After the words fell, Tobi suddenly emerged from the ground behind Deidara, raising his hands with excitement on his face.
"Ah, senior! How can you say that to me? I have been trying hard to delay them."
Deidara was startled by his sudden movement, turned back to glare at him, and cursed angrily.
"Just stay patient and don't cause trouble!"
"Yes yes yes--"
Tobi protracted the ending, but did not take it seriously. He just squatted aside and watched the battlefield with interest.
On the other side, six other people also rushed to Naruto.
Kakashi, Yamato, Sai, Neji, Hinata, Shino, teeth--plus Naruto and Sakura, there are nine people in total.
Nine versus three.
Deidara glanced at the group of dark figures on the opposite side, then looked back at Xie and Tobi beside him, curled his lips, and then said in unison.
"Three against nine?"
"Nine versus three!"
The two said in unison.
"The advantage is mine."
The moment the words fell, both parties moved at the same time.
Scorpion opened Hiruko's mouth first, and the fine purple poisonous needles poured out like a rainstorm, overwhelmingly sweeping towards Konoha's side, suppressing the entire audience.
Deidara took advantage of this gap to quickly take out a large handful of clay from Ninja Tool Pouch, kneaded it quickly with both hands, and in the blink of an eye, a huge white clay dragon was created.
C2 Dragon.
The giant dragon spreads its wings and is more than ten meters long. Its entire body is made of white clay.
Deidara turned over and jumped onto the dragon's back. The dragon flapped its wings suddenly, setting off a gust of wind, and quickly took him up into the air, occupying an absolute height advantage.
At the same time, he quickly threw dozens of fist-sized Clay Bomb to Tobi on the ground.
"Bury these and arrange them according to the old rules."
Tobi took over from Clay Bomb with a brisk tone.
"I know, senior!"
Before he finished speaking, his whole body quickly sank into the ground as if sinking into water and disappeared.
Scorpion also retracted his mouth, took several special Clay Puppet dropped by Deidara, and controlled them to fall to the ground.
Under the control of Scorpion, these Clay Puppet's movements are flexible and precise, which is completely different from the stumbling and clumsy appearance of Deidara when used.
They took steady steps, formed a formation like real ninjas, and quickly approached Konoha.
the other side.
"Yamato!" Kakashi shouted.
Yamato didn't answer, and already pressed his hands to the ground.
"Wood Release, Wood Locking Wall!"
Several thick wooden logs quickly rose from the ground, forming a solid wooden shield in front of everyone, blocking all the dense poisonous needles.
"Boom, boom, boom--"
The muffled sound of the poisonous needle piercing the wood was continuous, and the tail of the needle was still trembling slightly.
Yamato did not stop, he quickly gathered a few more wooden shields, turned around and threw them at the four people Naruto, Ya, Sakura and Hinata behind him.
"Take it! Anti-virus needle!"
The four caught the shield but did not put it on immediately.
Sai did not participate in the ground defense. The moment Yamato raised the wooden wall, he had already taken out the ink pen and scroll. The tip of the pen moved quickly and quickly sketched the outlines of several large Ink Bird.
"Super Beast Imitating Drawing!"
Ink Bird flew out of the paper and spread its wings.
Sai turned over and jumped on the back of the first Ink Bird, and said to Kakashi and Shino at the same time.
"Come up!"
Kakashi did not hesitate and quickly jumped on Ink Bird.
Shino followed closely behind and landed on the back of another Ink Bird.
The three Ink Bird spread their wings at the same time and rushed towards the Deidara in the air.
Upon seeing this, the scorpion on the ground immediately adjusted its angle and prepared to spray its poison needle at Ink Bird above.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, an orange figure had already seized the gap.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto shouted and summoned several Shadow Clone instantly.
Each Shadow Clone holds the Wood Release given by Yamato, and like a moving wall, they quickly gather together to form a thick human shield.
"Charge!"
Naruto gave the order, and Shadow Clone immediately took steps, held up their shields, and rushed towards the scorpion.
Sakura and Hinata followed Shadow Clone, Neji guarded the flanks, and Byakugan always locked on Scorpion's every move.
Xie's attention was attracted by the group of Shadow Clone holding shields. Instead of using the poison needle, he quickly sprayed out a thick purple poisonous mist from his mouth.
The poisonous mist spread rapidly on the ground, covering the entire area in front of Shadow Clone in the blink of an eye.
"Don't stop!" Naruto shouted, and Shadow Clone didn't hesitate at all, still holding up their shields and rushing forward.
However, just as they were about to rush into the poisonous mist, a figure suddenly stopped.
"Neji?" Naruto turned around and shouted.
Neji didn't answer, but just raised his right palm, and Chakra quickly condensed in his palm.
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"
With a slap of his palm, invisible air flow shot out from his palm, like a huge fan, violently scattering the poisonous mist in front of him, revealing a narrow but clear passage.
Shadow Clone did not hesitate and immediately continued to rush forward along the passage.
But the moment they rushed through the poisonous mist, they were greeted by several humanoid clay puppets.
Those puppets moved flexibly and accurately under Scorpion's superb control, and were definitely not as clumsy as when used by Deidara.
They quickly dispersed and cut into the Shadow Clone formation at extremely tricky angles.
Before Shadow Clone, who was rushing at the front, had time to swing his fist, a puppet was already close to him, and its arms locked his arms like pliers.
"Bang!"
The puppet decisively exploded, and the flames swallowed up the Shadow Clone and several surrounding clones.
The shock wave of the explosion caused Shadow Clone behind to stagger back, and the formation was instantly disrupted.
"Damn it!"
Naruto gritted his teeth and controlled the remaining Shadow Clone to continue rushing forward.
