The puppet that appeared in Chapter 352
Faced with Konan's relentless onslaught, Hyuga Kanan used various basic rule powers to cope, appearing extremely passive and seemingly on the verge of being overwhelmed by Konan's attacks at any moment.
However, Hyuga Kanan showed no sign of letting up. Instead, he continuously expanded his powerful spiritual energy outwards, like an invisible net, meticulously monitoring every movement around him. In this way, he could keenly perceive any subtle changes in his surroundings and take timely countermeasures.
Just then, Hyuga Kanan suddenly became alert. He had sensed a large number of uninvited guests approaching him stealthily. Among them, six figures stood out. These six figures moved with astonishing speed, as if by lightning, closing the distance to Hyuga Kanan in the blink of an eye. More importantly, Hyuga Kanan sensed an extremely powerful, vast, and unfathomable chakra fluctuation emanating from them. Clearly, they were no ordinary individuals.
Furthermore, after careful observation and analysis, Hyuga Kanan was surprised to discover that the chakra contained within these six individuals exhibited a highly consistent and interconnected state. In other words, they seemed to share some special connection or common origin. This shared origin made their power exceptionally strong and elusive, giving Hyuga Kanan an unprecedented and peculiar feeling.
In that instant, Hyuga Kanan's eyes sharpened, as if a raging flame danced within them. He ceased his prolonged maneuvering with Konan and unleashed without hesitation the surging power within him!
In an instant, an unparalleled and powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body, sweeping across like a raging hurricane. This aura was so strong that it was suffocating, as if it could destroy any obstacle in its path.
Xiao Nan's originally fierce attack crumbled instantly under the impact of this powerful aura, like fragile paper encountering a strong wind. She didn't even have time to react before her body was blown backward by the enormous force, flying through the air like a kite with a broken string before crashing heavily to the ground.
However, Hyuga Kanan gave Konan no chance to catch her breath. He flashed forward, swiftly closing the distance, once again displaying astonishing speed and agility. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Konan, their positions now locked in a standoff. At this moment, he stood like an unshakeable mountain, radiating an aura of undeniable majesty.
Surprisingly, Hyuga Kanan did not immediately subdue her as Konan had expected. Instead, he stood there like a steady mountain, seemingly waiting for a crucial moment. His posture was upright and resolute, exuding an unfathomable aura.
At the same time, Xiao Nan's already extremely gloomy face became even more grim. She clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes fixed on the powerful and fearsome opponent before her, her heart surging with endless resentment and unwillingness. Despite having just experienced a fierce battle, she showed no sign of backing down; on the contrary, she was even more determined to throw herself back into this life-or-death struggle.
Just as Xiao Nan was about to launch another attack, a sudden and authoritative voice rang out, booming like thunder in everyone's ears and abruptly stopping Xiao Nan's movements. The voice seemed to carry an invisible force, making its command irresistible.
"Stop, Konan. Quickly evacuate to the outer area and block the reinforcements. The enemy before us is far beyond your capabilities. Do not let them rush in recklessly, lest you add unnecessary sacrifices. I alone can handle this!" The voice was deep and firm, revealing unparalleled confidence and determination. Every word struck the heartstrings of everyone present like a heavy hammer, leaving them deeply shaken.
Just then, Konan, who was about to attack Hyuga Kana again, suddenly stopped upon hearing the sound and stood motionless, as if time had frozen. However, in this eerie silence, a mysterious and swift figure suddenly appeared beside Konan like a ghost. The figure flashed across the night sky like lightning, instantly arriving in front of Konan, and then without hesitation, placed its solid body between Konan and the danger, like an unbreakable fortress, firmly protecting Konan.
Sunlight dappled the ground, creating patches of light and shadow. Hyuga Kanan stood there like a silent statue, his gaze calm and profound, fixed intently on the figure that had suddenly appeared.
The figure seemed to emerge from the darkness, emanating an aura of mystery. His face was covered by countless jet-black rods, densely interwoven, obscuring his true features. Yet, it was precisely this eerie adornment that instilled a sense of inexplicable fear and oppression.
