Chapter 311 Scorpion in Adversity

Yashamaru turned around suddenly, and when he spotted Byakuya's figure, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He didn't know who this person was, but what was certain was that the other person was definitely not a ninja from Sunagakure. He was most likely a companion of Scorpion. And judging from this person's calm and unhurried temperament, the other person's strength was probably at the Kage level.

In front of a shadow-level powerhouse, he had no chance to resist or escape.

You can only obey the other party's instructions honestly and observe this rare battle.

While watching, Yashamaru couldn't help but look back at Byakuya. When he found that the other person was not staring at him, he couldn't help but feel relieved and began to guess the identity of this mysterious young man.

Byakuya noticed Yashamaru's gaze and didn't pay much attention to it.

He asked Yashamaru to stay here, mainly to prevent Yashamaru from being affected by the aftermath of the battle and dying. The jounin's strength was just a stronger cannon fodder in the battle between Scorpion and Shukaku.

And after Scorpion became the Fifth Generation Kazekage, he always needed a jounin by his side to do things.

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

At this time, Shukaku, who was fighting Scorpion, noticed Byakuya and Yashamaru. After taking a deep breath, he charged up and completed the empty missile training and came through the air!

Feeling the pressure on his face, Yashamaru closed his eyes.

With his ability, it was difficult to evade Shukaku's attack. He could only pay the price of serious injury and resist the attack forcefully.

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

Byakuya simply raised his palm to receive the blank missile fired by Shukaku, and then sat on the cliff as if nothing happened, continuing to watch the battle leisurely.

The stunned Yashamaru came to Byakuya and said incoherently: "You just accepted Shukaku's attack. That is a ninjutsu that is enough to destroy the boulder."

Byakuya glanced at Yashamaru and said calmly: "Is Shukaku strong? It's just a tanuki. No matter how powerful it is, it's just a stupid beast."

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

Shukaku is Sunagakure's strongest combat power. The Kazekages of all generations have tried to control Shukaku and use Shukaku's power to defeat Sunagakure's enemies.

But Shukaku, whom Sunagakure regarded as the strongest fighter, was actually evaluated as a stupid beast.

He didn't know whether his knowledge was too low, or whether the other party was stronger than he imagined, but what was certain was that things would change for Sunagakure tonight.

Whether it's the mysterious puppet master who looks like a scorpion, or the mysterious young man in front of him.

Their arrival will break the peace of Sunagakure Village and make the future of Sunagakure Village unpredictable.

…

As time went by, more and more Sand Ninja noticed the sounds of Scorpion and Shukaku fighting.

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 full of doubts.

First of all, the khaki monster must be Shukaku Ichibi from his village.

But Shukaku wasn't 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 doesn't seem to be Kazekage Rasa.

With doubts in their hearts, Suna Ninja formed a large force and approached the battle site. Soon they saw Scorpion and Shukaku fighting in the desert.

Although they were quite far apart, they could still clearly see the large number of puppets controlled by Xie and Xie.

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

They didn't know the puppet master who fought Shukaku, and the number and quality of puppets controlled by the puppet master were outrageous.

When did puppets also have the ability to fight tailed beasts?

Just when the sand ninjas were confused, Shukaku caught a glimpse of them and began to use ninjutsu indiscriminately around them. Wind release ninjutsu poured out randomly as if there was no need for chakra.

Many sand ninjas were hit by ninjutsu before they had time to react and fell into the yellow sand.

After several Suna Ninja lost their ability to fight, the remaining Suna Ninja began to get serious. They had to face not ordinary enemies, but tailed beasts who were regarded as geniuses.

After a simple 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 the sealing array on the spot, and the other people were responsible for fighting Shukaku head-on to buy enough time.

The arrangement of the sealing circle is not difficult. It only takes ten minutes to arrange a development that can trap Shukaku in the desert.

But ten minutes were enough for Shukaku to kill them dozens of times.

Noticing that the ninja in the sealing class was about to be hit by Shukaku's ninjutsu, Xia quickly sent a puppet to block the attack in mid-air, and then used chakra to transmit a message:

"You burdensome people, don't interrupt my fight with Shukaku. Get the hell away from me."

After hearing this, the rescued Sand Ninja looked at Xie, expressed his gratitude in his eyes, and left the place quickly. Xiao was right, they were just a burden here.

But human chakra is limited, while tailed beast chakra is nearly infinite.

Although the puppet master can resist Shukaku at the moment, he will definitely lose his strength and gradually lose as time goes by.

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

"It's better to wait until Kazekage-sama comes. Kazekage-sama will definitely be able to deal with Shukaku."

"Are you talking about the coward the Fourth Kazekage? I don't need Rasa's help. He still continues to stay in the mine, dreaming about dreams 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 Ninja changed. They did not know the puppet master in front of them, but judging from the tone, the other party had a lot of resentment towards Luo Sand.

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

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

A large number of puppets were lost in an instant, and Xie's face became extremely ugly.

Without the help of magnetic escape, he is really no match for Shukaku. No matter it is a human puppet or a mechanical puppet, he can't resist Shukaku's natural disaster-like destructive power.

But if the Kazekage puppet is taken out at this moment, his assassination of the third Kazekage will be exposed.

After making a decision in his mind, he took out the scroll where the Kazekage puppet was stored. On the one hand, it was to prove his strength and free Gaara from Shukaku's control.

On the other hand, there is trust in Bai Ye. He believes that Bai Ye's judgment will not be wrong.

Since Byakuya asked him to be the Kazekage of Sunagakure Village, then he can definitely become the fifth generation Kazekage of Sunagakure.
