Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Reinforcements and Reinforcements
From now on, it's no longer just a single blue beast!
Hearing Sasuke's statement, Guy's biggest feeling at the moment was... it seemed like he had a successor.
Although passing down the Eight Gates to Lee had already made him very satisfied, having such an outstanding disciple like Sasuke made him even prouder.
And Sasuke's words indeed acknowledged Guy as a teacher.
Even though Sasuke wasn't looking to learn techniques like Morning Peacock or Daytime Tiger, he still accepted Guy's goodwill.
"Hmph! A blue beast? It's nothing more than a technique that overloads the body!"
"The power it brings is only temporary!"
Chiyo, seemingly still displeased about Guy suddenly losing his combat ability, made no effort to hide her disdain for the Eight Gates technique.
Her comment not only made Guy slightly angry but also annoyed Kakashi and Sasuke.
Especially Sasuke.
"The power of the Eight Gates... An old hag like you could never understand it!"
"But don't worry. I'll make sure you feel it firsthand!"
With a glint of murderous intent in his eyes, Sasuke spoke.
"What you'll witness isn't just the power of the Eight Gates; you should feel honored for this!"
"You're the first enemy I'll face after mastering the Gate of Wonder!"
In an instant, an intense bloodlust emanated from Sasuke, lowering the surrounding temperature by several degrees, enough to make his breath visible in the cold air.
Chiyo felt an oppressive, eerie aura weighing heavily on her.
Even though fear crept into her heart, Chiyo refused to admit she was intimidated by the aura of a mere kid.
She suddenly exploded in rage...
"Very well, boy. Let me show you the might of Sunagakure's Puppet Technique!"
"No matter what gate you've opened, Puppet Techniques... are no less powerful than any forbidden jutsu!"
At that moment, Sasuke's voice echoed!
"Thunder Breathing!"
"First Form!"
Chiyo, hearing Sasuke mumbling something, paid it no mind.
Locking her eyes on Sasuke, she controlled two puppets with her chakra threads, sending them to flank Sasuke from both sides.
Puppet masters are tricky to deal with precisely because of these irritating puppets.
Not only can their attacks be unpredictable, but puppet masters can use chakra threads to manipulate the puppets, infuse them with chakra, unleash specific jutsus, or enhance their attack power.
Even if the puppets are damaged, the puppet master remains unscathed.
However... for puppet masters, if their puppets are destroyed, it's akin to losing their arms and legs.
And now...
Sasuke raised his head, opening his eyes.
His gaze locked onto the two puppets.
"Flash of Lightning... Double Strike!"
Zoom!
Suddenly, a piercing roar echoed as Sasuke's figure vanished.
A black lightning bolt appeared out of nowhere, piercing through the first puppet.
The father puppet exploded instantly, followed by another streak of lightning tearing through the mother puppet.
Both puppets shattered in an instant!
Boom! Boom!
Two consecutive explosions echoed.
Sasuke stood silently in front of Chiyo, his Kusanagi sword sheathed at his waist.
Standing less than two meters away, he gazed at Chiyo.
At this distance, for a puppet master, it was as good as death.
A puppet master allowing a ninja to get this close while their puppets are destroyed was equivalent to their demise.
Chiyo, still in shock, stared at Sasuke.
Earlier... she hadn't been able to react at all.
One word!
Speed!
Sasuke's speed was so fast she couldn't process it.
She didn't understand how Sasuke was this quick... This was the power of the Eight Gates.
With the seventh gate opened, Sasuke's speed was several times faster than when he had the sixth gate open.
At such speed, she had no time to react.
His strength was terrifyingly amplified.
One strike!
With just one strike... he effortlessly destroyed her puppets.
These two puppets had been specially prepared for Sasori, yet today they were so easily destroyed by Sasuke.
"Protect Lady Chiyo!"
The Sand ninja surrounded Chiyo in a protective formation, raising kunai and shurikens toward Sasuke.
Although these elite Sand ninja were carefully selected, to Sasuke, they were nothing more than minor obstacles, easily dealt with.
However, Sasuke didn't make a move.
Instead, he stared silently at Chiyo.
"How does it feel now? How's the power of the Eight Gates?"
Sasuke's expression clearly suggested, "If you think that's not enough, I can make you feel it even more."
Chiyo didn't know how to respond.
If she kept being stubborn, the next second, either she or the Sand ninja protecting her would be dead.
Watching Sasuke easily intimidate Chiyo, Kakashi murmured, "The power of the seventh gate, the Gate of Wonder, in Sasuke's hands seems even more terrifying than in Guy's!"
Hearing this, Guy, who was still receiving treatment, smiled.
"The Eight Gates combined with that strange ninjutsu seem to create a remarkable synergy!"
"The power of the gates is perfectly expressed through this technique, even more so than the taijutsu I developed!"
For a moment, Guy even felt as if the Eight Gates were made for this.
Just then, the sound of rustling came from the forest.
Sasuke frowned slightly.
The noise grew louder.
Countless footsteps echoed from all directions.
At that moment, Chiyo's face lit up with a smile.
"Finally, they've arrived!"
"Boy... weren't you so arrogant?"
"Now let's see how you escape this!"
A massive number of Sand ninja appeared from all directions, covering every visible space on the ground and in the trees.
Kakashi scanned the surroundings.
"Sunagakure secretly mobilized such a large number of ninja?"
Despite this overwhelming presence, Sasuke remained calm.
Facing a sea of Sand ninja, Sasuke looked in a particular direction.
"What's wrong? Still planning to watch? Aren't you going to come down and play with them?"
As he finished speaking...
Within three seconds, two figures suddenly appeared behind Sasuke.
"The fight just now was spectacular. To think taijutsu could be so powerful... truly surprising, Mr. Sasuke."
"Hmph!"
The two voices echoed.
Both Chiyo, Kakashi, Guy, and others were stunned.
There were allies... and in such a formation, they still dared to appear.
These two individuals... must also be extraordinary!
