"Your current posture is more in line with your real name, Centipede."
Kiyoshi remained calm.
An Lushan before me looked just like a spider with many legs.
"Such a quick tongue!"
An Lushan snorted coldly, and the gathered puppets surged toward him.
"Wind Release·Wind Blade!"
Kurenai Yuhi formed hand seals, concentrating her chakra at her slender fingertips to form a wind blade, and manipulated the wind pressure to transform the airflow into an invisible blade.
A gust of wind, sharp as a blade, sliced a group of puppets in half.
This was an A-rank ninjutsu that Kiyoshi taught her, and it displayed remarkable power as soon as it was used.
"King Kong Blockade!"
Golden chakra chains emerged from Karin's body, continuously binding the surging puppet soldiers.
"Thunder Release: Soft Boxer!"
Hinata seized the opportunity and unleashed a palm strike, turning the puppets into fragments amidst the wind and thunder.
Nohara Mio also unleashed a fire-style ninjutsu, burning the puppet soldier.
Kakashi and Might Guy, who were left behind, were not idle either, and each used their signature techniques.
Looking at the thousands of puppets, more than four hundred were destroyed in a short time.
An Lushan could no longer sit still.
These are all his team members!
Clay figurines, made by firing clay, possess greater defensive capabilities than wooden puppets.
After receiving the power of the dragon vein, these clay golems were further enhanced.
Even a single piece of furniture is very expensive to make.
We must not allow this destruction to continue!
"The power of the dragon vein is beyond your comprehension!"
An Lushan roared loudly.
All the parts on the destroyed clay golems emitted a pale purple light.
These parts were then continuously drawn to An Lushan's body and merged into a larger puppet.
An Lushan, in his spider form, was hidden inside a giant humanoid puppet.
"Rachel!"
Kakashi raised a pale blue arc of electricity, and the resulting speed struck An Lushan directly in the right chest cavity.
Unfortunately, An Lushan recovered completely a second later.
This is "Puppetization and Hyper-Fast Regeneration".
By using the power of the dragon vein chakra, the damaged parts are repaired through the regeneration of matter.
As long as the dragon vein's chakra remains, An Lushan can continuously use this power to repair it.
"Whoosh..."
Kakashi used "Raikiri" three times in a row, and seeing An Lushan recover in the blink of an eye, he felt exhausted.
"Fear me! Tremble with me! I will rule the five great nations!"
"This is the power of a puppet, kid!"
An Lushan delivered a standard villainous speech.
Basically, every movie boss has the ambition to unify the five great nations.
The purple chakra surrounding him grew increasingly intense, like cannonballs, wantonly destroying the surroundings.
boom!
One of the purple shells blasted towards Sara.
Sarah watched the purple light draw ever closer, and despair filled her heart.
This was a force she simply couldn't withstand.
The premature death of the previous queen meant that Sarah did not master much of the skill of controlling the dragon veins.
Furthermore, An Lushan deliberately cultivated Sara as an incompetent puppet, resulting in her mediocre strength over the past ten years.
"Water Release: Water Flow Mirror".
Suddenly, Kiyoshi appeared in front of Sara.
He stretched out his right hand, and Water Release chakra roared out, transforming into a swirling torrent.
Rumble!
Waves splashed everywhere.
However, this move successfully blocked the purple chakra projectile.
"Your Majesty, go and find the core of the dragon vein, and then seal it."
Qingsi said.
An Lushan made special modifications to the tower here, allowing these dragon veins to flow into his body in a particle-like form from the tower.
This is why An Lushan's chakra was inexhaustible.
"Don't think about it!"
An Lushan roared and grabbed at Qing Si and Sara.
Unfortunately, he only managed to pounce on empty air. Before the puppet's giant hand could reach out, Kiyoshi had already appeared in another location with Sara.
"I will help you block An Lushan, so go without worry."
Kiyoshi turned around, and golden "Sage Chakra" quickly formed a cloak.
