Naruto: Sasuke's return

[Chapter Size: 1300 Words.]

---------------------------------------

"Noise!"

The Kusanagi sword and the tip of Sasori tail collided, sparks flying everywhere!

The tail's stinger contracted slightly, producing a powerful recoil.

"Noise!"

Sasuke seized the moment, flipping off the bridge rope and forming a hand seal!

Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Jutsu!

"Boom!"

A massive fire dragon exploded on the bridge where Sasori was!

Sasuke's hand seal changed immediately!

Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!

"Boom!"

The strong wind passed, stirring the flames and delivering a heavy blow to Sasori within it!

The flames dissipated, and the surface of the bridge became scorched. Through the opening in the Great Fire Dragon Jutsu, Sasuke clearly saw the structure of Sasori puppet, and his eyes froze slightly.

"I see, so the real body is hidden inside the puppet mechanism..."

"Kabuto had told me that Orochimaru would appear on the Tenchi Bridge, but it was Uchiha Sasuke who was waiting there, attacking without explanation."

Sasori concluded, "I understand now, this is a trap you set to lure me here. Where is Orochimaru?"

Sasuke released the bridge rope and called out, "Your opponent is me!"

"How arrogant!"

Prepared Puppet: Eight Waves of Needles!

"Click!"

The mechanism in the mouth opened, and the "talisman" embedded inside fired dense poisonous needles and stingers forward!

"Ding ding ding!"

Sasuke swung the Kusanagi sword rapidly to knock down the approaching poisonous needles!

"Just like the tail, are all the needles poisoned? This is indeed a trick used by a puppeteer! I haven't developed resistance to Orochimaru's poison yet, so I can't afford to be hit." thought Sasuke.

"Crack!"

After blocking the first wave of poisonous needles with the Kusanagi sword, Sasuke swiftly released Lightning Release chakra into his calves and dodged while moving at high speed!

Sasori adjusted the angle of fire while chasing at high speed, and the poisonous needles followed closely!

"Ding ding ding!"

Sasuke continued to swing his sword while moving, but noticed the poisonous needles were too dense and fast, so he quickly formed a hand seal while swinging the sword, stopping abruptly and stamping his right foot down on the bridge!

Earth Style: Earth-Style Wall!

"Boom!"

On the open deck of the Tenchi Bridge, when Sasuke stomped his foot, a thick wall of earth immediately rose, completely blocking the poisonous needles!

"Huh!?"

Sasori finally showed a hint of surprise.

He realized that Sasuke was completely different from what he had expected!

"Lightning Style, Fire Style, Wind Style and now Earth Style. In such a short fight, he's already used four types of ninjutsu. At his age, his range of ninjutsu is astounding. What's even rarer is his incredible agility and his ability to release ninjutsu at the right moment. He's so experienced and calm that he doesn't seem to belong to his age. I understand now, he's Itachi's younger brother?"

Behind the earth wall, Sasuke's mind raced. The puppet's armor was too tough, and common ninjutsu wouldn't be enough to break it, so he had to find a way to destroy it. But even as a puppet, it was extremely agile, and there were many traps, capturing it wouldn't be easy.

Sadori attacked again.

"Swoosh!"

Sasori raised his left arm, and poisonous smoke was expelled from the jet device on his left hand. The force from the poisonous smoke ejected a cylindrical machine gun diagonally upward, hovering directly behind the earth-flowing wall, above Sasuke's head!

Puppet: Thousand Arms Manipulation!

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"

From that machine gun, countless cylinders were fired in all directions. As each cylinder flew, it also shot the poisonous needles stored inside. Although it was said to be slow, in reality, there was less than a second between the projectile being fired and the needles falling like a storm!

Unlike the Eight Waves of Needles, which launches forward linear attacks, though fast, there is still space to dodge!

This is a point-to-surface assault, and the trajectory of each poisoned needle is difficult to predict, making it an impossible attack to avoid!

