Compared with when he first infiltrated Sunagakure, Scorpion was in an extremely embarrassed state at this time.
The Hiruko used to protect the core of Chakra was beaten to tatters, and the Third Kazekage Human Puppet was even more torn to pieces. Only the human form could be barely seen, and the ordinary puppets he usually accumulated were not even left.
The reason why he was in such a mess was not only because he had to face Magnet Release's attack from Rasa, he also had to face the attack from Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets, which was the puppet left by Sunagakure First's puppet master, and represented Sunagakure's highest technology in puppetry.
If he hadn't violated the taboo and created a large number of Human Puppet capable of using ninjutsu in advance, he might not even be able to escape Sunagakure.
However, he is already in such a mess, Rasa is not much better.
When Rasa smashed his Kazekage Human Puppet, he was also poisoned by the poison he carefully prepared. In order to rescue Kazekage, the old woman Chiyo gave up the chance to chase him and allowed him to escape successfully.
Without the leadership of Rasa and Chiyo old ladies, Sunagakure was left with those trash Jonin who didn't even have the idea of chasing him. He left Sunagakure smoothly. If they followed them forcibly, they might have a chance to keep him.
Pulling back his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Scorpion dragged his exhausted body and hid behind a boulder, and began to think about the gains and losses.
First of all, last night's lurking plan was undoubtedly a failure.
Not only did he fail to hunt One-Tail Jinchuriki, he was even discovered by Rasa without even seeing One-Tail Jinchuriki's face.
According to Rasa, long before he sneaked into Sunagakure, someone had taken the lead and abducted One-Tail Jinchuriki.
This sounds ridiculous, but if you think about it carefully, it makes some sense.
Judging from his experience growing up in Sunagakure, Sunagakure is not good at Barrier Ninjutsu, and Ninja with strong sensory abilities are also very rare. It is impossible to discover him as soon as he infiltrates and wait for him in advance where One-Tail Jinchuriki is imprisoned.
So someone really kidnapped Jinchuriki before him, and made him bear the wrath of Sunagakure.
I don't know who this person is - but all in all, his mission was a failure, and the losses were extremely heavy.
Different from the ordinary Ninja, he is a puppet master, and most of his combat power comes from the puppets he creates. Once the puppets are lost, it is extremely difficult to replace them in a short time.
Especially for those Human Puppet who have the strength of Jonin, it is not that easy to find suitable materials.
Now after losing these puppets, his strength is estimated to be only about Elite Jonin. It is quite easy to deal with the ordinary Genin Chunin, but it may be a hard battle against the ordinary Jonin.
Another reason for the failure of this mission was lack of manpower.
According to the usual configuration of Akatsuki, at least two people are required to carry out the task. When two strong Kage Level team up, even if they are encircled and suppressed by one of Five Great Ninja Villages, they still have the power to fight.
It's a pity that he has been unable to find a suitable teammate for so many years.
And if you team up with Orochimaru, it's better to be in a team alone, and you don't have to worry about being killed by your teammates when you fall into weakness.
After some deliberation, Scorpion decided to use the ring to contact Deva Path Pain and report the fact that Jinchuriki was taken away early.
At this moment, Scorpion suddenly felt a familiar Chakra.
After looking closely, he found a mysterious man wearing a mask and a child less than ten years old looking at him on the sand dunes not far away.
Scorpion didn't recognize the mysterious man wearing a mask, but he recognized Tailed Beast Chakra on the child.
Seeing this scene, Scorpion didn't understand that the mysterious man was the culprit who kidnapped One-Tail Jinchuriki and made him besieged by Sunagakure.
Thinking of this, Scorpion felt endless anger in his heart and wanted to tear the mysterious man into pieces.
But when he thought that except for the broken Hiruko and Kazekage Human Puppet, there were no usable puppets around him, Scorpion began to hesitate whether to take action.
When Scorpion was struggling, Youhu walked quickly towards the former, with a kind smile on his face and said, "Isn't this the scorpion that attacked Sunagakure last night? If you hadn't diverted Sunagakure's attention in time, I wouldn't have been able to bring Gaara out so easily."
"Are you also Ninja of Akatsuki?"
Seeing that Youhu revealed his identity so easily, Scorpion quickly asked. At the same time, his mind began to quickly search for memories related to the face of Youhu, but he couldn't remember anything.
