, the guy was still alive. She continued to draw her bow and fire arrows.

Her sensory ability locked onto the target, and she fired another arrow.

This time, Sasori was prepared. He hadn't fought with his real body for many years, and he hadn't completely emerged from Hiruko yet. He quickly controlled the Third Kazekage to form an incredibly thick iron sand shield in front of him.

After piercing the iron sand shield, the wooden arrow lost its power. Ino gathered her chakra again, controlled the Wood Human, and fired another arrow.

The Sand ninjas on the periphery were all stunned. What was this thunderous noise in the village? What was that tall humanoid creature? All sorts of rumors spread.

Some said the Konoha ninjas had launched a major invasion; some said the Third Kazekage had turned into a vengeful ghost. The villagers, who were already being chased around by the "madmen," fell into a state of panic.

Let alone having no one to command them, even if there was someone, it would be useless now.

After three arrows, Ino felt a huge drain on her chakra, almost a ten percent consumption per arrow. She stood on the Wood Human's head, and the recovery ability of her primary Sage Body began to work, rapidly restoring her spent chakra.

"What an amazing Kekkei Genkai. I want to collect your body," Sasori's real body emerged from Hiruko. His face was handsome, like a sunny boy-next-door.

But if you looked closely, you would find that his eyes, face, and even the muscles on his body were stiff. His body had long been dead; it was now a veritable shell.

The Third Kazekage's human puppet guarded his left, and Orochimaru's human puppet guarded his right. On the ground, besides the wreckage of Hiruko, there were also dozens of shattered red-robed human puppets. His Performance of a Hundred Puppets was half-scrapped.

These human puppets were all shattered by the Wood Human's immense strength. Repair them? They could definitely be repaired if he wanted to, but he didn't have time to fix them now.

"Why bother? You can't beat me at all. You go back to your Akatsuki, and I'll go back to my Konoha. How about it?" Ino didn't particularly want to fight Sasori to the death here; it was meaningless.

"I must have your body for my collection!" Sasori no longer had emotions like anger, but seeing his many precious collections and the Hiruko he had used for years shattered, that sense of loss still made him hate Ino to death.

You don't understand art at all! All you know is to smash things with a big wooden stake!

Ino was also a little annoyed. "Who's collecting whom is not yet certain, grandson! Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your grandmother!"

This guy was greedy, taking two of everything when others only took one.

Hiruko wore one Akatsuki cloak, and his real body inside also wore one. At this time, the cloak was quite torn. Sasori ripped it apart, revealing a tightly structured puppet body, with only a pair of dark blue long pants left.

From the silhouette, there was really nothing down there. It was cut very cleanly!
