**************
Boom!
As Deidara's voice fell, the explosive clay he released detonated.
Huge rubble fell as the cave's dome was blown open, allowing a large beam of sunlight to shine in.
The giant clay bird beneath Deidara spread its wings and soared high, with Gaara's body held in its beak.
"[Thunder Spear]!" Colt clapped his hands together, and two lightning spears emerged from thin air, crackling with deep purple arcs.
He aimed at both Deidara's bird and Sasori who remained standing there.
"So fast!" Deidara's pupils constricted as he desperately tried to maneuver the giant clay bird.
But it still got pierced through the wing, losing its balance.
Sasori, inside Hiruko, raised his tail and leaped high, narrowly dodging the attack.
Seeing the giant bird about to fall, Deidara grinned strangely.
"I won't play with you anymore! Sasori, this is my true art!"
"Katsu!"
Deidara's body turned into a mass of clay, and the giant bird began to swell, light starting to emanate from it.
"Watch out for the explosion!" Kakashi quickly shielded Naruto and Temari behind him, activating his Sharingan just in case.
"Damn you, Deidara! I'm still here!" Sasori cursed angrily as Hiruko curled into a ball.
Colt frowned slightly.
As expected, the Akatsuki members all had tricks up their sleeves.
In fact, long before he entered the cave, Deidara and Sasori had noticed the terrifying fluctuations outside.
Having lost an arm and much of his clay in the battle at Sunagakure, and then participating in the sealing of the One-Tail, Deidara's current state was quite poor.
Sasori, on the other hand, hadn't exerted himself much, and puppet masters tended to conserve their chakra well.
The two had already discussed their countermeasures, leaving Sasori in charge of the breakout while Deidara would rely on his mobility to escape.
Boom!
A blue Susanoo appeared, keeping all the clay explosions at bay.
It wielded a sword, and directly swung destroying the entire enclosed space.
The real Deidara also appeared before everyone and swiftly ran away into the distance.
"Give Gaara back!" Naruto shouted as he rushed out of the cave.
"Kakashi-sensei, follow the plan," Colt said.
Feeling a bit worried, he created another Shadow Clone to follow Kakashi and Temari who were starting to follow after Naruto.
"You be careful too," Kakashi said before following up with Temari and Colt's Shadow Clone.
Looking at the huge Susanoo, fear flashed in Sasori's eyes.
Hiruko's mechanism opened and Sasori's body emerged. At this point, Hiruko could no longer provide him with any sense of security.
Wearing the Akatsuki's signature cloak, with cherry blossom-colored hair and a handsome face devoid of expression - who would have thought that Sasori, who had become famous more than a decade ago, still looked like a teenager?
Colt's face grew solemn.
This was also the first existence he had encountered that rivaled him in terms of handsomeness.
[Yasaka Magatama]!
A couple of magatama beads were thrown by the Susanoo.
This was one of the Susanoo's standard techniques, but that didn't mean it was weak.
Sasori's eyes narrowed.
A scroll appeared in his hand and quickly unrolled, instantly summoning a puppet.
[Magnet Release: Iron Sand Defense]!
A large amount of iron sand spewed from the puppet's mouth, forming a huge cube in front of Sasori.
After a series of crashing explosions, the iron sand was abruptly smashed, but the Yasaka Magatama was also nullified.
"As expected of the technique of the strongest Kazekage of his time, the Third Kazekage. The defense is truly terrifying," Colt sighed in admiration.
He couldn't understand how this defense could be blasted away with one punch by Sakura in the original timeline.
"I didn't expect you to recognize the Third Kazekage at such a young age," Sasori said, a little
surprised.
He had originally intended to explain, but now it seemed unnecessary.
Another scroll behind him also emerged. In the blink of an eye, the space was occupied by hundreds of puppets amidst a large cloud of white smoke.
"Kamiyo Colt, your strength is incredible even to me. But that's precisely why you have value as a puppet, right?"
Chakra threads shot out from Sasori's chest as he began to manipulate a hundred puppets at once. At the same time, his hands weren't idle, controlling the Third Kazekage to re-condense the iron sand, while he waited for an opportunity.
This was his strongest form. A hundred puppets for melee attacks, the Third Kazekage for long-range assistance, and his own body holding other ninjutsu trump cards.
Colt dispersed the Susanoo.
Although its attack power was strong, its speed was somewhat lacking.
The white light wings behind him shot out countless feathers, and his body turned into
afterimages!
Boom!
One punch smashed the nearest puppet. Sasori's pupils constricted as he controlled all the puppets to launch a siege attack.
But Colt's speed was too fast. Every time he moved, he seemed to disappear as if teleporting and another puppet would be blasted with a punch.
The battle quickly approached Sasori's body.
[Magnet Release: Iron Sand Wall]!
A solid wall made of iron sand once again protected Sasori, but this time it didn't even hold
for a second before being smashed into the sky.
Crack!
Sasori's body was also shattered by Colt, and the hundred puppets behind him seized the
opportunity.
Countless kunais, shurikens, and various other weapons greeted him.
"[Massive Rasengan]!"
Spinning around, an incomparably huge chakra sphere destroyed dozens of puppets and
weapons.
[Flamethrower]!
Sasori, who had transferred his core to another puppet, revealed two small holes in his palms.
Boom!
Two streams of incredibly hot flames spewed from his palms.
Colt raised his hand.
"[Wind Release: Gale Palm]!"
A swirling gust of wind appeared and resisted the two flames.
Colt increased his chakra output and directly pushed the flames back.
Sasori's situation wasn't good, so he attempted to change bodies again.
However, Colt would no longer give him this chance.
The moment Sasori's core flew out, he had already tracked its trajectory.
[Kaminari] transformed into a flying sword, precisely striking an inconspicuous puppet and
nailing it firmly to the wall.
The chakra threads linking the Third Kazekage and the rest of the remaining puppets disappeared instantly, and they fell to the ground one after another.
"How did you find out?" Sasori's face was full of disbelief.
Each of his puppets had a unique core receiving device inside.
The speed of the transfer was so fast that even Pain could hardly notice it.
Colt walked slowly in front of him, suddenly remembering what Itachi had once said, and
spoke imitating him.
"Any technique is worthless before my eyes"
"Try all the jutsus you wish, but my eyes can see through all of them"
