The Wind Tags blow cause the artificial sandstorm to worsen for a few seconds, but then quickly removes it from the battlefield.
In a rush towards the Mole Puppet, which has become active, Tsukiko cuts the threads of the Suna Kunoichi, causing it to fall limply. As she comes close to the Mole, its arms move wide, so much so that instead of hitting its arms like she wished to, she has hit the Mole's chest, splintering the wooden exterior and doing massive damage to the weapons secreted inside of the Puppet. It closes its arms around Tsukiko and crashes upwards and outwards via Doton Jutsu, the puppetmaster seemingly content to take a Hyuuga as a future puppet. The Earth Civilian follows through the hole.
Likewise, the Leaf Civilian puppet has removed her outer layer of clothing, revealing a fair number of active explosive tags. She falls limp, having outlived her usefulness.
The Puppetmaster himself is already leaving, more than willing to accept his current losses if it means the prize he's collected, when the Binding Root Jutsu hits him, and he substitutes with the Earth Civilian, entombing it with his hair. He looks at Tsukiko, a wry leer on his face. He seems to be sweating. He's likely running low on Chakra from his hijinks with the Mitsubachi and the battle so far.
"I've heard The Hyuuga were beauties unrivaled, but my oh my... These are quite the materials I've collected, completely worth coming here..." He unfurls a scroll, much more ornate than the previous one. "Not quite as pretty as my Sabarou (Third Son), though."
He summons another Human Puppet, younger than the others. Despite the name, the puppet is a girl, and bears a Suna Headband. She carries two small fans with blades on the edges.
