Magnetic Release: Iron Sand World Method!

The iron sand that exploded into the air transformed into countless large, sharp spikes, crossing each other. It wouldn't stop until every enemy was eliminated. The attack, range of restriction, and density all converged into the strongest form. This was truly the most lethal killing move of the magnetic escape of iron sand!

At the critical moment, Sasuke absorbed the power of the Cursed Seal and overcame the effects of the poison. He then released all the sublimated power of the Wood Release within his body through hand seals!

Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees!

Although the practitioner stood on the water, their techniques had their own foundation. From the mud at the riverbed, trees sprouted, rising and falling, advancing in unison, breaking through the river's obstruction and instantly forming towering trees on the water's surface!

Sasori had a fierce look on his face: "This Wood Release, did he hide his power before? No, his power increased dramatically in an instant. Not only did he overcome the effects of the poison, but he also used a Wood Release strong enough to rival the Iron Sand World Method! What the hell did Orochimaru do to him?!"

He used the Iron Sand World Method to declare war on the Nativity of a World of Trees!

But no matter how the iron sand pierced, it couldn't break through the protective layers of the World of Trees. As the World of Trees expanded, the Sasori was forced to retreat from the battlefield's center!

"Don't go too far!"

Sasori shouted coldly, and the strings of his puppets, controlled by his ten fingers, interwove. The Third Kazekage puppet fluttered its iron sand wings and flew freely between the iron sand and the World of Trees.

"Click!"

A poisonous blade shot out from the puppet mechanism in the left arm, ready to decapitate Sasuke!

Sasuke, sensing the Sasori intent, immediately controlled the surrounding trees to intercept him!

Outside the World of Trees, Sasori was performing a puppet show, his ten fingers interwoven and dancing so quickly that afterimages appeared!

Guided by the ten bouncing chakra threads, the Third Kazekage clashed its blades, with broken wood flying in all directions. The momentum was unstoppable!

But the World of Trees was so prosperous that if you cut one tree, ten more would come to its aid!

"Click! Click!"

During the fierce push, the front tip of the poisonous blade broke, but the Sasori ignored it. The afterimage became even more ghostly, and the Third Kazekage's attack grew even fiercer!

Thanks to the sophisticated puppet mechanism and the unparalleled skills of its operator, he actually managed to open a path through the World of Trees with just one man and one sword!

When all the trees blocking the path were cut down, the blade was also completely sharpened!

"Slash!"

Sasori joined his hands, and the Third Kazekage's Thousand Arms Manipulation was released once again. But this time, what emerged from its arms was no longer poisonous mist, but a devastating kunai!

"Whoosh!"

Sasuke's eyes gleamed!

The Susanoo's skeleton rose again, blocking all the kunai!

But this time, it wasn't defense, it was attack!

"Click!"

Outside the skeleton, the fascia wrapped around, bones and flesh connected, and the Susanoo entered its second form!

Kabuto, who had been wandering on the periphery, said, "That Susanoo form!"

Orochimaru smiled, "It's coming!"

"Whoosh!"

In Susanoo's right hand, a long bow condensed, and in the left hand, an arrow grew. He drew the bow and aimed the arrow, pointing it at the Third Kazekage's puppet, twenty meters away!

"Damn!!"

Outside the World of Trees, the Sasori cursed inwardly upon seeing this.

Through the gaps between the trees that had stopped moving on the periphery, iron sand piled up wildly, injecting itself into the iron sand barrier implanted in front of the Third Kazekage puppet!

Divine Artifact: Heavenly arrow!

"Boom!"

The Susanoo's Arrow was fired, and the protective Iron Sand barrier that once perfectly defended against the furious wind was destroyed by a single arrow. The Third Kazekage had no place to hide!

"The defense of the Sand Iron is truly strong..."

Sasuke's eyes were cloudy.

"Then, what can you do about the second arrow?"

As he spoke, Susanoo drew its bow and fired again!

Boom!

Before the iron sand could rebuild its defense, the second arrow followed. Without the protection of the iron sand, the Puppet was directly destroyed by the arrow. Countless broken parts were scattered in the water, unable to be repaired!

Sasori's most cherished creation was ruthlessly ended!

"Crash!"

The World of Trees sank to the riverbed, and Sasuke controlled Susanoo to advance.

On the other side, the Sasori lowered his head and murmured, "I understand, Uchiha Sasuke. I admit, among all the ninjas I have seen in my life, you are the first with such strength at your age…"

He slowly extended his hand toward the collar of his Fire Cloud Cloak.

"Since you joined Akatsuki, you've fought with your own body for the first time in a long time..."

"Riiiip!"

He tore the Fire Cloud Cloak off and threw it into the river!

Sasuke paused in his tracks. Anyone not knowing Sasori's past would naturally have this reaction when seeing that body for the first time!

Sasuke was no exception!

"You really turned yourself into a human puppet?"

Sasuke activated his Sharingan to examine the Sasori's puppet body and instantly saw the most crucial secret.

"The flesh on your chest reacts with chakra in a way different from the rest of the puppet's body. I understand now. It seems to be the 'core' of the puppet's body. I've seen similar technology in the cyborgs created by the Kara Organization in later generations. I never thought Sasori's consciousness would be this advanced. No, perhaps the organization was inspired by Sasori…"

At the same time, Sasuke had a new question.

"The cyborgs of the Organization only have a removable regenerative core placed inside their bodies. They still need organs to maintain their bodily functions. But, besides that piece of flesh, Sasori really hollowed out his organs, including his brain. Can he really make his puppet think and move like a living person with just that piece of flesh? Perhaps there's another mystery behind his puppet..."

He naturally thought of one possibility.

"Could it be, his soul? Or perhaps, a powerful belief that allowed his spirit to possess the puppet!"

"That's a far greater achievement than just a chakra core!"

"In his past life, Sakura really fought against such an existence..."

"To sum up, the flesh core is the weakness of the Sasori's Puppet Body, right?"

"Click!"

On the Sasori's abdomen, a steel cable coiled like intestines, with the tip resting on the water's surface. The Sasori's feet were positioned at the curves of the steel cable's two ends, and a spiral cutter extended from the back of his waist.

The same posture, but a completely different state of mind compared to his previous life when facing Sakura and Grandma Chiyo.

He realized that Sasuke was a powerful enemy, one capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with him!

"My flesh core weakness is exposed by your Sharingan. Your various ninjutsu and methods of attack are overwhelmingly disadvantageous to me in close combat..."

"Hmph, it seems we can no longer fight by the rules."

"I must exhaust your strength completely, ensuring that you can't use 'Susanoo' and 'Wood Release'. That is the key to my victory!"

"Whoosh!"

The silk thread from his fingertips tied the third scroll to the scroll column on his back!

Orochimaru's expression changed: "Oh, it seems Sasori isn't entirely inflexible. He actually wants to use that technique here. Well then, Sasuke, how will you handle this?"

"Whoosh!!"

From the open scroll, black shadows shot into the sky and transformed into an overwhelming puppet formation!

Sasuke stared intently. "This many...!"

The Sasori ran his fingers through his fringe: "Feel honored, Uchiha Sasuke. This is a puppet technique that once destroyed a country..."
