Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

The puffer scorpion laughed and said, "It's useless. No matter how scattered you are, you can't escape from this storm. And if all the paper that makes up your body is ground into powder, what will happen to you? To be honest, I'm a little curious..."

“Hua La La La La…!!!”

The strong wind carried the messy paper stream and swept towards the spiral. Scorpion knew clearly: "Your favorite woman will not stand by and watch her die, right? Then, where will you attack from?"

On top of the cone tower in the west district, Pei Ai stood facing the wind. At this moment, a crosshair appeared in the image of his 'Ashura Road Samsara Eye'. He raised his right arm, and made a gun gesture with his thumb and index finger. Another crosshair appeared in his eye. The center point of the two crosshairs overlapped with the 'eye of the storm' hundreds of meters away, forming a straight line!

——Shura Road·Thunder Sniper!

"Scorch!" A razor-like lightning flashed by... the vortex sucking the wind came to an abrupt stop!!!

too fast! !

"What!? What's going on...!!!" Scorpion, who couldn't even detect any signs, could only infer based on the phenomena.

"The wind suction device is broken? No, it happened at this time!!! It was destroyed by someone!! In a place where I can't see, using an attack that I can't react to!!!"

The wind suction device and the spiral slash are integrated into one, but they are two different mechanisms! The wind suction stopped, but the spiral slash was still working.

“Hua La La La!!” The pieces of paper stopped before the spiral cut and reassembled into the shape of Xiaonan…

——Shikigami no Mai: Ritsu!!!

The paper rolled into a sharp-edged paper wheel, which rolled forward and hit the "rod" of the spiral cutter. Under the violent cutting of the paper wheel, the rod broke with a sound, and the spiral cutter flew away, leaving a horrible cut mark on the ground, and then stopped...!

Xiaonan then turned around and looked behind him.

Scorpion followed her gaze and spotted the burly figure with long flowing hair standing on the awl! !

"Hahaha, as expected, it was you who did it!!"

"BOOM!!!" The puffer scorpion's soles ignited with fire, and using that fire as propulsion, it soared into the sky.

"Let me see how far my current art is from your ophthalmology (eye technology)...!!!"

The watermelon scorpion rushed forward in the fire with half of its mouth open. Although his head was only half, the "water escape device" at his throat was not affected!

——Puppet killing technique: Kusugome Kiri!!

The powerful water column cut through the buildings along the way like tofu, and slashed towards Pei Ai standing on the top of the cone tower! !

Pei Ai's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Oh? Is it the water escape mechanism that split the rain in half earlier?"

"Crack!!" The lightning escape technique covered Pai's entire body, and he was able to face the water escape technique known as 'Kuromokumo' with just his arms!

"You are finished if you overestimate your own abilities!!!"

"Crack!!!" Cong Yunqie shot at Pei Ai's arm covered with lightning, and the water flow dispersed! !

“What…!? It can’t even be cut!” Scorpion said in horror.

Pei Ai looked at the "golden particles" flowing in the surging water.

"I see. By blending 'corundum' into the water and combining it with ultra-high pressure, it becomes a truly indestructible water knife. It seems that you have racked your brains to perfect the puppet mechanism in the past six months. If it weren't for the Shurado created by the Third Raikage, you would have really vindicated the traditional puppetry!"

“Bang!!!!” He leaped up, punched the torrent of Kurogane, and approached the puffer scorpion forcefully!!!

As the distance shortened, Scorpion could see the figure and appearance of the person coming clearly! !

“You, you are…!!!!”

"Scorpion!!! To honor you for coming all the way here!! I will use this guy's strongest skill during his lifetime to give you a warm welcome!!!"

Pei Ai raised the "international friendly gesture" towards the puffer scorpion!

"Crack...!!!" The extremely powerful lightning chakra gathered on the raised middle finger!

When Ai was alive, he usually used his index finger to do this move!

But Nagato was better at using his middle finger than his index finger... or, using his middle finger and ring finger together! Of course, that was something Konan experienced soon after!

On the high tower, Nagato said cautiously: "Be careful when using this move, don't kill Scorpion, cooperate with the 'Sharingan'!"

"Zizi!" Nagato's right eye turned into a 'Sharingan'!

