The eight clones outside of the flames stood in a circle around it as Sasori's Red Secret Technique: A Grand Performance still surrounded them.
"Sasori's blind now with Ryujin Jakka's fire, this stuff is just automatic now." Zabimaru spoke up." We can deal with his toys easily now, each of us gets a hundred or so and we take them down."
"I'm game." Pantera spoke up as he flexed his claws." Let's do this now."
"No." Los Lobos snapped as he held his guns at his side." We need a plan first, they may break for the village if we all just charge out."
"I'm on defense with Kazeshini, we'll keep them back." Tobiume spoke up as both clones leapt back to the gates.
"I'm on defense here with Santa Teresa." Senbonzakura spoke up as he and Santa Teresa stood in front of the fire as Senbonzakura reformed into its blade." Sasori may call those puppets to him, we're going to make sure he can't. Boss just sent us all a boost of Chakra so we can probably all use Bankai right now."
"Bankai: Scatter, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi."
The blade fell into the ground and out rose several corridors of massive blades that broke apart into petals.
"Bankai, Ryumon Hozukimaru!" Hozukimaru called out and moments later the clone wielded a Chinese Monk's spade and guandao with both having a traditional horsehair tassel at the hilt and a long cylindrical weight for a pommel. Heavy chains connected both pieces to the center section of the Bankai, the center section resembling an axe blade with a parallel handle forged into the blunt end of it with a dragon crest on the blade above the handle along with a separate one on each pommel of the spade and guandao.
"Bankai, Hihio Zabimaru!" Zabimaru called out as in a burst of Chakra the skeletal snake emerged, wrapping protectively around its user.
"Let's go!" Santa Teresa shouted as he charged forward, his six scythes spinning wildly
"Hikotsu Taiho!" Zabimaru shouted as a massive red sweeping beam of energy tore through a dozen of the puppets.
"Garra de la Pantera!" Pantera called out as green darts fired out of the segments of their armor and they fired through the mass of puppets in front of them.
A swarm of puppets charged Los Lobos from either side and they simply held each pistol out, one pointed at either side as they sent an insane amount of Chakra to the pistols.
"Cero Metralleta!" Los Lobos called out as a hail of Chakra blasts tore through the puppets attacking him from each side.
Zabimaru directed Hihio Zabimaru to tear through several large brutish puppets as they tried to bypass him and head towards the village as a scroll was suddenly tossed into the air above the flames containg Sasori and Ryujin Jakka.
"More of them incoming!" a clone suddenly shouted as they raced out of the flames before they were dispelled with several swords piercing their stomach.
They exploded the moment they were hit and took down the puppets as well.
"Pantera, deal with them!" Los Lobos ordered as said clone grinned before rocketing forward.
Pantera destroyed one puppet just by kicking it and launched off it to another that he ripped in half before grabbing the blades it wielded in one of their six arms and throwing them like a buzzsaw to cut down three more puppets.
Pantera channeled a massive amount of Chakra to his claws and they glowed and he grinned before rapidly slashing the air in the direction of eight dozen puppets emerging from the hovering scroll.
"Desgarron!" Pantera called out as he soon added rapid kicks to his attack and long sharp blades made of Chakra launched from the arc of each swing and tore through the puppets as Pantera slammed his elbow into a brutish puppet aiming to strike him from behind.
"Garra de la Pantera!" Pantera called out a second later and the puppet shattered by the sheer force of the five darts ripping through him.
Another puppet sneaking up from behind met Pantera's clawed foot and the kick tore its head off as Pantera then blitzed forward, sending Desgarron after Desgarron out as he turned into a twister of claws and blades.
"Watch out!" Zabimaru shouted as he moved Hihio Zabimaru to block the blow of several brutish puppets from slamming Pantera into the ground.
Hihio Zabimaru shattered into pieces from the blow and several puppets charged towards the defenseless Zabimaru.
"Morons." Zabimaru muttered as he channeled Chakra through the segments and the puppets found themselves bound in ropes made of Chakra.
Zabimaru made a fist with his free hand and the puppets were turned to wood chips as Hihio Zabimaru reformed.
Tobiume appeared next to them from a Shunsin and swung Tobiume upwards, sending a hail of small marble sized balls of fire into the air.
They came down as large as beach balls and the explosions of fire consumed a dozen each.
"You need some help?" Tobiume asked and Zabimaru nodded, the drain of the Chakra ropes getting to him.
"Give me a minute to rest but I'll give backup from here." Zabimaru answered as Hihio Zabimaru coiled around the two and several segments opened up, allowing Tobiume a view outside it.
Fire consumed Tobiume's blade before the clone pointed it at a group of puppets and a stream of fire incinerated the puppets entirely.
"This is going to take a while." Tobiume commented with a sigh as he went to another open section and another stream of flames incinerated eight more puppets.
Santa Teresa tore through the dozens of puppets around him as Los Lobos cut a path to him.
"Can you get to that scroll near Ryujin Jakka, Pantera is running low on Chakra." Los Lobos asked Santa Teresa who shrugged.
"I'm holding them here from escaping, I can't leave here." Santa Teresa spoke as they cut a hand on either side with a scythe.
"Gran Rey Cero!" Santa Teresa called out as he fired a massive golden yellow beam of energy.
It wiped out most of the puppets nearby and a double Cero Metralleta dealt with the rest.
"You're clear, I'll keep them busy here." Los Lobos told Santa Teresa just as a storm of petals ripped past them.
Senbonzakura stood on the wall as they directed the petals everywhere around the battlefield, using both hands to skewer puppets and crush others as Kazeshini stood with him, fending off any attacks by the puppets.
"Get over here!" Kazeshini roared as he threw one blade forward and it wrapped around a dozen puppets before Chakra channeled through the chain turned it into a chainsaw that the clone ripped back.
The pinwheel like blade came shooting back with the remains of the puppets falling to the ground with the clone catching the handle of the blade as it came flying back.
"Any get by yet?" Kazeshini asked Senbonzakura who nodded.
"Boss has a few clones using Zangetsu outside, if we can't keep them here then he'll have them bombard the place."
Just as Kazeshini finished speaking several puppets packed with explosives blew a hole in the petal wall Senbonzakura formed with a quarter of his Bankai and a few dozen escaped as another collapsed to the ground, scrolls rolling out of their wooden body.
"GETSUGA TENSHOU!"
The faint shout was heard only by those two as they were closest and Senbonzakura sealed the wall up again before it came down like a tidal wave on the puppet and the scrolls it released.
"Did you get them?" Kazeshini asked as he flung one Chakra enhanced pinwheel blade forward and ti sawed through a dozen puppets before he pulled it back.
"No." Senbonzakura answered as the petals were tossed aside by a new wave of puppets released from each scroll.
"At least a few hundred each, this is getting exhausting!" Kazeshini muttered as he flung both blades forward and they cut down a few dozen as they flew back to his hands.
"Tell boss we need reinforcements." Senbonzakura spoke up after a few moments." We can't hold them."
The pillar of flames exploding outwards caught both their attention as the other clones appeared behind them with a few Shunsin.
"Did he win?" Tobiume asked.
A single figure staggered out of the smoke from the fire and the clones readied themselves for a fight, just incase.
AN: So, who won? Sasori or Ryujin Jakka, the fight between the two will maybe be two chapters, I haven't decided yet and I'm still open to suggestions on who Sasori's puppet is.
Peace.
