Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 555 Going into battle
And, the most important point is.

The puppeteer cannot be too far away from the puppets, otherwise, he will not be able to control the puppets at all. The chakra threads are not that long, and the conduction of chakra cannot be completed at a super long distance.

Nagato's Six Paths Pain puppet is a bit special in that it must be within a certain range. Otherwise, when attacking Konoha, there would be no need for Nagato to send out his real body.

This is almost common sense in the ninja world.

It cannot be said that the judgment of these light ninjas was wrong.

As a puppeteer, Scorpion was indeed following behind his own puppet army.

The light ninjas can easily discover it without spending much energy or time.

After all, the control of the chakra threads is a little too obvious.

Scorpio is not worried at all about his location being discovered.

"it's here!"

"A puppeteer has been found!"

"Where are the others!?"

"No!? It seems there is only one puppeteer!?"

The group of light ninjas who first discovered Scorpion thought it was a group of puppeteers acting separately. You know, there were hundreds of puppets fighting in front. It is said that the strongest puppeteer in the Sand Village could only control ten high-level puppets at a time. Judging from the number, there must be at least hundreds of puppeteers. It is impossible that every puppeteer is the top one! ?
However, when these light ninjas pressed closer to Scorpion, they discovered a horrifying fact.

That is, the chakra threads that control all the puppets in front all originated from this red-haired boy.

In other words.

There is only one enemy! ?

Such a judgment simply shocked the eyes of these light ninjas, because they had never heard of or seen a ninja who could control hundreds of puppets!

Moreover, they seriously misjudged a fact.

That is Scorpion as puppeteer.

Its own strength is also extraordinary!
Because he has turned himself into a puppet.

"Whoosh!"

"Peng!"

Unable to judge the situation, these light ninjas thought about getting rid of Scorpion first, the moment he approached.

"hehe!"

Scorpion just smiled coldly.

Chakra bursts out synchronously.

He didn't even need to control the puppets around him. His speed was far beyond that of an ordinary jonin as he pushed forward with all his might.

"Pfft!"

In a moment.

The light ninja in the leading position had his heart stabbed directly by Scorpion!
With a forced twist.

"Well!?"

"Wow!?"

Broken internal organs.

Blood splattered all over the ground.

This ninja, who was considered a captain-level ninja in the Hikari Village, died at the hands of Scorpion.

"team leader!"

"Red flame!"

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you!"

"Revenge for the captain!"

The companions who were almost killed instantly further stimulated the hearts of the light ninjas nearby.

Completely blinded by hatred, these light ninjas completely ignored the gap in strength between each other.

They swarmed and launched a more violent attack towards the scorpion's position.

"Lightning escape technique - ground-walking technique."

"Water Release - Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

As Scorpion's eyes were caught by the ninjutsu that was released one after another, the face of this puppeteer who was arguably the most talented in the ninja world still showed a cold expression.

A gentle swing of the right hand.

"Buzz!"

next second.

Above the ground, there were countless clouds of dust rising up, blocking the view below.

Missed vision.

"Whoosh!"

In the void.

There was only a human figure flashing by.

"Pfft!"

"Peng!"

It was easy to get close to the surroundings of these light ninjas and kill them accurately and efficiently!

In less than ten seconds.

Those light ninjas who pressed forward to the close position of Scorpion were almost all killed.

Only the last commander of the advance team, a senior ninja wearing the latest third-generation chakra armor, of which there are only a hundred or so in the entire village, barely avoided Scorpion's fatal attack.

Including a puppet that used an earth-style enhanced technique to hit the senior ninja in the abdomen.

None of them were able to kill this Jonin from the Hidden Light Village.

"Wow? Is this the rumored chakra armor? It does have some tricks to it."

Scorpion showed a hint of surprise, and a rare look of interest appeared in his pupils.

Any ninjutsu, unless it is of super standard, is almost impossible to break the defense of this chakra armor.

An attack enhanced by the earth escape technique.