The illusory golden snake shadows coiled behind Qing Si. With a wave of his hand, these golden snakes immediately wrapped around the giant puppet that An Lushan had transformed into.
"How is this possible? What kind of power is this?!"
An Lushan's eyes widened.
The mere amount of natural energy absorbed by the human body was enough to suppress him, who was using the Dragon Vein!
"The dragon vein is indeed powerful, but you are ultimately just a puppet with a limited amount of chakra to store."
Kiyoshi astutely pointed out An Lushan's shortcomings.
Therefore, the art of transforming the human body into a puppet is considered unorthodox and unsophisticated, and is not worthy of serious consideration.
It's tantamount to cutting off the possibility of further growth.
Otherwise, with Kiyoshi's current abilities, he could easily create the most precious puppet, just like his ninja sword, Black Scale.
But does this make sense?
How could a mere puppet, whether made of clay or metal, possibly compare to a human body that has been tempered and refined through countless trials?
As Sara receded into the distance, An Lushan began to feel anxious.
If Sara were to truly sever the source of the dragon vein, then his "Puppet Transformation - Super Speed Regeneration" would become unusable.
Faced with the offensive of Kiyoshi and his men, they would probably be defeated in just one wave.
"Stop looking down on others!"
An Lushan recklessly activated the dragon vein chakra, even though the puppet was at its limit.
He defied the obstruction and frantically chased after Sarah.
Once Sarah is killed, no one can sever the source of the dragon vein.
He will continue to be invincible.
He still has a chance!
"Let's come back."
Kiyoshi's right arm, the "Sage Cloak," transformed into a golden chakra snake head, baring its ferocious fangs and biting down hard on An Lushan's back, forcibly pulling him back from a distance.
"hateful."
An Lushan opened the puppet's giant mouth and spat out a large purple fireball.
Puppet Transformation: Dragon Vein Fireball!
"So even the fireballs powered by the dragon vein have turned into this? Interesting."
Kiyoki's eyes flashed with crimson Sharingan as he observed the purple fireball with great interest.
Immediately afterwards, Kiyoshi unleashed a golden, serpentine bolt of lightning.
Sage Art: Lightning Release: Great Serpent Lightning!
An Lushan's body was shattered by the attack.
After a rapid recovery, before he could even stand up, another bolt of lightning struck down.
Crack!
A dazzling flash of lightning illuminated the empty underground.
"Who is this man? That 'Sage Mode' looks so familiar..."
Nohara Mio frowned slightly.
This looks a bit like... Kiyoshi-nii.
But it doesn't match up now.
This is Loulan!
"Red Dog, don't you think something's strange?"
Nohara Mio looked up at Karin.
"There's a strange feeling of familiarity mixed with strangeness."
Karin nodded in deep agreement.
Seeing that the two were about to guess the correct answer, Hinata bit her lip and said:
"Don't think about these things now. Let's think about how to keep An Lushan occupied."
"really."
"Makes sense."
Nohara Mio and Karin nodded.
Continue using ninjutsu to block these small puppets and prevent them from merging with An Lushan's giant puppet, which could cause any trouble.
"Such a chakra level."
Kakashi looked at Kiyoshi with a hint of envy.
He is burdened by a Sharingan that he cannot turn off 24 hours a day.
When the body's kidneys are so weak, one can only unleash a few "Raikiri" attacks before exhausting all chakra.
However, Kiyoshi has been using ninjutsu from the beginning until now.
If it were an outsider, they would probably think Kiyoshi was a Jinchūriki!
"Kakashi, it's okay, you can still practice taijutsu!"
Green steam rose from Might Guy's body as he dealt with the small puppets while speaking to Kakashi.
"Kai, you have more chakra than me, right..."
Kakashi glanced at Might Guy.
Don't be fooled by Might Guy's seemingly taijutsu-based style; his chakra reserves are truly formidable.
