This Danzo Is Weird!

Chapter 74: 74. The Chikamatsu Ten Puppets



As Tsunade's expression grew increasingly unnatural, Chiyo's suspicion solidified into certainty.

As one of the most renowned medical-nin in the shinobi world, Chiyo had seen countless warriors suffer from psychological trauma due to the horrors of war.

And among the most common battlefield disorders was—

Hemophobia!

Many shinobi developed this condition after witnessing extreme brutality or the tragic deaths of their loved ones.

Their fear of blood became so overwhelming that it crippled them in battle.

For a shinobi—whose very existence revolved around combat—this condition was devastating.

A confirmed case of hemophobia essentially meant the end of their career.

After all, blood was an inevitable presence on the battlefield.

No shinobi could escape it.

This realization filled Chiyo with excitement, but her years of combat experience prevented her from acting recklessly.

She decided to test her theory first.

Her chakra threads flicked out, latching onto a corpse on the battlefield.

Under Chiyo's precise control, the blood-soaked body suddenly lunged toward Tsunade at high speed!

Although Tsunade managed to dodge, the spray of blood from the corpse still splattered around her—

And her face turned even paler.

"Heh... Hehehe..."

Chiyo let out a low chuckle, her wrinkled face twisting with amusement.

"To think that the once-mighty Princess of Konoha—one of the legendary Sannin—has actually developed hemophobia."

Her certainty sent shockwaves through the Konoha shinobi nearby.

They refused to believe it at first—

But Tsunade's visible reaction made it impossible to deny.

Chiyo gracefully leapt down from the ruins, her two puppets hovering ominously at her sides as she advanced toward Tsunade.

And the legendary kunoichi could only watch as the enemy closed in.

"Tsunade," Chiyo said calmly, her aged voice carrying an air of superiority.

"I have great respect for your talent. If you surrender quietly, I might consider sparing your life."

Even though Suna had the upper hand against a hemophobic Tsunade—

It was always safer to secure victory through surrender rather than risk unnecessary resistance.

However, Tsunade responded with nothing but a cold, mocking scoff.

"Keep dreaming!"

Forcing herself to suppress her fear, she gritted her teeth, twisting her expression into a fearsome glare.

"Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me, Chiyo!"

But to Chiyo—

Tsunade's forced bravado was as laughable as a small dog baring its fangs.

"If that's your choice, then let's not waste time."

With a swift motion, she commanded her puppets forward!

The two figures burst forth with a speed far beyond that of ordinary puppets—

Racing toward the paralyzed Tsunade like shadows of death!

Her legs trembled, refusing to move.

At this critical moment—

Shisui and Kakashi finally arrived!

"Chidori!"

A streak of lightning tore through the battlefield, piercing straight through one of Chiyo's puppets with a screeching cry!

"Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Jutsu!"

A roaring fire dragon exploded forward, engulfing the other puppet in a raging inferno—

Reducing it to nothing but ashes!

Chiyo's aging eyes narrowed as she watched the two young warriors stand in front of Tsunade.

For a brief moment—

A flash of jealousy crossed her face.

Compared to the dwindling forces of Sunagakure, Konoha's young talent pool was overflowing!

"Talent is the key to a village's future…"

But in Sunagakure, the only notable young shinobi left were:

The recently appointed Kazekage, Rasa, who had been rushed into leadership out of necessity.

The Scorch Release user, Pakura, whose abilities were powerful but limited.

Beyond them—

There were no other young shinobi capable of leading Suna's future.

This thought filled Chiyo with deep unease.

But now was not the time for such concerns.

  She had one final duty—

To fight for Sunagakure while her body could still move, securing whatever leverage she could for the village.

That way, she could face her homeland with no regrets.

"Shizune! Take Lady Tsunade and retreat! We'll handle this!"

Kakashi's calm yet firm voice echoed from beneath his mask.

Shizune quickly supported the pale-faced Tsunade and nodded urgently.

"Understood!"

However, before they could make their move

Chiyo acted.

"Leaving? In front of me? That won't be so easy."

She slowly reached inside her wide sleeves and pulled out a white scroll.

As the scroll unfurled, ten intricate sealing formulas glowed across its surface.

"Now, let me show you the technique that made me famous—"

"White Secret Technique: The Chikamatsu Ten Puppets!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosive puffs of smoke erupted across the battlefield.

As the mist faded, ten white-clad puppets of various shapes and sizes stood ready for battle.

---

"Kakashi, Shisui, be careful!" Tsunade warned, her expression grave.

"These are the legendary ten puppets crafted by Monzaemon, the forefather of all puppet masters. It is said that this technique alone can annihilate an entire city!"

Shisui gripped his short sword tightly, exhaling softly.

"Just from the numbers alone, I can already tell this is going to be tough..."

---

"Marvel at my finest creations!"

Chiyo's ten fingers moved in perfect unison, each one controlling a separate puppet through chakra threads.

The puppets moved instantly, their precision and coordination resembling an elite military unit.

"Creak... Creak... Creak..."

The distinct mechanical sounds of the puppets filled the battlefield.

Each puppet was constructed from rare, high-quality materials, making them incredibly durable and formidably armed.

The moment they launched their attack—

The sheer pressure of their coordinated assault sent a wave of tension through the battlefield.

"Fall back!"

Kakashi barely managed to shout before—

One of the puppets raised its arm, releasing a torrent of flames directly toward him!

"Earth Style: Earth-Style Wall!"

Kakashi instantly countered, summoning a solid earth barrier to shield himself.

But before he could catch his breath—

Two more puppets flanked him from both sides, their hands crackling with lightning arcs, forming a deadly electrical cage around him.

Kakashi's Sharingan spun to life.

Using his enhanced perception, he narrowly evaded the electrified assault—

And in the next instant—

A blinding blue glow surged from his palm!

"Lightning Blade!"

His signature assassination technique propelled him like a bolt of lightning, cutting through the battlefield as he rushed toward Chiyo!

A puppet master's greatest weakness was their own body.

No matter how many puppets they controlled—

If the master fell, so did their creations.

But Chiyo—an experienced war veteran—had foreseen this strategy.

With a swift hand motion, she commanded the largest puppet, a hulking bull-headed warrior, to intercept.

However, Kakashi ignored it completely—

Just as he dashed past the massive puppet, seemingly evading it entirely—

Suddenly—

The puppet's back split open, releasing a dense web of iron chains that rushed toward Kakashi like a steel net!

Sensing the danger, Kakashi immediately abandoned his attack, flipping away just in time to dodge the entrapment.

Chiyo was relentless.

Before Kakashi could regain his footing, a hailstorm of poisoned senbon shot toward him!

Shisui, realizing the imminent danger, swiftly formed hand seals.

"Demonic Illusion: Clone Swarm!"

A dozen illusionary clones of Shisui materialized, all charging toward Chiyo in a synchronized attack.

But before they could close the distance—

The ground trembled violently.

From beyond the battlefield—

A massive wave of golden sand rushed in like a tidal force, obliterating everything in its path.
