Chapter 133: CH 133
Naruto didn't have long to ponder this as Sasori threw his tail out at Naruto again, missing repeatedly in his attempts to finish the boy off. The foot of the young jinchuuriki caught itself in the rubble that they were fighting on. Naruto saw the metal tail fly at him and clasped his fists side by side before thrusting them out, "Fuuton: Fuujin Seiken (Wind Release: Divine Fist of the Wind God)!" The wind projectile barely held the blade off as Naruto frantically tried to lift his foot out and evade before he ended up being a human shish-kabob.
The wind based attack eventually died off and the tail shot at Naruto as quick as ever, however he found it in him to evade by the skin of his teeth, although the leg of his pants did get cut when he got his foot free. Naruto now had the back of his shirt blown open by the explosive attack from Deidara and his pants leg shredded from the unstable surface of rubble that he and Sasori were fighting on.
Naruto inspected himself. The wounds on his back had long since healed and the cuts and scratches he got pulling himself free were mere trifles. Sasori's tail swung menacingly around him, "You must have an extra life to go with each tail of your biju."
Naruto flipped him off and started running circles around Sasori, making him appear as a blur while a red trail left behind was the sign of his wake. Sasori sighed in annoyance as he tried to use his tail to swap (see: stab) the annoying fly. All he hit was nothing, as simply penetrating the red haze that settled in Naruto's path while he continued running around him, "You're really beginning to work my nerves boy." Naruto's response was a reasonably sized chunk of debris flying from his shroud that he was running around Sasori at a high speed. Sasori's tail moved swiftly to intercept it. Soon thereafter even more debris flew at him at an even higher pace, the speed steadily increased, forcing Sasori to give his iron tail a good workout to block them. This pattern continued until Sasori tired of blocking chunks of building and stuck his tail directly into the circle, getting a series of rapid popping sounds for his trouble. The shroud disappeared, confusing Sasori as to Naruto's whereabouts.
"Doton: Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Jutsu)!" Naruto emerged from the ground directly behind Sasori and slashed his body up repeatedly before landing a distance away and sheathing his sword, "And that's how you do that."
"That was a good move kid." Sasori's Akatsuki cloak was cut to ribbons, finally dropping off of his frame, "That might have worked if I was normal." On his back was what appeared to be a demon mask with the iron tail extending from the mouth of it.
Naruto palmed his forehead at the sight of this, "What are you? You barely look human!"
Sasori laughed, "That's because this is a puppet boy. My puppet armor, Hiruko."
Naruto's teeth made a loud clicking noise as he found himself undeterred by this news, "Well then I guess I'll just have to smash your puppet armor to get to the soft, squishy puppeteer underneath won't I?"