"I can be considered Ninja of Akatsuki. I am Uchiha Madara's subordinate, and I was sent to assist you in hunting One-Tail."
"Madara's men?"
Hearing this, Scorpion said coldly, "Madara asked you to assist me because you asked me to clean up the mess after you kidnapped One-Tail Jinchuriki."
"Can a capable person work harder? After all, I don't have the strength of Master Xie." Youhu spoke in a faint tone, without any respect in his words.
"The guy who hides his head and shows his tail--"
Scorpion, who was unwilling to fall out at this moment, suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "But it is a good thing that the mission is completed. Now give Jinchuriki to me, and we will return to Akatsuki together."
"Jinchuriki is my trophy, I have no intention of handing it over."
Youhu said unhurriedly, and then he seemed to remember something, and said with an unexpected look, "Senior Scorpion, you look very weak now, why not let me protect the Kazekage Human Puppet in your hand."
"You want to attack me?"
Scorpion's gaze became dangerous, and he immediately urged Kazekage Human Puppet in his hand. After extracting Iron Sand from the desert, he condensed the long hair of Iron Sand and threw it towards Youhu.
"Wood--"
When Youhu was about to use Wood Style to respond to the enemy, he suddenly remembered something and stood still.
When Iron Sand's long hair was about to stab the body, Youhu mobilized Magnet Release Chakra in his body, directly snatched away the control of Iron Sand's long hair, and immediately rushed towards Scorpion with the Iron Sand spear.
"Who are you! You can also control Iron Sand!"
Seeing Youhu attacking with a Iron Sand spear, Scorpion instantly understood that the mysterious man in front of Byakugan was just like the Third Kazekage in his hand, a strong man who had mastered Magnet Release.
"Control Iron Sand. I can control more than just Iron Sand."
Youhu chuckled, directly manipulated the sand under Scorpion's feet, dragged Scorpion directly into the sea of sand, and immediately put his hands together to activate Great Sand Burial Technique.
Scorpion felt his eyes go dark, and the surrounding quicksand began to squeeze in crazily.
Soon, cracks began to appear in the hard Hiruko, and the next moment it turned into endless fragments, exposing the body of Scorpion.
It is said to be the essence, but in fact it is not the real essence.
It is Human Puppet that was transformed from the physical body left behind after Scorpion condensed his consciousness into the core of Chakra.
If Youhu is another Ninja, he might be deceived by Scorpion, but he has the information about most of Ninja World's powerful people, and he knows the information about Scorpion very well.
Bringing Scorpion's body to the ground, Youhu left a streak of Flying Thunder God Mark on its Chakra core. He immediately released Scorpion's body and said lightly, "Senior Scorpion, it seems that your strength is not that great. You can't even deal with me, a little Genin."

Perceiving the marks left on Chakra's core and the sand in the cracks in his body, Xie knew that he had completely lost, but he still said stubbornly, "If I hadn't experienced the battle last night, you wouldn't be my opponent."
"I didn't expect that a strong man like you would do such a despicable thing."
"Can I interpret your expression as impotent rage?"
Youhu looked at the extremely delicate Scorpion in front of him and said nonchalantly, "But the puppet technology you have studied is indeed very good. I will not kill you until I get your technology!"
"Of course, my puppet skills are the strongest at Ninja World."
Hearing Youhu praise his puppet skills, Scorpion felt much better.
At this time, Youhu changed the topic and said, "However, I don't agree with the statement that your puppetry skills are the strongest Ninja World. Among the puppet masters I know, there are two who are stronger than you."
"Who?"
"Nagato Uzumaki is also our Lord Leader. His Six Paths of Pain is the six strongest puppets of Ninja World. You and I have seen Deva Path Pain among them with our own eyes.
"Pain's puppet is indeed better than me--"
Although he was very dissatisfied, Xie had to admit that the puppets of Pain were stronger than any puppets he had made. However, the reason why those puppets were powerful was to a greater extent because of the legendary Rinnegan.
In comparison, Xie was even more curious about who the other puppet master was, "But besides Pain, Ninja World, who else is stronger than me in the way of puppetry!"
"Toneri--"
Youhu said Otsutsuki Toneri's name calmly, and also thoughtfully gave Xie a reason. "In terms of strength alone, the puppet controlled by Toneri is not as powerful as the one you made."
