Chapter 791 - Battle Against the Puppet
If used well, the Uchiha Clansmen are sharp knives that can wreak havoc in not just Konoha, but in the entire Shinobi World. Just take the examples of Madara, Obito, Itachi, and Sasuke from Cannon!
And it seems that the master of this puppet understands this well, therefore, he came to the Uchiha Clan.
‘It seems that I need to deal with him as soon as possible, if he is allowed to do whatever he pleases, then the situation that I have managed to stabilize after so much effort will become chaotic again!’ thought Kuroto to himself as he released the seal on his wrist.
Even after noticing Kuroto’s small actions, the puppet didn’t take them seriously. It looked at Kuroto with a carefree expression and said, “Hyuga Kuroto, you made a big mistake when not only you refused my offer, but you even chose to make me your enemy. I am going to make you regret it!” then raised the right hand and exerted strong repulsive force on Kuroto, ‘Shinra Tensei!’
BOOM!
Accompanied by a loud explosion, Kuroto, and everything around him was blown away by the repulsive force.
After flying for several meters, Kuroto stabilized his figure and raised both his arms to shield himself from the offshoots.
Looking at the struggling figure of Kuroto, “Hahahaha!” – the puppet laughed in pleasure and said, “You should be familiar with this power. Uzumaki Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki Organization used this power to flatten Konoha on that night.” And added after a pause, “You are shocked, right? Hahaha… you are panicked, right? Maybe you are even regretting that you refused to serve me! But it’s too late…!”
Ignoring the puppet’s blabbering, Kuroto calmly looked at the surroundings and muttered thoughtfully, “As expected, this one is really weaker than the one on the moon.”
The reason he resisted the opponent’s ‘Shinra Tensei’ was not because he couldn’t dodge in time, rather, its to measure the strength of the other party’s Jutsu. He wanted to test how strong the repulsive force is in order to analyse the state of the Giant Tenseigan.
According to Kuroto’s analysis, the power of the Hyuga Clan’s Giant Tenseigan is inferior compared to the Giant Tenseigan of the Otsutsuki Clan.
But this is not surprising. After all, the Giant Tenseigan on the moon not only has the Tenseigan of Otsutsuki Hamura as the core, but it also has the Byakugan and the Chakra of all the Otsutsuki Clansmen on the moon, whereas, the Giant Tenseigan of the Hyuga Clan has only the Byakugan of at most a few hundred Hyuga Clansmen and the Chakra of the deceased members of the branch family.
The Otsutsuki were superior to the Hyuga in every way, so there is simply no comparison between the two Giant Tenseigan.
‘Even if this one is weaker, I still need to take it under my custody.’ Thought Kuroto as he tried to trace the location of the source of Chakra through which the puppet was being controlled, but he had to be disappointed, as he couldn’t trace a thing.
It seems that just like his own pair of Tenseigan and the Giant Tenseigan on the moon, finding the source through the puppet is not possible since the chakra is directly transmitted to the body.
The puppet or the master didn’t know that Kuroto had analyzed a lot of information within a few seconds, and continued to blabber, “It’s a pity… Even if you regret it now… even if you apologize to me… even if you beg… it won’t matter. I gave you one chance but you didn’t appreciate it, there won’t be seconds.”
Not paying attention to the puppet’s words, Kuroto thought to himself, ‘Looks like no other information can be obtained for the time being.’ and decided to end this farce here before they attracted unwanted attention.
The puppet continued, “But of course, you don’t have to worry as I don’t plan on killing you… at least not yet. I want you to watch with your eyes as I change everyt–…!” However, before it could finish, it was interrupted as Kuroto’s figure disappeared and reappeared in front of it and waved a sword that unknowingly appeared in his hand.
‘Damn, he is too fast!’ the puppet was taken aback. It subconsciously raised its arms to protect itself as it leaped backward.
However, the defense was of no use, under the sharp blade of Kuroto’s sword, the hands were easily cut off.
Having lost both hands, the puppet couldn’t maintain its balance as it landed on the ground and fell. The master of the puppet was angered and shouted, “Damn you Hyu–!”
Kuroto was indifferent to what the puppet wanted to say and disappeared from his position.
Feeling the surge of air behind him, the puppet’s words were once again cut off. The master of the puppet knew that Kuroto has appeared behind the puppet, and he wanted to use ‘Shinra Tensei’ to send Kuroto flying. Just as he prepared to exert the repulsive force, he suddenly realized that the connection with the lower body has disappeared.
Kacha!
The upper body was sent flying and collided with a large tree as the torso broke into countless parts. Now only the head was intact and rolled several times before stopping under Kuroto’s feet.
The head of the puppet saw Kuroto looking coldly at him and roared in shame and anger, “Hyuga Kuroto, don’t think this is over!”
Kuroto indifferently looked at the head as he slowly crushed it.
Although the other party has the support of Giant Tenseigan, however, the puppet itself is too weak and simple. No way the likes of these puppets can cause any trouble to someone like Kuroto who is strong, knowledgeable and highly experienced. To be honest, Kuroto can easily deal with hundreds of such puppets without needing to use even the Byakugan.
…
Somewhere in the Hyuga Clan
“How dare you!? How dare you?! Not just once, but twice…!” Aoki roared in anger as he used the Giant Tenseigan to control all the puppets he had hidden around Konoha.
Under Aoki’s control, hundreds of puppets that were hidden in every corner of Konoha stood up and rushed towards the outskirts of the Uchiha District. Aoki didn’t care about exposing the puppets to the people of Konoha, at this moment, he only wanted to kill Kuroto!
The arrogance and superior complex he had developed after obtaining the Giant Tenseigan have been trampled twice by Kuroto in a short while, he must immediately teach that bastard a lesson.
It didn’t take long for the puppets to arrive at the outskirts of Uchiha District and they surrounded Kuroto in a circle as they stretched out their arms and fired some sort of beams at him.
Feeling violent chakra fluctuations around him, Kuroto’s expression froze.
BOOM! Boom! Boom!
In the middle of the night, countless explosions resounded from the outskirts of the Uchiha districts and attracted the attention of Konoha shinobis.
The appearance of so many puppets had already attracted the attention of a lot of Konoha shinobi who were on patrol, and now the burst of explosions caused them to rush towards the sight of explosions.
Since the sight of the movement was closest to the Uchiha Clan, it was natural that they were the first to notice the movement. As soon as Patriarch Fugaku–who was on his way home–noticed the explosions, he immediately gathered a few members of the Konoha Military Police Force and rushed towards the outskirts of the Clan district in order to check the situation.
