"Hm as if you could even" Sasuke said smirk

"You asked for it" Kankoruo said as he's puppet jump down and Sasuke activates his sharigan

When he notices the charka strings

Both contentions ready

"I don't think the puppet master is he's still hiding" Sasuke said

"I never said you couldn't hide I just said no attacking of viewers" said Hayate

"Ok" Sasuke said while Kankouro was now confused "how was he able to so easily figure out I'm hiding" Though Kankouro

"Anyway are both opponents ready " Hayate asked again
Both nodded their head

As soon as it begins The puppet rushes at Sasuke as he jump and does a fireball justu set the puppet on fire as more and more of a metal skeleton left of the puppet

"Bastard you got rid of his wood that'll take days to place back on " Kankouro cursed

"Should have made it out of tuffer stuff" said Sasuke as his continues to dodge only this time launching a phoneix flower justu in Kankouro area

"Hm so he knows my location but not precisely " Kankouro though as he dashed to the side to dodge the fire style only for him to be kicked up just like frontal lotus
