Chapter 184: The Scorpion of Red Sand VS Three Generations of Wind Shadows 【Seeking Monthly Pass,
A remote and hidden underground base.
Two figures were sitting in a hidden corner of the base. In front of them were several cats with different looks, but very humanistic looks and expressions.
In the dim room, the weak light illuminated the faces of the two people.
It was Toneri who never took on another mission after completing the escort mission to Yu no Kuni, and Kakuzu, the top bounty hunter who was famous in the entire underground world of the ninja world.
The two of them are sitting together now, obviously not for tea and chat.
During this period, everything that happened in Sunagakure Village was under their attention.
The two notes handed to Rosa were undoubtedly written by Toneri.
"That kid named Scorpion, is he really that powerful?"
Kakuzu, who was wearing a mask, sounded a little dull in his voice.
There was a smile on Shiren's face.
Because of his appearance and intervention, many things have changed, but there are also many things that have not changed because of his intervention.
Facts have proved that the world has not been completely changed by him, and his ability to correct it is quite outstanding.
This time the Red Sand Scorpion incident did not happen because of his intervention.
The ending may change, or it may not, but the impact is not significant.
"In your eyes, am I just a kid? What do you think of my strength?" Sheren asked.
Kakuzu's green eyes rolled at him angrily, and thin black lines squirmed under the mask.
"Can you look at this guy from a normal perspective? Don't treat you like an ordinary person. Others are different from you."
Hearing this, Toneri narrowed his eyes and the smile on his face became even wider: "Then why do you think that the Scarlet Sand Scorpion, the so-called imp in your mouth, is not a special person?"
Looking at Toneri who looked confident, Kakuzu opened his mouth to refute, but found that he didn't know where to start.
It's indeed not impossible.
"What's going on in this world? Why are there so many perverted brats like you?"
Kakuzu couldn't help but sigh.
But think about it carefully, no matter how perverted the red sand scorpion in Tomo's mouth is, there is still some gap between him and the little guy in front of him, right?
He continued: "Then what are you going to do next? That Luo Sha will obediently become a chess piece in your hands. Isn't it a bit difficult?"
Toneri also nodded in agreement: "It's not that it's a bit difficult, it's simply impossible. How could he, a person who might become the Fourth Kazekage, be manipulated by others?
But this is not a useless move that has no effect. It will work at a critical moment, but it can only be used once, and it will no longer work after one time."
Although he doesn't know what Toneri's plan is, Kakuzu knows that Toneri has many thoughts and is very heavy-minded. Every time he makes a calculation, even if it doesn't work, it is only based on well-founded calculations.
in conclusion.
"So, what about that Red Sand Scorpion that you so admire so much? You want to attract him to the organization as a puppet kid?"
If according to Toneri's calculations, the Red Sand Scorpion will become the rebellious ninja of Sand Hidden Village, and has extremely high potential. If he can be absorbed into the organization, there is no doubt that they will not even have a name yet.
organizations have a brighter future.
She just shook his head slowly.
Kakuzu is a little surprised. He is so outstanding and even praised so much that he doesn't even think about absorbing him into the organization. What is the purpose of that?
He was a little confused.
Toneri twitched his eyebrows slightly and changed into a more comfortable position, "He is not a peaceful person."
In my memory, Scorpio is also a very thoughtful and scheming person.
Huh? Why use "also"?
After Scorpion became a rebel ninja and left Sand Hidden Village, he did not immediately join the Akatsuki organization.
It was during the Third World War, and Scorpion was not active on the battlefield. He just kept improving his army of puppets. At the same time, he gathered some orphans on the battlefield, trained them as his own spies, and placed them in every corner of the ninja world, in various countries and hidden areas.
In the village.
The most typical one is undoubtedly Kabuto Yakushi, the most successful multi-faceted spy in the future.
Although Xion later joined the Akatsuki organization.
However, Scorpion and Jiao are different, and Sheren has interpersonal conflicts with him, and it's not clear whether he has other ideas if he knows that he is plotting against him.
In short, Scorpio is not a suitable candidate.
But there are other people in Sunagakure Village whom Toneri values.
Immediately afterwards, Sheren said: "However, no recruitment does not mean no contact. If there is a chance, we can try to make contact and see if we can make some transactions."
"In what name? Are you still using your own name now? It's a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Shiren rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Now is really not the time to act in one's own name. Now that the Scorpion from Sunagakure Village has started to take action, it is possible that he will kill the third Kazekage as before and become the trigger for the Third Ninja War.
So the urgent plan to make war fortune also needs to be taken early.
"Xia." Sheren uttered one word softly.
"What?" Jiaodu didn't hear clearly.
"Let's call it 'Kasumi', it sounds quite suitable for the occasion." Toneri's Chuuji soul burned brightly in his body.
Since the most famous organization in the ninja world in the future is "Akatsuki", then his own organization can be regarded as satisfying Toneri's desire to be a middle class.
"'Kasumi'? Sunset glow? The end of the ninja world? Not bad, I think it's good."
Originally, it was okay for Toneri to entertain himself there, but Kakuzu spoke so seriously, which actually made Toneri feel a little embarrassed.
