Jinlian Island, deep in the dense forest.
Scorpion shed his outer shell, revealing his puppet form.
"Not bad, you actually managed to break my Scarlet Amber." Sasori mocked.
Although the Cloud Village had broken his Hidden Blossom, only three people remained at the scene.
The rest of the people were injured by the Third Kazekage's iron sand combined with Hiruko's poison needles and died on the spot.
After all the needles were used up, Hiruko was destroyed.
Samui and his two companions, knives drawn and on guard, exchanged glances.
The three covered each other as they attacked the scorpion.
The Third Kazekage spread his arms, and countless arms attacked the three of them.
Clouds flow, swift slash!
Karui let out a soft shout, his body crackling with electricity, his speed increasing dramatically as he slashed at the arms.
Samui nimbly dodged and followed closely behind.
Cloud Flow - Flying Blade!
He leaped up, and lightning gathered on the tip of his blade as he slashed down.
With a flick of his finger, the Third Kazekage's left hand unleashed countless blades, blocking Samui's lightning blade.
Omoi took the opportunity to get closer to Scorpion's true form.
Cloud Flow - Crescent Moon Slash!
The sword light flashed out swiftly like a crescent moon, unleashing a wide-range slash.
Scorpion's fingers danced, showcasing the mastery of a top-tier puppeteer.
The Third Kazekage's severed arm released kunai and spread poisonous smoke.
Karui parried the kunai with his sword and held his breath to retreat from the range of the poisonous smoke.
At that moment, Samui's lightning blade severed the blade extending from the Third Kazekage's arm.
Unexpectedly, another blade popped out and struck Samui's lightning blade directly.
Fortunately, Samui's lightning blade was sharp, and he was only knocked back, but had to retreat in the face of the spreading poisonous smoke.
However, Omoi's Crescent Moon Slash failed to work.
There was a clang.
It struck the thick iron sand barrier.
The scorpion's front was fortified with iron sand.
Omoi had no choice but to evacuate quickly.
Sasori abandoned the arm that had been summoning him and pulled the Third Kazekage back a little.
Notice the huge notch in the blade that the Third Kazekage popped out.
It seems that the blades of the Hidden Clouds are exceptionally sharp.
The scorpion's mind raced.
The Third Kazekage abandoned the destroyed arm mechanism.
More iron sand kept escaping from the mouth and body.
Along with the iron sand on the ground, they all shot into the sky, gathering in the air to form huge needle-shaped beams.
Magnet Release Technique: Giant Iron Sand Needle!
At that moment, the Third Kazekage's chest was also suddenly ripped open.
Magnet Release chakra surged forth, and the giant iron sand needles hurtled toward the three of them like arrows!
Everyone quickly used their skills to dodge.
Karui was a little slow, and the iron sand tore her clothes.
Blood immediately seeped out.
Samui yanked Karui hard, preventing another iron needle from exploding on her head.
Omoi stared intently at the approaching iron needles, dodging to the side while forcefully swinging his weapon to strike the tip of one of the needles.
With a sharp sound, the iron needle was split into clumps of sand and fell to the ground.
"His knife skills are quite swift."
Scorpion gave a faint compliment, then, glancing out of the corner of his eye, noticed that Karui's leg was injured, and flicked his fingers lightly.
The third-generation wind group BA WU ER shadow's sand iron once again rose into the air YI LING SI, ER QI BA reorganized into a triangular pyramid and a rectangular block.
The triangular cone spun, hurtling towards Omoi with a whistling sound.
Omoi nearly dropped the lollipop he was holding in his mouth; it was clearly something that couldn't be touched directly.
He quickly used the trees to dodge left and right.
The rectangular object then headed straight for Samui and the others.
Samui was agile, but with Karui as a burden, he was having a rather awkward time dodging.
Boom! Boom! Trees were mercilessly felled by the iron sand.
At this moment, the three of them no longer cared about fighting back; all they could think about was escaping.
After several exchanges, all the surrounding trees had been destroyed, and the three Yunyin members were panting heavily, their situation critical.
Scorpion revealed a cold smile. The obstacles have been cleared, and it's time to send you to the underworld.
The triangular pyramid and the rectangular iron sand are interlocked.
Chakra continued to surge within the Third Kazekage's chest.
"Sand Iron Boundary Law!"
Iron sand, like twisted and spreading tree roots, burrows deep into the ground.
bass!bass!bass!
The iron sand twisted and pierced the soil.
Without any cover, the group was left scrambling and disoriented.
Karui's foot injury had not yet healed, and now it was pierced through by iron sand.
Karui groaned in pain and collapsed to the ground.
Omoi tried to step forward to protect him and swung his sword down, but the sword bounced back and slipped from his hand.
The situation is becoming increasingly critical.
.....
boom!
A sharp whistling sound suddenly came from afar.
Sasori caught the sound of the wind, and the Third Kazekage immediately stood guard beside him, with iron sand flying around.
call out!
A cat demon surrounded by blue flames darted through the dense forest in an instant.
A fierce burst of chakra erupted, rapidly attacking Sasori.
Scorpion's eyes narrowed, and with a flick of his finger, several hidden weapons flew out from the parts that had just landed.
They headed straight for Samui and his two companions.
Samui and his two companions were nearing the end of their lives; without Wood Release techniques to rescue them, they would surely die.
Wood Release had no choice but to abandon the offensive and hurriedly retreat to defense.
Wood Release techniques are swift as lightning; sharp claws extend and deflect incoming projectiles in a few swift movements.
When I turned around, the scorpion had vanished without a trace!
Wood Release suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and he deactivated his Tailed Beast transformation.
·····Requesting flowers·········
Karui is seriously injured, and delaying will have serious consequences.
Due to massive blood loss, Karui turned pale and fell into a coma.
Omoi was also covered in scrapes and his weapon was nowhere to be found.
Samui is in slightly better condition, but he is still struggling alone.
All the other Cloud Village ninja who accompanied them perished on the battlefield.
Seeing the enemy retreat, Samui quickly bandaged Karui's wounds.
"Return to base immediately!" Wood Release gave the order, preparing to take the three back to base for treatment.
"Damn Uchiha, they just had to be absent at this crucial moment."
Wood Release was filled with resentment. Previously, Uchiha had been staying at the base every day, and Wood Release and Yaoyue had another argument.
The Uchiha clan used reconnaissance as a pretext to send all its members out.
Now, things have gotten worse; they've run into a real expert.
The man just now was a renowned figure, the infamous Sasori of the Red Sand from Sunagakure. Almost no one from the Cloud Village who was injured survived.
They never expected that such a master of poison as Scorpion was hidden in this place, and could only watch helplessly as their companion died from poisoning.
Samui's squad was able to hold out until Wood Release arrived, entirely by luck.
Even more astonishing is that there is also a puppet that is proficient in the secret technique of iron sand. Isn't this a unique skill of the Third Kazekage?
Unexpectedly, Wuyin was able to invite such a master.
Karui and Omoi were both Chunin; their survival was purely by chance.
