The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Dozens of feet away, the spatial passage opened, and Hinata Zechen's figure suddenly stepped out from it.

"Gotcha! Die!"

The next moment, the air above surged wildly, and the scorpion descended from the sky with its wings spinning on both sides of its body. The steel cable extending from its abdomen shot out like a serpent, and the spiral slashes formed on both sides of its arms blocked all space for evasion.

There are always many limitations to using space-time ninjutsu. Just as I suspected, your space-time ninjutsu can only open a straight passage and can only change the distance, but it cannot freely choose the landing point!

Scorpion's eyes were filled with smugness and cruelty; the spiral slash and the spikes at the end of the steel cable had blocked any possibility of evasion.

The spiral slash cut through Hyuga Zechen's body, and countless liquids splashed out, but they were not bright red blood, but clear water columns.

Hinata Zechen's lips curled slightly, seemingly mocking Sasori. The next moment, his entire body transformed into water, splashing and scattering on the ground.

The flaws you can guess are just traps I deliberately set.

No matter how powerful a technique is, it should never be used twice against the same opponent. This is a combat principle that has been engraved in Hyuga Sawatatsu's bones after countless real battles in the training camp.

Water clone?

Watching the purple droplets of venom splashing everywhere, Scorpion felt a sense of foreboding.

The next moment, the sunlight overhead was blocked by shadows.

The Wind Shadow Puppet silently appeared behind Scorpion while he was fully focused on attacking.

The mechanism on the Wind Shadow Puppet's left arm was activated, and a long horizontal plate extended from each side of its palm, covered with densely packed runes that emitted a faint blue light.

Puppet Technique: Thousand Hands Manipulation!

Suddenly, arms emerged from the talisman, hundreds of puppet arms clenched into fists and slammed down on the scorpion.

Scorpion slightly turned its body, seemingly trying to manipulate its rotors to change its flight direction and avoid the attack. However, the attack range of hundreds of puppet arms was so vast that after merely avoiding the frontal attack, it was blasted into its body by seven or eight puppet arms.

Bang!

With a deafening roar, the scorpion's body instantly shattered into pieces, its color changing to a yellowish-brown sand, before being completely crushed by the puppet's arm.

The technique of creating clones from sand.

At the edge of the giant pillar formed by hundreds of puppet arms, the scorpion's true form emerged, its eyes revealing a resolute look. Its rotors began to spin rapidly again, carrying the scorpion's body into flight once more.

That idiot Kakuzu still hasn't shown up; he's probably encountered a formidable opponent. Without the help of his comrades, reclaiming the Kazekage puppet is virtually impossible. It would be better to leave for now, then use Akatsuki's intelligence network to find out the other party's identity before avenging today's humiliation!

After making up his mind, Scorpion's already extremely fast speed increased even more, and his entire body shot off into the distance almost touching the ground.

"It's too late to escape now!"

A massive shadow once again loomed over the scorpion. The Wind Shadow Puppet spread its arms, and a pair of giant bird wings made of highly compressed iron sand sprouted from its back. The iron sand feathers on the wings gleamed coldly, their tips locked onto the scorpion below.

Magnet Release: Sand Iron Wings!

Even though the Iron Sand Feather was still in the stage of gathering its strength, Scorpion already felt the rotors on both sides inexplicably sink, and a strange connection was formed with the Iron Sand Feather in the sky.

Oh no, it's magnetic locking!

As the creator of the Wind Shadow Puppet, Sasori naturally understood that each of the iron sand feathers possessed tracking capabilities, and once launched, its speed was so great that it was difficult for the eyes to follow. Once the iron sand penetrated the puppet, it was enough to completely paralyze the puppet's main body, rendering it helpless and at the mercy of the enemy.

Whoosh!

Just as Scorpion had predicted, with a sudden tremor of the giant bird's wings, iron-sand feathers fell like raindrops, instantly covering a distance of more than ten feet around Scorpion.

Click!

