Scorpion's Domain
With the Third Kazekage dead, the final showdown naturally unfolded between Uchiha Yue and Sasori of the Red Sands.
Under normal circumstances, if Uchiha Yue were to fight Sasori of the Red Sands would have absolutely no chance of winning. This is because Uchiha Yue's current strength far surpasses Sasori of the Red Sands's. Even while blind, Uchiha Yue possesses the insightful Purple Eye, a powerful artifact that still counters Puppet Master. Therefore, if Uchiha Yue in his normal condition, Sasori of the Red Sands would be utterly powerless against him.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue's current condition is extremely precarious, especially after being neutralized by Sasori of the Red Sands's poison; his Chakra reserves are only 30% of what they were originally. Sasori of the Red Sands, on the other hand, is almost at his peak, having only been hit once by the Third Kazekage 'Sasori of the Red Sands attack. Therefore, the outcome of the fight between Uchiha Yue Sasori of the Red Sands is uncertain.
However, before the fight, Uchiha Yue never lost confidence in himself. Even when he was not in good condition, he still had a confident smile on his face. Especially when Uchiha Yue the Sasori of the Red Sands Fubuki Tachi and stepped into Sasori of the Red Sands's side with the Uchiha Yue technique, he felt that the scales of Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step had already tipped in his favor.
Because Sasori of the Red Sands's close-combat abilities are practically nonexistent compared to Uchiha Yue!
"Whoosh..."
Even with his Chakra nearly depleted, Uchiha Yue's Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step remained incredibly powerful. Moving around Sasori of the Red Sands, Uchiha Yue didn't need to worry about Sasori of the Red Sands's attacks at all. This was because the unique rhythm of Uchiha Yue's Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step gave Uchiha Yue a second to adjust his position. No matter how Sasori of the Red Sands controlled his humanoid puppet to attack, Uchiha Yue had that one second to react.
A full second was more than enough time for Uchiha Yue to dodge.
Looking at Sasori of the Red Sands, even while controlling ten humanoid puppets, he was still unable to attack Uchiha Yue. In particular, Uchiha Yue's spiritual energy was extraordinary, suppressing Sasori of the Red Sands's senses, making it difficult for Sasori of the Red Sands to even pinpoint Uchiha Yue's location. Furthermore, under the overwhelming power of the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step, even launching a single attack on Sasori of the Red Sands Uchiha Yue became a pipe dream for Sasori.
But...
Just as Uchiha Yue was brimming with confidence, preparing to kill Sasori of the Red Sands without taking any damage...
Suddenly, Uchiha Yue's foot went numb for a moment, directly revealing an opening in front of Uchiha Yue of the Sasori of the Red Sands!
"Red Secret Technique: Ten Puppet Control!"
"Attack!"
The moment Uchiha Yue showed a weakness, he could sense with his Purple Eye that the ten puppets controlled by Sasori of the Red Sands were attacking him simultaneously. The attacks from those ten puppets were just ordinary attacks using hidden weapons, and in theory, Uchiha Yue, using the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step, should have been able to easily dodge them.
However, just as Uchiha Yue about to use the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step to dodge, he felt the numbness in his legs getting worse and worse.
Immediately, Uchiha Yue sensed that something was wrong and quickly used the Falling Moon Style: Flash Step to dodge.
As Uchiha Yue used the Falling Moon Style: Flash Step to barely dodge all the hidden weapons launched by Sasori of the Red Sands using his ten puppets, Sasori of the Red Sands's voice reached Uchiha Yue's ears:
"Uchiha Yue, your legs are starting to go numb, aren't they?"
How did you know?
Upon hearing Sasori of the Red Sands's words, Uchiha Yue frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Could it be that you poisoned me again?"
"That's right, I was the one who poisoned it."
As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on Sasori of the Red Sands's lips. Then Uchiha Yue heard Sasori of the Red Sands say with extreme confidence, "Uchiha Yue, you didn't notice how I poisoned him at all, did you? Well, even someone like the Third Kazekage couldn't figure out how I poisoned him, so how could you Uchiha Yue, possibly know? Uchiha Yue, so what if you have the title of Asura? Compared to the Third Kazekage, aren't you just a shallow fellow?"
"Now, let me, Sasori of the Red Sands, show you how I apply my poison!"
Sasori of the Red Sands paused slightly, then his gaze slowly shifted to the ground. He then spoke to Uchiha Yue, "Uchiha Yue, long ago, when I decided to make this place a battlefield, I planted poison in the sand of this battlefield. However, those poisons need to be activated through a special method. As for the method of activation, it is the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand Technique!"
"The Third Kazekage couldn't possibly carry countless Iron Sand around, so when he used the Iron Sand Technique, he needed to use the sand on the surrounding ground to condense the Iron Sand. The Land of Land of Wind is covered in sand, making it the most suitable place for Sunagakure ninjas to fight, even the Third Kazekage was no exception. Therefore, I deliberately poisoned the sand on this battlefield. As long as the Third Kazekage condenses the Iron Sand and mixes his Chakra into the surrounding sand, the poison in the surrounding sand will be activated. In this way, no matter how strong the Third Kazekage is, he will still be poisoned by the poison I used during the battle."
"Unless he doesn't use the Iron Sand Technique!"
"As for you, Uchiha Yue, how did you manage to be poisoned?"
"Blame it on yourself: when you fought the Third Kazekage, you came into contact with his Iron Sand, didn't you?"
At this point, Sasori of the Red Sands's smile had become even more pronounced.
On the other hand, Uchiha Yue's brows furrowed even more deeply.
At this moment, Uchiha Yue had already made up his mind. He knew why he had been poisoned by Sasori of the Red Sands, just like the Third Kazekage. Undoubtedly, Sasori of the Red Sands's poison was spread through Chakra. Just now, when Uchiha Yue used the Falling Moon Style Tail Kagune, he used the Kagura formed from Chakra to entangle the giant Iron Sand created by the Third Kazekage using the Iron Sand Secret Technique.
Furthermore, just as Uchiha Yue his Falling Moon Style Tail Kagune, he also absorbed the Chakra that had been binding the giant Iron Sand created by the Third Kazekage using the Iron Sand Secret Technique back into his own body. In this way, the deadly poison that the Third Kazekage was originally going to suffer from naturally entered Uchiha Yue's body. As for the reason why Uchiha Yue is now poisoned, that's much simpler.
Because the ground Uchiha Yue is currently standing on is covered with deadly poison laid by Sasori of the Red Sands.
If Uchiha Yue stays on this battlefield for even a second, the deadly poison will invade his body within that single second.
That is to say...
If Uchiha Yue were to fight Sasori of the Red Sands in this very battlefield, he would have no chance of winning!
This battlefield belongs to Sasori of the Red Sands!
Deadly Poison Domain!
