Chapter 207
“How perceptive!”
The anger on Baizu's face flashed away, but he soon looked at Lu Nie with admiration, his tone was sincere, but his eyes were greedy. As long as he could keep these people here, he could not only obtain Lu Nie's physical data, but also obtain a Wood Release test subject and the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki.
All of this will help him plan!
The premise is that he can get rid of Lu Nie here!
If it was Lu Nie from his era, Baizu would have run away the first time he saw the other party. As a former admirer, he knew the other party's battle record and possible trump cards too well.
But in this timeline, looking at Lu Nie whose face still looks a little immature, Baizu believes that his chances of winning are very high!
Although his preparations were not perfect, he was not without any trump cards.
As a former admirer, Baizu also wanted to show his skills and strength to the other party. It would be even better if he could surprise and embarrass the other party!
The seven puppets moved suddenly following the Baizu's gestures, and rushed towards Lu Nie from all directions. Three of the puppets formed a group in the shape of a Chinese character "众", with their hands forming seals and their lower lips opening together, revealing the three characters "佛法僧" (Buddha, Dharma and Monk) hidden within their lips.
Sambo sucks!
In an instant, strong airflows gathered in front of the three people, and the powerful suction force madly absorbed everything in front of them towards the center of the ninjutsu formed by the three puppets.
Immortal method·Inorganic reincarnation!
The layers of stone walls and the stones that fell from above served as filler and cover in an instant, blocking Luna and Itachi.
Black silk wrapped around Itachi, pushing him backwards and avoiding the range of the puppet ninjutsu.
The gravel was sucked into the tornado by the suction force, constantly twisted and compressed, and finally ejected along the formation behind it.
A female puppet wielding two swords took advantage of the situation and fell from the sky. The bright sword light was like mercury pouring on the ground, slashing down in the direction where Lu Nie was.
Her movements were as agile as a ninja skilled in physical skills, rather than a puppet controlled by a finger.
The shadows under Lu Nie's feet were like living creatures. The moment he was attacked, they intertwined in front of him to form a large black net, protecting Lu Nie firmly.
The knife in the puppet's hand cut into the web woven from shadow threads, just like a fish entering a fishing net, feeling no force at all.
On the other hand, after removing the force from the puppet's knife, the shadow silk, like a surging wave in the next moment, tightly bound the female puppet holding the knife, and then violently snatched away the control over it from the other party.
Those shadow threads spontaneously attack all moving objects that invade their territory, just like a spider's web, any slight touch will be fed back to the spider entrenched in the web.
Shadow silk can also combine freely and change its shape to cope with various situations.
The only thing that limits Shadow Silk's activity area is that Lu Nie's shadow cannot provide a large enough area for it.
When Lu Nie saw Baizu again, the other party had already arrived at the center of the underground. The surrounding puppet debris were all swept away in the absorption of the three treasures just now, compressed and shot to the rear, and then Baizu used a gorgeous purple energy to reshape it.
What finally appeared before Lu Nie and the others was a lifelike raccoon-like monster.
One-tailed Shukaku!
Naruto and Maki on the field recognized the raccoon cat the moment they saw it. Especially Maki, he even suspected that the centipede had secretly returned to the village and stole the sealing pot that sealed the one-tailed Shukaku.
But immediately, Maki denied this possibility in his heart.
The One-Tailed Shukaku is an important item that is personally guarded and cared for by the Fourth Kazekage. Secondly, he had seen the appearance of the One-Tailed Shukaku during the war with the Cloud Ninja.
Although the monster in front of him was extremely similar to the one-tailed Shukaku, the patterns and colors on its body were different from the Shukaku in his memory.
The One-Tailed Shukaku had a curse-like pattern on its body. The Shukaku in front of him also had a similar pattern, but it looked more like blood vessels flowing with purple blood. In the dim underground, the faint purple halo on its body was flowing along the lines that were like blood vessels all over its body.
At this moment, Baizu was standing on the head of the One-Tailed Shukaku, and his whole body gradually sank into Shukaku's body. As he formed hand seals, Shukaku, who seemed to be sleeping, opened its eyes the next moment.
