Chapter 311 Scorpion in Adversity

Yashamaru turned around suddenly, and when he saw Bai Ye's figure, a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He didn't know who this person was, but he was certain that the other party was definitely not a ninja from Sunagakure, but most likely a companion of Scorpion. And judging from this person's calm temperament, the other party's strength was likely to have reached the level of Kage.

In front of a powerful Kage-level warrior, he had no chance to resist or escape.

All they could do was to follow the other party's instructions and watch this rare battle.

While watching, Yashamaru couldn't help but look back at Bai Ye. When he found that the other party was not staring at him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and began to guess the identity of this mysterious young man.

Bai Ye noticed Yashamaru's gaze, but didn't take it too seriously.

He asked Yashamaru to stay here, mainly to prevent Yashamaru from being killed by the aftermath of the battle. In the battle between Sasori and Shukaku, the strength of the Jonin was just a stronger cannon fodder.

After Sasori became the Fifth Kazekage, he always needed a senior ninja by his side to do things.

Otherwise, with Scorpion's personality, he would definitely put aside his work as the Kazekage and hide in the laboratory to study puppets. In this way, the Sand Village would not be able to provide him with rewards continuously.

At this time, Shukaku, who was fighting with Scorpion, noticed Byakuya and Yashamaru. After taking a deep breath, he accumulated energy and completed the air training bullet and broke through the air!

Feeling the pressure coming towards him, Yashamaru closed his eyes.

With his ability, it was difficult to dodge Shukaku's attack. He could only pay the price of serious injury and withstand the attack head-on.

However, the next moment, Yashamaru saw a scene that he would never forget.

Bai Ye simply raised his hand and caught the training bullet fired by Shukaku. Then he sat on the cliff as if nothing had happened and continued to watch the battle leisurely.

Stunned, Yashamaru came to Baiye and said incoherently: "You just took Shukaku's attack. That's a ninjutsu that is enough to destroy a huge rock."

Bai Ye glanced at Yashamaru and said calmly: "Is Shukaku very strong? It's just a tanuki. Even if it has great power, it's just a stupid beast."

After hearing this, Yashamaru fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Shukaku is the strongest fighting force of Sand Village. All the successive Kazekage have tried to control Shukaku and use his power to defeat the enemies of Sand Village.

But Shukaku, who was regarded as the strongest fighting force by Sunagakure, was actually regarded as a stupid beast.

He didn't know whether his perception was too low or the opponent was too powerful beyond his imagination, but what was certain was that things were going to change in Sand Village tonight.

Whether it is the mysterious puppeteer who looks like Scorpion, or the mysterious young man in front of him.

Their arrival will disrupt the peace of the Sand Village and make the future of the entire Sand Village unpredictable.

……

As time went on, more and more Sand Ninjas noticed the battle between Sasori and Shukaku.

When they climbed onto the roof and saw Shukaku, who was as tall as a mountain, and Scorpion, who was fighting with him, their eyes were filled with confusion.

First of all, that yellowish monster must be Shukaku from his own village.

But wasn’t Shukaku sealed in Gaara’s body, so how could he suddenly appear outside the village? Was Gaara’s mind controlled by Shukaku, or was there some other reason?

Secondly, who was the ninja who fought Shukaku? It didn't seem to be the Kazekage Rasa.

With doubts in their hearts, the Sand Ninja formed a large force and approached the battle site, and soon saw Sasori and Shukaku fighting in the desert. Although they were quite far away, they could still see the large number of puppets controlled by Sasori and Shukaku.

After seeing this scene, the Sand Ninjas became even more confused.

They didn't know the puppeteer who was fighting Shukaku, and the number and quality of puppets controlled by the puppeteer were too outrageous.

When did the puppets have the ability to fight the tailed beasts?
Just when the Sand Ninjas were confused, Shukaku glanced at them and began to perform ninjutsu indiscriminately around them. One after another, wind-style ninjutsu was poured out at will as if it didn't require chakra.

Many Sand Ninjas were hit by ninjutsu before they could react and fell into the yellow sand.

After several Sand Ninjas lost their ability to fight, the remaining Sand Ninjas began to take their fight seriously. What they were facing were not ordinary enemies, but the tailed beasts that were regarded as geniuses.

After a brief eye contact, the Sand Ninjas formulated a strategy to deal with the enemy.

Some people went to the rear to notify more people to come for support, some people set up a sealing array on the spot, and the other part was responsible for fighting Shukaku head-on to buy enough time.

The setting of the sealing array is not difficult. It only takes a dozen minutes or so to set up a formation in the desert that can trap Shukaku.

But more than ten minutes was enough for Shukaku to kill them dozens of times.

Noticing that the ninjas of the Sealing Class were about to be hit by Shukaku's ninjutsu, Scorpion quickly sent a puppet to block the attack in mid-air, and then used chakra to transmit his voice:
"You burdens, stop disturbing the fight between me and Shukaku, all of you, get out of here."

After hearing this, the rescued Sand Ninja looked at Scorpion, expressed gratitude with his eyes, and hurriedly left. Scorpion was right, they were just a burden here.

But human chakra is limited, while the chakra of the tailed beasts is almost infinite.

Although this puppeteer can resist Shukaku at present, he will surely run out of strength and be defeated as time goes by.

Thinking of this, the Sand Ninja shouted to Scorpion: "Puppet Master, please retreat for the time being. You won't be able to hold on for long if you continue like this. Once you are defeated, we will definitely not be able to stop Shukaku."

"Let's wait until Lord Kazekage comes. Lord Kazekage will definitely be able to deal with Shukaku."

"You mean the coward that is the Fourth Kazekage? I don't need Rasa's help. He continues to stay in the mines, dreaming about a dream that he can never realize."

The Red Sand Scorpion snorted coldly, his words full of disdain for the Fourth Kazekage.

After hearing this, the faces of the surrounding Sand Ninjas changed. They did not know the puppeteer in front of them, but from the tone of his voice, it seemed that the other party had a great grudge against Rasa.

Could it be Ye Cang's subordinates, or ninjas from other factions?

Taking advantage of the moment when Scorpion was distracted, Shukaku grabbed all the puppets on the ground, sank them hundreds of meters underground, and used the huge pressure to crush all the puppets.

Having lost a large number of puppets in an instant, Scorpion's face became extremely ugly.

Without the help of magnetic escape, he is really no match for Shukaku. No matter whether it is a human puppet or a mechanical puppet, he cannot resist Shukaku's catastrophic destructive power.

But if he took out the Kazekage puppet at this moment, his assassination of the Third Kazekage would be exposed.

After deciding in his mind, he took out the scroll that contained the Kazekage puppet, in part to prove his strength and free Gaara from Shukaku's control.

On the other hand, he trusts Bai Ye and believes that Bai Ye's judgment will not be wrong.

Since Bai Ye asked him to be the Kazekage of the Sand Village, he will definitely be able to become the Fifth Kazekage of the Sand Village.
