The duel with Sasori escalates into a contest of puppet mastery as Chiyo answers his hundred-strong army with a legendary set of her own. Growing bored with the drawn-out struggle, the puppet master braces to end both of his opponents.
Main Characters (3)
Summary
Sakura snatches Sasori mid-lunge before he can close on Chiyo and hauls him back toward herself. A single punch scatters his body, but because he is himself a puppet, he simply reassembles. Realizing this foe will not go down easily, Chiyo salvages an arm from a fallen puppet to stand in for the limb she lost.
Key Events
Chiyo then deploys the Chikamatsu Collection, guiding one puppet from each of her fingers. Sasori acknowledges the skill, yet counters by revealing that his own puppet frame lets him direct a full hundred at once. Irritated that the clash has stretched on so long, he sets himself to finish Chiyo and Sakura for good.
