Chapter 536: Wind Domain (2)
Puppet Masters were generally known for having one weakness. That weakness was close combat. If someone good at Taijutsu got close to them, they could defeat them easily without letting the Puppet Master use their puppets.
However, there was another critical weakness that Puppet Masters had which wasn't generally mentioned due to the difficulty in exploiting it. That was the very chakra threads that they used to control the puppets. If those chakra threads were severed, they would lose control over the puppets and would be left vulnerable without their greatest strength.
Destroying the chakra threads wasn't very difficult either as it was just normal chakra and not some indestructible thread. While an experienced Puppet Master could ensure that the threads didn't break against an AoE attack, if the threads were specifically targeted, they would still break.
Of course, that was easier said than done as the puppets would be used to block such attempts. And even if you succeeded, the Puppet Master could just create new chakra threads and connect to the Puppet once more.
When Sasori's chakra threads were destroyed, he did the exact same thing. In less than a second, he created more chakra threads to connect to the puppets. Unfortunately for him, Fujin's Wind Domain was the perfect counter to chakra threads. Even before the chakra threads reached his puppets, they were severed by more blades of wind that appeared out of thin air.
Sasori cursed, 'What the hell is this ability? And who is the one controlling that chakra? Is it one of Orochimaru's subordinates or are some other forces present in this town?'
Despite not knowing the answer to those questions, Sasori didn't stop. There were more than 60 puppets trapped inside the Wind Domain. It was more than a fourth of his puppet collection that he had been working on for over a decade.
Sasori repeatedly attempted to take control of his puppets but failed each time. The Wind Domain, which was only around the mansion like a dome, began extending in Sasori's direction.
Sasori observed, 'It's like a branch extending from that dome. Whoever it is, should be inside that dome. Regardless, what does he want to achieve by extending that chakra here? Does he think that he can defeat me without even showing his face? Or is he up to something else?' Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Sasori wasn't someone who'd lose control of his emotions just due to his opponents' words or actions. However, he hadn't ever been insulted to such a degree before. Even then, he patiently waited to see what his mysterious opponent was up to. In a minute, the Wind Domain had extended all the way from the mansion to Sasori who was standing outside the town.
Winds began moving at a rapid speed and took the form of a Dragon. Sasori wondered, 'The Wind Dragon jutsu? So this chakra can be used to create Wind jutsus other than Blades of Wind jutsu. Still, this Wind Dragon As I thought'
As Sasori observed the Wind Dragon, he realized that it wasn't a normal Wind Dragon. Instead, it contained several dozen blades of wind inside it. In a sense, it was a deadly combination of two Wind jutsus.
The Wind Dragon suddenly dived towards Sasori. Sasori immediately took a defensive posture and extended Hiroku's tail forward while thinking, 'Those wind blades might work against normal puppets. However, it is useless against Hiroku's defenses.'
Fujin emitted more chakra into the air. The wind dragon disappeared as the attack took the majority of the wind chakra in that area. The iron wall was able to withstand the assault and no wind blades reached Sasori. However, Sasori was still perplexed.
Instead of a new Dragon forming, the Wind Domain continuously extended in his direction. Sasori retreated while analyzing, 'If I enter that area, then he can form wind blades at will. I will lose control over the puppet once again. I need to attack the one who is controlling this wind.'
Sasori got out of the path of the wind domain that was extending like a branch and began moving towards the town at a fast speed. Fujin's Wind Domain didn't have any chance of catching up with him.
Fujin sensed his movements and a smile appeared on his face as he thought, 'In Akatsuki, Sasori is one of the most dangerous members. If I ignore the ones with Dojutsu, I'd say that Sasori is the most dangerous one even though Kisame and maybe Kakuzu are stronger. Unfortunately for him, my Wind Domain is the perfect counter for a Puppet Master. It makes him one of the easiest Akatsuki members to deal with for me!'
Immediately, another branch extended out of the Wind Domain. However, it wasn't moving towards Sasori but instead was quite far from him. While the first branch that had extended began cutting off Sasori's retreat. Instead of confronting Sasori directly, Fujin attempted to trap him inside the Wind Domain!
Understanding his intentions, Sasori immediately retreated once again. Fujin chuckled as he muttered to himself, 'What a shame. I thought that he wanted to gift me the Third Kazekage puppet as well.'