With a tearing sound of metal, the two still-spinning rotors detached from the scorpion's arms and rose into the air under the pull of rotational inertia and magnetic force, instantly becoming the target of the concentrated fire of the iron sand feathers.

The gecko severs its tail, discarding the bladed rotors that serve as targets to draw fire, thus creating an opportunity for its escape.

Sasori's lower body had already begun to turn into sand, and he was falling straight down to the ground, clearly intending to use a ninjutsu such as Sand Body Flicker to burrow deep underground and then escape the battlefield.

Standing at the head of the Kazekage, Hyuga Zetsu's eyes narrowed. He controlled the Kazekage puppet to swoop down at high speed. The blue light of his Tenseigan flickered, and he instantly locked onto Sasori's regeneration core.

Soft Fist - Bagua Empty Palm!

Hinata Sawatatsu formed his five fingers into claws, his palm slightly concave, and struck out with a palm towards the falling scorpion from afar.

A white stream of energy erupted from his palm, forming a wave of air that blasted towards the scorpion.

As if sensing something, the scorpion twisted its body in mid-air just before landing, allowing the shockwave from its attack to barely graz its body, leaving a palm print two zhang deep on the ground.

Click!

The scrolls on the scorpion's back were hit by the aftershock, and the remaining two scrolls tumbled out.

Damn!

Sasori reacted with extreme agility, flicking his index and middle fingers to send out two chakra threads, attempting to retrieve the fallen scroll.

Magnet Release: Giant Iron Sand Needle!

The Kazekage puppet also activated its ninjutsu immediately, conjuring up sharp iron sand spears as thick as an arm, which bombarded Sasori across a wide area.

Boom boom boom boom!

More than ten iron-sand spears slammed into the ground, each one reduced to only one-third of its original length, the majority of which were deeply embedded in the earth.

The scorpion still managed to escape...

Under the control of the Wind Shadow Puppet, the Iron Sand Spear was pulled out by an invisible force, and the tip of the spear was not stained with any blood.

Under the Byakugan's gaze, Sasori's chakra had penetrated deep into the earth, and then displayed an astonishing speed, disappearing from the Byakugan's field of vision in the blink of an eye.

Upon landing, Hyuga Zechen's eyes lit up. After carefully putting on a pair of gloves, he pulled out a scroll with a yellow background and a red scroll from a crevice under the rubble.

Clearly, under the immense pressure of Hyuga Zetsu's relentless attacks, Sasori only managed to retrieve one of the fallen scrolls, while the other became his current spoils of war.

red!

This is the only font on the scroll surface.

Could it be...?

As chakra was injected into the scroll, figures dressed in red robes shot out continuously from it, blotting out the sky with a loud cracking sound, numbering as many as two hundred and eighty.

The accumulated skills of Scorpion over twenty years, including the Crimson Secret Technique: Hundred Machine Manipulation, are all contained within.

From this moment on, I also possess the power to destroy a country.

Looking at the sky full of red-clad puppets, Hyuga Zechen suddenly felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, and the negative emotions of Sasori's escape were swept away.

Chapter 27 Unexpected Reinforcements

In a valley, Hinata Sawatatsu's water clone leaned against a boulder, breathing lightly.

"Damn it, are you a rabbit? All you can do is run away?"

Kakuzu stood in the center of the valley, staring intently at the target hiding behind the boulder, the black lines emerging from his body swaying in the wind.

Kakuzu, who was nearly ninety years old, had never encountered such a slippery ninja. As soon as he launched an attack, whether it was ninjutsu or taijutsu, the target would run away as fast as he could, showing no intention of fighting Kakuzu.

Most importantly, the opponent's Body Flicker Technique had reached the level of a Jonin, and even Kakuzu had no way to deal with it for a while when he was trying to escape with all his might.

For almost the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two were chasing each other, which made Kakudo feel a little anxious.

Scorpion hates waiting for people the most.

And that mysterious enemy with space-time ninjutsu, has he already escaped?

However, Kakuzu was reluctant to abandon the pursuit and reunite with Sasori. After all, the price of a pair of Byakugan was equivalent to Kakuzu's earnings from a year's missions.