At the same time, Pai's right eye also responded by turning into the 'Sharingan'!

——Hell’s Stab·One-Handed Punch!!!

“Crack!!!!”

The strongest spear, powerfully pierced through the armor made of the puffer scorpion alloy steel...!!!

"Boom...!!!" At this moment, the built-in catapult device catapulted Scorpion himself into the sky behind him.

Pei Ai was slightly surprised: "Oh? There is an emergency escape device. This is really a comprehensive consideration. It seems that I was worrying too much..."

"Crack!" Pei Ai pulled out his arm.

The 'Human Puppet·Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost' lost control and fell heavily, collapsing the building below.

Scorpion landed on the top floor of another building. His proud art was crushed again in the same field, and he couldn't control his annoyance! !

"Boom!!!" He punched the water tank standing next to him. The cables that emerged from under his sleeves wrapped around the entire water tank, pulled it up along with the base, and threw it towards the building next to him!

"Boom boom boom!!!" A hole was smashed in the wall of the building, and a large amount of water was flooded in it. Although it did not collapse, it would be a huge project to repair it...

At this point, Scorpio has finally come to terms with it.

It's impossible to win, but I can't lose too badly...

"Wow!" He formed a seal with his hands, "Let me show you my latest artistic achievement!!!"

——Parasitic line·Activate!

"Swoosh!" Thick fog suddenly covered the sky over Yuyin West District without any warning.

Pei Ai stared at him: "Hmm? Could this technique be..."

"Crack...!!"

The golden lightning spread to Pei Ai's feet without warning, and then turned into vines and climbed up Pei Ai's body!

"Oh. Are you going to restrict my actions?" Pei Ai murmured.

Without any warning or sound, a fierce sword came across and slashed fiercely on Pei Ai's neck!!!

--"clang……!!!!!!"

Chapter 128 Scorpion's Entry

"Dang!" The big knife broke with a sound, and the flying blade spun and penetrated deep into the wall twenty meters away.

Pain's left eye opened.

——Shura Thunderstorm Instrument!

"Crackle...!!" A hemispherical lightning field was activated, covering ten meters around Pei Ai, and the golden lightning that was wrapped around his feet was instantly dissipated...!!

The figure who was using the fog as a cover and slashing at him with an unknown sword was forced to be unable to get close to him again!

"Crack, crack...!" A rough mechanical hand emerged from Pei's right shoulder, with lightning chakra input into it. The palm was facing the direction where the blade was flying.

——Shura’s magnetic hands!

"Pah~!" The input lightning chakra was transformed into the equivalent of 'magnetic chakra', which then produced a magnetic effect! !

"Crack, squeak...!!" The broken knife that was deeply stuck in the wall shook violently for a few times and then flew back into the magnetized hand.

Pei Ai lowered her eyes and looked away.

"So it is... the 'Beheading Sword'?"

"Then it's not hard to guess that the one who released the golden lightning from under my feet just now was... the Thunder Blade Fang."

"The human puppets of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen used their swords from their lifetime and combined them with the Mist Hidden Technique to launch a 'silent assassination technique'? That's quite interesting."

"Ding ding ding." The infrared sensor of Pei's left eye's Samsara Eye has identified the two people hiding in the fog, ready to make a move!

"Heh, using 'Thunder Missiles' to destroy you instantly is fine, but I want to see what you look like after you become puppets!"

"Crack!" Pei Ai opened his mouth wide, and a beam of plasma condensed at his mouth. This beam of light could clear impurities in the air, and had an excellent effect in clearing obstacles such as haze and sand dust that blocked the vision!

"Swish~swish~swish~!" Pei Ai shook his neck, and the beam of light trembled and spread out like a twist. The thick fog covering the area was quickly cleared away.

Hundreds of meters away, on the roof of the building, Scorpion looked at this scene and quietly clenched his hands, "I thought he would use rough means to crack the Mist Hidden Technique, but I didn't expect him to do such a delicate job..."

"I can wield a heavy staff and twist an embroidery needle. Don't worry, Kakuzu! I will take good care of Yugakure's homeland!"

The fog has lifted...

Those two human puppets...

