Chapter 309 Kana is ready to fight!
"boom--!!!"
The puppet codenamed King Kong, with its remaining left arm whistling through the air, swung with overwhelming force toward Samui, who had just unleashed his lightning technique.
The speed and power of this attack completely exceeded the limits that an ordinary Chunin could react to.
"There's no escaping it!"
Samui's short, golden hair was blown backward by the strong wind, and her icy blue pupils suddenly contracted.
Just now, in order to compress the Lightning Release chakra to the extreme, there was a brief vacuum in her chakra, and her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
She could only watch helplessly as the enormous alloy blade rapidly magnified in her field of vision.
"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"
At the critical moment, Kisame Hoshigaki appeared instantly beside Samui.
He quickly formed hand seals, and a wall of high-pressure water, thicker than before and even gleaming with a deep blue luster, rose from the ground and blocked Sam's way.
"boom!"
The alloy blade slammed into the water wall, unleashing a deafening roar and splashing water everywhere.
"It...it blocked it?" Shirasa swallowed hard, gripping her kunai tightly with nervousness.
"Click."
However, Kisame's expression was not good.
The high-pressure water wall, under the pure power of the Vajra, only lasted a few seconds before shattering with a roar.
The blade's momentum had not diminished; although most of its power had been weakened, it still struck heavily against Kisame's broadsword, which he had hastily held horizontally in front of his chest.
"Bang!"
Kisame felt a numbness in his arms, and his tiger's mouth instantly split open, splattering blood.
He flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into two thick tree trunks before finally coming to a stop, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Run! It's getting faster again!" Tsugami Hiroshi's voice changed.
Without the burden of his right arm, King Kong's actions became even more ferocious and irrational.
Its single, red-glowing eye was fixed on the five people who were running frantically. Each leap covered several meters, like a tireless metal cheetah.
"At this rate, we'll be caught up sooner or later!"
As Shirasa ran, she frantically threw explosive tags behind her, but the explosions did little more than snap a few trees; they did nothing to slow down Kongou's pace.
"Its outer shell is made of pressure-resistant metal, so the explosive tags are useless!" Tsugami Hiro calmly analyzed. "We must find a way to destroy its internal structure, or... cut off its power source!"
"Easy for you to say!" Samui retorted coldly, clutching his arm that had been scratched by the strong wind. "I can't even penetrate that outer shell, how am I supposed to cut off its power source?"
The fleeing group moved through the dense forest, their breathing growing heavier and heavier.
At the very front of the group, Kana Uzumaki, who was being pulled along by Nagisa Shirasa, was unusually quiet.
She didn't yell or cry like before.
Those eyes, usually full of cunning and energy, were now fixed intently on the relentlessly pursuing steel behemoth behind them.
"Brother Che once said... every machine has its own operating logic..."
"Orochimaru's puppets, no matter how tough they are, are still powered by chakra. The core must be the chakra battery that Mizuki improved..."
"No, it should be the battery pack. Only in this way can this puppet withstand such a high level of power consumption."
She recalled how, in order to escape Mizuki's pursuit of her homework at the Konoha Science Research Institute, she had sneaked into Nishikawa Tetsu's laboratory many times.
There, she saw the scattered blueprints and listened to Nishikawa Tetsu's half-joking, half-serious popular science explanations.
"Kana, look at this joint. While the machine is powerful, it doesn't have a meridian system like the human body. Its chakra is transported through these conductive metal wires and a core battery."
"As long as you can sense the nodes where chakra flows within its body, no matter how hard its outer shell is..."
"As long as we use sealing techniques to lock those nodes and cut off its chakra pathways, it'll be nothing but a pile of scrap metal."
Kana's pupils contracted slightly as her gaze swept quickly over the massive body of "King Kong".
"The node...where is the node...?"
"It lost its right arm, so its chakra flow must be rebalanced..."
"Just now, when it pulled itself out of the mud, the armor on its chest opened..."
"There! That's its core!"
Kana suddenly opened her eyes wide, and the complex sealing techniques flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
"Put me down!"
Kana suddenly shouted and struggled to jump off Shirasagi's grasp.
"Are you crazy?! Do you want to die?!" Shirasagi was startled and tried to grab her, but missed.
Chanel landed steadily on the ground. Instead of continuing to run away, she turned around and faced the mechanical monster that was charging towards her like a mountain crashing down.
"Little girl! Get out of the way!"
Kisame, who had just gotten up from the ground, couldn't help but shout out when he saw this scene, even though he was a cold-blooded Kirigakure ninja.
In this situation, the probability of them passing the level drops sharply if there is one less person.
"Believe me!"
Chanel's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a firmness and confidence that was far beyond her years.
She clasped her hands together abruptly, and a massive amount of Uzumaki clan chakra surged wildly within her body.
"Tsugami Hiro-neechan! Trip it with Earth Release! Left foot!"
Chanel shouted without turning her head.
Although Hiro Tsugami didn't know what this little girl from Konoha was up to, she chose to believe in her despite the dire situation, even if it meant being eliminated.
"Earth Release: Earthquake Core!"
Hiroshi Tsugami slapped the ground with both hands, accurately catching the position where Kongo's left foot was about to land.
"boom!"
The ground collapsed instantly, creating a deep crater.
As King Kong was sprinting at high speed, his left foot missed its mark, and his massive body inevitably tilted to the left, instantly shattering his balance.
"To maintain balance, it will definitely increase its core chakra output..."
Chanel stared intently at King Kong's chest, her large eyes filled with seriousness. She didn't want to be the one who held him back.
"Buzz—!"
Sure enough, to prevent falling, the armor on King Kong's chest cracked slightly again, and the red core light flickered, attempting to forcibly adjust its posture.
"Now!"
