Chapter 77 Scorpion: Is this the speed a human can achieve?
On the mountain, explosions occurred one after another.
Xiaonan's figure turned into pieces of origami, flying and spinning around, and finally gathered in another place.
Whizzing!
Origami flew out like shuriken.
The puppet was blown away and dared not move forward.
"You go first."
Xiaonan didn't look back.
Behind her, there were a dozen or so ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village huddled together, and there were two corpses on the ground.
When they heard Xiaonan's words, they woke up as if from a dream and immediately turned around and ran away.
Scorpion did not chase after her. Instead, he looked at the female ninja in front of him with excitement.
Origami.
New Ninjutsu...
"You will become my best collection!"
"Ah."
Xiaonan had a blank expression on his face and was too lazy to talk to the person in front of him.
She manipulated the paper, which contained many detonating talismans. The continuous explosions intertwined into a brilliant sea of fire, but the next moment, a stream of water appeared around the other party.
Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
In addition, some earth walls emerged...
The rising walls of water and earth instantly blocked the numerous explosions.
Release ninjutsu at the same time?
Xiaonan was surprised and doubted.
Your own ability?
Do not!
Could it be that! !
Her pupils shrank, and she instantly understood the meaning of "collection" that the other party had just mentioned.
"You are conducting forbidden research?!"
"Taboo? Who defines taboos and conventions? It's just the ignorance of ordinary people."
Scorpio said lazily.
He walked out from behind the trees, controlling two puppets with his fingers, and then several other figures walked out of the forest.
Ten fingers control, one person forms an army.
"Your art is very interesting. Let it become my eternal art. I will make you immortal!"
His tone was frantic.
With the control of his fingers, ten figures rushed out in an instant, and ninjutsu and ninja tools were used one after another.
Surrounded by light and shadow.
The paper burned in the flames, but Xiaonan himself was not afraid of the flames. His body quickly collapsed and turned into a piece of origami.
Paper clone!
The collapsed clones reunited in an instant and turned into a spear.
boom!
The spear flew out and attacked one of the puppets, but was quickly blocked by a ninjutsu.
however.
In an instant, the spear exploded violently.
The earth wall collapsed and the puppet was blown away. In the air, its outer skin fell off, revealing the mechanism inside.
really.
Xiaonan's heart sank, and he understood why the other party had chosen this area.
This guy wants materials!
She was controlling Origami and was about to deal with Scorpion when she suddenly sensed a team coming to her left, followed by...
Wow!
She instantly turned into pieces of paper, flew into the air, and looked down at her surroundings from above.
Then, Konan saw that behind Scorpion, a team was approaching quickly, and on her side, a team also full of Sand Village style was approaching.
Sand Hidden Village...
The madman in front of me seems to be a ninja from the Sand Village. Are the two parties together?
The Hidden Rain Village had a war and feud with the Hidden Sand Village before. She didn't dare to gamble with the enemy's temperament with her own people's lives, so she decided to retreat immediately.
Fortunately, her men and compatriots had already escaped for some distance.
Even if she leaves here, the other party won't be able to catch up with her for a while, and with multiple blocks along the way, it shouldn't be a problem.
Thinking of this, she decided to evacuate.
but.
Looking closely, the person in the distance seemed to be the child I had seen in Tangyin Village before...
Ninja of Konoha?
Xiaonan hesitated for a moment and had to fly higher to put himself in a safe position.
Looking around, the situation becomes clearer.
That's right.
That's them!
Konan hesitated for a moment, then created a clone and went towards Yahiko and the others.
……
"Fly?"
There was a hint of annoyance in Scorpion's eyes, but then he smiled, "If you can fly, I can fly too!"
In an instant, three puppets rose from the ground and came towards Xiaonan.
"Your technique is not afraid of damage, but it should consume a lot of chakra, right? As long as your chakra is almost worn out, it should be possible..."
Scorpio is trying to destroy the other person's mind with words.
At this moment, there was a sudden fear of murderous intent.
The hairs all over his body stood up, and he moved his hands quickly, controlling the four puppets around him to provide close protection.
next moment--
Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!
laugh!
The blade slashed through, and under the destruction of lightning, the earth wall collapsed instantly.
Kakashi chopped the earth wall apart.
Behind him, Minato Namikaze arrived first despite starting from behind.
The Rasengan was instantly imprinted on the puppet that was making the seal.
at the same time.
bump!
