Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1237 Revealed
What Qingming could think of, Uchiha Shisui, who was in the midst of it, could naturally think of as well.

However, he didn't want to reveal his Mangekyou Sharingan so quickly, so he directly summoned the Ino-Shika-Cho trio for assistance.

Fortunately, because of his restraint, Scorpion's control over the ten puppets decreased, and the others took the opportunity to destroy four of them, while the remaining six were also damaged to varying degrees.

Thus, Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Hachidai, who also possess the three-tomoe Sharingan, could easily handle the situation.

With the arrival of the three members of the 'Ino-Shika-Cho' ANBU, Sasori's pressure increased sharply.

The three of them didn't hold back. After a brief struggle, they seized an opportunity and unleashed their family's secret technique.

The Yamanaka clan's secret agents are not worth mentioning, as they cannot sense Sasori's spiritual body and can only use the "Mind-Communicating Technique" to connect the four people in the field, making their cooperation even closer.

Meanwhile, the Nara clan's ANBU accurately predicted Sasori's movements and, using the shadow cast by Sasori's stinger, used a shadow technique to briefly control his actions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Akimichiyama unleashed his chakra and used the Multiplying Technique to transform himself into a giant ball of flesh. He then activated the 'Human Bomber' and crashed into Hiruko, who was hiding behind Sasori.

bang~
A violent crash sounded.

under the moonlight.

A sandstorm erupted, and the sounds of fighting around them seemed to stop abruptly. Even the six puppets that were besieging Uchiha Tetsuka and Uchiha Hachidai not far away ceased to move.

"Did you make it?"

Uchiha Tekka flashed to Uchiha Shisui's side, slightly out of breath.

Before Uchiha Shisui could answer, a series of cracking sounds suddenly came from ahead, as if something had split open.

As everyone looked closely, through the thinning sand, they could see several two-finger-wide cracks on the puppet they were fighting, some of which were even broken.

Clearly, this has reached its limit.

Upon seeing this, everyone couldn't help but show expressions of joy.

However, they failed to notice that the point of contact with Akimichi was not the side of the puppet that he had initially aimed at, but the demon face part on its back.

This is the hardest part of Hiruko.

Clearly, at the moment the two collided, Scorpion manipulated Hiruko to break free from the shadow's restraints and adjusted his own form.

Although the result showed that this failed to stop Akimichiyama's "human bomb tank", it gave Sasori the opportunity to launch a counterattack first.

Suddenly, he raised his arms and activated the mechanism inside.

Immediately, the two cylindrical objects were launched into the air and then suddenly opened.

Instantly, a barrage of poisonous needles, like a torrential rain, shot out in all directions from the two cylinders.

"careful!"

The moment Sasori raised his arm, Uchiha Shisui issued a warning.

However, this still did not protect everyone from the attack.

Scorpion's attack this time was incredibly fast, with a wide range, and the dim lighting added to the effect, plus it seized the moment when everyone was off guard.

It can be said that the right time, the right place, and the right people all came together.

Therefore, it is normal that the crowd was unable to dodge in time.

The first to be affected was a Nara clan ANBU ninja. Sasori managed to adjust his body and forcefully break free from the 'Shadow Binding Technique' he had cast, which caused some backlash to his spirit.

This slowed his reaction time, and three poisoned needles pierced his body.

Next to fall victim was an ANBU ninja from the Yamanaka clan. His sensory abilities were indeed quite good, but he was ultimately only a special Jonin, and his raw strength was somewhat lacking.

Therefore, after dodging the first wave of poison needles, he was still hit in the arm and waist by two subsequent poison needles, losing his fighting ability.

Then there's Akimichiyama.

After unleashing the 'Human Bomber Tank', the chakra does protect the entire body, but only during the attack. After the attack, it stops working.

Furthermore, he was very close to Sasori. Although he immediately began to retreat after Uchiha Shisui issued a warning, he was a step too slow and was hit, thus losing his fighting ability as well.

Finally, there's the Eighth Hokage of the Uchiha clan.

Being situated between two cylinders meant he was subjected to the most concentrated attacks. Even with his Sharingan helping him observe the trajectory of the flying needles, he was still grazed by a poisoned needle.

The venom developed by Scorpion was clearly much stronger than that of the puppeteers they had encountered before. Even a mere scratch caused him to feel dizzy and his combat power to drop significantly.

However, Uchiha Tetsuka, who was standing right next to Uchiha Shisui, was not injured despite taking a heavy hit.

However, this is not something to be thankful for.

Because of this attack, they lost three and a half combatants. Although apart from Uchiha Yatsuho, they were all relatively weak special jonin, their losses were still significant.

Uchiha Shisui's gaze swept over the four people, knowing that he could no longer hide anything.

Even if this might lead some people in the family to have unrealistic expectations afterward, he must now reveal his true strength.

In any case, he could not bear to watch his comrades sacrifice themselves when he had the strength to do so.

Having made up his mind, Uchiha Shisui no longer hesitated. He looked at Uchiha Tekka beside him and said in a serious voice, "Tekka, find an opportunity to take the others away later."

"what?"

Uchiha Tetsuka was completely bewildered, not understanding what he was going to do, but Uchiha Shisui had no time to explain.

Seeing that Sasori had once again manipulated the puppet to raise its arms, Uchiha Shisui immediately used a Body Flicker Technique to step forward and block the way for everyone.

Then, he raised his hands, quickly formed hand seals, and once again used the 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique', condensing a fireball five or six meters in diameter, which he then smashed straight at Sasori.

Sasori, hiding in the Scarlet Amber, felt a little strange upon seeing this scene.

There's no other reason than that at such close range, even if the opponent's hand seals are incredibly fast, he can still launch an attack.

At that time, using ninjutsu might make it impossible for them to dodge the attack.

Logically speaking, after fighting for so long, Uchiha Shisui shouldn't have made such a basic mistake.

But that's exactly what he did.

Scorpion couldn't understand it.

However, he didn't think much about it. While he was thinking, he had already made Hiruko open her mouth and cast the Puppet Technique - Needle Eight Waves once again!

In an instant, hundreds of poison needles shot out from his mouth, all aimed at Uchiha Shisui and an area around him, blocking all his escape routes.

However, as expected, Uchiha Shisui did not stop using his technique and dodge.

A series of "clanging" sounds rang out, and all the poison needles were blocked by a green figure as they flew towards Uchiha Shisui.

On the contrary, the fireball that Uchiha Shisui spat out hit Sasori precisely.
