In a mist-covered forest where visibility was at its lowest, explosions rang out as three people were fighting in this zero visibility zone.
Sasori after realizing he was fighting with Shinobi from the the Hidden Mist, didn't plan to hold back anymore. If they were just any thug then it was fine, however, any shinobi from one of the hidden villages are formidable in their own rights.
In his short exchange with them he could tell that they were almost Jonin rank, this could be dangerous as he wasn't just fighting one but two Jonin at the same time.
So he didn't hold back anymore, taking out a scroll he unsealed his master creation, the puppet of the third Kazekaze. He was the one who killed the third Kazekage and turned him into his puppet.
But as if that wasn't enough, he also took out many exploding tags and blasted them around him. Even puppet masters have no way to fight if their vision is hindered. So to figure out where those Kiri shinobi were hiding, he blasted those exploding tags all around him.
Unlike Sasori though, both Haku and Suigetsu are very well diverse when it comes to fighting in low visibility. Just like Zabuza and Shika, both could fight even if they were blindfolded.
They easily dodge the explosions and directly rush at Sasori. Suigetsu took the role of the close combat and tank.
"Finally, here comes the daddy..." Suigetsu laughed as he swung a giant sword towards Sasori.
Sasori almost got hit due to the sword's long range. 'Kobikiribocho...' Sasori knew all the seven swords of the mist, and of course, he identified the sword Suigetsu or King was using.
This further solidified his belief that these shinobi were from Kiri.
Suigetsu on the other hand was having a blast, Haku for this fight alone agreed to lend him this sword and he gonna cherish it.
Maniacally he swung the sword to hit Sasori but the puppet master himself was a puppet and his moves were unnatural. Even if his body were to detach or cut he could easily join it back together.
As long as his heart wasn't destroyed, he wouldn't die. In this case, he was a little similar to Kakuzu.
He dodged all the attacks from Suigetsu, making the white hair body a little mad, he finally got this sword only for this guy to run away and not fight him directly.
Haku on the other hand wasn't wasting time either, he started making hand signs, and the water around them started to condense and turn into ice. Ice particlars collected and soon it formed a giant ice dragon which ran towards Sasori.
The puppet master was getting used to fighting in zero visibility, in a situation where he couldn't even see Suigetsu clearly in front of him when he was less than an inch apart, fighting was hard. But still, he somehow managed.
He even fought back with Suigetsu sometimes, deflecting his sword and even attacking him, so many times he thought that his attack would connect but they never did. Little did he know that his attacks were connecting, he just wasn't able to see that Suigetsu was from the Hozuki clan and could use Hydrification to turn his body into water.
Almost all physical attacks at him were rendered useless.
And that was when a roar came, Sasori's eyes widened. A giant ice dragon was moving towards him. On the other hand, Suigetsu clicked his tongue, annoyed at Haku ruining his fun time but he backed off after seeing the ice dragon.
Shika long let others know of their assigned team to the point they even got time to practice together and build teamwork. That's why Suigetsu was very well aware of this Ice Dragon and knowing that he might be dragged into the attack so he backed off, making his own hand signs in the process.
Suigetsu too knew jutsu but he liked using close-combat swordsmanship more. Here he was using it becuase they had to overwhelm Sasaori as much as possible from the get-go, Shika explicitly said not to give him time.
Sasori had many hidden cards, to the extent even Shika wasn't aware of what more Sasori was hiding, so in this case it was better to just not let the man use those tricks, don't give him time to pull something out.
Which was a vice decision, Sasori had hundreds of puppets in his arsenal, and the mist was a way to counter that many clones, without visibility it would be impossible to handle that many puppets.
As Sasori dodged the Ice dragon and was about to use the puppet of the Third Kazekage to destroy the dragon, three water bullets were shot towards him from a different direction, making him use his puppet as a shield instead and he confronted the Ice dragon himself.
"Pesky Kiri Shinobi." Sasori cursed under his breath, if he knew this gonna happen then he might not have asked to fight both of them together.
But he wasn't out of options, far from it, his greatest creation was great for a reason after all. He moved his fingers and pushed chakra into his puppets and soon the third Kagekaze's puppets moved and iron dust started to come out of the puppet.
There is a reason why Sasori was one of the greatest puppet masters of all time, even after he made the third Kagekaze into his puppet, that puppet was able to retain his bloodline limit. This was the Iron release.
Iron dust formed a wall of iron in front of him and the charging Ice Dragon, giving him enough time to use his other moves.
Taking out a scroll from his chest he opened it and from inside came out three hundred of his puppets which he created in his entire life.
The entire area was covered with puppets and though Sasori couldn't use them to fight becuase of the visibility, he could use them to defend himself until he took down the shinobi who used the mist release.
So he did exactly that, he blocked the side where the ice dragon was coming at him and sent the third Kagekaze's puppet to hold back Suigetsu so he himself could go after Haku.
Only one problem though, Haku was fast, ridiculously fast when he had to. After noticing that his Ice dragon wasn't able to do anything to Sasori he showed that speed.
However, he didn't intercept Sasori though, Shika told him not to unless completely necessary, Sasori used poison and that was the exact reason why Shika chose someone like Suigetsu to fight in close combat with Sasori. Unless it is a poison cloud, no other poison will get inside Suigetsu's system.
So following that plan, Haku with all his speed went to intercept all those puppets which Suigetsu had a blast cutting down and replacing him. So Suigetsu goes after Sasori.
Third Kagekaze too by this time was able to get rid of the ice dragon and went back to Sasori. Once again the situation came down to what it was before.
Sasori was getting annoyed and losing patience while both Haku and Suigetsu's teamwork was impeccable.
Their plan was simple, tried out Sasori while making him fight two enemies at once until he found a way to dispel the mist. He won't be able to fight at his full capabilities until his vision is obstructed.
When and if he does dispel the mist, that is when both Haku and Suigetsu go all out. However, while inside the mist, slowly sips away all of his cards and especially takes care of the many puppets he had with him. If possible even the third Kagekaze's puppet as well.
...
"Done already? I thought you were taking me outside the land of fire at this rate." Deidara rolled his lone eye as he looked with annoyance at the masked man.
They came very far away just to fight, almost 10 kilometres or so. If he didn't know better then he might have even suspected this person to even know about his greatest art.
10 kilometres was the radius of his C0 bomb.
But it didn't matter, what he care wasn't about killing those other mask man but to show this person how powerful his art was.
"Yeah done, I believe this should be fine. However, if you think I have any trap hidden or anything you can choose the place from here on out. As soon as you are not bringing those explosions of yours closer where others are fighting, I'm fine..." Shika said nonchalantly.
"Tsk, let's see if you can maintain that calm nonchalance after I show my art to you." Deidara. Muttered with irritation.
*Boom...
And that was when an explosion took place, it shook the entire place and where Shika was standing before, the place was charred.
Deidara saw the explosion taking place and after making sure that the man didn't escape, he let out a disappointed sigh. He was expecting more from him.
Till now the man in front of him didn't show any power to him. He had no idea what kind of technique the other man had, so he was a little restrained.
He secretly put one of his smaller bombs to crawl towards the man and exploded to test him. However, to his surprise and disappointment, he died just like that.
'I came all the way here for nothing ?' He spat and was ready to go back when he heard this...
"Now now, I haven't said start yet..."
