Kakashi's eyes were always locked on Deidara and Xie on the opposite side, and his tone was low and fast.
"The enemies are Akatsuki's Deidara and Scorpion, as well as the one wearing the mask. Be careful of their long-range attacks."
Naruto nodded, clenched his hands into fists, and his blue eyes were burning with fighting spirit.
"Oh!"
He roared, cheered himself up, glanced randomly at Hinata and Sakura beside him and said.
"Hinata, can you see what's going on inside that puppet?"
Hinata didn't speak, but her Byakugan was turned on.
The field of vision penetrated the thick shell of Hiruko, clearly reflecting the scene inside.
I saw a group of human-like things curled up inside the puppet, controlling it.
"It's a person!" Hinata's voice was a little nervous.
"There... is a person inside that puppet! He is hiding in the puppet's torso and controlling everything!"
"Sure enough." Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly. "Just like what Hidan remembered, the body of the scorpion is hidden inside the puppet."
Sakura heard this, his eyes flashed.
"In other words, as long as the shell is broken, you can directly attack his body."
"It's not that simple." Yamato shook his head.
"The shell itself is an extremely sophisticated combat puppet. It integrates offense and defense and is difficult to break through."
While several people were rapidly exchanging information, Xie suddenly moved.
Hiruko's mouth slowly opened. It was an extremely slow movement, but at the moment it opened, countless poisonous needles spurted out from the big mouth, like a dense raindrop, pouring towards Kakashi's group.
The speed of the poisonous needle was extremely fast, and the sound of the poisonous needles was so sharp and harsh that it broke through the air.
"Spread out!"
Kakashi shouted low and was about to dodge to the side when he saw Hinata standing next to him. His reaction speed was obviously a beat slower.
Yamato's reaction was one step faster than him.
He pressed his hands violently to the ground, and the thick wooden wall suddenly rose from the ground, forming a thick and solid wooden wall in front of everyone.
"Dong dong dong dong dong -!"
The muffled sound of poisonous needles piercing the wooden wall was as dense as rain. Each needle was deeply embedded in the wood, and the tail of the needle was still trembling slightly.
"It's so dangerous..." Naruto looked at the purple-glossy poisonous needles on the tree trunk and swallowed.
During the brief period when the wooden wall blocked the poisonous needle, Sai was not idle.
He quickly took out the ink pen and scroll, and the tip of the pen quickly moved across the paper, and with just a few strokes, he outlined the outlines of dozens of ink-colored birds.
He Hand Seals with one hand, and those Ink Bird immediately flew up from the paper, flapping their wings, like a group of black sharp arrows, whizzing out from the top of the wooden wall and heading straight for the scorpion's body.
Scorpios react very quickly.
The scorpion tail swung violently in the air, and the tip pointed out continuously like a poisonous snake. With a few crisp sounds of "Puff, Puff, Puff", several Ink Bird were accurately penetrated, turning into balls of ink and exploding in the air.
But there are too many Sai and Ink Bird. Although the scorpion tail is fast, there are still fish that slip through the net.
Several Ink Bird crossed the interception of the scorpion's tail and hit the shell of Hiruko. Although they did not cause any substantial damage, they successfully attracted the scorpion's attention.
Just when the scorpion's mouth turned upward, ready to clean up the remaining Ink Bird, Deidara also took action.
He took out a handful of white clay from Ninja Tool Pouch and quickly shaped it into dozens of thumb-sized Clay Spider. He raised his hand and the spiders immediately spread out and clung to the surface of the wooden wall.
"Explode."
"Boom--!"
There was a loud noise, and the wooden wall was blown to pieces. Sawdust and dust flew into the sky, blocking everyone's sight.
In this diffuse smoke, a thick and sharp log suddenly shot out like a giant python, with a whistling sound that broke through the air, and rushed straight towards the direction of Deidara.
Deidara's pupils shrank suddenly and instinctively jumped to the side.
Scorpion and Tobi also moved to both sides at the same time, avoiding the impact of the wooden pillar.
The wooden pillar hit the ground, splashing up a piece of gravel, and a long ravine opened in the ground.
At the top of the wooden pillar, a figure quickly appeared.
Kakashi.
