Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

How the hell are we supposed to fight like this?!

The puppets surged towards Scorpion, but no matter how Scorpion tried to gain control, it was all in vain, with no response whatsoever.

Namikaze Mirai fused the metal inside the puppet's body, greatly enhancing his ability to control the puppet.

With Scorpion's methods, the possibility of seizing control has been almost completely eliminated!

In his haste, Scorpion could only pull out the second scroll from his back.

Two jets of water, imbued with immense pressure, shot from his palm. These two jets possessed terrifying cutting power, like two daggers that cleanly severed the charging puppet the moment they made contact!

At this moment, Scorpion's heart was filled with intense fear!

His puppet body also contains metal!

What would happen if Namikaze tried to manipulate him in the future?

The village of Sunagakure on the ground.

As the Sand Village ninja watched this scene, terrifying memories hidden in their minds resurfaced.

In the Third Shinobi World War, Mirai Namikaze used this method to slaughter the puppeteers.

Even though Chiyo improved the puppet-making process after the war, minimizing the metal content in the puppets, she could not erase the fear hidden in their hearts.

Chiyo clenched her fingers tightly, her eyes filled with worry.

The Akatsuki member who was controlling the puppet gave her a strange sense of familiarity; he was suspected to be her grandson Sasori, who had been missing for many years.

She was too far away to confirm.

The opponent is already at a disadvantage; if they are killed by Namikaze Mirai...

How should she face it?

"Obito, are you really not going to make a move?"

Outside Sunagakure, on a raised sand dune, Black Zetsu turned to look at Obito beside him.

Both Sasori and Hiruko are members of the Akatsuki organization.

If Akatsuki is killed here by Namikaze Mirai, Akatsuki's strength will be weakened.

The subsequent plan to capture the tailed beasts will also be affected.

Black Zetsu hoped that Obito would intervene and save them.

With Obito's space-time eye technique, he might not be unable to do this.

Obito's response remained a denial.

"Now is not the time."

Having exposed his abilities here, Namikaze will surely be more cautious in the future.

Moreover, intangibility is not invincible.

The last time he encountered Miku Namikaze outside Konoha Village, he almost met his end.

If he hadn't prepared a three-tomoe Sharingan beforehand, he probably would have used Izanagi with his remaining Mangekyou Sharingan.

Within the Akatsuki organization, there are also factions among its members.

Hiruko and Sasori, recruited personally by the leader, belong to the Nagato faction.

Kisame, whom he recruited, and Zetsu, who was by his side, belonged to his faction.

It might not be entirely a bad thing that Namikaze killed Hiruko and Scorpion.

This would at least weaken Nagato's faction and indirectly strengthen his control over the Akatsuki organization.

Looking at Obito's profile, Black Zetsu vaguely guessed what Obito was thinking.

The shrewd and calculating man chose not to expose him and never mentioned the rescue plan again.

For Black Zetsu, Obito was a pawn second only to Madara, and his value naturally exceeded that of the two Akatsuki members.

air.

Sasori of the Red Sand is nearing his limit.

If it weren't for the puppet body that kept him from getting tired, he probably would have been exhausted and fallen off the bird's back long ago, facing so many puppets.

"Damn it! Hiruko, are you done yet?!"

Scorpion turned his head and glared angrily at Bei Liu Hu.

He was fighting desperately behind them, while Hiruko seemed unhurried. If Namikaze Mirai really caught up with them, they would all be finished!

"Hang in there a little longer!"

Beiliu Hu responded through gritted teeth.

He made ample preparations for this operation to capture the One-Tailed Beast, including not only the capture process but also his escape afterward.

The thought of this made Hiruko so angry that his teeth itched!

If it weren't for Miki Namikaze, they would have already successfully captured Ichiochi by now!

If we don't bring Yiwei back, how will we explain it to the leader?

But this thought only lasted for a moment before it was quickly dismissed by Hiruko; the most urgent matter was to escape back.

He took out a scroll from his bosom, spread it out on the back of the strange bird, revealing the intricate patterns on the scroll.

If Orochimaru were here, he would immediately recognize this as a scroll for a reverse summoning technique.

Although we didn't catch a single one, we'll at least get rid of this troublesome one.

Hiruko glanced at Sasori Akasago out of the corner of his eye.

He's been unhappy with Scorpion for a long time.

Let's take this opportunity to get rid of Scorpion!

"Hiruko, what exactly are you doing...?"

Having reached his limit and about to continue his tirade, Scorpion suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from his waist, and his body was sent flying backward uncontrollably!

Hello, you!

The scorpion, which had fallen from the strange bird, stared incredulously at Hiruko on the bird's back.

The latter stood on the bird's back, a playful look in its gray-brown eyes, and opened its lips to utter a string of silent words.

As the scorpion fell, it saw Hiruko's lips moving.

Goodbye, Scorpion.

"Do not!!!"

boom!

A thick white mist appeared, and Hiruko, along with the strange bird beneath him, vanished.

All of this happened in a very short time.

The scorpion's unwilling roar came to an abrupt halt, and the surrounding floating puppets swarmed up, their brutal attacks simultaneously landing on him.

The scorpion's body was dismembered, and the puppet's body shattered and fell during the attack.

Witnessing this scene, Mirai Namikaze's eyes lit up with interest.

Did they kill each other?

Hiruko's action of kicking the scorpion off the strange bird was quite subtle, but it couldn't escape his eyes.

You possess the escape method of reverse spirit communication, yet you don't want to involve Scorpion. Do you intend to eliminate him through my actions?

The fact that Hiruko could kill her teammates in such a ruthless way shows that her character and viciousness are unmatched by ordinary ninjas.

and many more!

It seems that Namikaze Mirai has discovered something.

His azure eyes swept around, finally settling on an inconspicuous puppet in the corner. A cylindrical regeneration core with the scarlet character "Scorpion" written on it was slowly drilling into the puppet.

"interesting."

As long as the core is not destroyed, will the main body not die?

If he hadn't sensed the unusual biomagnetic field, he might not have noticed the scorpion's subtle movements.

These two members of Akatsuki are both more cunning than the other.

If I'm even slightly careless, he might really get away.

A suction force came from his palm, pulling the regeneration core and the nearest puppet together to his side.

After careful consideration, Miki Namikaze did not destroy Sasori's core, but instead took out a scroll to seal it.

After doing all this, they turned their gaze to the Sand Village on the ground.

This is Sunagakure territory after all, so as the Hokage, he naturally had to go down and say hello.

In the village of Sunagakure, the Sand Ninja, looking up at this scene, had his Adam's apple bobbing, and his forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

powerful!
