Final Puppet

After Rasa's death, the golden cube lost the restraints of the magnetic element. The golden placer cube and golden placer shield collapsed, burying Rasa's body. The large wave of placer gold not far ahead also turned into scattered pools of placer gold.

Shintaro didn't stop at this scene. Although Rasa was dead, he still wanted to cover up the true cause of death.

"Cursed Technique Lapse: Maximum Output—Blue."

A large blue sphere formed in the air, releasing a strong outward suction force. The first thing it naturally attracted was the scattered placer gold on the ground. Countless placer gold flew into the air, wrapping around [Blue], forming a large golden sphere that grew bigger and bigger.

And Rasa's body, buried deep inside the golden ball, was crushed beyond recognition. In the end, all the placer gold was sucked into one, forming a large golden ball, with the placer gold inside already turned into slag.

"A golden burial is indeed a luxurious funeral."

Shintaro withdrew his hand, and the large, heavy golden ball fell, forcefully damaging the ground. He clapped his hands and said, "Another one solved."

Before Minato could step forward and say anything, Shintaro said, "Minato-sensei, help the other Konoha ninjas, and I'll assist Jiraiya-sama."

Before Minato could close his mouth, Shintaro turned and flew away.

After that, Minato shook his head and said, "With a killing star on Sunagakure's side, I fear they are cursed."

He initially wanted to say something to Shintaro for killing Rasa. But seeing his indifferent expression, as if killing a Kage was just a trivial matter, Minato secretly admired him, who was much younger than himself.

Minato turned to assist the other Konoha shinobi. Although the Bijuu and the Kazekage of Sunagakure were dead, Sunagakure's front line had not completely collapsed. Due to the huge advantage of the placer gold in the past, ordinary Konoha ninjas still faced a lot of pressure on the battlefield.

And Minato's support was as valuable as a thousand troops, providing a glimmer of victory to the ordinary Konoha ninjas that was visible to the naked eye.

On the other side of the battlefield, the fight between Jiraiya and Chiyo and Ebizo continued. Jiraiya alone suppressed the two elder puppeteers of Sunagakure.

To be precise, it was Jiraiya and Gamabunta who suppressed Chiyo and Ebizo's sixteen puppets with the power of one man and one toad.

Gamabunta spewed a large amount of toad oil forward. The fire Jiraiya spat easily fused with the toad oil, spreading instantly into raging flames. Facing the combined ninjutsu of Jiraiya and Gamabunta, Chiyo and Ebizo couldn't dodge and could only use all their power to defend.

Chiyo first used three puppets from Chikamatsu to block the front. The three puppets, all dressed in white, formed a triangular pyramid formation, activating the puppet mechanisms "Buddha." "Dharma." and "Monk." and launching a secret technique.

A tornado instantly erupted between the three puppets, sucking a large amount of fire from the front into the middle of the triangle formation, then shooting it backward after being strongly compressed.

In this way, most of the fire was compressed and shot into the open space behind, burning some scorched ground. Chiyo and Ebizo cooperated to use the remaining puppets to spread out a chakra light shield to block the remaining fire.

"These two old elders are very tough to deal with."

Jiraiya, who was not young himself, stood on top of Gamabunta and sighed. Although he had used various ninjutsu to blast the puppets in Chiyo and Ebizo's hands to pieces, the sturdy structure of the puppets could still last a long time.

If he continued to consume his energy like this, he was afraid his chakra would be exhausted first. Although Jiraiya's chakra was abundant, he couldn't withstand the continuous consumption of ninjutsu. Moreover, the puppet technique only required a small amount of chakra to maintain the chakra strings before it could be performed.

It was an unfair fight between the two in terms of chakra consumption.

"Should I activate Sage Mode?"

Jiraiya began to consider using his ultimate move. "That would trouble the two sages... Eh, what's that?"

Jiraiya was thinking, and suddenly saw Shintaro flying in the distance. "Shintaro, this Uchiha kid is very strong. It seems I don't need to activate Sage Mode anymore."

Shintaro flew from the distance and saw Chiyo and Ebizo below, so he extended his two fingers and pointed downward. At the same time, he shouted to Jiraiya: "Jiraiya-sama, let me handle them."

Jiraiya waved and replied: "Okay, I'll leave it to you!"

He said this and sat cross-legged on Gamabunta's head to watch the show. Gamabunta looked at Shintaro with the big pipe in his mouth, then raised his eyes and said: "Jiraiya, since when did you have such a strong kid in Konoha?"

"It's natural for someone from the Uchiha clan to be strong." Jiraiya shook his head and said.

Shintaro then looked down. "If I want Pakura to become Kazekage safely, you two can't survive."

Shintaro thought to himself that of course, he wasn't emotional, but made the entire decision based on rational considerations. He rushed out immediately.

Chiyo and Ebizo below were already on guard. Chiyo was the shield and Ebizo was the sword. These two siblings cooperated very well. However, Shintaro's ability was beyond what the two experienced puppeteers could handle.

*BANG*

A red beam hit the blue chakra light shield in front of Chiyo and Ebizo and bounced it back instantly. The puppet hit Chiyo and Ebizo, making them fly fifty meters away.

Various ninja tools fired by Ebizo were all blocked by [Infinity] without exception. Shintaro slowly landed on the ground. Chiyo and Ebizo felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and quickly launched puppet attacks regardless of their injuries.

Sixteen puppets rushed forward and surrounded him. Shintaro spun his body, and the technique reappeared. He spun and obliterated the sixteen puppets, then smashed them into the sky. The puppets forcibly broken into pieces completed their final performance in the air and scattered on the ground.

Chiyo and Ebizo, who lost their puppets, looked like lambs to be slaughtered in his eyes. However, Chiyo and Ebizo still used chakra threads to control the puppet parts to fight.

But it was useless; Shintaro rushed towards the two despite the attacks from the puppet parts. Cursed Energy surged throughout his body, and he punched with two fists.

*BAM* *BAM*

The two elders of Sunagakure looked at each other before they died, and both vomited blood and died. The puppet parts controlled by their hands also lost control and flew in the air, shining with the luster of metal and hard wood, marking the end of the performance.

"Are you sure... this is normal?"

Gamabunta opened his mouth wide until the pipe in his mouth almost fell out. Jiraiya scratched his head and said: "Maybe, hahahahaha!"