Pei Ai murmured to himself, "Is that so... Kurochu Raiga, Biwa Juzō, and Xiguashan Fuguki, the three survivors of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of this world from Might Dai, have all become your human puppets, Scorpion."

"However, compared to the confirmation of the identity of the human puppet, what surprised me the most was..."

His gaze passed over Raiga and Juuzou and fixed on the rooftop where Scorpion's true body was located, several hundred meters away.

The Sharingan in his right eye... could see clearly that there was indeed a 'chakra line' connecting Scorpion and the two human puppets!

"Is that so... Scorpion, have you also moved from wired networks to the wifi era?"

Scorpion knew that if he continued to fight, his art would only be tarnished, so... he chose to end this "greeting" in a more decent way. He lifted up his robe, opened the spiral slash folded at his waist, and spun rapidly!

The spiral slash spun, creating an airflow that made him float in the air. He raised the corners of his mouth and dived towards the confrontation area! !

In order to show off his power, he did not avoid the buildings along the way. He used the spiral slash to open a path, violently cutting through the walls, stone pillars, water pipes, etc. that blocked his way...

Amid the sounds of earth and rock collapsing, metal breaking, and buildings collapsing, he came nearby and used the chakra lines released from his five fingers to forcefully pull out the 'Human Puppet·Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon' buried deep in the ruins and threw it heavily to the ground.

After retracting the chakra line and spiral slash, he did a beautiful somersault and landed in front of the two human puppets, facing Pei Ai.

On the Yuyin Tower.

Konan, who had already returned to Nagato's side at that time, saw this scene in the crystal ball and frowned.

"This guy, he obviously suffered a defeat, but he still boasted about his strength. It's really unbearable to watch."

"Nagato, I remember you mentioned that the Rinnegan has a move called 'Chibaku Tensei', right? You haven't used it yet, why not use it and let this ignorant fellow see how powerful it is?"

Nagato smiled and said, "That sounds like a good idea. But having Pain Tendou make a special trip just to boost momentum will only make it less impressive. Anyway, Scorpion didn't go too far, so just let him be."

……

Facing Pei Ai, Scorpion said with emotion: "Half a year has passed since we last met. You have really changed a lot. Where is the Third Kazekage? Have you abandoned him?"

Pei Ai said: "No, I have been looking for a chance to tell you that the Third Kazekage suffered irreparable damage while carrying out a major plan related to my future, and has retired heroically!"

"Oh... Is this the plan you and Orochimaru secretly agreed on?"

"Do you want to know the plan? I can tell you~"

"Hmph, forget it. I'm not interested in this kind of thing. I'm only interested in things related to my art."

Pei Ai smiled and said, "Amazing! How did you do it? You can control the two puppets behind you without using chakra lines?"

Scorpion smiled and said, "Are you serious? Do you want to know?"

"Of course..." Pei Ai smiled, tore off the half of the beheading sword in his hand from the 'round hole' part, and wore it around his neck as a decoration, "Please tell me, I'm very interested."

Scorpion produced a blood bag and threw it behind him. Biwa Juzang leaned over and dipped the beheading sword in the blood bag, and the broken sword grew back.

Scorpion sat on the high watermelon mountain and shared with Pei Ai his most proud achievement in puppetry art over the past six months.

——Parasitic line.

It turned out that half a year ago, when fighting with Nagato, what shocked Scorpion the most was not the guns and cannons of Shurado, but the Six Paths of Pain technique itself.

Using only the black stick as a medium, the practitioner's chakra and consciousness are remotely synchronized to the body to be manipulated.

This made him realize deeply that the previous method of controlling puppets with chakra lines was simply too weak.

Even if the operator's skills improve and the number of puppets that can be controlled increases to dozens, hundreds, or even thousands, the price will inevitably be a decrease in control accuracy.

It is no exaggeration to describe them as a mob.

Scorpion realized that the puppet art he had been pursuing had its upper limit severely restricted at its starting point!

He resolutely decided to abandon the method of using chakra strings to control puppets and instead look for a new medium of control!

This is not a betrayal of art, but a sublimation of art.

So, there is the 'parasitic line'.

Pei Ai said, "Can you let me see your parasitic line?"
