After transforming, I became the wife of all Naruto fans.

Chapter 212 Support Arrives

"Hu-hu-"

Onoki was breathing heavily, his thin chest heaving violently, as if he were pulling a rotten bellows.

Mei Terumi, standing nearby, was in no better shape. Her beautiful blue strapless dress was completely soaked with sweat, sticking stickily to her extremely sensitive skin after being burned, making her very uncomfortable.

Around Mei Terumi and Onoki, the ground was covered with various ninjutsu marks, including charred, wind-cut, fire-burned, and water-eroded marks, and the corpses of several Jonin were scattered everywhere.

Clearly, these Jonin were reinforcements squeezed out from the battlefield by headquarters.

Unfortunately, even Jonin could only become expendable resources in the face of Pain's all-out attack!

Fortunately, the sacrifices of the Jonin were meaningful.

Thanks to the sacrifice of the Jonin, the Allied Shinobi Forces discovered that Pain's last ability to pull souls apart was also revealed, and the fact that Pain's vision could communicate with each other was discovered even earlier, after reinforcements arrived.

And there is...

Mei Terumi glanced at the bandage wrapped around Onoki's left arm, the result of a quick treatment by a girl named Sakura while the Jonin were buying time.

Although Onoki's left arm was still unable to exert force, after emergency treatment, his hand seals were no longer affected.

and……

"call--"

A sudden gust of wind, mixed with the moisture of the Land of Rain, blew in, bringing a rare refreshing breeze to the weary Onoki and Mei Terumi.

Whether it was Pain's imagination or not, he was already familiar with the smell of the rain country's moisture, but this time he actually smelled a trace of the pungent dust from the wind country.

"Smack." A sudden sensation of something scraping against his right cheek made Pain, the Hungry Ghost Path, instinctively touch his face.

After touching his face, he held out his hand in front of him and saw a rough grain of sand lying in his palm!

"Not good!" The moment Nagato saw the grain of sand, alarm bells rang in his mind. The Asura Path immediately rushed towards the Preta Path, while Pain prepared to unleash Shinra Tensei!

Even so, he was still a step too late!

Not far away, Temari, who had been gathering her strength for a while, unleashed her full power, and in front of her, a large amount of sand gushed out from the ground like a fountain.

"Combination Ninja Art: Dark Night Sandstorm!"

Facing the sand, Temari gritted her teeth, her slender, fair hands gripping the Three Star Fan tightly. Using her slender waist as the axis, she forcefully fanned out the Three Star Fan, and at the same time, her transformed chakra erupted like a volcano!

The next second, based on the sand created by Gaara, a sandstorm that made it impossible to see one's own hand in front of one's face instantly engulfed the Six Paths of Pain, as well as Mei Terumi and Onoki!

Pain's Shinra Tensei was just ready, and before he could release it, he found that all six of his perspectives were pitch black, and everywhere he looked was yellow sand, as if he had been caught in a sandstorm in the Land of Wind!

At the same time, at the feet of the Hungry Ghost Realm, under the cover of a mournful wind, the ravaged ground suddenly turned into a pool of yellow sand, and then exploded with a bang!

"Swish swish—"

Several dark figures emerged from the yellow sand, their clear target the Hungry Ghost Realm!

"Are they coming to the realm of hungry ghosts?!"

The Hungry Ghost Path looked solemn and quietly prepared the sealing technique to absorb the seal.

However, when the several dark figures approached, what appeared under the dim sandstorm was not a ninja from the Allied Forces, but a puppet with three eyes, four arms, and the word "crow" written on its chin!

Wielding bayonets protruding from the ends of its limbs, the crow charged madly toward the Hungry Ghost Realm!

On the exposed joint of the crow's arm, the Hungry Ghost Realm could see a full four burning explosive tags!

The fact that the Sand Ninja puppeteer could treat such a well-made puppet as a disposable item shows just how determined he was to kill him!

But to think that sacrificing just a puppet would replace the Preta Path, Nagato could only say that the attackers were far too naive.

Without giving the puppet a chance to act, Nagato manipulated the Animal Path to form hand seals again and slapped the gravelly ground with his palm!

"Bang!" The Hungry Ghost, with a disdainful expression, stepped out of the Spirit Communication Array of the Animal Realm!

However, the next second, two more dark figures attacked from above and below!

The Hungry Ghost Realm looked closely and saw the familiar three-eyed, four-armed figure in front of him. What could it be but the crow puppet from before?

The fact that a mere puppet could keep up with the spatial teleportation of a spirit was truly astonishing to Nagato.

But Nagato immediately realized that this was not the other one, because this crow did not have any burning explosive tags on its body. His decision to be on the safe side had been anticipated.

"Are you so determined to eradicate the hungry ghost realm?!"

Realizing this, the Hungry Ghost's eyes turned cold, and two sharp black rods slid out from his sleeves on the left and right.

As I said before, they're nothing but puppets.

Even if the Rinnegan's abilities don't work, Nagato is confident he can face attacks using only taijutsu.

Moreover, there is not only one Pain from the Hungry Ghost Realm here, but also one from the Animal Realm!

Similarly, a black rod slid out of its sleeve, and the Animal Path took the lead, heading towards the newly arrived puppet crow.

As for the Hungry Ghost Realm, they raised their black clubs to meet the puppet black ant that was crawling rapidly on four legs below the crow.

Even in the dim sandstorm, the pale purple Rinnegan still emitted a faint glow. Within the Rinnegan's field of vision, the chakra threads that the puppeteer used to control the puppet were clearly visible.

So the Hungry Ghost Path raised the black staff, preparing to use it as a throwing weapon to sever the puppet's chakra threads.

The black rod, being a specially crafted weapon, happens to be able to cut through chakra.

If nothing unexpected happens, Kankuro's puppet Black Ant will be paralyzed and immobile in the next instant.

Well, barring any unforeseen circumstances...

Before the Hungry Ghost Realm was summoned, the 'Puppet Raven' suddenly scattered into parts all over the ground.

What flowed out from the gaps between the puppet parts was not lubricating oil, but fine yellow sand!

Immediately afterwards, Gaara, with a smooth forehead bearing the character for "love," slowly floated up from the hole that the 'puppet crow' had crawled out of.

With that gesture of covering one eye, the viewers in the live stream knew without guessing that Gaara had activated the Eye of Sand!

Then, Gaara raised his hand towards the direction of the Hungry Ghost Realm!

"rustle--"

Heavy golden dust climbed up the solid body of the hungry ghost.

Sensing the binding force of the gold dust, the Hungry Ghost Path immediately raised its hand, attempting to absorb the chakra attached to it and resolve its predicament.

However, when the Hungry Ghost Realm actually raised his hand to absorb the energy, he was stunned.

It was only then that the Hungry Ghost Realm realized that the gold dust on his body did not contain any chakra!

But if there is no chakra attached to the gold dust, how does it bind him?
