Chapter 522
[“Are you kidding me? Unless you are a perceptive ninja, using a smoke bomb in such a narrow space is not fast enough, especially when each of your opponent’s attacks carries a deadly toxin.”]
[“Ha, a smoke bomb. If Scorpion had used some poison gas with the smoke bomb, the battle would have ended immediately.”]
[Although Chiyo reacted immediately, Scorpion’s sudden move was so powerful and wide-ranging that it was beyond imagination. After the attack subsided, Chiyo leaned against a pile of gravel in a mess, with her right hand held down by a stone.]
[As for Sakura, although she successfully avoided being pierced through the gaps between the spikes, she was still accidentally scratched on her arm during the intensive attack. The toxin took effect instantly, and Sakura fell to the ground helplessly. 】
【In response, Scorpion said with a relaxed smile: "Hehe, the poison will take effect, and she will soon be paralyzed and unable to move. If left alone, she can live for three days, but... I don't plan to do that!"】
【After he finished speaking, the Third Kazekage, under Scorpion's control, pounced on Sakura. At this time, Chiyo was pinned down by a rock and unable to help. Seeing that the Third Kazekage's poisonous blade was about to fall on Sakura, Sakura swung a powerful fist and smashed the puppet to pieces with one punch. 】
["I told you, using iron sand to condense into a block and smash it is not an attack. This kind of flowing material should be used to attack over a large area, like Gaara, erasing all the space the opponent can dodge."]
["I don't know if it was Sakura who dodged it herself or Chiyo's doing, but it's amazing that she survived such a big move."]
["She was scratched but still able to launch a counterattack. Either she was camouflaged like Shikamaru did when he fought Hidan, or she was poisoned and Sakura cured it. Either way, the Red Sand Scorpion was actually tricked by such a simple tactic."]
["Why didn't you remotely control the iron sand to kill Sakura? Why did you rush over to die? ”]
[“Didn’t you hear Scorpion say that the big move just now consumed a lot of chakra? So it’s not surprising that he made such a decision when he thought Sakura was no longer a threat.”]
[“The Third Kazekage is gone, what else will Scorpion do next?”]
[As the Third Kazekage was destroyed, the iron sand that had originally condensed into various shapes scattered all over the ground. Looking at Sakura who rushed over to help her push the stone away, Chiyo was surprised, and then saw Sakura took out a syringe and explained: "This is the antidote. There is only one left. I will give it to you, Grandma Chiyo."]
[Then Sakura explained the antidote again, saying that it can completely immunize against Scorpion’s toxins within three minutes of injection, so they must decide the winner within three minutes. ]
[While explaining, Sakura gave Chiyo emergency treatment. Seeing her panting but still standing up, Chiyo thought to herself: 'Super strength, dodging attacks, and healing all require chakra consumption. She should be almost at her limit...']
[Putting the last antidote back into her sleeve, Chiyo stood up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Sakura: "Go ahead, Sakura."]
["Okay!"]
["It's a pre-prepared antidote. It looks like Sakura prepared it herself."]
["Tsk tsk, maybe Sakura can't compare with Naruto and Sasuke in terms of combat power, but her medical ninjutsu is indeed commendable. She can actually remove the scorpion's poison. Did Tsunade have this level of medical ninjutsu when she was her age!"]
["Can this be used for comparison! Who is Tsunade's master, who is Sakura's master? They have different resources, so it's normal for them to have some achievements, okay! But later The improvement of the sequel depends on personal talent. Otherwise, there are so many people in the ninja world who study medical ninjutsu, and there wouldn't be only Tsunade as a medical expert. "]
["To defeat Scorpion of the Red Sand within three minutes, and to try not to suffer incurable injuries, although I know that this strategy is correct, the young people nowadays are really overconfident."]
["Don't even think about participating in this level of battle without this kind of momentum. In a sense, it can be said that they can achieve such great achievements in the future, as long as they can survive in battle after battle."]
[Originally, Scorpion was still thinking about why Sakura was not poisoned, but looking at the two people in front of him who were ready to attack, he temporarily put aside his doubts: 'Humph, I admit that I underestimated you, a little kid, who actually smashed the Third Kazekage to pieces. In this case, there is no point in using other human puppets.']
[While thinking, Scorpion took off his Akatsuki robe and said with emotion: "This is the first time since joining Akatsuki. How long has it been?...”]
[After seeing the appearance under Scorpion's clothes, Sakura's eyes widened on the spot, and Chiyo said as expected: "That boy has not grown older since he left, and his appearance has not changed at all. This is the reason."]
[The puppet joints visible to the naked eye, two devices with blades and four scrolls installed behind him, the abdomen is completely hollowed out and a steel cable dripping with venom is stretched out to support the body on the ground. Scorpion looked down at the two people in front of him and said coldly: "Fighting with your own body... It's been a long time since I last saw it."]
[Looking at this unbelievable scene, Sakura whispered: "He made himself... into a human puppet..."]
["Hiss! Scorpion did make a puppet transformation on himself, but the degree of transformation is a bit beyond imagination."]
["Ah this! Is there still a human part in him?"]
["Baizu has also transformed himself into a non-human. Could it be that this is the only way to become a top puppeteer? Do you have to transform yourself into a puppet to be qualified to reach the top?"]
["If you exclude the constraints of ethics and morality and transform yourself into a puppet, first, you have an additional means to deal with the enemy, second, you no longer need to worry about the enemy getting close to your body, and third, even if there are damaged parts, you can replace them at any time. From these points of view, the puppeteer's transformation of himself is indeed a good way."]
["After saying so much, have you forgotten that only Scorpion has mastered the technology of human puppets? Other puppeteers can only replace prosthetic limbs like Chiyo at most."]
["What's wrong... Aren't you here to make a break?" Scorpion slowly raised his hands and stretched out two jet nozzles from his palms: "If you don't come over, I'll start first!"]
