Three Sand Ninja were already seriously injured after being hit by the giant scorpion's tail whip, and this time the giant scorpion's whip was even more powerful than the last one.
The scorpion's tail lashed out again, about to smash the three Sand Ninja away, Shiyu Teleportation in front of the scorpion and kicked the Desert Giant Scorpion's tail away.
"What?! How is this possible?!" The three Sand Ninja were astonished. Such a huge scorpion's tail whipped around, and it was sent flying with a single, effortless kick?
"Am I dreaming?" a Sand Ninja asked.
"Dreaming is a long shot. It seems we've survived this time." One of the more mature Sunagakure realized they had encountered a formidable opponent.
Shiyu waved his hand and said, "Sunagakure ninjas, step back. You are no match for a monster of this level."
Shiyu's words were absolutely correct, because the three ninjas had just used Ninjutsu, yet they hadn't even managed to open the giant scorpion's shell.
"Alright. Don't you need any help by yourself?" The Sunagakure asked another question, but Shiyu naturally didn't answer. It wasn't because he was being pretentious, but because the giant scorpion had already made Shiyu his target.
The giant scorpion's Scorpion Stinger lunged at Shiyu again, but Shiyu nimbly dodged each time. The Scorpion Stinger struck the sand, creating several large holes.
It was quite obvious that there was a venom sac inside the Scorpion Stinger, and every part of it that had been struck was corroded by black venom.
However, Shiyu's attention wasn't on the venom, but rather on the number written on the scorpion's tail.
"A giant scorpion with numbers on its body?" Shiyu was very puzzled, but decided to deal with the scorpion in front of him first.
Scorpions have many weaknesses. They are afraid of strong light, wind, water, and fire. However, the giant scorpion in front of us has an extremely hard shell, which allows it to block Wind Release and Water Release.
"It seems there's an excellent way to deal with you." Shiyu then directly used his Kekkei Genkai Ninjutsu, combining wind and fire into one, unleashing a Scorch Release.
The Scorch Release, a combination of wind and fire elemental transformations, possesses the power to burn everything. When the Scorch Release fireball struck the scorpion, the moisture in the scorpion's body evaporated rapidly. The scorpion didn't have much moisture to begin with, and after Shiyu's terrifying Scorch Release, it quickly flipped its body over.
The giant scorpion stretched out its five pairs of legs, let out a mournful howl, and then remained motionless.
"So powerful! Isn't that Pakura's Scorch Release?!"
"I didn't expect that other ninjas besides her could use it too!?"
"Sir ninja, may I ask your name?! We truly must express our deepest gratitude for your immense kindness!"
The three Sunagakure members spoke up, but Shiyu still waved his hand seriously and said, "Don't let your guard down! Scorpions are social creatures! The commotion we've made here will likely attract other scorpions soon."
Shiyu finished speaking, they heard the sound of footsteps pounding on the sand. The ground shook violently, and countless giant scorpions suddenly rose up from under their feet. It was as if Shiyu's mouth was blessed; whatever he said came true.
"You all protect your employer. Leave all these scorpions to me," Shiyu said confidently.
Shiyu noticed that not only the giant scorpions from before, but also these giant scorpions had different numbers on their tails.
"It's like they're artificially bred. No way? Such huge scorpions, is it really possible that someone is raising them?" Shiyu had some doubts but couldn't confirm them. At that Shiyu quickly Teleportation in front of the scorpions.
"Shinra Tensei!" Shiyu unleashed Shinra Tensei, the powerful repulsive force instantly knocking a swarm of scorpions to the ground.
"There are many other techniques that are just right to annihilate you." Shiyu then raised his hand high above his head, and a Rasengan was ready to be launched. However, the transformation of the Rasengan did not stop. Soon, the Rasengan began to spin and became Rasenshuriken.
Then Shiyu added Lava Release chakra to it, and the Rasengan turned into a fiery red lava state.
"Lava Release: Rasenshuriken!" Shiyu then threw the Rasenshuriken front of Shiyu into pieces.
Next Shiyu killed these giant scorpions as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, effortlessly taking down dozens of Desert Giant Scorpion.
Not only were the Sunagakure dumbfounded, but the entire caravan was stunned, because Shiyu's technique had completely changed the surrounding environment, and even those who were very familiar with the place no longer recognized it.
"Who exactly is this ninja? How could he be so powerful?"
"What was that attack?! It easily shattered the giant scorpion's shell in an instant!?"
"His chakra is stronger than any ninja I've ever seen. Could he be a Jinchuriki from some ninja village?"
The Sand Ninja were discussing in surprise, while Shiyu had already compared all the numbers on Sasori's tail.
"Confirmed. It seems someone is indeed raising these scorpions." Shiyu then cut off the scorpion tails as spoils of war. However, Shiyu was still surprised by the toughness of the scorpion tails, as they could withstand a hit from his Rasenshuriken without breaking.
After rescuing the Sand Ninja and the caravan, they naturally came to Shiyu's side, expressing their deepest gratitude.
"Alright, no need to thank me. You should thank those three ninja from Sunagakure. If it weren't for their protection, you would have been dead long ago. I'm sure you knew there were Desert Giant Scorpion nearby, right? Yet you still dared to take the risk?"
Shiyu then warned, "I only wiped out a portion of them. I hope you'll behave yourself and not court death, otherwise even Immortal couldn't save you."
Shiyu didn't linger with the caravan or the Sunagakure members; he simply used Teleportation to leave.
"My God... Is this... is this Space-Time Ninjutsu?"
"It seems to be more than just Body Flicker Technique."
"We've probably really encountered a mysterious and powerful figure from the Shinobi World."
Shiyu returned to the desert town as quickly as possible, and then inquired about the location of the Komiya Family.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" The Komiya Family was, after all, a prominent family in the desert town, and they did have a gatekeeper.
"Find out to Komiya Tatsuya and tell him that the bounty for killing the Desert Giant Scorpion has been completed," Shiyu said calmly.
"What? You're not kidding, are you?" the gatekeeper asked incredulously.
"No, if you give this to your family head, he will believe everything I say." Shiyu took out a scorpion tail and handed it to the gatekeeper.
"This... this is the giant scorpion's tail! You really are amazing!" The gatekeeper then ran inside excitedly, still clutching the giant scorpion's tail.
