Bang got frustrated that his little sneak attack failed when Sasori made swift move to Bang's left to avoid the lance. Realizing what was coming next, Bang stopped inserting chakra into the lance and focused on figuring out a quick move that would protect him from Sasori's propeller that's coming for his abdomen. Using pure instinct, Bang quickly covered his entire torso with black steel which withstood the impact form Sasori's spinning blades, but Bang wasn't finish yet. At the same time while forming the black steel on his torso, Bang decided to take a quick slash downward at the chakra threads coming from Sasori's abdomen with the same lance still intact to his right arm so he could prevent whatever Sasori had in mind with that puppet and the other two behind him. While falling down along with Sasori's puppets, Bang removed the lance from his arm and formed the Snake hand seal and slam his hands to the ground as he he made contact with ground. Directly above Sasori's head formed a portal that revealed a 10 meter in diameter solid earth lid that quickly fell to the ground and took Sasori with it. Before making contact with the ground, Bang dug into the ground and took cover from being flattened by the earthen lid, and then made his way to the outskirts of the lid so he could make it back to the earth surface.
