95 Chapter 95: Shocking Everyone
Protective Barrier!!
Sure enough, Michael, clad in a black cloak beside him, folded his hands.
The powerful Explosion Release fist of Gari slammed into the massive transparent barrier in front of Yu. The intense explosion shattered the ground beneath his feet, but it couldn't shake this seemingly fragile defense.
"So, the one I killed at the beginning was an Earth clone..."
"He truly deserves to be a skilled member of Iwagakure's explosive force..."
Staring at Gari's resentful expression through the enormous transparent Protective Barrier, despite facing such a fierce explosion so close, Yu didn't even blink.
Although the battlefield was cruel, relying on Michael's Barrier Fruit ability, which could isolate all attacks, Yu was completely confident in standing undefeated.
"It just so happens that I'm missing a puppet..."
"Instead of dying at the hands of Hiruko in the future, why not become my third masterpiece!!"
Speaking words that left Gari puzzled, watching the powerful Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai Ninja in front of him, Yu's lips curled slightly.
What?!
As Gari was trying to understand the meaning behind Yu's words, the smile that appeared on Yu's lips made him suddenly alert.
Barrier Impact!!
Indeed, under the manipulation of Parasitic Threads, Michael, beside Yu with hands folded, forcefully slammed!
Suddenly, the massive transparent barrier in front of Gari rushed towards him like a solid wall. Clearly not expecting that Yu's Protective Barrier could also be used for attacks, Gari, caught off guard, was sent flying!
"Damn it..."
Thrown into the air, Gari protected himself with both hands. However, he felt the tremendous impact of Michael's barrier, both in terms of hardness and force, unbelievably powerful.
Space Transfer!!
At the same time, another puppet, Tyrant, by Yu's side, didn't stay idle. Before Gari could react, Tyrant instantly propelled through the air, appearing right in front of him.
So fast!!
Barely stabilizing his own posture, Gari saw Tyrant instantly appearing in front of him, and his pupils contracted.
However, facing the bear paw raised by Tyrant, Gari had no choice but to grit his teeth and unleash a fist of Explosion Release with all his strength.
"Boom!!"
The immensely powerful explosion collided with the shockwave that repelled everything.
All the ninjas on the entire battlefield felt a pain in their eardrums, horrified to see the collision of the two powerful forces creating a visible ripple in the air.
"Damn it... What kind of power is this?!"
It seemed unimaginable that the puppet manipulated by Yu in front of them could unleash such terrifying power. Gari, who exerted all his strength in the Explosion Release fist, felt intense pain in his hands, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he was forcefully sent flying!
After all, this was the power of Tyrant, whose one palm could send a person flying to the other end of the world. Even with Gari's superhuman Taijutsu, he couldn't withstand a direct confrontation with it using the human body.
"Oh? Managed to block it..."
Seeing Gari sent flying but able to directly withstand Tyrant's power, a hint of surprise flashed in Yu's calm eyes.
To be fair, in the original work, Gari, as an elite Jonin from Iwagakure, was evaluated at Kage level. Although Gari's current strength hasn't reached Kage level in this period, he is still among the top Jonin.
With his exceptional Taijutsu and the unique Kekkei Genkai, Explosion Release, ordinary Jonin is simply not his match.
"Gari!!"
As the explosion dust settled, Kitsuchi, who was in battle nearby, was greatly surprised to see Gari, who had been exchanging blows with Yu, spitting blood and flying backward.
Not just him, no one present expected that Gari, an expert from Iwagakure's explosive force, would be sent flying by the eight or nine-year-old Yu in just one exchange.
"Are you so confident that you can focus on someone else's fight while facing both of us at the same time?"
"Isn't that a bit too arrogant... Kitsuchi?"
Seeing that Kitsuchi seemed to want to intervene and support Gari on the nearby battlefield, two figures swayed, and Akimichi Doto and Inuzuka Gaku joined forces to directly block his way.
"What a terrifying puppet... What kind of monster is this kid?"
"Why does he control puppets without using Chakra Threads?"
Thrown horizontally about ten meters and lying on the ground, Gari, looking at Tyrant and Michael manipulated by Yu, wore a face filled with astonishment and fear.
As an elite Jonin from Iwagakure, he had fought against ninjas from the Sand Village more than once, encountering some formidable puppet masters among them.
However, Gari admitted that he had never seen puppets as powerful and mysterious as Tyrant and Michael before him. Moreover, these puppets could move freely without the need for Chakra Threads to manipulate them.
"Lord Gari!!"
At this moment, seeing Gari unexpectedly losing in the battle against Yu, the Iwa ninjas on the surrounding battlefield rushed over to provide support.
"This guy is the third masterpiece I have my eye on..."
"I can't let you ruin my good fortune!"
Seeing a group of ninjas rushing over, Yu raised an eyebrow.
However, his hands remained in his pants pockets without any movement. Standing in the cruel battlefield where everyone fought for their lives, he remained calm, as if he were a spectator standing outside the fray.
Magnet Release: Iron Sand Lock!!
But Michael, manipulated by Parasitic Threads Manipulation, wasn't so polite.
Suddenly, Magnet Release Chakra, perfectly preserved on its body, activated, and countless black iron sands surged around its body.
In the blink of an eye, a needle-like protective circle formed in the air, like a hedgehog, guarding both itself and Yu within.
"This... Could it be the legendary Kekkei Genkai, Magnet Release, of the strongest Kazekage?"
Seeing Michael, manipulated by Yu, exhibiting the Magnet Release Ninjutsu rumored to have been lost for many years and once used by the 'Strongest Kazekage' Lord Third, all the ninjas on the battlefield were shocked.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
Before the Iwa ninjas rushing in could react, a series of muffled explosions resounded on the battlefield.
The rapid changes in Michael's Chakra caused a magnetic repulsion, and countless needle-like iron sands shot out like artillery shells in the air.
All the Iwa ninjas rushing in were turned into sieves before they could resist, as the poisoned iron sands instantly harvested their lives.
"Human puppet?!"
"You, actually dabbling in the Forbidden Jutsu of the Hidden Sand, turning living ninjas into puppets?!"
Everyone was shocked by the terrifying lethality of Yu's two puppets. However, at this moment, through the black cloak lifted by the explosive gust caused by Michael, Gari finally saw the true face hidden beneath Michael's hat, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
As the ultimate Jutsu in the Hidden Sand Village's Puppet Jutsu—Human Puppet Forbidden Jutsu could preserve the Chakra of a ninja while alive, allowing the use of all the target's ninjutsu, including Kekkei Genkai.
While the Human Puppet is undoubtedly incredibly powerful, it involves turning a person's corpse into a puppet. Therefore, even in the Wind Country, the birthplace of Puppet Jutsu, the Human Puppet Forbidden Jutsu has always been considered the forbidden technique among forbidden techniques. Ninjas regard it as a taboo existence.