The puppet exploded and poisonous fog rushed in all directions, but Minato Namikaze also turned into a shadow in an instant and disappeared without a trace.
This is a shadow clone.
Then, a gust of wind swept towards the scorpion.
The scorpion is fearless.
The poison brushed his face, he just took a pill and then shrunk the surrounding puppets.
"The rebel ninja of Sand Village, Scorpion of the Red Sand."
Namikaze Minato's true form walked out from behind Kakashi and said, "I've been on guard against you."
He couldn't help but glance at Jing Yan.
On the road before.
"Senior Minato, Kakashi, Gai, the opponent is a genius puppeteer from the Sand Village. We'd better not fight in close combat. Use shadow clones or ninjutsu to defeat the enemy."
The current situation is exactly what Jingyan expected.
Otherwise, with Minato's fighting style, he would not use shadow clones as a substitute for a surprise attack.
"Konoha's..."
Scorpion glanced behind him, his eyes lit up and he said, "That guy, is he the one who slipped through the net before? I didn't expect you to bring him here, very good! I want to thank you!"
Immediately, he used his ten fingers to control and shrink all the puppets.
however.
While he was talking, above him, Xiaonan had quietly and silently wrapped the detonating talisman in the paper and detonated one of the human puppets.
She is not afraid of drugs or machines.
She was not afraid even after the poison exploded, but after blowing up the puppet, she looked to the other side.
Below, Jing Yan nodded slightly.
He had heard it, so—
We must fight quickly!
Whoosh!
Three figures appeared and instantly turned into a beam of light and rushed forward.
Scorpion glanced around.
Immediately, another puppet quickly formed a seal, but when he was about to complete the seal, one of the three figures running over suddenly sped up.
In the blink of an eye, I was already in front of it.
The knife was unsheathed and cut off with both hands.
"You want to kill my puppets one by one? Naive idea!"
Scorpion sneered, then manipulated his fingers, and the puppet's wounds with both hands cut off immediately shot out countless thousands of bullets, which came towards the figure and Minato Namikaze and others behind him.
Each of these needles is highly poisonous.
As long as you rub a little bit, the toxin will quickly burst out and spread.
But the one standing in front of him was not even a shadow clone, but just an afterimage created by an ordinary clone technique, and the four behind him disappeared in an instant.
Suddenly, the other two of the three figures accelerated instantly.
Waiting for Scorpio to react...
The other party is already in front of me!
The blade scratched his neck, but in an instant, Scorpion's body turned into sand, finally collapsing and dissipating.
The next moment, there was a loud explosion from underground.
The detonating talisman exploded, and along with it flew countless poison needles.
At the same time, the surrounding puppets attacked the two.
Water and thunder intertwined, and brilliant lightning spread all around.
Traps, poison, puppets.
This is the most common method used by puppeteers.
When facing Scorpion, such methods will only be more numerous and more unpredictable. The combination of puppets, traps, poisons and ninjutsu is strange and terrifying.
however.
His opponent...
Wow!
Paper flying.
Xiaonan swooped down from the sky and gathered in one direction in an instant. Then, papers flew in all directions, making a series of explosions.
Boom boom boom!
Amid the continuous explosions, a figure fled in a panic.
While running away, he manipulated the many puppets with his fingers, and his figure moved towards another place.
Another confrontation has broken out over there, and...
Familiar Chakra.
Chiyo.
His grandmother.
Scorpion looked around, dealing with Konan's origami and detonating tags while paying attention to Minato Namikaze and Kyohiko.
Those two are the real enemies!
Konan is very difficult to deal with, but she can only use ninjutsu to restrain him. The opponent's ninjutsu consumption must be considerable, and the detonating tags are limited after all, so it is impossible to achieve unlimited explosion.
but.
Given the speed of those two, he would have no chance of winning if they got close to him. Scorpion knew this very well.
and so.
He has been controlling the puppets, making them as...
what?
Scorpion looked forward in horror.
Over there, a puppet fell silently. Although poison was released, the opponent had disappeared without a trace when the poison appeared.
Do not!
exist……
"here!"
Scorpion suddenly detonated a puppet prematurely.
Under the burst of chakra, the thousands of weapons and mechanisms rushed in all directions in an instant, but he was horrified to find that the opponent could still move around and turn in advance at such a terrifying speed.
