Chapter 313 Kakashi vs. Sasori
Kakashi leaped onto the verdant treetops, his left hand unfurling the sealing scroll while his right hand formed the Tiger Seal. In the whistling mountain wind, the young Jonin's silver hair flew wildly, and thunderous chakra surged and rippled in his left palm.
"open!"
The moment the seal was broken, a giant net made of fine steel, carrying lightning, shot into the sky, and thousands of metal rings, pulled by iron chains, clanged and sprang out of the scroll.
Kakashi released the scroll and grabbed the end of the chain with his other hand. Dazzling lightning chakra spread wildly along the metal network, weaving a lightning cage that covered half the sky in the morning light.
"Just as Orochimaru's intelligence indicated." The joints of the Hiruko puppet creaked and groaned as Sasori peered through the observation hole at the silver figure, his tone laced with a hint of killing intent: "Hair as repulsive as in the photo."
The moment the giant bird suddenly dodged the electric net, the scorpion jumped off.
Seeing this, Yahiko sighed helplessly.
Kakashi's father killed Sasori's parents, and this hatred was hard to resolve. Yahiko couldn't bring himself to ask Sasori to forgive Kakashi, and could only sigh helplessly.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Nagato raised his right hand and used repulsive force to knock away the lightning net, and the giant bird flew over Kakashi's head.
Kakashi's path was blocked by Sasori.
"Your life ends here." Fei Liu Hu opened her mouth, which was filled with mechanisms, and a thousand poisoned needles turned into a torrential downpour of dark blue.
Kakashi immediately retreated, and upon landing on the ground, he saw Hiruko raise her arm, activate the mechanism in her arm, and shoot a row of cylinders towards Kakashi's head.
The cylinder contained poison needles, which were fired in all directions when it approached Kakashi.
Numerous cylinders worked together, firing poison needles that covered a large area. Kakashi, seeing no way to dodge, immediately pressed his hands to the ground.
"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"
A thick earthen wall rose from the ground, towering in front of Kakashi, blocking all the poison needles and obscuring Sasori's vision.
"Clone Technique!"
Kakashi left a clone behind as bait while his main body disappeared underground.
Boom!
The steel tail on Hiruko's back pierced through the earthen wall and swept horizontally, shattering the wall completely.
After the rubble fell, Sasori saw Kakashi's clone and manipulated Hiruko's tail to extend again, piercing directly through the clone's chest cavity.
When the clone dissipated, Scorpion showed no surprise. Instead, he took out a scroll and broke the seal.
Rasa and the Third Kazekage, who had been turned into human puppets, were released together.
After the Sand Village civil war ended, Sensuke, who became the Kazekage, handed over the two corpses to Sasori in order to win over the Akatsuki organization.
Chisuke was left with only a portion of flesh and blood.
Just then, the ground trembled slightly, and Kakashi's right hand, crackling with lightning, emerged from beneath Hiruko's feet, piercing towards Hiruko's heart.
But unexpectedly, Fei Liu Hu flew into the air.
Beneath Hiruko's feet was a swirling mass of iron sand, which carried her nimbly to a rock a dozen meters away from Kakashi.
Kakashi, whose sneak attack failed, saw Rasa and the Third Kazekage's puppets and knew that the upcoming battle would be extremely dangerous. His gaze sharpened, and his body began to emit faint electric sparks.
Stimulated by the lightning chakra, Kakashi's physical abilities were enhanced.
This method is not sustainable and has certain potential drawbacks, but we can't afford to worry about that now.
Seeing Kakashi's alert stance, Sasori said nothing, but simply used chakra threads to control Rasa and the Third Kazekage's puppets to begin their actions.
Luo Sha stood on the ground, raising his hands slightly upwards. The soil on the ground churned and was replaced by golden sand.
The gold dust swirled and sank deeper into the ground, forming a giant funnel that stretched towards Kakashi's feet, trying to pull him underground.
The Third Kazekage floated in mid-air, his hands forming a hand seal, manipulating iron sand to float in the air, forming a dark cloud that covered hundreds of meters in length and width.
Then, these iron sands coalesced into sharp short spears, all of which shot towards the space around Kakashi.
Kakashi had just torn off the gold dust from his foot and was preparing to use his speed to rush towards Sasori's main body when he saw this dense, rain-like attack from the sky, and there was really no space to dodge.
With a determined effort, Kakashi once again condensed Chidori and slammed it onto the gold dust beneath his feet.
A powerful bolt of lightning blasted a large crater in the gold dust, and Kakashi, his body crackling with lightning, plunged into the gold dust.
Kakashi had just infiltrated the gold dust when countless iron sand spears struck the spot where he had just stood.
