Chapter 233 - 233 (2/2)

Kakashi reluctantly sighed. This wasn't the first time he saw someone traumatized by his father. He just wanted to explain that he wasn't his father, and had nothing to do with what he did in war, but he was interrupted by the sight of a blade flying towards Hiruko and injuring him!

Ryo immediately released his spiritual power, perceiving the surroundings, and his face immediately became gloomy.

In the distance, behind Hiruko, he could perceive the man who should be Sasori of the Red Sand. It seemed like he was ”hunting” Hiruko who was still alive!

”Kakashi, don't try to explain, the one behind him is going to kill him! Let's not interfere and just go!”

After saying that, Ryo turned around and left. Shisui and Kakashi still had their doubts, but they could only follow him.

As they stepped away, they heard a violent scream! It was Hiruko, killed by the 3rd Kazekage's puppet!

But Hiruko's death wasn't just enough, for Sasori noticed Kakashi as well! Both his parents were killed by Sakumo during the 2nd World War, so he wasn't going to let his son just walk away…

After collecting Hiruko's bleeding corpse, the 3rd Kazekage's puppet immediately chased Ryo's group.

Ryo did not want to kill Sasori so early, but he wasn't just going to late him reap Kakashi's soul. Helplessly, he said: ”Kakashi, Shisui, you should be very careful! This one behind us will not be easy to deal with!”

Hearing this, Kakashi's face changed greatly, for someone who could make Ryo so vigilant could only be Kage tier.

”Sensei, who's this person? Do you know him?” Shisui asked.

”I don't know him, but I can guess who he is; I think you've all heard of the Sand's Missing-Nin, Sasori of the Red Sand!”

Maki's body trembled in fear as she heard that name. Being a Sand Ninja herself, she was well familiar with the legend of Sasori, the man who's said to have enough mastery over the secret arts of puppetry to crush a country single handedly!

Soon, Sasori arrived before Ryo and the others, ignoring them all besides Kakashi at whom he stared saying: ”Hatake Kakashi, am I right? I'm adding you to my collection!”

Immediately after finishing his words, he controlled the 3rd's puppet to rush at Kakashi.

The puppet was moving too fast for Kakashi to see, and he had to instantly activate his Sharingan, and then block its first attack.

Naturally, that wasn't all that was coming. The 3rd's puppet condensed its iron sand into a massive spear that went straight towards Kakashi.

This formed a pattern, as the attack of the puppets and its Iron Sand weapons came in one after the other, overwhelming Kakashi. He could not fight back, and all he was able to do was to dodge as much as possible.

Even though the Sharingan was integrated into his body, it still consumed his Chakra quickly when activated. He gradually lost his physical power, and Ryo could no longer just watch.

The latter entered the Ice-Lightning Chakra Mode, and flickered before Sasori in an instant, severing the Chakra string between him and the puppet with his Ice Scalpel.

Ryo could only know how to precisely act just because he saw Sakumo dealing with Chiyo so many times before.

The 3rd Kazekage's puppet lost its Chakra support, and the Iron Sand weapons disintegrated and fell to the ground!
