This is by no means a false statement.

Although the Hidden Sand's Puppet Jutsu is formidable, the parasitic insects of Konoha's Aburame clan are precisely capable of disrupting the joints and mechanisms of puppets, rendering them unable to be manipulated in battle.

In the original work, the battle between Aburame Shino and Kankuro is a good example.

Space Transfer!!

Just as Aburame Tatsuma was about to finish his laughter, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes. The towering figure that appeared out of nowhere instantly silenced his laughter.

This speed... how is it possible?!

Before he could comprehend how the puppet suddenly appeared before him, he saw the colossal paw raised high by Tyrant, swiftly descending towards Aburame Tatsuma.

"Bang!"

The impact generated by the Paw Fruit ability is unimaginable. Struck by Tyrant's palm, Aburame Tatsuma directly turned into a pile of powder.

No, not powder. It should be said that he transformed into countless black insects, abruptly dispersing in the air.

"Clone made of insects..."

"After all, he's a master of the Aburame clan. Indeed, quite skilled."

Seeing Aburame Tatsuma, who was swiftly killed by Tyrant's slap, turn into insects and disperse, Yu's expression remained indifferent.

After all, he was an elite Jonin under Danzo's Root organization. It would be strange if he lacked this level of strength.

"Go to hell, little brat!!"

"Parasitic Insects: Tempest!!"

Aburame Tatsuma's voice rang out again. He had already appeared in the airspace behind Yu, manipulating countless parasitic insects around his body to form a black tornado that fiercely bit towards Yu!

"It's useless..."

"Insects are ineffective against me!"

Facing the black tornado formed by the biting parasitic insects, Yu stood still, not dodging or evading. He simply opened his hands, releasing a dazzling surge of electricity throughout his body.

Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!!

As expected, after the black tornado formed by the parasitic insects was hit by the ferocious electric currents released from Yu's entire body.

In an instant, they all turned into charred remains, falling onto the grass, emitting a pungent odor that permeated the air.

"Furthermore, the battle has already ended."

Just as Aburame Tatsuma marveled at the powerful Lightning Release emanating from Yu's entire body, Yu's calm and indifferent voice rang out once again.

"Tatsuma!"

"Above you!"

At this moment, Orochimaru, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but speak up to alert Aburame Tatsuma.

Above?!

Upon hearing Orochimaru's voice, Aburame Tatsuma was startled and instinctively looked upward.

To his horror, he saw the terrifying figure of Tyrant had appeared above him at some point. Under the moonlight, the puppet's eyes reflected two terrifying red lights.

Damn... When did this guy appear above me?!

Before Aburame Tatsuma could understand the principle of Paw Fruit bouncing off the air to achieve instant movement, he saw Tyrant's bear paw above him unleash a ferocious strike.

Pressure Cannon!!

As Tyrant struck through the air with a palm, all the air in front of Aburame Tatsuma was forcefully expelled. !

The terrifying shockwave from the bear paw instantly pierced through his body, directly turning his internal organs into a mist of blood!

The aftermath did not stop there. The Pressure Cannon unleashed by Tyrant created a deep, bear paw-shaped crater in the grass beneath his feet.

Silence.

A deathly silence.

Gazing at the blood mist dissipating in the air and the body of Aburame Tatsuma lying on the grass, even Danzo and Orochimaru beside him couldn't help but furrow their brows.

The instant movement demonstrated by Tyrant using the Paw Fruit's ability just now left both Kage-level ninjas unable to intervene in time.

Aburame Tatsuma, an elite Jonin of the Root organization, was killed right in front of them, and by a seven or eight-year-old kid, no less.

'To easily kill Tatsuma... Could it be that this kid's strength has already reached...?!

Though appearing calm on the surface, as Danzo looked at the white-haired youth standing on the grass with his hands in his pockets, a storm of shock and horror raged within his heart.

"Why doesn't he need to use Chakra Threads to control puppets?"

"Interesting, truly interesting... How many secrets does this kid have?"

Meanwhile, Orochimaru, with his slitted snake-like eyes fixed on Yu, exuded a strong sense of curiosity. He couldn't help but extend his long tongue, the sight of which sent shivers down one's spine.

"Yu..."

At that moment, Yakushi Nono, Keiri and Kanpu, standing on the other side, were left speechless in shock as they witnessed Yu swiftly eliminate Danzo's elite Jonin, Aburame Tatsuma.

"Amazing... so powerful!"

Only Yakushi Kabuto, hidden in the orphanage cabin, stared wide-eyed at the incredible prowess of Yu on the grass outside. Without moving a single finger, Yu could manipulate puppets to kill an elite Jonin of the Root organization. The young Kabuto couldn't fathom how someone as young as Yu could achieve such feats.

"These underhanded tactics..."

"If you don't want me to bring this matter to Sarutobi Sensei, making things ugly for everyone, you better get rid of this guy's body right away."

After forcefully killing Aburame Tatsuma with Tyrant under the bright moonlight, Yu, with Kabuto inserted in both hands, gazed coldly at Danzo and Orochimaru in front of him.

"Both of you, quickly take care of this guy's body for me!"

What does Shimura Danzo matter?

What does Orochimaru matter?

As long as they dare to threaten Nono and the orphanage, Yu won't show them any mercy.

Facing two Kage-level figures, Yu currently has no confidence in direct confrontation. However, he is confident that he can create a commotion and attract all of Konoha's ninjas, revealing to everyone the true nature of these two individuals.

"Hehehe... such a formidable Puppet Jutsu, actually killed Tatsuma in an instant."

"Yu-kun, truly deserving of Konoha's strongest genius. I find myself more and more interested in you..."

Upon hearing Yu's unreserved words, Orochimaru by Danzo's side emitted a deep, hoarse laughter.

Licking his long tongue, Orochimaru's golden, slitted snake-like eyes revealed an incredibly eerie and unabashed interest in Yu.

"But don't think for a moment that killing a Jonin proves your prowess... In front of true Kage-level ninjas, these actions are nothing more than child's play!"

As Orochimaru's low voice fell, his gaze sharpened, and an overwhelming killing intent erupted from him like a roaring tide.

Invisible, as if a gale swept across the grassland, the aura of a Kage-level ninja fully manifested, causing the ground around him to kick up dust and stones.

Orochimaru, one of the legendary three ninjas...

Is this guy... about to make a move?!

Facing the terrifying killing intent emanating from Orochimaru, faintly, Yu seemed to see this man turning into a python lurking in a sea of corpses, ready to devour his entire existence at any moment.

This is the aura of a Kage-level powerhouse. This is the awe forged by killing thousands of ninjas with one's own hands!

No wonder in the original story, during the Chunin Exams when Uchiha Sasuke confronted Orochimaru in the Forest of Death, Sasuke was directly immobilized by the overwhelming killing intent emanating from Orochimaru's body.
