The Silent Puppeteer Enters: Kankuro vs Misumi Begins
Kankuro, cloaked and mysterious, steps into the arena carrying a large bandaged object—his trusted puppet. His opponent, Misumi Tsurugi, known for his stealth and unorthodox techniques, enters with quiet confidence.
“That guy… He’s hiding something,” whispers Shikamaru, eyeing the strange object on Kankuro’s back.
This is more than just a match—it’s the beginning of the deadly dance between deception and control.
Misumi’s Grasp: The Constriction Begins
With the proctor’s signal, Misumi Tsurugi vs Kankuro erupts into motion. Misumi’s body contorts as he uses “Strangling Snake Hands” (Jashinhebi no Jutsu), wrapping his arms tightly around Kankuro’s neck.
“It’s over. If I twist just a bit more… your neck will snap,” Misumi threatens, believing he has the upper hand.
Spectators are shocked. Has Kankuro underestimated his opponent?
The Puppet Unmasked: Kankuro’s Trap is Revealed
As Misumi tightens his hold, Kankuro’s body suddenly slumps unnaturally. The bandages fall away—revealing the truth: Misumi wasn’t strangling a person, but Karasu, Kankuro’s puppet.
“What!?” Misumi gasps, caught completely off guard.
From behind, Kankuro speaks with chilling confidence:
“You fell for it. This whole time… you’ve been strangling my puppet.”
In the battle of kankuro vs misumi, deception has become the deciding force.
Karasu’s Counterattack: Precision of a Puppet Master
With Karasu activated, Kankuro manipulates it via chakra threads, revealing blades and hidden weapons. He unleashes “Black Secret Technique: Machine One Shot” (Kurohigi Kiki Ippatsu), trapping Misumi in a sudden and precise mechanical assault.
Misumi Tsurugi finds himself pinned and powerless.
Kankuro: “Next time, don’t assume silence means weakness.”
This clash between Misumi Tsurugi vs Kankuro has now become a lesson in miscalculation and overconfidence.
Victory by Deception: The Art of the Puppet Master
Unable to move, Misumi is declared defeated. The crowd is stunned at the speed and cleverness of the match. It wasn’t brute strength that won, but strategy.
Temari, watching from the stands, smirks: “That’s Kankuro for you. He always finishes fast.”
Gaara stands silently, expression unreadable.
As Kankuro rewraps Karasu, he mutters: “A real shinobi wins before the battle begins.”
The battle of kankuro vs misumi ends not with a bang—but with the quiet revelation of a true puppeteer’s prowess.
