Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 344: Ino vs. Sasori

"What are you looking at?" Sasori asked.

Ino answered very bluntly, "I'm looking to see if you're a man or a woman. Unfortunately, you don't have anything there."

Ino felt that using "it" to refer to Sasori was more appropriate. This person's dedication to art was truly terrifying. Not someone to be messed with!

Actually, she really wanted to ask Sasori if he had installed his own corpus cavernosum into the regeneration core on his chest that had the character "Scorpion" written on it.

The chakra a human puppet body could hold was ultimately limited, but Sasori could use the Performance of a Hundred Puppets, meaning his chakra amount was far greater than that of an ordinary ninja. If he didn't have the ability to change size, how could such a small flesh-and-blood regeneration core accommodate most of the chakra pathways?

However, it was ultimately inappropriate for a beautiful woman like her to ask this question, so she held back.

Sasori wasn't angry at all, his tone very calm. "Narrow-minded. I plan to only keep your body. Your head has no collection value."

"Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue? Oh, right, you don't have a tongue anymore, do you? Are you using a speaker to make sounds now?"

Sasori was re-acclimating to his real body, and Ino was using the opportunity to recover her chakra. The two used the verbal sparring to make their own preparations.

Ino's expression turned serious. She formed hand seals first, and a wood dragon soared into the sky, charging towards Sasori and his "people."

The Wood Human for defense, the Wood Dragon for offense, plus the surrounding Deep Forest Emergence—she was prepared to crush him fair and square!

Let's see who has more chakra! Her 10-point "Stamina" couldn't possibly be less than a regeneration core made from a corpus cavernosum, right?

Sasori controlled the two human puppets with both hands and charged towards the wood dragon.

Even under the personal control of a genius puppeteer like him, the performance of Orochimaru's human puppet was very average. The puppet's elbows rotated in the opposite direction, and the original arm bones turned into two sharp long blades, rapidly cutting at the branches on the surface of the wood dragon like a logger.

The Third Kazekage's ability was much stronger.

Sasori's five fingers moved up and down like playing a piano. The mechanism in the puppet's mouth opened, and light blue chakra controlled the surrounding metal according to magnetic lines. Soon, a dense barrier of iron sand, like countless long spears, descended from the sky, piercing the wood dragon's body.

"Magnet Release: Iron Sand World Method!"

The iron sand was incredibly sharp. In the blink of an eye, it had pierced hundreds of holes in the wood dragon's body and then tried to suppress the wood dragon with the weight of the metal.

"In your dreams!" Ino held up her hands. Comparing strength? Wood Release is the representative of brute force!

The wood dragon shook its head, its tail smashing a nearby stone house. The earth shook, and the tightly packed iron sand had its chakra absorbed, breaking into powder piece by piece.

Ino caught a glimpse of a black light from the corner of her eye and quickly controlled the Wood Human, slamming its right hand fiercely to the side.

The Orochimaru human puppet, holding a pitch-black sharp blade and preparing for a sneak attack, was smashed to pieces on the spot.

Ino didn't have Sasori's level of "micromanagement." She had to control both the Wood Dragon and the Wood Human, both of which were huge chakra consumers. She was a bit flustered, and Sasori seized an opportunity.

He used the time before the Iron Sand World Method completely shattered to create a huge iron sand cylinder with the Third Kazekage's chakra. This thing had extremely high density and was incredibly heavy. With a flick of the chakra threads, he controlled the cylinder to smash towards the Wood Human.

Ino's Wood Human's right hand had just smashed the Orochimaru human puppet, and now the giant cylinder was smashing over. She could only catch it with the Wood Human's left hand, while at the same time increasing her chakra output to let the Wood Dragon completely break free from the Iron Sand World Method's restraints.

With the Orochimaru human puppet shattered, Sasori's left hand no longer controlled a puppet. With a light sound of mechanisms, one of the four scrolls on his back was quickly activated.

A metal pipe emerged from the palm of his left hand. As scorching flames spewed out, a line of fire began to rage through the forest.

His flames were extremely hot and, after being regulated by the puppet body, also had some oil-like properties.

One burn covered a large area.

"It's just Fire Release. You seem to have forgotten that I am the top Water Release ninja of this generation!" Ino stood on the Wood Human's head and quickly formed hand seals.

"Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"

She took a deep breath, gathered water-nature chakra in her chest, and then spat it out fiercely.

She had never added points to her Water Release; instead, she had trained it up through her own ability.

She was full of confidence in her Water Release.

Even in the extremely dry desert environment, she could still create a large amount of water.

An overwhelming amount of water, like an ocean, carrying immense power, crashed down into the forest.

Sasori's expression didn't change. It's just Water Release, it's not like I haven't seen it before.

He controlled the Third Kazekage, using Magnet Release to tightly entangle the wood dragon, then raised his left hand high, the metal pipe in his palm spewing even more frantic flames.

Flames collided with water, and a large amount of steam rushed straight up into the sky like a pillar of air. Neither side backed down.

Waves of water poured down, and Sasori's flames also burned the water without stopping.

After a stalemate of five or six seconds, the Fire Release chakra stored in Sasori's scroll, the jutsu he named "Flaming Prison Attack," was suppressed by the Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave.

He had never expected to encounter such a powerful Water Release ninja. This was no worse than Kisame. Water Release counters Fire Release. Even though he had stored a lot of fire-nature chakra, it was severely countered at this moment.

The overwhelming water finally crashed down.

The trees were bent over, but more trees gained life force and grew again. Sasori's flames were completely extinguished. The water was endless, and he simply couldn't resist the impact of the surging water.

The wood dragon roared and, coordinating with the Water Release, opened its huge mouth, wanting to bite Sasori and the Third Kazekage to pieces together.

Sasori's situation was extremely critical.

At the critical moment, Yūra jumped out.

This Sand Village high-ranking official used two consecutive Wind Release ninjutsu against Ino.

She didn't even look. Against the combination of the Wood Human and the Wood Dragon, a Jounin of this level was just a free kill.

She couldn't be bothered with Yūra; she just had the Wood Human raise a hand, blocking the Wind Release like a natural chasm.

"Master, I'm here!" Yūra shouted, suddenly making a turn in his run and, as if feeding a snack, automatically jumped into the wood dragon's mouth.

What does this guy mean?

Before Ino could think, she heard a loud explosion from within the wood dragon.

The explosion caused the wood dragon to suffer heavy damage for the first time. A large amount of wood chips fell from its body. Ino quickly formed hand seals to maintain the wood dragon's body.

She looked from a distance and quickly made a judgment: it was explosive tags.

Yūra had tied hundreds, thousands of explosive tags to his body and severely damaged the wood dragon from the inside.

A sure-kill situation created by the combination of Water Release and the Wood Dragon was destroyed by Yūra. By the time the wood dragon recovered its body and attacked Sasori again, it was a step too late.

The Third Kazekage's human puppet, at the cost of having an arm bitten off, created a disk for Sasori to fly on, allowing them to escape the flood's impact at the last second and fly into the sky.
