Chapter 86: Quadruple Siege
"You actually escaped."
Fuya was surprised. His ultimate move had been tested numerous times, killing no fewer than ten elite ninjas. No one had ever escaped. It was basically an unavoidable move.
"It seems I still underestimated you," Fuya admitted, a cautious look on his face. "Besides your great speed, you also have a good sense of combat. As for your swordsmanship, although it's mediocre, it has its advantages."
Calmly, he bandaged his shoulder and hand wounds, then continued to advance. As he walked, he kept provoking Sasuke, trying to anger him. This time, Sasuke did not attack again but had his clones throw kunai to maintain the facade that he was trying to stop his advance.
Fuya, as if he had a Byakugan, easily deflected them all.
Soon, he reached the "puppet team's" defensive formation.
"Kōsa, it's me," he said.
But the clone disguised as Kōsa suddenly pointed behind him. "Watch out for what's behind you!" he shouted.
He wasn't lying.
"Sand Ninja! Go to hell!"
"Roar! Give me back my food!"
A sudden roar sounded behind him. Fūjin and Raijin, who had been waiting, jumped up and slammed their large iron staffs into Fuya.
At the same time, Kon, guided by another clone, cast her long-awaited B-rank illusion: "Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death!"
Simultaneously, the three "puppet users" shed their disguises and launched a sneak attack, including the Thousand Needle Rain.
And to top it off, "Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Sasuke shouted. A huge water dragon lunged at Fuya.
In an instant, Fuya was surrounded by a four-layered siege, in a practically inescapable predicament.
As expected of a Sunagakure jonin, his will was incomparable. Despite the illusion's impact, he remained in a trance for only an instant before breaking free. However, he no longer had time to form hand seals. The two giants' staffs were about to smash his head. He was forced to dodge, which left him exposed to the puppets' attack. And in front of him, blocking all escape, the water dragon roared.
Soft "poofs" were heard. The puppets' needles penetrated his body. Another loud bang was heard. The Water Dragon Bullet impacted him, throwing him tens of meters away.
Under the quadruple siege, Fuya was finally defeated.
"Ahem... what a complex plan... ahem," he said, collapsing under a huge stone, spitting blood. He felt that his death had not been unjust. If he had known this would happen, he should have used a ninjutsu to dispel the mist from the beginning, even if it killed his captured commander, Taki. He didn't expect his companions to be defeated so quickly, nor that someone could master the secrets of Sunagakure's puppets and such an exceptional transformation technique.
"You hold me in high regard. With such strength, you ambush me and all kill me together," he muttered. In his opinion, the combined strength of his opponents far exceeded his own.
Villains often die from talking too much. Sasuke didn't plan to waste words and prepared to finish him off.
"Maki, Dad loves you... and watch out for Konoha," Fuya roared with his last breath. He quickly completed five hand seals.
"Summoning Technique!"
Suddenly, a cloud of white smoke exploded, and from it emerged a colossal creature: a giant lizard that easily blocked the finishing kunai. It was over ten meters long, like a giant Komodo dragon.
"Fuya, you call me to this troublesome place... be careful, or I'll devour you," the large lizard hissed, looking at Fuya with a penetrating gaze. But there was no response. Fuya had died, using his last breath to summon it.
"Fuya!" the giant lizard's voice filled with unexpected sadness. With a simple roar, it dispelled the mist for tens of meters around it, revealing its enormous and monstrous figure. Its power was, without a doubt, superior to that of a jonin.