Two gorgeous eyeballs flashing with purple halos turned back and forth in the eye sockets, and finally locked onto Lu Nie.
Looking at this creature that looks so much like One-Tail, Lu Nie felt a slight sense of anticipation in his heart.
Although the other party's thoughts seemed a bit paranoid and arrogant to him, his attainments in puppetry were indeed eye-opening for him, who had not come into contact with many puppeteers.
He could feel that the One-Tail in front of him was not just a looker in appearance. He had come into close contact with many tailed beasts. The energy surging from the One-Tail in front of him and the threat it posed were even greater than those of the Two-Tail.
In other words, Baizu, relying on his own technology and creativity, actually created a puppet that is comparable to the tailed beast in terms of energy level.
The energy core of this puppet is the underground dragon vein!
Even if he could achieve this with the help of the power of dragon veins, Baizu would be qualified to be ranked among the puppeteers' hall of fame and add his own position in it.
Fire Style: Dragon Pulse Fireball!
Different from One-Tail's wind and sand, the Puppet One-Tail slapped its belly in an instant, and sprayed out multiple huge purple fireballs like a chain bullet.
Maki and others who were within the attack range of the fireball felt an extremely terrifying sense of crisis.
Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
Yamato immediately blocked Naruto, Haruno Sakura and Sai in the net behind him. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a rotating torrent in front of him cut the ground and rose from the ground, protecting him and the team members behind him in the center of the rotating water curtain.
A huge fireball collided with the rotating water curtain, eroding a huge gap silently. Yamato mobilized more chakra in an instant, enhancing the rotation and power of the water array wall, and even a look of effort appeared on his face.
Four rock giants held rock shields in their hands and stood in front of Lunie. The purple fireball technique exploded in an instant, blowing the four rock giants to pieces.
The entire underground space was shattered by the attack of the puppet's tail.
Lu Nie waved his arm in the direction of Puppet One Tail. As he moved, a rock blade like a shark fin suddenly emerged from the ground. It swam quickly on the ground and became larger, finally cutting in front of Puppet One Tail.
Stab it!
The claws of the puppet's tail grabbed the moving rock blade and blocked it from its body. However, under the movement of the rock, the puppet's huge body was pushed back two steps.
Wind blade!
Maki's figure instantly appeared above the puppet's tail, and the compressed violent wind in his hand was heavily swung down towards the puppet's tail's head.
The wind that was compressed to the extreme drew an invisible crescent-shaped wind blade in the air according to Maki's wishes.
The puppet reacted extremely quickly and raised its arms high up, turning them into a shield to block in front of it. However, it was cut in half by the attack of the wind blade.
Roar!
Purple energy flowed down like blood, and the dragon opened its mouth and roared. The huge sound wave was accompanied by a strong wind, and it blasted Maki, who wanted to get closer and attack again, directly out of the air.
Maki used the power of the wind to land on the ground, grabbed the ground with his hands, and slid back to Lu Nie's side. He couldn't help coughing twice, and blood was oozing from the corners of his lips. The close-range bombardment of the wave almost made Maki's body stiff and unable to move, and he even fainted.
However, after Maki steadied himself, he immediately paid attention to the damage his previous attack had caused to the puppet's tail.
"how come?"
Maki's eyes suddenly widened in surprise, because he found that the wound on the puppet's tail was healing rapidly under the power of the dragon vein.
In other words, material regeneration!
"A simple attack is useless to it. As long as the power of the dragon vein is still there, it will be immortal as it is assimilated with the dragon vein.
If you want to kill it, you first need to destroy the dragon vein, but once the dragon vein is destroyed..."
Lu Nie did not continue. But Maki already knew the consequences. The dragon vein represents endless chakra. Once it is destroyed, it will cause immeasurable damage to the ninja world and the earth.
"As expected of you! You can see the relationship between this puppet and the dragon vein at a glance. That's right, I am invincible here!
In my home turf, your only fate is to become my collection!"
A sharp and fanatical voice came out from the mouth of the Puppet One-Tail. His voice was even louder and more complacent at this moment.
He seemed to be excited that his creation was causing trouble for Lu Nie.
