Chapter 119 A sudden turn of events
"what happened?"
Aburame Shino wanted to mobilize chakra to command the parasitic insects to expel the poison, but she was a little unable to do so. There was not much chakra left, and the parasitic insects also killed and injured many people, so they would be useless for a while.
Daimaru, who was tied to the tree, smiled and waited for the invisible hands to untie him, then stood up unsteadily.
"You shouldn't be able to move, or even use chakra!"
"This is it!"
Daimaru spared his head and didn't know where to explain it. Moreover, he was too professional in puppetry knowledge and it felt too bad to tell others casually.
"It's like heart bypass surgery...you don't understand? Even coronary artery transplantation...you don't understand?"
Daimaru sighed. It was difficult to talk to laymen.
"Forget it, no more explanation, just think that I just temporarily opened a temporary channel for my chakra meridians at key locations!"
"Is this possible?"
Hinata Hinata asked in disbelief, how could the proud family secret technique be cracked in this way?
"It's not easy! But for a puppet master who is proficient in human body structure, it's not difficult. Otherwise, where would those various combat puppets come from!"
It's not like recasting a chakra circulation system. This is too difficult. It is probably more difficult than cloning a person or making a human puppet. This already involves the restricted area of the essence of life.
However, it shouldn't be too difficult to tinker with the existing chakra system. A skilled medical ninja or an intruder puppet master can do it. Just like Chiyo, transforming an entire arm and reshaping the chakra flow circuit of the meridians is considered the pinnacle of performance.
Daimaru, who is young, will certainly not stab himself casually.
Through Daimaru's loose collar, Aburame Shino saw something like a puppet master's facial pattern extending from Daimaru's neck into his clothes, probably all over his body.
"The facial pattern of the puppet master is more than just decoration, right?"
"It's great that you noticed it, young man!"
Daimaru glanced at the curious Konoha insect user,
"I don't know what other puppet masters are like, but I prefer to use puppets as tools to extend my own strength, rather than just weapons, for example..."
Collecting the scattered parts of the stand-in puppet, Daimaru did not have the energy to repair it for the time being.
Later, he cleaned the petite doll that was stained with a lot of dirt and put it on his shoulder again.
Immediately, a small, but for the current Daimaru, chakra that was already precious flowed from the doll into Daimaru's body.
Hinata Hinata, who is particularly sensitive to chakra, could immediately see through the reality through her Byakugan.
"Replenish chakra?"
"Have you been discovered? As expected of me..."
Daimaru smiled indifferently,
"It's just to store your own chakra in case of emergencies..."
The amount of energy is extremely limited, and it doesn't last long. Not to mention the Yin Seal, it can't even compare to the Bingliang Pill.
Most puppet masters would store some chakra into their puppets, but so far, Daimaru had never seen one use puppets to feed themselves.
"Because my qualifications are not good, and I don't want to do anything to myself and make me look like a human or a ghost, so I really need external help to assist me. It's natural to find a way on the puppet."
From the beginning, Daimaru's path as a puppet master was different from others.
While most puppet masters neglect improving their own strength for the sake of puppets, Daimaru has long regarded puppets as an auxiliary tool to improve their own strength.
As for this, it is difficult for Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka, who have parasites and ninja dogs as their fighting partners, to understand Daimaru's thoughts.
"However, you are really big-hearted. You have become meat on the chopping board. You don't need to pay attention to my affairs! Aren't you afraid that I will tear you into pieces?"
Daimaru took out his kunai and picked up Akamaru, whose fur was burnt black.
"I'm just a little hungry. This ninja dog looks a bit small, but it still has a lot of meat. Let's grill it. It should taste good."
As Daimaru spoke, he used kunai to shave the dog hair off Akamaru's body.
"You bastard, do you have the guts to come after me?"
Inuzuka Kiba yelled loudly, eyes wide open as he watched the unconscious Akamaru suffer inhuman treatment.
"Wait a minute. I haven't forgotten the punishment of Rao Tichi. I will 'entertain' you well later. Don't worry..."
"Aren't you afraid of revenge when you do this kind of thing?"
Inuzuka Kiba threatened,
"This is Konoha Village, someone will come at any time..."
"I know!"
Daimaru turned the kunai indifferently with his fingers.
"Because of this, you are still alive... Or rather, what you are experiencing now has not given you any inspiration? I spared you once at that time. I really thought it was because of your strong resistance to poisons that I made the poisonous smoke Not violent enough?"
As he spoke, Daimaru squinted his eyes and looked at the several Konoha ninjas who were being slaughtered.
"Do you know that there are many things in this world that are not toxic at first, but when mixed together, they become very deadly poisons. The poisonous smoke before was just an appetizer, but now the mixture in your body is troublesome. Don't think that it is just Are you taking it lightly when your whole body is paralyzed, there is no pain, and you can even speak?"
"You mean?"
Rock Lee struggled to get up, but he couldn't do anything as he had no strength left.
"You're a little better than them. You're just out of strength and old injuries have recurred."
Because they were not hit by the first round of poison like the eighth team of Konoha genin, they were fine, but others were not so lucky.
"Later, you will slowly lose all consciousness and leave this world without pain, but..."
Daimaru put down Akamaru, who had become smooth in his hand, and after walking closer, he helped Hinata Hinata up in his free time, brushed the dirt off her head, and dusted off her clothes.
"Even if a girl is about to die, she still has to look pretty. It's not okay to be so dirty! Also, thank you for being merciful just now. The soft fist did not aim at vital parts such as the heart, otherwise I would have been in a very difficult position..."
Then, he squatted in front of Inuzuka Kiba and patted his shoulder.
"Although you said it in a ferocious tone, you didn't actually hurt me! It's so childish and kind to be punished by itching. Think about it more next time! It seems that you haven't even touched the edge of Ninja Road, and you just muddle along as a person. The ninja, it's easy, it doesn't seem to mean much! By the way, you are about to die, and it's too late to do anything, what a pity!"
Finally, there’s Aburame Shino.
"He's a good guy, except for his physical skills! It's a pity that we are enemies now..."
