Grandma Chiyo Lost Her Mind

Qian Yun panicked a little, then sent the crow to destroy the apex of the wind eye.

However, as soon as the crow approached the tornado's range, it fell straight down as its vitality drained away.

This wouldn't do. If this continued, the entire Land of Wind would be doomed.

Qian Yun immediately summoned the Scorpion King that had been playing dead nearby. He wanted the Scorpion King to throw him into the air so he could use the Water Gun Technique to destroy the apex of the wind eye.

Thud, thud, thud...

The Scorpion King still made an enormous racket when it ran, but Qian Yun could no longer worry about being discovered by Hidden Sand ninja.

About an hour later, the Scorpion King finally caught up to the tornado.

But by then, the tornado had turned into a black sandstorm roughly thirty miles in diameter.

Qian Yun's face went pale with shock. Just as he was about to have the Scorpion King toss him into the air, he horrifically discovered One-Tail Shukaku at the very center of the wind eye.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

Boom!

One-Tail Shukaku attacked, assuming it would be an easy catch.

As it turned out, Qian Yun had been overthinking things. Ordinary Wind Release only expanded the black sandstorm and showed no sign of dispersing it.

One-Tail Shukaku seemed somewhat exhausted, then suddenly erupted with chakra.

Boom!

A translucent Tailed Beast Bomb shot toward the wind eye high above. The surrounding air shook, and the winds weakened as a result.

Boom! Boom!

One-Tail Shukaku fired two more Tailed Beast Bombs, and the wind eye in the sky finally collapsed.

At that instant, Qian Yun felt as though something had been added to his body, while One-Tail Shukaku turned to stare at him.

Its gaze brimmed with killing intent.

Little Lizard: "Wahaha... I've gotten stronger! From now on, all you monsters have to obey my commands!"

Sand Snake: "The power of sand is so wonderful. Why not give me some more?"

Red-Eyed Crow: "So it was the power of wind. Thank you for your gift, Master!"

White Zetsu: "Nani, nani... Why didn't I get any?

Master, Master, I can actually speak human language, and I even know when I need to poop. Please grant me power!"

Qian Yun felt awkward, and he suddenly noticed that many Hidden Sand ninja in the distance were staring in his direction.

The red auras around Grandma Chiyo and Pakura gradually intensified, while One-Tail Shukaku suddenly moved without warning.

Wind Release: Sand Scattershot!

Qian Yun was scared out of his wits and immediately hid behind the Scorpion King.

Screech, screech...

The Scorpion King let out several strange cries of pain after being hit, then fired scorching sand bullets.

However, One-Tail Shukaku was in a rampage at the moment and immediately fired a Tailed Beast Bomb.

Rumble...

Qian Yun had thought the Scorpion King could withstand it head-on, but he was bitterly disappointed.

The Scorpion King was instantly killed and died on the spot. Qian Yun could only hurriedly take out a scroll and seal it away.

Seeing that One-Tail Shukaku refused to let up, Qian Yun quickly fled for his life.

"You foul-mouthed brat, you're dead! Get him!"

After Grandma Chiyo roared, Pakura of the Scorch Release, her face twisted, also leaped out.

"You filthy pervert, no one can save you today!"

The two charged at him menacingly, frightening Qian Yun into immediately using the Wind Body Flicker he had seen an hour ago.

However, the Body Flicker covered a little too much distance and was a little too fast. Qian Yun couldn't keep his balance and plunged headfirst into the hot sand.

Seeing his feet flailing wildly in the distance, Pakura instantly flickered over. Her Scorch Release: Steam Kill was already gathering power.

Qian Yun sensed that something was wrong. In theory, the Hidden Sand ninja had already closed in.

So, before he could even pull out his upper body, Qian Yun directly used Wind Release to flee.

This time, because he had raised his position, Qian Yun appeared in midair. Seeing that he was about to crash down onto Pakura, Qian Yun used Wind Release again.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Qian Yun appeared three miles away again.

"Tch!"

Pakura gritted her teeth and quickly used Body Flicker to chase after him.

But the problem was that Qian Yun's Wind Body Flicker was too fast. Pakura pushed her chakra to the limit, yet she still could not catch him.

Grandma Chiyo roared hysterically, "Damn brat, you actually dared to strip away Shukaku's chakra! You have to die this time!"