It was only because of the physical blow that this Jonin was hurt.

If it was a technique evolved from pure chakra, with Scorpion's level of power, it would be impossible to harm this senior ninja.

"It's a pity that this armor can't cover the whole body, right!?"

But for Scorpion, this is not a problem at all. The puppeteer is best at precise strikes!

The torso and limbs are well protected! ?
Then start with the head!
Attack from the throat.

There is no one that the Red Sand Scorpion cannot kill.

A gentle pull on the chakra thread.

"Whoosh!"

"whoosh"

Two dark brown puppets with ferocious faces attacked from the front and back, pouncing down at high speed.

"!?"

It was obvious that there was this jonin whose reaction was a little slow to keep up.

"Whoosh!"

next moment!
In a flash of lightning.

A golden flash appeared.

"Spiral pills!"

In mid-air.

A high-speed rotating chakra ball condensed in one hand flashed.

"Peng!"

"Crack!"

It was easy to destroy the two puppets that were attacking the Hidden Light Village Jounin.

"Are you ok?"

"Minato-sama! I'm fine. Nothing's wrong."

I saw that gentle face and the peaceful words that fell.

This senior ninja from the Hikage Village also showed a look of surprise. The father of his own Lord Tenkage was also the golden flash who was once famous in the ninja world - Namikaze Minato.

"You step back first and leave this to me." Minato nodded slightly.

"Yes, Minato-sama!"

Knowing very well that staying might not help Minato, and might even become a hindrance, the senior ninja decisively lowered his head in response and then immediately left the spot.

"Namikaze Minato!"

Scorpion didn't care about the departing shrimp at all. Looking at Minato who appeared in the same place, the pupils of this genius puppeteer were full of regret.

This is a natural and excellent puppet material.

Unfortunately, it is just a body of impure earth, not a real body.

"You have a black robe with a fire cloud as the background, red hair, and can control so many puppets. It seems that you should be the members of the Akatsuki organization that Menma mentioned, the genius puppeteer of the Sand Village, Scorpion."

Minato looked calmly at the Scorpion of the Red Sand opposite him and said.

Although Scorpion is not particularly famous in the ninja world, as the grandson of the respected elder Chiyo of the Sand Village, high-ranking people in ninja villages of various countries still pay a certain degree of attention to him. It should be said that various countries have different degrees of information collection on high-ranking people and their families in ninja villages of other countries.

It is to be prepared for any emergency.

Minato was once the Fourth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. Judging from his age, Scorpion is almost of the same generation as Minato. The disappearance of the Third Kazekage was shrouded in doubts, and later became the fuse for the outbreak of the Third Ninja World War. Although it was not the root cause, it was the last straw that stimulated the outbreak of the war. Naturally, Minato would pay a certain degree of attention to Scorpion.

sometimes.

You don't need evidence to doubt something.

Just doubt is enough.

Especially in the relationship between countries.

It's not about proving whether you did this or not, but as long as you have the ability and motivation, you will definitely be a suspect.

"Namikaze Minato, I didn't expect to meet you here. What a pity! I actually wanted to make you into a puppet back then. After all, there are not many ninjas who can use space ninjutsu. You are a perfect material!"

Scorpion looked at Minato with a very obvious fanaticism.

The eternal art pursued by Scorpio.

It requires countless high-quality materials to constantly break through one's own limits. In Scorpion's view, puppet life is the most perfect form. Without all the troubles of human beings, it is even possible to set foot in the realm of immortality that all humans dream of.

A bit similar to Orochimaru.

Because of the war and the death of loved ones, Scorpio saw clearly the fragility and limitations of human beings.

He fears, he desires!
Chasing that highest level.

Puppetry is the path he has chosen.

This can be seen from the fact that he made himself an almost 100% human puppet.

Scorpion had also heard of the Impure World Reincarnation technique of the Hidden Leaf Village. This forbidden technique that could summon the souls of the dead back to the living world was exactly what Scorpion needed. He would continue to study and try to see if the Impure World Reincarnation technique could be perfectly combined with his own puppetry technique!