He, who was as shameless as a city wall, actually blushed at this moment.
Fortunately, the light was dim and Kakuzu didn't feel anything unusual about him.
"Then let's use this name to call ourselves from now on."
Shiren said that he was still relieving his embarrassment.
"By the way, I have inquired about the 'Akatsuki' organization in the Land of Rain that you mentioned last time, and there is no trace of the existence of this organization." Kakuzu added.
Hearing this, Shiren was stunned for a moment, and then rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
That's right, with the current status and strength of Nagato and the others, the Akatsuki organization should not have been established yet, and the Third Ninja War has not happened yet. The Land of Rain is just licking the remains of the Second Ninja War.
Scar, although the living conditions in the Rain Country are not very good, without war, it will not inspire the lofty goals in Yahiko's heart.
"It doesn't matter. Pay more attention to the situation in the Kingdom of Rain. Once the Akatsuki organization is born, notify me as soon as possible."
After saying that, Shiren stood up from his position.
Kakuzu looked at him in surprise, "What? Is there a mission?"
Toneri raised the corner of his mouth, "I have never seen a battle where the shadow of a village may fall. Even if it is just because of my own soft heart, if I have the chance, I can still watch it."
"Oh? Now that you say that, I'm a little bit interested." Kakuzu's green eyes sparkled.
This is the shadow of a village. In the underground bounty world, one of the few people with the highest bounty cannot be compared to someone with 35 million taels.
The two people left this temporary underground base.
However, the battle between Scorpion and the Third Kazekage could take place anywhere in the Kingdom of Wind, especially since there are deserts everywhere, making it even more difficult to find.
So I decided to go for a walk, maybe I could meet him?
There are still general directions.
After the two left, the originally dark underground base fell silent again.
When he reappeared, he was already in the endless desert.
But even if there is a general direction, it is not easy to find, just like finding a needle in a haystack.
"I said, do we really want to waste time here? You know, time is money. I have been looking for so long and I haven't seen a single person except Sunako." Kakuzu couldn't help complaining.
After such a long time, he might be able to accept a bounty mission and transfer a lot of money.
Toneri's brows have never relaxed. Although the desert environment has little impact on ninjas of their level, it is indeed uncomfortable.
Just as he was about to speak, the shadow of a light blue cat on his shoulder slowly took shape.
Kakuzu was not surprised at all by the appearance of the two-tailed beasts. He already knew that Toneri was the two-tailed jinchuriki, and he was almost a perfect jinchuriki, and his relationship with the tailed beasts was quite harmonious.
Seeing the second tail, Toneri's eyes lit up, "Did you sense something?"
Neither of them are perceptive ninjas, but the second tail is particularly sensitive to chakra in the air, especially when there are violent chakra fluctuations.
Pointing in a direction, Erwei's voice was a little solemn, "In that direction, about twenty miles away, chakra fluctuates violently, and you can feel it even from such a distance.
It’s not easy for two people to fight against each other.”
Toneri nodded, looked at Kakuzu, and said with certainty: "It should be right there, let's go! Let's see if we can catch the leak at the last moment!"
Kakuzu's green eyes lit up, this was really a very valuable head.
They both sped up at the same time.
They stood very far away, not daring to get close, and both of them had a thick layer of chakra attached to their feet.
The Sand Control Technique of the Third Kazekage is definitely stronger than that of Luo Sha. If they walk directly on the sand, any fluctuations in the surrounding sand may attract the attention of the Third Kazekage, which will cause trouble.
Moreover, you can't get too close. You can only watch the two blurry figures fighting in the desert from a distance, setting off a monstrous wolf killing.
Although you can't see it clearly, you can tell at a glance who is better between the two.
"Isn't that the brat you were talking about fighting the Third Kazekage? The Red Sand Scorpion?"
"Yeah." Sheren responded lightly.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them frowned at the same time, "Is this the battle you said will become the trigger for the Third Ninja War?
The kid's strength is indeed not weak. He should have reached the threshold of the shadow level, or has already stepped into the shadow level. In the eyes of others, he is already an incredible strong man, but he is called the "strongest in history".
There is still a big gap between the three generations of Kazekage.
Not to mention anything else, the Third Kazekage's Sand Iron Technique alone is very restrained against that brat's Puppet Technique, so it's not like he can defeat him."
Kakuzu is very old and has been traveling in the ninja world as a bounty hunter for decades. This experience is of course quite rich. Even from such a distance, he can see the fighting situation between the two at a glance.
To say that Scorpion is at a disadvantage is to give face to Saber. People who really understand can see that the Third Kazekage is letting Scorpion fight.
Probably trying to persuade him to go back.
No matter what, Xia is the most famous genius in Sand Hidden Village, and he is also the grandson of the elder Chiyo. Most importantly, the death of Xia's parents has something to do with him.
Xie's father is the captain of his personal guard.
"I don't know the specific situation, but as far as I know, a puppet master should not just focus on the puppets he controls. Every puppet master can be regarded as an expert in using poison." Toneri squinted his eyes.
Watching from a distance.
The current situation is such that the two cannot intervene.