Hearing that, Pakura finally understood why Qian Yun's strength had surged so much, and her fragile self-confidence found a little satisfaction.

A group of people chased Qian Yun, and even One-Tail Shukaku followed.

Earlier, the Hidden Sand ninja force had come to this area to seal One-Tail Shukaku, only for a black sandstorm to suddenly erupt.

Then they saw that the black sandstorm seemed to be Qian Yun's doing. Anyone would have been burning with rage.

Moreover, there was another problem now. The news that One-Tail Shukaku was roaming free could not spread, or ninja from other countries would definitely come to fight over it.

Therefore, Qian Yun had to die. There was absolutely no room for negotiation.

The group madly pursued Qian Yun. Grandma Chiyo's blood pressure had been soaring lately, and old grudges mixed with new hatred nearly drove her berserk.

Her speed rose again and again, and Pakura of the Scorch Release was no different. Right now, they wanted nothing more than to tear that filthy pervert Qian Yun apart with their bare hands.

Dust billowed across the desert. Qian Yun used Body Flicker continuously for two hours without shaking them off, and he had even swallowed more than a dozen Soldier Ration Pills.

This wouldn't do. If he didn't shake them off soon, no amount of Soldier Ration Pills would help.

Just when Qian Yun had nowhere left to turn, he really did find a sliver of hope.

Yesterday, he had been pursued by a Hidden Stone ninja force and charged into a Hidden Sand ninja ambush.

Today, a Hidden Stone ninja force was also lying in ambush. Without a second thought, Qian Yun charged directly into their trap.

He even deliberately slowed down a little, waiting for the two sides to start fighting.

He focused and swept his gaze around, discovering a group of youths to his front left. The other positions were all guarded by adult ninja.

The youth squad lacked combat experience and was theoretically the easiest point to break through, so Qian Yun immediately changed direction and rushed toward them.

Rumble!

The moment Qian Yun changed direction, a Tailed Beast Bomb flew in from behind him. A group of Hidden Stone jonin wanted to curse their mothers.

Qian Yun's soul trembled with fear. It seemed as though heaven had just favored him, because that Tailed Beast Bomb had arrived without a sound.

He had no idea how One-Tail Shukaku had managed it.

At the Hidden Stone youth squad's ambush point, Qian Yun rushed through and used another Sand Substitution to escape.

The Hidden Stone youths rushed out and threw shuriken, striking the Hidden Sand ninja at just the right moment. The two sides instantly clashed.

The Hidden Stone youth squad suffered grievous casualties, while Qian Yun had already escaped far away.

The Hidden Stone elder shouted furiously, "Send someone to keep an eye on Konoha's Evil Doctor! Never approach him alone! His speed is more than three times faster than yesterday!"

Everyone was stunned. Then, a sensory ninja quietly followed Qian Yun.

By then, the Hidden Stone ninja force had already surrounded Grandma Chiyo and Pakura. Both sides were fighting with their lives on the line.

The two killed as swiftly as meat grinders, yet the Hidden Stone ninja did not seem to hate them much. It was as though their killing was only natural.

That was rather strange.

Meanwhile, One-Tail Shukaku had already vanished. It seemed unwilling to become involved in a ninja war.

Just as Pakura and Grandma Chiyo were severely wounded and narrowly escaping with their lives, Qian Yun had already slipped into a mountain hollow along the border of the Land of Earth.

He found a cave to rest in. He was exhausted beyond measure, and his chakra had already run dry.

He ate and drank while warily watching his surroundings.

Little Lizard suddenly said that it wanted to eat the Scorpion King.

Qian Yun had originally wanted to refuse, because in theory, the Scorpion King was a companion.

But as soon as Little Lizard finished speaking, the crow leader also sent over its thoughts, saying that they had too few chances to feed.

Qian Yun gave a wry smile and took out the Scorpion King's corpse for his beast pets to share.

But then a group of Dragon Blood Trees also sent over their thoughts, saying that he should leave the Scorpion King's remains to them. They did not mind eating anything.

Helpless, Qian Yun tossed the Scorpion King's shell and some food scraps onto the tree roots as well.

Thankfully, these Dragon Blood Trees did not eat much. Otherwise, feeding them alone would have been troublesome.