He wore the Akatsuki's signature black robe with red clouds, the vibrant red clouds like burning flames contrasting sharply against the deep black background, making him stand out. The robe fluttered in the wind, seemingly proclaiming its wearer's extraordinary status and formidable strength.
What's most striking are his eyes, which display a peculiar, wavy pattern, deep and captivating like whirlpools. Each ripple contains boundless power, seemingly capable of piercing the heart and discerning all secrets. When these eyes gaze upon their surroundings, they exude an invisible, chillingly powerful aura, as if the entire world is under his control.
As sunlight fell upon Hyuga Kanan, he gazed into the deep, unfathomable eyes of the person before him, and a strange, indescribable feeling welled up within him. Deep within the other's pupils seemed to lie an endless universe, and the light shimmering within was woven from six extremely mature and powerful rules of power.
These six powers of rules are like brilliant stars in the night sky, shining and blending together. The aura they exude is ancient and mysterious, as if carrying the sedimentation of time and the crystallization of wisdom. Compared with the ninjutsu performed by ordinary ninjas that only touch the surface, these powers of rules seem so profound and unattainable.
Hyuga Kanan knew that while the ninjutsu used by ninjas in their daily lives were exquisite, the rules involved were only the tip of the iceberg. The eyes before him, however, contained a far deeper understanding and control over the power of those rules. This level of understanding was beyond the reach of ordinary people; even ninjas with exceptional talent and diligent training would likely need countless years of honing their skills to grasp even a fraction of it.
However, just as Hyuga Kanan was lost in thought, the light in his eyes suddenly became even more dazzling. The six powers of the rules, like flames that had been ignited, instantly erupted with astonishing energy fluctuations.
Surprisingly, Hyuga Kanan's powerful and keen spiritual sense was able to clearly perceive that these eyes did not belong to the person before him! Although this person was emanating chakra fluctuations, trying to cleverly conceal his own death aura, none of this could escape Hyuga Kanan's hawk-like sharp perception.
Under his extraordinary insight, any disguise or concealment appears utterly futile. By capturing subtle changes in the surrounding environment and precisely analyzing energy flows, Hyuga Kanan can effortlessly see through an enemy's disguise and discern their true intentions. This extraordinary perceptive talent gives him a significant advantage in battle, often allowing him to anticipate his opponent's actions and formulate corresponding countermeasures.
At this moment, facing this seemingly ordinary yet enigmatic figure, Hyuga Kanan felt a surge of vigilance. He knew that in this world fraught with danger and uncertainty, one must not be misled by appearances. Every detail, every anomaly, could be a crucial factor in determining victory or defeat. Therefore, he had to remain constantly alert, using his exceptional spiritual power to uncover the truth and reveal the secrets hidden behind the darkness.
Just as Konan turned and left, gradually disappearing from sight, the previously noisy and chaotic scene seemed to be under a spell, instantly becoming completely silent. Time seemed to freeze, and the entire space was filled with an eerie and oppressive atmosphere. This sudden silence caused an indescribable and strange feeling to well up in Hyuga Kanan's heart.
He stared intently at the figure before him, whose arrogant and overbearing demeanor left Hyuga Kanan somewhat bewildered. Finally, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, Hyuga Kanan abruptly raised his head and shouted at the figure in front of him, "What, are you planning to hide like this? Aren't the other five of you going to step forward?"
These words exploded in the air like a thunderclap, shattering the surrounding silence. The person standing opposite changed their expression slightly, but then regained their composure.
In an instant, something unexpected happened! Five more black figures suddenly appeared beside the opponent, flashing out like ghosts, and stood in a row with Hyuga Kanan, forming a confrontation.
Hyuga Kanan's sharp gaze swept over the newly arrived figures once more, a sense of astonishment creeping into his heart. He discovered that these people were almost identical to the first to appear, their physiques and auras remarkably similar. Clearly, they were all corpses controlled by the same mysterious power, a power originating from some special kind of chakra. Even more striking was the identical ripple-like light flickering in their eyes, as if concealing endless secrets.