"But Toneri is the same as Pain, he has the ability to operate puppets from a distance."
"The wired and wireless Chakra are extremely noticeable on the battlefield. As long as the technology for remote control of puppets is not developed, you will not be able to surpass them."
"Of course I know wireless is better than wired, but do you know how many Chakra it takes to operate a puppet from a distance?"
At this moment, Scorpion was already immersed in technical exchanges and raised his head to question Youhu.
Youhu sneered, "Scorpion, didn't you notice the Black Rods on Pain's face and body? That is the Chakra receiver. As long as you can make the Chakra receiver, there will be no problems in operating the puppet wirelessly."
"Although you can't make Black Rods, you can do something similar with Magnet Release."
"Have you ever used Third Kazekage Human Puppet for so long and never thought about doing something with Magnet Release? Why do you think every generation of Kazekage has mastered Magnet Release?"
"In addition to the need to use Magnet Release to suppress One-Tail, the bigger reason is because of Magnet Release's help to Puppet Technique."
"Is that really what happened?"
Scorpion showed a look of realization. He had never thought about the connection between Magnet Release and Puppet Technique. The man in front of him was right. He failed to study the function of Magnet Release.
Unexpectedly, he would one day be educated by others regarding Puppet Technique.
Thinking of this, he became even more curious about Youhu's identity. Ninja, who could connect Magnet Release and Puppet Technique, was definitely a genius puppet master who was proficient in Puppet Technique.
However, what Scorpion didn't know was that Youhu was just talking nonsense based on his past life experience. If the relationship between the two parties hadn't been so bad, he would have even wanted to persuade Scorpion to build a Gundam.
After all, Gundam is the ultimate romance of the Puppet Master.
At this time, Gaara, who had witnessed the whole battle between Youhu and Xion, came over. He pointed at Xie and said, "Who is he? Is he also the person who attacked me last night?"
Youhu nodded and said, "He is Xie, the grandson of Elder Chiyo."
"Scorpion?" Gaara was stunned for a moment, then said, "I seem to have heard Chiyo's mother-in-law mention him. Didn't he die many years ago?"
"He is not dead. After killing Third Kazekage, he joined Akatsuki. This time he came here specifically to take you away and take away the Tailed Beast from your body."
"Scorpion is also here for One-Tail, so isn't he your companion?"
Gaara said confusedly.
"He is half a companion, but now he has become my prisoner--"
At this point, Youhu seemed to remember something and said, "Gaara, I plan to bring Xie to my base and let him teach my subordinates Puppet Technique, are you interested in Puppet Technique?"
"Puppet Technique, Kankuro seems to be learning Puppet Technique--"
Gaara thought for a moment and then said, "I don't know if I'm interested, but you can go over and give it a try. Brother, do you still have many subordinates?"
"There are quite a few, there should be hundreds of people.

Youhu nodded slightly and said immediately, "They will be here soon. You will follow them to Land of Fire later. Senior Xie, you must also come with us. The puppet technology of our organization will depend on you in the future."
"Humph."
Scorpion said with an ugly face, "Why should I teach you the art of puppetry? Aren't you afraid that I will kill your men after I take back control of my body?"
"You wouldn't do that."
Youhu said calmly, "And you don't have the strength. Even my subordinates may not be able to defeat you in your heyday, not to mention that you only have the last puppet left."
"You are so strong, why do you want to sneak attack when I am not prepared?"
Scorpion dismissed Youhu's statement. He did not believe that Youhu was particularly powerful. If Youhu was really powerful, he would not ambush him here.
Facing Scorpion's ridicule, Youhu didn't say much, just stood there and waited silently.
Not long after, a Uchiha team came out of the desert. The leader Ninja was none other than Youhu's top subordinate Uchiha Tiehuo.
After entrusting Gaara and Scorpion to Uchiha Tiehuo, and deploying some more isolation-sensing ninjutsu on the two, Youhu lifted Wood Clone Technique directly in front of Scorpion.
And when he saw Youhu turned into a few logs on the spot, Scorpion showed a ghost expression.
It turns out that Youhu did not lie. The opponent had always used Wood Clone to fight him. Wood Clone is so powerful, so how powerful is its main body?
