Late at night, the sky is gray.
Third Kazekage was walking alone in the territory of Land of Rain, and behind him Iron Sand was like a vast and mighty river of stars.
The current situation can be said to be extremely good. As long as we persist, Hidden Stone Village will never be able to withstand it.
Third Kazekage feels that Sunagakure may be able to become the winner second only to Konoha. This is just a wonderful intuition, but he has no doubt about it.
In order to ensure victory in the war, he was even more attentive than when dealing with Konoha.
No mistakes allowed!
Like tonight.
Chiyo, through Summoning Beast, sent a message from Land of Wind, saying that Iwagakure Ninja was found and was preparing to cross the defense line and go deep into Land of Wind from Land of Rain to destroy the transportation line.
Third Kazekage immediately came to ambush after seeing this top-secret information.
Land of Wind's geographical environment makes Hidden Sand Village's supplies extremely scarce.
In the past, Hidden Stone Village was an ally and could provide help, but now he is an enemy, and even the slightest mistake in supplies can occur.
So he came in person.
As we entered Land of Rain, rain started to fall from the sky. As time passed, it became more and more intense. Third Kazekage couldn't help but stop, raised his head and reached out to catch the rain.
He thought of that guy Hanzō for no reason.
It would be great if they could form an alliance with themselves. If the two of them join forces, they will definitely be able to tear off a huge piece of Hidden Stone Village's fat.
It's a pity...Hanzō this idiot.
Suddenly, Third Kazekage, who was walking slowly in the pouring rain, saw a strange figure standing under a big tree with his back to him.
This picture is unreasonable and unreasonable.
Because it is completely inconsistent with the information Chiyo described dozens of Iwa-nin.
Chiyo will not harm him, Third Kazekage is certain.
The figure turned around and said flatly, "I hate waiting for others."
After turning around, Third Kazekage could see the person's appearance more clearly.
Or not a human being.
The short reptilian-like creature with a big tail in front of him was casually draped in a large cloak, with Sunagakure Forehead Protector on his forehead... Although the overall appearance was disappointing, judging from the appearance, it was indeed a Sunagakure ninja.
But Third Kazekage, who always had an excellent memory, could not find the Sunagakure ninja who fit his identity in his mind.
"Who are you?"
Third Kazekage Since he came here alone, he naturally would not cower and run away.
What happened tonight is extremely strange. Chiyo will not harm him. That means Chiyo's information is wrong, or... something happened to Chiyo.
He wanted to get some useful information.
Third Kazekage moved forward slowly instead of retreating, getting closer. Only then did he realize that this short creature was indeed not a human being, but more like some kind of modified humanoid Puppet.
The scorpion hiding in Hiruko also looked at Third Kazekage, who was known as the strongest.
His eyes were complicated, and inadvertently, the atmosphere around him became a bit more tense.
Xie finally spoke, but his voice was deep and vicissitudes of life.
"Third Kazekage, you have never done anything that I like in your life. You have always been stupid, including coming here alone this time, but... this is your style."
Hearing this extremely disrespectful remark, Third Kazekage couldn't help but frown.
From these words, it can be concluded that the other party knows him very well and is very sure that he will come alone.
Of course.
Third Kazekage has always been confident that he can fly, and even if he cannot defeat him, he can retreat calmly, which is enough to deal with all emergencies.
This Shinobi World, where can he go?
Of course, this also confirmed Third Kazekage's previous guess.
This ninja with a disguised identity is not only the Sunagakure ninja, but also quite familiar with him.
The letter from Chiyo... may not be from Chiyo, and Chiyo is not the only contractor of Summoning Beast.
"Are you... a scorpion?" Third Kazekage asked aloud after thinking about it.
"You're not hopelessly stupid yet." Xie no longer concealed his identity, and his extremely cold voice came from Hiruko.
"You led me to Land of Rain, do you want to kill me?" Third Kazekage laughed dumbly.
He remembered that Xie was only fourteen or fifteen years old this year. At this age... Sasori of the Red Sand was indeed an extremely outstanding genius, but if he wanted to kill him Third Kazekage, was he a little too confident?
Even Konoha Lightning at this age is not so crazy, right?
"Since you came to the door, it just so happens that I will get rid of you today." Third Kazekage smiled on his face.
Although he didn't kill Xie's parents back then, he had the intention of letting them die on purpose.
Similarly, the growth of Scorpion over the years has also made Third Kazekage fearful.
Sasori of the Red Sand... This is Sunagakure's name for scorpion, and it even means a faint sense of pride.
If Third Kazekage abdicates in a few more years, his disciple Rasa may not be able to compete with the grandson of Chiyo.
Third Kazekage still wants to be the "Tai Shangying" and continue to hold power. How could he allow Scorpion to take over?
He had long wanted to kill Xie, just like he had dealt with Xie's parents, but Chiyo was too protective, and Xie was obsessed with Puppet all day long, so Third Kazekage was hard to do.
But today I delivered it to my door. Why didn't Third Kazekage accept it?
In fact, Third Kazekage was also a little surprised. He had never noticed that Xie had murderous intentions towards him before. It was really scary for such forbearance to appear in a young man.
But forbearance alone is not enough. Without the support of terrifying strength, it is just seeking death!
Scorpion hooked his right hand, and a Scroll was held in his palm, and five beast-shaped Puppet appeared in his hand.
"Puppet... The most restrained of my Magnet Release is Puppet." Third Kazekage smiled.
He waved his hands, but his expression suddenly changed. "Poison... when did you administer the poison?"
Scorpion said nothing.
In fact, the poison started to spread as early as half a year ago. When Scorpio opened Jonin Meeting every day, the smell on his body spread invisibly.
But at this point, it's not poison yet, it's just some mixed gases.
Otherwise, with Chiyo's ability, he would have noticed it long ago.
The real opportunity is the letter to Third Kazekage. There is a special thing in it that can accelerate the integration of the mixed substances accumulated in Third Kazekage's body into the blood for half a year.
But even at this point, it is still a chronic poison.
The final murderous intention is contained in this Land of Rain rain.
Rainwater carries a catalyst that catalyzes chronic poisons into acute poisons, forming a drug that inhibits the movement of chakra.
This was specially developed by Scorpion for Third Kazekage. He had been patiently preparing for so long, just like Scorpion hiding in the dark, just for tonight's fatal blow.
Third Kazekage shook his head slightly to regain his composure.
Sand-Rock War is on the verge of breaking out. If he dies here, if nothing else, Sunagakure will definitely lose.
Scorpion hooked again, but this time he threw ten Scroll.
His gesture changed and he said indifferently, "The standard for measuring a Puppet Master is how many Puppet it can control at the same time.
Grandma is known as the strongest Puppet Master because she can control Chikamatsu Ten Puppets at the same time. My Puppet is not as powerful as hers.
But in terms of quantity, it was much more than her. "
Following Scorpion's eloquent talk, dozens of Puppet filled the sky!
Third Kazekage looked pale.
He didn't expect that Scorpion's ability to endure was so strong.
In the past, Scorpion could only show that he could control seven Puppet, but now it seems that the difference is a thousand miles away.
Scorpion's five fingers were slightly bent in a closed posture, and he asked, "Can these... can kill you?"
The wind howled, and the rain fell on Hiruko's head and shoulders.
