Tsunade, you're really drunk!

"For the tenth match, please welcome Kankuro from Sunagakure and Kurotsuchi from Iwagakure to the stage!"

Then, Kankuro came to the center of the stage with the puppet and Kurotsuchi on his back.

The moment Kurotsuchi appeared, Oonoki in the box cast an expectant look at his granddaughter.

"My dear granddaughter, you are the only one in our Iwagakure Village who has advanced."

"Come on, we have to make it to the semi-finals at least. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing for our Iwagakure Village."

In the other box, Luo Sha looked at his son Kankuro in the arena and no longer had any expectations.

This guy Kanjiurou, why did he have to learn puppetry instead of anything else? I don’t know what’s so good about those broken puppets. Those three broken puppets cost him nearly 10 million taels of money.

I don't understand what's so special about puppets. Generally speaking, puppets are prepared for those ninjas who have little ninja talent and are not good at ninjutsu and illusion. So far, there have only been three ninjas with powerful puppetry in the entire Sand Village.

The second generation Kazekage Shamon, Granny Chiyo, and the missing genius puppeteer Scorpion of the Red Sand.

This profession not only burns money, but also has a lot of flaws.

There was no way around it. When Kankuro was a child, he was busy panning for gold in the desert all day. At that time, Chiyo's grandson Scorpion happened to be missing, so she asked Chiyo to help take care of Kankuro for a while.

And then, he became what he is now, a nerdy ninja obsessed with puppets.

Now that I think about it, among my three children, only Gaara inherited my ability to control sand...

Alas... How sad and lamentable...

With a "bang" and the sound of a signal gun, the game officially began.

Heitu stretched out his right foot and stomped on the ground!

"Earth Release - Earthen Bamboo Shoots."

From the front of the black soil under the feet, higher and higher earth thorns continued to emerge from the ground, growing wildly like bamboo shoots after rain.

Moreover, the arena itself was created by Yamato using earth jutsu mixed with a small amount of water jutsu chakra.

This is a naturally favorable environment for Kurotsuchi, a ninja who is good at using earth-style ninjutsu. Releasing earth-style ninjutsu can save a lot of chakra.

The earth spikes shot out directly from under Kanjuro's feet and attacked Kanjuro, trying to pierce him through.

Kankuro simply took off the shoulder strap with one hand, threw the puppet behind him to the side, and stood on the ground.

The moment the puppet was thrown out, the whole person retreated flexibly to the rear.

Kurotsuchi immediately seized the opportunity when Kankuro's body and the puppet separated, attached chakra to the soles of his feet, and rushed forward.

"In order to avoid ninjutsu, you actually abandoned the puppet to speed up your own actions?"

"Weak close combat ability is your puppeteer's biggest weakness."

"I won this one!"

Kurotsuchi rushed in front of Kanjuro, clenched his right fist, and punched Kanjuro directly on the chest.

But at this moment, Heitu felt something was wrong, and his hand felt wrong.

How could the human body be so hard? It felt like I was hammering directly into the surface of something hard.

Kurotsuchi immediately realized what Kankuro had intended by throwing out the puppet, and tried to retreat.

But at this moment, the bandages of the puppet on the side began to fall directly from the opening, and the chakra lines spreading from the ten flexible fingers were connecting to the "Kankurō" who had just been hit by Kurotsuchi.

"Can't the ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village tell the difference between puppets and puppeteers?"

"What a naive fellow."

"One cough, crow!"

The camouflage on "Kankurō" turned into sand and fell to the ground. A strange-looking humanoid puppet with three eyes and four arms turned into a four-handed overlord and launched a crazy attack on Kurotsuchi.

The crow and the black soil immediately started fighting with each other.

After a few moves, Heitu seized the opportunity and knocked the crows away with one punch. After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.

The opponent only has one puppet on his back, and a normal puppeteer can only control one puppet.

Instead of cutting off the chakra lines connecting the puppet first, it is better to take this opportunity to attack its body and end the battle quickly!

Then he rushed directly towards Kankuro.

At this moment, Kankuro suddenly bent the five fingers of his right hand, and the crow parts scattered behind Heitu seemed to turn into ghosts and floated in the air again. A cold light immediately emerged from the joints of the limbs and the head, with a purple poisonous solution still on it, and pierced directly from behind Heitu!

The movement of the puppet behind him immediately made Heitu realize how vicious and cruel the profession of puppeteer was.

He pulled out a kunai from the ninja tool bag tied to the right side of his thigh and cut off the chakra strings connecting the puppet's arms and head.

Then he picked up the crow's head, which looked somewhat eerie and scary, from the ground.

"Your puppet is useless now, surrender."

"This little thing looks pretty unique."

Just when Kurotsuchi felt that he had won, Kankuro looked at the somewhat naive guy in front of him and felt a little speechless.

Suddenly! A cloud of purple poisonous mist spurted out of the crow's mouth and sprayed onto Heitu's face.

The sudden attack of poisonous fog caught her off guard and she inhaled a lot of it.

Kankuro silently took out the other two hidden scrolls from behind him.

"It's true that most puppeteers only have one puppet, but I'm not an ordinary puppeteer."

"Come out! Ants, salamanders!"

Another bull-headed puppet and a giant salamander puppet appeared in front of Kankuro.

At this moment, Kurotsuchi only felt weak all over his body, dizzy, his limbs began to feel cold, his stomach felt nauseous, and he wanted to vomit. Even his chakra became disordered at this moment. He raised his hand and tremblingly raised his middle finger towards Kankuro.

"You puppet masters are so despicable!"

Kankuro smiled, as if he had heard something complimentary.

"Ninjas always operate in secret, and we puppeteers are the darkest and most vicious among all ninjas."

"Thank you so much for the compliment."

Next, Kurotsuchi forced himself to hold on for a while and launched several attacks on Kankuro.

But they were all stopped by the two puppets, the Salamander and the Ant.

Eventually, the poison spread throughout his body and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Hayate declared Kankuro's victory, and the medical staff came to take Kurotsuchi away. Kankuro handed the antidote to the medical staff.

As for Ōnoki, his eyes were red as he looked at Kankuro angrily, muttering something like "this is a despicable, shameless and hateful boy from Sand Village".

Luo Sha looked at the victorious Kankuro and felt a little surprised.

"Can you win this?"

"Ohnoki's granddaughter is completely different from him. Why does she feel... a little too naive..."
