Red sand dust

Puppet in the conventional sense naturally refers to combat puppets like Sand Ninja, which are made of wood, metal, biological materials, etc.

But broadly speaking, all foreign objects that are controlled by people and have certain special functions are counted.

Whether it is a super beast fake painting or summoned by Shiho's secret technique, it is a battle puppet. Its composition materials and control methods are different from the traditional puppet master of Sunagakure Village, but they are similar in nature.

Strictly speaking, the situation of the earth puppets summoned by the Gosei-style jutsu used by Onoki, Yellow Earth, and Akatsuchi, the Third Tsuchikage, is similar, but that jutsu is not classified as a puppet jutsu, but an earth escape technique.

Only the method of the Sand Ninja Puppet Master has the widest range of application, covers the most comprehensive fields, and is the most representative. For example, the cursed sand puppet technique used by Miss Saya and Daimaru is actually an earth escape technique, but because it is good at using it The practitioners of this technique are basically puppet masters, so they are also counted as puppet techniques.

Shura Dao, which was dismantled by Daimaru not long ago, is obviously also a type of puppetry; not only the reincarnation eye, but also the reincarnation eye has the ability to control undead puppets to fight, and its method of controlling living people is also quite clever.

There is also the quasi-forbidden technique in Sunagakure Village, the Human Body Transformation Technique, which can not only control corpses to fight, but can also be used in conjunction with ninjas. This is of course also considered a puppet technique; but the joint transformation technique, the technique of two lives, is generally not considered As puppetry.

In general, this is just a cognitive difference caused by different standards of differentiation.

Shiho's unexpected performance surprised even those who didn't think highly of her.

Miss Saya, who saw this kind of strange puppet for the first time, also put away her contempt, released a few puppets, and tried to attack a few times, but found that the puppets composed of this kind of rune chain were very slow to damage.

Hidden weapon attacks either penetrated it or were submerged in it, and were slowly eliminated; less serious damage could also be quickly restored to its original state.

It behaves like a shape-shifting monster with an immortal body, and its physical attack effect is extremely poor.

interesting!

Looking at the strange puppet standing in front of Shiho like a human shield, Miss Saya did not get angry at the opponent who had offended her. Instead, she put away the ineffective small puppets, then summoned a group of sand puppets to surround them, thinking Be careful to test its properties.

After a few rounds, Miss Saya, who had lost some chakra and barely gained some, said with interest:

It looks scary, but the strength is quite average! The reaction ability and speed are average, and the strength is okay, but there are no great tactics. Maybe it is hindered by the master who is not good at fighting. Relying on the powerful and heavy range to sweep and attack the front, it may lead to Poison, and even the ability to explode violently and die together...

After knowing the details, Miss Saya gradually approached, constantly changing her position, looking for loopholes in her defense.

Earth escape, thunder escape and water escape should be effective in dealing with it, but for me, there is no need to be so troublesome...

The purple-haired girl said, increasing the intensity of the sand puppet's attack. Whenever it got close and was defeated, it would explode and turn into a pile of sand, which piled higher and higher around Shiho, forming six small mounds.

Finally, the mound that still contains Miss Saya's chakra suddenly changes shape. Six sand giants over three meters high are like the cornerstones of six illusion spaces, forming a powerful barrier that isolates the inside and outside, a hexagonal pyramid. The curtain was reversed, trapping Shiho to death.

The arena is not the place for a technical ninja like you. You should just stay in the laboratory and learn!

Shiho, who knew something was wrong, didn't care to hold back, and hurriedly controlled the guard puppet to charge forward, and was blocked at the edge of the barrier. Then it exploded violently, shaking the barrier for a while, but that was all. .

How does the Puppet Master, who has the ultimate home field advantage, fight?

The siege of puppets who are not afraid of life and death is nothing. There are ripples of mental power around them, always ready to take advantage of Shiho's unprepared opportunity to bring him down. There is also an increasingly thick brown mist, and I don't know what's inside. How many powerful poisons can seal one's throat with blood?

As a last resort, he turned the guard puppet into a flowing liquid and wrapped it around himself to block those strange attacks.

Although they haven't lost for a while, but when they can only be beaten passively and are completely unable to fight back, there is basically no possibility of winning, and losing the competition is only a matter of time.

In another year when the competition is not so fierce, the performance may be much better. This year, we can only stop here!

As a cerebral ninja, Shiho is not the kind of passionate young man who can unleash his potential at critical moments and forcefully reverse the defeat. When he realized that there was no way to save his life and the poisoning reaction in his body became more and more obvious, he had no choice but to throw up his hands and admit defeat.

Maybe Shiho still had some powerful methods that he hadn't used yet, but Miss Saya didn't give the opponent a chance at all. After a thorough intelligence investigation, she directly released the winner.

The fighting mentality of Konoha ninjas is very impressive!

Daimaru sighed.

In comparison, Suna Ninja is too careless and has no idea of ​​​​friendship first and competition second. No matter what the opponent is, win first.

If your skills are inferior to others, you can't blame your opponents!

The bearded Sarutobi Asuma is very optimistic. The strength of the newly formed female ninja team is already uneven. Except for Haruno Sakura, who is relatively comprehensive, the weaknesses of Kurama Yakumo and Shiho are too obvious.

It wasn't obvious in the first two team competitions, but the weak nature will be revealed in the individual competitions.

Compared with other Konoha teams, Shiho is just a make-up, and Haruno Sakura is sent to increase experience. As for Kurama Yakumo, no one knows what is wrong with this genjutsu ninja who is outside the Konoha ninja system. , came all the way to Sand Hidden Village to suffer.

When the invitation was originally sent to the Kurama family, Tsunade probably just drank too much and casually signed the order. Unexpectedly, Kurama Yakumo actually agreed.

There are three women in one play, and three adolescent girls come together. If there is no basic plastic sisterhood, there will be no basic cohesion.

Kurenai Yuhi looked at the pale Kurama Yakumo and yawned, ignoring the fact that her temporary teammate Shiho was eliminated and showed no sign at all. Fortunately, the considerate Haruno Sakura comforted her a little.

There is no team spirit at all, and the temporary team assembled at will is really unreliable! 』

The fact that the three of them were able to pass the second test fully demonstrated that they were outstanding individuals. Even if they all had flaws and could not work together, they were still stronger than most of the candidate groups.

Soon after, the eighth game will begin, featuring Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino, both members of Konoha Genin Team 10...