Judging from the strength that the Third Kazekage has shown now, even Tomon and Kakuzu may not be able to defeat him if they join forces.
The reason why people are holding back on Xia is because for the sake of Xia's parents and grandmother, they don't take full action. Once they appear, they will definitely usher in a crazy counterattack from the Third Kazekage.
Sheren has no confidence that he can beat him.
After all, this is the desert, his home court!
The two of them just hid in the distance and watched silently, and the battle between Scorpion and the Third Kazekage became increasingly clear.
As the sand and iron continue to adhere to the metal of the puppets, especially some exposed joints, the flexibility of several of Scorpion's puppets is greatly reduced.
That is to say, Scorpion is indeed talented and outstanding enough, and in this completely unfavorable situation, he can still control these broken puppets to maintain a certain degree of threat.
Toneri stared at their fight with unblinking eyes.
He also had the Puppet Book of Sand Hidden Village in his hands, and he has a certain understanding of the puppetry and puppets of Sand Hidden Village.
The puppets used by Xion at this time have nothing to do with the puppets in the Puppet Book. They are obviously puppets created by himself.
Coupled with some of his special skills in controlling puppets, Toneri has benefited a lot.
Several puppets made of ordinary materials eventually lost their ability to move under the influence of sand and iron.
However, the puppet summoned by Scorpion immediately shocked the Third Kazekage who was fighting him, as well as Toneri and Kakuzu who were watching the battle from a distance.
The four puppets look almost different from ordinary people.
Human puppet!!
The Third Kazekage's eyes widened. Although he had roughly guessed that Xia had become a forbidden human puppet, when he actually saw it with his own eyes, the shock in his heart could not be deceiving.
"Are these...are these things puppets too?" The look of surprise can clearly be seen in Kakuzu's green eyes.
Toneri looked solemn, but still nodded and explained: "A long time ago, Sunagakure Village actually proposed the theory of human puppets, and some people even practiced it at the time, but because it was too bloody and inhumane, Sunagakure was eventually killed.
The top management of the village banned it and did not record the information.
As far as I know, one of the people who participated in it was his grandmother, Chiyo, the strongest puppet master in Sunagakure Village."
After a period of silence, he continued: "The characteristic of the human puppet is that it can preserve the abilities and chakra that the puppet possessed during its lifetime. In theory, it is even possible that the blood inheritance limit during its lifetime can be completely preserved.
Therefore, the human puppet is the true pinnacle of puppetry, and as long as the human puppet is made properly, it will not be significantly affected by the magnetic escape-sand iron technique.
Scorpion came prepared, and those puppets at the beginning were just a test."
After hearing Toneri's explanation, Kakuzu once again looked at the Red Sand Scorpion and the Third Kazekage fighting in the distance.
"So, it seems that we really need to re-examine this kid called the 'Red Sand Scorpion'. I'm starting to look forward to what kind of surprises this boy will bring us."
"Keep reading."
Seeing the four human puppets controlled by Scorpion, the Third Kazekage could not suppress the anger in his heart, and his attack force gradually became stronger.
He is already prepared to take Xie back today even if he uses strong methods.
The only thing you can't do is kill the scorpion here.
Even if he had all the legitimate reasons to execute the Red Sand Scorpion on the spot here, he could not do so.
Because of the death of his parents, the relationship between Feng Ying and the group of elders headed by Chiyo was very tense. If Xia was dealt with here, then even if he really had all the legitimate reasons, he couldn't do it.
Otherwise, the Feng Ying group and the Elder group will become more and more intensified in the future.
But he didn't have the intention to kill him, but Scorpion had the intention to kill him without hesitation.
Just in terms of determination between the two, there is a gap.
However, there is a reason why the Third Kazekage is considered the strongest Kazekage in history. The Magnetic Release-Sand Iron Technique is really too strong.
He is so powerful that even Toner and Kakuzu are unwilling to face him even if they join forces.
Watching as Xie's several human puppets were slowly smashed to pieces by the agglomerated sand iron.
"A genius is indeed a genius. If he is given a few more years, he might really be stronger than the Third Kazekage. He is still a bit behind now." Kakuzu couldn't help but sigh.
Toneri glanced at him with a bit of regret, but shook his head and said: "I said, the puppet master can't just look at the puppets. Now that we are calculating, the time should be almost up, and we have to decide the winner."
Just as Shiren finished speaking.
The Third Kazekage, who was originally full of energy, suddenly turned red in the face, and a mouthful of blood spat out from his mouth, scattering on the desert, leaving a few scarlet blood stains.
As he spat out a mouthful of blood, the Third Kazekage's entire face turned pale, and all the iron blocks he controlled suspended in the air fell.
The heavy sand and iron blocks hit the sand, creating huge dents.
He looked shocked and disbelieving, having no idea when he was poisoned.
Scorpion controlled his two remaining broken human puppets and looked at the Third Kazekage who was kneeling on the ground with an ugly expression, and a smile appeared on his face for the first time.
His eyes were full of uncontrollable excitement.
This was the one he was eyeing at the beginning, the only person he could make into a perfect puppet.
