Chapter 1027

Getting closer and closer. Having long since sensed the other's approach, the Leaf Anbu to the right front chose a secret wind-release ninjutsu with sufficient preparation time and power, striving to seize the advantage at the very first moment of contact.

An invisible vibrating blade—this was a ninjutsu far more powerful than Wind Cutter. Its power lay not only in cutting objects, for after striking a human body it would cause wounds extremely difficult to heal, and its terrifying, oppressive effect was of great help to the Leaf Anbu's interrogation work. Hence this ninjutsu had always been taught only within the Sand Anbu.

"No good, dodge!" Watching the enemy draw ever nearer, Rasa suddenly sensed something was wrong and shouted a warning.

The Anbu's ninjutsu had already been unleashed, aimed straight ahead. The killing power of the Saw-Cutting Art was three times that of Wind Cutter, and its speed likewise three times. Past experience told him that even if the enemy wasn't torn to shreds, they would lose the ability to move—it was bound to hit!

And indeed it was so. The "Saw-Cutting Art" struck the human puppet directly, yet the next instant, this ninjutsu was bounced back completely intact!

Thanks to Sasori's modification and refinement, this prototype—a defensive device originally suited only to resist enemy ninjutsu—had gained a new use. Powered by senjutsu chakra that completely transcended ordinary chakra, the reflection device had been upgraded into a reflection shield capable of eroding and rebounding ninjutsu. This innovation in puppet technique was something the Sand Village, or indeed anyone, had never seen at all!