How can it be?
Is this a human-possible response?
Soon, he noticed that the one who killed the puppet was not the tall, blond man, but the short black-haired man who was younger than him.
unreasonable!
The Scorpion Man was dumbfounded, and...
If the small ones are so scary, then wouldn’t the tall ones be even more terrifying?
At this moment, Scorpion, who has always been arrogant and self-righteous, finally realized that a puppeteer has his limits.
While controlling the puppets to protect himself, he took out the scroll with one hand, trying to unlock more puppets.
but.
Just as he was about to do so, a phantom suddenly flashed before his eyes.
Immediately—
Magnificent fireball technique!
A huge fireball came towards them, and Minato Namikaze formed seals with his hands, and the fireball covered a large area.
Scorpio dare not be careless.
He controlled six puppets at the same time, releasing ninjutsu one after another to protect his surroundings.
however.
The next moment, boom!
Xiaonan controlled the last detonating tag and blew up a dirt wall.
Then, a column of water came from outside.
The Red Sand Scorpion's pupils shrank, and he immediately shrank back to avoid it, but soon, the opponent's water column dispersed and turned into an ordinary water stream, followed by a spread of thunder.
Over the past period of time, Jingyan has been discussing Lightning Release Ninjutsu with Kakashi.
Although he has not yet mastered the specific Lightning Release Ninjutsu, the Lightning Release attribute has been fully developed. At this moment, he uses the chakra dagger to guide the Lightning Release Chakra into the already changing water waves.
The water is rushing and the thunder is everywhere.
The scorpion's body froze, paralyzed by the lightning and unable to move.
Although Jingyan himself was also hit by a considerable amount of electric current and was temporarily unable to move, he still had a partner -
The figures of Minato Namikaze intertwined.
In an instant, the figure moved forward and the large Rasengan exploded.
Although Scorpion unleashed two puppets to protect him, the power of the Rasengan was too terrifying. In the paralyzed state, he had no time to cast a spell to resist. The rotating chakra was unstoppable and shattered in the blink of an eye.
Bang!
The scorpion flew backwards and turned into a streak of light and rushed backwards.
Konan saw an opportunity and wanted to control the origami, but she felt dizzy just after dispersing some of it. She had to reduce the scale of the ninjutsu and forcibly change the technique, turning the three pieces of origami into shurikens and flying them out.
The scorpion has lost the ability to fight back.
He tried hard to avoid vital points, but was still hit by the shuriken and finally hit the stone, unable to move.
The long marks on the ground showed how terrible Minato Namikaze's Rasengan was, and the deep, blurred flesh and blood on Scorpion's chest showed that he was seriously injured and unable to move.
Namikaze Minato gasped repeatedly.
Just now, he and Jingyan used shadow clones and instant body movements to kill the enemy, which consumed a lot of chakra.
In order to avoid the erosion of the poisonous fog, Jingyan even used the Kaimen and Xiumen of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu.
Finally...
The scorpion's real body was hit by them!
Namikaze Minato stepped forward.
"Scorpion, you deserve to die!"
As he spoke, he created another shadow clone and approached Scorpion carefully.
There was a flash of despair in the scorpion's eyes.
At this time, there was a chaotic sound from the other side. Flames were burning a forest. In the firelight, Chiyo rushed over here, shouting, "Stop!"
but.
Minato just glanced at her.
Then, he said indifferently: "Chiyo, you can bet on who is faster, you or me!"
"you!"
Chiyo looked angry, but still stopped.
She looked at Scorpion, and then...
Seeing the puppets lying limp on the ground, Chiyo's eyes were filled with shock and horror.
She couldn't believe it.
"you?!!"
"It's you, grandma. I didn't expect that. Wasn't it the Third Kazekage who came here? How come it's you who came here now?"
Scorpion leaned against a tree, blood gushing out of the wound on his chest, but his face looked lazy, as if he was not the one injured at all.
Even so, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.
Chiyo was very disappointed and said, "You actually studied this forbidden puppet technique!"
"Traditional puppetry is too weak. This is the eternal art."
Scorpion smiled weakly.
Chiyo looked at Minato Namikaze: "He is a ninja from Konoha, he is a traitor to our Sand Village, I want to take him back to be punished..."
"Chiyo, there's no way I'll let you take him away!"
Minato Namikaze's face was cold and full of murderous intent.