"Well, do you need us to do anything?"
Yamato also came to Lu Nie's side. The current situation seemed to be extremely bad. If they could not defeat the centipede together, not only would their mission fail, but they would probably be buried in this world.
As the captain of Team 7, Yamato was determined to send Naruto, Sakura and the others back.
"Perhaps my Wood Release can have some effect on the power of the dragon vein?"
Yamato wanted to try whether the power of the dragon veins, like the chakra of the tailed beasts, could be affected by Wood Release. If so, perhaps they could still win.
"You can try."
Lu Nie did not stop Yamato's proposal. Although the current situation looked very bad, it was still within his ability to deal with.
In this case, with Yamato taking the initiative to propose it, Lu Nie also wants to collect more data, such as whether Wood Release has any restraint or influence on Dragon Veins?
"Help me control it!" Yamato said while making hand seals.
However, he did not place all his hopes on Lu Nie and the other two. He took the lead in using the Wood Release Ninjutsu to lock the puppet One-Tail in a cage made of wooden pillars.
Lu Nie and Maki also cooperated to perform binding ninjutsu.
Black shadows and surging quicksand poured into the cage built by Wood Release at the same time, restricting the puppet in the cage from resisting.
The quicksand continued to devour the body of the Puppet One-Tail, and the black shadows were like ropes, binding its limbs together with the Wood Release Technique.
Naruto-style ear-obedience technique: Kuoan Ruyuu Chuan Shou!
Yamato quickly approached the puppet One-tail, and as he approached, he spread out his right hand, revealing the word "Sit" on the palm of his right hand. Then he instantly placed his open palm against the body of One-tail and quickly leaped backwards.
He pulled out a purple chakra line from the puppet's tail.
"It's useless! Your struggle is meaningless!"
The puppet One-Tail grabbed the chakra line between himself and Yamato. The function of this technique is to put the tailed beast to sleep, let its power calm down, and let the Jinchūriki regain consciousness.
But in the current situation, it is obvious that Yamato's technique did not play the role it should have. At least, the power of the dragon vein did not subside, and it did not even ease.
Similarly, the restraint of Wood Release is not as effective on the puppet One-Tail as it is on the Tailed Beasts.
This made Luna a little disappointed. Perhaps he shouldn't have expected Yamato's Wood Release Technique.
Fire Style: Super Dragon Vein Fireball Technique!
Any ninjutsu would be enhanced to another level with the power of the dragon vein. Just like a ninjutsu with natural energy added, both the quality and destructive power of the ninjutsu were deadly and dangerous.
For example, in the Dragon Vein Fireball Technique just now, Yamato almost consumed a quarter of his chakra before he could barely resist it.
Among the jonin, his chakra capacity is also among the highest.
Seeing the super purple fireball that was bigger and more dangerous than before and occupied his entire field of vision, he felt powerless for a moment.
Two thick stone walls from top to bottom were like closed gates, blocking the super fireball on the other side.
But in just a moment, a huge gap was eroded and blasted out of the thick rock wall. And the puppet was preparing for the next wave of attack.
As it has endless energy, it can use this powerful ninjutsu continuously until this space can no longer bear it.
If he didn't still have a glimmer of clarity and knew that he couldn't completely destroy this underground space, the power of the Puppet's Tail would have been even stronger.
But the next moment, the puppet One-Tail glanced down and saw Lu Ni standing out from the shadow and stabbing a blade that was disproportionate to his body into its body.
Baizu controlled Yiwei and raised his claws high, and then wanted to slap Lunie below. But at this moment, Baizu found that his control over the puppet Yiwei was suddenly cut off.
No, it should be said that the connection between the puppet's tail and the dragon vein beneath it was cut off or even blocked by some force!
The energy nodes on the puppet's tail dimmed one by one, and even the pieced-together body showed a tendency to collapse.
"What did you do? How could you cut off my connection with the dragon vein? Only the royal family of Loulan can possess this kind of power!"
The centipede in the puppet's body could not accept the scene before him. He frantically called upon the power of the Queen of Loulan, trying to infuse the power of the dragon vein into the puppet's body again, but there was always some insurmountable gap between the two.
