The number of characters in the Sunagakure storyline is not as large as that in Konoha, and Yubi currently has very limited access to them.

Some of the story characters from Sunagakure haven't even been born yet... He didn't expect that healing story characters would actually give him an experience bonus.

"If there's a bonus to positive experience points from healing, does that mean I can also get a lot of negative experience points from killing story characters?" A thought popped into Yubi's mind.

However, he didn't think about it too much, because there were other wounded people waiting for him to treat.

Scorpion's injury gave him a deeper understanding of the system's capabilities.

Time passed little by little.

Soon, the unconscious scorpion woke up.

He glanced at his bandaged wound, then looked at Yubi who was walking over.

Suddenly, he said, "The human body is really fragile..."

These words made Yubi's heart skip a beat.

It's no wonder that Sasori made such a statement. They lived during the Second Shinobi World War, and the fierce competition between the various ninja villages caused the village ninjas to be quickly depleted. Especially on the battlefield, they could witness their comrades die one by one.

"The fact that Sasori transformed his body into a puppet might have been inspired by this, but more likely it was because of his parents."

Yubi thought to herself, but smiled and said, "You've just overdrawn your chakra, your injuries aren't serious. Take a good rest... You're a genius of our Sunagakure. If something happens to you, I won't be able to face Granny Chiyo."

"Is the city about to fall?"

Scorpion changed the subject.

It was now late into the night of the second day.

Apart from Sunagakure, whose injuries were too severe to move, there were very few people left in the underground chamber.

"We can hold out for at most another hour. If reinforcements don't arrive, we'll have to find a way to move." Yubi's expression was also a bit serious.

In the current battle in the canyon, almost all of Sunagakure's personnel are fighting with injuries and cannot hold out for long.

Meanwhile, Yubi and his crew, hiding in the stronghold, faced a thorny problem.

Once the intelligence personnel return, have them withdraw.

With so many patients in the sealed room, it's unlikely that just a few of them could take them all away.

This means that some companions must be abandoned.

The brutality of this war is chilling.

"What are you going to do?"

Scorpion slowly got up and put on his headband.

Yubi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately stepped in front of him.

He saw through Scorpion's intention to join the war.

"Get out of the way."

Scorpion stared indifferently at Yubi.

"You are my patient now, and as your doctor, I am naturally responsible for your condition... I'm sorry, you must rest now and cannot move around freely," Yubi said.

Swish.

With a flick of his arm, Scorpion gripped a puppet scroll tightly in his palm.

"By now, you should have very few puppets left..." Yubi glanced at the scroll and smiled. "Even if you join the battle, it won't change the current situation... you'll just be throwing your life away."

"My puppetry skills can control more than just puppets."

Scorpion said softly, "If I wanted, you could become my toy too."

"You like me that much?"

Yubi seemed oblivious to the hostility hidden in Scorpion's cold expression, and raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a row of small white teeth.

He knew Sasori wasn't lying. Although there were many puppeteers in Sunagakure, only Sasori could truly create human puppets... His puppetry could control corpses and create chakra cores, ensuring that the human puppets could perform some of the ninjutsu they used in life.

Although Scorpion's skill in creating human puppets is not yet highly advanced, it is already showing promise.

During the battles of the past two days, Yubi also discovered that Scorpion had begun to intentionally collect and study some 'collectibles'.

Yubitian's shameless words made Scorpion frown slightly.

This was the first time he had ever realized how shameless this guy was.

"I'll say it again, get out of the way."

"Scorpion spoke," he said.

"No."

Yubi laughed.

boom!

A puff of white smoke erupted from the reel, and a snake puppet silently landed.

At the same time, Scorpion's fingers began to twitch.

It's obvious they're going to make a move against Yubi.

Whoosh!

Under Scorpion's control, the snake puppet, like a streak of lightning, flashed through the air and lunged at Yubi.

But Yubi reacted quickly, not only bending down to dodge, but also taking advantage of the moment when the puppet was airborne, taking a step and rushing in front of Scorpion, attempting to attack him at close range.

Most puppeteers' weakness is their fear of being attacked at close range.

Scorpions are clearly not included in this list.

As Yubi approached, Scorpion remained expressionless. The snake puppet in mid-air suddenly split in two.

The puppet's lower body instantly transformed and reassembled into a neck cuff, which flew to the back of Yubi's head and precisely locked his neck.

As the neck cuff tightened, Yubi suddenly felt unable to breathe.

Pulled by the force of the chakra threads, it was thrown several meters away.

Clearly, Scorpion didn't intend to kill Yubi; he just wanted to teach him a lesson.

Just as the scorpion took a step, preparing to leave...

Suddenly, my eyelid twitched.

He raised his hand and saw that the chakra threads on his fingertips had broken, and the other half of his puppet had fallen to the ground.

At the same time, Yubi, who was not far away, reached out and grabbed the neck cuffs on his neck, and with a forceful tug, threw the restraints to the ground.

"It was just a feint... His real purpose was to sever my chakra threads."

Scorpion narrowed his eyes, staring at Yubi, who had neutralized his attack.

"Chakra Scalpel..."

Sasori sensed the chakra that had been dissipated in Yubi's hands.

He actually knows this kind of ninjutsu?!

"Puppet masters are the most prized fighting force of Sunagakure... It doesn't matter if they are outsiders, but as one of our own, I certainly know a lot about puppet masters. Besides... I've been observing you quite a bit these past two days, just like you've been secretly observing me."

"Of course, if I'm in good form, I'm definitely no match for you, but now... the situation is different."

Yubi stretched his neck, continued to smile, and looked at the silent Scorpion. "Your wound is on your left abdomen, touching the nerves in your ribcage. The pain there is extremely intense. Any movement of your arm will be deformed due to the nerves. Although you have been trying to restrain yourself, you can't hide it from my eyes."

"I'm in the same boat as you, but I haven't had a break at all. To be honest, I'm in terrible shape right now... But even so, if you can't handle me like this, are you really going to go out and die?"

"If that's the case, then do as you please."

"I can only express my regret for Granny Chiyo."

"At the same time, I'm very disappointed in you."

As she spoke the last sentence, Yubi's smile faded, and her gaze became calm.

Seeing this, the others in the secret room also remained silent.

The two boys in front of him, though young and seemingly just kids, had already established their 'status' in the base and were the captains of the medical team.

Needless to say, Sasori is not only a genius on whom the village places high hopes, but also a member of the Chiyo family... As long as the situation doesn't escalate too much, it's best for others not to interfere in the conflict between these two.

After a moment of eye contact, just as the atmosphere became somewhat tense, Scorpion turned around and sat back down in his original seat.