This is the unique advantage that the design has over other puppet mechanisms. In theory, it can only be resisted by quickly using defensive ninjutsu, or space-time ninjutsu to successfully dodge!

Sasuke had no idea about Sasori intelligence, so how could he have predicted that his puppet mechanism concealed such a secret?

"Whoosh!"

In a split second, the earth behind the wall and transformed into a hell of needles!

"Swish!"

Sasori jumped onto the earth wall and naturally saw Sasuke lying there, motionless, transformed into an "urchin."

Sasori said with disdain: "Hmph, even with the Sharingan, you cannot avoid this puppet mechanism. When you go to hell, you'll regret Orochimaru's recklessness for leaving you in charge!"

"Boom!"

At that moment, Sasuke, who was lying on the ground, suddenly turned into a cloud of white smoke!

"Shadow Clone?"

Yes, when facing an opponent with unknown intelligence, we cannot take immediate precautions, but we can prevent things from happening beforehand!

"Creak!"

When Sasori was surprised, the earth wall where was located revealed a hidden trap!

His expression suddenly changed: "A Water Prison Jutsu, he can use such a a high-level Water Escape technique!"

"Boom!"

In the next second, the Earth-Style Wall collapsed, and a hole appeared in the surface of the bridge. The river water beneath the bridge surged up, transforming into a solid water prison, trapping Sasori inside!

"I was fooled. That brat, he really expected me to jump onto the Earth-Style Wall to confirm his death!"

"Swish!"

Sasuke, hidden beneath the water, leapt to the bridge's edge. In his right palm, lightning chakra gathered, and he unleashed a Chidori, charging at full speed toward sasori, who was trapped inside the water prison!

Sasori: "Don't underestimate me. This water prison can't contain me!!"

Secret Technique: Remove Viscosity and Binding!

"Clash!"

Just before Sasuke got close, the water prison exploded!!

Sasori quickly retreated!!

Sasori: "Unfortunately, your plan has failed..."

But at that moment, Sasuke extended his left hand, ready for action!

Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!

"Crack, crack, crack!!"

"Come back to me!!!"

Several strong trees emerged next, but arrived first, tightly wrapping around Sasori and pulling him back!

Sasori face turned pale with horror: "Wood Release, are you messing with me!?"

In a panic, Sasori controlled the tail stinger, which was coated with deadly poison, and stabbed directly at Sasuke!!

But the Sharingan gave Sasuke the ability to avoid danger while running at high speed!

As he dodged the tail spike, Sasuke extended his right hand!

Chidori!!

"Whoosh!!"

The lightning penetrated through Sasori's chest armor!

"Swish!"

Almost simultaneously, a black shadow emerged from the opening in back panel!

"..."

"Crack!"

Sasuke pulled his right palm out from the armor, and the tree in his left hand threw the broken puppet into the river beneath the Bridge, then retracted and disappeared.

Seeing this, Orochimaru, who was in the forest, smiled and said, "It looks like the warm-up exercises are over..."

Kabuto pushed his glasses in his direction and urgently said, "Next, it will be a life-or-death battle..."

Sasuke sighed in relief and looked at the figure falling to the ground.

"I've finally figured it out. You were really sent by Orochimaru to kill me..."

The man spoke in a feminine voice, completely different from Sasori. He removed the hood of her Fire Cloud Robe, revealing her red hair and face.

Sasuke focused his eyes: "So this is the real body of Sasori of the Red Sand? It's a bit different from what I imagined..."

"That lightning thrust technique was taught to you by White Fang's son, Hatake Kakashi..."

There was a trace of murderous intent in Sasori words as he slowly picked up a scroll.

"Then I'll use my most rewarding work to send you off..."

"Click!"

After the scroll was unrolled, the word "three" appeared on it!

He formed a seal with two fingers on his chest.

Human Puppet: The Third Kazekage!