Sakura didn't hesitate. She took advantage of Shadow Clone's cover and stepped out from the flank. She focused her right fist on Chakra and smashed it hard at a nearby puppet.
"Boom!"
A deep pit was made on the ground, and rubble was scattered everywhere, but the puppet rolled nimbly to avoid her attack at the critical moment, and then approached her like a poisonous snake, trying to wrap around her arm.
Sakura quickly closed his fist and retreated. Hinata supported him from the side, holding Chakra in his palm and hitting the puppet's chest directly.
"Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists!"
Chakra condensed into the shape of a lion's head in her palm, and blasted towards the puppet with fierce momentum.
However, as if the puppet had predicted her movements, its body leaned back at a strange angle, avoiding Hinata's palm strike.
Hinata frowned and did not pursue. Instead, he quickly distanced himself and put his hands in front of him in a defensive posture.
Her face looked a little solemn.
The flexibility of these puppets far exceeded her expectations. Under the control of Scorpion, they seemed to have a will of their own. Every step they took was just right to avoid attacks, and every counterattack accurately caught her flaw.
Naruto is also in trouble.
His Shadow Clones were entangled by several puppets. Whenever he was about to launch an attack, those puppets would quickly retreat or self-destruct to disrupt his rhythm.
Explosions came one after another, and Naruto was blown up and down, but it was still unable to really touch the scorpion's body.
And in this chaos, only Neji still maintains a calm attitude.
I saw him pouring Chakra into the palm of his right hand, and the fire attribute Chakra danced slightly on the fingertips, forming a layer of scorching luster.
"Eight Trigrams Flame Palm."
He shouted low, and with the hot air waves wrapped around his palm, he accurately hit the chest of a puppet that was trying to get closer.
"Zi--"
The high temperature instantly penetrated the clay body of the puppet, and the surface cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, with a dark red light shining through the cracks.
Neji didn't stop. He made a mistake in his step, then struck another puppet with a backhand, accurately hitting the head of another puppet.
There was another "sizzling" sound, and the puppet also began to crack, and the clay surface continued to peel off.
Scorpio in the distance frowned slightly when he saw this scene.
He could feel that the puppets were rapidly losing activity.
The scorching high temperature penetrated the internal structure of the clay, burning away the chakra injected by Deidara, completely destroying the puppet's activity.
Just when Neji was about to shoot the third puppet, Deidara in the air caught a glimpse of this scene and softly uttered a word.
"Click!"
All the remaining clay puppets made a harsh bursting sound at the same time and began to expand rapidly!
"Not good!" Naruto's pupils shrank suddenly.
Neji had the fastest reaction. He almost made a judgment the moment he heard the "click".
"Rotation!"
His body suddenly rotated, and Chakra formed a semicircular blue barrier around him, covering Naruto, Sakura, Hinata and the remaining Shadow Clone behind him.
"Boom--! Boom--! Boom--!"
Continuous explosions exploded outside the Rotation barrier, and flames and shock waves spread in all directions like a tide, turning the entire area into scorched earth.
The explosion lasted for several breaths before it gradually subsided, and the Rotation barrier slowly dissipated.
In the midst of the smoke and dust, an orange figure rushed out of the aftermath of Rotation like an arrow from a string!
That's Naruto.
He was already ready the moment Neji released Rotation. There was a blue Rasengan rotating at high speed in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the figure of Hiruko in front of him.
Xie's vision was obscured by the smoke and dust from the explosion. When he reacted, Naruto had already rushed to a position less than five meters in front of him.
Rasengan brought the high-speed rotating Chakra, and smashed straight towards Hiruko!
The scorpion did not hesitate and decisively stretched out the metal scorpion tail behind its back to resist the blow.
"Bang--!"
Rasengan hit the scorpion tail's carapace accurately, exploding a shock wave.
There were cracks in the carapace of the scorpion's tail, which could not be completely blocked. The force was transmitted through the scorpion's tail to the Hiruko body, causing the scorpion's figure to sway slightly.
But he also took the opportunity to shoot out the chain on his right hand, which wrapped around Naruto's ankle like a poisonous snake. He pulled hard and dragged Naruto to the ground.
"Naruto!"
Sakura rushed up immediately upon seeing this.
However, as soon as she showed her head, the scorpion's poisonous stings immediately rained down on her, forcing her to retreat to avoid it.
When Scorpion was about to knock out Naruto and quickly retreat.
"Eight Trigrams Palm!"
A white figure shot out from the flank.
Neji didn't know when he had reached the side of Scorpion, holding the water attribute Chakra in his palm, and slapped Hiruko hard on the waist.
The scorpion reacted extremely quickly, and the remaining scorpion tail instantly moved sideways, blocking the path of the palm.
"Bang!"
The water attribute Chakra penetrates into the carapace, leaving a wet water mark on the surface.
Scorpio was about to breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to retreat Neji--
Neji's other hand has turned into a palm, and the fingertips condensed a ray of hot fire attribute Chakra, which accurately penetrated into the gap where the water attribute Chakra shot into just now.
"Gentle Fist!"
"Zi--!"
Water and fire suddenly evaporated in the sealed carapace, and the expansion force of the steam exploded violently.
"Bang!"
There was only a muffled sound, and the shell of Hiruko was opened with a crack from the inside by the impact force. The body of the scorpion was blown out of the puppet by the steam.
The black figure rolled several times in the air before it managed to stabilize itself and fall down.
Under the hood of the figure, he could see that his breathing was somewhat rapid, and there was a rare flash of shock in his empty eyes.
Scorpion stood up slowly and took off his hood.
The short red hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and the young and handsome face was revealed, with empty eyes, but with an undisguised murderous intent.
He raised his head and looked at Neji, his voice was cold.
"Kill you."
