Chapter 342: The Third Kazekage's Human Puppet

In the blink of an eye, Ino used the Flying Thunder God Technique twice in a row to rescue Kankurō from the heavy encirclement.

If it weren't for Choji as a human shield, she would not dare to use the Flying Thunder God in battle. With her current nerve reaction speed, using this technique was like dancing on the edge of a knife. Use it once and be dizzy for two seconds? It was too dangerous.

"Thanks," Kankurō was covered in injuries but was still conscious. He expressed his gratitude for her rescue.

Handing this guy over to the doting sister Temari to carry, Ino placed her left hand on Temari's shoulder and her right hand on Choji's shoulder, preparing to use the Flying Thunder God to find Shikamaru.

"Huh?" The originally clear spatial positioning suddenly became blurry.

Space-time ninjutsu has very strict requirements for positioning. Forcibly using it when the positioning is not clear enough would result in death.

What is interfering with the positioning?

Ino followed the sensation and saw five light blue chakra threads emerge from Hiruko's right fingers. The other end of the threads was connected to Sasori's prized possession, the human puppet made from the Third Kazekage!

The human puppet, wearing a worn-out robe, with a stiff body and a "kaka" sound coming from its chin, was the former Third Kazekage. This Kage was hailed by the ninja world as the strongest Kazekage in history. At this moment, the human puppet was being controlled by Sasori, gathering the Magnet Release chakra in its body and spraying out countless fine iron sands in all directions.

These iron sands, carrying Magnet Release chakra, interfered with a part of the magnetic field, causing a significant deviation in Ino's spatial positioning.

Minato might have been able to use his rich experience to correct it, but she, a novice, should just forget it.

"Let's see where you can run," Sasori's voice came from within Hiruko, gloomy and with obvious malice.

The Flying Thunder God is a ninjutsu. As long as it's a ninjutsu, it has flaws and ways to be countered.

The Fourth Hokage brought the Flying Thunder God Technique to its peak, but he was not the creator of this technique. The one who researched and developed the Flying Thunder God Technique was the Second Hokage.

The Second Hokage used the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Reanimation Jutsu to withstand the repeated attacks of the four great hidden villages. The four great hidden villages naturally did a lot of research.

In the original timeline, during the Fourth Great Ninja War, facing Kabuto's Reanimation Jutsu army, the five great hidden villages produced a large number of sealing tags, sealing formulas, and sealing cloths. Where did these come from? Were they made on the spot? No, these were all prepared back then to deal with the Second Hokage.

Putting aside things like the Planetary Devastation, during the first three Great Ninja Wars, collective wisdom was still useful.

Reanimation Jutsu could be sealed, and the Flying Thunder God could also be countered.

The reason the Second Hokage let Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzō Shimura, and the others escape while he stayed behind was one, he was seriously injured and his life was coming to an end, and two, the Flying Thunder God Technique was being countered, and he couldn't position himself remotely.

The Second Hokage had told Ino about these things when he was teaching her. She hadn't expected that she hadn't even mastered the Flying Thunder God yet, and the counter had already arrived, and so quickly!

It was hard to say whether this guy Sasori was smart or stupid. He used his trump card just like that, and in front of a large group of Sand ninjas.

The iron sand around them was increasing.

A dense rain of poison needles spat out from Hiruko's mouth.

Temari swung her three-star fan so fast it was airtight. Facing so many poison needles, Choji still wanted to charge forward. Ino quickly pulled him back. Are you a wild boar? You're still charging at this? Don't you want to live?

Sasori blocked their way, and the Sand ninjas were pursuing from behind. The few of them were caught in the middle, and the situation was quite critical.

"You guys go first, I'll hold them off." Ino nodded to Choji, indicating that she was confident and not courting death.

The fat boy's breathing rhythm was about to fail. He had already dropped from "four breaths" to "two breaths." The fat he had accumulated over the years was nearly depleted. His face was covered in sweat, and it was clear he was very tired.

"I'll catch up after I deal with this puppet user."

Ino stared at Sasori and quickly formed hand seals. "Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

As Yang Release chakra was injected into the ground, countless trees sprang up. The brick-and-stone houses were instantly covered by innumerable vines, and trees as thick as bowls grew rapidly, soon turning the area into a sea of plants.

Sasori, who was originally curious about her Flying Thunder God Technique, was stunned. What the hell? It's actually a Wood Release user?

Seeing Ino's blond hair and bangs, he felt she looked a bit familiar. Didn't my little brother have the same look?

His interest in Ino greatly increased. If a ninja with a Kekkei Genkai like this were made into a human puppet, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

Temari, single-mindedly focused on being a doting sister, bit her lip. "If I'm not mistaken, that's the Third Kazekage. He… he used Magnet Release when he was alive. Be careful."

"Got it."

Ino used the trees to forcefully push Sasori and the Third Kazekage aside. Choji cleared the way in front, and Temari, carrying Kankurō, the three of them rushed out through the gaps between the trees.

More Sand ninjas were blocked by the dense trees.

The originally orderly, desert-style village instantly turned into a sea of trees.

Sasori didn't even look at Choji and the other two; he stared intently at Ino.

Numerous iron sands drilled out from the gaps between the trees, pouncing towards Ino's position from all directions.

The iron sand was controlled by the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release chakra. Wood Release could absorb the chakra within it.

But the quantity of this thing was too large, and the volume of the iron sand was too small. Wood Release was never a refined ninjutsu from beginning to end. The Deep Forest Emergence made most of the iron sand lose its magnetism, but a small part still passed through the encirclement.

"Become my collection!" Sasori said with full malice.

Ino sneered. "Just you?"

A wood clone was left in place, and she used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge far away, causing the numerous iron sands to hit empty space.

The Third Kazekage's right hand turned into a sharp blade and slashed at her throat. She held her short sword in a reverse grip and, imbued with Water Release chakra, parried with force. The human puppet's strength was great, and its blade was coated with deadly poison. Ino was at a disadvantage in strength. She formed a one-handed seal for Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere to force back the human puppet.

Before she could catch her breath, Hiruko's scorpion tail stabbed at her from a strange angle like an arrow. Ino waved her hand, and seven or eight vines wrapped around the scorpion tail. Hiruko did a tail whip, cutting the vines with the blades on both sides of its tail. Ino seized the gap as he was cutting, and a light blue Giant Rasengan appeared in her palm. She slammed it into Hiruko's side. Sasori then controlled the Third Kazekage to condense an iron sand spear and thrust it at her heart. She quickly dodged with the Body Flicker Technique.

Wood Release, Rasengan, advanced Body Flicker, Wind Release, Magnet Release, one-handed seals, human puppet control—in just a few rounds, the two had used all their tricks, both wanting to resolve the enemy in the shortest possible time.

If Ino wanted to break through the magnetic interference of the Magnet Release, she had to destroy the Third Kazekage. When she attacked the Third Kazekage, Sasori would assist from the side. When she attacked Sasori, the controller, the Third Kazekage would recklessly use various Magnet Release ninjutsu. This combination was much stronger than Ino had expected.
