Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 698: A Good Plan, but Useless!

On the Battlefield

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Repeated sounds of sharp metallic weapons colliding against each other reverberated on the battlefield as sparks flew and painful wailing sounds echoed from time to time.

At this moment, Sasori’s puppet–the puppet from the Kaguya Clan–was like a dancer, moving on the symphony of the battlefield, and fighting against the Konoha Anbu. The sharp blades of bones protruding from its body were akin to the scythe of Shinigami, mercilessly reaping away the lives of Konoha Anbu.

It turns out that Sasori’s newly developed Puppet Technique is extremely scary, now he no longer needs to control his puppets using the Chakra threads as used to, this not only grants him better control over the puppets overall, and increases the flexibility and maneuverability of the puppets, it also makes his attacks completely unpredictable since there is no movement of his fingers!

As such, within a few minutes since the battle broke out between the Konoha Anbu and the Akatsuki Organization, Sasori’s puppet was already able to reap the life of several enemy shinobi.

Moreover, since Kakashi was entangled with ‘Madara’ and Weasel(Itachi) was trying to stop Tobi, there was no one left among the Konoha Anbu who could fight evenly against Sasori and his puppets, making the situation all the worse for Konoha!

Whoosh!

Slash!

With a fast body flicker, the puppet appeared in front of Akame (Kurenai), and without giving her any opportunity to dodge, defend, or fight back it slashed down both the Bone Swords, cutting down her body in four parts.

Poof!

The expected splatter of blood did not happen, instead, the moment her body was cut down by the two swords, it burst into a cloud of white smoke clearly indicating that until now, the one fighting on the battlefield was actually a Shadow Clone of her.

The moment the shadow clone was destroyed, the real Akame quietly appeared behind Sasori and fiercely stabbed her Kunai at him.

Ding!

However, instead of cutting through his skin and piercing his heart, the Kunai was struck to a hard surface, and her hand was also caught by him.

“Damn it!” she cursed under her breath, and tried to break free but couldn’t even budge.

While she was putting futile struggle Sasori’s head turned one eighty degrees, he looked at her mockingly, and said, “Nice try… but it won’t be so easy.” Then without giving her any opportunity to react, he snatched the Kunai from her hand and used it to stab her stomach as he fiercely kicked her in the gut and threw her back.

Under the monstrous power of the kick, Akame was thrown out and fell to the ground. Somehow she did manage to get up, but soon coughed out blood and started to feel dizzy.

After dealing with Akame, Sasori jumped on the Hiruko’s summon beast and looked at all the injured and dying Konoha Anbu with a smirk, “Everyone… how did it feel to fight against my puppet? I may have forgotten to introduce you lot about the identity of this puppet, he is the former Patriarch of the Kaguya Clan, isn’t his Shikotsumyaku just the perfect.”

Akame wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and taunted, “Humph, don’t act complacent, compared to Fujin of the Amatsukami Organization, his Shikotsumyaku is simply trash…!”

In Akame’s eyes, Fujin could even cut through the Susano’o with his bone blade, but this guy, he can’t even easily cut through a Kunai or Sword let alone Susano’o, so in comparison to Fujin, it’s Shikotsumyaku is nothing at all!

Sasori’s face turned cold at the mention of Amatsukami, “You seem to have a death wish!”

Akame wasn’t afraid, “Do what you will, you don’t scare me! No matter how proud you are of your puppets when put in front of a stronger shinobi, they can do nothing more than buy you some time while you people hide your tail in between your legs and run away. In the first place, you people of the Akatsuki Organization are only criminals and terrorists who only dare to fight those who are weaker than you and only cause destruction, when faced with anyone on the same level or stronger, you people get scared and run away… If you were to encounter the members of the Amatsukami Organization, you wouldn’t be barking so much as you are doing now!”

Sasori narrowed his eyes, his uncontrollable murderous intent bursting out.

Just as Sasori was about to put an end to Akame’s life, suddenly a sword slashed from behind him.

Slash!

Following the slash, Sasori’s body was divided into two parts, and soon its parts scattered all over the place.

“Was this his real body or just a puppet body?” muttered Rabbit(Hayate) with a solemn expression as he released his invisibility and revealed his body on the back of the Summon Beast.

“Tch… so all that turned out to be useless!” Akame clicked her tongue in annoyance. Obviously, the reason she was taunting and attracting Sasori’s anger and attention to herself was to give Rabbit the opportunity to succeed in the sneak attack.

Even if she is injured and facing a powerful enemy, Akame is very clear that this battle will only be won if the puppet master is defeated, so instead of entangling the puppet, she devised the plan to attract the attention of the rest of the Anbu and create an opportunity for Rabbit to kill him with a sneak attack.

But seeing that there was no core among the scattered parts, this obviously means that the one she was talking to up until now was also nothing more than a puppet.

Clap! Clap!

At this moment, another Sasori appeared in front of everyone from behind a tree and applaud everyone with a mocking smirk, “I suppose that I can at least compliment your efforts, although useless on me, your plan was good, at least, Konoha Anbus aren’t as disappointing and useless as the Suna Anbus, but then again, you are all a bunch of trash anyway, so it doesn’t matter. And one more thing, your strategy, it was too outdated…!” and said these words while shifting his gaze in the direction of Rabbit.

“Not good.” As soon as he saw Sasori looking in his direction, Rabbit subconsciously felt the danger. Without any hesitation, he immediately activated the ‘Transparent Escape Technique!’ and tried to hide from the other party.

However, before he could completely disappear, an ice needle pierced through his abdomen from behind.

The moment the ice needle pierced through him, his body was stunned as if freezing internally, even the ‘Transparent Escape Technique’ was interrupted.

Panicked Rabbit looked behind, only to find another puppet, this time with black hair, looking at him indifferently with its lifeless eyes.