He jumped to the top of the wooden pillar the moment it shot out, and with the high-speed momentum of the wooden pillar, he instantly closed the distance to Deidara.
As soon as Deidara landed, before he could stabilize his body, he saw the figure of Kakashi already close at hand.
The scarlet Sharingan is particularly conspicuous in the smoke and dust.
"Tsk!"
Deidara reacted very quickly. He quickly reached out to Ninja Tool Pouch with his right hand, took out a handful of white clay, and instantly pinched several fist-sized Clay Spiders in his palm, and threw them towards Kakashi.
The spider stretched its limbs in the air, opened its slender legs, and rushed towards Kakashi's face.
Kakashi's Sharingan rotates rapidly, giving a panoramic view of every spider's trajectory.
He did not retreat, and swung out the Kunai in his hand continuously. The light of the sword flashed in the air, accurately cutting off the connection points of each spider.
"Puff puff puff--!"
Clay Spider was cut in half, lost its activity, and fell to the ground one after another.
Kakashi's footsteps did not pause at all. While cutting off the last spider, he twisted his body violently, and using the inertia of his sprint, he swept his leg towards Deidara's waist and abdomen.
Deidara's pupils shrank and he had to raise his hands to block.
"Bang!"
The legs and arms collided, making a dull impact sound.
Deidara's arms were numb from the shock, and his body staggered two steps to the side. Before he could stand still, Kakashi's second blow had already followed.
This time it's Kunai.
Kakashi flipped his wrist, and Kunai's blade tip went straight to Deidara's throat.
Deidara gritted his teeth and leaned back suddenly. The tip of Kunai's blade brushed against his chin and brought up a few golden hairs.
Taking advantage of the inertia of leaning back, he exerted force with his feet, and his body ejected backwards, opening a few meters away from Kakashi.
"Bah... so difficult to deal with."
Deidara stood still, moved his numb arms, and a trace of solemnity and excitement flashed in his golden eyes.
On the other side, Scorpion had just stabilized his figure and was about to support Deidara when an orange figure had already stopped in front of him.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
The voice of Naruto sounded, and dozens of Shadow Clone instantly appeared around Scorpion. They raised their fists and swung at Scorpion from all directions.
The scorpion swept its tail and accurately hit five Shadow Clone. The five Shadow Clone instantly turned into white smoke and dissipated.
But more Shadow Clone had already pounced on it, their fists and feet falling like raindrops on the outer shell of Hiruko, making intensive knocking sounds.
"Little tricks."
Hiruko's shell remained motionless, and Scorpion's tone did not show any fluctuation.
His scorpion tail flipped in the air and swept continuously, and several more Shadow Clone were scattered.
But the real Naruto had taken advantage of the chaos and circled around to Scorpion's flank.
There was a blue Rasengan condensed in the palm of his hand, and a Shadow Clone, one on the left and one on the right, rushed toward Scorpion's side at the same time.
"Rasengan!"
Rasengan brought the high-speed rotating Chakra and hit Hiruko's waist.
Ke Scorpion's reaction was surprisingly quick. He quickly retracted his tail and slapped Rasengan with his backhand.
"Bang--!"
The impact force of Chakra shook the scorpion's tail apart, and most of Rasengan's strength was also dissipated, leaving only a shallow depression on the outer shell of Hiruko.
Naruto was bounced away by the repulsive force of the scorpion tail. He flipped twice in the air before settling down. He shook his numb right hand and gritted his teeth.
"So hard..."
He muttered in a low voice, but his eyes became more solemn.
At this moment, another figure rushed out from the side.
"Go to hell--!!"
Sakura's voice was filled with ferocious energy, her pink hair was flying in the wind, her right fist was filled with Chakra, and with a sound of breaking through the air, it hit Scorpion's face.
The scorpion's body leaned back slightly, the scorpion's tail retracted instantly, and the whole body ejected backwards, avoiding Sakura's fist.
"Boom--!"
Sakura's fist hit the ground. The ground shook violently, gravel flew everywhere, and a deep pit with a diameter of more than two meters appeared under her feet, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading in all directions.
Xie stood a few meters away, looking at the deep pit, his brows frowning slightly under his mask.
"Strange strength..."
His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of undetectable fear.