Under the intense impact, black iron sand and yellow gold sand splashed against each other, forming a black and yellow storm.
“Using gold dust to defend against attacks is suicidal.”
Scorpion made a casual comment, then manipulated the Rasa puppet to use the Great Burial of Gold Sand, intending to crush Kakashi in the gold sand into powder.
"Um?!"
Unexpectedly, the gold dust on the ground suddenly collapsed, and a flat earthen wall rose from Kakashi's feet, lifting him out of the gold dust's embrace.
"Earth Escape: Earth Current City Wall!"
At the edge of the battlefield, ten shadow clones of Kyosuke used Earth Release to cause all of this.
"I almost missed it."
"Kakashi, let's fight together!"
Kyosuke's shadow clones appeared one after another, forming an encirclement and trapping Sasori in the center of the battlefield.
"Enemy reinforcements? No, these are all shadow clones. What a madman. He has no idea what kind of terror he is about to face."
Seeing Kyosuke's shadow clones around him, Sasori guessed what had happened and then manipulated the puppet to continue the attack.
The entire world was in an uproar. Countless gold and iron sands surged like waves in a storm, launching attacks in various forms on the ground, in the air, and in all directions.
Some were like an unstoppable torrent, some were formed from massive iron spikes and rods, and some were like hidden weapons flying everywhere—unpredictable yet extremely deadly.
Moved by Kyosuke's help, Kakashi's eyes welled up with tears, but he still managed to utter a rebuke in a voice only he could hear.
"Idiot, his mission is more important. Why waste so much chakra on me? Idiot."
Kakashi could tell that the two people on the giant bird were the enemy's real trump card, and also the enemies Kyosuke had to face.
At this critical moment, Kyosuke created numerous clones to help him, which made Kakashi feel somewhat guilty and worried about Kyosuke's condition.
"Next, I must fight with all my might and not let Kyosuke down!"
Kakashi, his body almost turning into lightning, charged directly towards Sasori's position, completely abandoning his defense and entrusting his safety to Kyosuke's shadow clones.
"Go! We'll cover you! Rasengan!"
Shadow clones surrounded Kakashi, smashing any obstacles that blocked his path.
Earth Release: Earth Flow River!
Several shadow clones created a large amount of soil, which they used to cover the gold dust and mixed it into the gold and iron dust on the ground, slowing down their speed and power, thus paving the way for Kakashi.
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Some shadow clones unleashed violent flames and gales, the flames like raging tornadoes, attacking Rasa and the Third Kazekage's puppets.
Similarly, some shadow clones directly attacked Sasori, or used chakra blades to try to sever the chakra threads that Sasori used to control his puppets.
With the help of his shadow clones, Kakashi made his way through lightning and thunder to reach Hiruko.
Just as Hiruko had destroyed two shadow clones with the poison needles she fired, Kakashi's Lightning Blade pierced Hiruko's heart.
Fei Liu Hu's body cracked inch by inch, and bolts of lightning shot out from within her body. With a thunderous roar, Fei Liu Hu was reduced to fragments.
The scorpion's main body leaped from the fragments into the air and landed on a clump of floating iron sand.
"Spiritual communication!"
Above the scorpion, a giant toad descended from the sky, about to crush it. The scorpion then took out another scroll.
As the seal was broken, a giant salamander that had been transformed into a puppet appeared.
This is Hanzo's summoned creature, which was also turned into a puppet by Sasori.
The salamander opened its huge mouth and swallowed the scorpion whole, then burrowed into the ground at an incredible speed.
The toad fell and created a large crater. Then, a triangular prism made of iron sand flew over and pierced the toad, which then disappeared.
After the brief but intense battle, Kyosuke's shadow clones had decreased significantly. Kakashi knew time was running out and was about to use Earth Release to force Sasori out from underground when he heard a reminder from Kyosuke's shadow clone beside him.
"Watch out, there's an enemy behind you with Sharingan. Don't look into his eyes!"
The newcomer was Uchiha Tekka. He was chasing after Yahiko and the others when he heard the commotion of the battle and came over to take a look. Then he started fighting Kyosuke's shadow clone at the edge of the battlefield.
Tetsuka dealt with one of Kyosuke's shadow clones. The ground beside him rose up, and a salamander puppet crawled out and opened its mouth wide. Sasori emerged from it.
"Do you need my help?" Tie Huo asked, but his voice was flat and lacked sincerity.
"Of course, you should kill your enemies with your own hands," Scorpion replied calmly.
Tetsuka suddenly frowned, activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, and said in an unhappy tone, "Orochimaru and his gang are really useless. The enemy reinforcements arrived so quickly!"