If it is really possible.

He can truly realize his previous ideas!

This is also one of the real intentions of Scorpion joining the Akatsuki organization. Only the Akatsuki organization can give him the corresponding resources for research at all costs, and only the Akatsuki organization can allow him to do what he wants without restraint.

All it takes is some time and some energy.

Scorpio thinks it's reasonable!

Now that Uchiha Madara, a Shura of the Ninja World, has been resurrected in the Akatsuki organization, this has further stimulated Scorpion's heart.

These are his materials!

They are all perfect choices for him to reach the top and realize his dream.

therefore!

Scorpio craves everything.

The sudden change in coldness only revealed a hint of ruthlessness in his pupils.

Scorpio is a no-nonsense person.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

With a pull and a tug of both hands.

All around, there were countless puppets rushing towards the water gate.

Although Minato is not a living person and cannot be used as puppet material, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique is also something that Scorpion desires. Capturing Minato here should be able to add good data to his experiment.

For Watergate.

It is naturally better that the enemy is not Konoha’s former companion.

"Buzz!"

Between flips.

A specially made kunai appeared on the palm of his hand.

"boom!"

At the same time, an extremely strong chakra burst out from his body.

"Shh!"

"Whoosh!"

An extremely dazzling golden light constantly shuttled through Scorpion's puppets.

As the top existence at the Kage level, Minato Namikaze's only shortcoming is probably that he does not have super strong offensive means. Once he faces a creature like the tailed beast, especially a creature with super strong defensive power like the Nine-Tails, he is almost helpless.

But if we fight against humans.

Even if the opponent is the best among the super shadow level.

Minato, who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, is capable of fighting.

Minato is undoubtedly one of the top representatives of civilian combat power.

These puppets were all carefully crafted by Scorpion, and their combat power is comparable to that of an elite Chunin at the lowest level.

But under the strong attack of golden flash.

It was like thin paper and was cleaned up by Minato in no time. This was also because of the pressure brought by Minato on the front battlefield.

This prevented Scorpion from controlling the puppets on the front line more accurately, and the pressure on the fighting Light Ninjas also dropped sharply!
The puppets were destroyed almost one after another.

"Humph!"

Although he had long known that ordinary puppets could not do anything to Minato, he was surprised to see that Minato could wipe out his puppets with almost no effort.

There was still an extremely unhappy expression on Scorpion's face.

"Wow!"

Without any hesitation, he took out a special sealing scroll from his arms.

"untie!"

With one hand, he made a gesture.

"puff!"

The scroll was opened directly, and as the white mist spread out, a puppet that looked like an ordinary human appeared above Scorpion's head.

His face is almost exactly the same as when he was alive.

Only the face became extremely gloomy, coupled with the floating posture, and the circles of black sand that slowly emerged.

This celebrity puppet is Scorpio's most proud work.

"The Third Kazekage!"

The moment Minato saw the face, he recognized it immediately. Although Minato became famous in the Third World War and had never seen the Third Kazekage in real life before, this unfortunate Kazekage disappeared inexplicably before the Third Ninja World War. However, he was known as the strongest Kazekage in history after all. The Hidden Leaf Village still had relatively comprehensive information about this Kazekage, including his appearance.

Minato naturally knew it by heart.

"Magnetic Release - Sand Iron Attack Technique!"

The third generation wind shadow puppet that suddenly appeared was under the control of Scorpion and directly released a large amount of iron sand.

Countless dark cones formed in the sky!
They aimed at the location where Minato was and attacked one after another.

The moment Minato saw the puppet of the Third Kazekage appear, his heartstrings had already been tense.

The moment the attack was launched.

"Whoosh!"

Minato just made a hand gesture with one hand!

His figure flashed and then disappeared from the spot.

A fight without direct head-on contact.

Minato's target was directly against Scorpion who was a puppet.
