Naruto: Swarm System

Swish!

From within Pakura's Scorch Release fireball, a black sphere composed of puppets flew out, landing on the distant sandy ground.

Crash!

As soon as the black sphere hit the ground, it shattered into many fragments, revealing the figure of Sasori of the Red Sand.

Sasori emerged from the pile of fragments, looking up at Pakura in the sky, muttering to himself, "What a miscalculation. I didn't expect you to be this strong now."

In Sasori's information, Pakura's strength was still at the level of an elite Jōnin. Upon hearing that she was about to become the Fifth Kazekage, he assumed she had reached Kage-level strength.

However, Sasori had still underestimated Pakura's current power, resulting in him being caught off guard and having his Hyakki no Sōen (Performance of a Hundred Puppets) wiped out instantly by her enormous fireball.

He had been careless.

Thinking this, Sasori flicked his fingers, retrieving a scroll marked with the word 'Release' from the five empty scrolls on his back.

Bang!

Five white smoke clouds erupted, revealing five human puppets with the characters for 'Wind, Fire, Thunder, Water, and Earth' engraved on their foreheads, appearing in front of Sasori.

Sasori patted the head of the female puppet marked with 'Water' beside him and said faintly, "Miss Pakura, let's see whose ninjutsu is stronger."

These five human puppets were designed by Sasori based on Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear ability, capable of maximizing the power of combined elemental ninjutsu.

Each of these puppets was originally made from highly skilled rogue ninjas, and before turning them into human puppets, Sasori had carefully cultivated them, even transplanting some of Hashirama's cells into them.

Therefore, the power of these five elemental ninjutsu human puppets was far stronger than Kakuzu's.

Pakura looked at the five human puppets in front of Sasori and frowned slightly.

Then, she raised her hand towards Sasori, summoning dozens of Scorch Release fireballs that flew towards the five human puppets, trailing long tails of flame.

Sasori flicked his finger, and the female puppet marked with 'Water' quickly formed hand seals.

Water Release: Water Severing Wave!

A highly pressurized water jet shot out from the female puppet's mouth, slicing through Pakura's Scorch Release fireballs and extinguishing them all.

Then, the high-pressure water jet adjusted its direction, shooting straight towards Pakura standing on the ink hawk in mid-air.

"Hmph, want to have a ninjutsu showdown with me?"

Pakura sneered, maneuvering the ink hawk to dodge swiftly.

The next moment, hundreds of Scorch Release fireballs dropped from Pakura's ink hawk, densely packed and overwhelming, bombarding Sasori's surroundings and forcing him to halt his attack and focus on defense.

Watching the dense array of Scorch Release fireballs in the sky, the villagers of the Sand Village were all in awe.

"Tsk tsk, this is practically an allied bombing raid," Shishou muttered, amused as he watched Pakura, utilizing her flight advantage, bombard Sasori continuously from high above.

"What did you say?" Temari, beside Shishou, looked at him in confusion.

Shishou shrugged, "I said that woman is very strong."

Temari glared at him and said, "She's over ten years older than you. Don't even think about chasing after her!"

Knowing Shishou's flirtatious nature, Temari felt she needed to keep a close watch on him.

Hearing this, Shishou couldn't help but laugh and said, "I won't, I won't."

Why would I chase her when she's already my woman? Shishou thought to himself.

"That's good," Temari said with a satisfied smile, hugging Shishou's arm as if declaring her ownership.

On the battlefield.

Sasori, looking at the sky filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of Scorch Release fireballs, kept using the five elemental puppets for defense.

He hadn't expected that even after using his puppets to fight five against one, he would still be surrounded by Pakura's Scorch Release.

This won't do.

Thinking this, Sasori pulled on his right hand, causing the Wind and Water puppets in front of him to disassemble and then reassemble into a strange two-headed puppet.

This was inspired by the improvements he made to Nagato's Asura Path.

The next second, the mouths of the two-headed puppet opened, combining Wind and Water Releases.

Combination Ninjutsu: Wind and Water Severing Wave!

Several jets thicker than the Water Severing Wave shot out from the two-headed puppet, like lasers, sweeping through the Scorch Release fireballs Pakura had placed in mid-air.

Meanwhile, the other three puppets, Thunder, Fire, and Earth, also fused together, launching various powerful ninjutsu to quickly clear the remaining Scorch Release fireballs.

"What kind of technique is this..." Granny Chiyo, watching from afar, was instantly stunned.

Pakura, in the sky, frowned upon seeing this, forming a hand seal and activating her Curse Mark mode once again.

Curse Mark Mode: Activate!

As the Curse Mark activated, dense black seals appeared on Pakura's body.

The next second, countless small Scorch Release fireballs appeared around Pakura, quickly merging into a single pure white fireball emitting a dazzling white light.

Sasori frowned, sensing the terrifying amount of chakra contained in Pakura's fireball.

Thinking this, he quickly moved his hands, dispersing the five human puppets into fragments, then merging them into a strange puppet with five heads.

Pakura flicked her finger, sending the white fireball from her fingertips, trailing a white tail of flame, towards Sasori's position.

Sage Art: White Scorch Ball!

Sasori's fingers moved rapidly, and a massive energy ball formed in front of the five-headed puppet.

Puppet Technique: Five-Element Fusion: Ultimate Strike!

Combining the chakra from the five puppets, Sasori created a red and yellow chakra sphere, rushing towards Pakura's white Scorch Release fireball.

Boom!!!

The two energy masses collided, instantly unleashing a powerful shockwave, kicking up a massive sandstorm that swept in all directions.

Shishou turned and hugged Temari, shielding her from the impact of the sandstorm.

On the other side, Granny Chiyo and the others quickly used defensive ninjutsu to block the shockwave.

Those Sand Village ninjas who couldn't react in time were blown away, crashing heavily to the ground with serious injuries.

Once the explosion's impact dissipated, everyone turned their attention back to the battlefield between Pakura and Sasori.

Standing unscathed, Sasori manipulated his five-headed puppet, looking up at Pakura and saying:

"Miss Pakura, it seems that move of yours wasn't all that impressive. If that's your best, then you're sure to lose."

The sheer power of Pakura's last attack had used up a significant amount of chakra, Sasori concluded she couldn't use it many times.

"Is that so," Pakura said calmly, hands clasped together, standing on the ink hawk.

The next second, Pakura separated her hands.

Between her palms floated ten pure white Scorch Release fireballs identical to the last one.

If one Scorch Release fireball couldn't defeat Sasori, then she would use ten, a hundred!
