"What kind of tecniques was that?" Pakura was in disbelief. Was such terrifying power truly a tecniques that humans could control? "Heh." Kyohiko gave a faint smile. As a shadow clone, he naturally didn’t know the exact situation on site, but judging from the terrifying fluctuation just now, it seemed to have involved the use of a pressure point technique. He had a theory before. The power of the Five Forbidden Gateways was immense, so what kind of power would it be if the five corresponding "gates" were directly destroyed through those pressure points? From what he could see now, the main body seemed to have succeeded. However. This kind of technique didn’t have much meaning. Those who could be killed by a pressure point technique could also be killed with a single slash of a sword. For those who couldn’t be killed by a pressure point technique, using such a forbidden method might instead make the opponent stronger, ultimately leading to them being counter-killed or their companions. Therefore, Kyohiko only dared to use it on Suikazan Fuguki. This person wasn’t very strong; without Samehada, he was probably just an average Jonin. With the pressure point technique to restrict his full abilities, the losses should be kept within a controllable range. Of course. Even if it wasn’t controllable, he could use a method similar to Flying Thunder God Guiding Thunder to directly teleport Suikazan Fuguki to the sea. The consumption might be greater, but there would still be no danger. However, he truly hadn’t expected it to cause such a huge commotion. Pakura knew that since the other party didn’t intend to tell her, asking further would be meaningless. Moreover. She wanted to know even more: "What are you going to do with me?" Escaping was impossible. The other party’s strength far exceeded hers, and she was probably already marked with a Space-Time Nintecniques seal, so there was nowhere to run. Furthermore, even if she escaped, she wouldn’t know where to go for a while. "Guess." "..." Pakura said nothing more. Anyway, it was unlikely that the other party would spend so much effort just to take her away and kill her. That would be pointless; at most, they would capture her for research, and in that case... At most, she would just lose her Scorch Release. There was no one else in Sunagakure who could cultivate Scorch Release. A moment later, the two sides converged. The figure standing beside Pakura vanished, and Pakura was stunned for a second before realizing that the one who had been fighting earlier was Kyohiko himself, and the one who had subdued her just now was a shadow clone. She was speechless for a moment. Several seconds later, Pakura sighed softly: "Your strength has become even more terrifying. The current you can only be matched by Kage-level shinobi in the Five Great Shinobi Villages." "It’s alright, there are still many flaws." Kyohiko understood, though. While his abilities were strong, perhaps only his offensive capabilities were stronger and more comprehensive than Minato’s, allowing him to handle more enemies. His current strength was still limited, and there were still many people in the shinobi world he couldn’t defeat. At the very least, his strength was still far from that of figures like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, and unfortunately, Uchiha Madara was the biggest mastermind. It wasn’t time to celebrate yet. "Let’s go, let’s head back to the Land of Fire first." "What about her?" "I used a pressure point technique earlier, but to prevent her chakra from recovering, just to be safe, you all should stay away from me." Kyohiko smiled. Pakura’s ability couldn’t be countered by others, but he could counter it now. He had Samehada in his hand. Samehada was different from the other six swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen; it was a living creature with its own thoughts and preferences. At this moment, Kyohiko could clearly feel its joy. It really liked his chakra. With Samehada and his own ability, if Pakura really wanted to unleash her chakra, he could immediately absorb her chakra and eliminate the danger. Pakura was speechless for a moment. This guy truly covered all bases, not giving her a single chance. She endured the pain and said, "If you want me to live, shouldn’t you first help me heal the muscles in my legs and feet?" "Of course, but..." Kyohiko was about to speak when he suddenly glanced to his back and to the side. Kakashi had fought alongside Kyohiko the longest and knew him best. Such an unusual expression from him usually indicated that he sensed an enemy. Or, he had perceived an unusual situation. The tacit understanding between them went without saying. They continued forward, but subtly, they had already swapped places with shadow clones, and their figures had burrowed through the earth towards that direction. However. Midway, Kyohiko emerged from the earth. "No need to chase." "Got away?" "Puppet tecniques, I know who it was." Kyohiko didn’t pursue further. That kind of aura and sound was very unique; it was unlikely to be an ordinary ninja, but rather more like a puppet tecniques. And possessing such mastery of puppet tecniques... There weren’t many in the entire Sunagakure. Or rather, there weren’t many in the entire shinobi world, and only Sasori of the Red Sand was likely to have the free time to wander around like that. "Sasori of the Red Sand, huh? So, should we go take a look?" Kakashi, following Kyohiko’s line of thought, also guessed the other party’s identity. It could only be him. "Can’t catch him, he’s already gone." Even with the Chakra Sensing Technique, Sasori’s presence couldn’t be tracked at this moment. Sasori, having left Sunagakure, had become stronger and more comprehensive. Of course. It was also possible... The current Sasori of the Red Sand was no longer truly human, but had become a half-human, half-puppet existence. Kyohiko sighed inwardly, and then thought— "The ninjas of Kirigakure might be in trouble." "Possibly." Kakashi nodded in agreement. Puppet masters might be somewhat average in direct combat and are countered by many fighting styles, but a puppet master with preparation and traps is absolutely formidable. Especially without a teammate like Kyohiko who is good at sensing and listening. If Sasori of the Red Sand set up his traps cleverly, it wouldn’t be difficult to ambush the Kirigakure ninja, but upon closer thought, he felt that Sasori’s original intention wasn’t for the Kirigakure ninja. "His original target must have been Pakura, right?" "Probably." Kyohiko nodded. If he were Sasori of the Red Sand, he wouldn’t waste time on these small fry; he would definitely go collect various kekkei genkai ninja. "Let’s go, we won’t bother with Kirigakure’s affairs. Let’s go back to the Land of Fire first." The next moment, the shadow clone disappeared. On a cliff by the distant sea, Sasori, hidden within a barrier, let out a long sigh of relief. Although he considered himself the top puppet master in the world, the other party was also a top expert from Konoha, skilled in speed. In fact— Sasori of the Red Sand had never met Hatake Sakumo, only knowing that Sakumo had killed his parents, but he had personally witnessed Kyohiko’s power. That terrifying tecniques, was it more like some kind of experiment? Sasori pondered. The situation at the time was complex, and he couldn’t see it very clearly; he relied more on his senses and puppet observations, only catching a glimpse of the situation. From the current situation. Ryoho Kyohiko’s strength had improved significantly compared to before. "Konoha." "Each generation has top-tier geniuses, truly a terrifying village!" Sasori of the Red Sand was silent for several seconds, then turned his gaze back to the present. He used Earth Release to dig out a cave, where corpses lay scattered, and the stench of blood filled the narrow space of the cave. However. He felt nothing at all as he moved back and forth among the corpses, skillfully creating human puppets one by one.