"Do you Konoha want to steal the secrets of our Sand Village?"
Chiyo immediately threatened with "confidentiality".
Namikaze Minato narrowed his eyes, full of murderous intent but said nothing, and took out a shuriken from the hand of his shadow clone.
He is not good at talking, but better at...
kill!
At this moment, Jing Yan spoke.
"Elder Chiyo, we respect the confidentiality of your village, but the Red Sand Scorpion is also the target of our client. He killed an entire village of my client and paid us to help capture him for revenge. So I'm sorry, we can't hand him over to you."
As he said this, he pointed to Kurokawa who walked out from his hiding place behind him.
Kurokawa looked at Chiyo with a face full of resentment and anger: "He called you grandma? You guys in the Sand Village are really in the same group. If he was taken away by you, how could he die?!!"
Chiyo opened her mouth, but was finally speechless.
She really didn't expect that Scorpion would kill an entire village for a human puppet, and the victim was right at the scene, leaving her no chance to refute.
Chiyo closed her eyes in pain: "I will pay compensation!"
Jingyan was about to refuse immediately, but on the other side, Kakashi and Kai were unable to stop the enemy and were knocked out one after another, and then retreated towards this side.
He is temporarily unable to move and cannot provide assistance.
"What kind of compensation can bring back the lives of my family members?"
Kurokawa gritted his teeth.
Chiyo took a deep breath and said, "If you refuse to agree, then we in the Sand Village will have no choice but to assume that you are trying to steal secrets, and we will fight to the death with you!"
She then pulled out two scrolls.
After the seal was lifted, ten puppets in white appeared.
Ten people in Chikamatsu!
"Although I am old, I still have some skills. Can you still defeat me in your current state?"
As she spoke, hatred flashed in Chiyo's eyes.
She wants to take action by force and kill the people of Konoha!
Just about to take action.
"And us?"
On the other side, two people came up instantly, one with long red hair covering his eyes, and the other with orange-yellow hair and a look of anger on his face.
"The ninja who attacked ours from the Red Sand Scorpion will surely die today!"
Chiyo was stunned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, the ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village also came to support.
There was pain in her eyes, and she said, "Let's do this."
"I only want an intact body. As long as I can leave my grandson with an intact body, I will not take action. Otherwise, I will risk my life, defect, and... protect my grandson's body!"
Chiyo shed tears, but her face was full of sadness and helplessness.
Whole body?
Chiyo wants to use her own life to revive Scorpion?
Jingyan immediately realized Chiyo's intention, but at this time, the other party had the Ten Kinmatsu People in his hands, and Kakashi and Gai in the back were no match for the Yekura team, and their situation was already in danger.
He sighed to himself.
Chiyo for scorpion...
It’s hard to say which one is more disadvantaged.
Although Chiyo is not as good as Scorpion in puppetry and poison, Scorpion is a madman. With his personality, how could he tolerate the Third Kazekage?
Even if I return to the village, I can endure it for a while, but as long as I continue to study human puppets, it will backfire sooner or later.
of course.
The main reason is that they have no better choice in the current situation.
Jingyan chose to remain silent.
Yahiko and Nagato looked at each other.
If the other party changed his words, they would have no excuse, and it seemed normal to leave the body intact...
They looked at Minato Namikaze.
"it is good!"
Namikaze Minato no longer hesitated.
He gathered his chakra and threw the kunai in his hand, accurately piercing the throat of the Red Sand Scorpion.
The young face closed its eyes completely.
Minato then let the shadow clone move closer, picked up the kunai and stabbed it into the heart again, which made Chiyo grit her teeth but she could do nothing.
Then he turned around and said, "You can take him away now, Guicun."
"Thank you."
Chiyo held back her tears and controlled the puppet to pick up Scorpion. Then she was surrounded by the Chikamatsu Ten and left with the rest of the people.
Ye Cang put away the fireball and remained silent.
She has no special feelings towards Scorpio, and even feels a bit disgusted.
but.
Chiyo has a very important status and role in the Sand Village, otherwise she would not have tried so hard to protect the other party.
Kurokawa fell to the ground, crying bitterly.
"Sister, everyone, the ninja master of Konoha has helped us get revenge!"
"..."
The words that came to Minato Namikaze's lips turned into a silent sigh.
The person is already dead, what is the use of admonition?
It’s late. I wrote it very slowly for the sake of quality.
