The Scorpion's Puppet Genjutsu

Before Shiyu and Xiao Xing could explain, the Sunagakure's attacks came one after another.

While Xiao Xing was still considering it impossible, Shiyu had already extended his palm.

Shinra Tensei!

"Ding-a-ling!!" A powerful repulsive force emanated from Shiyu's body, instantly creating countless craters in Shiyu walls on both sides.

The Explosive Tag, Kunai, and shuriken were all blocked from Shiyu's body by Shinra Tensei.

"Why did they attack us first, Brother Shiyu? Weren't we here to rescue them?" Xiao Xing was also full of doubts.

"I don't understand this either. Anyway, let's just take them all down first. It won't take much effort," Shiyu said.

"That's right, let's take them down first. They attacked us first, so whatever their reasons are, we'll talk about them later." Xiao Xing stuck out her tongue and instantly switched to Sage Mode.

"You... Shiyu has never submitted to anyone, but Xiao Xing's talent is truly terrifying. He can instantly activate Sage Mode just like me. I have the system and the Otsutsuki Clan's cheat code, but what makes Xiao Xing so strong?"

"I really can't figure it out. I'll think about it later." Shiyu immediately used Body Flicker Technique to attack the group of Sunagakure together with Xiao Xing.

Since they were allies, both of them held back, only knocking out all the Sunagakure.

Shiyu knocked out the Sunagakure Defense Captain that they discovered the clues.

"I see. This guy was affected by Sasori's unique puppet talisman and became Sasori's subordinate. That's why he tried everything to prevent us from entering Sunagakure."

"Release!" Shiyu then immediately dispelled the Genjutsu, and patted the Sunagakure captain's face to wake him up.

"You are"

"I am Shiyu, Uchiha Shigure, and we are reinforcements from the Shinobi Village," Shiyu said.

"It's you! You've finally arrived! The Third Kazekage is almost here. Please go inside quickly! I accidentally fell victim to that guy's curse. I'm so sorry, I was careless." The Sunagakure captain apologized awkwardly.

"I'll leave this to you. We just knocked them out." After giving the Shiyu, Xiao Xing nodded to Kohoshi, and then the two of them entered the Sunagakure together.

Sunagakure is surrounded by cliffs, with only One Line Sky leading to its entrance and exit. This limits the Sunagakure's development, restricting its buildings to a size confined to this area.

The Sunagakure was filled with low, earthen buildings, a testament to its poverty and scarcity of resources. However, Sunagakure has improved significantly since then, with many areas adopting new construction methods, all thanks to the Shinobi Village of Shiyu.

Because the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, and Shiyu traded Gold Dust with each other, the Sunagakure's economy grew considerably, Shiyu's Shinobi Village naturally also benefited greatly from it.

The Shinobi Village became the largest supplier to the Shinobi Village Sunagakure, providing water resources, ninja tools, food, clothing, and all sorts of other products.

Even the most important requests for ninjas were entrusted to the Sand Ninja by Shiyu, which means that the relationship between the two villages had reached its peak. If it weren't for the unexpected situation, Rasa would not have needed to ask for help in this emergency.

"Sunagakure didn't suffer too much damage. I think the battle should be over by now, right? After all, a long time has passed since they called for reinforcements." Shiyu then activated his Byakugan and observed the high-ranking Sunagakure officials in the Kazekage's Office.

Shiyu rushed over immediately afterward.

Before even entering, Shiyu saw the anxious faces of Grandma Chiyo and Ebizo.

"I never imagined that the Akatsuki Organization was so powerful. They even absorbed Sasori into their ranks," Grandma Chiyo exclaimed.

"Sister, do you think the ninjas from the Shinobi Village will arrive? Rasa is already seriously injured, and even Gaara has been taken away. At this point, we've reached a dead end, haven't we?" Ebizo said.

"Don't rely on others. I don't know if the Ninja Village will come, but I think as allies, the Shinobi Village will at least do something, right?" Chiyo was also very worried.

"Alas, our Sunagakure has no successors. Nowadays, we don't have any outstanding young ninjas." Grandma Chiyo shook her head.

"Sister, Konoha is the same. The Third Shinobi World War resulted in the deaths of many excellent ninjas. Now everyone is trying to lick their wounds. The Five Great Shinobi Villages are all working hard to restore their village's economy and education, attempting to cultivate the next generation of excellent ninjas."

"But the Shinobi Village wasn't affected. After all, how old are their Shinobi Kage? Not even adults yet. You haven't forgotten how they utterly defeated us when they were only six or seven years old, have you?" Ebizo recalled the past.

"Let's not talk about embarrassing things." Before Chiyo could finish speaking, Shiyu pushed open the door and entered.

"Report! Chiyo-sama Ebizo! Lord Shinobi Kage Lord Shiyu Shinobi Village, has arrived to provide support," a Sunagakure Anbu reported.

Grandma Chiyo waved her hand awkwardly and said, "Remember to arrive earlier next time. Didn't you see they're already here?"

"I'm sorry, I came to report as soon as I received news of Lord Shiyu's arrival. I didn't expect Lord Shiyu to be so fast. I will definitely try my best to catch up with him next time, "the Sunagakure Anbu said somewhat awkwardly.

"Hahaha, the fastest speed in the Shinobi World, how could you possibly catch up? Get out of here, get out of here." Ebizo waved his hand dismissively, and the Anbu withdrew.

Shiyu looked at Chiyo and Ebizo and asked, "Gentlemen of Sunagakure, how have you been? This time, I have come with the utmost sincerity."

Chiyo noticed a girl next to Shiyu and asked, "Who is this little girl?"

"Hello, Grandma, I'm Xiao Xing, Shiyu's younger sister."

"Hello, Lord Shiyu. I appreciate your sincerity, but bringing your sister along to provide support seems a bit too hasty, doesn't it? After all, our enemy is Akatsuki." Chiyo immediately added.

"Sister, aren't you always fighting alongside me against the enemy?" Ebizo asked.

"I'm your older sister, and you're my younger brother. They're different; one's the older brother, and the other's the younger sister," Chiyo argued, somewhat stubbornly.

Shiyu shook her head and said, "Alright, gentlemen, if you think the matter isn't urgent enough, then I'll go out for a walk first, and then wait for you to explain the current situation to me."

Chiyo and Ebizo immediately called out to Shiyu.

The situation is as follows:

"Gaara from the village was suddenly kidnapped. When the Fourth Kazekage found out, he immediately went to rescue him, but ended up being seriously injured. By the time we arrived, Gaara had already been captured. Rasa must have also seriously injured the enemy."

"So, I reckon they haven't gone far."

"What are their specific characteristics?" Shiyu asked, getting to the crucial point.

"One is blond and seems to use Explosion Release; the other is my grandson, Scorpion of the Red Sand."
