In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 29: What Happened to the Scorpion's Poison
The main reason why they could play like this was that the little boy's performance was slightly higher, and he pursued extreme agility, leading by too much in speed, which allowed him to maintain an undefeated situation.

Being able to create such a puppet at the age of nine, is this the level of talent of a puppeteer who is expected to be the second best in the history of the ninja world?
But if it's just this level, it's not enough.

Qingshui controlled the fat man and took heavy steps towards the scorpion. At the same time, a row of bullet holes popped up on his shoulders and he shot poisonous needles at the scorpion.

Scorpion waved his left hand, and the Salamander quickly stood in front of him with its shield open.

And Shimizu didn't care. Both sides knew very well that although poison needles and kunai were common long-range attack methods used by puppeteers, unless you were an Uchiha with the Sharingan and could throw ninja tools in a variety of ways, these things would not be able to effectively attack inanimate puppets.

He just forced Scorpion to use Salamander to defend, and temporarily could not concentrate on controlling Black Ant, allowing the little boy to use his speed advantage to pull it back.

Then...

"Black Secret Technique: Air Fist!"

The air valve in the fat puppet's left arm opened, converting the ultra-high pressure of compressed air into mechanical energy, and with the blessing of chakra, he punched out.

The black ant was knocked away in an instant, hitting the wall and falling into small pieces.

That was when the black ant tried to use its six spiked arms to counter the pneumatic fist, but was shattered into pieces by a single punch.

Scorpion's heart sank.

I had witnessed the terrifying power of the Qingshui Puppet before, but I still underestimated it.

The black ants made of new materials were unable to compete head-on with it.

Scorpion took the initiative to change his strategy and used the chakra lines again to control the black ant to fight the little boy. At the same time, he began to retreat quickly, and always kept the salamander blocking the route between himself and the fat puppet.

So far, the Fat Golem's only shortcoming is its speed.

Although the flexibility is acceptable, the speed is inevitably affected due to the large tonnage.

Although it is much faster than an ordinary person running at full speed, it is still slightly inferior to ninjas who regard speed as a basic skill.

"I've observed that during previous missions, you only used your puppet-generating ninjutsu after a while. It seems that this technique consumes a lot of chakra. If I keep fighting you like this, do you think you can still win?"

A smile appeared on Xie's handsome face as he looked at Qingshui.

"You can try and see whether my chakra runs out first or the black ant collapses first."

Qingshui's expression was calm, but he was secretly happy that Scorpion guessed wrong.

The biggest cost of launching the pneumatic fist is to use the chakra line to operate the air pump and compress the gas into the cylinder.

Although the consumption of chakra is not small, but in fact, under a reasonable mechanical structure, the consumption of chakra is far less than Scorpion imagined.

The biggest reason that limits the fat puppet from launching pneumatic punches lies in the hardware. The speed at which the air pump compresses the air and the air pressure that the cylinder can withstand are both limited by the materials.

If the pneumatic fist is used frequently and without regard for the consequences, the air pump will be damaged and cannot be used anymore, which is equivalent to using the durability of the puppet in exchange for a short-term burst.

Qingshui would not do such a thing unless he encountered a very dangerous situation.

"Black Secret Technique: Extension Maneuver."

The fat puppet instantly split into more than a dozen individuals and flew out, quickly reassembling itself in front of Qingshui.

Without Qingshui's own weight, the fat puppet's speed increased rapidly, and it rushed towards the scorpion like a tank.

"boom!"

The powerful pneumatic punch hit the shield on the surface of the salamander, creating a hole of moderate depth.

Scorpion spread his legs and hurriedly distanced himself, and then turned sideways to avoid the thousand swords shot from the shoulders of the fat puppet. What was worse was that after being severely injured by the fat puppet, the threat of the black ant to the little boy had been greatly reduced, and it seemed that he was about to collapse.

Scorpion acted decisively and pulled Black Ant back to his side at the cost of Black Ant's two hands being chopped off.

A mechanical twisting sound was heard, and the black ant took the initiative to detach the remaining four limbs, opened its abdominal cavity, and ejected a number of thin tubes.

Shimizu, who vaguely guessed what Scorpion was going to do, also began to retreat, and reached out and used chakra lines to pull the little boy back to his side as quickly as possible.

As Qingshui expected, a large amount of green poisonous smoke floated out of the pipe.

Shimizu used the chakra line to activate the switch on the little boy's mechanical arm, then quickly released the chakra line and formed seals with his hands.

Three slender blades quickly popped out from the mechanical arm and began to spin, blowing air.

And Shimizu's ninjutsu has been completed.

"Wind Release: Gale Wind Palm!"

Although it was only a relatively basic C-level wind-style ninjutsu and its power was not very great, there was still a surge of wind, which not only blew all the poisonous smoke back, but the strong wind pressure also forced Scorpion to hide behind the Salamander to avoid being injured.

But the billowing poisonous smoke is not so easy to avoid.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

The limbs of the salamander suddenly huddled on the ground, motionless. The scorpion lay on the ground, coughing loudly and foaming at the mouth.

"Um...are you okay?"

Qingshui used wind escape again to blow away the poisonous smoke and asked Scorpion.

"The antidote... the antidote is in the ninja tool bag..."

Scorpion's face turned blue and he spoke with difficulty.

Qingshui hurried to the scorpion, found the antidote for it, and poured it into his mouth with a kettle.

A few minutes later, when the antidote had evaporated, Scorpion's complexion finally returned to normal.

"I'm not saying this, you're really cruel. It's just a sparring match, is it really necessary to use such poison?"

Qingshui quietly took an antidote pill and complained to Scorpion.

"This is just a neurotoxin made from the juice of the green poisonous cactus and a volatile agent. The effect is to paralyze the body and cause muscle spasms."

Scorpion wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said lightly.

"Then...does anyone else have the antidote?"

Scorpion sneered and said:

"I made this poison myself. Although it's not very toxic, I mixed something into the volatile agent. It's not easy for ordinary people to detoxify it..."

"You two little brats! Why did you put poison in the base for no reason? If you want to test the poison, there is a special place for you to do it. If this wasn't a puppet army, you two would have been thrown into the Anbu prison right away for murdering the villagers and threatening the safety of the village!"

A gong-like voice came from the side of the training ground. Sunagami Sayama, who had a brotherly figure, was shirtless and wearing a gas mask, walking towards here with a vicious look.

"Antidote!"

A palm as big as a palm fan was stretched out in front of Qingshui and Xie.
