Chapter 1238 The tip of the needle versus the awn of wheat

A violent explosion sounded.

The fireball struck Hiruko, who was being controlled by Sasori. The already damaged Hiruko could no longer withstand the impact and burst open violently.

The next moment, a figure emerged from it.

It had a head of red hair and looked to be twelve or thirteen years old; it was clearly the scorpion's true form.

Well.
That's not entirely accurate either.

Because Scorpion had already transformed himself into a human puppet.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the 'regeneration core' in his chest is his true form.

However, the others were unaware of these details and simply assumed that this was the scorpion's true form.

Sasori looked at Uchiha Shisui, who was hiding in the green shadow, and asked, "What is that?"

Clearly, Orochimaru did not reveal the Uchiha clan's ultimate power to Sasori.

That's right, this green figure is none other than the divine power that Uchiha Shisui unleashed after activating his Mangekyou Sharingan, namely Susanoo!
Meanwhile, on another battlefield in the distance, Qingming and Orochimaru stopped fighting one after the other.

They both turned their gazes in this direction.

However, the two had completely different expressions when they saw Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo.

Qingming had an expression that said, "I knew it," clearly indicating that he had expected this.

In fact, it is true.

He had analyzed it before: facing Sasori, a top-tier puppeteer who counters the Sharingan, Uchiha Shisui would have no chance against him without activating the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Now that someone has been injured, given the other party's personality, it's perfectly normal for them to reveal this trump card.

As for Orochimaru...
His eyes were filled with surprise.

Clearly, he hadn't expected that, apart from Qingming, there would be someone else in the Uchiha clan who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After the initial surprise came a deep-seated greed.

Although he already has Itachi Uchiha, if everything goes smoothly, he can definitely obtain his own Mangekyou Sharingan.

But who would complain about having too many Mangekyou Sharingan?
Moreover, based on some research materials left behind by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and some information he found out, it seems that the Mangekyou Sharingan has some drawbacks.

At this point, it would be ideal to have an extra pair for research.

"Inhale...exhale..."

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Orochimaru suppressed his inner turmoil and turned his gaze back to Qingming.

Now a problem lies before him: how to overcome the obstacle of Qingming.

Although based on Qingming's past behavior, he could be certain that Qingming did not have much affection for the Uchiha clan.

However, he showed a different attitude only when dealing with Uchiha Shisui.

And that is the trouble.

For a moment, Orochimaru's eyes flickered.

As if sensing his thoughts, Qingming turned to Orochimaru and said, "The ultimate power of the Uchiha clan. I hope the helpers you found can hold them off."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's expression darkened.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Inahisa and Yamato gave him a deep look.

The former was wondering why he was so calm.

Uchiha Inahime was able to be placed into the Anbu by Uchiha Fugaku, which naturally shows that he was deeply trusted by him.

Furthermore, given that he has already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan and is still quite young, it is vaguely implied that there is an even more powerful eye beyond the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Based on the Sharingan aura emanating from Uchiha Shisui, he was almost certain that this was an eye with more than three tomoe.

Faced with this situation, even with the mental fortitude he had honed in the shadows, he couldn't help but feel somewhat disoriented.

But Qingming? He had a calm expression, which made him think a lot.

"Could it be that"

Suddenly, an absurd thought popped into his mind.

But he quickly suppressed it.

However, no matter how hard he tried to suppress it, the thought never left him, which made it difficult for him to calm down.

As for Yamato
More than anything, they wanted to know what the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan, which he mentioned, truly represented.

Unfortunately, Qingming had no intention of explaining.

Or rather, he no longer needs to explain.

Because while he was speaking, Uchiha Shisui had already launched an attack.

He then raised his right hand, controlling Susanoo, and in the next moment, a tomoe formed from a large amount of chakra shot out like a cannonball, heading towards Sasori.

This is the universal skill that Susanoo can use in its second stage—Yasaka Magatama!

Faced with the rapidly approaching chakra tomoe, Sasori did not confront it head-on, but instead cautiously chose to dodge.

As it turned out, his choice was correct.

The moment the magatama landed, it exploded like a cannonball.

Instantly, the surrounding sand was hurled up, spraying indiscriminately in all directions like machine gun bullets.

Left with no other choice, the scorpion had to continue hiding.

Seeing that he had already moved far away from where he was standing, Uchiha Shisui shouted at Uchiha Tetsuka without turning his head, "Go and save them!"

After saying that, he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan once again.

Instantly, the immense power of the eye materialized and converged on Susanoo.

Then the Susanoo protecting him suddenly grew larger and grew a lower body.

Not only that, but the Tengu armor also appeared on its body.

All that could be seen was a giant with wings on its back, nearly forty meters tall, who was holding a giant spiral sword in its hand.

Before anyone could react, Uchiha Shisui directly controlled the giant to take a step forward, arriving in front of Sasori, and then swung his sword down.

The next moment, sharp wind blades flew out from his sword, and before they even got close, they caused dense scratches to appear on the scorpion's puppet body.

He dared not resist directly, so he directly manipulated the mechanism in his abdomen to open it, and with the help of the steel cable extending from inside, he pushed himself dozens of meters away.

Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui's expression remained unchanged.

Because he already knew that the person in front of him, like Hiruko who they had just destroyed, was not a real person when the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan stopped working.

That's right. As early as after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Shisui had tried to use genjutsu to control Sasori.

But unfortunately, he failed.

That's why he decisively activated Susanoo, hoping to defeat Sasori in the shortest possible time.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Scorpion.

Just as Uchiha Shisui was about to attack again, Sasori reached out his right palm, opened the cover on his right chest, and took out a huge scroll.

He tossed the scroll into the air, then formed hand seals to break the seal on it.

The next moment, a figure appeared in the arena.

When faced with a sword strike from Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo, he directly conjured a massive sand iron shield to block the attack.

That's right, it's a sand iron shield.

And this person was none other than Sasori's trump card, and also his strongest puppet—a human puppet modified from the Third Kazekage, who perfectly inherited the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release.

The sand shield he just created was condensed by him controlling the Third Kazekage to use Magnet Release.
