Chapter 16: A Chance Encounter with a Red Scorpion
At the edge of the village, a low wall of stones formed a pile.
A delicate teenager with a half-man-tall puppet behind him sits leisurely on a stone wall, one leg bent in front of him, while the other hangs down, shaking occasionally.
When Du Feng and the others arrived, this delicate young man who did not talk was looking up at the bright night sky.
Du Feng made a gesture to signal the whole team to stop.
"You know, the eternal thing is art."
What could be more timeless and beautiful than this starry sky that has never changed since time immemorial?
Therefore, the scorpion loves the starry sky.
"I didn't want to worry about it...... But you're disturbing my good mood. ”
Scorpion's good mood is not only because the exceptionally sunny weather tonight allows him to see this beautiful "art", but more importantly, not long ago, Grandma Chiyo led herself and the puppet troops, together with the three generations of Kazekage, to give that Konoha White Fang, including the Konoha behind it, a cruel pain.
This is simply an event for the whole country to raise their eyebrows for, and the credit is so great that even the daimyo are shocked, in addition to personally sealing the "strongest" honorific title for the three generations of wind, the scorpion's grandmother, the leader of the puppet army, Chiyo, also ascended to the position of Sand Hidden Advisor. But for the scorpion, it doesn't matter, as long as it can add to the white teeth of his enemy, whatever he does is right.
With this incident in the past, even if he had to make sacrifices now because of the two major forces, and was transferred to accept such an insignificant trap mission, the scorpion was still in a very good mood.
Although being the most outstanding genius of the puppet army and even the generation of the sand shinobi, being transferred to this remote place can be regarded as a "humiliation".
Grandma Chiyo's puppet troops aren't really good in the sand, aren't they......
The scorpion thought faintly, although his eyes fell on the few miscellaneous soldiers in front of him, he obviously didn't pay any attention to them.
Especially now that there is such an extremely powerful wind shadow, in order to ensure that he can ascend to the position of advisor, he has to sacrifice a series of subordinate rewards. As the most conspicuous up-and-comer of the puppet forces, it is not incomprehensible that Scorpion was hastily transferred away from the political center.
The reason why I was in a bad mood was just because these guys had kept me waiting for a long time.
"It's just a coincidence that I'm going to bump into you, but as a punishment for making me wait, I'll sentence you to death."
This kind of small character who doesn't even need to know the name is not even valuable as a collectible.
The slender fingers that glowed slightly white in the darkness shook slightly, and the crow behind it had spread its four legs, fluttering up, circling, and making a terrifying clicking sound.
Du Feng's face was solemn, the temperament of the strong man couldn't be faked at all, just looking at the enemy's self-confidence of not caring about how many people on his side would be, just sitting and waiting here leisurely, it was not something ordinary people could do.
What's more, the village will send information to the ninjas who can be called strong in the ninja world, and do their homework for the ninjas in the village, so he called out the identity of this guy who has only recently emerged in the ninja world:
"Red Sand Scorpion!"
Once a man killed an entire village, ninjas and ordinary people, and their blood flowed out, staining a sand red.
After seeing his eager son and the quiet girl beside him, Du Feng suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and chose the safest plan:
"Let's go!"
did not try to break through to the left and right, although the scorpion as a puppeteer is not good at speed, but the extremely flexible crow makes up for this shortcoming, in the opponent's field of vision, he actually has no other choice but to immediately retreat in a straight line.
Even so, with the speed of the two shinobi of Qingxi and Rei, it is unknown whether they can break through the interference of the other party and successfully merge with Makoto, who is covering behind his back.
Puppet clone!
Seeing that the other party chose to return the same way very decisively, the scorpion lazily shook the chakra line, and the crow immediately divided into two, one left and one right to seal the other party's breakthrough route, like a cat playing with a mouse, strolling forward, intending to slowly drive the other party back to the original place.
####分割####
The quality of Sand Shinobi is unexpectedly good.
There are six people in total, although at the beginning, Makoto broke out three of them in seconds, but after the strange power sprint three-plate axe is used, wherever Makoto sprints, the remaining three will scatter like frightened birds, sand clones, sand stand-ins or gophers drill around in the sand like sand clones, slippery and very oily.
There is one upper ninja and two middle ninja left...... As for the guys who were knocked out in seconds, Cheng didn't have time to judge what level the other party was.
Anyway, after blasting out a whirlpool of quicksand in the sand, Makoto pouted, anyway, the original plan was just to drag these people for 20 minutes, so they would definitely not dare to pursue, and their goal would be achieved.
Besides, if these people are killed, how can they recruit the remaining sand ninja to create conditions for their teammates to escape.
Makoto slowly retracted his posture and stood still.
It's been about 10 minutes, and I don't know what's going on over there...... It stands to reason that she won't meet particularly tricky characters, but she is also a three-blooded ninja, and she is particularly eccentric to assign Du Feng, who is a ninja, to her side.
The three sand ninja didn't dare to look directly into Makoto's blood-red eyes, and stood tightly together, staring at Makoto's body movements, not daring to relax at all.
Don't you run yet......
Half of the combat strength was lost in a flash, but the morale of the sand ninja troops still did not collapse made Makoto feel a little strange in his heart, so he said lightly:
"The ninja of the sand is really weak."
"Humph!"
Sand Shinobu let out a cold snort, but he didn't speak.
Makoto frowned, is it really something? Makoto suddenly became interested in the reinforcements that the enemy was expecting. Let me see who you really are...... However, if you can't say it, you have to be ready to run away at any time.
Secretly keeping a heartfelt eye, Makoto glanced at the few sand ninjas shrunk together, and smiled.
Since your reinforcements are not yet available, then I will urge you to do so.
The left hand is sealed, and the right hand is false.
A line of fire erupted into the azure vortex, and Xuan He's fireball violently lit up the night.
Compound Ninjutsu! Heroic Spiral Pill!
The rumbling sound was endless, and a large area of flames spiraled outward, and the golden-red fire wave instantly submerged the figures of the three sand ninjas.
