Chapter 361: Puppeteer vs. Iron Man
🕑 Added 2024-02-03 20:32:17 +0000 UTC"Sir, there won't be any ships passing within a five-mile radius for the next hour."
Hearing Jarvis's response, Tony walked to the equipment section. Soon, mechanical arms extended, equipping him with the Mark Armor.
After putting on the armor, Tony turned to Kankuro, who was standing nearby.
"Follow me. Let's test it together."
After saying that, Tony closed the faceplate and flew out directly from the underground garage, heading towards the seaside below the cliff.
Seeing Tony leaving, Kankuro took a glance at the two crow puppets in front of him. He stored the original crow puppet in the ninja tool summoning scroll and carried the new crow puppet on his back.
Then, he rushed out.
Kankuro's running speed was extremely fast, although not as fast as Rock Lee's supersonic speed with weight removal, it was still remarkable.
Tony arrived at the sea, and Kankuro, with the crow puppet on his back, jumped down from the cliff above, landing in front of Tony.
Seeing Kankuro standing on the sea, Tony knew this was a basic ninja skill.
"Let's begin the test."
When Tony's words fell, the distance between the two was not too far. Kankuro directly threw the crow puppet, rapidly swinging chakra threads with both hands, connecting with the puppet.
"Invasive Mechanism!"
The puppet crow rushed toward Tony with a fast piercing attack, rotating to perform cutting strikes.
Before Tony could react, the puppet had already attacked. He could only put his arms in front of him for defense, but the crow puppet, made of the same golden titanium alloy as Tony's Mark Armor, dealt significant damage with its massive rotating assault, sending Tony flying.
Being thrown into the sea, Tony tumbled for a while on the surface, then, with the help of thrusters, stabilized his body and flew into the air. The Mark Armor on him had many scars left by the crow puppet.
Seeing this, Kankuro's face revealed a slight smile. The puppet made of golden titanium alloy indeed had formidable destructive power.
In the air, Tony checked the damage. He then looked down at Kankuro and shouted:
"What's your attack range? Can you reach me at this level?"
Hearing Tony's shout, Kankuro estimated the distance between them and shook his head.
"But I can close the distance."
Kankuro manipulated the puppet, rapidly approaching Tony, while he himself ran swiftly on the sea surface.
Seeing Kankuro getting closer, Tony extended his palm and fired repulsor blasts towards Kankuro.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Tony's repulsor blasts did not hit Kankuro, who was swiftly dodging, but instead created giant water pillars on the sea.
Those repulsor blasts didn't hit Kankuro, who was using snake-like movements to approach. Tony realized that the opponent had closed quite a bit of distance.
Tracking missiles were launched by Tony.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Several small missiles were fired, some aimed at Kankuro himself, while others targeted his puppet. Tony also used Jarvis's assistance for targeting.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The missiles fired by Tony exploded on the sea, creating huge splashes of water, obscuring his vision.
"Did any of them hit this little guy?"
Just as Tony was inquiring, numerous kunai suddenly shot out from the sea beneath him, racing towards Tony at a rapid speed.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The sky was filled with kunai, grouped in threes, flying rapidly towards Tony. Additionally, these kunai were tied with thin threads, each ending with an explosive tag.
During the instant of the missile explosion, Kankuro had used the Body Flicker Technique to hide underwater and swiftly retracted his crow puppet.
Tony was aware of the destructive power of kunai, but he chose not to fly to avoid them. Instead, he fired repulsor blasts from his palms and chest-mounted energy cannon to try to disintegrate the kunai in mid-air.
In the last fight between Tony and Charles, no detonating talisman was seen, and when the crow was scanned, these things were not tied to it.
So, Tony had no idea about them.
When Tony's repulsor blasts collided with the closest kunai, all the explosive tags attached to their tails detonated simultaneously, causing a massive explosion.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The shockwave from the explosion sent Tony flying, and although his Mark Armor appeared somewhat battered, the actual damage incurred was not as severe as the earlier spinning attack.
Seeing Tony being thrown into the air, Kankuro seized the opportunity. He activated his puppet, and, with incredible speed, he rushed towards Tony, reaching near sonic levels.
Soon, the distance between the two rapidly closed, and Kankuro immediately manipulated the crow puppet to launch an attack.
Tony stabilized his position in the air and didn't increase the distance. He accompanied Kankuro to test the puppet, wanting to see its close combat capabilities. Throughout the confrontation, he had restrained his power, intending to gauge the puppet's strength.
Watching the incoming puppet, Tony resorted to using the strength of his fists for defense. However, his hand-to-hand combat skills were insufficient in the eyes of Kankuro. Even in the Mark Armor, Tony seemed weak.
His punching speed was too slow, unable to keep up with the crow's attacks. Seizing the opportunity, the crow puppet delivered a series of explosive blows.
Due to the crow's material being the same as Tony's armor, the collision produced the sound of metal clashing.
Inside the Mark Armor, Jarvis continuously issued warning alerts as the armor sustained additional damage. Some areas were already showing signs of wear and tear.
Tony's expression darkened. He hadn't expected his combat skills to be so lacking. He couldn't even defeat a child. It seemed he needed to find a master to instruct him.
Tony activated the interference bombs on his suit directly. Numerous interference bombs were launched, effectively pushing away the puppet he was engaging in close combat with.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The interference bombs didn't have much power. On one hand, it pushed the opponent away, and on the other hand, he utilized the smoke from the interference bombs to disrupt the opponent's vision.
However, Tony's idea, while correct, didn't achieve much effect. Although the distance between them was momentarily increased, Kankuro immediately manipulated the crow puppet to throw explosive tags in all directions.
