Chapter 152: The Intrigue Duo
In the clearing between the trees, the scorpion tail of the Red Sand Scorpion swept wildly, and the gale wind swept up the fallen leaves on the ground.
And the target of the scorpion tail is Jiraiya, who is in front of Tsunade.
The most unique and unguardable thing about the puppet of the Red Sand Scorpion - Scarlet Amber is the scorpion tail that stretches freely, and with the superb puppet control skills of the Red Sand Scorpion himself, most ninjas can be easily killed.
But it is definitely impossible for the Red Sand Scorpion to defeat Jiraiya with this alone, and the continuous scorpion tail attacks have been dodged by Jiraiya.
When the sharp blade on the scorpion's tail slices through the fresh fallen leaves on the ground, the fallen leaves are easily sliced, and the green color on the fallen leaves quickly fades and turns black and purple.
This scene happened to be seen by Jiraiya, who was paying attention to the environment around the battlefield, and Jiraiya immediately understood that these blades had been coated with poison and could not be touched.
Although there is now a master of detoxification behind him who can ensure that he does not die, it is impossible for Tsunade to detoxify immediately in this situation.
Once he is poisoned, Tsunade stops to detoxify himself, and Orochimaru can easily escape.
So for a while, Zilai didn't dare to relax his carelessness, and dodged the attack of the scorpion tail with all his might.
After jumping a few steps, Jiraiya attracted the tip of the scorpion tail to attack quite a distance, and the joints on the scorpion tail were almost stretched to the limit.
Jiraiya found the opportunity, and after dodging a scorpion tail attack just now, he immediately used the spinning force of his feet on the ground to make a handsome throw in the air, and threw three kunai at the red sand scorpion that was still standing in place.
After a while, Jilai also judged that this old man's puppet was this scorpion tail, so this tail should have both offensive and defensive capabilities.
So Jiraiya uses his body as a attraction, stretches the scorpion tail to the limit length, and then throws kunai at the old man of the main body, so that the scorpion tail will not have time to defend the main body.
But just as the kunai was about to throw it in the old man's face, the base of the scorpion tail, which looked to be the bulkiest, suddenly retracted, and a ring circled in front of the old man's face, just enough to defend all three kunai.
What?
This scene shocked both Jiraiya and Tsunade at the same time.
Because according to common sense, if this whole scorpion tail is used as a puppet, then the chakras used to control the puppet should mainly focus on the tip of the scorpion tail used to attack, so that the tip of the scorpion tail can have faster speed and flexible movements.
In fact, Jiraiya did feel quite a bit of pressure on the attack at the tip of this scorpion tail.
It is precisely because of this that Zilai judged that the puppeteer in front of him concentrated most of the chakras on the tip of the scorpion tail, and there were not many chakras to control the root of the scorpion tail, so the root of the scorpion tail would be very bulky.
But just now, when Jiraiya shot kunai, the root of the scorpion's tail also made a flexible and rapid change.
In other words, the old man in front of him has not used all the Chakras to attack, but is attacking while maintaining defense, which still causes considerable pressure on Jiraiya.
This made Jiraiya and Tsunade realize that the puppeteer in front of them was definitely not an ordinary person.
...
Jiraiya and the Red Sand Scorpion in front of him are fighting lively, but Orochimaru's side is quite deserted.
Although Orochimaru does not have many auxiliary attributes, Orochimaru, like Tsunade, chose to press the formation in this battle.
But at this time, Orochimaru's eyes did not wholeheartedly observe the battlefield in front of him, but silently looked at the unreserved back of the Red Sand Scorpion in front of him, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
Orochimaru clearly knew that the old man in front of him was the puppet genius of Sand Hidden Village, the Red Sand Scorpion, and according to his age, he was just a young man in his twenties.
As for why he looked like an old man now, Orochimaru guessed that the old man's body in front of him should be just a puppet worn on his body.
In the process of carrying out the mission with the Red Sand Scorpion, Orochimaru has been quietly observing what kind of attack methods his "companion" has.
After all, the Red Sand Scorpion is not against him, and sooner or later the two will have a fight, and studying him is like studying the enemy.
It's just that the tasks of the Xiao organization are too simple for the Red Sand Scorpion, and every time the Red Sand Scorpion can easily complete it with only that scorpion tail, Orochimaru has never had a chance to see what is hidden under the floor robe.
Is it a mechanism? Or is it the ontology?
But now that he finally has a chance, even if he is stupid, he has enough strength to make the Red Sand Scorpion show some housekeeping skills.
Wrong...
Since I might have a fight with the Red Sand Scorpion, why don't I take this opportunity to kill him directly?
Kill him here, Payne can explain there, I can use the excuse that Jiraiya and Tsunade killed him.
Thinking in his heart, Orochimaru's middle finger, which was originally close to the trouser line, moved imperceptibly.
But when the killing intent was at its climax, Orochimaru still suppressed his impulse.
Not to mention that after killing the Red Sand Scorpion, can he escape from the joint pursuit of Jiraiya and Tsunade.
Even if you want to do it yourself, you can't find a target to start.
Head?
No way, it's impossible for a clever puppeteer like the Red Sand Scorpion to overlap the head of his own body with the head of the puppet.
Heart?
It's possible, but the figure of the Red Sand Scorpion is short and fat, and it's hard to judge the location of the heart.
Wanting to kill the master of the Red Sand Scorpion, Orochimaru knew that he only had one chance, and if the sneak attack failed, what awaited him was a catastrophe.
I have more great truths to pursue, and I can't afford to fall into these catastrophes now.
After weighing the pros and cons, Orochimaru stabilized the restlessness in his heart and put back the finger that had been raised.
After Orochimaru's killing intent calmed down, the Red Sand Scorpion fighting in front also turned its soybean-sized pupils back to the front.
Of course, it is impossible for the Red Sand Scorpion to give his back to someone like Orochimaru with confidence, and it seems that he has been forcing Jiraiya to move, but at the same time, he is also distracted and paying attention to Orochimaru behind him.
Count this guy as acquaintances.
Knowing that Orochimaru had given up, the Red Sand Scorpion began to concentrate on dealing with Jiraiya in front.
...
"The art of chaotic lion hair!"
Jiraiya's hands were sealed, and the white hair on the top of his head grew rapidly, grabbing the tail of the Red Sand Scorpion like a steel rope.
Originally, the blade on the scorpion tail could cut off Jiraiya's messy hair with a flick, but the moment Jiraiya grabbed the scorpion tail, he wrapped the flicking hair into the joints of the scorpion tail.
These hairs got stuck in the joints, completely blocking the Red Sand Scorpion's tail attack, immobilizing it.
Seeing this, the Red Sand Scorpion was not in a hurry, because Jiraiya couldn't move at this time.
Suddenly, a stream of air erupted from under the Red Sand Scorpion's mask, and a dense poisonous needle shot out from the opening of the mouth and flew towards the unsuspecting Jiraiya.