"You are a great figure in the ninja world who has fought against the First Hokage. What else can I do but run for my life?"

Hearing Hinata Sawatatsu's voice coming from behind the boulder, Kakuzu's face turned as black as ink, his once proud achievements now a source of ridicule.

I should have kept quiet. If that slippery brat had just been willing to fight me head-on, wouldn't I have easily taken him down with my skills?

It's just that the ninjas of Konoha revered the First Hokage too much, and upon hearing of my formidable record, they were unwilling to engage me in direct combat.

Kakuzu slowly lowered his arm, and black threads, like plant roots, burrowed into the ground, silently propelling his detached arm deep underground, attempting to gradually approach his target before emerging from the ground to launch an attack.

However, just as his arm reached into the ground, the white-eyed boy behind the rock seemed to sense something, leaping up like a rabbit shot by an arrow and bursting forth with astonishing speed as he sprinted away into the distance.

Damn it, that awful eye roll!

The 360-degree white vision rendered Kakuzu's usually brilliant sneak attack completely ineffective, forcing him to hastily retract his arm and continue his frantic pursuit.

Kakuzu understood that if he did not take the initiative to change, such pursuit would only be fruitless, so he directly changed his form.

As its back bulged, the wind and lightning attribute masks detached from its body, wrapped in numerous black threads, forming two Earth Grudge Monsters. They crawled on all fours like ferocious beasts and chased after the enemy.

Lightning Release: False Darkness!

As blue lightning crackled incessantly across the body of a grudge monster, dazzling thunder began to gather in front of the mask. Amidst a deafening explosion, a sharp spear of lightning shot out in a zigzag pattern toward Hyuga Zechen's back, piercing through numerous trees and rocks in its path.

Unable to ascertain the status of his main body's battle, the water clones could only try to buy time. Now, Kakuzu has completely lost his patience, and it is foreseeable that he will face an incredibly fierce attack next.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!

Faced with the attack of the Lightning Release ninjutsu, a wall of water rose up behind Hyuga Zechen, using the rolling water and its conductivity to immediately guide the incoming lightning to the ground.

Wind Release: Pressure Damage!

Another Earthly Grudge Monster suddenly leaped high into the air, spewing out an incredibly violent high-pressure whirlwind from its gaping maw.

Before the storm ball even hit the ground, its volume had already increased dozens of times, forming tornado-like storms. Wherever the gale passed, large trees were uprooted and then cut to pieces in the wind; the earth was also churned up with dust by the wind blades, and everything in the entire area was completely leveled by the storm.

"Isn't this guy afraid the storm will shred his white eyes?"

The water clone muttered a complaint to itself as a large amount of clear water gushed out from under its feet, rushing forward and forming a small stream half a meter deep, starting from its feet.

Before the storm engulfed him, the water clone, who had formed a hand seal, transformed into a stream and disappeared from Kakuzu's sight in an instant.

The next moment, at the end of the stream dozens of feet away, the water clone re-condensed and floated up, continuing to rush forward without looking back.

"Isn't this Hanzo the Salamander's signature Water Flicker Technique? When did even Konoha ninjas become so proficient at it?"

Kakuzu gritted his teeth in anger, watching his opponent continue his rampage, and had no choice but to lead the two Earth Grudge Monsters to continue the chase.

What good is Water Instantaneous Body?

Based on the strength the opponent has shown, at most he is a special Jonin, and a special Jonin who only learns escape ninjutsu.

Kakuzu, relentlessly pursuing his goal, finally understood why the four great ninja villages had always coveted the Byakugan, even going so far as to place exorbitant bounties on the black market. But apart from Ao of Kirigakure, no one else could possibly possess the Byakugan.

However, according to the intelligence, isn't the Hyuga clan known for their Gentle Fist style of close-quarters combat? When did a young ninja emerge who has mastered Water Release to such a high level?

Both Kakuzu and the Earth Grudge Monster were slightly faster than the Water Clone. After a chase, they were once again brought within the range of ninjutsu attacks.
