Chapter 282: I'm the Strongest

Boom!!

Without any stroke of luck, facing the instant teleportation strike of Tyrant's Pressure Cannon, Sasori, who was airborne, was directly shattered with a single blow. Meanwhile, the continuously spewing high-temperature flames and poisonous streams were all blocked by Michael beside him.

"Sasori?!"

Watching Sasori being shattered by the bear-paw shockwave unleashed by Tyrant under Yu's control, Biwa Juzo, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but exclaim softly, "That guy can't possibly be killed off just like that, right?!"

"Pay closer attention..."

"The man known as Sasori of the red sand is definitely not so easily defeated."

However, unlike Biwa Juzo's concern, Konan, who was quietly floating in mid-air, remained silent. Having crossed swords with Sasori before, she was well aware that with his strength, there was absolutely no reason for him to be defeated so easily.

"Damn... He can manipulate these Puppets without relying on Chakra Threads..."

"How did this kid manage to do it? Could these really be divine Puppets with lives?!"

Sure enough, as Konan's words fell, Sasori, who was shattered by Tyrant's blow in mid-air, unexpectedly released countless blue Chakra Threads from his Core of Living Flesh, gradually piecing his shattered human Puppetry body back together.

"He can regenerate even after being shattered?"

"So that's it... Is that Chakra core your only weakness?"

Seeing Sasori, who had been shattered by Tyrant's blow, regenerating, Yu's sharp gaze immediately fell on Sasori's left chest, where a large 'Sasori' was drawn, precisely where Sasori's 'Core of Living Flesh', which he relied on to produce Chakra, was located. It was his only weakness.

"Don't get too cocky, brat!!"

"The Puppetry I'm about to use... is my true secret weapon!!"

Seeing Yu had already seen through his weakness, Sasori, whose human Puppetry body had completely recovered, let out a low, cold snort. The blue Chakra Threads stirred slightly, instantly pulling out a brand-new scroll from behind himself.

"Oh? Your true secret weapon?"

"Are you referring to this?"

However, before Sasori could use the scroll in his hand, Yu simply flicked his finger, and Michael, who stood behind him protecting him, immediately stepped forward. He released countless poisonous black Iron Sand using the Magnet Release Chakra within him.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!!

As Sasori's expression changed wildly, countless poisonous black Iron Sand particles in the air, under Michael's control, had already formed into numerous tiny grains, exploding out in a wide range like shotgun pellets.

"This is... Iron Sand?!"

"Why is your Puppetry using the Third Kazekage's Ninjutsu?!"

If Sasori's body hadn't been made into human Puppetry, then his expression at this moment would surely have been extremely shocked. Faced with the countless Iron Sand drizzle explosively released by Michael before him, no one would understand the power of this move better than him.

Michael's storm-like barrage of Iron Sand bullets was so fast that they were difficult to track with the naked eye. In the process of rapid firing, they formed sharp and poisonous needles, capable of immobilizing joints even if they struck a Puppet body.

"Damn it..."

Utilizing the poisonous steel cables nailed to the icy surface beneath his feet, Sasori's body swiftly and agilely danced in the air, dodging Michael's countless barrages of Iron Sand bullets. He hadn't expected that his secretly stored strongest Third Kazekage's Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai would become his opponent's trump card.

Bang!!

Just as Michael's storm-like barrage of Iron Sand bullets finally ceased, Sasori finally seized the opportunity and directly summoned his human Puppet stored within the scroll.

With deep blue hair, yellow eyes, and draped in a blue and white Kazekage robe, surrounded by countless black poisonous Iron Sand particles, it was none other than the strongest Third Kazekage, who had been missing for years and whose body couldn't even be found!

"This just got interesting!!"

"No wonder the Third Kazekage of the Sand has been missing for so many years without even a body found. It turns out Sasori was behind it!!"

Seeing Sasori, who was facing Yu, summoning the human Puppet of the Sand's Third Kazekage, Biwa Juzo, who was watching the fight, suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

"You noisy fellow! Shut up!!"

After summoning his favorite human Puppet of the Third Kazekage, Sasori sternly rebuked the noisy Biwa Juzo beside him, and with a serious gaze, he stared at Yu, who stood calmly in place. "Keep your eyes wide open! Soon... I'll take down this kid!!"

Although he said so, after witnessing the terrifying power displayed by Yu and the incredible Devil Puppets, the proud Sasori of the red sand for the first time felt uncertain in his heart.

"Take me down? It seems you still haven't truly realized the gap between us..."

Hearing Sasori still insisting on taking him down, Yu smiled indifferently, but his eyes suddenly emitted a chilling aura. "Well, in that case... let's just end this disparate duel ahead of schedule!"

Snap!!

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yu lightly snapped his fingers, and without warning, the door to the spatial dimension of Kaio's Door Door Fruit opened above Sasori and the Third Kazekage human Puppetry's heads!

Oh no... What's this?!

Finally realizing that Yu had a mysterious Puppet lurking around him at all times, Sasori's pupils suddenly contracted crazily as he looked up at the silent opening of the mysterious spatial dimension above his head.

Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite!!

Although he had reacted promptly, in the face of the speed unleashed by the strongest Third Raikage, Sasori felt as if time around him had slowed to a standstill. Before him, a terrifying figure covered in raging lightning flashed by, and The Strongest Spear, piercing through everything, had already pierced through his body with a single strike!

Boom!!

The aftermath continued, and the power of Kaio's hand, known as The Strongest Spear's Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite, fully erupted. Biwa Juzo and Konan, who were watching from the side, felt as if an extremely violent lightning explosion had occurred before them, and the frozen ground beneath their feet cracked open like an earthquake.

"Sasori?!"

With the sudden turn of events, even Konan, floating nearby in midair, couldn't help but change her expression. She hadn't expected Yu's Puppet hidden within Space-Time to appear without warning, and its terrifying power directly took out Sasori with a single blow, leaving them no time to intervene even if they wanted to.

"So the rumors were true..."

At this moment, Biwa Juzo beside Konan also had a complete change of expression. Through the black cloak lifted by the strong wind on Kaio's body, he had already seen the terrifying visage on its face. "That guy actually turned even the Hidden Cloud's strongest Third Raikage into Puppetry?!"

"One is the strongest Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud, and the other is the strongest Third Kazekage of the Sand..."

"It's a pity you couldn't witness their duel, but everything has come to an end..."

After controlling Kaio, who appeared out of nowhere, to crush Sasori of the red sand, once regarded by all ninja as the pinnacle of Puppet masters, Yu watched the changing expressions on the faces of Biwa Juzo and Konan. He then stepped on the shattered ice beneath his feet and walked towards them. His entire body blackened, and his handsome yet sinister face exuded the unique dominance and fierceness of a Devil.

"From today onwards— I, Yakushi Yu, am the strongest Puppet master in the ninja world."
