Enjoy the chapter the first chapter of the Kiba and Akamaru VS. Kankuro fight.

Chapter 93: The Puppet Master

The truth of the bandages, clothes, whatever they were… were not them, but rather what underneath them

(Flashback)

Zoro was explaining the true purpose of the clothes…

"If any one is suspicious of someone they just remove the bandage and reveal the x." said Zoro removing the bandage showing off an X.

"A double bluff… that's really clever." said Sanji.

"Okay… tell me where you put the real Zoro." said Sasuke staring at him.

"I'll kill for that Sasuke!" yelled Zoro.

"Yep, the real Zoro." said Luffy.

"It sure is." said Usopp.

(End of Flashback)

Carue despite his heavy injuries tried to run away from Mr. 2...

"I wonder what happened to Usopp." thought Vivi.

Meanwhile with Usopp and Eyelash, both were toughly beaten… Sanji stared at him.

"He clobbered in me in two seconds." said Usopp.

"You should have held out longer!" yelled Sanji.

In the desert, Kiba got a weird feeling.

"I feel like beating up my brother." muttered Kiba.

"Shouldn't you be focused on me?" asked Kankuro.

"Sorry… I just got this weird feeling that my older brother lost in a fight… in the most embarrassing way possible." said Kiba.

"I see… older or younger." said Kankuro.

"Older…" answered Kiba, "You couldn't even tell we are brothers."

"Oh…" said Kankuro, "What is about younger brothers bullying older brothers?"

"You're the older son of the Kazekage right?" asked Kiba.

"Yeah…" sighed Kankuro.

"Maybe we should fight instead of talking about brothers." said Kiba.

"That's what I was going to say." said Kankuro with a smirk, "I'll let you have the first hit."

"You sure?" asked Kiba.

"Of course." said Kankuro with a smirk.

"Let's go Akamaru!" said Kiba.

Both he and Akamaru went into punch Kankuro, they did it hair, so much there was a loud crunching send and Kankuro was sent to the ground.

"No way! We didn't do that hard, did we?" asked Kiba.

That's when Kankuro got up, he was wobbling quite a bit and there was a horrible clicking sound from the wobbling.

"Well you got me good that time." said Kankuro.

That's when pieces of his face began to fall off… revealing underneath… something wooden.

"What's the!" yelled Kiba.

That's when the mummy on his back began to unravel revealing a second Kankuro, he jumped away from the first Kankuro.

"So you are a clone user." said Kiba.

"I said I was something" said the 2nd Kankuro.

Kankuro moved his arm in a certain way, the first Kankuro's face fell all the way off and all of the clothes ripped apart, revealing some sort of wooden multi-armed, three eyed marionette of sorts.

"What is that thing?" asked Kiba.

"What do you know about the 3 Three Forms of Chi Fighting… other than Clones?" asked Kankuro.

"I know about the gentle fist." said Kiba.

"Really? How?" asked Kankuro who has never met a Gentle Fist user in his life.

"One of my crew mates is a user." said Kiba.

"Then what do you know about the third?" asked Kankuro.

"I don't know." said Kiba with a shrug.

"Not many knows about the third." said Kankuro, "But it does exist… I'm a user of the third style… puppet mastery."

"Puppet mastery… so you aren't a Devil Fruit user?" asked Kiba.

"No… I think there might a Devil Fruit with those abilities, but I think one of the War Lords ate it" said Kankuro.

"Oh I see…" said Kiba with a sweat drop.

"No this was created by people thought that Clones weren't dangerous so they created puppets." said Kankuro, "Puppet are far more dangerous than clones."

"Oh really how can that be more dangerous than a clone?" asked Kiba shaking his head.

That's when the puppet opened it's mouth… and several bombs came out of them. Both Kiba and Akamaru managed to doge the bombs.

"That's how, a puppet has several tricks built right inside of it. I use my chi as strings to control it in many ways." said Kankuro.

"I see…' said Kiba, "So what if we break it…"

"I'd like to see you try." said Kankuro.

"All right! Let's go Akamaru!" called out Kiba.

Akamaru barked in agreement.

The two ran towards the puppet.

"You really think that's going to work with me?" asked Kankuro with a laugh.

Kankuro moved his hands in a way that, that's when blades came out of the puppets arms.

"This is going to fun." thought Kankuro.

Kankuro looked to his back where another more slender mummy was, the whole time he was there, his puppet named Crow stood in his place while he hid controlling crow as if it was him from inside the mummy. While hiding he had had brought along a second different mummy to surprise what ever enemy he faced.

"If he think he can stop crow by ripping off limbs he's in for a surprise." he thought.

"Let's go Akamaru." said Kiba.

Akamaru once again barked while in Kiba's form.

The two ran towards Kankuro, they dodged the blades from Crow's arms while trying to find ways to rip them off.

That's when crow opened its mouth and several knives came out of it, both Kiba and Akamaru managed to dodge, only for Kiba to get in the shoulder by one of the arm blades.

"Damn it!" shouted Kiba, he looked at the wound, it wasn't too bad.

"We have to be very careful." said Kiba

Akamaru began to make gestures…

"What are you saying?" asked Kiba.

He looked into the dog that's disguised as himself and knew what Akamaru was trying to say.

"Okay… I get it." said Kiba.

The two of them again ran towards Crow.

"That's not going to work." said Kankuro shaking his.

The two split up… one of them head strait for Crow while the other went to hide behind a send dune, Kankuro smirked.

"That's pretty good." he thought.

The one headed strait of crow dodged the arms and any projectiles that came form the mouth as best he could.

"You're not going to win, just give up already." said Kankuro.

That's when the one that hid behind the sand dune appeared then ripped off the head of crow and tossed it aside.

"What!" yelled Kankuro.

Neither one said anything as a way to confuse him… he didn't know which was the real one and which one was the clone.

"Damn it…" thought Kankuro.

That's when both man and dog/ clone began top rip of the arms and tossed them aside. When they were both of them were breathing heavily.

"I have to congratulate you on doing that but there's a few thing you should know." said Kankuro.

He grabbed the mummy off his back, unwrapped and revealed it to be a another puppet, this one looked a different, it's hit was longer and looked demonic, it had many arms and a was form some reason barrel sharpened.

"You may have think you have torn apart crow, but you still have to deal with black ant." said Kankuro with a smirk.

"Damn it!" yelled Kiba.

And so Kiba's fight would continue with this tricky opponent, not knowing what Kankuro's next trick was it was going to be a very hard battle indeed.

Next Time: Kiba and Akamaru learn the hard way that ripping off a puppet's limbs does not hinder it in any way. Now Kiba must find a new way to fight his enemy, meanwhile somehow Usopp and Chopper's fight somehow turned into a game of whack a mole... how? Find out next time!
